From 1988d350242b47aa52aa07904c495e7e2c0eba82 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lukasz Kasprzak Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 22:11:17 +0200 Subject: fix: audit findings — parser strictness, name ambiguity, and errors MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Found by auditing the shipped program rather than the diff. The parser accepted OCaml integer-literal syntax, so "Luke 1_1:5" read as chapter ELEVEN and "+5" as 5 -- a typo silently becoming a different chapter, reachable through any user overlay. Numbers are now plain digits and positive, and a descending range is rejected: 1:20-10 is always a transcription error. No shipped citation changed. FOUR PAIRS OF DIFFERENT BOOKS SHARED A FULL TITLE. 1 and 2 Corinthians both rendered "Epistola ad Corinthios", as did Thessalonians, Timothy and Peter -- 108 citations in 2027 alone that a reader cannot resolve to a book. This is the Kings defect fixed earlier and not generalised. The titles now carry their volume numeral, marked CONSTRUCTED, and a test asserts no two books share a name -- while allowing the case where two ids ARE the same book under different numbering, which a tradition relates. Spec section 8.5 is now delivered rather than merely recorded. Shipped styles did not re-parse their own output: 32 of 52 Latin abbreviations and 49 of 52 full titles failed, so a citation copied from colitur's own output into an overlay was passed through untouched and printed in the wrong language, silently. Every shipped name is registered as a spelling and split_book learned multi-word titles by longest-token match. Now 0 of 52 fail beyond the same-book aliases. Overlay errors were written for a compiler author: they named an OCaml source file the reader does not have and buried the useful token. The existing five-path rewriter is replaced by a generic one, applied to every load path rather than one, so "rank: is not one of the allowed values (at Class9)" replaces the raw Of_sexp_error dump. Also: the new-overlay scaffold documented citations and layer without showing them, and its comment implied the wrong nesting -- the single easiest thing to get wrong; error messages echoed whole file lines, copying an unrelated file's contents into stderr when a flag pointed at one; and config --show validated partway down its table, exiting 2 after writing five rows to stdout. --- lib/kernel/sexp_error.mli | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) create mode 100644 lib/kernel/sexp_error.mli (limited to 'lib/kernel/sexp_error.mli') diff --git a/lib/kernel/sexp_error.mli b/lib/kernel/sexp_error.mli new file mode 100644 index 0000000..d3de75b --- /dev/null +++ b/lib/kernel/sexp_error.mli @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +(* SPDX-License-Identifier: AGPL-3.0-or-later *) + +(** Human-readable form of a raw sexplib exception string. *) +val humanise : string -> string -- cgit v1.3
