The defect

packages/parser/src/entity-extractor.ts guarded its number branch with !isNaN(num). A STEP real whose exponent overflows the IEEE-754 double range parses to Infinity, and isNaN(Infinity) is false — so it passed.

Reproduced through the real parse path (parseColumnar + extractPropertiesOnDemand, the API the writers use), before the fix:

[
  { "name": "Overflow",    "type": 1, "value": Infinity,  "dataType": "IFCREAL" },
  { "name": "NegOverflow", "type": 1, "value": -Infinity, "dataType": "IFCREAL" },
  { "name": "Finite",      "type": 1, "value": 2.5,       "dataType": "IFCREAL" }
]

Raw attributes of #7=IFCCARTESIANPOINT((1.0E400,-1.0E400,0.)); came back as [Infinity, -Infinity, 0], and JSON.stringify of exactly that array is:

[[null,null,0]]

That is the corruption shape: the exported file loses the value, with no diagnostic anywhere along the way.

NaN does not reproduce — parseFloat returns NaN only for tokens the old guard already rejected. Only the infinities slipped through.

Behaviour chosen

Preserve the literal as its raw token, rather than rejecting the attribute or clamping.

parseAttributeValue already ends with return value — the raw token — for every token it cannot represent as a number (enumerations, identifiers). Testing Number.isFinite instead of !isNaN lets an overflowing literal fall through to that same branch, so 1.0E400 survives as the string "1.0E400".

  • Not reject: dropping the attribute discards data the file did contain, and a reader of the export could no longer tell an overflowing value from an absent one.
  • Not clamp: invents a number the file never stated. (DXF/USD clamp to 0 at their own write boundary, which is a different decision — a writer must emit something; a reader need not.)
  • Preserve: nothing is lost and the value is visible to a human reading the export. The reported value type moves with it (number → string) so consumers reading the type tag stay consistent.

Correction: preservation is not enough on its own

An earlier revision of this PR justified emitting no warning with "nothing is silently dropped". That was false on two paths, and this PR made them worse before fixing them. Preserving the literal as a string only helps a consumer whose value type admits a string — the property table's PropertyValue union does. Where the field is typed number, the preserved string fails the consumer's typeof x === 'number' test and it falls back to whatever default it has. Measured end-to-end through parseLite:

path before this PR after the first commit now
property table value null value "1.0E400" value "1.0E400"
quantities value null value 0worse quantity absent + warning
georeferencing eastings null eastings 0worse mapConversion absent + warning

(null in the first column is JSON.stringify rendering the in-memory Infinity.)

A null easting is detectably missing; an easting of 0 is a plausible coordinate — it silently places the model at the projection origin, and nothing downstream can tell that apart from a model that really sits there. That is a harder defect to notice, not an easier one.

Remedy chosen per path, on the principle absence must be expressible or the value must be refused:

  • QuantitiesCollectedQuantity.value is typed number and consumers do arithmetic on it, so absence cannot be expressed in the field. The quantity is dropped with a warning. This is not a new policy: the sibling QuantityExtractor.extractQuantity already returns null and warns when slot 3 is not a number, and both walk the same Quantities list, so they must agree.
  • Georeferencingeastings/northings/orthogonalHeight are typed number and feed transformMatrix, the STEP writer and the viewer's placement editor. But GeoreferenceInfo.mapConversion is optional and every consumer already reaches it as georef.mapConversion?.eastings, so the whole map conversion is refused with a warning. A caller now sees "this file has no usable georeference", which is true. The IfcProjectedCRS in the same file is still reported.

What a downstream consumer sees: an overflowing quantity is missing from its quantity set (its finite siblings are untouched); an overflowing map conversion yields mapConversion: undefined and no transformMatrix. Both emit one console.warn naming the entity and the offending literal, so neither is silent. A genuine 0.0 measure and a genuine 0 easting are unaffected — both directions are tested.

material-resolver.ts produced 0 before this PR and is unchanged, so it is out of scope here.

Both paths share one isOverflowingNumericLiteral predicate, which deliberately excludes NaN: a NaN token was already a raw string before non-finite guarding, so it is an ordinary unparseable label, not a number that overflowed.

No warning is emitted on the parseAttributeValue path itself: the literal really is right there in the output, and it is the hottest loop in the parser.

