-// wc — print newline, word, and byte counts for each file
-//
-// Usage: wc [OPTION]... [FILE]...
-//
-// Print newline, word, and byte counts for each FILE, and a total line
-// if more than one FILE is specified. A word is a non-zero-length sequence
-// of characters delimited by white space. With no FILE, or when FILE is -,
-// read standard input.
-//
-// When no flags are given, -l, -w, and -c are assumed (lines, words, bytes).
-//
-// Accepted flags:
-//
-//	-l, --lines
-//	    Print the newline count.
-//
-//	-w, --words
-//	    Print the word count.
-//
-//	-c, --bytes
-//	    Print the byte count.
-//
-//	-m, --chars
-//	    Print the character count. In a multibyte locale, the number of
-//	    characters may differ from the number of bytes.
-//
-//	-L, --max-line-length
-//	    Print the length of the longest line.
-//
-//	-h, --help
-//	    Print this usage message to stdout and exit 0.
-//
-// Output columns always appear in a fixed order: lines, words, chars,
-// bytes, max-line-length. Only the requested columns are shown. Column
-// widths are right-justified to the width of the largest count across
-// all files (including the total line, if any).
-//
-// Exit codes:
-//
-//	0  All files processed successfully.
-//	1  At least one error occurred (missing file, invalid argument, etc.).
-//
-// Memory safety:
-//
-//	Input is read in fixed-size chunks (32 KiB). Lines longer than
-//	MaxLineBytes (1 MiB) are split across chunks for counting purposes
-//	but never fully buffered. All loops check ctx.Err() at each
-//	iteration to honour the shell's execution timeout.

+//
+// Usage: wc [OPTION]... [FILE]...
+//
+// Print newline, word, and byte counts for each FILE, and a total line

+// of characters delimited by white space. With no FILE, or when FILE is -,
+// read standard input.
+//
+// When no flags are given, -l, -w, and -c are assumed (lines, words, bytes).
+//
+// Accepted flags:
+//
+//	-l, --lines
+//	    Print the newline count.
+//
+//	-w, --words
+//	    Print the word count.
+//
+//	-c, --bytes
+//	    Print the byte count.
+//
+//	-m, --chars
+//	    Print the character count. In a multibyte locale, the number of
+//	    characters may differ from the number of bytes.
+//
+//	-L, --max-line-length
+//	    Print the length of the longest line.
+//
+//	-h, --help
+//	    Print this usage message to stdout and exit 0.
+//
+// Output columns always appear in a fixed order: lines, words, chars,
+// bytes, max-line-length. Only the requested columns are shown. Column
+// widths are right-justified to the width of the largest count across
+// all files (including the total line, if any).
+//
+// Exit codes:
+//
+//	0  All files processed successfully.
+//	1  At least one error occurred (missing file, invalid argument, etc.).
+//
+// Memory safety:
+//
+//	Input is read in fixed-size chunks (32 KiB). Lines longer than
+//	MaxLineBytes (1 MiB) are split across chunks for counting purposes
+//	but never fully buffered. All loops check ctx.Err() at each

Subject: [PATCH 03/28] [iter 1] Fix \v and \f display width for wc -L, rename
 shadowed variable

- \v (vertical tab) now has zero display width instead of 1, matching GNU wc
- \f (form feed) now resets line position to 0 (like \r), matching GNU wc
- Renamed loop variable `r` to `ch` to avoid shadowing the `io.Reader` parameter
- Added GNU compat tests for both \v and \f cases

Subject: [PATCH 04/28] [iter 2] Fix control characters incorrectly counted as
 word characters
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

GNU wc treats control characters (C0/C1 controls, unicode Cc category)
as transparent to word counting — they neither start nor end words.
The implementation was falling through to the else branch which would
start a new word for control characters like \x01.

Added a unicode.Is(unicode.Cc, ch) check before the word-starting else
branch so control characters are skipped for word counting while still
contributing to lineLen via runeWidth (which already returns 0 for Cc).

Also updated TestGNUCompatControlCharIsWord → TestGNUCompatControlCharIsNotWord
and TestWcWordsControlChar → TestWcWordsControlCharNotWord to assert 0
words instead of 1, matching GNU wc behavior.

