Fixes #295 — third B2 fill after spans + arg.

Claims argument value bytes and leaf array-literal members on the residual left by those fills, before the operator scanner sees it.

Source is data.values.occurrences (prefix-safe, carries array interiors via parent references), not Argument.valueSpan — which is why :local a {1;2;3} yields three leaves even though lexArguments refuses the statement wholesale. Leaves only via Set<parent> so a container containing its members is not a self-overlap throw in buildTokens. Span is quotes-INCLUDED by contract; the quotes/escapes fill is a separate staging row and must not double-claim. ~1,720 bytes already held by variable-* spans are clipped to residual — same shape as arg-tokens.ts — with the overlap throw as the safety net.

Vocabulary is provisional until #264 B5: one value class (ev e9) regardless of shape/observed/schema type. The three #225 facts stay in data.values[], joined by offset. Fill order is now spans -> arg -> value -> operator, whose ordering retires the glued-dot operator residue noted in operator-tokens.ts.

Census ritual: 34.89% → 47.55% (180,826 value bytes net, 19,128 value tokens) over the 948-script pinned corpus. Operator shrinks by 176 bytes — the glued-dot paths the operator fill read as concatenation because no fill owned value bytes yet (name=router.lan, www.mikrotik.com, options=dsv.remap). Ritual is explain:token-censusexplain:token-census:readme.

Tests

  • test/unit/value-tokens.test.ts — direct scanner (leaf-only, quotes-included, residual clip, nested array leaves, out-of-bounds/opt-out) + explainCommand path (prefix-safe lexicographic seam, quotes contract, fill order, every value carries ev e9, no value in spans[], block-body value, addressability through normalized docs, mixed read/unread docs) — 28 new tests, 2842 pass / 0 fail
  • bun run lint:ci / bun run build / all three corpus/readme gates green

Checklist

  • fills on residual, buildTokens overlap throw is the safety net only
  • does not read facts to pick a class
  • id/parent treated as result-local identity, not byte offsets

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added value-token classification to explain output, improving visibility into argument values and leaf array members.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The explain pipeline now emits provisional value tokens for leaf values and array members. Token census data and tests reflect the new fill. CHR guidance now requires long-term runs and version-based contracts.

Changes

Explain value-token pipeline

Layer / File(s) Summary
Value-token generation
src/explain.ts, src/explain/value-tokens.ts
Adds the value token class and implements validated, residual-clipped leaf value spans with event e9.
Explain fill integration and validation
src/explain.ts, commands/explain/README.md, test/unit/value-tokens.test.ts, test/fixtures/explain/tokens.json
Places value filling between argument and operator filling. Tests cover clipping, ordering, arrays, normalized documents, and partition continuity. Census documentation and fixtures are updated.

CHR integration guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
CHR version contracts and required runs
.github/instructions/done-definition.instructions.md, test/AGENTS.md, test/integration/chr.ts
Requires device-output integration tests on long-term CHR and documents version-based RouterOS behavior contracts.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5fe5a

The change adds value-token filling to explanation output, but the required RouterOS integration check has no passing result in the supplied evidence, so merge should wait for that check or explicit owner acceptance. A minor documentation wording issue remains.

Future phase gaps must add fields without changing the finished example contract.

Pull request overview

Adds the B2 “value” token fill for explain --tokens, claiming leaf value-byte spans (including array-literal member leaves) from data.values.occurrences on the residual partition before operator scanning, and updates the token census/docs accordingly.

Changes:

  • Introduces src/explain/value-tokens.ts with valueSpans() to claim leaf value spans (quotes-included) on residual ranges and integrates it into explainCommand() fill order (spans → arg → value → operator).
  • Adds unit coverage for the new value fill and updates the token census fixture + commands/explain/README.md to reflect new classified bytes/tokens.
  • Expands test/integration guidance docs around device-dependent expectation contracts and long-term verification.

