Fixes #282. Fixes #283.

The two remaining qa.yaml failures after #298 landed — the windows-latest unit leg and the must-pass long-term CHR leg — in one PR because they are both "turn the QA gate green" and neither touches the other's files. One commit per issue; say the word and I'll split them.

Baseline: QA run 31833917384 on main @ df94bdf, which already includes #296's gating. explain-values no longer appears in the failure list, which is the controlled confirmation that #298 worked and that what remains is a different signature.

#282 — Windows CRLF, 6 tests (explain/catalog — parsing published pages)

Git converts the frozen fixtures to CRLF on a Windows checkout. The page parser split on "\n" alone, so every line kept a trailing \r — and parsePage matches marker values exactly, so **Type:** Menu arrived as "Menu\r", no entry ever found its Type, and the parse threw:

partitions.md: entry "/partitions" at line 10 has no Type marker

Reproduced locally by feeding the committed fixtures through .replaceAll("\n", "\r\n") — same error string as CI, so this needed no Windows box to confirm.

Every line-splitting consumer — parsePage, countTypeMarkers, countRowMarkers — routes through pageBody, so normalizing there fixes all of them at a single point: split on /\r?\n/, rejoin with "\n". Line endings only. Every fail-loud check downstream is untouched, so a page whose format genuinely moved still throws.

Worth recording: countTypeMarkers survived CRLF by accident, because it prefix-matches /^\*\*Type:\*\*/ where a trailing \r never reaches. That is precisely why the marker reconciliation could not catch this on its own.

Two guards added:

  • parses a CRLF checkout identically to LF — asserts the CRLF parse equals the LF parse across all three frozen pages. Identity (rather than "both non-empty") is what covers the whole surface the AC lists — preamble, headings, Type/gate markers, ArgTable rows, both reconciliations — and keeps covering it as the fixtures change. It also re-asserts both reconciliations hold under CRLF, since two equally broken parses would also be equal.
  • still refuses an unknown Type when the page is CRLF — the AC's "do not weaken unknown-source-format failures".

Both were mutation-tested: reverting only the one-line fix turns both red, and restoring it turns them green.

#283 — long-term reject-code drift, 2 assertions

RouterOS names the offending parameter only from 7.23 (bad parameter, via /console/inspect) → validation/unknown-attribute; on ≤ 7.21.x the :parse gate rejects generically first → validation/syntax. Both are correct "rejected before anything ran" outcomes, which is what these examples exist to prove.

Both sites now use VALIDATION_REJECT_CODES — already exported from chr.ts, already used by the rest-api twin at execute.test.ts:205. These two were simply missed:

  • test/integration/execute.test.ts:368 (native-api twin of the already-converted rest-api case)
  • test/integration/mcp.test.ts:149 (example 4)

Scoped deliberately to those two. Four other integration files hard-code validation/unknown-attributeapi.test.ts, api-native.test.ts, rest-retrieve.test.ts, native-api-retrieve.test.ts. All four ran and passed on the same 7.21.5 leg, so they are a different signature rather than this drift, and relaxing them would weaken live assertions for no reason. Reading #283's first AC as "convert every site" would have masked four working tests.

The modern-side richness is not lost: execute.test.ts:219 still asserts the parameter name conditionally when the code is unknown-attribute.

Validation

Real CHRs, Intel Mac, HVF, quickchr 0.4.7, mcp.test.ts + execute.test.ts:

Version Channel Result
7.21.5 long-term (must-pass) 3/3 — was 1 pass / 1 fail, twice, including the leg's own retry
7.23.3 stable (must-pass) 3/3 — 110 expects vs 109, the conditional parameter check firing only on the modern device

bun test 2854 pass (+2 new CRLF guards), bun run lint:ci and bun run build clean.

The Windows leg itself still needs CI to confirm, since the repro here is a synthetic CRLF conversion rather than a real Windows checkout — that is what the windows-latest job in this PR's run proves.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved Markdown catalog parsing for files using Windows-style line endings.
    • Preserved validation error handling for malformed catalog data, including inputs with Windows line endings.
    • Improved compatibility with RouterOS versions that report different validation errors for unknown or invalid command parameters.
  • Tests

    • Expanded coverage for line-ending normalization and version-specific validation responses.

Six frozen-page tests failed on windows-latest and passed on macOS. Git
converts the fixtures to CRLF on a Windows checkout, and the page parser
split on "\n" alone, so every line kept a trailing \r. parsePage matches
marker VALUES exactly, so `**Type:** Menu` arrived as "Menu\r", no entry
ever found its Type, and the parse threw:

  partitions.md: entry "/partitions" at line 10 has no Type marker

Reproduced locally by feeding the committed fixtures through
.replaceAll("\n", "\r\n") — same error string as CI.

