Summary

Changes to the PICT model parser (TypeScript + Python):

  1. Spec-conformance fixes — align constraint & sub-model parsing with Microsoft PICT's documented syntax (pict/doc/pict.md).
  2. Comment classification — parse # comments into structured, per-field descriptions (TS only).
  3. Docs — reflect the above in the PictModel reference and the Compatible PICT tool page.

1. Spec-conformance fixes

# Issue TS Python
1 Numeric IN sets rejected — IN {512, 1024} threw Unexpected token in array (this is the value form used in PICT's own docs) ✅ fixed ✅ fixed
2 LIKE treated regex metacharacters as special — LIKE "4.8*" matched 4x8.1 because . leaked into the regex ✅ fixed already correct (re.escape)
3 Sub-model order was mandatory — { A, B } without @ N was rejected; per spec the order is optional and defaults to the global order (/o) ✅ fixed ✅ fixed
  • Numeric IN sets — the set parser now accepts NUMBER tokens (integers/floats), not just quoted strings.
  • LIKE escaping (TS) — escape every regex metacharacter, then restore only *.* and ?. as wildcards, matching PICT semantics where all other characters are literal.
  • Optional sub-model orderSubModelType.strength is optional and resolved to the global order at generation time (sub.strength ?? this.strength). A malformed order such as { A, B } @ x still produces an error.

2. Comment classification

Each maximal run of # lines becomes a CommentBlock, classified as either a field description (attached to the parameter directly below it, no blank line between) or freestanding documentation (separated by a blank line, or above a constraint / non-parameter line). classifyComments() is the single source of truth; CommentBlock and classifyComments are exported, and PictModel.comments exposes the blocks.

3. Docs

  • docs/contents/reference/pict.mdx — documented numeric IN sets, optional sub-model order (syntax table + PICT-differences section), and LIKE literal semantics.
  • docs/contents/tools/pict-online.mdx — same clarifications in the tool page's Constraints/Parameters tables.

Testing

  • TypeScript: npm test18 suites, 179 tests passing (includes pict-comments.test.ts and new numeric/float-IN and LIKE tests).
  • Python: pytest47 tests passing (numeric & float IN sets, order-less sub-models, malformed order, LIKE literal/wildcard).

Not included

  • The alias-in-constraint-literal behavior ([SKU] = "Datacenter" matching an alias rather than only the first name) is a separate spec question left for a design decision.
  • Unrelated working-tree changes (Buy Me A Coffee widget, favicons, vendored pict/ reference repo) are intentionally excluded.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Three deviations from Microsoft PICT's documented model syntax
(pict/doc/pict.md), fixed in both the TypeScript and Python ports:

1. Numeric IN sets rejected. `IN {512, 1024}` — the value form used in
   PICT's own documentation — threw "Unexpected token in array" because
   the set parser only accepted string tokens. Now numeric elements are
   accepted (TS + Python).

2. LIKE treated regex metacharacters as special (TS only). `LIKE "4.8*"`
   matched "4x8.1" because `.` was passed through to the regex verbatim.
   All metacharacters are now escaped, then only `*` and `?` are restored
   as wildcards. (Python already used re.escape and was correct.)

3. Sub-model order was mandatory. `{ A, B }` without `@ N` was rejected
   and treated as a constraint. Per spec the order is optional and, when
   omitted, defaults to the global order (/o). The order is now optional
   and resolved to the global strength at generation time.

Tests updated/added on both sides. Full suites green
(TS: 179 passing, Python: 68 passing).

Adds comment classification to the PICT parser. Each maximal run of `#`
lines becomes a CommentBlock, classified as either a field description
(attached to the parameter directly below it, no blank line between) or
freestanding documentation (separated by a blank line, or sitting above a
constraint / non-parameter line).

- `classifyComments()` in parse.ts is the single source of truth, reused
  for prompt assembly and editor syntax highlighting.
- `CommentBlock` type and `classifyComments` are exported from the package.
- `PictModel.comments` exposes the classified blocks.

Adds regression tests on both ports for the spec-conformance fixes:
- numeric and float IN sets (`IN {512, 1024}`, `IN {2.5, 3}`)
- LIKE treats non-wildcard chars (e.g. `.`) as literals
- LIKE `?`/`*` wildcard matching

- IN accepts numeric sets (e.g. IN {512, 1024}), not just strings
- Sub-model `@ N` order is optional and defaults to the global order
- Clarify LIKE treats non-wildcard characters as literals