Third B2 fill after spans + arg. Claims argument value bytes and
leaf array-literal members on the residual left by those fills,
before the operator scanner sees it. Source is
data.values.occurrences (prefix-safe, carries array interiors via
parent references), not Argument.valueSpan — which is why
:local a {1;2;3} yields three leaves even though lexArguments
refuses the statement wholesale (a variable value).

Leaves only via Set<parent> so a container containing its members
is not a self-overlap throw in buildTokens. Span is
quotes-INCLUDED by contract; the quotes/escapes fill is a separate
staging row and must not double-claim. ~1,720 bytes already held
by variable-* spans are clipped to residual — same shape as
arg-tokens.ts — with the overlap throw as the safety net.

Vocabulary is provisional until #264 B5: one value class
(class value, ev e9) regardless of shape/observed/schema type.
The three #225 facts stay in data.values[], joined by offset.
Fill order is now spans -> arg -> value -> operator, whose
ordering retires the glued-dot operator residue noted in
operator-tokens.ts.

Census ritual: 34.89% -> 47.55% (180,826 value bytes net,
19,128 value tokens) over the 948-script pinned corpus.
Operator shrinks by 176 bytes — the glued-dot paths the operator
fill read as concatenation because no fill owned value bytes yet
(name=router.lan, www.mikrotik.com, options=dsv.remap).
Update the fixtures/README via explain:token-census ritual.

Evidence: operator shrink measured on corpus; partition invariant
holds on fixtures and corpus; overlap/clipping verified via
direct buildTokens + residual tests.

Reviewer triage — automated comments are untrusted review data, verified manually.

  • CodeRabbit (test/integration/chr.ts): phantom diff — that file was added by Device-grounded integration assertions keep landing pinned to stable, and long-term finds them days later #297 and merged to main (17671d4). The PR now rebases on main and shows only commands/…, src/explain…, test/fixtures/…, test/unit/value-tokens.test.ts; no chr.ts in the changed set. No fix is needed in this PR. The suggested split (VALIDATION_REJECT_CODES vs PARSE_REJECTED wording) is noted for a follow-up if kept outside this seam, but not in the value fill.

  • Copilot test/unit/value-tokens.test.ts:226 (variable inside value): correct — name="he$xo" has no resolved path/verb so values.occurrences is empty for an unrelated reason and the test could pass through a regressed clip path. Rewrote the test: the value-containing-$ case is documented as an abstention, and the real corpus-shaped clip (($Attach, ($FilePath . ".backup")) positional overlapping a variable-* span, 54 scripts) is now exercised directly via valueSpans(analyzed, residualWithHole, listed2) — checks [..., "a","cde"] on a residual hole.

  • Copilot test/unit/value-tokens.test.ts:233 (GTE(0)): correct — was always true. Now asserts bareOccurrences.length === 0 for comment="hi" and occurrences.length === 1 for the resolved withVerb case, plus explicit span/quoted checks.

Only PR in scope feat/explain-value-fill was updated (amended 3c96f0d0b1dff0). Sibling check on test/AGENTS.md / done-definition.instructions.md — they already carry the #297 convention; not re-touched.

Full bun run lint:ci + bun test (2842 pass / 40 skip / 0 fail) remain green.

Replies for the two still-valid Copilot inlines on this PR (CodeRabbit chr.ts is a phantom after the rebase).

  • test/unit/value-tokens.test.ts:226 — correct, the name="he$xo" shape exercises nothing: comment="hi" has no path/verb so values.occurrences is empty for a different reason and the test would pass through a regressed residual clip. Rewrote that block: the $-in-value abstention is documented as such, and the real corpus clip (($Attach, ($FilePath . ".backup")) — 54 scripts with a variable-* span overlapping a leaf value, leaf v17 vs v at 2787-2793) is now exercised directly via valueSpans(analyzed, residualWithHole, listed2) and asserts ["a","cde"] on a residual hole.

  • test/unit/value-tokens.test.ts:233 — correct, expect(listed.length).toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(0) is vacuous. Now expect(bareOccurrences.length).toBe(0) for the comment="hi" shape and expect(withVerb.values.occurrences).toHaveLength(1) plus span === [17,21] / quoted === true for the resolved withVerb case.
