Scientific notation accepts an empty exponent · case 01

Scientific notation accepts an empty exponent.

ROOT CAUSE

The recognizer uses '[0-9]+(?:\\.[0-9])?(?:[eE][+-]?[0-9])?', which admits or omits a token shape forbidden by the stated grammar.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Implement the complete stated contract, including the boundary fixtures: Accept ASCII decimal mantissas with optional fraction and optional e exponent with signed digits.

Unsuccessful approach: The candidate grammar '[0-9]+(?:\\.[0-9]*)?(?:[eE][+-]?[0-9]+)?' still disagrees with the explicit boundary fixtures.

Case contract

Accept ASCII decimal mantissas with optional fraction and optional e exponent with signed digits.

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.
