Subject: [PATCH 001/193] HTML API docs experiment: plan contract and markdown
 renderer.

Scaffolding for the autonomous documentation-improvement loop:
- PLAN.md records the full agreed design (corpus, scoring, isolation,
  harness, round flow, revert and stopping rules).
- render-docs-markdown.py deterministically renders phpdoc-parser JSON
  to agent-readable markdown, excluding implementation leakage.

+# HTML API Autonomous Documentation Improvement
+
+Improve the documentation of `WP_HTML_Tag_Processor` and `WP_HTML_Processor`
+(docblocks in the two class files) by iteratively measuring how well weaker
+models can complete real HTML API tasks using *only* the rendered
+documentation, then editing the docs to fix observed failure modes.
+
+## Pipeline (per round)
+
+1. Regenerate parsed-doc JSON (script lives in the phpdoc-parser checkout;
+   must be invoked by absolute path):
+
+   ```sh
+   php /Users/jonsurrell/a8c/phpdoc-parser/generate-json-manually.php \
+     -d src/wp-includes/html-api/class-wp-html-tag-processor.php \
+     -o artifacts/html-tag-processor.json
+   php /Users/jonsurrell/a8c/phpdoc-parser/generate-json-manually.php \
+     -d src/wp-includes/html-api/class-wp-html-processor.php \
+     -o artifacts/html-processor.json
+   ```
+
+   (Harmless P2P_Autoload deprecation warnings are expected on stderr.)
+
+2. Render deterministic markdown from the JSON:
+
+   ```sh
+   python3 doc-experiment/render-docs-markdown.py -i artifacts/html-tag-processor.json -o <scratch>/html-tag-processor.md
+   python3 doc-experiment/render-docs-markdown.py -i artifacts/html-processor.json     -o <scratch>/html-processor.md
+   ```
+
+   The renderer fails loudly on unknown HTML tags (schema drift guard) and is
+   byte-deterministic. It excludes line numbers and `uses` arrays
+   (implementation leakage).
+
+3. Copy ONLY the two markdown files into a fresh scratch directory outside the
+   repo (e.g. `/tmp/html-api-docs-eval/round-NN/`). Test subagents are given
+   those two absolute paths and never learn the repo location.
+
+4. Run the train set: 12 tasks × 3 independent test-subagent trials
+   (Sonnet initially; Haiku after the Sonnet plateau). One fresh subagent per
+   task-trial, run in parallel. Test subagents get Read + Grep only, the task
+   prompt, and the two markdown paths. They MUST NOT access any other
+   information source or execute code. Their deliverable: PHP code +
+   explanation + self-reported confidence. Spot-check transcripts for
+   isolation violations each round.
+
+5. Execute every trial's code in the standalone harness against the task's
+   hidden test cases (deterministic pass/fail per case, recorded before
+   judging).
+
+6. Judge: one Opus judge per task sees the task spec, reference
+   implementation, hidden-test execution results for all 3 trials, the
+   markdown docs the subagents saw, and full source access. It scores each
+   trial and writes a failure analysis: which doc gap or misleading passage
+   caused each failure.
+
+7. Analyze failures, form doc-edit hypotheses, edit docblocks, commit
+   (one commit per hypothesis), regenerate, next round.
+
+## Scoring
+
+- Per-trial: 70% functional correctness (fraction of hidden test cases
+  passed) + 30% API adherence rubric (no hallucinated methods, correct
+  processor choice, idiomatic handling of malformed HTML, no
+  `_doing_it_wrong` triggers).
+- Task score = mean of 3 trials; round score = mean over 12 train tasks.
+  Scale 0–100.
+- Revert rule: revert a hypothesis commit if the next round's score drops
+  more than 2 points, or a previously passing task regresses across all
+  trials. Neutral edits that are qualitatively sound are kept.
+
+## Corpus
+
+16 tasks total: 12 train + 4 held-out, mixed difficulty (≈4 basic / 4
+intermediate / 4 advanced in the train set). Held-out tasks are scored only
+at checkpoints (every 3rd round and at the end) and never drive doc edits —
+they detect doc edits that game the train set.
+
+Sources of task patterns: dmsnell's gists (HTML serialization builder,
+streaming html-grep, semantic truncation) adapted to the *current* API on
+this branch — the gists use experimental methods that don't exist here —
+plus basic patterns: locate a tag and add a class, read/set attributes,
+extract element text, build a fragment and set properties. Most tasks do not
+name which processor class to use; choosing correctly is part of what the
+docs must teach. Every task ships: prompt, function signature, reference
+implementation, hidden test cases. All references must pass their hidden
+tests in the harness before round 0.
+
+The corpus and reference implementations are reviewed by Jon before round 0.
+
+## Execution harness
+
+Standalone PHP CLI harness (no WordPress boot, no DB): requires the html-api
+source files directly plus small shims — real `utf8.php`, copied
+`wp_kses_uri_attributes()`, identity `__()`, recording `_doing_it_wrong()`
+(its triggering is an adherence signal), minimal `esc_url()`. Candidate and
+reference both run under the same harness so shim divergence cancels out.
+Tasks are authored to avoid `esc_url`-sensitive expectations.
+
+## Round flow & stopping
+
+- Round 0 scores the unmodified docs (baseline/control) after corpus
+  approval.
+- Docs-only guard each round: PHP token stream with comments stripped must
+  be identical before/after edits; `php -l` passes; `@since` tags untouched;
+  no fabricated changelog entries. Free restructuring of docblock content is
+  otherwise allowed (file-, class-, property-, method-level, both files).
+- Docs are free-form: optimized purely for scores, not for WP documentation
+  standards (upstreaming is a later, separate concern).
+- Switch Sonnet → Haiku when the Sonnet train score is ≥90 for 2 consecutive
+  rounds (re-baseline with Haiku before further edits).
+- Stop when 2 consecutive Haiku rounds show no significant gain, or on
+  Jon's interrupt.
+
+## Repo layout
+
+- `doc-experiment/PLAN.md` — this contract; update it when the design
+  changes.
+- `doc-experiment/render-docs-markdown.py` — JSON→markdown renderer.
+- `doc-experiment/corpus/` — task specs, reference implementations, hidden
+  test cases (never exposed to test subagents).
+- `doc-experiment/harness/` — standalone PHP execution harness.
+- `doc-experiment/results/round-NN/` — scores, per-task judge analyses.
+- `doc-experiment/LOG.md` — running hypothesis → outcome narrative.
+- `artifacts/` — generated JSON (gitignored; regenerated every round).
+
+## Autonomy
+
+After corpus approval the loop runs autonomously round-to-round. After each
+round a summary is posted (scores, deltas, hypotheses, commits) for
+asynchronous review; held-out checkpoints every 3rd round gate continuation.

+# Doc-improvement experiment
+
+## `render-docs-markdown.py`
+
+Deterministic JSON-to-Markdown renderer for phpdoc-parser output. Converts a
+parsed PHP class (description, properties, methods, docblock tags) into a single
+Markdown file optimized for an LLM agent reading the docs to write code against
+the API.
+
+### Usage
+
+```sh
+python3 render-docs-markdown.py -i input.json -o output.md
+```
+
+- `-i/--input` — phpdoc-parser JSON (array of file objects, each with `classes`).
+- `-o/--output` — Markdown file to write (UTF-8, LF line endings).
+
+Standard library only; no dependencies. Python 3.
+
+### Output structure
+
+1. `# H1` class name + file-level description / long description.
+2. `## Overview` — class doc, plus extends / implements / final / abstract.
+3. `## Method Index` — navigation table (method, visibility, one-line description), source order.
+4. `## Properties` — every property (all visibilities) with type from `@var` and description.
+5. `## Methods` — one `### method()` per method in source order: PHP-style signature
+   (types from `@param` / `@return`), description, long description (HTML converted to
+   Markdown), then `@since` / `@param` / `@return` / `@throws` / `@see` / other tags.
+
+Line numbers, `uses` arrays, and `root` / `path` fields are excluded.
+
+### Guarantees and behavior
+
+- **Deterministic:** identical input bytes produce identical output bytes (JSON
+  order preserved; no timestamps, no randomness).
+- **HTML to Markdown:** an `html.parser`-based converter handles the docblock tag
+  inventory (`p`, `br`, `pre`/`code` to fenced PHP, `code`, `em`, `strong`,
+  `ul`/`ol`/`li`, `h2`-`h4`, `blockquote`, tables, `a`). Entities are decoded.
+- **Schema-drift guard:** an unknown HTML tag aborts loudly via `sys.exit` rather
+  than being silently dropped. (`<div>` in example prose is the one tolerated
+  non-structural tag and is re-emitted as literal text.)
+
+### Regenerate the sample outputs
+
+```sh
+python3 render-docs-markdown.py \
+  -i ../artifacts/html-tag-processor.json \
+  -o /tmp/html-api-docs-eval-test/html-tag-processor.md
+
+python3 render-docs-markdown.py \
+  -i ../artifacts/html-processor.json \
+  -o /tmp/html-api-docs-eval-test/html-processor.md

Subject: [PATCH 002/193] HTML API docs experiment: task corpus and execution
 harness.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

16 tasks (12 train + 4 held-out), each with a subagent-facing prompt,
a validated reference implementation, and frozen hidden test cases.
Expected outputs were generated from the references and cross-checked
against PHP's Dom\HTMLDocument where semantics overlap (text
extraction, links, tables, outlines) — all agree.

Harness executes candidates standalone (no WordPress boot) with shims
for the six WP functions the html-api files reference; each test case
runs in an isolated subprocess with a 10s timeout so parse errors,
fatals, and infinite loops are contained and reported.

+# Strip inline styles
+
+Write a single PHP function:
+
+```php
+function strip_inline_styles( string $html ): string
+```
+
+Remove the `style` attribute from every tag in the document and return the
+modified HTML. All other attributes and everything else in the document
+must be preserved byte-for-byte; whitespace that surrounded a removed
+attribute remains where it was. Attribute names are case-insensitive
+(`STYLE="…"` is a `style` attribute). Content inside HTML comments is not
+real markup and must not be modified.
+
+Example (note the leftover spaces where the attributes were removed):
+
+```php
+strip_inline_styles( '<p style="color:red">Hi <b style="x">there</b></p>' )
+// => '<p >Hi <b >there</b></p>'

+# Read data attributes
+
+Write a single PHP function:
+
+```php
+function get_data_attributes( string $html ): array

+
+Find the first `DIV` tag in the document and return an associative array of
+all its `data-*` attributes: keys are the full lowercase attribute names
+(including the `data-` prefix), values are the decoded attribute values as
+the HTML API reports them (a string, or `true` for an attribute written
+without a value). Preserve the order in which the attributes appear in the
+tag. Return an empty array if there is no `DIV` or it has no `data-*`
+attributes.
+
+Example:
+
+```php
+get_data_attributes( '<div id="x" data-post-id="42" data-featured>…</div>' )
+// => [ 'data-post-id' => '42', 'data-featured' => true ]

+# Audit image alt text
+
+Write a single PHP function:
+
+```php
+function find_images_missing_alt( string $html ): array
+```
+
+Return a list (numeric array) of the `src` values of every `IMG` tag whose
+alternative text is missing or empty, in document order. "Missing or empty"
+means: the `alt` attribute is absent, is written without a value
+(`<img alt>`), or has the empty string as its value (`alt=""`). An `alt`
+containing only whitespace (`alt=" "`) is **present** and does not count.
+Skip `IMG` tags that have no `src` attribute. The `src` values are the
+decoded attribute values.
+
+Example:
+
+```php
+find_images_missing_alt( '<img src="a.jpg"><img src="b.jpg" alt="A bee"><img src="c.jpg" alt="">' )
+// => [ 'a.jpg', 'c.jpg' ]

+# Add a class to every image

+Given an HTML document or fragment, add the class `wp-image` to every `IMG`

+# Extract the first heading's text
+
+Write a single PHP function:
+
+```php
+function get_first_h1_text( string $html ): ?string
+```
+
+Given an HTML fragment (as found inside `<body>`), return the text content
+of the first `H1` element: the concatenation of all text nodes inside it,
+including text inside nested elements, with character references decoded
+(`&amp;` becomes `&`). Markup contributes nothing — an `H1` containing only
+an image has text content `""` (empty string, not null).
+
+Return `null` only when the document contains no `H1` element.
+
+Examples:
+
+```php
+get_first_h1_text( '<h1>Hello</h1>' )                  // => 'Hello'

+# Build a figure fragment
+
+Write a single PHP function:
+
+```php
+function build_figure( string $url, string $alt, string $caption ): string
+```
+
+Build and return an HTML fragment of exactly this shape:
+
+```html
+<figure><img src="…" alt="…"><figcaption>…</figcaption></figure>
+```
+
+where the `src` attribute holds `$url`, the `alt` attribute holds `$alt`,
+and the `figcaption` contains `$caption` as its text. The attributes must
+appear in exactly that order: `src`, then `alt`. The inputs are plain,
+unescaped strings and may contain characters that are special in HTML
+(`&`, `<`, `>`, quotes); they must be encoded so that a browser renders
+exactly the provided values.
+
+Use the HTML API to construct the fragment — do not hand-assemble the
+string with manual escaping.
+
+Example:
+
+```php
+build_figure( 'https://example.com/dog.jpg', 'A dog', 'My dog' )
+// => '<figure><img src="https://example.com/dog.jpg" alt="A dog"><figcaption>My dog</figcaption></figure>'

+# Plain-text excerpt with a length limit
+
+Write a single PHP function:
+
+```php
+function html_text_excerpt( string $html, int $max_codepoints ): string
+```
+
+Given an HTML fragment (as found inside `<body>`), return its text content:
+the concatenation of every text node in document order, with character
+references decoded. Do not normalize or collapse whitespace — whitespace
+between elements that the parser reports as text nodes is included as-is.
+Text that is not a text node contributes nothing (for example the contents
+of `<script>` and `<style>` elements are not text nodes).
+
+If the resulting text contains more than `$max_codepoints` Unicode code
+points, truncate it to exactly `$max_codepoints` code points (never cut in
+the middle of a multi-byte character; no ellipsis). If `$max_codepoints` is
+zero or negative, return the empty string.
+
+Examples:
+
+```php
+html_text_excerpt( '<p>Just <a href="#">a link</a> to content.</p>', 1000 )
+// => 'Just a link to content.'
+
+html_text_excerpt( '<p>Just <a href="#">a link</a> to content.</p>', 6 )

+# Collect all links
+
+Write a single PHP function:
+
+```php
+function collect_links( string $html ): array
+```
+
+Given an HTML fragment (as found inside `<body>`), return a list (numeric
+array) describing every `A` tag that has an `href` attribute, in document
+order. Each entry is an associative array:
+
+- `'href'`: the attribute's decoded value as the HTML API reports it
+  (a string; or `true` when the attribute is written without a value).
+- `'text'`: the link's text content — all text nodes inside the `A`
+  element concatenated, character references decoded, markup contributing
+  nothing.
+
+`A` tags without an `href` attribute are excluded. Return an empty array
+when there are no links.
+
+Example:
+
+```php
+collect_links( '<p><a href="/a">First</a> and <a href="/b"><em>second</em> link</a></p>' )
+// => [ ['href' => '/a', 'text' => 'First'], ['href' => '/b', 'text' => 'second link'] ]

+# Extract table data
+
+Write a single PHP function:
+
+```php
+function table_to_array( string $html ): array
+```
+
+Given an HTML fragment (as found inside `<body>`), find the first `TABLE`
+element and return its contents as a list of rows; each row is a list of
+its cells' text content in order. Both `TD` and `TH` cells count. A cell's
+text content is the concatenation of all text nodes inside it, character
+references decoded, markup contributing nothing.
+
+Tables may omit optional closing tags (`</td>`, `</tr>`) and may or may not
+use `<tbody>`/`<thead>` — handle these like a browser would. You may assume
+tables are not nested. Return an empty array when there is no table.
+
+Example:
+
+```php
+table_to_array( '<table><tr><th>Name</th><th>Age</th></tr><tr><td>Ada</td><td>36</td></tr></table>' )
+// => [ ['Name', 'Age'], ['Ada', '36'] ]

+# Highlight a keyword in text
+
+Write a single PHP function:
+
+```php
+function mark_keyword( string $html, string $keyword ): string
+```
+
+Given an HTML fragment (as found inside `<body>`) and a non-empty keyword,
+return a **normalized** serialization of the fragment in which every text
+node whose decoded text contains the keyword (case-sensitive substring
+match) is wrapped in a `<mark>` element. The entire text node is wrapped,
+not just the matching substring.
+
+Notes:
+
+- The match is against the decoded text, so a keyword spelled with
+  character references in the source still matches.
+- Keywords appearing inside attribute values, comments, or split across
+  multiple text nodes do not match.
+- The output is normalized HTML: optional tags are closed, attribute values
+  are double-quoted, and text re-encodes characters like `&` canonically.
+  Apart from the added `<mark>` wrappers it is exactly the normalized form
+  of the input.
+
+Examples:
+
+```php
+mark_keyword( '<p>hello world', 'world' )
+// => '<p><mark>hello world</mark></p>'
+//    (the whole text node is wrapped, and the open <p> is closed)
+
+mark_keyword( '<p>wor<em>ld</em></p>', 'world' )
+// => '<p>wor<em>ld</em></p>'
+//    (no single text node contains the keyword)
+```

+# Mark the last section heading
+
+Write a single PHP function:

+```php
+function mark_last_h2( string $html ): string
+```
+
+Given an HTML document or fragment, add the class `final-section` to the
+**last** `H2` tag in the document, and return the modified HTML. Everything
+else must be preserved byte-for-byte. If the document has no `H2`, return
+it unchanged. `H2` tags inside HTML comments are not real tags and do not
+count.
+
+The document may be large and may contain many `H2` tags.
+
+Example:
+
+```php
+mark_last_h2( '<h2>One</h2><p>…</p><h2>Two</h2><p>…</p>' )
+// => '<h2>One</h2><p>…</p><h2 class="final-section">Two</h2><p>…</p>'

+# Compare two HTML fragments
+
+Write a single PHP function:
+
+```php
+function is_same_html( string $a, string $b ): bool
+```
+
+Given two HTML fragments (as found inside `<body>`), determine whether they
+represent the same parsed structure — that is, whether a browser would
+build the same DOM from both. Differences in attribute quoting style,
+optional/implied closing tags, tag-name case, and equivalent character
+references do not change the structure. Differences in attribute **order**,
+element structure, attribute values, or text content do.
+
+If either input cannot be fully parsed/represented, return `false`.
+
+Examples:
+
+```php
+is_same_html( '<div><p>a', '<DIV><p>a</p></div>' )          // => true
+is_same_html( "<a href=x>go</a>", '<a href="x">go</a>' )    // => true
+is_same_html( '<p>a</p>', '<p>b</p>' )                      // => false

Subject: [PATCH 003/193] HTML API docs experiment: round tooling and protocol.

- stage-round.sh: regenerate JSON, render markdown, stage isolated
  scratch dir containing only the two markdown files.
- docs-only-guard.php: comment-stripped token-stream identity vs HEAD
  plus php -l, run before every round that follows doc edits.
- aggregate-round.py: trial/task/round scoring per PLAN.md formula.
- PROTOCOL.md: runbook with exact test-subagent and judge prompt
  templates, judge rubric, and results layout.
- docs-test-subject agent definition (Read+Grep only) for structural
  isolation in future sessions.

Pilot validated end-to-end: Sonnet test subject on T01 returned
well-formed output passing 8/8 hidden cases.

+name: docs-test-subject
+description: Documentation-only test subject for the HTML API doc-improvement experiment. Implements a PHP function using only the two provided documentation files. Tool access is restricted to Read and Grep by design — do not widen it.
+tools: Read, Grep
+---
+
+You are a test subject in a documentation-quality experiment. You implement
+a single PHP function using the WordPress HTML API.
+
+Hard rules:
+
+- Your ONLY information sources are the documentation files whose absolute
+  paths are given in your task prompt. Read or search them as much as you
+  like.
+- You must not attempt to access any other file, directory, or resource.
+- You never execute code; you reason from documentation alone.
+- Do not invent methods, constants, or behaviors that the documentation
+  does not describe. If the documentation seems incomplete, choose the
+  best-supported approach it does describe.
+
+Your final message is your deliverable and must follow the output format
+specified in your task prompt exactly.

+
+Hypothesis → outcome narrative, one entry per round. Newest first.
+
+## Round 0 — baseline (in progress)
+
+Unmodified docs. All 16 tasks (12 train + 4 held-out) × 3 Sonnet trials,
+to establish the train baseline and the held-out baseline for later
+checkpoints. Isolation note: run from the session that created the
+`docs-test-subject` agent type, so trials used a general agent with
+prompt-level restriction; transcripts spot-checked.

+# Round protocol
+
+Operational runbook for one evaluation round. Keep in sync with PLAN.md.
+
+## 1. Stage
+
+```sh
+sh doc-experiment/tools/stage-round.sh <N>   # prints /tmp/html-api-docs-eval/round-NN
+```
+
+If docs were edited since the last round, first run the docs-only guard:
+
+```sh
+php doc-experiment/tools/docs-only-guard.php
+```
+
+## 2. Test-subagent prompt template
+
+One agent per task-trial; agent type `docs-test-subject` (Read+Grep only,
+defined in `.claude/agents/`); model `sonnet` (later `haiku`); 3 trials per
+task. Note: agent definitions register at session start — in a session
+older than the definition, fall back to a general agent with the
+prompt-level restrictions below and spot-check transcripts for isolation
+violations. Substitute `{SCRATCH}` and `{TASK_MD}`:
+
+````text
+You are implementing a PHP function for WordPress using the HTML API.
+
+Your ONLY sources of information about the API are these two
+documentation files:
+
+- {SCRATCH}/html-tag-processor.md
+- {SCRATCH}/html-processor.md
+
+Strict rules: do not read any other file; do not run code; do not rely on
+memory of WordPress source code — if the documentation contradicts your
+memory, trust the documentation. Methods not documented in those files do
+not exist.
+
+THE TASK:
+
+{TASK_MD}
+
+Respond with your final answer in exactly this structure (the code block
+must contain a complete PHP file defining exactly the requested function):
+
+```php
+<?php
+// implementation
+```
+
+EXPLANATION: one short paragraph describing your approach and which
+documented APIs you used.
+
+CONFIDENCE: an integer 0-100 — your confidence the implementation passes
+a strict behavioral test suite.
+````
+
+When orchestrating via the Workflow tool, prefer `schema` structured
+output with fields `code` (string), `explanation` (string), `confidence`
+(integer 0-100) instead of free-text parsing.
+
+## 3. Execute
+
+For each trial, write the returned code to
+`results/round-NN/<task>/trial-<n>/candidate.php`, then:
+
+```sh
+php doc-experiment/harness/run-tests.php \
+  results/round-NN/<task>/trial-<n>/candidate.php \
+  doc-experiment/corpus/<task>/tests.json \
+  > results/round-NN/<task>/trial-<n>/execution.json || true
+```
+
+(`run-tests.php` exits non-zero on failures; the JSON is still complete.)
+
+## 4. Judge prompt template
+
+One Opus judge per task. The judge receives: the task directory contents
+(task.md, reference.php, tests.json), all three trials (candidate.php,
+explanation, confidence, execution.json), and the two rendered markdown
+docs the subagents saw. The judge may read the html-api source and run
+ad-hoc probes with the harness bootstrap.
+
+The judge returns JSON:
+
+```json
+{
+  "trials": [
+    {
+      "trial_id": "trial-1",
+      "adherence": 0,
+      "hallucinated_methods": [],
+      "notes": "…"
+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "Which misunderstandings caused failures, citing the docs passages (or absences) responsible.",
+  "doc_gaps": [
+    { "location": "method or section", "problem": "…", "suggestion": "…" }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Adherence rubric (0-100): correct processor choice for the job (30),
+no hallucinated/undocumented API usage (30), idiomatic use of documented
+patterns — bookmarks, breadcrumbs, token walking (25), graceful handling
+of edge cases the docs describe (15). Execution results measure
+correctness separately; adherence is about HOW the API was used.
+
+## 5. Aggregate and record
+
+```sh
+python3 doc-experiment/tools/aggregate-round.py doc-experiment/results/round-NN
+```
+
+Record in LOG.md: round score, per-task scores, judge doc_gaps summary.
+Commit results, then make doc edits (one commit per hypothesis), re-run
+the guard, and stage the next round.
+
+## Storage layout
+
+```
+doc-experiment/results/round-NN/
+  <task-id>/
+    trial-1/candidate.php
+    trial-1/response.json    # explanation + confidence as returned
+    trial-1/execution.json
+    judge.json
+  round-summary.json         # aggregate-round.py output
+```

Subject: [PATCH 004/193] HTML API docs experiment: workflow scripts and trial
 persistence.

trials-workflow.js fans out one docs-only test subject per task-trial
with structured output; judge-workflow.js fans out one Opus judge per
task with the adherence rubric and doc-gap analysis; persist-trials.py
writes candidates to results/ and executes them against hidden tests.

Less capable "test subject" models implemented a PHP function using ONLY two rendered documentation files plus a task description — no source access, no code execution. You score how they used the API and diagnose which documentation gaps caused failures.
+
+Locations:
+- Task spec (what subjects saw): ${repoRoot}/doc-experiment/corpus/${id}/task.md
+- Canonical reference: ${repoRoot}/doc-experiment/corpus/${id}/reference.php
+- Hidden tests + frozen expectations: ${repoRoot}/doc-experiment/corpus/${id}/tests.json
+- Trials: ${repoRoot}/doc-experiment/results/${round}/${id}/trial-{1,2,3}/ each containing candidate.php, response.json (subject's explanation + self-reported confidence), execution.json (hidden-test results: per-case pass/fail with expected vs actual, plus any _doing_it_wrong records)
+- The exact docs subjects saw: ${scratch}/html-tag-processor.md and ${scratch}/html-processor.md
+
+Score each trial's ADHERENCE 0-100 by this rubric:
+- Correct processor choice for the job (max 30)
+- No hallucinated or undocumented API usage (max 30) — verify EVERY method the candidate calls exists in the two markdown files (Grep them); _doing_it_wrong records in execution.json also indicate misuse
+- Idiomatic use of documented patterns: token walking, bookmarks, breadcrumbs, get_updated_html, serialize_token (max 25)
+- Graceful handling of edge cases the docs describe: null/true/'' attribute semantics, decoded vs raw text, incomplete input (max 15)
+
+Adherence judges HOW the API was used; functional correctness is measured separately by execution.json — do not double-count it, but use failing cases to find the misunderstanding.
+
+Then write failure_analysis: for each failed hidden case across trials, identify the specific misconception and the documentation passage (or absence) responsible — name the markdown section or method heading. If all trials passed everything, analyze what the docs did well and any near-misses in the explanations.
+
+Then list doc_gaps: concrete, GENERALIZABLE improvements to the docblocks (location = class/method or section, problem, suggestion). Never suggest embedding this task's solution into the docs; suggest the general fact or example that would have prevented the failure.
+
+You may verify actual API behavior with probes:
+  php -r 'require "${repoRoot}/doc-experiment/harness/bootstrap.php"; <probe code>'

Subject: [PATCH 005/193] HTML API docs experiment: round 0 baseline results.

