Core.String Specification
Purpose
Core.String is the standard prelude-bound hub for string manipulation, character classification, and UTF-8 encoding primitives.
Requirements
Requirement: Core string operations: Decision [D-CORE-PRIM-0130]
The Beskid standard SHALL enforce the following migrated contract section. Accepted ADR decisions are binding; uppercase requirement keywords retain their BCP-14 meaning.
The
@tier(standard)Core.String hub SHALL provideLen,IsEmpty,Concat,Contains,StartsWith,EndsWith,IndexOf,LastIndexOf,Substring,Replace,Split,Trim,TrimStart,TrimEnd,ToLower, andToUpper; case conversion MUST be ASCII-only.
Stable ID: BSP-REQ-0000000000000130
Scenario: Conformance exercises Decision
- GIVEN an implementation claims conformance with this capability
- WHEN behavior governed by this contract section is exercised
- THEN every MUST, SHALL, REQUIRED, prohibition, and accepted decision in the section is satisfied
Requirement: Character classification: Decision [D-CORE-PRIM-0131]
The Beskid standard SHALL enforce the following migrated contract section. Accepted ADR decisions are binding; uppercase requirement keywords retain their BCP-14 meaning.
Core.String.CharsSHALL exposeIsDigit,IsLetter,IsWhitespace,IsUpper,IsLower, andIsAlphaNumericpredicates with boolean results for individual characters.
Stable ID: BSP-REQ-0000000000000131
Scenario: Conformance exercises Decision
- GIVEN an implementation claims conformance with this capability
- WHEN behavior governed by this contract section is exercised
- THEN every MUST, SHALL, REQUIRED, prohibition, and accepted decision in the section is satisfied
Requirement: UTF-8 encoding primitives: Decision [D-CORE-PRIM-0132]
The Beskid standard SHALL enforce the following migrated contract section. Accepted ADR decisions are binding; uppercase requirement keywords retain their BCP-14 meaning.
Core.String.Utf8SHALL provideDecodeRunereturning{rune:i64, width:i64},EncodeRune(i64) -> string, andIsValid(string) -> bool; malformed UTF-8 MUST be reported by the validity contract rather than silently accepted.
Stable ID: BSP-REQ-0000000000000132
Scenario: Conformance exercises Decision
- GIVEN an implementation claims conformance with this capability
- WHEN behavior governed by this contract section is exercised
- THEN every MUST, SHALL, REQUIRED, prohibition, and accepted decision in the section is satisfied