Sibling sweep (isNaN / parseFloat / parseInt / Number across packages/parser/src)

Site Verdict
entity-extractor.ts number branch defect — fixed. The reported one.
entity-extractor.ts #ref branch defect — fixed. parseInt('1'.repeat(400), 10) is Infinity, not NaN, so an isNaN guard passed it. Now resolves to null.
tokenizer.ts scanEntitiesFast express id defect — fixed. (Corrected: an earlier revision credited this to extractEntity, which was wrong — see below.) The id is accumulated as expressId*10+digit, which overflows itself; every overflowing id lands on the same Infinity, so distinct records collide on one key. Reproduced: three records, two of them overflowing, gave DISTINCT = 2 of 3. Now refused at the accumulator.
tokenizer.ts readExpressId defect — fixed. Same accumulator in the scanEntities twin.
scan-worker-inline.ts express id defect — fixed. Same accumulator in the inline worker twin.
columnar-parser-attributes.ts readRefId defect — fixed. Same accumulator on the byte-level relationship path, and the one that actually produced the half-alive record. Returns the existing -1 sentinel.
entity-extractor.ts own express id kept as defence in depth. By itself it left a half-alive record: the index entry was still created by the scan, extractPropertiesOnDemand(store, Infinity) still returned the pset, while the entity's own GlobalId/Name were unreadable. It is retained because it also covers ids arriving from a non-TypeScript scan path.
attribute-helpers.ts getNumber defect — fixed on both branches. Only the string branch was guarded at first, so getNumber(Infinity) returned Infinity and getNumber(NaN) returned NaN.
attribute-helpers.ts getReference defect — fixed on both branches. Same: the number branch returned the value untouched.
quantity-collect.ts value slot defect — fixed. Substituted 0 for the preserved literal.
georef-extractor.ts map conversion defect — fixed. getNumber(...) || 0 substituted a 0 origin.
material-resolver.ts pre-existing, unchanged. Produced 0 before this PR; out of scope.
source-bytes.ts clampRange correct as-is. Deliberate and documented: only NaN falls back to 0, infinities are clamped so decodeUtf8(2, Infinity) means "to the end".
entity-scanner.ts readNumber already correctNumber.isFinite.
schedule-extractor.ts asNumber already correctNumber.isFinite.
iso8601-duration.ts magnitude already correct — guards !Number.isFinite(magnitude) before applying the sign.
iso8601-duration.ts parseInt(expStr, 10) not reachable — the exponent comes from Number#toString's own output, bounded by ±324.
spatial-hierarchy-builder.ts extractNumber covered upstream — passes through typeof val === 'number' from entity-extractor.

Express-id decision, and performance

The half-alive state was not acceptable: a record present enough to answer a property query but unreadable as itself, plus a genuine key collision between distinct records. The id is now rejected at each digit accumulator, so no overflowing record is ever indexed. All four accumulators are guarded together — guarding one would only have moved which scan path produced the collision.

The guard is one check per entity, not per digit. Re-measured on scanEntitiesFast over a 1.81 MB synthetic file, median of 25 runs after warmup: 7.32 ms with the guard, 7.38 ms without — neutral, consistent with the earlier 52.5 / 52.4 ms measurement.

extractMapConversion moved to a new georef-map-conversion.ts so georef-extractor.ts stays under its recorded module-size budget instead of raising it — the same split the transform side already uses.

Tests

packages/parser/test/non-finite-numeric-literals.test.ts. NaN, Infinity and -Infinity are asserted separately throughout — they behave differently under the guard.

Full parser suite: 886 passed | 2 skipped across 81 files (861 before this PR's new tests).

Negative controls: 2.5 / -2.5 / 0. round-trip unchanged; 1.0E308, -1.0E308 and 1.0E-308 stay numbers (the guard rejects overflow, not magnitude); #42 still resolves to 42; readRefId('#0,') still returns 0, not the -1 sentinel; a genuine 0.0 quantity and a genuine 0 easting both survive; ordinary ids still tokenize on both scan paths; a normal element still resolves its pset. Anti-vacuity: every fixture first asserts the thing it later expects to be missing was actually produced — the finite quantity sibling, the IfcProjectedCRS alongside a refused map conversion, and parseInt(huge, 10) === Infinity before relying on it.

Mutation checks — each broke the guard, showed the specific failure, was restored by inverse edit, and diff against the pre-mutation copy was empty.

  1. isOverflowingNumericLiteral predicate inverted (||&&) — 8 failed: both quantity cases and all six map-conversion cases (Eastings/Northings/OrthogonalHeight × ±Infinity), e.g. expected { id: 7, sourceCRS: 5, …(7) } to be undefined.
  2. Both helper number branches reverted to return value6 failed: expected Infinity to be undefined, expected -Infinity to be undefined, expected NaN to be undefined, for each of getNumber and getReference.
  3. All three express-id accumulator guards disabled — 4 failed, including expected [ Infinity, Infinity, 3 ] to deeply equal [ 3 ] (the collision) and expected [ { name: 'Pset_Test', …(2) } ] to deeply equal [] (the half-alive pset).

Reverting the original number branch to !isNaN(num) still fails exactly the three infinity assertions while the NaN one passes — which is the point of splitting them.

Open question for the maintainer: patch or minor?

A reviewer raised this, since an attribute's type can change number → string in a published package's parse output. Recommendation: keep patch, with the precedent noted — but this is yours to call.

