FA-79611 / Barcode symbology encoding / Open access
A separator after a fixed-length field is reported as an unknown AI · case 01
Labels from printers that add FNC1 after every field fail to parse.
ROOT CAUSE
Redundant GS characters are not skipped, so the parser tries to read an AI starting with GS.
VERIFIED REPAIR
Skip any GS found where an AI is expected.
Unsuccessful approach: Skipping only a GS right after the identifier misses separators between fields.
Case contract
Parse scanner output of a GS1-128 symbol: it must start with the symbology identifier "]C1"; FNC1 separators arrive as GS (0x1D) and redundant separators are skipped. AIs are recognised by the shortest matching prefix among the predefined fixed-length AIs (00:18, 01/02:14, 11/13/15/17:6, 3103:6) and variable AIs (10/21 max 20, 30/37 max 8, 400 max 30). A fixed field must be complete and contain no GS; a variable field runs to the next GS or the end and must have 1..max characters. Return [[ai, value], ...] or an error.
Why this case matters
Retail, logistics, pharmacy and document workflows depend on encoders that produce exactly the module pattern, code-set switches, separators and quiet zones scanners expect; one misplaced module or separator makes a label unreadable or, worse, scan as different data.

Verification & scope
A deterministic bounded teaching model with a stipulated contract; it makes no claim of conformance to any published specification. 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.
