Problem and value

artifact/finite-svg fails a spec whose coordinates are all finite when a component tag contains the literal text NaN or Infinity (#372). The checker ran a bare regex over the entire <svg> block, so authored prose in data-node-tag, the node <title>, and the tag <text> matched the same tokens meant to catch non-finite coordinates. The diagnostic also carried evidence.details: [], giving no pointer to a cause.

The fix keeps the guard but scopes it to numeric/geometry attribute values (x, y, d, points, transform, viewBox, font-size, stroke-width, …) and reports the offending element and attribute in details, e.g. rect x="NaN".

Fixes #372

Stability impact

  • Impact class and changed behavior/shared callers: Local behavior — one check inside scripts/check-render-output.mjs, consumed by validate, deliver, and check. No renderer or schema change.
  • Existing behavior preserved / intended compatibility changes / failure behavior: A non-finite value in any numeric attribute still fails finite_svg with a non-zero exit; the check now also names the attribute. Prose (text nodes, <title>, aria-*, data-*) no longer triggers it. Intended compatibility change: specs that previously failed only because a label mentioned NaN/Infinity now pass.
  • No unrelated changes: confirmed. The only other diff is the regenerated archify.zip.

Tests run

Base 1072200 (current main), candidate is this branch head.

  • node --test test/render-output-checks.test.mjs — 26 pass, 0 fail. Two new tests: one asserts prose mentioning NaN/Infinity passes finite_svg, the other asserts x="NaN", d="… undefined …", y="Infinity" fail with the attribute named in details. Both fail on base.
  • npm test from archify/ — 1084 tests, 1047 pass, 0 fail, 37 skipped (Chrome-gated browser tests).
  • Reproduction from the issue: node bin/archify.mjs validate architecture repro.json --quality showcase --json exits 1 with artifact/finite-svg on base; passes on the candidate with tag: "returns a NaN leaf" and with tag: "Infinity".

Visual evidence

Not applicable — the change is in a validation check on the serialised SVG; no rendered geometry or Viewer output changes.

Generated artifacts

  • archify.zip regenerated with scripts/build-zip.sh on Node 22.21.1. Rebuilding from unmodified main on the same machine reproduced the committed bytes exactly, so the diff contains only this change (the packaged scripts/check-render-output.mjs).
  • Gallery, guide, start, and README showcase are unchanged: their inputs (examples, Viewer, Skill instructions) are untouched.

📝 Summary

Summary

Reviewed base e59c633 and head 7935d41. artifact/finite-svg now scans only numeric or geometry SVG attributes. Prose containing NaN, Infinity, or undefined no longer causes false positives. Non-finite attributes still fail and identify the element and attribute.

Compatibility impact

Existing non-finite-value failures remain. Prose-only specifications now pass.

Validation

Author-reported validation includes focused tests for both behaviors. Evidence from issue #372 was reused at its original revision. No CI results were observed at the checked head. Browser or perceptual acceptance is not established.

Walkthrough

The finite_svg check now scans parsed SVG numeric attributes for NaN, undefined, and Infinity. It ignores these tokens in prose and reports offending attributes. Tests cover both behaviors.

Full details: Validation Evidence

Explanation

Required final-head evidence is incomplete. The reviewed head is 7935d41, with base 6db72a9. CI run 682 for this head is still in progress; the webm-artifact job remains pending. The test and package-smoke jobs, zip-freshness job, and Node 18/20/22/24 jobs reported success. The archive also contains the exact final-head checker source. However, the PR description reports 26 focused-test passes and two new tests, while the final-head file has 30 test declarations versus 24 at base and adds six tests. This makes the reported local results stale or unverifiable for the reviewed head. The description correctly marks the visual section as not applicable for this non-visual change. Discussion also requests regressions for encoded character references, comments/CDATA, and foreignObject context; no such cases are present in the final focused test file.

Resolution

Complete CI run 682 and record its final conclusion. Rerun node --test test/render-output-checks.test.mjs and npm test from archify/ on head 7935d41, then update the PR evidence with the exact final counts. Add or explicitly justify focused regressions for the three discussion cases before treating behavioral coverage as complete.

Skip comments and CDATA when scanning SVG tags.

collectNonFiniteAttrs applies SVG_START_TAG to the raw SVG text. A comment or CDATA section containing &lt;rect x="NaN"/&gt; therefore matches as an element, and finite_svg rejects valid SVG output. Exclude non-element regions before tag matching and add regressions for both forms.

Decode character references before finite-value matching.

check-render-output.mjs reads raw artifact text, so attrEntries returns &#78;aN and NON_FINITE_TOKEN does not match it. HTML parsing resolves this attribute value to the invalid numeric token NaN; per-character references can produce Infinity in the same way. Decode values locally in collectNonFiniteAttrs before matching. Keep attrEntries and parseAttrs unchanged because other geometry and metadata checks use their raw values. Add regressions for encoded NaN and Infinity.

Track foreignObject context in collectNonFiniteAttrs.

checkHtml places its SVG body inside the exact <svg> block passed to collectNonFiniteAttrs. The scanner then applies global NUMERIC_ATTRS rules to every start tag, so <foreignObject><div x="NaN"></div></foreignObject> reports div x="NaN" and rejects the document. In the HTML/XHTML namespace, div has no SVG geometry semantics for x. Track namespace/context, skip HTML/XHTML descendants, and add this compatibility regression while preserving numeric checks for SVG elements.