  • AGENTS.md: "Bump level = biggest API change: removing/renaming an export is major (>=1.0 pkg) or minor (0.x), never patch when the surface shrank." The rule is about the declared export surface, which does not shrink here.
  • Repo precedent leans patch for bug fixes that change observed output shape: packages/parser CHANGELOG 4.2.0 (fix(parser): extract grouped RelatingPropertyDefinition instead of dropping the relationship #2887) shipped extractPropertyRelFast returning relatingDefs: number[] instead of a single relatingDef: number as a patch; pending changesets empty-quantity-set-parity (a quantity set that used to be present is now absent) and complex-quantity-phantom-count are both patch.
  • The clearest counter-example is close to this change and worth weighing: parser 3.15.0 shipped "secondsToIso8601Duration now returns undefined for non-finite input... instead of PT0S" as a minor. If that is the governing precedent, this should be minor too.

@ifc-lite/parser is at 4.3.1, so post-1.0 semver applies. Happy to switch to minor on your word.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for extracting IFC2x3 map conversion and projected CRS information.
    • Added recognition of scaled map conversions.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented overflowing numeric values and unsafe entity IDs from entering parsed results.
    • Preserved invalid numeric literals as raw strings instead of converting them to misleading values.
    • Safely skipped invalid quantities, elevations, material thicknesses, and georeferencing data while retaining valid values.
  • Tests

    • Expanded coverage for numeric overflow handling across parsing, quantities, materials, georeferencing, and entity references.

A STEP real whose exponent overflows the IEEE-754 double range (`1.0E400`)
parses to `Infinity`, and `isNaN(Infinity)` is `false`, so the numeric guards
in `entity-extractor` and `attribute-helpers` admitted it. The value then
entered the property table and flowed to every writer, where
`JSON.stringify(Infinity)` is `null` — the exported file lost the value with
no diagnostic anywhere along the way.

Every guard now tests `Number.isFinite`:

- `parseAttributeValue`'s number branch falls through to the existing
  raw-token return, so the literal is preserved verbatim as `"1.0E400"`
  rather than dropped or clamped. Nothing the file contained is lost, and
  the `typeof x === 'number'` guards downstream now decline to use it
  instead of consuming an infinity.
- An express-id reference with enough digits to overflow (`parseInt` of 400
  digits is `Infinity`) resolves to `null`, and a record whose own id
  overflows is refused rather than keyed by `Infinity`.
- `getNumber` and `getReference` return `undefined`, matching their
  `number | undefined` contracts.

`iso8601-duration` and `entity-scanner` already guarded with
`Number.isFinite`; `source-bytes`'s `clampRange` treats infinities
deliberately and is unchanged.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0e4d6

The parser now preserves overflowing numeric literals and rejects overflowing entity IDs, but the worker path still accepts IDs that can be truncated by Uint32 storage and return the wrong entity reference. That bounded correctness risk should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Poem

A rabbit guards the numeric gate,
Overflowing tokens must now wait.
Finite values pass with care,
Unsafe IDs vanish there.
CRS paths keep what they can,
And zero stays a valid plan.

Adversarial review. Everything below was run, in an isolated worktree at head 1ae19e0ca, with the parser rebuilt (turbo run build --filter=@ifc-lite/parser). Where I mutated the source to get a RED reading I restored it by the inverse edit and proved byte-identity with diff before moving on.

What holds up

The RED reproduces, exactly as described. Reverting Number.isFinite(num) to !isNaN(num) in entity-extractor.ts and re-running the pset path:

PSET (old guard) = { "name": "Overflow", "type": 1, "value": null,   "dataType": "IFCREAL" }
PSET (this PR)   = { "name": "Overflow", "type": 0, "value": "1.0E400", "dataType": "IFCREAL" }

type moves Real -> String with the value, as claimed.

"NaN never reproduces" is correct, and I checked it rather than reasoning about it. Exhaustive over every token of length 1-4 from an alphabet of digits/signs/./eE/the letters of NaN and Infinity/whitespace/STEP punctuation (204,213 tokens), plus targeted overflow shapes:

values that OLD accepted and NEW rejects: [ Infinity, -Infinity ]
tokens where NaN passed the old guard:    0

No token exists that yields NaN and previously passed. Number.isFinite accepts a strict subset of !isNaN, and ±Infinity is the whole of the difference.

Performance is neutral — measured, not assumed. Median of 5 full extractEntity passes over apps/viewer/public/samples/infra-bridge.ifc (1.9 MB, 953 records):

this PR:    52.5 ms   (51.2, 51.3, 52.5, 53.8, 55.5)
old guard:  52.4 ms   (51.6, 51.9, 52.4, 54.8, 55.8)

Microbench over 200k realistic tokens: !isNaN 2.93 ms vs Number.isFinite 3.04 ms in one run, 3.08 vs 3.09 in the next — the two medians cross between runs. There is no cost here. The "no warning, it is the hottest loop" argument is sound on the perf side.

Parser suite green on the branch: 81 files, 861 passed | 2 skipped.

Finding 1 — two real consumers turn the preserved literal into a plausible 0, which is the clamping this PR says it rejects

The PR's stated principle is "Not clamp: invents a number the file never stated" and "nothing is silently dropped — the literal is right there in the output". That is true of the property table. It is not true of the two other consumers I ran end-to-end.

