Summary

Closes #347 — implements SemVer 2.0.0 §11 prerelease precedence in scripts/lib/semver.sh:semver_compare.

Prior implementation compared only major/minor/patch. Prerelease + build metadata suffixes were treated as equivalent to their release cores, e.g. semver_compare 1.0.0-alpha 1.0.0 returned 0 when the spec demands -1.

Scope

Precedence rules now applied per SemVer 2.0.0 §11:

Rule Example
§11.3: release > prerelease at equal core 1.0.0-alpha < 1.0.0
§11.4.1: numeric identifiers compared numerically 1.0.0-beta.2 < 1.0.0-beta.11
§11.4.2: alphanumeric compared lexically (ASCII) 1.0.0-alpha < 1.0.0-beta
§11.4.3: numeric < alphanumeric 1.0.0-1 < 1.0.0-alpha
§11.4.4: shorter set is lower 1.0.0-alpha < 1.0.0-alpha.1
§10: build metadata ignored 1.0.0+build.1 == 1.0.0+build.2

Design notes

Prerelease is extracted inline from the version string rather than from semver_parse stdout. semver_parse puts either prerelease OR build-metadata on line 4 depending on which is present, so extracting inline via bash parameter expansion (${a#v}, ${a_pre%%+*}, ${a_pre#*-}) is more robust than parsing that shape at this site.

Adopter behavior for release-vs-release comparison is unchanged — the code path that dominates in normal cuts already reached the correct answer via the major/minor/patch prefix. The new logic fires only when cores are equal, which requires at least one side to carry prerelease.

Test coverage — tests/semver.bats

11 new #347 tests, total suite: 66 passing (up from 54): 11 new #347 tests + 1 §11.4.2 ASCII-collation regression guard added post-Surveyor 3704:

  1. Release > prerelease (§11.3), both directions
  2. Numeric < alphanumeric (§11.4.3), including 999 < a
  3. Numeric identifiers compared numerically (§11.4.1) — the classic 2 < 11 case
  4. Alphanumeric lex ASCII (§11.4.2)
  5. Shorter set lower (§11.4.4)
  6. Build metadata ignored (§10), with and without prerelease
  7. Identical prereleases return 0
  8. SemVer spec canonical ordering worked example, walked as a chain: 1.0.0-alpha < 1.0.0-alpha.1 < 1.0.0-alpha.beta < 1.0.0-beta < 1.0.0-beta.2 < 1.0.0-beta.11 < 1.0.0-rc.1 < 1.0.0
  9. §11.2 dominates §11.3 regression guard (2.0.0-alpha > 1.0.0)
  10. Mixed numeric/alphanumeric at differing positions
  11. Symmetry checkcompare(A,B) == -compare(B,A) broad-coverage invariant

What this PR does NOT do

  • Does NOT change semver_parse — grammar is already strict per #329.
  • Does NOT change semver_bump — bumping already drops prerelease/build (spec-correct).
  • Does NOT change semver_apply_pre_v1_policy — pre-1.0 policy is orthogonal to precedence.
  • #347 — this PR closes.
  • #329 / #344 — strict SemVer parser grammar; parent-arc landed first.
  • Surveyor bf37 forward-look observation on #344 — the surface that named this tracker.
  • #448 — post-(A) evidence set; this fix folds cleanly into the v0.30.3 auto-cut = EP-2.

Extends scripts/lib/semver.sh:semver_compare to walk prerelease
identifiers per SemVer 2.0.0 §11. Prior implementation compared
only major/minor/patch and treated all prerelease/build suffixes
as equivalent to their release cores.

Precedence rules now applied:
- §11.3: release version > prerelease version at equal core.
- §11.4.1: numeric identifiers compared numerically ("2" < "11").
- §11.4.2: alphanumeric identifiers compared lexically (ASCII).
- §11.4.3: numeric identifiers are LOWER than alphanumeric ids.
- §11.4.4: shorter set of identifiers is LOWER when common ids equal.
- §10: build metadata (`+...`) is IGNORED for precedence.

The extraction is done inline from the version string rather than
through semver_parse output because that function's stdout puts
either prerelease OR build-metadata on line 4 depending on which
is present. Inline extraction via bash parameter expansion is more
robust than reasoning about parse-output layout at this site.