48 Sonnet trials (16 tasks x 3) judged by 16 Opus judges.
TRAIN 93.57 / HELD-OUT 93.47. Dominant systematic failure: undocumented
closer-token depth semantics plus missing subtree-walk idiom (T03, T06,
H04). Secondary: get_modifiable_text() decoding unstated (T08, H04);
serialize_token() rewrite idiom undocumented (T12); misleading
tables-unsupported bullet (T08).

 Hypothesis → outcome narrative, one entry per round. Newest first.
 
-## Round 0 — baseline (in progress)
+## Round 0 — baseline
 
 Unmodified docs. All 16 tasks (12 train + 4 held-out) × 3 Sonnet trials,
 to establish the train baseline and the held-out baseline for later
 checkpoints. Isolation note: run from the session that created the
 `docs-test-subject` agent type, so trials used a general agent with
-prompt-level restriction; transcripts spot-checked.
+prompt-level restriction; all 48 transcripts scanned — zero reads outside
+the scratch dir (two benign Bash greps of the scratch markdown, one
+solution draft written into scratch).
+
+**TRAIN 93.57 / HELD-OUT 93.47** (scores 0–100; 0.7·pass + 0.3·adherence).
+
+Weak spots and judge-diagnosed causes:
+- T06 collect-links 53.5 (two trials 1/8) and T03 first-h1-text 86.1
+  (all trials 7/8, same case) and H04 trial-3 1/7: all share one root
+  cause — nothing documents that a tag-closer token reports the PARENT's
+  depth (element already popped), and no doc shows the canonical
+  "walk a subtree until it closes" loop. Subjects guessed
+  `depth <= opener_depth` break conditions and exited subtrees early or
+  collected nothing.
+- T08 table-extract 92.3 but adherence only 70–77: the "Supported
+  elements" bullet wrongly implies tables abort the HTML Processor, so
+  subjects bolted on needless fallbacks; also get_modifiable_text()
+  never states its output is entity-decoded (several subjects added a
+  redundant html_entity_decode pass, risking double-decode bugs).
+- T12 unwrap-spans adherence 88: the next_token()/serialize_token()
+  selective-rewrite idiom is undocumented; subjects mixed it with
+  whole-string normalize() unsure which was right.
+
+Round-1 hypotheses (each its own commit):
+1. Document closer-token depth semantics on get_current_depth() and
+   is_tag_closer().
+2. Add the canonical subtree-walk example (depth guard + breadcrumbs
+   alternative) to WP_HTML_Processor::next_token() and soften its
+   "use the Tag Processor instead" steer.
+3. State that get_modifiable_text() returns decoded text (and
+   set_modifiable_text() encodes), with a one-line example.
+Deferred to round 2 (adherence-only): serialize_token() rewrite idiom;
+"which class do I use" guidance; fix the tables-unsupported bullet.

The docs supported this task well: next_tag() with no argument is clearly documented as matching any tag (line 39 and table line 49), remove_attribute is documented as safe to call when the attribute is absent (line 148, covering the no-styles-unchanged case), and case-insensitive attribute handling is in the changelog (line 315, covering uppercase-attribute). The diff-minimization paragraph (line 294) backs the leftover-whitespace expectation, and boolean-attribute semantics (lines 82, 1448, 2070) explain why the valueless `style` case works even though no code reads the value.\\n\\nThe only weaknesses are in the EXPLANATIONS, not the code, and they reveal genuine doc gaps that would cause failures on adjacent tasks:\\n\\n1. Why comments are untouched. All three trials credited next_tag()'s skipping of 'special elements like STYLE/SCRIPT' for the comment-untouched case. That is a conflation: comments survive because comment tokens are not tag tokens, so next_tag() simply never stops on them (line 39 says it finds the next HTML tag; the comment-token discussion is at lines 267-272). The STYLE/SCRIPT rawtext-skipping mechanism (lines 259, 316) is unrelated and was triggered by none of the test inputs. The docs never state plainly, at the next_tag() heading, that next_tag() visits only tag openers/closers and skips comments, text, CDATA, and doctype tokens. A subject who believed comment-safety comes from rawtext-skipping would write incorrect code on a task involving a real STYLE element with HTML-looking text inside, or a task needing to walk comment tokens.\\n\\n2. Whitespace on removal. Trial 3 cited the 'Possible future direction' bullet (lines 9-11) as the source of the leftover-whitespace behavior, but that bullet describes a hypothetical FUTURE in which whitespace would be PRUNED — the opposite of current behavior. The actual guarantee lives in a dense paragraph at line 294 under a different heading and is not attached to remove_attribute or set_attribute. The current diff-minimizing behavior of remove_attribute (leaves surrounding whitespace where it was) is never stated at the remove_attribute heading itself, so a subject has to infer it. Here that inference was correct; on a task that asserts whitespace IS pruned, the same subject would be wrong, and the 'future direction' bullet actively misleads.\\n\\nNet: the documentation was sufficient for this basic task (perfect pass rate), but the reasoning chains expose two places where the docs let subjects reach the right answer for partly wrong reasons.",

The documentation was strongly aligned with this task, which explains the uniform success. Specifically: (1) the `get_attribute_names_with_prefix()` section (tag-processor.md line 1450) uses `data-` as its literal worked example and demonstrates exactly the case-insensitive lowercasing behavior the `uppercase-names-lowercased` hidden case probes (`<div data-ENABLED ... DATA-test-id>` => `array('data-enabled','data-test-id')`), plus the `null` return when no tag is matched; (2) the `get_attribute()` section (line 1415) documents the `string|true|null` return signature and shows `get_attribute('enabled') === true` for a boolean attribute, directly supporting the `mixed`/`data-featured` case; (3) the documented null/empty semantics let all three subjects defensively branch correctly for the `no-div` and `no-data-attributes` cases. All three subjects converged on the canonical two-method pattern (enumerate names with prefix, then fetch each value), which is the idiomatic and intended approach.\\n\\nNear-miss worth flagging: the `entities-in-values` case (`data-title=\\\"Fish &amp; Chips\\\"` => `Fish & Chips`) passed, but NOT because the docs guaranteed it. I probed the runtime and confirmed `get_attribute` returns the entity-decoded value. However, the `get_attribute` docblock never states that returned attribute values are entity-decoded; its Returns line only says \\\"Value of attribute or null if not available. Boolean attributes return true.\\\" The only decoding discussion in the docs concerns modifiable TEXT content of TITLE/TEXTAREA/rawtext elements (lines 117-133, 246, 257-259), which is unrelated to attribute values. All three subjects asserted in their explanations that get_attribute returns the \\\"decoded value,\\\" but that claim is inferred from the task description, not grounded in the docs. Had the API not decoded (or had this been a subtler entity), subjects had no documentation basis to predict the result. This is the single weak spot the docs left exposed even though no trial tripped on it.\"",

In this experiment the entities-in-values case passed only because the runtime decodes, not because the docs promised it.",

Two minor stylistic/edge-case deviations from the cleaner trials: (1) skips no-src only on null === $src, not true === $src, then defends with a (string) $src cast. For a valueless src (<img src>, which get_attribute returns as true) this would cast to '1' and INCLUDE it rather than skip it, unlike the reference which skips true === $src. No test exercises valueless src, so it passes, but it's marginally weaker handling of the documented boolean-attribute semantic. (2) The cast is a workaround rather than handling the true case directly. Explanation is otherwise accurate and acknowledges the cast is for a 'theoretical edge case'.

All three trials passed 7/7 with no _doing_it_wrong or trigger_error records, so this is an analysis of what the docs did well and the near-misses.\n\nWhat the docs did well (the load-bearing facts all three subjects needed):\n- The null/true/'' tri-state of get_attribute() is documented in two places: the narrative at html-tag-processor.md lines 81-82 ('return null if the attribute wasn't present... may return \"\" ... For boolean attributes... it will return true'), and the get_attribute() reference signature `string|true|null` (line 1418) plus example (lines 1426-1433) and Returns note (line 1448, 'Boolean attributes return true'). This crisp, redundant coverage is almost certainly why every trial nailed the valueless-alt, mixed-states, and whitespace-alt-is-present cases without guessing. The whitespace case in particular hinges on understanding that '' (empty) and ' ' (whitespace) are distinct strings, which the docs' precise wording supports.\n- next_tag() case-insensitivity and the array-vs-string shorthand (lines 49-53) let subjects safely write next_tag('img') for IMG tags.\n- The 'when matching fails' / incomplete-input discussion (lines 84-92) is good context, though not exercised here.\n\nNear-misses and the one fragile dependency:\n- The entity-in-src case (<img src=\"/i?a=1&amp;b=2\"> must yield '/i?a=1&b=2') depends on get_attribute() DECODING character references in attribute values. The docs NEVER state this. The get_attribute() section (lines 1415-1448) and the narrative (lines 81-82) describe presence/absence/boolean semantics but say nothing about decoding. The only decoding discussion in the file (lines 117-133, 246-259, and set_modifiable_text at ~1830) concerns TEXT content of rawtext/plaintext elements (TITLE, TEXTAREA, SCRIPT, STYLE), not attribute values. Trials 2 and 3 both asserted 'get_attribute() returns decoded attribute values per the documentation' — that claim is NOT actually supported by the provided docs; they got the right answer by assumption/prior knowledge, not from the text. Had a subject reasoned conservatively that get_attribute returns raw source, they would have returned '/i?a=1&amp;b=2' and failed entity-in-src. This is the single most important documentation gap exposed by this task: the decoded-vs-raw distinction is explicit for text but absent for attributes.\n- The get_attribute() runnable example (lines 1426-1433) demonstrates true and null but omits the empty-string '' case, which is the exact discriminator at the heart of this task (alt=\"\" vs alt=\" \" vs alt). The '' semantic is only in prose at line 81 ('It may return \"\"'). The hedging phrase 'may return' is also weaker than warranted — it returns '' deterministically when the attribute is present with an empty value.",

Slightly less clean than trial 1 (depth arithmetic is a fragile idiom) and the explanation's framing ('after the closer is applied') is hand-wavy, but functionally and API-wise sound.

The subject matched the heading closer with the condition `$depth === $heading_depth`, assuming the closing tag token is reported at the SAME depth as its opener. In reality the HTML Processor reports a closer one level shallower (opener H1 at depth 3, its closer at depth 2), so the condition never fires and no heading is ever recorded. Same root cause for the unclosed-heading case: the processor synthesizes the H2 closer, but it too arrives at depth 2, still missing the === heading_depth test. Idiomatic token-walking and depth-tracking otherwise; lost points under both 'idiomatic use' and 'edge cases' because the depth reasoning is the load-bearing logic and it was wrong. The get_current_depth() docs are the responsible passage (see failure_analysis)."

+  "failure_analysis": "Only trial-3 failed hidden cases (6 of 7: simple, all-levels, entities, nested-in-sections, unclosed-heading, image-only-heading; the 'none' case passed only because it returns an empty array regardless). All failures share one root misconception with one responsible doc passage.\n\nMisconception: trial-3 assumed the depth reported when matched on a closing tag equals the depth reported at its opening tag. Its close-detection condition was `is_tag_closer() && get_tag() === $heading_tag && get_current_depth() === $heading_depth`. Probing the real parser shows that for `<h1>Title</h1>`, the H1 opener is reported at depth 3 while the H1 closer is reported at depth 2 — the closer is reported AFTER the element has been popped, so it is one level shallower. The condition `depth === heading_depth` therefore never holds, the outline entry is never appended, and every input containing a closed (or auto-closed) heading yields []. The unclosed-heading case (`<h2>Open <b>ended`) fails identically: the HTML Processor synthesizes the missing closers (verified: a virtual H2 closer fires at depth 2), but that synthesized closer is still at depth 2, not 3, so it is still missed.\n\nResponsible documentation: WP_HTML_Processor::get_current_depth() (html-processor.md, 'get_current_depth()' section, ~lines 807-841). Its example demonstrates that depth increases when opening DIV/P and that 'The P element is closed during next_token() so the depth is decreased', but it never makes explicit the consequence that matters here: when the cursor is matched ON a closing-tag token, get_current_depth() already reflects the post-pop depth, so a closer is reported one level shallower than its matching opener. The example only shows depth after stepping past a (text) node, never the depth value while sitting on a tag-closer token. Compare trial-2, which arrived at the correct `heading_depth - 1` only by independent reasoning (and flagged low confidence, 72), and trial-1, which avoided the trap entirely by matching the closer by tag name instead of depth. The docs left the depth-at-closer semantics to be guessed; one of three subjects guessed wrong.\n\nNear-misses worth noting on the passing trials: (1) The 'entities' case (Q&amp;A -> Q&A) passed in all three, but it relied on the unstated assumption that get_modifiable_text() decodes character references for ordinary #text nodes. Neither get_modifiable_text() entry states this; the tag-processor 'modifiable text' section only spells out decoding for RCDATA elements (TITLE/TEXTAREA) and describes a plain #text node as one 'whose entire token IS the modifiable text'. The subjects assumed decoding and were right, but the doc gave them no guarantee. (2) The 'image-only-heading' case relied on get_modifiable_text() returning '' for a heading whose only child is an IMG; the docs do state an empty string is returned when there is no modifiable text, which covered this. (3) None of the subjects used breadcrumbs or bookmarks; for this task plain token-walking with get_token_type()=='#text' was the correct, documented idiom, so the absence was appropriate rather than a near-miss.",

The analysis below covers what the docs did well and the near-misses in the explanations.\n\nWhat the docs enabled correctly:\n- Processor choice. The html-tag-processor.md opening examples and the 'Finding tags' section make WP_HTML_Tag_Processor the obvious tool for a flat class mutation. The html-processor.md was unnecessary here and correctly ignored by all subjects.\n- Class mutation. The 'Modifying CSS classes for a found tag' section (html-tag-processor.md:150-155) plus the preservation guarantee at line 294 ('add_class and remove_class preserve whitespace and the class ordering') directly justified the existing-classes case (photo large -> photo large wp-image). All subjects cited this accurately.\n- String-shorthand query. The table row at html-tag-processor.md:51 ('Find next image tag (without passing the array): $tags->next_tag( 'img' )') is exactly what every subject used.\n- Incomplete-tag-at-end. The 'When matching fails' subsection (html-tag-processor.md:86-114) and the next_tag Since note '6.5.0 - No longer processes incomplete tokens at end of document; pauses' explain why '<p>text</p><img src=\\\"a.jpg' is returned unchanged: next_tag returns false on the truncated img, so add_class is never called. The subjects did not need to reason about this explicitly, but the docs cover it.\n- Unquoted attributes. Line 294 documents that only updated attributes are re-quoted (double-quoted), and untouched attributes are left byte-for-byte; this is why src=a.jpg width=10 survives while the new class is added as class=\\\"wp-image\\\".\n\nTwo near-misses, both in explanation prose rather than code (no scoring impact, but they reveal latent doc gaps):\n1. Case-insensitive tag matching. Every subject passed lowercase 'img' and relied on it matching <IMG> (uppercase-tag case). This works, but the next_tag() docblock (html-tag-processor.md:893-915) never states that the $tag_name query is matched ASCII case-insensitively. The subjects inferred it (or got lucky). The only nearby hint is get_tag() returning 'the uppercase name of the matched tag' (line 1515) and the attribute-update case-insensitivity note (line 315) - neither states the query-matching rule. A subject who took the docs literally might have uppercased the query defensively or doubted the lowercase form.\n2. Comment skipping. All three explanations assert the processor 'inherently/automatically skips content inside HTML comments' so <img> inside <!-- ... --> is never matched (inside-comment-ignored case). This behavior is correct and follows from comments being a distinct token type (html-tag-processor.md:267-268, 928-938 describe comments as separate tokens and note 'The Tag Processor currently only supports the tag token'), but no passage explicitly tells next_tag() callers that tag-like text inside comments will not match a tag query. The subjects asserted a documented-sounding fact that the docs only imply.",
+  "doc_gaps": [
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::next_tag() — $query / tag_name parameter (html-tag-processor.md:893-915, and the 'Finding tags' table near line 50)",
+      "problem": "The docblock never states how the tag_name query is matched against tag names. Tags are normalized to uppercase (get_tag returns the uppercase name), so the query is effectively ASCII case-insensitive, but a reader cannot confirm that lowercase 'img' will match <IMG>. The uppercase-tag test only passed because subjects happened to trust this.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to the $tag_name description: 'Matching is ASCII case-insensitive; \"img\", \"IMG\", and \"Img\" all match the same tags.' Optionally add a query-table row showing an uppercase source tag matched by a lowercase query."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::next_tag() narrative — 'Finding tags' section (html-tag-processor.md:38-55)",
+      "problem": "Nothing in the next_tag documentation states that tag-like syntax inside HTML comments (and other non-tag tokens) will never satisfy a tag query. Every subject asserted this as if documented; it is true but only inferable from the separate token-type discussion much later in the file.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short note in the 'Finding tags' section: 'next_tag() only stops on real HTML tag tokens. Tag-like text inside comments, CDATA-lookalikes, or raw-text elements (SCRIPT, STYLE) is part of those tokens and is never matched as a tag.' This generalizes beyond this task to any find-and-modify use."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::add_class() (html-tag-processor.md:2115-2118)",
+      "problem": "The add_class() method entry itself only says 'Adds a new class name to the currently matched tag.' The crucial guarantees (creates the class attribute if absent, appends without reordering, preserves whitespace) live in distant prose sections (lines 150-155, 294). A reader landing on the method heading does not see the behavior that makes existing-classes preservation safe.",
+      "suggestion": "In the add_class() method docblock, add: 'If the tag has no class attribute, one is created. If it already has classes, the new name is appended without removing or reordering existing classes and without altering existing whitespace. Adding a class that is already present is a no-op.' This puts the load-bearing guarantee at the method a caller actually looks up."

+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor — end-of-document / incomplete-token behavior as it relates to modifications (html-tag-processor.md:86-114 and next_tag Since notes)",
+      "problem": "The docs explain that next_tag() returns false and pauses on an incomplete tag at end of document, but do not explicitly connect this to the modification workflow: that a truncated trailing tag is therefore left unmodified and get_updated_html() returns it byte-for-byte. Subjects got this right implicitly, but the guarantee is not stated.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a sentence near the 'When matching fails' section: 'Because the processor pauses before an incomplete trailing tag rather than matching it, that tag is never modified and is returned unchanged by get_updated_html().'"

The get_attribute return-value semantics (html-tag-processor.md, Finding tags / Custom queries area, lines 81-82): \\\"`get_attribute()` will return `null` if the attribute wasn't present... It may return `\\\"\\\"` (the empty string) in cases where the attribute was present but its value was empty. For boolean attributes, those whose name is present but no value is given, it will return `true`.\\\" This single passage is what made the trickiest requirement — that href=\\\"\\\" and bare <a href> both count as present while a missing href does not — solvable from docs alone. All three explanations cite the null/''/true trichotomy verbatim and convert it correctly into the `null !== get_attribute('href')` guard. Without lines 81-82 the natural mistake would be a truthiness check (`if ($processor->get_attribute('href'))`), which would wrongly skip href=\\\"\\\" (empty string is falsy) and the valueless case if it returned ''. The doc explicitly heading off that mistake is why empty-href-counts and valueless-href-counts passed.\n2. The set_attribute overwrite guarantee (line 148): \\\"If `set_attribute()` is called for an existing attribute it will overwrite the existing value... safe to call without knowing if a given attribute exists beforehand.\\\" This is exactly the documented fact that makes existing-target-overwritten pass with no special-casing.\n3. The inside-comment-ignored and nested-markup-in-link cases passed implicitly because next_tag only stops on tag openers and the Overview states the processor \\\"only parses the HTML tag openers\\\" and scans linearly without recursing — so comment contents are never mistaken for tags and nested <strong> is left untouched. Subjects did not need to reason about this explicitly; the API does the right thing by default.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: trials 1 and 3 assert next_tag \\\"skips tag closers by default,\\\" which is correct and supported by the tag_closers query default. The uppercase-attribute case (HREF) passed because attribute lookup is case-insensitive — relevant docs exist (line 1458: get_attribute_names_with_prefix \\\"matching is case-insensitive,\\\" and line 315 changelog \\\"attribute updates are case-insensitive\\\"), but none of the explanations explicitly justified why HREF would be found by get_attribute('href'); they got it right without articulating it. The one genuine undocumented reliance is in trials 2-3: next_tag('a') matching <A> depends on tag_name being case-insensitive, which the next_tag docblock (lines 896-914) does not state.",

+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "One hidden case failed, identically, in all three trials: `nested-markup` (`<h1>A <em>B</em> C</h1>`, expected \"A B C\", actual \"A B\"). Single root misconception shared by every subject; all other 7 cases pass in every trial.\n\nMisconception: subjects believed that when `get_current_depth()` returns a value <= the depth captured at the H1 opener, the walk has left the H1 subtree, so they used `if (get_current_depth() <= $h1_depth) break;` as the exit guard. This is false for tokens that are closers of NESTED elements. Token trace of the failing input (H1 opener at depth 3): `#text \"A \" (d4)`, `<em> (d4)`, `#text \"B\" (d5)`, `</em> closer (d3)`, `#text \" \" (d4)`, `#text \"C\" (d4)`, `</h1> closer (d2)`. The `</em>` closer reports depth 3 — equal to `$h1_depth` — so the `<= $h1_depth` break fires on the inner closer and the walk terminates before reaching \" \" and \"C\". A closer token reports the depth of the element it has just popped *to* (its parent / the containing content level), not the depth of the element being closed; thus a nested sibling closer collides with the H1-content boundary value.\n\nWhy the canonical reference avoids it: the reference uses the continuation guard `while ( next_token() && get_current_depth() >= $depth )` combined with collecting text only on `#text` tokens. At the `</em>` closer, `depth 3 >= 3` is true so iteration continues; the closer contributes no text; the loop only terminates at `</h1>` (depth 2 < 3). The `>=`-continue formulation tolerates boundary-depth closers; the candidates' `<=`-break formulation does not. I verified both empirically: reference yields \"A B C\", candidate logic yields \"A B\".\n\nResponsible documentation passage: the `get_current_depth()` method section (html-processor.md, heading `### get_current_depth()`, lines ~807-841). Its example walks `<div><p></p></div>` and notes \"The P element is closed during `next_token()` so the depth is decreased to reflect that. 3 === get_current_depth();\" — i.e. the example DEMONSTRATES the exact trap (a closer reporting the parent's depth) but never names the hazard. It does not state that a closer token's depth equals the parent level, nor warn that this makes `depth <= start_depth` an unsafe \"left the subtree\" test in the presence of nested elements. Nothing in the docs prescribes a correct subtree-containment idiom. The docs DO provide `get_breadcrumbs()` / `matches_breadcrumbs()`, which give a robust containment check (`in_array('H1', get_breadcrumbs(), true)`); I verified this approach passes all the tricky cases. But neither docfile connects breadcrumbs to the \"process every token inside element X\" use case, so all subjects reached for depth arithmetic and fell into the closer-depth trap.\n\nSecondary observation: `next_token()` documentation does not state what depth/breadcrumb value applies to a closer token, nor that `next_token()` visits both openers and closers of nested elements while walking a subtree. The entities case passed because `get_modifiable_text()` is correctly documented as returning decoded text; the null and empty-string edge cases passed because the spec semantics matched naive returns — so the docs' decoded-text and overview material did their job. The lone, repeated failure is squarely a depth/closer-semantics documentation gap.",

All three subjects made exactly this error.",

Extend the example to include a nested sibling, e.g. show that in `<h1>A <em>B</em> C</h1>` the </em> closer reports the H1's content depth, so testing `depth <= start_depth` will exit at the inner closer. State the safe idiom for 'process every token inside element X': capture the depth at the opener, then continue while `next_token() && get_current_depth() > start_depth` (strictly greater), collecting only the token types you care about — closers at the boundary depth are harmlessly skipped."

+      "suggestion": "In next_token()'s description, note that walking a subtree yields interleaved opener, text, comment, and closer tokens for every descendant, and cross-reference get_current_depth() and get_breadcrumbs() for determining whether the current token is still inside a given ancestor.

The most robust of the three: guards the #text match by tracking a FIGCAPTION-opener flag and excluding tag closers via is_tag_closer(), so it wouldn't grab a stray earlier text node. Edge handling correct across &, quotes, angle brackets, unicode, and script-as-text.