Quantities. #20=IFCQUANTITYLENGTH('Length',$,$,1.0E400,$); through parseLite + extractQuantitiesOnDemand:

old guard:  { "name": "Length", "type": 0, "value": null }   <- Infinity, visibly broken
this PR:    { "name": "Length", "type": 0, "value": 0    }   <- a measurement

packages/parser/src/quantity-collect.ts line 127: const value = typeof rawValue === 'number' ? rawValue : 0; — the interface types value: number, so the raw string has nowhere to go and lands on 0.

Georeferencing. #9=IFCMAPCONVERSION(#6,#8,1.0E400,2600000.,400.,1.,0.,1.); through extractGeoreferencingOnDemand:

old guard:  "eastings": null,  transformMatrix[12] = null
this PR:    "eastings": 0,     transformMatrix[12] = 0

packages/parser/src/georef-extractor.ts line 411: eastings: getNumber(entity.attributes[2]) || 0.

I am not claiming 0 is worse than Infinity in the abstract — but null in an exported file is visibly missing, and 0 is a number a downstream reader will use. A model whose easting silently becomes 0 is placed at the CRS origin; a Length quantity of 0 schedules as zero material. The behaviour the PR argues for ("a reader can still see 1.0E400") holds only where the consumer's type is unknown. Wherever the consumer is typed number, this PR converts visibly corrupt into plausibly wrong, and it does so without a warning — and the "no warning" argument was justified by "nothing is silently dropped", which does not hold on these two paths.

This does not mean the guard is wrong. It means the fall-through-to-string choice needs the ?: 0 sites to be dealt with in the same PR, or the PR's rationale needs to stop claiming preservation as a general property. My preference would be for quantity-collect.ts:127 and georef-extractor.ts:411 to log once, or for those two to carry undefined rather than 0 — but that is a maintainer call, and I have not made it.

Note material-resolver.ts:553 (typeof la[1] === 'number' && Number.isFinite(la[1]) && la[1] > 0 ? la[1] : 0) already reached 0 under the old code too, so layer thickness is unchanged by this PR. It is the same shape, already landed.

Finding 2 — getNumber and getReference still return non-finite numbers; the changeset says otherwise

The changeset says "getNumber returns undefined and getReference returns undefined for non-finite input". Only the string branch was guarded. Both helpers begin if (typeof value === 'number') return value;, unguarded:

getNumber(Infinity)    = Infinity
getNumber(NaN)         = NaN
getReference(Infinity) = Infinity
getReference(NaN)      = NaN
getNumber('1.0E400')   = undefined   <- the branch that was fixed

For the STEP path this is now unreachable because entity-extractor can no longer emit a non-finite number — but that makes the two fixes redundant with each other for STEP and leaves the helpers unguarded for every non-STEP producer that feeds them (ifcx, the synthetic data store, the wasm attribute path). Given the PR frames itself as the root-cause fix at the parse boundary, the number branch is the half that would actually stop a non-finite value arriving from somewhere else. Either guard it, or narrow the changeset sentence to the string branch — as written it is an overclaim about code that does not do it.

Finding 3 — the express-id collision named in the PR is not the one being fixed

The sweep table says: "entity-extractor.ts own express id — every overflowing id would collide on the same Infinity key. Record now refused."

The map key does not come from that parseInt. It comes from the tokenizer, and the tokenizer still produces Infinity and still collides. packages/parser/src/tokenizer.ts lines 151-156 accumulate expressId = expressId * 10 + (c - 0x30), which overflows to Infinity for the same input. Two distinct 400-digit ids and one ordinary one:

SCAN IDS          = [ Infinity, Infinity, 3 ]
DISTINCT SCAN IDS = 2 of 3

So after this PR the collision is intact, and what changed is that extractEntity now returns null for those records. Under the old guard it returned the entity:

old guard:  extractEntity(A) = { expressId: Infinity, type: 'IFCWALL', attributes: [...] }
this PR:    extractEntity(A) = null

The result is a record that is half-alive: the ref is still in the index under key Infinity, the relationship graph still resolves it, but its own attributes are gone. Concretely, for a wall with a 400-digit id carrying one property set:

ENTITY TABLE COUNT = 1
extractPropertiesOnDemand(store, Infinity) = [{"name":"Pset_Test", ... "value":2.5}]
extractEntity(ref)                          = null      // GlobalId, Name unreadable

Before, that wall's GlobalId and Name came back. Now they do not, while the pset still does. I am not asserting the old behaviour was better — an Infinity-keyed entity is broken either way. I am asserting the justification in the sweep table is wrong about where the key comes from, and that the fix is one-sided: refusing at extract while the index keeps colliding produces a new inconsistency rather than removing the old one. Question: was tokenizer.ts:151 considered, and is the intended end state "the tokenizer never indexes such a record at all"?