Test coverage (tests/semver.bats):
- 11 new #347 tests covering each rule + spec's canonical worked
  example (1.0.0-alpha < 1.0.0-alpha.1 < ... < 1.0.0) walked as a
  chain of adjacent-pair comparisons.
- Regression guard for §11.2 dominating §11.3 (2.0.0-alpha > 1.0.0).
- Symmetry check (compare(A,B) == -compare(B,A)) as broad-coverage
  invariant.
- Total suite: 76 passing, up from 65.

Adopter behavior for release-vs-release comparison is unchanged
(the code path that dominates in normal cuts already reached the
correct answer via the major/minor/patch prefix; the new logic
fires only when core is equal, which requires at least one side
to carry prerelease).

Register-check caught chamber-name attribution ("Surveyor bf37
forward-look") in the header block of semver_compare. That's
exactly the class release-toolkit#387 prescribes against —
maintainer-discourse jargon leaking into adopter-facing code.

Rewrite drops the reviewer identifier + keeps the technical
rationale: the anchor points at the tracker (#347) + the
forward-look mechanism (#344 closing #329) without naming who
made the observation.

No behavior change — comment-only fix.

Review — PR#465 @ 20530f5 (#347 SemVer §11 prerelease precedence)

Strong, well-structured implementation of §11 with genuinely good test coverage — the canonical-worked-example chain, symmetry invariant, and §11.2-dominates-§11.3 regression guard are exactly the right edges to pin. Verified on live (cloned the PR head, ran the suite, exercised the logic directly). One must-fix: the §11.4.2 comparison is locale-dependent and produces non-ASCII order under the actual CI locale, falsifying the spec-compliance the PR exists to deliver.

🔴 Must-fix — §11.4.2 lex compare is locale-collated, not ASCII (confirmed on CI locale)

semver.sh (the else branch of the identifier loop):

# §11.4.2: both alphanumeric — lex compare.
if   [[ "$ai" < "$bi" ]]; then echo "-1"; return 0
elif [[ "$ai" > "$bi" ]]; then echo  "1"; return 0
fi

[[ "$ai" < "$bi" ]] compares using the current locale's collation, not ASCII. SemVer §11.4.2 mandates ASCII sort order. The docstring and the §11.4.2 test both explicitly claim "ASCII" — but the runner locale is de_DE.UTF-8 (LC_COLLATE=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_ALL unset), where collation diverges from ASCII on case-crossing pairs.

Confirmed repro (on the PR head, runner locale):

$ semver_compare 1.0.0-B 1.0.0-a
1                       # says B > a

ASCII: B(0x42) < a(0x61), so 1.0.0-B MUST be lower → expected -1. The function returns 1. Non-compliant with the exact rule it advertises. (Root cause is identical in shape to the octal gotcha this same function already hardens against with 10#$ai — a locale/shell default silently diverging from the intended semantics.)

Fix (verified, zero regression): pin collation to C for the comparison. A function-scoped local is enough (dynamic scope reaches the [[ < ]]):

semver_compare() {
    local a="${1:-}"
    local LC_COLLATE=C      # §11.4.2 mandates ASCII collation, not locale
    ...

Verified: with the pin, semver_compare 1.0.0-B 1.0.0-a-1; lowercase cases unchanged; full semver.bats stays 65 ok / 0 not-ok. (Note: if the environment ever sets LC_ALL, it overrides LC_COLLATElocal LC_ALL=C is the more defensive form and is safe here since the numeric path already uses locale-independent 10#. Your call which to use; both fix the defect under the current CI env.)

🟡 Should-fix — the §11.4.2 test names ASCII but never exercises it

@test "... alphanumeric identifiers compared lexically ASCII (§11.4.2)" {
    run semver_compare 1.0.0-alpha 1.0.0-beta   # both lowercase
    ...

Every §11.4.2 assertion (and the canonical chain) uses lowercase-only identifiers, where de_DE collation and ASCII happen to agree — so the suite is green while the ASCII claim is false. That's precisely the coverage gap that let the locale bug through: the test named the axis (ASCII) but didn't exercise the boundary where ASCII diverges from the default collation. Add a case-crossing assertion so the claim is actually tested and the fix is pinned:

# ASCII: uppercase sorts BEFORE lowercase (B=0x42 < a=0x61).
# This fails under a UTF-8 locale without an LC_COLLATE=C pin.
run semver_compare 1.0.0-B 1.0.0-a
[ "$output" = "-1" ]

This assertion fails on the current code and passes with the fix — it's the regression guard for the must-fix.

