From 93d53f164a0270e49a49a03ad7544c02ab487173 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: tobjend Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2026 15:57:27 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] fix: byte/char offset mismatch in tree-sitter text extraction MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Root cause: parser.parse(code.encode()) returns byte offsets, but code[node.start_byte:node.end_byte] indexed into a Python string (character offsets). Non-ASCII chars caused cumulative drift → truncated symbols. Fix: store code_bytes = code.encode(), index into that, decode only final text. Impact: - Zod: 653 truncated symbols → 0 - RAGSAK: 653 truncated symbols → 0 - RAGSAK grammars: 8 → 27 (3.4×) - FastAPI grammars: 33 → 111 (3.4×) - Malformed: 6 → 2 (RAGSAK), 0 (FastAPI/Flask) Also removed sanitize_symbol() (dead code after fix) and call_only parameter. --- bex/tag_preprocessor/analyze.py | 7 +-- bex/tag_preprocessor/code.py | 81 +++++++-------------------------- experiments/EXPERIMENT_LOG.md | 69 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 87 insertions(+), 70 deletions(-) diff --git a/bex/tag_preprocessor/analyze.py b/bex/tag_preprocessor/analyze.py index 0326896..0c12744 100644 --- a/bex/tag_preprocessor/analyze.py +++ b/bex/tag_preprocessor/analyze.py @@ -220,17 +220,12 @@ def frequency_filter(sequences, min_coverage=0.2): return filtered -_CALL_ONLY_EXTS = {".ts", ".tsx", ".js", ".jsx", ".mts", ".mjs"} - - def _preprocess_file(fp): """Preprocess one file.
