Composition-aware keyboard commands: Legacy composition key events bypass the IME guard · case 01

Legacy composition key events bypass the IME guard.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 10 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

The legacy code operation uses `composing` where the contract requires `composing or code == 229`.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Implement the legacy code operation as `composing or code == 229`.

Unsuccessful approach: Requiring both indicators misses legacy-only composition events.

Case contract

Composition state or legacy code 229 delegates to native input; plain multiline Enter inserts newline; other Enter submits; Escape preserves draft; Tab honors Shift.

Why this case matters

A deterministic model of composition-aware keyboard commands; this isolates one interface invariant without requiring a browser.

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.