Nit — PR-body test count doesn't reconcile

Body says "Total suite 76 passing (up from 65)." On the head: semver.bats has 65 @test (11 new #347), all green; the full tests/*.bats is 754. Neither figure matches 76/65. Non-blocking, but worth correcting for record accuracy (I suspect a stale local count).

✓ Verified-correct (the rest of the logic holds)

  • Inline prerelease extraction — strip-build-before-check ordering is right (%%+* then *-*), and ${a_pre#*-} correctly keeps hyphens inside identifiers (e.g. alpha-1). The choice to extract inline rather than through semver_parse line-4 is sound and the PR body justifies it well.
  • §11.4.1 numeric compare uses 10#$ — octal-defensive, consistent with the #329/#344 hardening.
  • §11.4.3 (numeric < alphanumeric), §11.4.4 (shorter set lower), §11.3 (release > prerelease), §11.2 dominates — all exercised and correct on live.
  • §10 build-metadata-ignored preserved; adopter release-vs-release path unchanged (new logic fires only when cores are equal).
  • The canonical-chain, symmetry, and §11.2-regression tests are substantive (walk real adjacent pairs / flip signs) — not placebo. They'd catch a reordering bug; they just don't catch the collation one.

Fix the locale pin + add the case-crossing test and this is clean. Happy to re-verify fresh-head on push.

Surveyor 3704 finding: `[[ "$x" < "$y" ]]` collates via the current
locale. Under de_DE.UTF-8 (runner locale) or any UTF-8 locale with
dictionary collation, `B` sorts AFTER `a` — non-compliant with §11.4.2
which mandates ASCII order.

Reproduced on the PR head:
    LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8 semver_compare 1.0.0-B 1.0.0-a  →  1
Expected per ASCII (B=0x42 < a=0x61): -1.

Fix: scope `local LC_ALL=C` at the top of semver_compare. Belt-and-
suspenders form Surveyor suggested — LC_ALL wins over LC_COLLATE if
the env sets it, so pinning LC_ALL is more defensive. Numeric
comparisons already use `10#$var` (base-10 arithmetic) so LC_ALL=C
scoping doesn't disturb them.

Regression guard added (tests/semver.bats): forces the failing
locale (LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8) around the `semver_compare 1.0.0-B
1.0.0-a` call — fails without the fix, passes with it. Same shape
of test-names-the-boundary-and-exercises-it discipline the compose-
verify locale-boundary tests use.

Comment-only doc update at the top of semver_compare names the
rule + why numeric path is unaffected (already 10#-hardened).

APPROVED — PR#465 @ 9a69559 (#347 SemVer §11 prerelease precedence)

All three findings from review 3704 resolved and verified on live at fresh head. Clean §11 implementation now spec-compliant on the ASCII axis it advertises.

🔴 Must-fix resolved — §11.4.2 now ASCII, verified

local LC_ALL=C scoped at the top of semver_compare (the belt-and-suspenders form — LC_ALL wins over LC_COLLATE if the env sets it; the numeric path is already 10#-hardened so C locale doesn't disturb it). Reproduced at this head:

semver_compare 1.0.0-B 1.0.0-a  →  -1   ✓ (ASCII: B=0x42 < a=0x61)

🟡 Should-fix resolved — regression guard is genuine (mutation-proven)

The new §11.4.2 lex is ASCII, not locale-collated (regression guard) test forces LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8 around the case-crossing pair and asserts -1 — it exercises the exact boundary where locale collation diverges from ASCII. I mutation-proved it is load-bearing, not placebo: with local LC_ALL=C removed, the test fails (got 1, expected -1); restored, it passes. The test now both names the axis and exercises the boundary.

Nit resolved

Count corrected to "66 (up from 54): 11 new #347 + 1 §11.4.2 regression guard." Verified bats tests/semver.bats = 66 ok / 0 not-ok at this head.

Full re-verify

Full semver.bats green (66/0) at 9a69559; no regression from the locale pin. The rest of the §11 logic (§11.4.1 10#-numeric, §11.4.3/11.4.4/11.3/11.2, §10 build-ignored, inline extraction, adopter release-vs-release unchanged) stands as verified in 3704. Clean to merge.
