Position

[lonhutt]

Added methods to translate between byte offsets to positions in a given document

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added position tracking for documents, including line and range queries.
  • Added conversion between byte offsets and UTF-8 or UTF-16 line/column positions.
  • Added support for LF, CRLF, and CR line endings, Unicode characters, and end-of-file positions.
  • Inputs outside valid ranges are safely clamped.

• Quality Improvements

  • Added extensive automated testing, fuzz testing, and performance benchmarks for position handling.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a position package for line and UTF-8/UTF-16 offset conversion. It adds oracle-based tests, fuzz tests, benchmarks, a large JSONC fixture, and CI support for running all Go fuzz targets.

Changes

Position indexing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Position index implementation pkg/position/position.go	Adds Offset, Range, and LineIndex. The index supports LF, CRLF, and lone-CR lines, UTF-8 and UTF-16 conversions, inverse conversions, line ranges, and input clamping.
Oracle and conformance coverage pkg/position/oracle_test.go, pkg/position/position_test.go, pkg/position/testdata/*	Adds a reference oracle and tests for line structure, rune boundaries, UTF-8 and UTF-16 columns, round trips, clamping, invalid bytes, and the large JSONC fixture.
Position benchmarks pkg/position/bench_test.go	Adds benchmarks for index construction and UTF-16 lookup.
Fuzz targets and CI execution pkg/position/fuzz_test.go, Makefile, .github/workflows/ci.yaml	Adds FuzzLineIndex. The fuzz target discovers all fuzz tests and uses configurable time limits. CI runs fuzzing and uploads crash reproducers after failures.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 319d0

CRLF inputs can yield a position that does not map back to its source byte, while malformed UTF-8 and shared UTF-8 conversion defects can escape the new fuzz checks. These are localized fixes but should be addressed before relying on this API and validation suite.

Inline comments:
In `@pkg/position/fuzz_test.go`:
- Around line 41-44: Update FuzzLineIndex to independently compare the UTF8
result from ix.UTF8 against the oracle for each rune boundary before performing
the existing OffsetUTF8 round-trip assertion.

In `@pkg/position/oracle_test.go`:
- Around line 92-95: Update runeBoundaries to enumerate offsets by advancing
with utf8.DecodeRune rather than filtering bytes with utf8.RuneStart, so
standalone malformed bytes are treated as one-byte RuneError boundaries.
Preserve the existing boundary collection behavior for valid UTF-8 and ensure
the oracle and fuzz tests include conversion offsets reachable from malformed
input.

In `@pkg/position/position.go`:
- Line 146: The offset-to-column logic in the UTF8 and UTF16 position conversion
methods must clamp offsets that fall inside a CRLF sequence to
LineRange(line).End before computing the column. Preserve existing behavior for
other offsets and ensure the result round-trips with the inverse conversion
methods.
