Unicode digits leak into an ASCII decimal token · case 01

Unicode digits leak into an ASCII decimal token.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 4 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

The implementation applies an operation whose text or grammar semantics violate this contract: Accept one or more ASCII digits, with no whitespace or sign.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Implement the complete stated contract, including the boundary fixtures: Accept one or more ASCII digits, with no whitespace or sign.

Unsuccessful approach: The attempted repair handles the primary example but still violates a separate boundary of the same contract.

Case contract

Accept one or more ASCII digits, with no whitespace or sign.

Why this case matters

A local executable model for consumers of structured text; oracle values are authored literals, not outputs copied from the repaired implementation.

Verification & scope

This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
