What and why

This adds a JavaScript parser for scripts, the first part of running them in VectorCraft. The new crate vectorcraft-js (crates/js, Standalone, appended to the layers TABLE) reads ECMAScript 5.1 (ECMA-262 5.1) into a syntax tree. Nothing runs scripts yet, and no existing behavior changes.

• The lexer (lexer.rs, token.rs, chars.rs, number.rs) reads the source as UTF-16 code units with line and column tracking: automatic semicolon insertion, the restricted productions, the regular expression and division goals, string and numeric literals, and the Annex B octal literals and escapes outside strict mode. Identifiers start with a letter (Unicode categories Lu, Ll, Lt, Lm, Lo and Nl), $ or _, and continue with those, Mn, Mc, Nd, Pc, ZWNJ and ZWJ (section 7.6), read with unicode-general-category.
• With Options::preprocessor_lines, the lexer reads the #include, #includepath, #script, #strict, #target and #targetengine lines into Program::directives and does not act on them. The Preprocessor directives page lists both a # form and a //@ comment form, so //@include is read as well.
• The parser (parser.rs, ast.rs) is recursive descent into arenas of expressions, statements and functions with index ids and source spans. It applies the early errors of section 16: strict mode's restrictions, duplicate parameters in strict code, invalid assignment targets, break and continue without a target, return outside a function, and regular expression literals that are not valid (regexp.rs). A failure is a SyntaxError with its line and column. Labels in scope and strict parameter names are checked through hash sets, so the checks take linear time.
• Nesting is counted. Input nested deeper than Options::max_depth (200 by default, VectorCraft's own value) gives a SyntaxError ("nesting too deep") instead of exhausting the stack. Binary operators, else if chains, labels and prefix operators are read with loops, and the tree is dropped without recursion. Sources over Options::max_source_units are refused.
• Where current test262 is more lenient than ES5, the parser follows test262: repeated property names in object literals and function declarations in blocks are accepted. The parser also follows current test262 on initializers in a for-in head: for (var x = 1 in o) parses outside strict mode code and is a SyntaxError in it (ECMA-262 2017 Annex B.3.6).
• cargo xtask test262 (xtask/src/test262.rs) downloads test262 (BSD-3-Clause) at a pinned commit, checks the archive's size and SHA-256, unpacks it into the gitignored corpus/test262/, and runs crates/js/tests/test262.rs, which parses the tests under test/language that carry an es5id and no feature tag. Nothing from test262 is committed. Without the suite, the test skips.
• vectorcraft-engine takes vectorcraft-js as a dev-dependency for a test that compares its lexer with the script checker's (vectorcraft-scriptcheck), since the two Standalone crates cannot depend on each other.
• docs/target-app-parity.md has one line for the crate.

How it was tested

New tests, each failing without the change (the crate and its runner do not exist on main):

• crates/js/src/tests.rs, 46 tests, among them identifier_characters_follow_their_unicode_categories (var a² = 1; and an identifier starting with U+09BE are SyntaxErrors; Bengali and Tamil identifiers with a virama parse), long_label_chains_and_parameter_lists_are_checked_in_linear_time (200,000 chained labels, 200,000 labeled break statements inside them, and a strict function with 200,000 parameters), restricted_productions_end_at_a_line_break, semicolons_are_inserted_at_line_breaks_braces_and_the_end, slash_divides_after_a_value_and_starts_a_regexp_elsewhere, strict_mode_early_errors, a_function_made_strict_by_its_own_prologue_checks_its_name_and_parameters, invalid_assignment_targets, break_and_continue_need_a_target, preprocessor_lines_are_read_as_directives, errors_carry_line_and_column, deep_nesting_gives_a_syntax_error_not_a_stack_overflow (100,000 levels of parentheses, arrays, objects, blocks, functions, calls and more), nesting_to_the_default_limit_fits_a_small_stack, and the proptests arbitrary_text_never_panics, arbitrary_utf16_never_panics and arbitrary_fragments_never_panic. Breaking the line-break check on return, the strict function check, the strict for-in initializer check and the depth limit made restricted_productions_end_at_a_line_break, the two strict-mode tests, strict_mode_early_errors and the deep-nesting test fail; they pass with the code restored. Classifying identifier characters with char::is_alphabetic and char::is_alphanumeric made identifier_characters_follow_their_unicode_categories fail.
• crates/js/src/number.rs: numbers_print_as_section_9_8_1_lays_them_out.
• crates/js/tests/test262.rs: es5_parse_subset.
• crates/engine/tests/it/js_lexer_vs_scriptcheck.rs: both_lexers_count_the_same_lines_and_read_the_same_directives, both_lexers_find_the_same_unclosed_token_on_the_same_line and the_parser_reads_a_regexp_wherever_the_checker_does.