Subject: [PATCH 05/28] [iter 3] Fix \r/\f max preservation and stdin min width
 in wc

- Preserve maxLineLen before resetting lineLen on \r and \f, so
  wc -L correctly reports the longest segment (e.g. "abcdef\rxy\n"
  now outputs 6 instead of 2, matching GNU wc).

- Apply stdinMinWidth=7 only in default mode (all 3 columns), not
  when explicit flags are given. "printf 'a\n' | wc -l" now outputs
  "1" instead of "      1", matching GNU wc.

- Update pipe_to_wc.yaml expected output and remove skip_assert_against_bash
  (now validated against GNU bash + coreutils).

- Add asymmetric \r and \f scenario tests and GNU compat tests to
  cover the max preservation edge case.

Subject: [PATCH 07/28] [iter 1] Fix -h flag, files0_from skip, and directory
 count line
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

P1: Remove -h short flag for --help — GNU wc does not support -h.
    Running `wc -h` now correctly exits 1 with an error, matching bash.

P2: Add skip_assert_against_bash: true to files0_from_rejected.yaml.
    rshell intentionally rejects --files0-from for security (GTFOBins),
    while GNU wc accepts it — this is a deliberate divergence.

P3: Print zero count line when wc is given a directory argument.
    GNU wc prints both an error and a `0 0 0 .` count line for
    directories. Previously rshell only printed the error. Added
    platform-specific isErrIsDir helpers to detect directory errors
    and still emit the count line.

Subject: [PATCH 10/28] [iter 1] Match GNU wc error message for empty filename
 argument

GNU wc outputs "wc: invalid zero-length file name" for empty filename
arguments. Our implementation was producing "wc: : No such file or
directory" due to using os.PathError with os.ErrNotExist. Changed to
use errors.New with the correct message and handle the empty name case
in error formatting to avoid the extra colon.

Added scenario test verified against GNU bash/wc via Docker.

Subject: [PATCH 11/28] [iter 1] Remove unused os.ErrNotExist and os.PathError
 from builtinAllowedSymbols

The wc refactor in 3f233ff stopped using os.ErrNotExist and os.PathError
in builtins (replaced with errors.New for the empty filename case), causing
TestBuiltinAllowedSymbols to fail on all platforms. Remove both unused
entries from the allowlist.

Subject: [PATCH 12/28] [iter 2] Fix directory zero-count width and add \v
 word-separator tests

1. Apply minimum column width of 7 for non-regular files (directories,
   pipes) in default mode, matching GNU wc's compute_number_width logic
   which sets minimum_width=7 for any file where !S_ISREG(st_mode).
   Previously only stdin triggered the minimum width.

2. Add Go tests (TestGNUCompatVerticalTabWordsBreak,
   TestGNUCompatVerticalTabThreeWords) and a scenario test verifying
   that \v acts as a word separator for wc -w, matching GNU wc.

3. Add Go tests for directory width formatting in both default mode
   (width 7) and explicit-flag mode (width 1).

Verified against GNU wc in debian:bookworm-slim via Docker.

Subject: [PATCH 13/28] [iter 4] Fix width-7 padding for non-regular input with
 explicit multi-column flags

GNU wc applies the minimum width-7 padding for non-regular inputs (stdin,
directories) whenever two or more columns are printed, not just in default
mode. The previous code gated this on defaultMode only, which dropped
padding for explicit multi-column invocations like `wc -lw`.

Change the condition to count active columns and apply the minimum width
when numCols >= 2, matching GNU behavior verified via Docker.

Subject: [PATCH 14/28] [iter 1] Fix width-7 padding for single-column
 multi-file with non-regular input and reorder allowed symbols

- Apply GNU wc's minimum width-7 padding when multiple files are processed
  with non-regular input (directories), even with a single column flag
  (e.g. wc -l dir file). Previously the condition required numCols >= 2.
- Reorder allowed symbols list to group entries by package alphabetically
  (strings.*, strconv.*, syscall.*).
- Add scenario test for wc -l with directory + file verifying width-7 padding.

Subject: [PATCH 15/28] [iter 1] Fix CI: move skip_assert_against_bash to top
 level and remove unused allowlist symbol
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Two fixes:
- dir_single_col_width7.yaml had skip_assert_against_bash nested under
  expect: instead of at the scenario top level, so the bash comparison
  test was not skipping it. GNU wc outputs "Is a directory" (capital I)
  from strerror(EISDIR), while our shell normalizes to lowercase "is a
  directory" — this is an intentional divergence, so the skip is correct.
- Remove unicode.IsControl from builtinAllowedSymbols since no builtin
  uses it (wc uses unicode.Is(unicode.Cc, ...) instead).

