Parser and formatter changes must preserve invariants at boundaries

Summary#

String parsers, opcode decoders, and template-aware formatters tend to fail at boundaries: start/end placement, missing arguments, or partial syntax upgrades. When changing one part of the parsing contract, update every coupled matcher and index invariant together, then add focused tests for empty, trailing, and malformed inputs.

Problem#

Parsing logic often relies on implicit contracts between regexes, switch cases, cursor increments, and template delimiters; changing only one layer causes off-by-one errors, bad decoding, or accidental consumption of surrounding syntax.

Solution#

Document the cursor or tokenization invariant, update all coupled branches together, and add regression tests for no-argument specifiers, start-of-string and end-of-string embeddings, and newly supported format markers. For syntax migrations, rebase or reconcile with upstream parser/tooling changes before landing follow-up fixes.

Failure Modes#

Extending supported placeholders in comments or switch statements but not in the actual regex
Advancing an index inside one decoder branch without restoring the loop invariant
Parsing tokens that accidentally consume adjacent template newlines or suffix text
Shipping a follow-up syntax change without reconciling it with recent upstream upgrades