Focused checks on the final tree (ea319ebcda), on Windows 11 (x86-64) with rustc 1.99, based on main at ff9deee46d1:

• cargo fmt --all -- --check
• cargo clippy -p vectorcraft-js --all-targets -- -D warnings
• cargo test -p vectorcraft-js: 47 library tests passed, and es5_parse_subset passed.
• cargo xtask test262: of the ES5 subset's 3,099 tests (2,664 that must parse, 435 that must give a SyntaxError), 5,411 runs passed and 7 failed; the 7 are future-reserved-word tests that use let and const. Of the 2,693 other tests without a feature tag, 3,028 runs passed and 1,855 failed on syntax or early errors from later editions. The runner reads only test/language, so test262's for-in initializer tests under test/annexB are outside these counts; strict_mode_early_errors covers the strict case.
• cargo test -p vectorcraft-engine --test it js_lexer: js_lexer_vs_scriptcheck's 3 passed.
• cargo xtask brands, layers (29 crates) and assets (334 files).
• cargo xtask ci passed in this pull request's CI run on ea319ebcda: https://github.com/storytold/vectorcraft/actions/runs/42419377180/job/128544294113

On 6bb3d3dfbe1, the commit before the identifier and label changes: cargo clippy -p xtask -p vectorcraft-engine --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test -p vectorcraft-engine --lib: 4,417 passed, 2 ignored; --test it: 189 passed; the other non-fuzz test targets (affinity_artboards, affinity_corpus, affinity_text, color_settings, command_sweep, font_folder, open_relative_path, open_type_plans, plugin_export, removed_font): 63 passed; cargo xtask wasm (24 crates, vectorcraft-js included). cargo xtask ci passed in this pull request's CI run on 6bb3d3dfbe: https://github.com/storytold/vectorcraft/actions/runs/42404860782/job/128500259278

Checklist

• cargo xtask ci passes (fmt, clippy, tests, assets, brands, layers, wasm).
• No panics in shipped code: no unwrap(), expect(), panic!, unreachable!, todo! or
  unimplemented! outside tests, and no unchecked indexing on data from files, parameters or
  messages. Errors are returned as Result and shown to the user
  (why and how).
• Clean-room: nothing copied from Adobe products or GPL/AGPL code (AGENTS.md).
• Every new asset has a row in ASSETS.md.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: a new vectorcraft-js crate that parses ES5 scripts into a syntax tree. It also names the cargo xtask test262 runner that the PR adds. The title is concise and matches the raw summary, the PR description, and the objectives. The title is 98 characters, which is long, but it stays on topic.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It has the sections 'What and why', 'How it was tested', and 'Checklist'. The 'What and why' section explains the new vectorcraft-js crate, its ECMAScript 5.1 parsing scope, the preprocessor directive handling, the parser and early-error behavior, the nesting and source-size limits, and the cargo xtask test262 runner. The 'How it was tested' section lists new tests, the commands run on Windows 11 with their results, the test262 counts, and CI links for two commits. All four checklist items are marked as checked, and the checklist keeps the template wording. The description is complete and specific. Two items are not fully verified in the text: the Checklist claims are asserted, and the template's 'Every new asset has a row in ASSETS.md' item is checked without naming any asset row, which is acceptable because the PR adds no assets per the summaries.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 52.29% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 153 functions across 16 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Make the regular-expression comparison detect checker misclassification.

If the checker reads r = /x/; as division, the assertion still passes: it checks for lexical problems, not checker regular-expression tokens. Add a fixture such as r = /'/; to VALID. If the checker reads its slashes as division, the quote starts an unterminated string and the existing assertion detects the disagreement. This makes the test exercise the claimed lexer comparison.

The test panics on a non-readable file instead of reporting a clear error.

std::fs::read(path).unwrap() panics without the path in the message. Add the path so a broken checkout is easy to diagnose.

Proposed fix

-        let source = String::from_utf8_lossy(&std::fs::read(path).unwrap()).into_owned();
+        let bytes = std::fs::read(path).unwrap_or_else(|e| panic!("read {}: {e}", path.display()));