Subject: [PATCH 17/28] [iter 3] Fix wc -w miscounting unassigned Unicode
 codepoints (Cn)

The fuzz differential test found that U+2FFF (an unassigned codepoint
in the Cn category) was treated as transparent to word counting, but
GNU wc counts it as a word character. Remove the special-case branch
that skipped Cn codepoints so they now fall through to the word-
counting else branch, matching GNU wc behaviour.

Also remove unicode.Co and unicode.IsGraphic from the allowed-symbols
allowlist since they are no longer referenced by any builtin.

Add fuzz corpus entry for the failing input as a regression test.

Subject: [PATCH 20/28] [iter 6] Fix wc -w counting unassigned Unicode code
 points as words

GNU wc in C.UTF-8 locale does not count non-graphic characters
(such as unassigned code points like U+89249) as word characters.
Our implementation was falling through to the word-counting else
branch for any character that wasn't a control char or space
separator. Now we check unicode.IsGraphic before counting a
character as part of a word, matching GNU wc behaviour.

Subject: [PATCH 21/28] [iter 7] Fix wc -w to count non-graphic characters as
 word constituents
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

GNU wc uses iswspace() to determine word boundaries: any character that
is not a space starts or continues a word. The previous fix using
unicode.IsGraphic() was too restrictive — it excluded unassigned code
points (Cn category, e.g. U+2FFF) from word counting, treating them as
transparent. This caused the fuzz differential test to fail because GNU
wc counts "\u2fff" as 1 word while rshell counted 0.

Replace the IsGraphic guard with a plain else branch so that all
characters not already handled (whitespace, control) are treated as
word constituents.

Subject: [PATCH 23/28] [iter 9] Fix wc -w to not count unassigned codepoints
 as words

GNU wc 8.32 gates word counting on iswprint(), which returns false
for unassigned Unicode codepoints (Cn category). Our implementation
was treating all non-whitespace, non-control characters as word
characters, including Cn codepoints. This caused the fuzz
differential test to fail for input U+89249 (an unassigned codepoint)
where GNU wc counts 0 words but rshell counted 1.

Fix: only count characters as word-eligible if they are graphic
(unicode.IsGraphic) or private-use (Co), matching glibc's iswprint()
behaviour. Non-printable characters like Cn are now transparent to
word counting (they neither start nor end words).

Subject: [PATCH 25/28] [iter 10] Fix wc -w by matching glibc iswprint()
 exactly for word boundaries
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Replace IsGraphic || Co check with glibcIswprint() that precisely
mirrors glibc's C.UTF-8 iswprint() semantics: everything is printable
(and thus a word character) EXCEPT control chars (Cc), surrogates, and
Unicode noncharacters (U+FDD0..U+FDEF, U+xFFFE/U+xFFFF). This handles
unassigned codepoints like U+2FFF correctly — glibc treats them as
printable, so they should count as words.

Subject: [PATCH 26/28] [iter 10] Fix wc -w with Unicode 15.1 supplement table
 for word boundaries

The fuzz differential test runs on Ubuntu 24.04 (glibc 2.39, Unicode 15.1)
but Go's unicode package ships Unicode 15.0. Characters assigned in
Unicode 15.1 (e.g. U+2FFC-U+2FFF Ideographic Description Characters,
U+31EF, CJK Extension I) are printable in glibc but unknown to Go's
unicode.IsGraphic, causing word count mismatches.

Replace the over-broad glibcIswprint (which treated ALL non-control,
non-noncharacter codepoints as printable -- wrong for U+89249) with
the original IsGraphic || Co check plus a targeted unicode151Print
range table covering the specific Unicode 15.1 additions. This table
can be removed once Go upgrades to Unicode 15.1+ (Go 1.27).

Subject: [PATCH 27/28] [iter 10] Add Cf (format characters) to wc -w word
 character check

The fuzz differential test found that U+06DD (ARABIC END OF AYAH, a Cf
format character) is counted as a word character by GNU wc on Ubuntu
24.04 because glibc's iswprint() in C.UTF-8 returns true for all Cf
characters. Go's unicode.IsGraphic excludes Cf, so add an explicit
unicode.Cf check to match GNU wc behaviour.
