Fix unfenced_text Fence Matching and Dedupe Scan Lists - #902
Merged
Conversation
Review findings from PR #900 (qodo-code-review, CodeRabbit): - unfenced_text() toggled on any fence marker regardless of family or length, so a ~~~ line nested inside a ``` block, or a shorter ``` inside a longer ````, closed the wrong fence. Track the opening marker and require a same-family closing fence at least as long, per CommonMark. Added 5 regression cases. - TEMPLATE_REF_SCANNED and UNDECLARED_HEADING_SCANNED were two identical tuples that could silently drift apart; the second is now an alias of the first. - Split two over-length sentences in section-model.md and rewrote one for present tense (was 'has accumulated undetected before'). - Split three over-25-word docstring/comment sentences in audit.py.

qodo-code-review: unfenced_text() closed a fence on any line whose marker run matched character and length, even with trailing text after it (```not-a-fence). Per CommonMark a closing fence has nothing but whitespace after the marker run, so that line is content of a still-open block, not a boundary. Verified the bug against the actual code before fixing. Added 2 regression cases.

sentences of no more than 25 words each, preserving the existing CommonMark rule
and examples without changing their meaning.
- Around line 556-571: The fence parsing in the relevant audit function must
preserve each line’s original leading indentation and only allow opening or
closing fences with at most three leading spaces, while retaining the marker and

fence and verifying subsequent headings remain visible to

CodeRabbit: ln.strip() removed all leading whitespace before checking the marker, so a fence indented 4+ spaces (past CommonMark's 3-space limit) still opened or closed a block. A 4-space-indented '```' meant as ordinary indented content inside a fence could prematurely close it, exposing what followed as unfenced. Verified the bug against the actual code before fixing. Track leading-space count separately from the marker run: a fence line needs at most 3 leading spaces to count as a boundary at all, open or close. 3 regression cases added. Also split the fence-rule docstring sentence CodeRabbit flagged as over 25 words.

## Summary Follow-up to #902, addressing a finding raised on the #900 -> #901 promotion PR review (CodeRabbit). `unfenced_text()` (fixed in #902) now handles fence marker family, length, and indentation correctly, but `extract_section()` and `strip_sections()` still used the original naive toggle-on-any-marker logic. Verified independently before fixing: a `~~~` line nested inside a `` ``` `` block made both exit the fenced state early, so a following `## ` line could end the region short. This is not cosmetic for `extract_section()`: it is what the verbatim byte-for-byte section check hashes, so a nested example inside a fenced code sample could silently truncate what gets compared against the hub canonical. Extracted the corrected per-line fence logic from `unfenced_text()` into `_fence_step()`, a single pure function all three now call, so the fence-matching rule lives in exactly one place instead of three near-duplicates that can drift apart the way the first two already had. Added a regression case covering the nested-marker scenario for both functions, on top of the existing `extract_section` and `strip_sections` (via `template_ref_outside_verbatim`) coverage, which still passes unchanged. ## Verification - `python3 spec/audit.py --selftest` -> `SELFTEST PASS`, including the new nested-fence regression and the full pre-existing suite unchanged - `python3 spec/validate.py` -> `Spec validation OK` - `ruff check .` / `ruff format --check .` -> clean - `python3 scripts/prose_lint.py --diff origin/develop spec/audit.py` -> clean

## Summary Follow-up to #903, addressing a finding raised on the #900 -> #901 promotion PR review (CodeRabbit). Per CommonMark, a backtick-fenced opener's info string may not itself contain a backtick (the spec's own reasoning: otherwise inline code spans could be misread as a new fence). \`_fence_step()\` accepted an opener like `` ```md` `` regardless, so a heading right after it was hidden from the scan. Verified independently against the actual code before fixing. A tilde fence has no such restriction and is unaffected. Also split the two over-25-word docstring sentences flagged in the same review round. ## Verification - `python3 spec/audit.py --selftest` -> `SELFTEST PASS`, including 3 new regression cases and the full pre-existing suite unchanged - `python3 spec/validate.py` -> `Spec validation OK` - `ruff check .` / `ruff format --check .` -> clean - `python3 scripts/prose_lint.py --diff origin/develop spec/audit.py` -> clean ## A note on scope This is the fourth follow-up PR (#901 -> #902 -> #903 -> this one) chasing progressively deeper CommonMark fence-parsing edge cases that CodeRabbit's automated review keeps finding one round at a time against `_fence_step()`. Each one has been real and independently verified, but I want to flag the pattern rather than silently keep going: CommonMark has more edge cases than these four (unterminated fences at EOF, tab expansion in indentation, and others), and a sufficiently persistent automated reviewer may keep surfacing them. Worth a decision on where "correct enough" is for a fleet-internal audit tool versus a full CommonMark implementation.

Summary
Follow-up to #900, addressing findings raised on the #900 -> #901 promotion PR review (qodo-code-review and CodeRabbit, both advisory reviewers on this PR since CodeRabbit is only enabled against
mainas a base).unfenced_text()toggled its fenced state on any line starting with```or~~~, regardless of marker family or length. A~~~line nested inside a```block closed the wrong fence, and a shorter```inside a longer````closed a fence it should not have been able to close. Confirmed both failure modes against the actual code before fixing, and fixed per CommonMark: a fence closes only on the same marker character, at least as long as the opener.unfenced_textis a pre-existing helper several other checks (README shields/links) already depend on, so this fixes it for all of them, not just the new undeclared-heading advisory. Added 5 regression cases; the full existing selftest suite (readme shields/links) still passes unchanged.TEMPLATE_REF_SCANNEDandUNDECLARED_HEADING_SCANNEDwere two identical tuples that could silently drift apart on a future edit to one and not the other. Made the second an alias of the first.section-model.md, one of them also past-tense change-framing ("has accumulated undetected before" -> present tense), plus three over-25-word sentences in newaudit.pycomments/docstrings. Split percomment-and-doc-style.Two findings from the same review round were judged not real and declined in the PR conversation on #901 with evidence, no code change: a PR-title Title-Case false positive (the cited rule actually allows lowercase "to"), and a "docstring too internal" finding contradicted by existing precedent in the same file (
strip_sections' docstring already namesextract_section).Verification
