UTF16 range adapter counts astral text as one unit · case 05

UTF16 range adapter counts astral text as one unit.

Case contract

Input [text,start,end,unit] where indices are measured in utf16 or codepoint units. Negative indices count backward from end, clamp to valid extent, and sort reversed endpoints. A boundary inside a surrogate pair expands outward (start down, end up). CRLF is exposed as one LF after slicing. NUL becomes replacement character. Return [exposed_text,normalized_start,normalized_end,source_units]. UTF16 offsets refer to original source, not normalized text.

Why this case matters

Offline accessibility bridge model with explicit policy; useful for testing semantic API adapters independently of browser implementations.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
surrogate interior expands	`["Z", 6, 7, 7]`	`["\ud83d\ude00", 5, 7, 8]`	Failed