Related, and smaller: the express-id refusal is the one branch with no test. non-finite-numeric-literals.test.ts covers the number branch, the #ref branch and both helpers, but its attributesOf helper asserts expect(entity).not.toBeNull() — no fixture exercises a record whose own id overflows. Mutating that line away (if (!Number.isFinite(expressId)) return null; deleted) leaves the whole suite green: 861 passed, unchanged. That branch is currently unguarded by the tests.

Finding 4 — #ref resolution: dropped, and a consumer sees 0

Confirmed the branch behaves as documented — #111…1 resolves to null where #42 resolves to 42. What a consumer sees: georef-extractor.ts:408, sourceCRS: getReference(entity.attributes[0]) || 0, so an overflowing CRS reference becomes express id 0, i.e. "no entity", rather than dangling. That is the same || 0 shape as Finding 1 but benign here, since 0 is not a valid express id.

Question — is patch right?

An attribute that was a number can now be a string, in the parse output of a published package at 4.3.1. A consumer doing value.toFixed(2) on IFCREAL gets a TypeError where it previously got "Infinity". I lean minor, but I do not know this repo's convention for parse-behaviour changes and am asking rather than asserting.

Must not land as-is

  1. Finding 1 — either handle quantity-collect.ts:127 and georef-extractor.ts:411, or drop the "nothing is silently dropped" claim from the PR body and the entity-extractor.ts comment, because it is the sole justification given for emitting no warning.
  2. Finding 2 — the changeset sentence about getNumber/getReference describes behaviour the code does not have.
  3. Finding 3 — the sweep table's stated reason for the express-id fix is wrong, and that branch has no test.

Everything else I checked — the RED, the NaN claim, the negative controls, the perf assumption, the suite — held.

Preserving an overflowing STEP real as its raw token is only honest where the
consumer's value type admits a string. Two consumers type the field `number`,
so the preserved string failed their `typeof x === 'number'` test and they fell
back to `0` — turning a detectably missing value into an undetectably wrong
one. Measured end-to-end through `parseLite`, the previous commit moved these
two rows the wrong way:

    quantities       old: value null       new: value 0
    georeferencing   old: eastings null    new: eastings 0

A null easting is visibly absent. An easting of 0 is a coordinate.

- `IfcElementQuantity` measures outside the double range are dropped with a
  warning instead of reported as 0, matching what the sibling
  `QuantityExtractor.extractQuantity` path already did for a non-numeric value.
- An `IfcMapConversion` whose Eastings/Northings/OrthogonalHeight is outside the
  range is refused with a warning, leaving `mapConversion` and
  `transformMatrix` absent rather than placing the model at a substituted
  origin. The `IfcProjectedCRS` in the same file is still reported.

Both go through one shared `isOverflowingNumericLiteral` predicate, which
deliberately excludes NaN: a NaN token was already a raw string before
non-finite guarding, so it is an ordinary unparseable label rather than a
number that overflowed. A genuine 0.0 measure and a genuine 0 easting are
unaffected, and both directions are tested.

`getNumber` and `getReference` guarded only their string branch, so
`getNumber(Infinity)` returned `Infinity` and `getNumber(NaN)` returned `NaN` —
the changeset's claim that they "return undefined for non-finite input" was an
overclaim. Both branches are now guarded and the claim holds.

The express-id sweep entry was wrong about its own mechanism. `extractEntity`
returning null did not fix an overflowing id; it left a half-alive record —
`extractPropertiesOnDemand(store, Infinity)` still returned the pset while the
entity's own GlobalId and Name were unreadable. The overflow happens in the
digit accumulators, and all four were unguarded, so every overflowing id
collapsed onto the same Infinity and distinct records collided on one key
(`DISTINCT = 2 of 3`, reproduced). Guarded at each accumulator instead: both
`StepTokenizer` scans, the inline scan worker, and `readRefId` on the
byte-level relationship path. Re-measured: performance-neutral, 7.32 ms with
the guard vs 7.38 ms without (median of 25 runs over 1.81 MB).

`extractMapConversion` moves to `georef-map-conversion.ts` so
`georef-extractor.ts` stays under its recorded module-size budget rather than
raising it — the same split the transform side already uses.

Adversarial review findings addressed in 07fb506. The PR body is rewritten; the short version:

1. This PR was making two paths worse. Confirmed the reproduction end-to-end through parseLite:

property table   old: value null       new: value "1.0E400"   (good)
quantities       old: value null       new: value 0           (WORSE)
georeferencing   old: eastings null    new: eastings 0        (WORSE)

Preserving the literal as a string is only honest where the consumer's value type admits a string. quantity-collect.ts and georef-extractor.ts type the field number, so the preserved string failed their typeof x === 'number' test and landed on 0. A null easting is detectably missing; an easting of 0 is a plausible coordinate.

