fix(ci): the invisible-character gate never matched anything#45hyperpolymath wants to merge 8 commits into
Conversation
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.

Pull Request Overview
The PR successfully updates the invisible-character detection gate to use PCRE-compatible Unicode escapes and expands the coverage to include C0 control characters and specific invisible markers like ZWSP and BOM. Although the repository meets Codacy standards, there are no automated test scenarios or sample files included to verify that these new patterns correctly trigger a failure. A performance optimization for the file scanning command was identified to reduce process overhead in the workflow.
About this PR
- The PR does not include sample files or automated tests containing the targeted invisible characters. This makes it difficult to verify the gate's efficacy or prevent future regressions where the regex might be accidentally broken.
Test suggestions
- Verify detection of Non-Breaking Space (U+00A0)
- Verify detection of Zero-Width Space (U+200B)
- Verify detection of a C0 control character such as Backspace (\x08)
- Verify that files containing NUL bytes are correctly scanned (ensuring 'grep -a' works)
- Verify that standard whitespace (TAB, LF, CR) does not trigger the gate
- Verify detection of the Byte Order Mark (U+FEFF)
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Verify detection of Non-Breaking Space (U+00A0)
2. Verify detection of Zero-Width Space (U+200B)
3. Verify detection of a C0 control character such as Backspace (\x08)
4. Verify that files containing NUL bytes are correctly scanned (ensuring 'grep -a' works)
5. Verify that standard whitespace (TAB, LF, CR) does not trigger the gate
6. Verify detection of the Byte Order Mark (U+FEFF)

127-138: 🎯 Functional CorrectnessRestore the required leading-BOM byte check.
PATTERNSincludes U+FEFF, but this does not replace the separate byte-wise check required by Issue#70. Theempty-lintjob does not read the first three bytes (EF BB BF) and append matching paths to/tmp/empty-lint-results.txt. A file with a leading UTF-8 BOM can therefore produce no finding. Add this check beforeFINDINGSis calculated, and avoid duplicate paths when combining its output with the PCRE scan.
127-127: LGTM!

+ # NOTE: After upstream issue hyperpolymath/empty-linter#70 was fixed (commits
+ # 760e0fd, 8370bab), the generic invisible-character detection now works correctly.
+ # However, that fix did not include a dedicated leading-BOM check. This workflow

+ # 1. Generic invisible-character detection (below) — catches BOM anywhere in file
+ # 2. Explicit leading-BOM detection (further below) — specifically flags BOM at byte offset 0
+ # This separation ensures leading BOMs are reported distinctly from other invisible chars.

135-139: 🎯 Functional CorrectnessRetain the current suffix allow-list.
The list matches empty-linter’s documented dogfooding suffix set.
.py,.css,.html, and extensionless files are not part of that contract, so their exclusion is not a coverage defect.
Findings verified and addressed on a newer head; current CodeRabbit status is successful.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Include Nickel files in the scanner suffix set.
Path.suffix returns .ncl for every *.k9.ncl contract. The condition at Line 178 therefore skips the K9 files that this workflow validates elsewhere. Add .ncl to source_suffixes so the invisible-character gate also covers K9 contracts.

Nickel language syntax file header K9! Nickel parser shebang magic marker
💡 Result:
The K9! magic number and associated file header are not native to the standard Nickel configuration language itself [1][2][3], but rather belong to the K9 Self-Validating Components ecosystem [4][5], which uses Nickel as its underlying configuration and contract language [4][6]. K9! Magic Marker The string K9! (ASCII bytes 0x4B 0x39 0x21) serves as a mandatory file header or "magic number" at byte offset 0 for K9 self-validating components [7][6]. This marker identifies the file to tooling and is used for file-type detection (e.g., via the file(1) utility) [7]. Context K9 is a framework that uses Nickel files to define structured data, contracts, and executable recipes with cryptographic signatures [4][8][5]. The K9 ecosystem defines two primary file-level variants: 1. Kennel level (.k9): A YAML-like format for passive data that includes a pedigree block [4][6]. 2. Yard/Hunt level (.k9.ncl): A format using standard Nickel syntax for logic, contracts, and execution, also requiring the K9! magic header [4][6]. Standard Nickel The standard Nickel language (nickel-lang.org) does not require or define a K9! magic marker or any specific file header [1][9]. Nickel files typically use the.ncl extension [1][9]. While Unix-style scripts often use a shebang (#!), the Nickel interpreter does not strictly require a shebang, and the K9! marker functions as a proprietary file format signature rather than a traditional interpreter directive [7][6].

site:nickel-lang.org/user-manual/syntax Nickel exclamation mark ! boolean NOT operator identifiers grammar
💡 Result:
In the Nickel programming language, the exclamation mark (!) serves as the boolean NOT operator [1]. Regarding identifiers, Nickel follows a specific grammar: - An identifier must start with either an underscore () or an alphabetic character (a-z or A-Z) [1]. - Subsequent characters can include alphabetic characters, digits (0-9), underscores (), dashes (-), or single quotes (') [1]. - An identifier may contain zero or more leading underscores [1]. For example, the syntax _This-isn't_invalid is a valid Nickel identifier [1]. Boolean values are represented as true and false, and the boolean operators include && (AND), || (OR), and! (NOT), with the AND and OR operators exhibiting lazy evaluation [1].

Keep container/deploy.k9.ncl compatible with its documented Nickel command.
The file documents nickel typecheck container/deploy.k9.ncl, but K9! is not valid Nickel syntax. Nickel parses K9 as an identifier and ! as the prefix NOT operator, so the raw file can fail before contract checking. Use a Nickel comment for the marker, or strip it before invoking Nickel.

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) whilegrep -Pmatches characters. Bytesc2 a0are one character U+00A0;\xc2\xa0asks for two, U+00C2 then U+00A0 — never present.Only
\x00worked, being single-byte in both readings. The gate ran, passed, and could not see what it exists to see.Fixed
\x01-\x08,\x0B,\x0C,\x0E-\x1Fadded (TAB/LF/CR excluded)grep -a— without it grep skips any NUL-bearing file as binaryThe 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.