Instead I analyze what the docs did well and the near-misses in approach.\n\nWhat the docs enabled well: The single most load-bearing fact for this task — that set_attribute and set_modifiable_text accept plain unescaped strings and perform all HTML encoding themselves — is documented clearly and redundantly. Both methods carry the identical passage 'This function handles all necessary HTML encoding. Provide normal, unescaped string values' plus worked 'Eggs & Milk' examples (set_attribute L2051-2068; set_modifiable_text L1830-1841). All three subjects quoted this and trusted it, which is exactly why every encoding edge case passed: ampersand (&amp;), quotes-in-alt (&quot;), angle-brackets/script in caption (&lt;...&gt;, NOT parsed as a tag), and unicode pass-through. The task's explicit warning 'do not hand-assemble the string with manual escaping' steered subjects to the right methods, but the docs are what made that safe.\n\nThe token-walking model was also well-conveyed. The next_token() example at L220-239 (get_token_name() switch on '#text') is the exact pattern all three subjects reproduced to reach the figcaption text, and the set_modifiable_text example at L1815-1827 demonstrates the same '#text' === get_token_name() guard. get_token_type/get_token_name distinction (L1623-1681) and is_tag_closer (L1595, used by trial-1) are all documented with examples. Nothing called was undocumented.\n\nNear-misses in the subjects' approach (not failures, but worth noting): (1) All three avoided the question of where a NEWLY created attribute would be inserted in source order by pre-seeding src=\\\"\\\" alt=\\\"\\\" into the template and only overwriting existing attributes. This was a smart route-around, but it was forced by a doc gap: set_attribute documents overwrite-vs-create behavior generally but never states the source-position of a created attribute, so subjects could not be confident that calling set_attribute('src') then set_attribute('alt') on a bare <img> would yield src-before-alt. (2) Trials 2 and 3 break on the first #text token without verifying containment in FIGCAPTION; this works only because the chosen template has exactly one text node and no inter-element whitespace. The docs do mention (subdivide_text_appropriately, L1729-1759, and the get_modifiable_text limitation note) that text nodes can be split by whitespace/NULL bytes, but nothing in the next_token walkthrough warns that consecutive/whitespace text nodes can appear, so the subjects' fragile 'first #text' assumption went unchallenged. Trial-1 alone hardened against this. None of these surfaced as failures because the subjects controlled the input template, but they reflect genuine doc silences rather than subject error.\"",

All three converged on the reference approach exactly. What the docs did well, plus the near-misses:\\n\\n1. ENTITY DECODING (entities-count-decoded): The task hinges on '&amp;' decoding to '&' and counting as one codepoint. Probe confirms get_modifiable_text() returns decoded text for #text nodes ('<p>Fish &amp; Chips</p>' -> 'Fish & Chips'). But the get_modifiable_text() docblock (html-processor.md line 1974; html-tag-processor.md line 1769) NEVER states references are decoded for #text nodes — it only lists WHICH tokens have modifiable text. All three subjects asserted the decoding in their explanations and got it right, but by inference, most plausibly from the Tag Processor 'Special atomic elements' section (lines 243-259, which says TITLE/TEXTAREA references are decoded) and from set_modifiable_text encode/decode examples. This is the single largest near-miss: correct behavior reachable only by cross-referencing other sections, not from the method's own contract.\\n\\n2. SCRIPT/STYLE EXCLUSION (script-excluded): All three correctly relied on SCRIPT content surfacing as a #tag token (name=SCRIPT) rather than a #text token, so the get_token_type()==='#text' filter drops it. Probe confirms. Docs support this only indirectly via the 'special atomic elements' discussion and get_token_type's #tag-vs-#text enumeration (line 1635); no single passage states 'SCRIPT/STYLE inner text is reported under the opening #tag token, not as a #text node.' Trial-2's explanation reconstructed the mechanism; the others stated the outcome.\\n\\n3. MALFORMED NESTING (malformed-nesting '<div><p>one<p>two</div>tail' -> 'onetwotail'): Worked because WP_HTML_Processor applies HTML5 tree construction (implied </p>). The HTML Processor 'Supported markup' section (lines 95-109) explicitly lists '<p>one<p>two' as handled, which directly justified the processor choice. Docs did well here.\\n\\n4. TRAP THAT DID NOT FIRE: The HTML Processor's own next_token() docblock (lines 606-623) discourages its use — 'doesn't process semantic rules for text nodes. For access to the raw tokens consider using WP_HTML_Tag_Processor instead' and '6.5.0 - Added for internal support; do not use.' This contradicts the pattern that actually works (and that the reference uses). A more literal subject could have been steered to the wrong processor or away from next_token. All three ignored the warning and succeeded, but it is a live contradiction.\\n\\n5. CODEPOINT TRUNCATION: All used mb_substr(...,'UTF-8') for no-mid-character truncation (multibyte-emoji, accented). Pure PHP stdlib, not API behavior, so docs neither helped nor hurt.",
+  "doc_gaps": [
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::get_modifiable_text() and WP_HTML_Processor::get_modifiable_text() (docblock)",
+      "problem": "The method contract never states what transformations are applied to the returned text. In particular it does not say that for #text nodes (and RCDATA elements like TITLE/TEXTAREA) character references are DECODED, while for rawtext elements (SCRIPT/STYLE/XMP) they are left raw. Subjects had to infer the decoding from unrelated sections; the inference was correct but the method's own docs gave no guarantee.",
+      "suggestion": "Add an explicit sentence to the get_modifiable_text() docblock: the returned string is the decoded plain text for #text, TITLE, and TEXTAREA tokens (e.g. '&amp;' becomes '&'), and the verbatim raw text for SCRIPT, STYLE, and other rawtext sections. A one-line example (input '<p>Fish &amp; Chips</p>' yields 'Fish & Chips') would make the decode-vs-raw distinction unambiguous without embedding this task's solution."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor / WP_HTML_Processor — get_token_type() and the 'Special self-contained elements' section",
+      "problem": "It is not stated in one place that the inner text of SCRIPT/STYLE/TITLE/TEXTAREA is reported as the modifiable text of the OPENING tag token (get_token_type()==='#tag'), and therefore is NOT emitted as a separate '#text' token. Code that walks tokens and accumulates only '#text' content depends on this to exclude script/style text but must currently deduce it; getting it wrong would silently include script source in 'text content'.",
+      "suggestion": "In the get_token_type() docs (or the 'special atomic elements' section) add a note: 'The inner contents of SCRIPT, STYLE, TITLE, and TEXTAREA are exposed as the modifiable text of that element's opening #tag token; they do not appear as separate #text tokens.' This generalizes the rule that lets callers reliably separate true text nodes from raw/atomic element contents."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::next_token() (docblock, html-processor.md lines 606-623)",
+      "problem": "The docblock discourages the very usage that is correct and idiomatic for extracting text from a parsed document: it says next_token() 'doesn't process semantic rules for text nodes' and 'consider using WP_HTML_Tag_Processor instead,' and tags it 'Added for internal support; do not use.' Yet walking next_token() on the HTML Processor and reading get_modifiable_text() on #text tokens is exactly how text extraction with full tree construction (implied tags, mis-nesting) is achieved, and is what the reference does. This contradiction risks steering callers to the wrong tool for structural correctness.",
+      "suggestion": "Clarify the boundary: state that next_token() on the HTML Processor IS appropriate for reading the token stream (including #text nodes and their modifiable text) with full HTML5 tree construction applied, and scope the 'use the Tag Processor instead' guidance to cases needing low-level/raw tokens without semantic processing. Remove or qualify the blanket 'do not use' so it no longer contradicts the documented, working pattern."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment() (Returns / docblock)",
+      "problem": "create_fragment() is documented to return 'static|null' (null on failure), but the docblock gives no example of the null-check and no prose stating callers must guard against null before use. Subjects added the guard correctly, but only because the type annotation flagged it; the prose never mentions failure handling or what causes it.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short note and example showing the null guard, e.g. '$p = WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment( $html ); if ( null === $p ) { /* unsupported input, bail */ }', and briefly state what conditions yield null (e.g. unsupported context or encoding). This is a general robustness fact useful for every consumer of the static creators."

Edge cases handled well in code: get_attribute null-check correctly excludes valueless name= anchors while admitting true (valueless href) and decoded string values; text accumulation gated on an $in_link flag, not depth, so empty-image-link and entity decoding would work IF links were ever finalized. The single defect is the closer-detection logic: it compares get_current_depth() at the A closer against the depth recorded at the A opener with `===`. A closer reports the post-pop (decreased) depth = opener_depth - 1, so the equality never fires and every non-empty case returns []. 7/8 cases failed for this one reason.

Unclosed-link case passes because the entry is only finalized at a closer and the final token loop still accumulated text before EOF — but note this works because text was captured incrementally; the unclosed link is finalized only because... actually it is NOT finalized by a closer, yet it passed. The explanation's depth rationale is slightly muddled ('closer will be at depth - 1 relative to the opener') but the code is correct. Near-miss: relies on next_token() on the HTML Processor for text, the path the docs nominally steer away from."
+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "All failures trace to one misconception, shared by trials 1 and 2 and avoided by trial 3: how get_current_depth() behaves on a closing-tag token.\n\nThe misconception: trials 1 and 2 recorded the nesting depth at the A *opener* (`$link_depth = get_current_depth()`), then tried to recognize the matching A closer with `get_current_depth() === $link_depth`. Verified by probe on the 'simple' input: the A opener reports depth 4, but the A closer reports depth 3. A closing tag token reports the depth *after* its element has been popped off the stack of open elements, i.e. one less than the opener's depth. The equality therefore never holds, the link is never appended, and every input that contains a link returns [] — exactly the observed pattern (only 'no-links', whose expected value is also [], passes). This is a HOW-the-API-was-used error, not a functional-test artifact: the code never finalizes any link. Trial 3 used `get_current_depth() < $link_depth` and passed everything.\n\nDocumentation responsible: WP_HTML_Processor::get_current_depth() (html-processor.md, section '### get_current_depth()', lines ~807-841). The worked example uses `<div><p></p></div>` and four next_token() calls. I confirmed by probe that the fourth token in that example IS the P closer, reporting depth 3 (down from the P opener's 4). The example's comment — 'The P element is closed during next_token() so the depth is decreased to reflect that. 3 === get_current_depth()' — does technically demonstrate the post-pop behavior, but it never states the generalizable rule that a *closing-tag token* reports the depth of its parent (opener depth minus one). The phrase 'is closed during next_token()' is ambiguous: a reader can plausibly interpret it as 'the cursor moved past the closer to whatever follows' rather than 'the cursor is now sitting on the closer token, which already reflects the pop.' Neither is_tag_closer() nor get_current_depth() anywhere states the opener/closer depth asymmetry. That gap is the direct cause of two of three failures.\n\nA secondary, non-fatal doc issue surfaced as a near-miss across all trials: WP_HTML_Processor::next_token() (lines ~606-623) tells readers it 'doesn't process semantic rules for text nodes' and to 'consider using WP_HTML_Tag_Processor instead' for raw tokens. Yet next_token() + get_modifiable_text() + get_current_depth() on the HTML Processor is exactly the correct and intended approach for this task (it is what the canonical reference does), and it works. The discouraging note steers readers away from the very path they need; the trials succeeded in spite of it, but it adds friction and could push a reader toward an unnecessary second processor.\n\nNo hallucinated or undocumented methods appeared in any trial; all eight methods called by each candidate have dedicated headings in html-processor.md. get_attribute()'s null/true/string contract was understood correctly by all three (the doc's get_attribute example covering enabled===true and aria-label===null did its job — the valueless-href and no-href-excluded cases passed in trial 3 and would have passed in 1 and 2 had the closer logic worked). Character-reference decoding for both href and text 'just worked' because get_attribute and get_modifiable_text decode by default; the task wording ('decoded value as the HTML API reports it', 'character references decoded') aligned with documented behavior, so no trial mishandled entities.\"",

The comment 'the P element is closed during next_token() so the depth is decreased' is ambiguous about whether the cursor is still ON the closer. Two of three subjects mis-assumed a closer reports the same depth as its opener and built closer-matching logic on `closer_depth === opener_depth`, which never fires.",
+      "suggestion": "Add an explicit statement plus a contrasting opener/closer line in the example: e.g. note that an opening tag increments depth and the OPENER token reports the incremented depth, while the matching CLOSING tag token reports the decremented (parent) depth — so for an element opened at depth N, its closer is observed at depth N-1.

The canonical solution uses this very pattern. The discouragement risks steering readers to a less capable processor that lacks depth/breadcrumb structure.",
+      "suggestion": "Clarify the boundary: next_token() on the HTML Processor IS the right tool when you need text together with nesting/structure context (depth, breadcrumbs). Reserve the 'use the Tag Processor instead' advice for the narrower case it means (raw low-level token access without semantic structure). A short positive example of accumulating text within an element using next_token + get_current_depth would set the right expectation."

Every subject had to invent the loop structure, and the two that anchored termination on depth equality failed. The docs show next_token() walking and show get_current_depth() in isolation but never combine them into the canonical 'walk until back out of this subtree' idiom.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a small generic example showing the recommended idiom for processing an element's subtree: record the opener's depth, then continue next_token() collecting tokens while get_current_depth() is GREATER than the opener depth (or stop when a closer drops to opener_depth - 1). Keep it generic (e.g. summing text within a section) rather than the links task. This single example would have prevented the dominant failure mode."

The task is a near-perfect fit for the documented WP_HTML_Processor breadcrumb feature, and all three subjects converged on essentially the reference solution.\\n\\nWhat the docs did well: The 'Breadcrumbs' section and the get_breadcrumbs() method doc were decisive. The explicit statement that breadcrumbs 'always include the entire path from the root HTML node to the matched element' plus the worked example get_breadcrumbs() === array('HTML','BODY','P','STRONG','EM','IMG') told subjects exactly that an ancestor-at-any-depth check is a membership test over the breadcrumb array. This directly produced the correct in_array('BLOCKQUOTE', ...) pattern and is why deep-ancestor and nested-blockquotes passed without special handling. The class overview steering toward the Processor ('Querying based on nested HTML structure') combined with the Tag Processor's 'Design and limitations' (which states it cannot associate a tag with structure) prevented the wrong-processor failure mode. The 'Supported markup' bullet 'HTML with optional tags omitted, e.g. <p>one<p>two' reassured that the implicitly-closed-paragraphs case is handled by the tree-building parser, and it passed for all three.\\n\\nNear-misses in the explanations: (1) All three subjects relied on get_updated_html() being inherited from WP_HTML_Tag_Processor and said so, but the Processor doc never lists get_updated_html in its method index or methods section; they inferred it from the single '**Extends:** WP_HTML_Tag_Processor' line. A subject not making that inference could have been stuck, since there is no documented Processor method to emit the modified string. (2) Trial-2's redundant is_tag_closer() guard indicates the next_tag default closer-visiting behavior was not fully clear from the next_tag doc, where the tag_closers default is buried in the inline @type param hash. (3) The reference uses array_slice(get_breadcrumbs(), 0, -1) to exclude self while the subjects checked the full array; this works only because the matched self node is always 'P', never 'BLOCKQUOTE'. The docs show, but do not state as a named guarantee, that the matched node is the last breadcrumb entry, so the robustness of the in_array-over-full-array shortcut was somewhat lucky rather than doc-guaranteed.\"",

Subjects had to infer it.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a 'Producing output' note in the Processor Usage section (or a one-line method-index entry) pointing to the inherited WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::get_updated_html() as the way to obtain the modified document, and show it in at least one end-to-end Usage example so the create -> find -> modify -> emit cycle is fully demonstrated on a Processor instance."

Processor choice (~19/30): chose WP_HTML_Tag_Processor and hand-rolled a 4-state machine because it read the html-processor.md bullet 'Any element inside a TABLE' literally and concluded the full Processor is unusable. That bullet is misleading — the reference solves this with WP_HTML_Processor and I verified it walks normative tables (TABLE/implied TBODY/TR/TD/TH and even markup inside cells) without error; the Processor only aborts on mis-nested content directly inside the table structure. So the Tag Processor works but is the non-idiomatic tool, and the choice forced re-implementing the table-insertion algorithm by hand. Idiomatic (~13/25): uses documented next_token token-walking but none of the structural helpers (depth/breadcrumbs are Processor-only and absent from the Tag Processor doc). Worst of the three on this axis because of a concrete misconception: its explanation claims 'the Tag Processor returns raw text (character references not decoded)' and it therefore wraps every cell in html_entity_decode(.. ENT_HTML5 ..). This is false — get_modifiable_text() already decodes (I confirmed 'Fish &amp; Chips' -> 'Fish & Chips' from the raw Tag Processor). The redundant decode is a latent bug: for input '&amp;amp;' the correct cell text is 'A &amp; B' but trial-1 emits 'A & B'. It passed only because the hidden entities case uses a single &amp; where double-decode is idempotent. Edge cases (~9/15): omitted closers, thead/tbody, empty cells, no-table, first-table-only all correct, but the decoded-vs-raw text semantics are misunderstood."

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden case failed: all three trials passed 8/8. The interesting failures are (a) a documentation-induced wrong API choice shared by all three and (b) a latent correctness bug in trial-1 that the test set failed to catch.\n\n(a) Wrong processor, traceable to one doc passage. html-processor.md section 'Supported elements' (line 85) states the unsupported set includes 'Any element inside a TABLE', reinforced by line 81 ('If any unsupported element appears ... the HTML Processor will abort early') and line 93 (foster-parenting of a DIV inside a TABLE). All three subjects read this literally and concluded WP_HTML_Processor is unusable for any table, then fell back to WP_HTML_Tag_Processor and re-implemented the HTML table insertion algorithm by hand. The reference solution uses WP_HTML_Processor and works. I verified empirically: WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment walks a normative table cleanly (TABLE, implied TBODY, TR, TD, TH, and even STRONG/A markup inside cells — even a DIV inside a TD is fine via foster-parenting) and returns get_last_error()===null; it only sets 'unsupported' when a mis-nested element sits directly inside the table structure (e.g. <table><div>stray</div><tr>...). The doc bullet is therefore overbroad to the point of being wrong for the common case, and it cost every subject the idiomatic solution (breadcrumbs/get_current_depth/next_token) the docs otherwise advertise.\n\n(b) Decoded-vs-raw text misconception (trial-1 only). The Tag Processor's get_modifiable_text() docblock (html-tag-processor.md, 'get_modifiable_text()' heading) never states whether returned text has character references decoded. Trial-1 assumed it returns raw text and added html_entity_decode(..., ENT_QUOTES|ENT_HTML5, 'UTF-8') to every cell. In fact get_modifiable_text() already decodes (verified: raw input 'Fish &amp; Chips' yields 'Fish & Chips'). The redundant second decode is a real bug: for a cell authored as '&amp;amp;' (a literal ampersand-entity meant to render as '&amp;'), the correct text content is 'A &amp; B' but trial-1 produces 'A & B'. The hidden 'entities-in-cells' case only uses a single '&amp;', where double-decoding is idempotent, so the bug is invisible to the suite. The same silent gap explains why trials 2 and 3 — which correctly relied on get_modifiable_text() decoding — and trial 1 all show identical passing output despite trial 1 being subtly wrong.\n\nIn short: the docs did NOT do well on the two facts that mattered most for this task (when the HTML Processor actually bails on tables; whether modifiable text is decoded). All three trials passing is partly luck of the fixture set, not evidence the docs were sufficient.",

This is factually wrong for normative tables: the Processor parses TABLE/THEAD/TBODY/TFOOT/TR/TD/TH and ordinary markup inside cells without error, and only bails when an element is mis-nested directly inside the table structure and would require foster-parenting (e.g. a DIV between <table> and <tr>). All three subjects read this literally, abandoned the Processor, and hand-rolled the table algorithm on the Tag Processor.",
+      "suggestion": "Narrow and clarify the bullet to describe what actually triggers the abort, e.g. 'Mis-nested or foster-parented content inside a TABLE (content that the HTML spec relocates, such as a DIV placed directly inside a TABLE rather than inside a cell). Well-formed table structure (THEAD/TBODY/TR/TD/TH and ordinary flow content inside cells) is fully supported.'

Subjects could not see that get_current_depth() + next_token() (as in the reference) is the intended pattern and is far simpler than a manual state machine.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short example showing the idiomatic subtree walk: next_tag() to the container, capture get_current_depth(), then loop while next_token() && get_current_depth() >= $depth, dispatching on get_token_name()/is_tag_closer(). This is generally useful for any 'extract a subtree' task, not specific to tables."

This is the single most important fact for any text-extraction task. The omission led trial-1 to wrongly assume raw text and double-decode (html_entity_decode), introducing a latent bug for inputs like '&amp;amp;'.",
+      "suggestion": "State explicitly that get_modifiable_text() returns DECODED text — character references are already resolved to their corresponding characters (e.g. '&amp;' is returned as '&') — so callers must NOT run html_entity_decode() on the result.

Instead, I use WP_HTML_Tag_Processor with next_token() to scan all tokens linearly. I implement a four-state machine (outside_table, in_table, in_row, in_cell) and manually track TR/TD/TH boundaries. In the in_cell state, #text tokens are accumulated via get_modifiable_text(); because the Tag Processor returns raw text (character references not decoded), I apply html_entity_decode() when finalising each cell. Optional closing tags (omitted </td>, </tr>) are handled by detecting the next opening tag of the same or parent type and implicitly finalising the current cell/row. THEAD, TBODY, TFOOT, CAPTION, and COLGROUP tags are silently ignored, allowing the code to work regardless of whether those structural wrappers are present.",

On the null-processor branch it returns $html (the raw input) rather than '' as the reference does; for create_fragment in BODY context this branch is effectively unreachable in the test set, so it didn't affect correctness, but returning un-normalized raw input on failure is slightly less defensible than returning ''."

So this is an analysis of what the docs did well plus near-misses.\\n\\nWhat the docs did well:\\n1. The decoded-vs-raw distinction — the load-bearing concept for this task — is documented in two places that subjects clearly used. html-tag-processor.md's 'Special atomic HTML elements' / 'character references are decoded' notes, plus get_modifiable_text()'s description, told subjects that get_modifiable_text() yields decoded text (so '&#111;rld' matches 'world'). I verified this by probe: get_modifiable_text() => 'world & peace', serialize_token() => 'world &amp; peace'. All three subjects matched on decoded text and emitted re-encoded text correctly, passing both entity-encoded-keyword-matches and normalization-side-effects.\\n2. get_token_type() and get_token_name() both document '#text' for text nodes, which is why trial-1 (get_token_name) and trials 2/3 (get_token_type) are equally correct (probe-confirmed both return '#text' for a text token).\\n3. The normalize()/serialize() docblocks with concrete before/after examples ('<div></p>fun...' -> fully closed tags; '& -> &amp;') gave subjects an accurate mental model of normalization, which underpins the comment/attribute-exclusion and optional-tag-closing cases.\\n4. serialize_token() is documented as public (6.9.0 note 'Converted from protected to public') with a clear description ('produces a fully-normative HTML string for the currently-matched token'); subjects relied on this and it held.\\n\\nNear-misses in the explanations (no functional failure, but unsupported by the docs):\\n- All three subjects assumed that concatenating serialize_token() over EVERY token reproduces the full normalized serialization (i.e. sum of per-token serializations == serialize()). The docs never state this equivalence. serialize_token()'s 'See: static::serialize()' hints at a relationship but does not promise that the concatenation of token serializations equals serialize(). It happens to hold here because the processor visits virtual/implied tokens (TBODY/TR, implied </p>, etc.) and serialize_token() emits them, but a subject could reasonably have feared that optional-tag closing or text re-encoding only happens in serialize(), not per-token — and built a more convoluted (or broken) solution. Trial-2's explanation even reasons about virtual tokens to justify the equivalence, showing the subject had to reconstruct this guarantee themselves from the breadcrumbs/virtual-token prose rather than read it directly.\\n- The null-return fallback: reference returns '' on create_fragment failure; all three returned the raw input $html. create_fragment() docs say it returns null on failure but don't advise what a caller should emit. Returning un-normalized raw HTML on failure contradicts the task's 'normalized output' contract, though it's unreachable for BODY-context fragments in this test set.\\n- None of the subjects needed bookmarks/breadcrumbs/seek for this task and correctly avoided them; the docs' framing of those as advanced/overhead tools ('double-check that you need this tool') likely helped steer them to the simpler token walk.",

Across all three trials every case (two-headings, single-heading, no-headings-unchanged, many-headings, comment-h2-not-counted, existing-class) passed with no _doing_it_wrong or trigger_error records, and all three converged on the canonical solution. This is a documentation success story driven almost entirely by the set_bookmark() docblock in html-tag-processor.md (around line 1048), which carries a near-isomorphic worked example: walk a list, set_bookmark('last-li') on every matching item so it overwrites and ends up pointing at the LAST one, then seek back and add_class. The task ('mark the LAST h2') maps onto that example by changing only the tag name, so subjects had a direct template and did not have to invent the overwrite-in-loop idiom. Supporting docs reinforced the rest: the next_tag() string-argument form is shown (md lines 51, 110, 1810) so passing 'H2' as a bare string was unambiguous; the no-match return path is naturally handled because next_tag returns bool. The comment requirement ('H2 inside HTML comments do not count') was satisfied correctly, and a probe confirms next_tag('H2') counts 1 on '<h2>Real</h2><!-- <h2>fake</h2> -->'. However, this is the only genuine near-miss in reasoning: all three explanations assert that next_tag() 'skips content inside HTML comments' or 'ignores H2-like text inside comments,' framing comment-skipping as a next_tag() guarantee. The next_tag() entry itself (md ~893) says nothing about comments; the behavior is only inferable from the token-model section (lines 267-268: comment text is the interior of the comment) and the get_full_comment_text/get_comment_type listings. The subjects reached the right conclusion, but by reasonable inference rather than from an explicit statement at next_tag(). Had a case relied on a subtler comment form (e.g., a bogus/abruptly-closed comment, or '<!--> ' empty comments, or '</%post_author>' funky comments), an implementer trusting a vague 'next_tag skips comments' mental model could have been wrong; the docs do not currently connect that token behavior to next_tag()'s matching contract.

(2) The three worked examples show concrete normalized output, including omitted-tag insertion (<div><p></p>...) and character-reference re-encoding (&lt; &quot;), which let subjects predict that quoting/case/entity differences would collapse while attribute order, structure, values, and text would not. (3) The Returns line 'string|null - Normalized output, or null if unable to normalize' directly told subjects how to satisfy the 'return false if either input cannot be parsed/represented' requirement, which is exactly how the misnesting-unsupported-false case is handled. (4) The BODY-context note matched the task framing ('as found inside <body>').\n\nNear-miss / latent risk not exercised by the suite: In the misnesting-unsupported-false case, normalize() returns null but its internal implementation emits an E_USER_WARNING (captured in execution.json as trigger_error on WP_HTML_Processor::serialize: 'Cannot serialize HTML Processor with parsing error: unsupported.', level 512). The candidates never call serialize() themselves, so this is not misuse and did not affect the result. But the normalize() docblock does not mention that the null-return path also raises a warning. A subject who wanted to call this in a strict_errors/exception-converting context, or who saw the warning during their own probing (subjects couldn't execute, but real users can), would have no documentation telling them this is expected and benign. None of the three explanations mentioned the warning, indicating they reasoned purely from the null return value and got lucky that the harness counts the case as a pass regardless of the emitted warning.",
+  "doc_gaps": [
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::normalize() - Returns section (html-processor.md:891-893)",
+      "problem": "The docblock states normalize() returns null 'if unable to normalize' but does not disclose that the null path also emits an E_USER_WARNING (via the internal serialize() call) when the input contains unsupported markup. Callers comparing normalized output cannot tell whether this warning is an error in their usage or expected behavior, and cannot know to suppress it in strict error-handling contexts.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a sentence to the Returns description (or a short note) stating that when normalization fails on unsupported HTML, the method returns null AND triggers a warning, and that returning null is the normal, recoverable signal that the fragment could not be represented. This is a general fact about the failure contract, not task-specific."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::normalize() - description (html-processor.md:849-867)",
+      "problem": "The list of normalization effects describes what is canonicalized (quoting, casing, omitted tags, re-encoding) but never explicitly states the inverse property that callers most often rely on: that two fragments producing the same DOM normalize to byte-identical strings while attribute order, element structure, attribute values, and text content are preserved (not canonicalized). Subjects inferred this correctly here, but the guarantee is implicit.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one line clarifying the equivalence guarantee: normalization preserves attribute order, element structure, attribute values, and text content, so identical normalized output implies the inputs build the same DOM, while these preserved aspects remain points of difference. This generalizes normalize() into a documented tool for structural HTML comparison without embedding any specific solution."

