Measured 2026-08-27: this gate caught 0 of 6 invisible-character test cases. It has never detected an NBSP, zero-width space, BOM, soft hyphen, bidi override or word joiner.

Root cause

The pattern used UTF-8 byte sequences (\xc2\xa0) while grep -P matches characters. Bytes c2 a0 are one character U+00A0; \xc2\xa0 asks for two, U+00C2 then U+00A0 — never present.

grep -P '\xc2\xa0'  ->  miss
grep -P '\x{a0}'    ->  MATCH

Only \x00 worked, being single-byte in both readings. The gate ran, passed, and could not see what it exists to see.

Fixed

  • codepoint escapes in place of byte sequences
  • C0 controls \x01-\x08,\x0B,\x0C,\x0E-\x1F added (TAB/LF/CR excluded)
  • grep -a — without it grep skips any NUL-bearing file as binary

The C0 range matters: a stray backspace byte made a workflow unparseable in developer-ecosystem, so it never ran — and this linter called it clean.

Canonical fix: hyperpolymath/empty-linter#70. 1 file(s) here.

Verified: YAML re-parsed, and the corrected pattern was confirmed to catch a real NBSP before the change was kept.

MEASURED 2026-08-27: this gate's pattern caught 0 OF 6 invisible-character test
cases. It has never detected an NBSP, zero-width space, BOM, soft hyphen, bidi
override or word joiner.

ROOT CAUSE: the pattern used UTF-8 BYTE sequences (\xc2\xa0) while grep -P
matches CHARACTERS. Bytes c2 a0 are ONE character U+00A0; \xc2\xa0 asks for TWO
characters, U+00C2 then U+00A0, which is never present.

  grep -P '\xc2\xa0'  ->  miss
  grep -P '\x{a0}'    ->  MATCH

Only \x00 worked, being single-byte in both readings.

FIXED: codepoint escapes; C0 control characters \x01-\x08,\x0B,\x0C,\x0E-\x1F
added (TAB/LF/CR excluded); and grep -a, without which grep skips any NUL-bearing
file as binary.

The C0 range matters: a stray BACKSPACE byte made a workflow unparseable in
developer-ecosystem, so it never ran, and this linter called it clean.

Canonical fix: hyperpolymath/empty-linter#70. 1 file(s) here.
VERIFIED: YAML re-parsed, and the corrected pattern was confirmed to catch a real
NBSP before the change was kept.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved detection of empty, invisible, and invalid characters across Unicode text.
    • Added more reliable handling of source files containing binary or malformed UTF-8 content.
    • Improved scan reporting with clearer warnings and errors for problematic files.
    • Ensured validation failures are reported consistently when issues are detected.

Walkthrough

The workflow replaces the shell-based invisible-character scan with an embedded Python scanner. The workflow now records scanner errors and fails the job when file reads or UTF-8 decoding fail.

Changes

Invisible-character gate

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scanner and failure reporting
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
The Python scanner walks eligible source files, skips symlinks and excluded directories, detects BOMs, C0 controls, invalid UTF-8, and invisible Unicode code points, and writes findings and status outputs. The summary step fails the job when exit_code is non-zero.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9e014

The workflow's scanner still omits Lean files, so invisible characters in tracked Lean sources can pass the gate undetected. This creates a bounded CI correctness gap that should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Poem

A rabbit scans each source-file trail,
It marks hidden signs that once could fail.
Invalid bytes raise a clear alarm,
Clean paths pass without harm.
The gate reports what it can see.

Explanation

The workflow now addresses the main gate failure and detects the required invisible characters. However, the provided changes do not include the linked issue's required updates to stdlib/ByteDetector.affine and config.ncl, and they do not update the other inlined workflow copies described in the issue.

Resolution

Add the matching C0-control range to stdlib/ByteDetector.affine and config.ncl. Update the remaining affected workflow copies, or explicitly narrow the linked issue scope if those changes belong to separate pull requests. Verify detection of BOM, NBSP, zero-width space, soft hyphen, bidi override, word joiner, NUL, and C0 controls while preserving TAB, LF, and CR handling.

Pull Request Overview

The PR fixes a non-functional CI gate for invisible characters by using Unicode codepoint escapes and ensuring binary file support. While the intent is correct, the implementation contains a critical logic flaw: grep -P requires the (*UTF) prefix to handle Unicode codepoints above 0xFF. Without this, the command may fail silently due to stderr redirection, resulting in false positives where the CI passes despite the presence of invalid characters.

Additionally, none of the required test scenarios (NBSP, Zero-Width Space, C0 controls, or NUL byte processing) are currently verified by automated tests in this change.

Test suggestions

  • Detection of Non-Breaking Space (U+00A0)
  • Detection of Zero-Width Space (U+200B)
  • Detection of C0 control characters (e.g., Backspace \x08)
  • Processing of files containing NUL bytes (\x00) using the -a flag
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Detection of Non-Breaking Space (U+00A0)
2. Detection of Zero-Width Space (U+200B)
3. Detection of C0 control characters (e.g., Backspace \x08)
4. Processing of files containing NUL bytes (\x00) using the -a flag