Remedies, chosen on whether absence is expressible in the consumer's type:

  • Quantitiesvalue is number and callers do arithmetic on it, so absence cannot live in the field. The quantity is dropped with a warning. Not a new policy: QuantityExtractor.extractQuantity already returns null and warns for a non-numeric slot 3, and both walk the same Quantities list.
  • GeoreferencingmapConversion is optional and every consumer already reads georef.mapConversion?.eastings, so the whole conversion is refused with a warning: mapConversion and transformMatrix absent, IfcProjectedCRS still reported.

Consumers now see a quantity missing from its set (finite siblings untouched), or "no usable georeference" — never a substituted number. Genuine 0.0 and genuine 0 easting both still round-trip.

The "nothing is silently dropped" justification was false on these two paths; it is corrected in the PR body and in the entity-extractor.ts comment, which now says explicitly that any new number-typed consumer owes the same decision. material-resolver.ts is untouched as you noted.

2. getNumber/getReference overclaim — real. Both guarded only the string branch, so getNumber(Infinity) === Infinity and getNumber(NaN) === NaN, same for getReference. Swept every branch of both: null/undefined (fine), number (was the hole — fixed), string (already fixed), fallthrough (fine). The changeset claim now holds.

3. The express-id entry was wrong about its mechanism, and you were right that the branch was untested. Reproduced DISTINCT = 2 of 3 — the tokenizer's expressId*10+digit overflows itself, and every overflowing id lands on the same Infinity, so distinct records collide on one key.

The half-alive record was worse than described: the surviving pset came from the byte-level readRefId in columnar-parser-attributes.ts, which has the same unguarded accumulator. In total four accumulators were unguarded — both StepTokenizer scans, the inline scan worker, and readRefId. Guarding one would only have moved which path produced the collision, so all four are guarded and the record is now never indexed. extractEntity's guard is kept as defence in depth for ids from a non-TS scan path.

Re-measured as you asked: 7.32 ms with the guard vs 7.38 ms without (scanEntitiesFast, 1.81 MB, median of 25 runs after warmup) — neutral, consistent with the earlier 52.5/52.4 ms figure.

Tests. 886 passed | 2 skipped (861 before). Three mutation checks, each restored by inverse edit with an empty diff:

  • predicate inverted → 8 failed (both quantity cases, all six map-conversion cases)
  • helper number branches reverted → 6 failed (NaN/Infinity/-Infinity separately, per function)
  • express-id guards disabled → 4 failed, incl. expected [ Infinity, Infinity, 3 ] to deeply equal [ 3 ] and the half-alive pset

extractMapConversion moved to georef-map-conversion.ts so georef-extractor.ts stays under its module-size budget rather than raising it.

Your call: patch or minor? I've left it patch. AGENTS.md ties the bump to the declared export surface, which doesn't shrink, and repo precedent leans patch (#2887 changed relatingDef: numberrelatingDefs: number[] as a patch). But the closest counter-example points the other way: parser 3.15.0 shipped "secondsToIso8601Duration now returns undefined for non-finite input instead of PT0S" as a minor. If that's the governing precedent this should be minor too — say the word and I'll switch it.

Second-round review at 07fb506ab. I built the package and ran everything below; the two paths that were made worse are genuinely fixed, and one third path has the same regression, unfixed.

1. Blocking: the IFC2x3 ePSet_MapConversion twin now substitutes a plausible 0 — the exact defect this PR exists to remove

extractMapConversion (native IfcMapConversion) refuses and warns. Its IFC2x3 sibling extractEPSetMapConversion in georef-extractor.ts does not:

const eastings = asNumber(values['Eastings']) ?? 0;
const northings = asNumber(values['Northings']) ?? 0;
const orthogonalHeight = asNumber(values['OrthogonalHeight']) ?? 0;

Before this PR, getNumber('1.0E400') returned Infinity, which is not nullish, so ?? 0 never fired. This PR makes getNumber return undefined for the overflow — and ?? 0 now fires. The substituted origin the PR removed from one path is introduced on the other.

Same fixture through parseLite + extractGeoreferencingOnDemand, an ePSet_MapConversion whose Eastings is IFCLENGTHMEASURE(1.0E400) with finite Northings/OrthogonalHeight:

# upstream/main (34e319c95)
MAIN-EPSET-OVERFLOW eastings = Infinity   isFinite= false
MAIN-EPSET-OVERFLOW transform = [1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,null,1200000,400,1]

# this PR (07fb506ab)
EPSET-OVERFLOW = {"id":10,...,"eastings":0,"northings":1200000,"orthogonalHeight":400}
EPSET-OVERFLOW transform = [1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,1200000,400,1]

No warning is emitted, and hasGeoreference is true with source: 'ePSetMapConversion'. This is the PR's own stated test — "a null easting is detectably missing; an easting of 0 is a plausible coordinate" — failing on the twin. It is arguably worse than the native path was, because null in the matrix at least survived as a detectable hole.

Anti-vacuity: the finite control on the same fixture shape gives eastings: 2600000, so the path really is reached.

Suggested fix: route the ePSet path through the same refusal. Note asNumber also short-circuits the guard for a value that is already a number (typeof value === 'number' ? value : getNumber(value)), so it does not inherit getNumber's new contract either.