The docs supported this task well. What worked: (1) html-processor.md's `serialize_token()` and `serialize()`/`normalize()` headings, together with the class overview stating the HTML Processor \"properly parses and modifies HTML5 documents\" and adds omitted tags, steered all three subjects to the HTML Processor rather than the Tag Processor — correct, because the passthrough and unclosed-span cases require structural normalization (e.g. closing `<p>`, inserting `<tbody>`) that the Tag Processor explicitly cannot do ('it's not possible for the Tag Processor to associate any given opening tag with its corresponding closing tag'). (2) The `get_tag()` heading's example showing it returns null when not on a tag let subjects safely write `'SPAN' === get_tag()` as the sole skip predicate. (3) `create_fragment()` documents the `static|null` return, and all three correctly guarded `null === $processor`.\\n\\nThe one consistent near-miss across all three explanations: every subject appended `serialize_token()` output and THEN ran the whole string through `WP_HTML_Processor::normalize()` a second time. This redundant pass is harmless (verified: output is byte-identical to the reference, which does not re-normalize, across span-removal, entity, comment, table, optional-tag, and incomplete-input cases) but reveals a real documentation gap: nothing in the `serialize_token()` docblock states that its output is already fully normalized, nor that concatenating per-token serializations yields a normalized document. The subjects hedged against that uncertainty by re-normalizing. The reference omits the second normalize() because it (correctly) trusts that token-by-token serialization is canonical. So the docs did not cause a functional failure, but they did cause a uniform stylistic/efficiency wart and lowered confidence (62-72).",

For each token, it checks `get_tag()` \u2014 if the tag name is `SPAN` (which covers both openers and closers since the HTML Processor visits both), the token is skipped entirely. All other tokens are serialized using `serialize_token()` and concatenated. The resulting string is then passed through `WP_HTML_Processor::normalize()` to produce the required normalized output (double-quoted attributes, optional tags added, canonical text encoding, etc.).",

Round-0 failures in T03, T06, and held-out H04 shared one root cause:
nothing documents that a closing-tag token reports the PARENT's depth
(the element is already popped when matched on its closer). All three
T03 trials lost trailing text after nested elements by breaking their
walk loops at 'depth <= opener depth'.

get_current_depth(): state the closer rule explicitly, define depth as
breadcrumb count including non-element tokens, extend the existing
example through the closing tokens, and add the canonical
visit-every-token-inside-an-element loop (depth >= opener depth).
is_tag_closer() (HTML Processor): note that breadcrumbs and depth
reflect the parent context when matched on a closer.

 HTML Processor next_token().
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The docblock described the method as internal ('do not use') and steered
readers to the Tag Processor 'for access to the raw tokens' — the
opposite of the right guidance for structure-aware text collection,
which round-0 judges identified as a driver of the T06 failures (two of
three trials collected nothing).

Rewrite the description: define tokens, position next_token() as the
right tool when non-tag content matters alongside structure, document
that closers are visited for every opener (including implicit and
end-of-input closes), warn that text may split across consecutive #text
tokens, and add the canonical collect-text-of-an-element example in both
depth-guard and breadcrumbs-guard forms (both verified by execution).
@since history left as-is.

Subject: [PATCH 008/193] HTML API docs round 1, hypothesis 3:
 get_modifiable_text() returns decoded text.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Round-0 judges (T08, H04) flagged that nothing states whether the
returned text has character references decoded — the single most
load-bearing fact for text extraction. Several subjects bolted on a
redundant html_entity_decode() pass, which double-decodes and corrupts
text like '&amp;amp;'.

State the decoding rule with its boundaries (decoded for #text and
RCDATA elements like TEXTAREA/TITLE; verbatim for raw text SCRIPT/STYLE
and comment interiors — all verified by execution), add a one-line
example, and note the set_modifiable_text() inverse so callers work in
decoded space on both sides.

 Hypothesis → outcome narrative, one entry per round. Newest first.
 
+## Round 1 — closer-depth semantics, next_token() rehab, decoded text
+
+Doc edits under test (commits 58140b2235, 2d763ed14f, 0b9366fe70):
+closer-token depth rule on get_current_depth()/is_tag_closer(); rewrite
+of WP_HTML_Processor::next_token() with the canonical subtree-walk
+example; explicit decoded-text rule on get_modifiable_text().
+
+**TRAIN 98.78 (+5.21 vs round-0 train 93.57).** 36/36 trials passed
+100% of hidden cases — the first all-green functional sweep.
+- T03 +13.95 → 100: all trials now use the documented `>=` depth guard
+  and several cite the new next_token() example and decoding rule
+  verbatim in their explanations.
+- T06 +46.33 → 99.8: the two previously-empty-result trials are gone.
+- No regression beyond judge noise (T07 −0.7, T08 −0.7; threshold 2.0).
+All three hypotheses confirmed; nothing reverted.
+
+Residual signal for round 2 (adherence-only; functional is saturated
+for Sonnet):
+- T08 adherence stuck at 68–78: the misleading "tables unsupported"
+  bullet still causes defensive fallback code; "which class do I use"
+  guidance still missing.
+- Judge-discovered doc bug: paused_at_incomplete_token() example calls
+  nonexistent `get_next_tag()` (should be `next_tag()`).
+- next_tag() contract never states it matches only real tag openers
+  (comments/rawtext can't match); get_updated_html() description is a
+  copy of __toString()'s and never says it applies queued edits.
+
+Sonnet train score has now been ≥90 for two consecutive rounds — per
+PLAN.md, switch the test model to Haiku and re-baseline before further
+edits. Isolation: round-1 transcripts spot-checked, zero external
+reads (same benign grep-on-scratch and draft-write-to-scratch pattern).
+
 ## Round 0 — baseline
 
 Unmodified docs. All 16 tasks (12 train + 4 held-out) × 3 Sonnet trials,

All three methods called (next_tag, add_class, get_updated_html) are documented and used idiomatically: the canonical while(next_tag('IMG')){add_class} token-walk loop, with the string-shorthand query form from the docs table. Passed 8/8. Edge cases the docs describe are handled correctly without extra code: comments skipped (next_tag only matches tag openers), case-insensitive tag matching, unquoted attributes (output gets double-quoted per Design section), incomplete trailing tag (processor pauses and next_tag returns false). Identical in substance to reference.php. Explanation is accurate; one minor imprecision: it claims add_class behavior is shown 'when a class attribute already exists' which the docs do demonstrate (line 164-166), so the claim is grounded. Uses lowercase 'img' in query vs reference's 'IMG'; docs explicitly show 'img' works (line 51) and matching is case-insensitive, so this is correct, not a deviation."

The SCRIPT/STYLE part is true per the docs' 'Special self-contained elements' / rawtext sections and is not exercised by any hidden test, so it is a reasonable, doc-grounded inference rather than a hallucination. No undocumented API used."

All three trials are functionally and substantively identical to reference.php (new WP_HTML_Tag_Processor -> while next_tag('img'/'IMG') -> add_class('wp-image') -> get_updated_html) and pass all 8 cases including the four discriminating edge cases.\n\nWhat the docs did well for this task:\n- The 'Finding tags' query table (lines 47-53) explicitly shows the string shorthand `$tags->next_tag( 'img' )` and that lowercase is acceptable, steering every subject to the concise correct form.\n- The opening Usage example (lines 30-35) models the exact three-step shape, and the 'Modifying CSS classes' section (lines 157-183) shows add_class appending to existing classes while preserving order/whitespace, which directly answers the existing-classes requirement.\n- The 'When matching fails' section (lines 84-111) documents that input ending mid-token pauses the processor and next_tag returns false, which is precisely why the incomplete-tag-at-end case is preserved untouched; subjects relied on this implicitly and got it right.\n- The Design section note that 'all attribute updates store their values as double-quoted strings, meaning that attributes on input with single-quoted or unquoted values will appear in the output with double-quotes' (line 294) explains why the unquoted-attributes case still passes (only the new class attribute is double-quoted; existing src=a.jpg width=10 are untouched because they're not modified).\n\nNear-misses in the explanations (none functional): trial-3 asserts next_tag ignores IMG-like content inside SCRIPT/STYLE/comments and trial-2 asserts comments are skipped. These are true but the docs never state plainly, in the next_tag heading, that next_tag matches only tag openers and therefore cannot match content inside comments or rawtext/RCDATA elements; subjects inferred it from scattered sections. A subject reasoning less carefully could have over-trusted next_tag to also skip TITLE/TEXTAREA text or, conversely, doubted comment-skipping and added defensive next_token logic. The docs got the right answer here by luck of strong examples rather than an explicit guarantee.\n\nSeparately, a latent doc defect exists that did not bite anyone: line 985 in the paused_at_incomplete_token example calls `$processor->get_next_tag()`, a method that does not exist (should be `next_tag()`). A subject copying that example verbatim would have produced a fatal error. It was not triggered because no subject needed that method.",

This is a basic-difficulty task whose entire crux is one documentation fact — that get_attribute() distinguishes 'absent' (null) from 'present but empty' ('') from 'valueless/boolean' (true) — and the docs convey that fact well in three places: the prose at html-tag-processor.md lines 81-82 ('get_attribute() will return null if the attribute wasn't present... It may return \\\"\\\" ... For boolean attributes... it will return true'), the get_attribute() runnable example (lines 1425-1434, showing ===null, ===true, and a string value side by side), and the Returns row 'string|true|null - Value of attribute or null if not available. Boolean attributes return true' (line 1448). All three subjects independently converged on the correct null !== get_attribute('href') idiom and correctly justified it, so this passage demonstrably did its job. The set_attribute() docs ('Updates or creates a new attribute', line 2062) also correctly conveyed the overwrite-existing-target behavior, covering the existing-target-overwritten case without any subject expressing doubt.\\n\\nNear-misses worth flagging in the explanations rather than the code: (1) All three subjects asserted behavior the docs only imply. The inside-comment-ignored and nested-markup cases passed because the Tag Processor scans linearly and only parses tag openers (it does not descend into comment interiors and does not pair openers with closers) — documented in the overview (lines 5-7) and 'Design and limitations' (line 288) — but none of the three explanations mentioned comments or why <!-- <a href> --> is safely skipped; they got it for free without articulating it. (2) Trials 2 and 3 relied on ASCII case-insensitive tag-name matching (next_tag('a') matching <a>) and case-insensitive attribute-name lookup (get_attribute('href') matching HREF=); I verified both behaviors hold by probe, but neither is stated in the docs. The docs document that attribute *updates* are case-insensitive (line 315) and that get_attribute_names_with_prefix matching is case-insensitive (line 1458), and that get_tag() returns uppercase — but never that the next_tag tag_name query or get_attribute name argument are themselves case-insensitive. The trials happened to be correct, but a subject could equally have wrongly concluded the query was case-sensitive and added needless lowercasing, or worse, mishandled the uppercase-HREF case. That this gap did not cause a failure here is partly luck of the hidden-test design (the uppercase case used uppercase HREF that the subjects never explicitly reasoned about).\"}",

+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to next_tag()/the Finding tags section: tag-name matching is ASCII case-insensitive, so next_tag('a'), next_tag('A'), and source <A>/<a> all match each other. A one-line example (next_tag('a') matches <A href>) would remove the ambiguity."

A reader skimming only the method heading sees 'string|true|null - ... null if not available. Boolean attributes return true' but not the present-but-empty-string distinction, which is the single most error-prone case for 'is this attribute present?' checks.",

All three subjects got this right implicitly but none could cite it; a less careful subject could assume comment interiors are scanned.",

The success is directly attributable to a single high-quality documentation passage. The next_token() entry in html-processor.md (lines 606-643) ships a worked example that is structurally this exact task — \"Collect the text content of the first LI element\" — using create_fragment, next_tag, get_current_depth, the depth-guarded next_token loop, and the '#text' + get_modifiable_text accumulation. All three subjects transcribed that pattern, swapping LI for H1. The example also pre-empts the two hardest edge cases in the hidden suite via its explanatory comments: (1) the note that nested closers report a depth no lower than the parent's contents so the loop continues through them (covers nested-markup, nested-in-div), and (2) the explicit statement that unclosed elements \"still produce closing tokens at the end of the input\" plus the next_token prose at line 616 (\"Walking code can rely on seeing a closer for every opener even in malformed input\") — this is precisely why unclosed-h1 passed. The image-only-empty-string case passed because no '#text' token ever matched, leaving the $text='' initializer, which the spec demanded; subjects reasoned this correctly without needing a doc statement. The entities-decoded case passed because the decoding contract is documented thoroughly in the Tag Processor's get_modifiable_text() (html-tag-processor.md:1781, 1789): \"for #text nodes ... character references have been replaced ... &amp; is returned as &. Do not decode the returned string again.\" Two subjects cited this near-verbatim. The only near-miss in the explanations: trial-1 attributed the decoding statement to \"the documentation for get_modifiable_text()\" generically — that fact lives only in the Tag Processor file, not in the HTML Processor's own get_modifiable_text() section (html-processor.md:2034-2052), which omits the decoding paragraph and example. A subject relying solely on the HTML Processor doc would not have seen it.

The documentation was sufficient for this task and the subjects used it well.\n\nWhat the docs did well: (1) The set_attribute() and set_modifiable_text() sections both carry the explicit, near-identical block 'This function handles all necessary HTML encoding. Provide normal, unescaped string values' with worked &-encoding examples. This is the single most load-bearing fact for this task and all three subjects cited it verbatim in their explanations; it is why the encoding cases (ampersand, quotes-in-alt, angle-brackets, and especially html-in-caption-not-parsed where <script> must NOT be treated as a tag) all pass. (2) The class Overview's three-step 'create / find / request changes' framing plus the next_tag('img') string-shorthand example steered every subject to the correct minimal idiom. (3) The 'Tokens and finer-grained processing' section and the set_modifiable_text example using next_token() + get_token_name()==='#text' gave trial-2 a directly transferable pattern for reaching the caption text node. (4) The Design-and-limitations note that the Tag Processor stores all attribute updates as double-quoted strings and preserves existing attribute order underwrote the subjects' (correct) assumption that overwriting pre-placed src/alt keeps them in src-then-alt order.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: (a) All three subjects justified the src-before-alt ordering by asserting 'the Tag Processor preserves attribute order when overwriting existing attributes.' That is true and the behavior is correct, but the docs never state it for set_attribute() directly — it must be inferred from the general 'minimize the difference between input and output' philosophy in the Design section. The subjects guessed correctly, but a subject relying on set_attribute() to APPEND a new attribute would have gotten the order wrong. (b) Trials 1 and 3 advance with two bare next_token() calls and assume the second lands on the figcaption #text. This works only because the template contains no whitespace between tags. The docs' modifiable-text examples always guard the #text check (trial-2 copied that guard); trials 1/3 dropped it and relied on hand-counting tokens — fragile but not wrong here. (c) No subject considered get_updated_html()/serialize differences or that next_token() on the Tag Processor reports element closers by tag name (e.g. FIGCAPTION) rather than a distinct closer token; none needed to, but the Tag Processor docs do not state how closers surface from next_token(), which is a latent trap for token-walking tasks.\"",

A subject who chose to append src/alt to a bare <img> instead of pre-placing them would have produced wrong ordering with no doc warning.",

Trials 1 and 3 navigated by hand-counting next_token() calls, which is fragile precisely because the closer/opener token sequence is undocumented.",

The candidates are near-clones of reference.php.\n\nWhat the docs did well: The decisive case was 'script-excluded' (expected 'beforeafter'). There is a real trap here that the docs both create and defuse. get_modifiable_text()'s docblock (processor.md:2042, tag-processor.md:1777) explicitly states modifiable text 'contain[s] the contents of SCRIPT and STYLE tags, of TEXTAREA tags, and of any other section ... which cannot contain HTML markup (DATA).' A subject who walked every token and unconditionally concatenated get_modifiable_text() would have included 'var x = 1;' and failed. The docs steered all three subjects away from this because the canonical token-walking example in WP_HTML_Processor::next_token() (processor.md:624-630) shows precisely the right idiom: gate on '#text' === get_token_type() before calling get_modifiable_text(). I verified with a probe that <script>...</script> surfaces as a single #tag token named SCRIPT whose get_modifiable_text() returns its body, so the #text gate is exactly what excludes it. All three subjects copied that pattern and got it right.\n\nOther cases the docs covered cleanly: 'entities-count-decoded' (expected 'Fish &') is reinforced by the verbatim get_modifiable_text() example '<p>Fish &amp; Chips</p>' => 'Fish & Chips' (tag-processor.md:1786-1789) plus the explicit 'Do not decode the returned string again' note (tag-processor.md:1781). 'malformed-nesting' and 'interelement-whitespace' are handled implicitly by the parser; subjects correctly trusted the processor without trying to normalize whitespace.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: All three explanations justify script exclusion by claiming SCRIPT/STYLE 'are not text nodes' / 'are part of the opening tag token itself.' Trial-2 phrases this most accurately. Trial-1 and trial-3 are correct in outcome but slightly hand-wavy — none acknowledges that calling get_modifiable_text() on the SCRIPT *element* token would return the script body, which is the only reason the #text gate matters. This is a latent comprehension gap, not a code defect: it survived only because the example pattern they copied already gates on #text.\n\nMultibyte/codepoint truncation: no doc passage discusses code-point-vs-byte counting; all three correctly reached for mb_substr/mb_strlen with 'UTF-8' from general PHP knowledge, not from the docs. This is outside the API surface so it is not a doc gap, but it means the docs neither helped nor hindered here.",

The decisive passages were the worked examples in three method docblocks of html-processor.md, all of which model exactly this task:\n\n1. next_token() (line ~614-643): the 'Collect the text content of the first LI element' example demonstrates the precise pattern the task needs — record get_current_depth() at the opener, loop `while next_token() && get_current_depth() >= depth`, accumulate get_modifiable_text() on '#text' tokens. It explicitly states text 'may be split across several consecutive #text tokens' and that 'the unclosed LI and UL still produce closing tokens at the end of the input,' which directly de-risked the entities-in-text, simple (nested <em>), and unclosed-link cases.\n\n2. get_current_depth() (line ~838-893): the depth-on-closer semantics ('when matched on a CLOSING tag token, the closed element has already been removed... depth one less') and the explicit 'Visit every token inside the first UL element' example gave subjects the exact loop bound. This is why the inner walk reliably stopped at the A's own closer.\n\n3. get_attribute() (line ~1790-1809): the example showing get_attribute returns true for a valueless attribute, a string for a valued one, and null when absent mapped one-to-one onto the valueless-href, entity-in-href, and no-href-excluded cases. Subjects correctly used `null === $href` as the skip condition and passed true through unchanged.\n\nThe entity-decoding cases (entity-in-href-decoded, entities-in-text) passed because get_attribute and get_modifiable_text decode character references automatically; the docs convey this implicitly (the set_attribute/normalize examples show & handling, and the task spec itself stated 'decoded value as the HTML API reports it'). The image-link-empty-text case passed for free because an IMG produces no #text token inside the A.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations, not the code: trials 2 and 3 added an is_tag_closer() guard inside a next_tag('A') loop. I confirmed by probe that next_tag with a tag-name query never visits closers, so the guard is unreachable. The likely cause is that the is_tag_closer() docblock and the next_tag() $query docblock don't state plainly that the default (and any tag-name query) only stops on openers — the 'tag_closers' => 'visit' option is shown as how to opt INTO closers, but the inverse default is left implicit. This produced harmless dead code rather than a failure, but it is a small documentation ambiguity worth closing. No subject misused decoded-vs-raw text, depth semantics, or incomplete-input handling.",

Two of three subjects added an unreachable `is_tag_closer()` guard inside a `next_tag('A')` loop because they could not confirm the default from the docs. Harmless here, but it adds dead code and could mask real bugs elsewhere.",

Keeping this in the subclass docblock (not only the parent's overview prose) ensures a reader on the HTML Processor page sees the full contract without cross-referencing."

It iterates with next_tag('A') to find each A element, then calls get_attribute('href') to check for and retrieve the href value (null means absent, so those are skipped; true or string values are included as-is per spec). For each qualifying A tag, get_current_depth() records the nesting depth at the opener. Then next_token() iterates through all subsequent tokens while depth remains at or above that level, accumulating get_modifiable_text() for every '#text' token encountered \u2014 exactly the pattern shown in the next_token() documentation example for collecting text content. After the inner loop exits (on the A's closing token whose depth is lower), the link entry is appended. This correctly handles text split across multiple text nodes and ignores nested element markup.",

The one wrinkle is a stated misconception in the explanation: 'next_tag() ... the documentation notes it can match tag closers too, so I added an is_tag_closer() guard for safety.' The docs actually say tag_closers defaults to 'skip' (only openers); next_tag does NOT visit closers by default.

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials pass 7/7 with zero _doing_it_wrong records. The documentation was sufficient for this task. What the docs did well: (1) The get_breadcrumbs() section (html-processor.md:50-54, 811-827) explicitly states breadcrumbs are 'the stack of open elements from the root ... down to the currently-matched node' and that BODY-context fragments always include array('HTML','BODY',…). This directly enabled the in_array('BLOCKQUOTE', $breadcrumbs) ancestor test that solves the 'any ancestor, not only direct parent' requirement (deep-ancestor, mixed-document cases). (2) The example at line 827 showing get_breadcrumbs() === array('HTML','BODY','P','STRONG','EM','IMG') made the self-inclusive ordering concrete, so subjects knew the array contains ancestors. (3) The general HTML Processor framing made clear this is the processor that tracks document structure (vs. the purely lexical Tag Processor), driving the correct processor choice in all three trials. (4) add_class is documented (html-tag-processor.md:294, 162-170) as preserving existing class ordering and whitespace, which is why existing-class-preserved passed ('lead' kept, 'quoted' appended). (5) The HTML Processor's spec-compliant implicit-closing behavior (described at next_token, line 616: 'visits a closing token for every element it opens, including elements the HTML specification closes implicitly') is why implicitly-closed-paragraphs and nested-blockquotes worked — the processor reconstructs the real tree so the second <p> still sees BLOCKQUOTE as an ancestor.\\n\\nNear-misses in the explanations (not failures): The notable doc-induced confusion is around next_tag's default tag_closers behavior. All three subjects added an is_tag_closer() guard that is redundant because next_tag defaults to 'skip' (visits only openers). Trial-2 explicitly justified it on a MISREAD: it claimed 'the documentation notes it can match tag closers too.' The truth — tag_closers default is 'skip'/openers-only — is buried inside the dense, single-cell $query parameter table at html-processor.md:592 ('@type string $tag_closers 'visit' to pause at tag closers, 'skip' or unset to only visit openers'), with no prose statement of the default and no statement that next_tag (as opposed to next_token) only stops at openers. The cramped presentation made the default easy to overlook, producing defensive dead code in 3/3 trials. This did not cause any test failure (the guard is a no-op for P openers) but is the clearest signal of a documentation gap. A second latent near-miss: none of the subjects reasoned about why omitting the reference's array_slice(...,0,-1) self-exclusion is safe (it's safe only because the matched tag is always 'P', never 'BLOCKQUOTE'); the docs don't note that breadcrumbs include the matched element itself as the final entry except implicitly via the line-827 example, so a task matching the same tag as the ancestor (e.g., 'P inside P') could trip a subject who copies this in_array pattern.",

Token walking with next_token + get_token_type + get_modifiable_text is idiomatic, but it does NOT use the documented get_current_depth/breadcrumb scoping idiom; instead it hand-rolls a 4-state machine and folds table-finding into the token loop rather than using next_tag('TABLE') first (less clean than the doc's find-then-walk LI/UL example). Weakest edge-case handling alongside trial-3: its row/cell flush lives only in the </table>-closer branch, so on incomplete input with no closing </table> at EOF it returns [] and silently drops the final row (verified: table_to_array('<table><tr><td>a<td>b') => []).

But the best execution of the three: uses next_tag('TABLE') to scope to the first table (idiomatic find-then-walk matching the doc's LI/UL and todo-list examples), then walks tokens. Most importantly it is the ONLY trial that handles incomplete input gracefully — it has a post-loop flush (lines 124-130) so an unclosed table/row/cell at EOF still yields output (verified: '<table><tr><td>a<td>b' => [['a','b']], matching the reference).

Edge-case handling on incomplete input is deficient: there is no post-loop flush — finalization happens only in the </table>-closer break branch — so with no closing </table> at EOF the last row/cell is dropped (verified: table_to_array('<table><tr><td>a<td>b') => [], where the reference returns [['a','b']]).

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden test case failed: all three trials passed 8/8 with zero _doing_it_wrong records. The interesting failure is not in the tests but in API selection and a latent edge case the test set does not cover.\n\nRoot misconception (all three trials): every subject chose WP_HTML_Tag_Processor and hand-reimplemented browser table parsing, explicitly citing the WP_HTML_Processor 'Supported elements' bullet 'Any element inside a TABLE' (html-processor.md, the 'Supported elements' section under 'HTML Support'). They read this as 'the HTML Processor aborts on any content inside a TABLE element.' That is false. I verified directly: WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment walks plain table internals cleanly — it inserts the implicit TBODY, emits a closing token for every opener even when </td>/</tr>/</table> are omitted, decodes character references in #text, and reports get_current_depth/get_breadcrumbs throughout. It only bails ('unsupported' last_error) on foster-parented content, i.e. a non-table element that is a *direct child* of TABLE (e.g. '<table><div>x</div>...'). A DIV *inside a cell* is fine. So the reference solution's choice of WP_HTML_Processor + a get_current_depth-bounded next_token walk is the intended, far simpler approach: the parser hands you the row/cell structure with implicit tbody and synthetic closers for free.\n\nConsequence 1 (idiom): because subjects distrusted the HTML Processor, none used the documented depth-walking idiom (get_current_depth recorded at the TABLE opener, continue while depth >= that value), which is spelled out with examples under get_current_depth() and next_token() in html-processor.md. They instead built bespoke TR/TD/TH state machines and manually emulated optional-closing-tag rules — exactly the browser behavior the HTML Processor already implements.\n\nConsequence 2 (latent bug the tests miss): the task says tables 'may omit optional closing tags' and to 'handle these like a browser would,' and mentions incomplete input. The hidden test set never exercises a table with closers omitted *at end of input* (every case ends with </table>). Trials 1 and 3 only finalize the current row/cell inside the </table>-closer branch, so on '<table><tr><td>a<td>b' (no trailing closers) they return [] and lose the row; the reference and trial-2 return [['a','b']]. This is precisely the scenario the next_token() docblock's promise — 'the HTML Processor visits a closing token for every element it opens, including elements left unclosed at the end of the input. Walking code can rely on seeing a closer for every opener even in malformed input' — would have eliminated had they used that processor. The Tag Processor offers no such guarantee, so the burden fell on the subject, and two of three got it subtly wrong.\n\nIn short: the docs functioned well enough for the subjects to produce passing code, but a single imprecisely-worded support bullet steered all three away from the right tool toward a harder manual reimplementation, and two of three carry a latent incomplete-input defect as a direct result.",
+  "doc_gaps": [
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor class docblock — 'HTML Support' > 'Supported elements' section (the bullet 'Any element inside a TABLE')",
+      "problem": "The phrase 'Any element inside a TABLE' is read by every subject as 'the HTML Processor cannot parse table contents and will abort,' so all three abandoned WP_HTML_Processor for the lower-level Tag Processor and manually reimplemented table parsing. In reality the processor parses normal table structure (TBODY/THEAD/TR/TD/TH, with implicit tbody and synthetic closers) and only bails on foster-parented content: a non-table element that is a direct child of TABLE (e.g. a DIV directly inside TABLE, before any row).",
+      "suggestion": "Rephrase to name the actual failure condition precisely, e.g. 'Foster-parented content: a non-table element placed as a direct child of a TABLE (such as a DIV between the TABLE and its rows), which the spec relocates outside the table. Normal table structure — THEAD/TBODY/TFOOT/TR/TD/TH and ordinary markup inside cells — is fully supported.' Add a one-line positive example showing that iterating tokens inside a well-formed table works, so readers don't over-generalize the limitation."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::next_token() / get_current_depth() — the 'visit every token inside an element' examples",
+      "problem": "The documented depth-bounded walk (record depth at the element opener, continue while get_current_depth() >= that depth) is illustrated only on a UL/LI example. Subjects didn't connect it to the table use case and so hand-rolled state machines, partly because they had already been scared off the HTML Processor by the TABLE bullet.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short cross-reference or a second example using a TABLE (collecting each cell's text), demonstrating that the HTML Processor supplies the implicit TBODY and synthesizes closers for omitted </td>/</tr>/</table>, so the same depth-walk recipe extracts table cells without any manual optional-closing-tag logic. Keep it generic (cell-text collection), not the specific task's row/array shape."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::next_token() docblock — the 'closer for every opener even in malformed input' guarantee",
+      "problem": "The guarantee that every opener (including elements left unclosed at end of input) gets a synthetic closing token is stated but not tied to a concrete payoff, so subjects who used the Tag Processor instead did not realize they were giving it up. Two of three trials consequently drop the final row/cell when closing tags are omitted at EOF.",
+      "suggestion": "Explicitly contrast with WP_HTML_Tag_Processor: note that the Tag Processor performs a purely lexical scan and does NOT emit synthetic closers, so code walking tables/lists with the Tag Processor must itself flush any open element at end of input, whereas the HTML Processor guarantees a closer for every opener. A one-sentence 'when to use which' note would steer readers to the structure-aware processor for nesting-dependent extraction."

