test(#1980): LenientJsonParser$Parser — depth + boundary + skipWs mutant kills

Skobeltsyn · claude · Skobeltsyn · commit d1fe4379fb02 · 2026-05-17T12:06:12.000+03:00
#1980 target: drop the Parser cluster from 32 unkilled to &lt; 15.

17 new tests covering the four mutant families the existing parser tests
(LenientJsonParserTest, MutationTest, CoverageTest, DepthLimitTest,
OomGuardTest, UnterminatedTest from earlier tonight) didn't pin:

**1. skipWs removal** — parseValue:82, parseObject:119/123/127, parseArray:148.
PIT's RemoveCalls mutator drops the skipWs() calls; input with whitespace
at every interior position would break parsing if removed.
- "object with whitespace between every token" / array equivalent
- leading whitespace before object / array / nested string

**2. Boundary mutants** — parseObject:135, parseArray:156, parseString:161/180,
parseNumber:199/207, parseUnicodeEscape:187, withDepth:102, parseValue:90.
- closing-brace/bracket consume verified via sibling-after-sibling parsing
- empty string round-trip catches closing-quote consume regression
- leading minus + exponent positive/negative/no-sign asserted
- unicode escape decodes to EXACT character (not 0 — kills `replaced Character
  return with 0` mutant)
- mixed-case hex in unicode escape

**3. withDepth depth-tracking arithmetic** — withDepth:105/107/109 + inlined-
at-call-site copies surfacing as parseValue:231-241. MAX_NESTING_DEPTH=64
boundary tests:
- accepts depth = MAX-1 (63)
- accepts depth = MAX exactly (64)
- rejects depth = MAX+1 (65) via parse() catching the throw
- 100 sibling objects at depth 2 — proves depth-- decrements (else they'd
  cumulatively hit the cap)

**4. parseValue EOF after whitespace** — line 90 `if (pos &gt;= s.length) return null`.

Plus one comprehensive smoke test with realistic nested LLM-output (markdown
fence + nested object/array structure) to catch any regression across the
whole parser.

Expected PIT impact: Parser cluster 32 → low teens; combined with
synthetic-noise exclusion (~7 of the 32 are equivalent compiler-injected
Intrinsics::checkNotNullExpressionValue / InlineMarker::finallyStart/End
mutants per #889's "don't chase" list), effective unkilled ~5-8 — well
under #1980's &lt; 15 target.

+// Tests for #1980 — LenientJsonParser$Parser cluster (32 unkilled mutants).
+// Targets four mutant families the existing tests don't pin:
+//
+// 1. skipWs removal — parseValue:82, parseObject:119/123/127, parseArray:148.
+//    PIT's RemoveCalls mutator drops the skipWs() invocations; tests must use
+//    input with whitespace at every interior position so removal breaks parsing.
+//
+// 2. Conditional boundaries — parseValue:90, parseObject:135, parseArray:156,
+//    parseString:161/180, parseNumber:199/207, parseUnicodeEscape:187,
+//    withDepth:102. Each needs an exact-boundary input that flips behavior
+//    when `<` becomes `<=` (or `>` → `>=`).
+//
+// 3. withDepth integer arithmetic — withDepth:105/107/109 + the inlined-at-call-
+//    site copies surfacing as parseValue:231/233/239/241. Cover by exhaustive
+//    depth boundary tests at depth 63 / 64 / 65 (MAX_NESTING_DEPTH=64).
+//
+// 4. parseUnicodeEscape:185 — `replaced Character return with 0`. Must assert
+//    the actual decoded character, not just non-null.
