FA-75587 / Text diff and three-way merge / Member archive

Character diff cleanup merge: a common suffix at the end of the text is lost · case 02

Characters shared by the final deletion and insertion disappear from the output.

Case contract

Normalize a character diff of [op, text] (op -1 delete, 0 equal, 1 insert): drop empty texts, merge adjacent equalities, collect each run of edits into one deletion and one insertion (deletion first), move their common prefix into the preceding equality (creating one at the start if needed) and their common suffix into the following equality (appending one at the end if needed).

Why this case matters

Character-level diff engines normalize raw edit scripts so that the same change always renders the same way.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

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

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
suffix at the end of the text	`[[0, "st"], [-1, "xy"], [1, "uv"]]`	`[[0, "st"], [-1, "xy"], [1, "uv"], [0, "z2"]]`	Failed
