Ditto expansion reads the first row forever · case 05
A structured table violates the declared record or column contract.
Case contract
Read semicolon rows in a schema where bare ^ copies the previous value in that column, ^^ represents literal ^, and ^! resets that column to null. A copy in the first row rejects. Exactly two columns are required; an explicit empty string replaces the previous value.
Why this case matters
Delimited interchange needs explicit framing, schema and field semantics at ingestion and emission boundaries.
One recorded failure
Sample boundary fixtureThis sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
| Boundary fixture | Actual | Expected | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| copy columns | [["cellcellcellcellcell", "a"], ["cellcellcellcellcell", "b"], ["c", "a"]] | [["cellcellcellcellcell", "a"], ["cellcellcellcellcell", "b"], ["c", "b"]] | Failed |