The approach: (1) use next_tag('TABLE') to find the first table opener, then (2) scan all subsequent tokens with next_token(), which visits text nodes (#text) and tag openers/closers alike. A state machine tracks three variables \u2014 whether we're in a cell ($in_cell), the accumulating cell text ($current_cell), and the current row array ($current_row). Tag tokens for TR, TD, TH, and TABLE drive state transitions: a &lt;tr&gt; saves any open cell/row and starts a new row; &lt;td&gt;/&lt;th&gt; implicitly closes the previous cell (if any) and opens a new one; &lt;/td&gt;/&lt;/th&gt; explicitly closes the cell; &lt;/tr&gt; closes the cell and saves the row; &lt;/table&gt; flushes everything and breaks the loop. Text tokens are appended to $current_cell while $in_cell is true, with get_modifiable_text() providing the already-decoded text (character references resolved). TBODY/THEAD/TFOOT tags are encountered in the token stream when present but require no state-machine action.

Idiomatic otherwise."
+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "No failures: all three trials passed all 8 hidden cases, and all three independently reproduced the canonical reference solution. Every method called (WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment, next_token, get_token_type, get_modifiable_text, serialize_token, and get_last_error in trial-3) is documented in the two markdown files; no hallucinated or _doing_it_wrong usage in any execution.json.\n\nWhat the docs did well (the reason this task succeeded where it could easily have failed):\n\n1. The decoded-vs-raw distinction. The entity-encoded case (`<p>w&#111;rld peace</p>` matching keyword `world`) is the trap: matching must use decoded text, output must re-encode. get_modifiable_text()'s docblock (html-processor.md, get_modifiable_text section) states inner #text contents are returned as decoded text, and the special-elements section in html-tag-processor.md ('Tokens and modifiable text', TITLE/TEXTAREA note: '1 &lt; 2 < 3 becomes 1 < 2 < 3') reinforces that character references are decoded. serialize_token()'s docblock promises a 'fully-normative HTML string'. Together these let all three subjects correctly split matching (decoded) from emission (re-encoded). I verified this with a probe: get_modifiable_text() returns 'world peace' while serialize_token() returns 'world peace' (re-encoded canonically).\n\n2. The normalization / incomplete-input behavior. The 'simple-unclosed' and 'normalization-side-effects' cases require optional tags to be closed and trailing markup normalized (`<p>hello world` -> `<p>...</p>`; unclosed `<b>`/`<p>` get virtual closers; `&AMP;` -> `&amp;`). next_token()'s html-processor.md docblock explicitly states the HTML Processor 'visits a closing token for every element it opens, including elements the HTML specification closes implicitly and elements left unclosed at the end of the input.' All three subjects cited this (trials 1 and 3 explicitly mention virtual closers) and correctly relied on per-token serialize_token() concatenation producing normalized output.\n\n3. The structure-bound text-node semantics. The 'split-across-elements-no-match' case (`<p>wor<em>ld</em></p>`) requires that 'world' NOT match because it spans two text nodes. The per-#text-token walk handles this for free, and next_token()'s note that 'An element's text content may be split across several consecutive #text tokens' signals that each #text token is independent. The 'keyword-in-comment-not-wrapped' and 'keyword-in-attribute' cases are handled because the get_token_type()=='#text' guard naturally excludes comment and attribute content.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: trial-3 reasoned that get_last_error()/bail handling was needed and returns raw $html on bail; this is defensible defensive coding but the $html fallback would emit un-normalized output, slightly contradicting the task's 'always normalized' contract. This is a latent risk the docs invite — see doc_gaps — but it was never exercised by the test cases.",

Subjects had to infer this pairing by reading two separate method docs. It happened to work here, but a subject could plausibly have matched against serialize_token() output or emitted get_modifiable_text() raw, breaking the entity-encoded and normalization cases.",

The documentation was strongly aligned with this task. What the docs did well: (1) The Bookmarks overview (html-tag-processor.md line 187-212) and the set_bookmark() method docblock (1048-1110) both contain the precise idiom this task needs — a single bookmark repeatedly overwritten inside a next_tag loop, then seek-back-and-mutate. The set_bookmark() example (lines 1076-1102) is essentially a 'mark the last LI' problem solved with seek + add_class, near-isomorphic to 'mark the last H2'. Line 191 explicitly blesses 'create a bookmark and update it frequently, such as within a loop' and warns against programmatic bookmark names, which all three subjects respected (string literal 'last-h2'). (2) The 'Finding tags' table (line 51) documents the string shorthand next_tag('img') == tag_name, so passing 'H2' as a string was a documented usage, not a guess. (3) add_class merging into an existing class attribute (lines 150-185) covered the existing-class case. (4) Comment handling 'just worked' because the parser never surfaces tags inside comments as tags, so subjects didn't even need to reason about it.\\n\\nNear-misses / latent risk that did not bite: All three subjects relied on the assumption that next_tag('H2') skips tag closers by default. The probe confirms this is true (two <h2> elements match exactly twice, is_tag_closer() is false on the match). But the docs NEVER state that 'skip' is the default for tag_closers — the next_tag() $query table (line 910) only lists '\\\"visit\\\" or \\\"skip\\\"' with no stated default, and the prose never says the string-shorthand form sets only tag_name and leaves closers skipped. Trial-1 hedged with an explicit is_tag_closer() guard ('belt-and-suspenders'); trials 2/3 asserted the default confidently in prose. Had the default been 'visit', all three would have set the bookmark on the closing </h2> as well — the bookmark would still land on the last token (a closer), seek would land on the closer, and add_class on a closer would be a no-op or _doing_it_wrong.

The approach loops through every H2 opener by calling next_tag('H2') in a loop (next_tag skips closers by default, but I added an is_tag_closer() guard for safety), updating a bookmark named 'last-h2' each time. After exhausting the document, if any H2 was found the processor seeks back to the bookmark, calls add_class('final-section'), releases the bookmark, and returns get_updated_html(). The bookmark pattern is documented explicitly in the Tag Processor docs for exactly this \"mark the last matching tag\" use case. The next_tag() query with a tag name string matches only opening tags by default (tag_closers defaults to 'skip'), so the is_tag_closer() guard is belt-and-suspenders.",

It (a) states the method 'Normalizes an HTML fragment by serializing it' and 'assumes ... BODY context', matching the task's '<body> context' framing; (b) gives a bulleted list of exactly the transformations the task asks to treat as non-structural — attribute values double-quoted, duplicate attributes removed, omitted tags added, tag/attribute casing lowered, text re-encoded with character references normalized; and (c) documents the `string|null` return with 'null if unable to normalize', which subjects correctly mapped to the task's 'return false if either input cannot be fully parsed.' This let all three subjects converge on the single-call canonical solution without ever reaching for a token walk, bookmarks, or breadcrumbs.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations (not failures, since they don't affect output):\n1. Attribute-order preservation. All three explanations assert normalize 'preserves attribute order' to justify attribute-order-differs => false. This is true (probe: normalize('<a href=\"x\" id=\"y\">') stays in that order, distinct from the id-first input) but the docs never state it. The `normalize()` and `serialize()` docblocks list what *changes* and are silent on what is *preserved*; a subject could equally have guessed order is canonicalized (it is not), which would have flipped the attribute-order-differs case to a wrong `true`. Subjects guessed right, but the doc gave no guarantee — this is the most load-bearing latent gap.\n2. null-on-unsupported trigger. The misnesting case (`<b>one<i>two</b>three</i>`) exercises the adoption agency algorithm; normalize returns null and emits an internal _doing_it_wrong ('Cannot serialize HTML Processor with parsing error: unsupported'). The `normalize()` docblock says only 'null if unable to normalize' without enumerating that unsupported/mis-nested constructs are a cause. Subjects bridged this from the class-level 'Unsupported Features' / 'Supported markup' sections (lines 91-117), which mention adoption/fostering causing the parser to bail.

The documentation was strongly sufficient for this task. What the docs did well: (1) The next_token() section in html-processor.md:614-616 explicitly establishes that next_token visits a token for every node including text and BOTH openers and closers, and crucially states 'the HTML Processor visits a closing token for every element it opens, including elements left unclosed at the end of the input. Walking code can rely on seeing a closer for every opener even in malformed input.' This single sentence is what made the unclosed-span case (input '<p><span class=\\\"x\\\">runs to end') correct — I verified by probe that the processor synthesizes a virtual SPAN closer that get_tag() reports as 'SPAN', so skip-by-tag-name drops it. (2) The serialize_token() docblock (html-processor.md:1003-1024) states it 'produces a fully-normative HTML string for the currently-matched token', directly answering the task's normalization requirement (double-quoted attributes, closed optional tags like the implied </p>/</div>, re-encoded text such as &AMP; -> &amp;) without subjects needing to implement normalization themselves; this drove the no-spans-normalized-passthrough and span-with-block-content cases. (3) The Tag Processor's token-walk example (html-tag-processor.md:216-238) modeled the while(next_token()) loop shape. Near-misses worth flagging: All three explanations confidently assert that get_tag() returns 'SPAN' for BOTH openers and closers. This is true (probe-confirmed), and it is the linchpin of every solution — but the get_tag() docblock (html-processor.md:1680-1707) only shows an opener example ('DIV') and says 'name of currently matched tag', never stating that closers report the same name. Subjects inferred a load-bearing fact that the docs do not state. Had get_tag() instead returned null or a '/SPAN'-style value on closers, every trial would have failed nested-spans, adjacent-spans, and unclosed-span by leaving stray closing tags. The experiment happened to land on correct behavior, masking a genuine documentation gap. A secondary near-miss: none of the trials guard the SPAN check behind get_token_type()==='#tag' (the reference does). This is safe only because get_tag() returns null on #text/#comment tokens; the docs do state get_tag() returns null when not on a tag (html-processor.md:1707, '... or null if none found'), so the safety is documented even though subjects did not cite it.\"",

It never states what get_tag() returns when matched on a tag CLOSER. All three subjects had to assume — correctly, but unsupported by the docs — that get_tag() returns the bare element name (e.g. 'SPAN') for closers too, not null and not a slash-prefixed name. This assumption was the linchpin of every solution; if it were wrong, all trials would have left stray closing tags.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence and an example to the get_tag() docblock stating that get_tag() returns the same uppercase element name whether matched on an opener or a closer, and that callers should use is_tag_closer() to distinguish the two. E.g. show get_tag() === 'DIV' followed by is_tag_closer() === true on the closing token. This generalizes to any 'match an element regardless of opener/closer' walk."

Subjects inferred all of this correctly, but a token-by-token normalization contract is non-obvious — particularly that skipping selected tokens still yields valid normalized output for the rest.",
+      "suggestion": "Expand the serialize_token() docblock to enumerate the normalizations it applies (quote attribute values, encode text canonically, emit implied closing tags) and add a short note that accumulating serialize_token() across a next_token() loop reconstructs a normalized serialization, so selectively skipping tokens is a supported way to filter elements out of the output.

The interaction — that to delete an element while keeping its contents you skip exactly its opener and its (possibly virtual) closer and serialize everything in between — is left for the reader to assemble.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a brief 'filtering tokens' example to the next_token() docs that walks tokens and continues past both the opener and closer of a chosen tag while accumulating serialize_token() for the rest, explicitly noting that the virtual closer emitted for unclosed input is also matched and skipped. Keep it generic (any element), not span-specific."

Subject: [PATCH 010/193] HTML API docs experiment: corpus revision per review.

Task-first rebalance: add six tasks forcing undercovered concepts
(class removal, contextual selection, truncated-input detection,
normalize() failure handling, full-document parsing, HTML-vs-SVG image
namespace). New held-out set: N01/N02/N05/H04; H01-H03 retired;
T01/T02 relabeled smoke. Every task now carries role/commonness/
concept/processor labels and the aggregator reports per-concept means.
All new references harness-validated; N02/N05/N06 cross-checked
against Dom\HTMLDocument (covering image->img conversion and
img-breaking-out-of-svg).

 Hypothesis → outcome narrative, one entry per round. Newest first.
 
+## Corpus revision (after Jon's review)
+
+Per the review: stay task-first; train was saturated for Sonnet and
+clustered on a few patterns. Changes:
+- Added N01 (remove class), N02 (images inside figures), N03 (detect
+  truncated HTML), N04 (can-normalize failure handling), N05 (document
+  title via full parser), N06 (HTML img vs SVG image). All references
+  validated in the harness; N02/N05/N06 cross-checked against
+  Dom\HTMLDocument (including the image→img conversion and
+  img-breaks-out-of-svg parsing behaviors).
+- Held-out is now N01/N02/N05/H04 (class manipulation, contextual
+  selection, full-document, advanced extraction). H01–H03 retired to
+  corpus-retired/. T01/T02 relabeled smoke.
+- All tasks labeled (role, commonness, concept, processor);
+  aggregate-round.py now reports per-concept and per-split means.
+Held-out history note: round-0 held-out (93.47) was measured on the OLD
+held-out set; the new set's baseline comes from the Haiku re-baseline.

+Revised after Jon's round-1 review (task-first, not API-surface-first):
+19 active tasks — 15 train + 4 held-out. Held-out tasks are scored only at
+checkpoints (every 3rd round and at the end) and never drive doc edits —
 they detect doc edits that game the train set.
 
+- Train core: T03–T12 (text extraction, traversal, serialization,
+  bookmarks) plus N03 (incomplete-input detection via
+  paused_at_incomplete_token), N04 (normalize() failure handling),
+  N06 (HTML img vs SVG image namespace distinction).
+- Train smoke: T01, T02 — basic sanity checks, kept in the round score
+  but reviewed separately; they must not dominate coverage.
+- Held-out: N01 (class removal), N02 (contextual selection with
+  breadcrumbs), N05 (full-document title via create_full_parser),
+  H04 (advanced subtree text extraction).
+- Retired to corpus-retired/ (too close to train patterns to give
+  held-out anti-overfitting value): H01, H02, H03.
+
+Every task carries labels in tests.json — role (core/smoke), commonness
+(high/medium/low), concept (attributes, classes, text, traversal,
+serialization, full-document, failure-handling, namespace), and intended
+processor (tag/html/either). Rounds are reviewed per concept, not only by
+aggregate score, so a high aggregate cannot hide an untaught concept.

 Sources of task patterns: dmsnell's gists (HTML serialization builder,
 streaming html-grep, semantic truncation) adapted to the *current* API on
 this branch — the gists use experimental methods that don't exist here —

+# Remove a class from links
+
+Write a single PHP function:
+
+```php
+function remove_external_class( string $html ): string
+```
+
+Remove the class `external` from every `A` tag that has it, and return the
+modified HTML. All other classes on the tag must be preserved. Class name
+matching is case-sensitive: `class="EXTERNAL"` does not contain the class
+`external`. `A` tags without the class, and all other markup, are left as
+the HTML API leaves them — note that when `external` is a tag's only
+class, removing it removes the whole `class` attribute, and whitespace
+that surrounded a removed attribute remains where it was.
+
+Examples:
+
+```php
+remove_external_class( '<a class="external link" href="/x">go</a>' )
+// => '<a class="link" href="/x">go</a>'
+
+remove_external_class( '<a class="external" href="/x">go</a>' )
+// => '<a  href="/x">go</a>'
+//    (only class removed -> class attribute removed; note leftover space)
+```

+# Detect truncated HTML
+
+Write a single PHP function:
+
+```php
+function has_incomplete_html_tail( string $html ): bool
+```
+
+Determine whether the document was cut off in the middle of an HTML token —
+for example, input that ends inside an unfinished tag, an unterminated
+comment, or an unclosed `SCRIPT` element whose contents run to the end of
+the input. Return `true` when the end of the input falls inside such an
+incomplete token; return `false` for input whose tokens are all complete.
+
+Note that some trailing syntax is complete by definition: a lone `<` at the
+end of input is just text, and unclosed elements like `<div>text` are
+structurally unclosed but lexically complete (every token is whole).
+
+Examples:
+
+```php
+has_incomplete_html_tail( '<p>all fine</p>' )        // => false
+has_incomplete_html_tail( '<div class="x' )          // => true
+has_incomplete_html_tail( '<!-- unfinished comment' ) // => true
+has_incomplete_html_tail( '<div>unclosed element' )   // => false

+# Check whether HTML can be normalized
+
+Write a single PHP function:
+
+```php
+function can_normalize_fragment( string $html ): bool
+```
+
+Given an HTML fragment (as found inside `<body>`), determine whether the
+HTML API can produce a fully-normalized serialization of it. Some markup —
+for example certain misnested formatting elements — is not yet supported
+by the HTML Processor, and normalization is not possible; return `false`
+for those inputs. Return `true` when normalization succeeds.
+
+Note that markup being malformed does not by itself mean normalization
+fails: unclosed tags, implied closing tags, and well-formed tables all
+normalize fine.
+
+Examples:
+
+```php
+can_normalize_fragment( '<div><p>fine' )                  // => true
+can_normalize_fragment( '<table><tr><td>ok</table>' )     // => true
+can_normalize_fragment( '<b>one<i>two</b>three</i>' )     // => false (unsupported misnesting)
+```

+# Collect HTML image sources, not SVG ones
+
+Write a single PHP function:
+
+```php
+function collect_html_img_sources( string $html ): array
+```
+
+Given an HTML fragment (as found inside `<body>`), return a list (numeric
+array) of the decoded `src` values of every HTML `img` element — as a
+browser would understand the document — in document order. SVG `<image>`
+elements (inside `<svg>`) are a different element in a different namespace
+and must be excluded. Skip images that have no `src` attribute or whose
+`src` has no value.
+
+Be careful: what counts as an HTML `img` element is defined by how
+browsers parse the markup, which is not always how it is spelled in the
+source.
+
+Example:
+
+```php
+collect_html_img_sources( '<p><img src="a.jpg"></p><svg><image href="v.svg" src="not-img.jpg"></svg>' )
+// => [ 'a.jpg' ]

Subject: [PATCH 011/193] HTML API docs round 3, hypothesis 1: set_attribute()
 placement rules.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Two of three Haiku trials on the build-figure task produced correct
markup with src/alt swapped and scored 0/6 — the docs never explain
where set_attribute() puts attributes. Verified by execution: updates
replace in place keeping position; NEW attributes insert after the tag
name before existing ones; multiple new attributes sort by attribute
name regardless of call order. Document all three rules plus the
start-from-a-template idiom for when output order matters.

Also fixes a judge-discovered bug in the paused_at_incomplete_token()
example, which called the nonexistent get_next_tag() instead of
next_tag().

Subject: [PATCH 012/193] HTML API docs round 3, hypothesis 2: correct the
 class-level support claims.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The class docblock claimed the HTML Processor cannot process any
element inside a TABLE, any foreign content (SVG/MathML), or anything
outside the IN BODY insertion mode. All three claims are false on this
branch — round-2 trials parsed well-formed tables, SVG content, and
full documents with head content; judges traced T08's defensive
fallback code directly to this passage.

Replace with verified behavior: the processor parses these fine and
aborts only on specific constructs — foster-parented content (e.g. a
DIV directly inside TABLE) and mis-nested formatting requiring
advance-and-rewind reconstruction (e.g. '<b>one<i>two</b>three</i>'),
both confirmed by execution, with simple mis-nesting supported. Also
document how aborts surface: get_last_error(),
get_unsupported_exception(), and null from serialize()/normalize().

- * If any unsupported element appears in the HTML input the HTML Processor
+ * If any unsupported markup appears in the HTML input the HTML Processor
  * will abort early and stop all processing. This draconian measure ensures
  * that the HTML Processor won't break any HTML it doesn't fully understand.
+ * When this happens, {@see WP_HTML_Processor::get_last_error} returns a
+ * non-null value and {@see WP_HTML_Processor::get_unsupported_exception}
+ * describes what was encountered; methods which produce output (such as
+ * `serialize()` and `normalize()`) return `null`.
  *
- * The HTML Processor supports all elements other than a specific set:
+ * The HTML Processor parses the broad majority of real-world HTML,
+ * including well-formed tables (TABLE, THEAD, TBODY, TR, TD, TH and
+ * markup inside cells), foreign content (SVG and MathML), TEMPLATE
+ * elements, and — with {@see WP_HTML_Processor::create_full_parser} —
+ * complete documents with doctype and HEAD content. Only specific
+ * constructs cause it to abort:
  *
- *  - Any element inside a TABLE.
- *  - Any element inside foreign content, including SVG and MATH.
- *  - Any element outside the IN BODY insertion mode, e.g. doctype declarations, meta, links.
+ *  - Content the HTML specification relocates in the DOM ("foster
+ *    parenting"), e.g. a DIV placed directly inside a TABLE rather
+ *    than inside a cell — such a DIV belongs _before_ the table in
+ *    the DOM, and the HTML Processor stops rather than relocate it.
+ *  - Mis-nested formatting elements whose reconstruction would require
+ *    advancing and rewinding through the document, e.g.
+ *    `<b>one<i>two</b>three</i>`. Simple mis-nesting which can be
+ *    handled in a single pass, e.g. `<b><i>x</b></i>`, is supported.

  * ### Supported markup
  *
- * Some kinds of non-normative HTML involve reconstruction of formatting elements and

 serialize_token() rewrite idiom.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Round-1 judges (T12) flagged that nothing connects serialize_token()
to its purpose: subjects mixed token loops with whole-string
normalize(), unsure which was right. Document that concatenating
serialize_token() across a next_token() walk reproduces serialize(),
that the token-by-token form exists for selective rewriting (skip to
remove, emit around to wrap), and that closers of skipped elements
must be skipped too — with an execution-verified removal example.
Cross-reference guidance: serialize() for unchanged output, the loop
for transformations.

+## Round 2 — Haiku re-baseline on the revised corpus
+
+All 19 tasks × 3 Haiku trials against the round-1 docs. **All-19 91.47,
+core 90.47, train 92.56, held-out 87.38.** Round-1 doc edits transfer
+to Haiku: T03 and T06 (round-0's worst) are perfect.
+
+Per-concept means (the new labels paying off — the aggregate hides
+these): attributes 72.2, full-document 78.0, namespace 85.9,
+traversal 91.6, vs classes/failure-handling ~99.
+
+Diagnosed causes:
+- T04 build-figure 44.3 (two 0/6 trials): output correct except src/alt
+  order — set_attribute() placement rules are undocumented (verified:
+  in-place update keeps position; new attributes insert after the tag
+  name sorted by NAME, not call order).
+- N05 document-title (held-out) one 2/7 trial: subject walked TITLE
+  looking for #text children; RCDATA text lives on the tag token. No
+  doc edit made — held-out must not drive edits; noted for monitoring.
+- T08 adherence 55-72: the false class-docblock claims (tables/foreign
+  content/head unsupported) still driving defensive fallback code.
+- T09 adherence 52-76: serialize_token() purpose/idiom undocumented.
+
+Round-3 hypotheses (committed before round 3 trials):
+1. set_attribute() placement rules + order-control idiom (also fixes
+   the judge-found get_next_tag() typo).
+2. Correct class-level support claims with verified abort conditions
+   (foster parenting, advance-rewind formatting reconstruction) and how
+   aborts surface (get_last_error/get_unsupported_exception/null).
+3. serialize_token() rewrite idiom with verified example.
+
+Operational note: first judge attempt hit the account session limit and
+returned zero verdicts; retried clean after reset. Isolation: trial
+transcripts spot-checked, zero external reads.

Idiomatic: outer next_tag() to find each heading opener, capture get_current_depth(), then nested next_token() loop bounded by depth to accumulate #text via get_modifiable_text(). This mirrors the documented LI/UL text-collection pattern almost exactly. Uses strict get_current_depth() > $depth rather than the doc's >= form, but because depth is captured AT the opener (one less than the contents' depth), strictly-greater correctly includes all descendant text and excludes the heading's own closer and siblings; verified by passing nested-in-sections and adjacent-heading all-levels. Edge cases all handled: decoded entities (Q&A), void-only heading yields '' (IMG produces no text token, loop runs zero text appends), and unclosed-heading works because the HTML Processor emits synthetic closers/depth changes for unclosed elements. 7/7 pass. Minor: relies on get_tag() inside a next_token walk, which is fine for openers; no get_breadcrumbs alternative used but not needed."

Inner loop breaks when get_current_depth() < $heading_depth, the symmetric and equally idiomatic form of the documented depth-bounded walk. Slightly less clean than trial-1: a redundant is_tag_closer() guard after next_tag() (next_tag only visits openers by default, per the next_tag query docs), and an inline comment ('immediate nesting level or deeper') that misstates what the code does (it actually collects ALL descendant #text, which is correct for the task).