There is a second-order effect worth deciding deliberately: if all three components overflow and no CRS name is present, if (!crsName && eastings === 0 && northings === 0 && orthogonalHeight === 0) return null now fires where it previously did not, silently dropping to the legacy IfcSite / EPSG:4326 fallback.

2. Warnings are per-occurrence, not per-file

A quantity set with 50 overflowing quantities produced 50 console.warn lines (measured with a vi.spyOn counter; 53 total warns including 3 unrelated parse warnings). On a systematically corrupt file this is unbounded output on the parse path. Worth a once-per-store cap or a counted summary. The georef warn is naturally once-per-file, so only quantity-collect is affected.

Related, and I think intended but not stated in the PR body: when every quantity in a set is dropped, the whole quantity set disappears from the result (extractQuantitiesOnDemand returned no set at all, not an empty one). That matches the pending empty-quantity-set-parity changeset, but it is a second membership change the PR text does not mention.

3. Things I attacked and found correct

The georef refusal is correctly scoped — the "one bad Scale kills the georeference" worry does not reproduce. Only the three mandatory placement slots (2/3/4) refuse. Verified with mixed-field fixtures:

BAD-SCALE      mapConversion = {...,"eastings":2600000,"northings":1200000,"orthogonalHeight":400,"xAxisAbscissa":1,"xAxisOrdinate":0}
BAD-SCALE      transformMatrix = [1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,2600000,1200000,400,1]
BAD-ABSCISSA   mapConversion = {...,"eastings":2600000,...,"xAxisOrdinate":0,"scale":1}
BAD-ABSCISSA   transformMatrix = [1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,2600000,1200000,400,1]

Both survive with a finite transform. On main a bad Scale gave scale: Infinity and poisoned the whole matrix, so this is a strict improvement.

Quantity set membership is name-keyed; a dropped entry does not shift its siblings. A bad entry between two good ones plus a fourth of a different type:

QSET = [{"name":"Qto_Test","quantities":[
  {"name":"First","type":0,"value":1.5},
  {"name":"Third","type":0,"value":3.5},
  {"name":"Fourth","type":1,"value":4.5}]}]

First/Third/Fourth keep their names, types and values. I found no consumer doing index-based or positional access into quantities.

Genuine zeros survive in both directions. ZERO-QTY = [{"name":"Qto_Test","quantities":[{"name":"ZeroLen","type":0,"value":0}]}], and a genuine 0. easting still yields a defined mapConversion with eastings: 0.

The four accumulators are the complete set inside the parser. grep -rnE "10 *\* *[a-zA-Z]|\*=? *10|0x30|- *48\b" packages/parser/src/ finds digit accumulators only at scan-worker-inline.ts:81, tokenizer.ts:156, tokenizer.ts:298, columnar-parser-attributes.ts:112 — all four guarded, no fifth.

Performance is neutral, independently re-measured. scanEntitiesFast over the real 1.89 MB apps/viewer/public/samples/infra-bridge.ifc (953 entities), median of 25 after 5 warmups, three runs each, built dist:

with guard:     2.727 / 2.741 / 3.046 ms
guard removed:  2.732 / 2.774 / 2.750 ms

Within noise. (The guard was removed by editing tokenizer.ts, rebuilding, and confirming isFinite(expressId) was absent from dist/tokenizer.js; restored by inverse edit and diff against a pre-mutation copy is empty.)

Gates. Full parser suite 886 passed | 2 skipped across 81 files, matching the PR body. node scripts/check-module-size.mjsOK (1967 files measured, 308 allowlisted, 0 new over 400); georef-extractor.ts is 523/539, so no budget was raised.

4. Question, not a finding — out-of-package accumulators

The same unguarded id = id * 10 + digit shape exists outside packages/parser:

  • packages/cli/src/commands/validate.ts:164 — an overflowing id would fail exists(id) and be reported as a dangling reference.
  • packages/export/src/reference-collector.ts:200 — pushes the overflowed id into the reference list.

Both are outside this PR's stated scope and neither looks urgent. Flagging so the sweep's boundary is a decision rather than an omission — should they be follow-ups?

Must-not-land

  1. §1, the ePSet_MapConversion substituted 0 — this PR turns a loud Infinity into a plausible zero origin on the IFC2x3 path, which is the precise regression the rest of the PR removes.

Everything else above is a suggestion or a question, not a blocker. §2 (warning cardinality) I would want addressed but would not hold the PR for.

…hs the fix armed

Making `getNumber` answer `undefined` for an overflowing literal fixed the
native `IfcMapConversion` path and armed every `?? 0` / `|| 0` downstream of
it: while the answer was `Infinity` those fallbacks were unreachable, because
`Infinity` is neither nullish nor falsy.