Every line-splitting consumer (parsePage, countTypeMarkers, countRowMarkers)
routes through pageBody, so normalizing there fixes all of them at one
point: split on /\r?\n/, rejoin with "\n". Line endings ONLY — every
fail-loud check downstream is untouched, so a page whose format really moved
still throws.

countTypeMarkers survived CRLF by accident, because it prefix-matches
/^\*\*Type:\*\*/ where a trailing \r does not reach. That is why the marker
reconciliation could not catch this on its own.

Adds two guards: a CRLF-vs-LF parse-identity test over all three frozen
pages (which covers preamble, headings, Type/gate markers, ArgTable rows and
both reconciliations at once, and keeps covering them as fixtures change),
and one proving an unknown Type on a CRLF page still throws. Both verified
to go red with the fix reverted and green with it.

Fixes #282

…fting assertions (#283)

The long-term CHR leg failed on 7.21.5 in execute.test.ts and mcp.test.ts:
RouterOS names the offending parameter only from 7.23 (`bad parameter`, via
/console/inspect) → validation/unknown-attribute, while ≤ 7.21.x rejects
generically at the :parse gate first → validation/syntax. Both are correct
"rejected before anything ran" outcomes, which is what these examples prove.

Both now use VALIDATION_REJECT_CODES, already exported from chr.ts and
already used by the rest-api twin at execute.test.ts:205 — these two sites
were simply missed.

Scoped deliberately to those two. Four other integration files hard-code
validation/unknown-attribute (api.test.ts, api-native.test.ts,
rest-retrieve.test.ts, native-api-retrieve.test.ts); all four RAN and PASSED
on the same 7.21.5 leg, so they are a different signature, not this drift.
Relaxing them would weaken live assertions for no reason.

The modern-side richness is not lost: execute.test.ts:219 still asserts the
parameter name conditionally when the code is unknown-attribute.

Verified on real CHRs, mcp.test.ts + execute.test.ts:
- 7.21.5 long-term 3/3 (was 1 pass / 1 fail, twice, including the retry)
- 7.23.3 stable 3/3 — 110 expects vs 109 on long-term, the conditional
  parameter check firing only on the modern device

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The catalog parser now accepts CRLF fixtures without changing validation behavior. Integration tests now accept both supported RouterOS validation rejection codes and document version-dependent responses.

Changes

Catalog CRLF parsing

Layer / File(s) Summary
CRLF parser support and regression coverage
scripts/explain-catalog-data.ts, test/unit/explain-catalog.test.ts
pageBody splits CRLF and LF input consistently. Tests compare parsed results and confirm malformed Type values still fail.

Version-dependent validation codes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Integration validation assertions
test/integration/execute.test.ts, test/integration/mcp.test.ts
Native API and MCP tests use VALIDATION_REJECT_CODES and document RouterOS-version-dependent rejection responses.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7899e

The PR changes are localized, but the CRLF regression test may double-convert fixtures that already use CRLF, weakening the guard; merge is reasonable with explicit follow-up to normalize fixtures to LF first.

Pull request overview

This PR aims to restore a green qa.yaml gate by fixing two independent CI failures: Windows CRLF line-ending parsing in the explain catalog frozen-page parser (#282) and version-dependent validation reject-code drift in CHR integration tests (#283).

Changes:

  • Normalize CLI-Reference page parsing to handle CRLF checkouts by splitting on \r?\n and rejoining with \n in pageBody() (#282).
  • Add CRLF regression tests to ensure LF/CRLF parsing behavior is identical and that unknown-format failures remain fail-loud (#282).
  • Update two CHR integration assertions to accept the shared VALIDATION_REJECT_CODES set instead of hard-coding validation/unknown-attribute (#283).

 review)

Both bots caught the same real defect, and it was worse than minor: on a
Windows checkout readFixture already returns CRLF, so replaceAll("\n","\r\n")
produced "\r\r\n". `/\r?\n/` consumes one \r and leaves the other on every
line, so the new regression test would have failed on the exact platform it
exists to protect — for a reason having nothing to do with the parser.

Normalize with .replace(/\r\n?/g,"\n") first, and assert the normalized copy
carries no \r so the setup cannot silently regress.

Demonstrated rather than reasoned: rewriting the three frozen fixtures as
CRLF on disk (a genuine autocrlf checkout, not a synthetic in-memory string)
fails the pre-review test 1/60 and passes 60/60 with this fix.