No hallucinated methods (next_token, get_token_type, get_tag, is_tag_closer, get_modifiable_text all exist on the Tag Processor), so the no-undocumented-API criterion is met. But the approach reimplements depth tracking with a hand-rolled integer counter instead of the HTML Processor's get_current_depth(), and that bookkeeping is broken in two documented-edge ways. unclosed-heading (<h2>Open <b>ended): the Tag Processor emits NO closing tokens for unclosed elements (verified by probe), so the code's 'push on matching </hN> closer' branch never fires and the heading is dropped -> []. image-only-heading (<h3><img></h3>): the manual counter increments on the IMG opener but IMG is void with no closer, so when </h3> arrives the counter is 2 not 1 and the heading is dropped -> []. Both are precisely the cases the HTML Processor handles automatically. 5/7 pass. The explanation even claims 'tracks entering/exiting heading tags and nested tags using a depth counter' without recognizing void elements and unclosed input break that counter. Self-reported confidence 55 was appropriately low."
+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "Only trial-3 failed, on two cases, both traceable to one root misconception plus the documentation that should have steered it away from the WP_HTML_Tag_Processor.\n\nFailed case unclosed-heading (<h2>Open <b>ended), trial-3 -> []: The subject chose WP_HTML_Tag_Processor and built a manual depth counter, only emitting a heading when it later saw a matching </hN> tag-closer token. The Tag Processor performs a purely lexical scan and emits no closing tokens for elements left unclosed at end of input (confirmed by probe: the stream for this input is H2, #text, B, #text and stops). So the flush never happens. The responsible documentation is the contrast between the two next_token() docs. html-processor.md > next_token() explicitly states: 'Unlike the Tag Processor's purely lexical scan, the HTML Processor visits a closing token for every element it opens, including elements ... left unclosed at the end of the input. Walking code can rely on seeing a closer for every opener even in malformed input.' That guarantee is the whole reason the reference and trials 1/2 succeed. The Tag Processor side (html-tag-processor.md > next_token() and 'Design and limitations') says it 'only parses the HTML tag openers' and 'it's not possible for the Tag Processor to associate any given opening tag with its corresponding closing tag', but it never states the consequence that drives this bug: that closers are NOT synthesized and that flush-on-closer logic will silently lose trailing/unclosed elements. The negative guarantee is stated abstractly under Design/limitations but not at the point of decision (next_token), so the subject didn't connect it.\n\nFailed case image-only-heading (<h3><img></h3>), trial-3 -> []: The manual counter increments on every opener tag, including the void IMG, but never decrements for IMG because void elements have no closing tag. When </h3> is reached the counter is 2, so the code takes its decrement branch instead of its flush branch, and the heading is dropped. This is a void-element accounting error. The HTML Processor avoids it entirely because get_current_depth() and the closer-for-every-opener guarantee are computed by the parser, and expects_closer() documents that 'void tags ... immediately closing as soon as the processor advances.' But nothing in html-tag-processor.md warns that hand-rolled depth counters over the Tag Processor's token stream must special-case void elements (IMG, BR, HR, INPUT, etc.). The Tag Processor has no get_current_depth() at all (confirmed: documented only in html-processor.md), so a subject committed to the Tag Processor has no built-in depth primitive and is pushed toward exactly this fragile manual counter.\n\nWhat the docs did well (trials 1 and 2): The html-processor.md next_token() and get_current_depth() entries each carry a near-verbatim worked example of the required pattern - find an element with next_tag(), record get_current_depth() at the opener, then while ( next_token() && get_current_depth() >= $depth ) accumulate #text from get_modifiable_text(). Both passing trials reproduced this almost line-for-line, including the crucial insight (spelled out in get_current_depth()) that a closer reports a depth one less than its opener, which gives the loop its termination boundary. The 'accumulate text while walking rather than assuming one token carries all of an element's text' note in next_token() also directly produced the correct concatenation behavior for 'Part <em>one</em>'. Near-miss in explanations: trial-1 used strict '>' where the docs use '>=', which happens to be safe here only because depth was captured at the opener rather than the first inner token; the docs don't explicitly discuss this off-by-one choice, so it was luck-adjacent reasoning rather than something the docs guaranteed.\"",

The negative facts are scattered under 'Design and limitations' ('only parses tag openers', 'cannot associate an opening tag with its closing tag') but not at the point where a reader is deciding how to walk tokens. A subject built a flush-on-closer + manual-depth-counter loop on the Tag Processor and silently lost both an unclosed heading and a void-element-only heading.",
+      "suggestion": "In the next_token() docblock add an explicit caveat contrasting it with the HTML Processor: 'The Tag Processor performs a purely lexical scan. It does NOT synthesize closing tokens for elements that are void (e.g. IMG, BR, HR, INPUT) or that are left unclosed at the end of input. Code that tracks nesting depth by counting opener and closer tokens must special-case void elements and must not assume every opened element will produce a closer. For structure-aware walking (depth, breadcrumbs, guaranteed closers), use WP_HTML_Processor.'

The void-element accounting error directly caused the image-only-heading failure.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short example to expects_closer() (or get_current_depth()) showing token-by-token depth for an input containing a void child, e.g. '<h3><img></h3>': demonstrate that the IMG opener appears at one greater depth, immediately closes with no closer token, and the depth returns for the following content, so a correct inner-text walk over such a heading collects no text and still terminates on the heading's own closer.

One passing trial used strict '>' and only happened to be correct because it captured depth at the opener; the docs leave whether '>' vs '>=' matters as an exercise.",

Every token strictly inside the element reports a depth greater than that value; the element's own closer reports a depth one less.

Correct processor and correct result — all 7 cases pass, no _doing_it_wrong. The guard is redundant: remove_class already matches case-sensitively in standard mode and returns true harmlessly when absent, so iterating class_list to pre-check adds no correctness and is slightly less idiomatic than the reference. The subject's lower confidence (82) and the very existence of this guard are a direct symptom of the doc gap: nothing in the docs tells you whether remove_class is case-sensitive, so the subject reimplemented case-sensitive matching by hand using the one method (class_list) whose example shows it preserves exact casing. Knocked ~8 for the unnecessary detour, not for any misuse."

+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed all 7 cases with zero _doing_it_wrong and zero trigger_error records. So this is a docs-did-well / near-miss analysis.\n\nWhat the docs did well for this task: (1) The 'Modifying CSS classes' section (html-tag-processor.md L150-185) states plainly that 'If removing the only class then the entire class attribute will be removed' (L155) and shows the exact before/after for remove_class on a sole class (L176-178). This is the single hardest expectation in the suite ('only-class-removes-attribute' -> '<a  href=...>' with a leftover space, and 'non-link-untouched' -> '<a >link</a>'), and all three subjects produced it correctly without probing. (2) The whitespace/minimal-diff guarantee at L294 ('add_class and remove_class methods preserve whitespace and the class ordering') correctly led subjects to expect 'one external two' -> 'one two' and the residual space, rather than re-serializing the attribute. (3) The next_tag query table (L49-53) gave subjects both the array and string forms, so all three correctly selected and matched A tags; tag-name matching being ASCII-case-insensitive meant lowercase 'a' (trials 1-2) and uppercase 'A' (trial 3) both worked.\n\nThe near-miss — and the only real risk the suite exercised — is the case-sensitivity requirement embodied in 'case-sensitive-not-removed' (class=\\\"EXTERNAL\\\" must survive remove_class('external')). The docs provide NO statement that remove_class is case-sensitive. The remove_class docblock (L2150-2170) says only 'Removes a class name from the currently matched tag' with no casing note. All three subjects nonetheless asserted in their explanations that remove_class is case-sensitive and passed — trials 1-2 by direct assertion, trial 3 by defensively reimplementing exact matching via class_list(). I verified the actual behavior: in standard (no-quirks) mode, which is the default for the bare fragments used as test inputs, remove_class enqueues a case-sensitive removal (class-wp-html-tag-processor.php L4639-4642), so EXTERNAL is correctly left intact. But this is mode-dependent: in quirks mode remove_class matches ASCII-case-insensitively (L4644-4659), which would FAIL 'case-sensitive-not-removed'. The subjects got the right answer without documented justification — a latent failure had any subject reached for the documented-but-misleading has_class() guard instead.\n\nThe has_class() docblock is actively misleading and is the highest-value gap surfaced here: html-tag-processor.md L1032 summarizes has_class as returning 'if a matched tag contains the given ASCII case-insensitive class name.' I verified the source (L1240-1258): case-insensitivity applies ONLY in quirks mode; in standard mode has_class('external') returns FALSE for class=\\\"EXTERNAL\\\". A subject who trusted the docblock and wrote `if ( $p->has_class('external') ) $p->remove_class('external');` as a guard would have reasoned the guard matches EXTERNAL (per the docs' 'case-insensitive' claim) and removed it — failing 'case-sensitive-not-removed'. No trial hit this because none used has_class, but the doc states a falsehood for the default parsing mode.",

Result: 3 functional failures (nested-depth img-in-a-in-div, figcaption-sibling img-in-figcaption, unclosed-figure later.jpg-in-p) — all images that are descendants but not direct children of FIGURE. This is the central API-usage misconception, not just a functional bug: the candidate treated breadcrumbs as 'ancestor contains' when the docs define it as an exact-path suffix match. Secondary issue: redundant html_entity_decode() on get_attribute('src') — get_attribute already returns decoded values, so this risks double-decoding (harmless on these cases but wrong in general).

+  "failure_analysis": "All failures are concentrated in trial-2 (3 of 8 cases); trials 1 and 3 passed everything. Every failure traces to one misconception about the documented `breadcrumbs` query semantics.\n\nTrial-2 used `next_tag( array( 'tag_name' => 'img', 'breadcrumbs' => array( 'figure', 'img' ) ) )`, expecting it to match any IMG with a FIGURE ancestor. The HTML Processor's `breadcrumbs` query is an exact path-suffix match using the child combinator: `array('FIGURE','IMG')` means 'IMG that is a DIRECT child of FIGURE'. I confirmed via probe that this query returns 0 matches for `<figure><div><a><img></a></div></figure>` and matches only the direct-child IMG in the figcaption/unclosed cases. The three failed cases are precisely the descendant-but-not-direct-child images:\n- nested-depth: img inside a inside div inside figure -> breadcrumbs FIGURE>DIV>A>IMG, suffix is A>IMG not FIGURE>IMG -> no match.\n- figcaption-sibling: cap.jpg is FIGURE>FIGCAPTION>IMG -> suffix FIGCAPTION>IMG -> missed (pic.jpg, a direct child, matched).\n- unclosed-figure: later.jpg is FIGURE>P>IMG -> suffix P>IMG -> missed (open.jpg, direct child, matched).\n\nResponsible documentation: the WP_HTML_Processor 'Breadcrumbs' section (html-processor.md, lines 48-72) and the `next_tag()` `$query` `@type string[] $breadcrumbs` description (line 592). The prose DOES say breadcrumbs are 'equivalent to a CSS selector comprising tag names separated by the child combinator, such as DIV > FIGURE > IMG' and shows that `array('FIGURE','IMG')` matches a direct-child arrangement. The information is technically present, but it is stated abstractly ('child combinator') and every worked example in that section happens to use direct parent/child HTML, so a reader never sees a contrasting case where an ancestor exists at greater depth and the query FAILS to match. There is no example contrasting 'descendant at any depth' (use get_breadcrumbs + in_array, or the '*' wildcard / not-yet-supported '**') against 'direct child' (use the breadcrumbs query). The `matches_breadcrumbs` docblock (lines 719-740) actually demonstrates the failing direction (`false === matches_breadcrumbs(array('span','img'))` when SPAN is not the direct parent), but that negative example lives under a different method than the `breadcrumbs` query the candidate was using, so the warning didn't transfer. Trials 1 and 3 sidestepped the trap entirely by using the more robust documented pattern: walk all IMG tags and test FIGURE membership in get_breadcrumbs(), which is exactly the reference solution and is the right tool for any-depth ancestry.\n\nNear-miss in the passing trials' explanations: all three claimed get_attribute('src') returns an already-decoded value. This is correct (probe confirms `/i?a=1&amp;b=2` -> `/i?a=1&b=2`), and the entity-decoded-src case passed for trials 1 and 3 for free. But this fact is NOT stated in either get_attribute() docblock; the only decoding documentation is on get_modifiable_text (which concerns text nodes, not attribute values). Trial-2's reaction to that documentation gap was to add html_entity_decode() defensively — a redundant and generally-incorrect double-decode that only avoided breaking these cases by luck. So the same documentation gap (silence on whether get_attribute decodes) produced a lucky pass in two trials and a latent bug in the third.\"",

To match an element at ANY depth below an ancestor, walk tags and test the ancestor with get_breadcrumbs(): `while ($p->next_tag('IMG')) { if (in_array('FIGURE',$p->get_breadcrumbs(),true)) {...} }`.\" Cross-reference the negative example already present in matches_breadcrumbs()."

No _doing_it_wrong or trigger_error records in any execution.json.\n\nWhat the docs did well: (1) The \"When next_tag() returns false it could mean different things\" section (tag-processor.md L86-101) directly teaches the core concept this task tests - that input ending mid-syntax-element pauses the processor, and that special elements (SCRIPT/STYLE/TITLE) without a closing tag count as incomplete. This maps cleanly onto the unterminated-script case. (2) The next_token() heading (L920-953) states explicitly that reaching end-of-document mid-token causes a seek-back-and-pause returning false - this justified the walk-to-exhaustion loop. (3) The paused_at_incomplete_token() heading (L973-995) names the exact method and describes its semantics. (4) The changelog line at L317 (\"Pauses processor when input ends in an incomplete syntax token\") reinforces the model. The combination gave subjects an unambiguous mapping from task to API.\n\nNear-misses worth noting: The two distinctions the task spec stresses - lone trailing < being text (false), and structurally-unclosed-but-lexically-complete elements like <div>text (false) - are NOT explicitly covered by the documented examples. The docs' examples for pausing all involve mid-tag or special-element truncation; they never show a case that does NOT pause (e.g. a trailing <, or an unclosed <div> with following text returning false). Subjects nonetheless got these right because the underlying lexer behaves correctly and the walk-then-check pattern is robust - but the docs gave no positive confirmation, which likely explains trial-1's depressed confidence (72). The success here is partly the API being forgiving rather than the docs being complete on the negative cases.",

Subjects had to infer that these return false, with no doc confirmation, which suppressed confidence even on a correct solution.",

The task maps almost directly onto the documented null-return contract of serialize()/normalize(), and all subjects discovered and used it correctly.\n\nWhat the docs did well: The serialize() and normalize() sections each state a Returns type of `string|null` with the explicit gloss \"null if unable to generate serialization\" / \"null if unable to normalize.\" That single sentence is what every subject keyed on to implement failure detection, and it is exactly right — probing confirms both serialize() and normalize() return null on the adoption-agency input \"<b>one<i>two</b>three</i>\". The normalize() docblock also helpfully tells the reader that the general-case equivalent is create_fragment() + serialize(), which is why trials 2 and 3 landed on that idiomatic form. create_fragment()'s documented `static|null` return let subjects guard the construction step too.\n\nThe one near-miss is in trial-1's reasoning, not its result: the candidate believed serialize() could throw WP_HTML_Unsupported_Exception and added a catch for it. Probing shows serialize() swallows the unsupported condition internally and returns null — it does not throw — so the catch is unreachable. The misconception is understandable: WP_HTML_Unsupported_Exception appears ~30 times in the docs as a @throws tag on token-walking methods (next_token, next_tag, etc.) and in a dedicated exception-handling example, but the serialize() section lists no Throws clause and no note explaining that serialize() converts that internal abort into a null return (and a _doing_it_wrong notice). A reader who has absorbed the pervasive \"@throws WP_HTML_Unsupported_Exception\" pattern can reasonably over-generalize it to serialize(). It cost trial-1 some adherence but not correctness.\n\nSeparately, every trial's execution.json records a level-512 trigger_error (\"Cannot serialize HTML Processor with parsing error: unsupported.\") on the adoption-agency case. This is an intrinsic side effect of the API: the reference solution (WP_HTML_Processor::normalize) emits the identical notice, confirmed by probe. It is not evidence of misuse and was not penalized. The docs do not mention this notice anywhere, which is a latent gap (see doc_gaps) — a caller who wanted silent failure detection would be surprised by the emitted notice.",

All three trials produced this notice and a caller expecting silent null-based failure detection would be surprised by it.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one line to serialize() (and mirror it in normalize()): note that when serialization cannot complete, the method returns null AND triggers a notice via wp_trigger_error / _doing_it_wrong, so callers who want to detect failure silently should be aware the notice is emitted.

Single root misconception: the candidate modeled TITLE as an ordinary element whose text lives in a child #text node reached by a further next_token(). In the HTML API's Tag Processor, TITLE is an 'atomic' element: the opener token spans opener-through-closer and the inner plaintext IS that opener token's modifiable text. Probe: after next_tag('TITLE'), get_modifiable_text() returns 'My Site — Home'; the extra next_token() moves to the HEAD closer (modifiable text ''), so the function returned '' for every populated title. empty-title and no-title-null passed accidentally — the empty title yields '' from the wrong token, and no-title falls through to the early-return path.\\n\\nResponsible documentation: the misconception is at odds with the Tag Processor 'Special \\\"atomic\\\" HTML elements' section (html-tag-processor.md lines 243-259), which states the Tag Processor 'treats the entire sequence as one, from the opening tag, including its contents, through its closing tag' and 'The inner contents of these elements are that element's modifiable text.' The get_modifiable_text() method docs (lines 1769-1792) reinforce that the value is decoded and read directly on the matched token. The docs are CORRECT but the failure shows they did not make the consequence operationally obvious: the canonical 'Tokens and finer-grained processing' example (lines 220-238) reads TITLE via get_modifiable_text() inside the SAME switch arm as the token match, never advancing afterward — but it never explicitly warns 'do not call next_token() again to reach the text,' and it never shows the next_tag('TITLE') then read pattern. A reader who pattern-matches TITLE to a normal parent (DIV-style, where you DO walk into a child #text node, as shown in html-processor.md next_token examples at lines 624-642) naturally inserts the extra advance. The atomicity note and the modifiable-text note are in different sections from the worked example, so the 'one token, read it in place' rule was easy to miss.\\n\\nTrials 2 and 3 confirm the docs were sufficient to succeed: both relied on the documented atomic decoding and passed 7/7. Near-misses in their explanations: trial-2 claims the decode is 'per HTML5 spec' (fine) but omits any mention of TITLE atomicity, so it 'got it right' without articulating why a single read suffices; trial-3 wrote the decoded example as '\\\\u2014' which is a cosmetic JSON/escaping slip, not a behavioral error.

Because normal elements DO require walking into a #text child (shown in WP_HTML_Processor::next_token examples), readers transfer that habit and over-advance, reading an empty/adjacent token instead. This caused every non-empty-title failure in trial-1.",
+      "suggestion": "Add an explicit contrast and a short anti-pattern note: 'These atomic elements have NO separate child text token. Read get_modifiable_text() directly on the matched opening tag — do NOT call next_token()/next_tag() again to step into the element, or you will land on the following token (e.g. a sibling or parent closer) and read empty text.'

Trial-2 succeeded without the guard only by luck of token ordering; trial-1's confusion partly stems from unclear closer-vs-opener token identity.",
+      "suggestion": "In the token-walking guidance, state plainly that when iterating with next_token(), get_token_name() returns the same name for a tag's opener and its closer, so code that reads text or attributes should guard with `! $processor->is_tag_closer()` to ensure it is on the opener. Reinforce that for atomic elements no closer token is emitted at all (the opener subsumes it), so the guard is both safe and recommended as the idiomatic pattern."

However the get_namespace()!=='html' guard is functionally dead: the Tag Processor does not auto-transition into foreign-content namespaces (it reports ns=html even inside <svg> unless change_parsing_namespace is called), so the SVG exclusion only 'works' by accident because svg <image> also fails to match 'img'.

Not exercised by the test suite, so functional score is unaffected, but it is a clear misuse of the documented null/'' semantics, costing edge-case points. The explanation also asserts get_attribute returns decoded values 'per the documented inversion of set_attribute()' — an inference, not a documented guarantee for get_attribute."
+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "Three hidden-case failures, all in trial-2, all from one root misconception: the subject chose WP_HTML_Tag_Processor for a task whose entire point is browser parsing semantics.\n\n1) trial-2 / image-tag-becomes-img (expected ['converted.jpg'], got []): In HTML, a bare <image> start tag in the body is renamed to img by the tree-construction algorithm (it is the only tag the spec renames this way). The Tag Processor does NOT apply this rename — it is a lexical scanner and reports the literal tag name IMAGE. So next_tag('img') never matches and the src is missed. Probe confirms: Tag Processor reports tag=IMAGE; HTML Processor reports tag=IMG with breadcrumb HTML>BODY>IMG.\n\n2) trial-2 / mixed-document (expected 1,2,3; got 1,3): Same cause — the top-level <image src=\\\"2.jpg\\\"> is renamed to IMG by the spec but the Tag Processor reports IMAGE and skips it.\n\nResponsible documentation: WP_HTML_Processor::get_tag() DOES state 'certain tags be reprocessed with a different tag name ... the tag name presented by the HTML Processor may differ from the one reported by the HTML Tag Processor', but it gives no concrete example and never names <image>->img. The Tag Processor docs' 'Design and limitations' section explains the Tag Processor avoids 'tree construction and semantic cleanups' and 'only parses the HTML tag openers', but never makes explicit the practical consequence: that element RENAMES (image->img) and foreign-content BREAKOUTS are invisible to it. A reader scanning the Tag Processor page sees next_tag, get_namespace, and get_attribute and reasonably concludes it can do namespace-aware tag collection — it cannot.\n\nSecondary misconception (present but unpunished by tests) in trial-2: the get_namespace()!=='html' guard. The subject believed the Tag Processor tracks namespaces. It does not auto-enter foreign content — get_namespace() returns 'html' even inside <svg> (probe confirmed) unless change_parsing_namespace() is called manually. The Tag Processor's get_namespace() doc says only 'Returns the namespace of the matched token' with no note that the Tag Processor does not transition into svg/math on its own. This guard happened not to cause a visible failure only because the relevant svg children also fail the tag-name match.\n\nWhy trials 1 and 3 passed everything: WP_HTML_Processor performs full tree construction, so all four hard cases (image->img rename, img breaking out of svg, svg image staying excluded, document-order) are handled by the parser itself. Near-miss in the explanations: both trial-1 and trial-3 added a get_namespace()!=='html' check that they believed was load-bearing for SVG exclusion; in fact the HTML Processor already excludes svg <image> because it never renames svg image to IMG. Their reasoning about WHY it worked was slightly off even though the code was correct. trial-3 additionally introduced a non-spec ! empty() filter (would drop src=\\\"0\\\"); trial-3's explanation also guessed that get_attribute decodes values 'per the documented inversion of set_attribute()', which is an inference the docs do not state for get_attribute.",

The 'Replacing CSS classes' / add_class section plus the explicit guarantee at line 294 ('add_class and remove_class methods preserve whitespace and the class ordering') directly underwrote the existing-classes case and gave subjects confidence to assert order preservation. The worked while(next_tag()) loop at lines 70-75 modeled the exact token-walking idiom all three reproduced. The 6.5.0 changelog note on next_tag() (line 904: 'No longer processes incomplete tokens at end of document; pauses the processor') is what makes the incomplete-tag-at-end case pass for free, though no subject explicitly reasoned about it.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: All three subjects correctly asserted case-insensitive tag matching, which was load-bearing for the uppercase-tag case, but the docs do not state this explicitly in the next_tag() parameter table (line 910 just says 'Which tag to find'). The string-form example next_tag('img') at line 51 only implies it. The subjects got it right, but this was inference rather than a documented guarantee, the single weakest link in an otherwise fully-supported solution. Subjects also asserted comment images 'are never matched because they don't form real tags' / 'not parsed as real tags', which is correct, but the docs never explicitly state that next_tag() skips comment contents; this too was correct inference rather than documented fact (the Tag Processor 'currently only supports the tag token' at line 944 hints at it but does not address comment-internal text).\"",

Correct edge-case handling via `null !== $href`. 8/8 pass. Confidence 92."
+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "No failures across any trial: all three passed 8/8 hidden cases with zero _doing_it_wrong records, and all are substantively identical to the canonical reference. This is a smoke/basic task and the docs supported it cleanly.\n\nWhat the docs did well (the load-bearing passages):\n1. get_attribute return contract. The single most important fact for this task is that `href` counts as present in three distinct physical forms: a normal value, an empty string (`href=\\\"\\\"`), and a valueless boolean form (`<a href>`). html-tag-processor.md nails this in two complementary places: the signature `string|true|null` with worked examples at lines 1426-1433 (`get_attribute('enabled') === true`, `get_attribute('aria-label') === null`), and the prose at line 81 (\\\"will return null if the attribute wasn't present... may return \\\"\\\" (the empty string) in cases where the attribute was present but its value was empty\\\"). All three subjects independently converged on the correct idiom `null !== get_attribute('href')` and three independently wrote accurate comments enumerating the return cases. This is direct evidence the documentation transferred the concept successfully.\n2. next_tag query forms. The docs show both the shorthand string form and the array form (lines 49-53), so the subjects' three different spellings (`'A'`, `array('tag_name'=>'a')`, `array('tag_name'=>'A')`) all worked. Probe confirms all three are case-insensitive and behave identically.\n3. set_attribute overwrite semantics. Line 148 (\\\"If set_attribute() is called for an existing attribute it will overwrite the existing value\\\") covered the existing-target-overwritten case without any subject needing a remove-then-set dance.\n4. Implicit robustness. The inside-comment-ignored and nested-markup cases passed for free because the Tag Processor only matches real tag tokens, not text inside comments. No subject had to reason about this explicitly, which is the docs/API doing the right thing by default.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations (no functional impact): Trials 1 and 2 wrote that get_attribute \\\"returns true for boolean attributes\\\" in the href context. That is correct for the `<a href>` valueless form, but slightly conflates two cases — empty `href=\\\"\\\"` returns \\\"\\\" (empty string), not true. Trial 3's comment is the most precise, distinguishing empty-string from valueless-true. None of this affected output because all three only branch on `null !==`, which is robust to the exact non-null type. The docs could tighten this distinction (see doc_gaps) but it did not cause a failure here.",

+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::get_attribute() (html-tag-processor.md, section around lines 1415-1448 and prose at line 81)",
+      "problem": "The three return forms for a present attribute are documented in scattered spots: the boolean-true case appears only in the example block (line 1429) and the 'Returns' note (line 1448 'Boolean attributes return true'), while the empty-string case appears only in distant prose (line 81). Two of three subjects' explanations conflated empty-string (\"\") with boolean-true. The example never shows an attribute written as empty (`x=\"\"`) returning \"\", nor a valueless attribute being distinguished from an empty-valued one.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a compact return-value table or example block to the get_attribute() method section enumerating all four outcomes side by side: present with value -> the string; present but empty (`attr=\"\"`) -> \"\" (empty string); present without a value (`<tag attr>`, the boolean form) -> true; absent -> null. Explicitly contrast `attr=\"\"` (returns \"\") against `attr` alone (returns true) since these look similar but differ, and note that `null !== get_attribute($name)` is the canonical idiom for 'is this attribute present in any form'."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::next_tag() (html-tag-processor.md, lines 39-55) and a general 'case sensitivity' note",
+      "problem": "The tag_name matching examples use lowercase ('img', 'option') while several class-related methods are explicitly labeled 'ASCII case-insensitive'. There is no explicit statement that the tag_name query is itself case-insensitive, so subjects could not be sure whether 'A' vs 'a' (or matching `<A>` vs `<a>`) mattered. Subjects guessed three different spellings; all happened to work, but the docs leave this to chance.",
+      "suggestion": "State directly in next_tag()'s description (or a short shared note) that tag_name matching is ASCII case-insensitive: the query value's case is irrelevant and it matches tags regardless of their source casing. Cross-reference get_tag()'s existing note that it returns the uppercase tag name so readers understand the normalization model."