The reported one is the IFC2x3 twin. `extractEPSetMapConversion` did
`asNumber(values['Eastings']) ?? 0`, so a file that read back
`eastings = Infinity` on main now reads back `eastings = 0`, with
`hasGeoreference: true`, a transform matrix and no diagnostic — the exact
failure this rework removed from the entity path, reintroduced on the property
set path. It now refuses like its twin, keeps any `ePSet_ProjectedCRS`, and
warns before the caller falls through to the legacy `IfcSite` fallback.

Two more of the same shape were found by sweeping the fallbacks downstream of
the changed helpers: an `IfcSite` whose `RefElevation` overflows was reported
at the datum, and an `IfcMaterialLayer` whose `LayerThickness` overflows was
reported as 0 thick and silently vanished from its set's total.

The three optional `IfcMapConversion` components join the mandatory three in
the refusal: `computeTransformMatrix` reads an absent `Scale` as `1.0` and an
absent axis pair as no rotation, so dropping just the field substitutes the
schema default for a value the file stated.

The guard is shared and now covers a non-finite `number`, not only an
overflowing token, so a value arriving as an actual `Infinity` cannot slip past
it — `asNumber` short-circuited `getNumber` for exactly that case and no longer
does.

The ePSet reader and the material-layer reader move to their own modules;
`georef-extractor.ts` was at its module-size budget and `material-extractor.ts`
would have crossed the 400-line limit. `georef-extractor.ts` is now 383 lines,
so its allowlist row is deleted and the digests re-pinned.

This went CONFLICTING a few minutes ago, not from anything you did: it was green and I was merging the green queue when #3329 landed ahead of it.

4a606d6a  fix(export,drawing-2d): stop writing NaN/Infinity into GLB, COLLADA, KMZ and SVG (#3329)

Same subject as this PR from the other end — that one stops non-finite values being written, this one stops them being read at the parse boundary. Two halves of the same problem landing within minutes, so a textual collision was likely.

Needs a rebase onto main (now b3921ac5). Nothing here is a comment on the change itself; it was passing every gate right up to the merge.

For what it's worth, the pairing looks deliberate and worth keeping distinct: rejecting NaN/Infinity at the parser means a malformed literal never reaches the writers, and #3329 means one that somehow does cannot escape into a GLB or SVG. Belt and braces, not duplication.

The overflow guards added earlier in this PR fire only when an accumulated
id reaches Infinity, which takes ~309 digits. Doubles lose integer precision
at 2^53, so two distinct ids collide onto one value from ~16 digits:

  parseInt('100000000000000001', 10) === parseInt('100000000000000002', 10)

Both pass Number.isFinite. That is the same "two distinct records collide on
one key and one silently serves the other's data" hazard the readRefId
comment already described, at a threshold a real file can reach.

Number.isSafeInteger is a strict superset for this purpose -- it still
rejects NaN, Infinity and non-integers -- so nothing the old guard caught is
let back in. Applied to the six express-id / reference paths only:
StepTokenizer's two scans, the inline scan worker, readRefId, extractEntity's
own id parse, parseAttributeValue's '#' branch, and getReference.

The value paths keep Number.isFinite: a STEP real legitimately exceeds 2^53
and losing precision there is inherent to doubles, not a collision between
two keys. getNumber and the parseFloat branch are unchanged.

Sole conflict was ALLOWLIST_DIGESTS in scripts/check-module-size.mjs, pinned
hashes only. Resolved by re-deriving every digest from the merged tree with
'node scripts/check-module-size.mjs --update', the documented regeneration
path, rather than picking a side. Reported 7 lowered, 0 raised, 0 removed,
0 added -- no budget raise, so nothing is masked.
The merge commit's message says the digests were re-derived with
'check-module-size.mjs --update'. They were, but --update ran AFTER the
conflict resolution was staged, so neither the rewritten allowlist nor the
re-pinned ALLOWLIST_DIGESTS entered that commit. The tree CI received still
carried the pre-merge pins, and 'Check TypeScript module size ratchet'
failed on it while passing locally against the unstaged working tree.

This commit adds what that one should have carried. Still 7 lowered,
0 raised, 0 removed, 0 added.
The guard added in this PR admits any safe integer, but the inline scan
worker stored each id in a Uint32Array. 4294967297 (2^32 + 1) is a safe
integer, so it passed the guard and then wrapped to 1 -- a distinct record
silently serving entity #1's data. That is the same hazard the rest of this
PR closes, one layer further down: the guard promised to reject ids it
cannot represent, while this path quietly truncated them instead.

`ids` and the receiving `idArr` are now Float64Array, which holds every safe
integer exactly. The trim predicate moves from `count * 4` to `count * 8`
for the wider element; it still covers the other three arrays, since
"capacity > count" is the same test at either width.

offsets/lengths/lines stay Uint32Array. Those are byte positions, bounded by
file size rather than by the id space, and widening them is a separate
question.

The existing test helper read the transferred buffer as Uint32Array, which
would reinterpret the doubles as garbage (2.1e-314), so it moves to
Float64Array in the same commit. Reported by CodeRabbit; verified before
fixing -- `new Uint32Array(1)` with 4294967297 written to it reads back 1.