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed 8/8 with zero _doing_it_wrong records and zero hallucinated/undocumented API. This task's documentation is the cause of that success, and the analysis is therefore about what the docs did well plus near-misses in the explanations.\n\nWhat the docs did well (and why all three converged on the reference pattern):\n1. The `next_token()` method docblock (html-processor.md, ~lines 606-643) contains a near-verbatim template for this exact task: collect text of an element by recording get_current_depth() at the opener and walking `while (next_token() && get_current_depth() >= $depth)` collecting `#text` via get_modifiable_text(). It explicitly states 'An element's text content may be split across several consecutive #text tokens: accumulate text while walking' — directly preventing the single-token assumption.\n2. The `get_current_depth()` docblock (~lines 838-893) spells out the critical, easy-to-get-wrong rule: on a CLOSING token the element is already popped, so its closer reports depth N-1, and 'every token inside it reports a depth of at least N ... The first token to report a depth less than N is the element's own closing token.' This is precisely the invariant all three relied on for the loop-termination boundary, and it explains why nested closers (</em>, </strong>) don't prematurely end the walk — covering the nested-markup and nested-in-div cases.\n3. The unclosed-h1 case (expected 'Runs to the end') passed because next_token()'s docblock states: 'the HTML Processor visits a closing token for every element it opens, including ... elements left unclosed at the end of the input. Walking code can rely on seeing a closer for every opener even in malformed input.' Without that sentence, subjects might have feared an infinite/short walk on malformed input.\n4. The image-only-empty-string case ('') passed implicitly: the walk only appends on get_token_type() === '#text'; an IMG opener/closer never matches, so $text stays '' rather than null. The task text and the natural accumulator pattern align here; the docs' get_token_type() enumeration (#tag vs #text) gave subjects the discriminator.\n5. entities-decoded passed because get_modifiable_text() is documented as returning decoded text. Note a near-miss in the docs themselves: the get_modifiable_text() heading in html-processor.md only says 'Returns the modifiable text for a matched token, or an empty string' and does NOT state that character references are decoded. All three subjects nonetheless asserted decoding in their explanations — they evidently inferred it from the Tag_Processor.md 'Tokens and modifiable text' section (#text nodes / TITLE example: '1 &lt; 2' becomes '1 < 2'). So the fact was discoverable cross-document, but not stated where a reader looking up get_modifiable_text() would land. This is the one place the explanations leaned on a fact the method's own docblock omits.\n\nNear-misses in subject explanations: all three confidently asserted get_modifiable_text() 'automatically decodes character references.' That is correct here, but the assertion was inferred (the method docblock in html-processor.md never says it), so it is a fragile claim — it happens to be right for #text/TITLE/TEXTAREA but would be wrong for raw-text elements (STYLE/SCRIPT), a distinction the Tag_Processor docs draw but the H1-focused subjects never had to confront.\n\nTrials 1 and 2 share one latent robustness gap not exercised by any test: they call $processor->next_tag() without checking create_fragment() for null. The create_fragment() docblock documents the `static|null` return, and the reference guards it, but the only unsupported triggers (non-<body> context, non-UTF-8) never occur in these inputs, so it was never penalized functionally. Trial 3 added the guard. Not a failure, but the doc could make the guard more prominent.\"",

It does not state that character references are decoded for #text nodes (and RCDATA like TITLE/TEXTAREA) but NOT for raw-text elements (STYLE/SCRIPT/etc.). All three subjects correctly assumed decoding, but had to infer it from a different section ('Tokens and modifiable text' in the Tag Processor doc). A reader who lands directly on this method has no statement of the decode behavior, and could wrongly assume decoding applies uniformly to all modifiable-text tokens.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence and a micro-example to the get_modifiable_text() docblock: for #text nodes and RCDATA content (TITLE, TEXTAREA) the returned text has character references decoded (e.g. '&amp;' -> '&'), whereas for raw-text elements (SCRIPT, STYLE) the text is returned verbatim.

Subjects got this right here by luck of the accumulator pattern, but the empty-vs-absent distinction is a common API misuse point.",
+      "suggestion": "In the next_token() text-collection example, add a sentence noting that if an element contains only void/markup children the accumulated text is the empty string '', which is distinct from the null you would return when next_tag() fails to find the element at all."

Root cause is the template `<img src=\"\">` declaring only src; set_attribute('alt') ADDS a new attribute, and the API inserts new attributes immediately after the tag name (verified by probe), so alt lands before the pre-existing src. Not a processor difference: the Tag Processor behaves identically with an img-only-src template. Minor doc-fidelity issue: get_updated_html is documented only on the Tag Processor; here it is called on an HTML Processor instance (inherited, works at runtime, but the subject could not confirm this from the two docs).

(2) serialize() was called AFTER next_tag/set_attribute had already advanced the processor; serialize()'s docblock explicitly requires the initial ready state, so it returns null and emits 'An HTML Processor which has already started processing cannot serialize'. Compounding both: the `<img>` template has no attributes, so even a working path would have produced alt-before-src. The subject did correctly guard the create_fragment null return.

All methods are documented on the Tag Processor class; no misuse, no _doing_it_wrong. Passed 6/6. The only nit is the two-pass (re-create processor for the figcaption walk) which the canonical reference does in a single pass, but it is harmless.

+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "All failures trace to two gaps, neither of which is about encoding (every trial's encoding intent was correct, matching set_attribute/set_modifiable_text docblocks which clearly state the API encodes plain strings).\n\nGAP A — Attribute insertion position (caused all 6 failures in trial-1 and contributed to trial-2). Trials 1 and 2 built templates where the img tag did NOT already contain both attributes (`<img src=\\\"\\\">` and `<img>`). They assumed that calling set_attribute('src', ...) then set_attribute('alt', ...) would yield src-then-alt order. Probe confirms otherwise: when set_attribute CREATES a new attribute it is inserted immediately after the tag name, so adding alt to a tag that already has src produces `alt` before `src`. The task demanded exact order src-then-alt. The Tag Processor 'Modifying HTML attributes for a found tag' section (html-tag-processor.md, ~lines 135-148) says set_attribute 'will overwrite the existing value' for an existing attribute and otherwise 'creates a new attribute', but it never states WHERE a newly-created attribute is placed, nor that placement order differs from call order. The set_attribute method docblock is likewise silent on positioning. Trial 3 only succeeded because it happened to pre-declare both attributes in order, making both calls overwrites; nothing in the docs told it this was the deciding factor — it was luck/good instinct, not guidance.\n\nGAP B — set_modifiable_text target and serialize() preconditions (the two distinct trial-2 failure mechanisms). (1) Trial 2 called set_modifiable_text on the figcaption element opener. set_modifiable_text's docblock describes WHICH token types carry modifiable text (#text nodes, comment interiors, SCRIPT/STYLE/TEXTAREA contents) but every example walks to that token first; it never explicitly warns that calling it on an ordinary element opener (e.g. figcaption) does nothing and returns false. The subject conflated 'set the figcaption's text' with 'call set_modifiable_text while matched on the figcaption tag'. (2) Trial 2 called serialize() after the processor had already advanced. serialize()'s docblock DOES state it 'must not have already started scanning; it must be in the initial ready state' (html-processor.md ~lines 955-1001), so this was a documented-contract violation the subject overlooked — but the doc could make the failure mode (returns null + _doing_it_wrong) more prominent, and crucially provides no documented method to obtain final HTML AFTER editing on the HTML Processor.\n\nGAP C — cross-class method availability. Trials 1 and 2 used get_updated_html and set_modifiable_text on an HTML Processor. Both are inherited from the Tag Processor and work at runtime, but neither appears in html-processor.md's method index or method bodies. A subject reading only the HTML Processor doc has no way to know the canonical 'apply edits then read result' method (get_updated_html) is available there, and is pushed toward serialize() — which has the ready-state restriction that broke trial 2. This is the structural reason trial-2's author reached for serialize() at all.\"",

Subjects assumed creation order follows call order; in fact a freshly-created attribute is inserted right after the tag name, so adding a second attribute to a tag that already has one can reverse the apparent order. This silently broke output whenever exact attribute ordering mattered.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence plus a tiny example to set_attribute: 'When set_attribute creates an attribute that did not previously exist, the new attribute is written immediately after the tag name; it does not append after existing attributes. To control the final attribute order, ensure attributes already exist on the tag (in the desired order) so the calls overwrite in place.' e.g. show `<img src=\"\">` + set_attribute('alt',...) yielding `<img alt=\"...\" src=\"\">`."

So this is a near-total documentation success; the analysis below covers what the docs did well, the one design divergence, and a latent gap the passing results mask.\n\nWhat the docs did well:\n1. The WP_HTML_Processor::next_token() docblock carries a worked text-accumulation example (collect LI text by walking next_token() and appending get_modifiable_text() on '#text' tokens). All three trials reproduce exactly this pattern; trial-1 is almost a transcription. This single example is responsible for the high adherence.\n2. The 'Special atomic HTML elements' section (html-tag-processor.md) explains that SCRIPT/STYLE contents are that element's *modifiable text* and are NOT '#text' nodes. This is precisely why filtering on '#text' produces the expected 'beforeafter' for the script-excluded case. Every trial got this right and trial-1's explanation cites it correctly.\n3. The character-reference decoding note ('TITLE and TEXTAREA ... character references are decoded', and the modifiable-text discussion) plus the next_token example gave subjects confidence that get_modifiable_text() returns decoded text — driving the entities-count-decoded case ('Fish &' from '&amp;'). No trial mis-handled raw-vs-decoded text.\n4. The HTML Processor's stated guarantee that it 'visits a closing token for every element it opens, including elements the HTML specification closes implicitly and elements left unclosed' (next_token docblock) reassured subjects that malformed-nesting ('<div><p>one<p>two</div>tail') is handled — and indeed both processors return 'onetwotail'.\n\nThe one divergence (trials 2 and 3 chose WP_HTML_Tag_Processor instead of WP_HTML_Processor):\n- The reference and the Usage sections lead with create_fragment() for body-context fragments. Trials 2/3 instead instantiated the base Tag Processor. This did not cause any failure because, for pure text concatenation, the two processors are output-identical (I verified across script, style, textarea/title RCDATA, comments, incomplete trailing tags, and table-reconstruction inputs — all SAME). The reason is that the structural work the HTML Processor adds (breadcrumbs, depth, implicit closers, fostering/adoption) does not change which byte ranges are '#text' modifiable text, only how they nest.\n- However this is a latent fragility the green results hide: the docs do NOT clearly tell a reader WHEN the cheaper Tag Processor is sufficient versus when the HTML Processor's 'bail on unsupported markup' safety is needed. The HTML Processor 'should never break an HTML document' and aborts on unsupported input; the Tag Processor follows 'garbage-in-garbage-out' and will happily scan tokens out of any byte soup. For a text-excerpt function those happen to coincide, but a subject could just as easily reach for the Tag Processor in a structure-sensitive task and get silently wrong results. The docs gave no decision rule, so trials 2/3 guessed the lower-level tool and got lucky.\n\nNear-misses in explanations:\n- Trial-1's explanation says SCRIPT/STYLE 'are treated as atomic elements by the API' — accurate and well-grounded in the atomic-elements section.\n- Trials 2/3 assert character references are 'automatically decoded by get_modifiable_text()' — correct, though the docs only state this explicitly for TITLE/TEXTAREA and for the generic modifiable-text discussion; a reader has to infer it applies to ordinary '#text' nodes. It does, but the docs never state the decoding rule for a plain '#text' node directly. This inference happened to be right for all three subjects.",

It worked here only because text extraction is structure-insensitive, but the docs give no guidance on when the HTML Processor's 'bail on unsupported markup' safety actually matters versus when the cheaper Tag Processor suffices.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short 'Which processor should I use?' subsection cross-linked from both Overviews: use WP_HTML_Tag_Processor for purely lexical/per-tag work where document structure is irrelevant (e.g. concatenating all text nodes, editing attributes on individually-matched tags); use WP_HTML_Processor when correctness depends on nesting/structure or when you need the guarantee that malformed or unsupported markup causes a clean bail rather than silently wrong output. State plainly that the Tag Processor follows garbage-in-garbage-out and never aborts."

A reader walking tokens to collect text must realize that filtering on '#text' both correctly excludes SCRIPT/STYLE and excludes TEXTAREA/TITLE text. This consequence for token-walking is never spelled out.",
+      "suggestion": "In the token-walking discussion, add an explicit note: 'When iterating tokens, a SCRIPT/STYLE/TEXTAREA/TITLE element appears as a single tag token whose contents are its modifiable text, not as separate #text tokens. To include or exclude such content, check get_token_name()/get_token_type() for the element rather than relying on #text.' This generalizes the script-exclusion behavior without embedding any specific task."

For a structure-aware walk (the recommended pattern in next_token()), the relationship between '#text' tokens that may be split across consecutive nodes and the decoded modifiable text is only mentioned in passing ('An element's text content may be split across several consecutive #text tokens').",
+      "suggestion": "On the HTML Processor, briefly document or cross-reference get_modifiable_text() and reiterate next to it that an element's text may arrive as multiple consecutive '#text' tokens, so callers must accumulate rather than assume a single token holds all text. This reinforces the correct accumulation pattern that all three subjects used and prevents a single-token assumption bug in adjacent tasks."

The documentation was decisive here because it contains the exact pattern this task requires, so the analysis focuses on what the docs did well and the one near-miss in the explanations.\n\nWhat the docs did well, mapped to each test case:\n\n- simple / image-link-empty-text / unclosed-link (nested markup and incomplete input): html-processor.md `next_token()` (lines 606-643) ships a near-verbatim solution — the `<ul><li>Buy <strong>milk</strong> today.` example that records `get_current_depth()`, loops `while next_token() && get_current_depth() >= $depth`, and accumulates `#text`. The accompanying prose explicitly explains the two non-obvious facts that make the boundary correct: nested closers (`</strong>`) report a depth no lower than the element's contents so the loop continues through them, and 'elements left unclosed at the end of the input' still produce closing tokens (line 616). This is exactly why the unclosed-link case works without special handling. The `<img>` inside `<a>` produces no `#text`, so image-link-empty-text yields '' naturally. All three trials transcribed this idiom.\n\n- valueless-href / no-href-excluded: get_attribute (html-tag-processor.md:1415-1448, mirrored in html-processor.md) documents the `string|true|null` signature with examples — `enabled` (valueless) returns `true`, missing returns `null`, plus the return note 'Boolean attributes return `true`.' All trials filter on `null === $href` and pass `true` straight through, so a bare `<a href>` correctly yields `['href' => true]` rather than being dropped or coerced.\n\n- entity-in-href-decoded / entities-in-text: get_modifiable_text (html-tag-processor.md:1769-1792) states '#text nodes ... character references have been replaced ... `&amp;` is returned as `&`. Do not decode the returned string again,' with a `Fish & Chips` example identical to the entities-in-text expectation. get_attribute returning decoded `/search?q=a&b` is what made the href case pass. No trial double-decoded.\n\nOnly near-miss: trial-2's natural-language explanation asserts nested elements' text nodes are skipped, which contradicts both the requirement and its own passing code (it collects nested #text; only non-#text tokens are skipped). The code is correct; the rationale is wrong. This suggests a reader can copy the doc idiom successfully while still misunderstanding why the depth guard admits nested text — the docs explain why nested *closers* don't end the loop but never state plainly that nested *text* is intentionally included. A one-line statement to that effect would have aligned the explanation with the behavior.",

+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::next_token() — token-walking example (html-processor.md ~lines 614-638)",

Trial-2 copied the idiom correctly yet its written explanation claimed nested text is skipped, revealing the gap. A reader could wrongly believe the loop captures only the element's direct children.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to the example's commentary, e.g.: 'Because descendant #text tokens report a depth no lower than the start depth, this walk concatenates the element's entire text content, including text inside nested children such as <strong>.'

+      "suggestion": "In the next_token() text-collection example comment, add a short note that get_modifiable_text() returns decoded text (character references already resolved), linking to {@see get_modifiable_text}. Keeps the decode-once contract visible at the point of use."

The docs were sufficient for this task. What worked well: (1) The `get_breadcrumbs()` heading (html-processor.md, line 811) plus the IMG example ending in `array('HTML','BODY','P','STRONG','EM','IMG')` made the ancestor-chain semantics concrete, so all subjects correctly used `in_array('BLOCKQUOTE', $breadcrumbs, true)` for arbitrary-depth ancestor detection (deep-ancestor and nested-blockquotes passed without special handling). (2) The 'Breadcrumbs' overview section (lines 50-71) and the note that fragment-parsed tags always contain `array('HTML','BODY',…)` steered subjects to the Processor rather than the Tag Processor — the correct choice, since the Tag Processor exposes no ancestor/breadcrumb API. (3) `create_fragment()`'s documented `static|null` return (line 351, 383) led every subject to guard the null case. (4) `add_class()` documentation noting it preserves whitespace/ordering and merges into existing class lists (html-tag-processor.md line 294) covered existing-class-preserved implicitly. The implicitly-closed-paragraphs and nested-blockquotes cases passed because the Processor builds the real DOM tree from the byte stream, and the docs frame breadcrumbs as the path through that tree — subjects trusted the API to handle implicit closing without manual tracking. Near-misses in the explanations: all three check the FULL breadcrumbs array including the currently-matched node (the trailing P), whereas the reference slices off self with `array_slice($breadcrumbs, 0, -1)`. This is harmless here (a P is never a BLOCKQUOTE), but it reflects an unexamined assumption: none of the subjects noted that the matched element appears in its own breadcrumbs, even though the IMG example shows exactly that. A task like 'mark every BLOCKQUOTE nested inside another BLOCKQUOTE' would turn this into a self-match bug. Confidence calibration was poor and conservative (45/72/82) for three identical, fully-correct solutions, suggesting the docs lacked a worked example tying breadcrumbs directly to an 'is X an ancestor' classification pattern.",

The self-inclusion is shown but not called out, so no subject reasoned about excluding self when an 'ancestor' (proper, strict) test is intended.",
+      "suggestion": "Add an explicit sentence: 'The currently-matched element is always the final entry in the returned array; the entries before it are its ancestors from the root down.' Pair it with a one-line note that to test for a strict ancestor (excluding the node itself) you should examine all but the last entry, e.g. array_slice($crumbs, 0, -1)."

There is no example of the common 'does the matched node have ancestor X at any depth' classification pattern, which is what this task and many real tasks require. Subjects had to infer it; confidence was low (45/72) even when correct.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short worked example showing arbitrary-depth ancestor classification: walk tags with next_tag('P'), then `if ( in_array( 'BLOCKQUOTE', $processor->get_breadcrumbs(), true ) ) { ... }`, with a note that this matches an ancestor at ANY depth (unlike the breadcrumbs query option, which matches a contiguous tail path). This generalizes to any 'is the current node inside an X' check."

Adopted the documented depth-walk idiom (record depth at the TABLE opener, continue while inside) but botched the boundary: used `get_current_depth() > $table_depth` instead of the documented `>=`. Both relevant doc examples (next_token and get_current_depth) use `>= $depth_inside_*`. Probe confirms the THEAD/TBODY closers report depth equal to the TABLE opener's depth (3), so the strict `>` aborts the loop at `</THEAD>` and never reaches TBODY -- this is exactly the thead-tbody failure (returned only [[\"H\"]]). Edge cases otherwise solid: entities decoded, markup contributes nothing, empty cells preserved, no-table returns [].

No hallucinated/undocumented methods: next_tag, next_token, get_token_type, get_tag, is_tag_closer, get_modifiable_text are all in html-tag-processor.md (full 30 here).

Crucial difference from trial-2: every opener branch (TR, TD/TH) first flushes any pending cell/row before starting a new one, and the TABLE-closer branch flushes and breaks, so omitted `</td>`/`</tr>`/`</tbody>` are handled by implicit-close logic. Entities decoded via get_modifiable_text on accumulated #text tokens; empty cells preserved; first-table-only handled by stopping at the first `</TABLE>`. Less idiomatic than the documented depth-walk (re-implements implicit-close bookkeeping the HTML Processor would have done for free, and the redundant strtoupper calls show uncertainty that get_tag/get_token_name already return uppercase), but robust.

+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "Two hidden cases failed across the three trials; both trace to a single class of misunderstanding -- how element boundaries are signaled when walking tokens.\n\nFAILURE 1 -- trial-1, case `thead-tbody` (returned [[\\\"H\\\"]] instead of [[\\\"H\\\"],[\\\"a\\\"],[\\\"b\\\"]]). Misconception: the closer of an intermediate wrapper element (THEAD) reports a depth LOWER than the cells, so the walk can be guarded with a strict `>`. The candidate wrote `while ( next_token() && get_current_depth() > $table_depth )`. A probe shows the TABLE opener is at depth 3 and `</THEAD>` also reports depth 3 (a closer reports its PARENT context, one less than its own opener). With strict `>`, the loop aborts at `</THEAD>` (3 is not > 3) before reaching TBODY. The reference and BOTH documented walk examples use `>=`. Responsible passage: html-processor.md `get_current_depth()` -- its worked example and its second 'Visit every token inside the first UL element' example both show `>= $depth_inside_ul`, and the prose says 'continue while the depth remains at or above that value' and 'The first token to report a depth less than N is the element's own closing token.' The doc is correct but the subject substituted `>` for `>=`. The gap: the doc never states WHY `>=` (not `>`) is required, nor warns that closers of intermediate descendant elements can report the SAME depth as the anchor element's opener. With a deeper nesting (TABLE > THEAD), the anchored opener's depth coincides with a descendant wrapper's closer depth, which is precisely the trap; an explicit note plus a multi-level (table/thead) example would have prevented it.\n\nFAILURE 2 -- trial-2, case `omitted-closers` (returned [[\\\"four\\\"]] instead of [[\\\"one\\\",\\\"two\\\"],[\\\"three\\\",\\\"four\\\"]]). Misconception: when closing tags are omitted, the parser will still deliver some signal (an implied closer, or that a new opener auto-closes the prior cell) that the walking code can rely on. The candidate used WP_HTML_Tag_Processor and its opener branches do NOT flush the previously-open cell/row -- they assume a closer (or nothing) had already flushed it. A probe confirms the Tag Processor emits ONLY the literal tokens present: for `<table><tr><td>one<td>two<tr>...` it yields TR, TD, 'one', TD, 'two', TR, ... with no synthesized `</td>`/`</tr>`. So each new `<td>`/`<tr>` overwrote the in-progress cell/row and the earlier values were dropped; only the final cell before `</table>` survived via the end-of-input fallback. Responsible passage: html-tag-processor.md 'Design and limitations' says the Tag Processor does not recurse and cannot associate an opener with its closer, and the next_token section says nothing about implied/synthesized closers -- but nowhere does it state the contrast plainly: 'the Tag Processor surfaces only tokens that physically appear; it never inserts implied end tags, so callers must close open elements themselves on the next sibling opener.' By contrast html-processor.md's next_token DOES make this guarantee ('visits a closing token for every element it opens, including elements the HTML specification closes implicitly'). Trial-3, using the same Tag Processor, succeeded precisely because it manually flushed pending cells/rows on every opener -- proving the failure was a misunderstanding of token semantics, not an unavoidable limitation.\n\nCross-cutting near-miss: all three explanations claim get_modifiable_text 'automatically handles character reference decoding,' which is true for #text nodes and was confirmed by probe; entities-in-cells and markup-in-cells passed in every trial. The text-accumulation guidance ('text may be split across several consecutive #text tokens: accumulate') was well-followed by all three. The irony worth recording: trial-1 picked the RIGHT processor and failed on a one-character `>` vs `>=` slip, while trial-3 picked the documented-suboptimal Tag Processor and passed by hand-rolling the implicit-close logic the HTML Processor provides for free.",

This produced trial-1's thead-tbody failure.",

This caused trial-2's omitted-closers data loss.",

It never inserts implied end tags for omitted closers (e.g. `<td>a<td>b` yields two TD openers and no `</td>`). When grouping nested structure, the caller must close the previous element itself upon seeing the next sibling opener or the parent closer.'

The docs do list 'Querying based on nested HTML structure' under the HTML Processor and warn about the Tag Processor's lack of recursion, but the guidance is scattered and stated as a future-capability/limitation rather than as a decision rule. Nothing tells a reader 'if you need to know which element contains the current token, or rely on implicit closers, use the HTML Processor.'",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short 'Which processor should I use?' note near the top of both docs: choose WP_HTML_Tag_Processor for attribute/class edits on individually-matched tags in a linear scan; choose WP_HTML_Processor when you need containment/breadcrumbs/depth, correct handling of optional or omitted tags, or a guaranteed closing token for every element. Mention table/list extraction as a canonical case for the HTML Processor."

The reader has to combine three separate passages (is_tag_closer, get_current_depth, next_token) to realize that wrapper closers inside the anchored element are still 'inside' for the purpose of a `>=` walk. This indirectly fed the trial-1 boundary mistake.",

It then uses next_token() to iterate through all tokens within the table, using get_current_depth() to know when it has exited the table. The implementation tracks when entering and exiting cells (TD/TH tags) and rows (TR tags), collecting text content from #text nodes using get_modifiable_text() which automatically handles character reference decoding. By monitoring depth and token types, it naturally handles omitted closing tags as the HTML specification requires.",

The adherence deduction is for an edge-case/idiom flaw the hidden tests don't catch: it emits get_modifiable_text() (DECODED text) RAW into the output string for matching nodes (and for non-matching #text it serialize_token()s, but matched nodes get raw decoded text wrapped in <mark>), then relies on a final WP_HTML_Processor::normalize() pass to re-encode. The get_modifiable_text() docs explicitly say the returned text is decoded ('&amp;' is returned as '&') and must be re-encoded when written back. Probing shows this diverges from the reference whenever decoded text contains markup-significant characters: input '<p>say &lt;b&gt;world&lt;/b&gt; now</p>' yields '<mark>say <b>world</b> now</mark>' (markup injected) instead of the correct re-encoded '<mark>say &lt;b&gt;world&lt;/b&gt; now</mark>', and '&lt;script&gt;world' swallows following tokens. serialize_token() (which it already calls for other tokens) is the documented re-encoding tool and would have been correct.

Self-reported confidence 45 is the lowest of the three, and the code comment 'We need to properly escape the text for HTML' shows the author sensed the encoding hazard but resolved it with normalize() rather than serialize_token().

But the LEAST idiomatic by a wide margin and the worst adherence. It abandons the documented build-output-during-the-token-walk pattern entirely: it serializes once, then RE-PARSES the normalized HTML, records matching token indices, then RECONSTRUCTS the string with a hand-rolled tokenizer/splicer (manual scanning for '<'/'>' and text boundaries with strpos/substr), then parses+serializes a THIRD time. It never calls serialize_token(), reinventing the exact tokenization the API provides. The splicer is fragile: probing shows it drops the <mark> on '<select><option>world' (two consecutive opening tags before the text break its tag-skipping/text-extraction alignment) and on a pure-whitespace text node '  world  ', both of which the reference and trials 1/2 handle. Ironically its splice-on-encoded-HTML approach happens to be MORE robust than trials 1/2 on encoded-markup text (because it operates on already-encoded normalized output), but the multi-pass reparse and hand-rolled tokenization is squarely the anti-pattern the documented token walk + serialize_token exist to avoid. Deductions concentrated in the idiomatic-patterns and edge-case dimensions."

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden case failed in any trial: all three are 8/8. So this analysis covers (a) what the docs did well, (b) latent misconceptions the frozen test set fails to expose, and (c) the documentation passages responsible.\n\nWHAT THE DOCS DID WELL: Three things steered every subject correctly. (1) The 'Tokens and finer-grained processing' / next_token walk examples in html-tag-processor.md and the next_token() example in html-processor.md (lines ~624-642) directly model `while ($processor->next_token()) { if ('#text' === $processor->get_token_type()) ... get_modifiable_text() }` — every trial reproduced this. (2) get_modifiable_text() (html-tag-processor.md ~1769-1792) clearly states the returned text is already DECODED ('&amp;' returned as '&'), which is why every trial correctly matched the keyword against decoded text and passed entity-encoded-keyword-matches and keyword-in-comment-not-wrapped. (3) normalize()/serialize() (html-processor.md ~903-993) enumerate exactly the normalization side-effects the task demands (double-quoted attrs, omitted tags added, text re-encoded), so subjects knew how to get the normalized output and passed normalization-side-effects and simple-unclosed.\n\nTHE SHARED MISCONCEPTION (trials 1 & 2): conflating 'decoded modifiable text for reading' with 'serialized text for writing back into HTML'. Both subjects wrote the DECODED get_modifiable_text() raw into the output string for matched nodes and trusted the final normalize() to fix encoding. This is wrong because normalize() reparses its input as HTML: a decoded '<' or '&' in the text is interpreted as markup, not as literal text. The hidden tests never expose it only because no case places an encoded markup character ('&lt;', '&amp;amp;') inside a matched text node — entity-encoded-keyword-matches uses '&#111;' which decodes to a harmless letter. Probes confirm divergence on '<p>say &lt;b&gt;world&lt;/b&gt; now</p>'. RESPONSIBLE PASSAGE: get_modifiable_text() does say 'Do not decode the returned string again' and points to set_modifiable_text() for writing, and serialize_token() (html-processor.md ~1003-1024) says it 'produces a fully-normative HTML string for the currently-matched token' — but nothing connects these dots for the 'rebuild a document token-by-token' use case. There is no worked example showing that, when emitting tokens to a string, you must use serialize_token() (which re-encodes) and must NOT splice get_modifiable_text() back in raw. The reference relies on exactly this; the docs never demonstrate it.\n\nTHE TRIAL-3 MISCONCEPTION: that you must reparse and string-splice to inject a wrapper element, because the docs show how to READ tokens and how to normalize a whole fragment, but never show how to BUILD a transformed serialization in a single walk. RESPONSIBLE ABSENCE: serialize_token() has only a 3-line description and a one-line 'See: static::serialize()'; it has no example and no statement that concatenating serialize_token() across a full next_token() walk reproduces the normalized document (so you can interleave your own markup). Lacking that, trial-3 invented a fragile hand-rolled tokenizer that breaks on '<select><option>' and whitespace-only text nodes (verified by probe). serialize_token() is the single most under-documented method relative to its importance for this class of task.\"",

Trial-3 invented a fragile reparse-and-string-splice instead; trials 1/2 spliced raw decoded text and relied on normalize().",

It releases the prior bookmark each iteration so nothing accumulates, but the pattern is the one the docs warn against. (2) The is_tag_closer() guard is harmless but rests on a misconception: its inline comment claims it 'Skip[s] H2 tags inside comments', whereas next_tag('H2') already defaults to tag_closers=>'skip' (verified: never returns closers) and comments are separate tokens entirely.

Explanation correctly notes comments are not lexical tags. One trivial non-idiomatic wrinkle: it calls release_bookmark on the literal name immediately before re-set_bookmark with the same name every iteration; overwriting is fine so the release is redundant, but it is harmless.

Because there are no functional failures, the analysis focuses on what the docs enabled and the near-misses in reasoning.\n\nWhat the docs did well: The 'Bookmarks' / set_bookmark / seek sections (tag-processor lines ~189-208, 1048-1145) gave a directly transferable walk-and-seek pattern, including the exact 'scan, set a bookmark each match, then seek back to the last one' shape this task needs (the last-li example at lines 1083-1100 is almost isomorphic to mark_last_h2). All three subjects reproduced it. add_class's documented whitespace/class-order preservation (line 294) is why the existing-class case ('outro' -> 'outro final-section') passed without anyone reasoning about it explicitly. next_tag's documented case-insensitive tag_name and string-shorthand form let trials 2/3 use lowercase 'h2' safely.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations:\n1. Comment handling (comment-h2-not-counted case): All three explanations assert next_tag 'automatically' excludes/ignores tags inside comments. This is true but for an unstated reason — the processor tokenizes '<!-- ... -->' as a single comment token, so the inner '<h2>' is never a tag at all. The docs never state this plainly; subjects asserted the right outcome on intuition. The docs mention comment token types (e.g. 'Funky comment', line 466; abruptly-closed comments, line 1227) but never give the load-bearing sentence: 'markup inside a comment is not parsed as tags and next_tag() will not stop on it.' Had a comment case been adversarial, this gap could have produced a wrong but confident answer.\n2. Tag-closer vs comment conflation (trial-1): trial-1 added an is_tag_closer() guard and commented it as 'Skip H2 tags inside comments'. The docs do explain (line 442, 910, 1607) that next_tag defaults to skipping closers, so the guard is inert; but the subject clearly did not internalize that default and mislabeled closers as comments. The default-skip behavior of tag_closers is documented only obliquely in the $query @type table and the $stop_on_tag_closers property, not stated as a one-line default in the next_tag prose, which is why a subject could be unsure enough to add a defensive guard with the wrong justification.\n3. Bookmark naming idiom (trial-1): the docs warn twice (lines 191, 1107) against programmatic bookmark names, but trial-1 still used uniqid(). The warning is present and clear; this is a subject-side adherence lapse rather than a doc gap, though pairing the warning with a positive 'reuse one literal name in a loop' code snippet next to the prohibition would make the right pattern harder to miss.",
+  "doc_gaps": [
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::next_tag() — prose description (around lines 39-55)",
+      "problem": "The prose never states that markup appearing inside HTML comments (and other non-tag tokens) is not parsed as tags, so next_tag() will never stop on it. All three subjects relied on this behavior and asserted it correctly, but on intuition rather than documentation; an adversarial comment case could have produced confident wrong reasoning.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to next_tag()'s description: 'next_tag() only stops on real HTML tags. Text that looks like a tag but sits inside a comment, CDATA, or other non-tag token (e.g. <!-- <h2> --> ) is part of that token and is never matched.' A two-line example showing a commented-out tag being skipped would lock this in."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::next_tag() — $query / tag_closers default (description prose, complementing the @type table at line 910)",
+      "problem": "That next_tag() defaults to skipping tag closers ('skip') is documented only inside the $query @type table and the private $stop_on_tag_closers property, not in the method prose. A subject (trial-1) was unsure enough to add an is_tag_closer() guard and mislabeled closers as 'comments', revealing the default was not obvious from the prose.",
+      "suggestion": "State the default explicitly in next_tag()'s prose: 'By default next_tag() stops only on tag openers; closing tags such as </h2> are skipped. Pass tag_closers => \\'visit\\' to also stop on closers.' This removes the need for defensive is_tag_closer() guards when only openers are wanted."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "Bookmarks section / set_bookmark() (lines 191 and 1107)",
+      "problem": "The docs correctly prohibit programmatic bookmark names ('mark_{$index}') and say it is fine to update one bookmark frequently in a loop, but the prohibition and the recommended pattern are stated abstractly with no positive code snippet. Trial-1 still generated uniqid()-based names, suggesting the right pattern is easy to overlook when the only nearby code uses two distinct literal names.",
+      "suggestion": "Next to the prohibition, add a short positive example of the exact 'track the last match' idiom: a loop that calls $p->set_bookmark( 'last-match' ) on every iteration and then seeks to it once after the loop, with a one-line note that re-setting the same literal name simply moves the bookmark (no release_bookmark needed between iterations). This both shows the sanctioned pattern and removes the redundant release_bookmark calls seen in trials 2 and 3."

The documentation was sufficient for a fully correct solution, and the canonical reference (normalize() + null-check + ===) was independently rediscovered by two of three subjects, with the third using the documented equivalent create_fragment()+serialize() pair.\n\nAnalysis of what the docs did well: The normalize()/serialize() docblocks (html-processor.md L903-1001) are the load-bearing passages. They state plainly that the operation 'normalizes an HTML fragment by serializing it,' enumerate the exact transforms that make differing inputs compare equal (attribute values double-quoted, duplicate attributes removed, omitted tags added, tag/attribute case lower-cased, text re-encoded, trailing incomplete syntax dropped), and document the 'string|null ... null if unable to normalize' return. That null contract is precisely what every subject keyed on to satisfy the 'if either input cannot be fully parsed, return false' requirement. The worked examples (L930-939) showing implied tbody/tr/td insertion and entity/text re-encoding directly model the implied-closers, tag-case, and structure cases in the test.\n\nNear-misses / what the docs did NOT explicitly guarantee, yet the tests required:\n1. Character-reference spelling equivalence (test case entity-spellings-equal: &amp; vs &AMP; -> true). The doc lists 'Text will be re-encoded' but never states that distinct source spellings of the same character reference collapse to one canonical form. All subjects assumed this and were right, but it was an inference, not a documented fact. The 'See: normalize()' section even says references are normalized only via the generic 're-encoded' bullet.\n2. Attribute-order preservation (test case attribute-order-differs -> false). The docs say duplicate attributes are removed and values double-quoted but say nothing about whether source attribute order is preserved or sorted. A subject could reasonably have feared normalize() sorts attributes (which would have broken the false expectation). It does not, but the docs are silent — this likely explains trial-3's low 75 confidence despite a perfect solution.\n3. The 'unsupported' parse-error path (test case misnesting-unsupported-false). The docs document that normalize()/serialize() return null when 'unable,' but never connect this to the HTML Processor's 'unsupported' bailout (mis-nested formatting elements per the adoption-agency algorithm) NOR warn that serialize()/normalize() emits a _doing_it_wrong / E_USER_WARNING ('Cannot serialize HTML Processor with parsing error: unsupported.') in that situation. All three trials triggered this notice (visible in every execution.json on the misnesting case) without anticipating it. It did not affect correctness because null was still returned, but a subject aiming for clean (warning-free) output had no documented way to know the warning would fire or how to avoid it.",

The analysis below covers what the docs did well and the one systematic near-miss shared by all three subjects.\n\nWhat the docs did well: The html-tag-processor.md 'next_token()' section (line 216) explicitly teaches the bare token-walk pattern ('scan through every lexical token... takes no argument'), and the 'get_token_type()' / 'get_token_name()' headings establish the '#tag' vs name distinction and that get_token_name returns the uppercase tag name for tag matches (line 1669). That combination is exactly what every subject used to identify and skip SPAN openers and closers, which is why nested-spans, adjacent-spans, and span-with-block-content all passed without special handling. The 'serialize_token()' section ('produces a fully-normative HTML string for the currently-matched token') gave subjects the per-token rebuild primitive, and the 'normalize()' example with '<div></p>fun<table>...' demonstrated optional-tag closing and '&AMP;' -> '&amp;' re-encoding, which directly covers the no-spans-normalized-passthrough and unclosed-span cases.\n\nThe systematic near-miss (all three trials): every subject appended a redundant whole-fragment WP_HTML_Processor::normalize() pass over the concatenated serialize_token() output. The canonical reference relies on serialize_token() alone. I verified the two are byte-identical on all 7 hidden cases (the extra normalize is idempotent on already-normative input), so it cost no test failures -- but it is conceptually muddled and not equivalent in general: on adversarial table foster-parenting input ('<table><span><tr><td>x</td></tr></span></table>') serialize_token-only yields '<table>' while the double-normalize yields '<table></table>'. The misconception is not knowing that serialize_token() output is ALREADY normative per-token and that concatenated normative tokens form normative HTML, so no second pass is needed. Responsibility lies in a documentation gap, not a wrong statement: the 'serialize_token()' docblock says it is 'fully-normative' for a single token but never states the consequence that you can accumulate serialize_token() results across a next_token() walk to produce a normalized whole-fragment serialization without a follow-up normalize()/serialize() call. Lacking that bridge, subjects defensively reached for the prominently-documented normalize() example to 'ensure' normalization. The 'normalize()' and 'serialize()' headings also do not contrast themselves against the per-token serialize_token() walk, so the three serialization entry points read as overlapping rather than complementary.\"",

All three subjects, missing this, added a redundant WP_HTML_Processor::normalize() over the accumulated output -- harmless here but non-equivalent in general (it can re-close foster-parented tables differently).",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short usage note plus a minimal example showing the canonical token-filter-and-rebuild loop: 'while ($p->next_token()) { if (skip) continue; $out .= $p->serialize_token(); }' and state explicitly that the accumulated result is already normalized -- do NOT pass it back through normalize()/serialize(), which re-parses and may restructure it.

+      "suggestion": "Add a one-line cross-reference/disambiguation to each: normalize($html) and serialize() normalize a WHOLE fragment in a single shot (use when you are not walking tokens yourself); serialize_token() normalizes the CURRENT token only (use inside a next_token() loop when selectively emitting tokens).

Subject: [PATCH 015/193] HTML API docs experiment: ingest tooling for the
 long-run loop.

ingest-trials.py and ingest-judges.py condense per-round bookkeeping
(persist, execute, aggregate, compare, gap digest with held-out gaps
marked DO-NOT-ACT) into single commands, keeping orchestration
overhead low across the 100+ round goal.

Subject: [PATCH 016/193] HTML API docs round 4, hypothesis 1: serialization is
 not how you read edits.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Round 3 confirmed the serialize_token() idiom (round-3 H3) helped its
targets (T09 +8.6, T12 +2.2) but induced a T07 regression (-33.7): two
trials called serialize() after add_class(), got null (scanning had
begun), and returned the unmodified input. Refining rather than
reverting, disclosed in LOG: state the boundary explicitly on both
serialize() and serialize_token() — queued attribute/class/text
updates are read with the inherited get_updated_html(); serialize()
demands a fresh processor and returns null once scanning has begun;
serialization is for normalizing/rewriting, get_updated_html() for

Subject: [PATCH 017/193] HTML API docs round 4, hypothesis 2: which tokens
 carry modifiable text.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Two of three round-3 trials on the build-figure task produced empty
captions: they matched the empty FIGCAPTION tag and called
set_modifiable_text(), which returns false there — ordinary container
elements carry no text of their own and an empty element has no #text
token to modify. Nothing documented this. State the eligible token
kinds, the empty-element limitation, the check-the-return-value rule,
and the placeholder-template idiom (verified by execution).

Subject: [PATCH 018/193] HTML API docs round 4, hypothesis 3: bookmark name
 reuse is the last-X idiom.

T10 adherence sat at ~80 because the set_bookmark() docblock forbids
programmatic names without stating the supported alternative; subjects
hedged with bookmark-count workarounds. State explicitly that
re-setting an existing name MOVES the bookmark (no leak, no release
needed) and that same-name-per-match is the idiom for tracking the
last occurrence in one pass (verified by execution; the docblock's
own last-li example already relied on it silently).

Also state the documented default for next_tag()'s tag_closers option
('skip'), which round-3 judges flagged as unstated.

helped their targets (T09 +8.6, T12 +2.2, N06 +10.7, N04 100) but the
serialization idiom induced T07 -33.7 (serialize() after mutations).
Refined rather than reverted, with the boundary now stated. Round-4
hypotheses committed separately.

+## Round 3 — Haiku, first edits under test on revised corpus (checkpoint)
+
+**All-19 87.41 / core 85.92 / train 90.66 (−1.9) / held-out 75.22.**
+Mixed: round-3 edits helped their targets — T09 +8.6, T12 +2.2, N06
++10.7 (support-claims rewrite), N04 at 100 — but the serialize_token()
+idiom INDUCED a T07 regression (−33.7): two trials called serialize()
+after add_class(), got null (scanning had begun), and fell back to the
+unmodified input. Decision: refine, not revert, disclosed here — the
+edit measurably helped its targets; the harm is one missing boundary
+statement (get_updated_html() vs serialize()). T04 unchanged (45.1):
+trials missed the placement note AND hit a new gap — calling
+set_modifiable_text() on an empty FIGCAPTION is a silent no-op (no
+#text token exists). Held-out N05 fell further (RCDATA text location;
+still no edit — held-out must not drive edits, but the T04-driven
+modifiable-text inventory edit covers the same general fact).
+
+Round-4 hypotheses (committed):
+1. Serialization is not how you read edits — boundary stated on
+   serialize() and serialize_token(); get_updated_html() is the
+   post-edit read path (T07).
+2. Which tokens carry modifiable text: container elements carry none,
+   empty elements cannot receive text, placeholder-template idiom,
+   check the return value (T04).
+3. Bookmark same-name re-set MOVES the bookmark — the last-X idiom
+   (T10 adherence); also stated tag_closers default ('skip').
+
+Train gap backlog (not yet acted on): tag-name query case-insensitivity;
+comment/rawtext can't match next_tag(); add_class idempotency at the
+method heading; get_attribute returns decoded values; get_namespace and
+foreign-content naming; Tag-vs-HTML-Processor chooser note; multi-cell
+subtree text-collection example; get_updated_html prominence in the
+HTML Processor method index.

Idiomatic intent (token walking inside an element via captured opener depth) but materially DEVIATED from the documented pattern: it added a `current_depth > heading_depth -> continue` branch that discards every token nested below the heading opener. Since a #text node directly inside <h1> sits at heading_depth+1 (probe: H1 opener depth 3, its text at depth 4), this filter throws away ALL heading text, contradicting html-processor.md line 846 (\"every token inside it reports a depth of at least N\") and the worked example at lines 620-636/880-889 which use `>= depth` and explicitly keep nested tokens. Result: 5/7 fail with empty text (only 'none' and 'image-only-heading', whose expected text is empty, pass). Pattern misuse, not invention, so ~17/25 idiomatic. Edge handling intent present (decoded text via get_modifiable_text, depth-based exit on incomplete input) ~ 11/15, but undermined by the same depth error.

Edge cases handled by relying on documented guarantees: get_modifiable_text decodes entities (Q&amp;A -> Q&A), the HTML Processor emits closers for unclosed elements so 'unclosed-heading' terminates the inner loop, and an image-only heading yields no #text so text stays '' (15/15). Minor: collecting at all depths >= heading_depth rather than tracking direct-vs-nested is exactly what the task wants (markup contributes nothing, nested text included). Confidence 72."

Most direct match to the documented example: inline `while ( $processor->next_token() && $processor->get_current_depth() >= $heading_depth )` collecting #text with get_modifiable_text -- essentially the html-processor.md lines 880-889 snippet (25/25).

+  "failure_analysis": "All failures are concentrated in trial-1; trials 2 and 3 passed every hidden case. Trial-1 failed 5 of 7 cases (simple, all-levels, entities, nested-in-sections, unclosed-heading) -- in each, the heading level was correct but text came back empty. Root misconception: trial-1 believed a heading's direct text content lives at the SAME depth as the heading opener, so it kept only tokens where `current_depth === heading_depth` and added `if ( current_depth > heading_depth ) continue;` to \\\"skip child elements.\\\" In reality the heading opener is itself a token at depth N, and its text children are at depth N+1 (verified by probe: <h1> opener at depth 3, its #text at depth 4). The `> heading_depth -> continue` branch therefore discarded every text node, so all non-empty headings produced ''. The two cases trial-1 'passed' (none, image-only-heading) are false positives -- their expected text is '' anyway. \\n\\nThe responsible documentation is html-processor.md get_current_depth() (heading `### get_current_depth()`, lines 836-889) and the next_token() example (lines 618-636). These passages are actually correct and emphatic about the right model: line 844 states non-element tokens count themselves and a #text directly inside BODY is depth 3 (HTML > BODY > #text), i.e. one deeper than BODY; line 846 says \\\"For an element whose opener reported depth N, every token inside it reports a depth of at least N\\\"; line 849 says \\\"continue while the depth remains at or above that value\\\"; and both worked examples (lines 626 and 885) use `>= $depth` and explicitly comment that nested elements' tokens are included. Trials 2 and 3 copied this idiom verbatim and passed everything. Trial-1 read the same docs but inverted the relationship -- it treated `>= depth` as `== depth` plus an explicit exclusion of deeper tokens -- effectively ignoring the documented guarantee that the opener and its direct text occupy DIFFERENT depths. So this is a comprehension failure against present, correct documentation rather than a documentation absence. The near-miss worth flagging: the docs never show a single token's own depth relative to the opener of the element that contains it in a way that makes \\\"the opener is one level ABOVE its own text\\\" unmissable; the depth example walks <div><p></p></div> with no text node inside the matched element, and the next_token example's text is one level below <li> but the snippet's design hides the trap because it never tempts the reader to use `== depth`. A reader predisposed to \\\"direct children only\\\" can still mis-map the levels.",

The walk-through example uses <div><p></p></div> with no text, and the collection examples only show the >= guard without ever contrasting it against the wrong == or >-exclusion approach. A reader who thinks 'direct text is at the element's level' (as trial-1 did) gets no example that directly refutes that, leading to filtering out all of an element's text.",

The fix in trial-1 came from a plausible-but-wrong refinement ('skip deeper-nested tokens so I only get direct text'), which the examples do not warn against. The examples also do not clarify that to get an element's full visible text you WANT the deeper tokens (nested inline markup's text), so excluding depth > openerDepth is always wrong for text accumulation.",

This generalizes beyond headings to any text-extraction task."

The explanation reveals the cause: it (correctly) read has_class as ASCII case-insensitive and then ASSUMED remove_class would also be case-insensitive, so it avoided it. That assumption is wrong (probe: remove_class is case-sensitive), but the docs gave no statement either way, so the avoidance is understandable. Edge-case handling is genuinely deficient, not just stylistically: explode(' ') splits only on a single literal space and set_attribute rebuilds the value, so on 'external   link' (multiple internal spaces) or tab/newline separators it produces class=\"  link\" where remove_class yields class=\"link\". The hidden tests don't probe internal-whitespace cases, so it passed 7/7 by test-selection luck while diverging from the documented whitespace-preservation guarantee. set_attribute would also force double-quoting (line 294/2059), another behavior it didn't reason about."

Probe confirms class_list yields case-preserving exact names, so the case-sensitive gate is correct. The explanation correctly identifies that has_class is case-insensitive and routes around it via class_list. The only deduction: the class_list guard is redundant since remove_class is itself case-sensitive — the model added it because the docs don't state remove_class's case behavior, so it couldn't trust remove_class alone. Net effect is correct and well-reasoned, just slightly over-engineered. Passed 7/7."
+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed 7/7. The instructive signal is therefore in HOW each trial reached correctness and where the docs forced guesswork.\n\nThe pivotal documentation issue is an undocumented case-sensitivity asymmetry between the class methods. has_class() is explicitly documented as 'ASCII case-insensitive' (html-tag-processor.md lines 330, 1032, 1042), but remove_class() (section '### remove_class()', lines 2174-2194) and add_class() say nothing about case at all. The task requires case-SENSITIVE matching (case 'case-sensitive-not-removed': class=\\\"EXTERNAL\\\" must survive remove_class('external')). Probes confirm the real behavior: remove_class IS case-sensitive (it left EXTERNAL untouched) and class_list() yields exact case-preserving names. So the reference one-liner is correct — but the docs never let a reader confirm that.\n\nThis gap shaped every trial:\n- Trial 1 used remove_class directly and passed, but only because it (silently) assumed case-sensitivity the docs never granted. Had remove_class been case-insensitive like has_class, this would have failed 'case-sensitive-not-removed'. Lucky-correct, doc-unsupported.\n- Trial 2 made the OPPOSITE inference: seeing has_class documented as case-insensitive, it generalized 'the class methods are case-insensitive' to remove_class and deliberately avoided it, hand-rolling class filtering with get_attribute + explode(' ') + set_attribute. That detour is where its real (untested) fragility lives — it collapses/mishandles internal whitespace and only splits on single spaces, diverging from the documented whitespace-preservation behavior of remove_class (line 294). The misconception is directly traceable to the docs documenting case behavior for has_class but leaving remove_class silent, inviting a false generalization.\n- Trial 3 hedged: it used class_list() (correctly relying on case-preserving iteration, though class_list's docblock at lines 997-1024 never explicitly states the iteration is byte-exact/case-sensitive) to gate remove_class. Correct, but the guard is redundant; the model only added it because remove_class's case behavior is undocumented and thus untrustworthy.\n\nIn short: the single absent fact — 'remove_class/add_class match class names case-sensitively (byte-for-byte), unlike has_class which is ASCII case-insensitive' — is responsible for one lucky guess (trial 1), one fragile workaround (trial 2), and one unnecessary defensive layer (trial 3). What the docs DID do well: line 294 clearly documents that add_class/remove_class preserve whitespace and class ordering, and the only-class-removed-drops-attribute behavior is borne out by the examples; this is why every trial that actually used remove_class produced correct whitespace output without reasoning about it.\"",

+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "Two distinct misconceptions, both rooted in the breadcrumbs documentation, caused all four failures across trials 1 and 3. Trial 2 passed everything by using the one documented approach that actually expresses arbitrary-depth descendant matching.\n\nROOT CONCEPT: A breadcrumb array (whether passed to the next_tag 'breadcrumbs' query or to matches_breadcrumbs()) is matched as a SUFFIX of the open-element stack using the child combinator only. The last element must equal the matched tag; each earlier element must be the immediate parent of the next. The only relaxation is '*', which matches exactly one element. There is no descendant combinator and no '**'. So neither facility can express 'FIGURE somewhere among my ancestors at unknown depth.' For that you must read get_breadcrumbs() and test membership yourself (in_array('FIGURE', ..., true)).\n\ntrial-1, case nested-depth (FAIL): Input FIGURE>DIV>A>IMG (probe-confirmed breadcrumbs HTML,BODY,FIGURE,DIV,A,IMG). Subject OR'd two patterns: array('FIGURE','IMG') needs FIGURE as direct parent (false here) and array('FIGURE','*','IMG') needs exactly ONE element between FIGURE and IMG (false: DIV and A are two). The single wildcard cannot stretch. Responsible passage: 'matches_breadcrumbs()' heading (html-processor.md ~line 717-748), specifically the statement 'A \\\"*\\\" represents a single tag wildcard' plus the note that '**' is intentionally omitted. The example there (span/figure/img) only ever shows ONE level of indirection, so a reader can over-generalize that one '*' suffices for 'nesting.' The docs are technically correct but give no worked example of unbounded depth nor an explicit 'for arbitrary depth, iterate get_breadcrumbs()' pointer next to matches_breadcrumbs().\n\ntrial-3, cases nested-depth, figcaption-sibling, unclosed-figure (3 FAILs): Subject used next_tag(array('breadcrumbs'=>array('FIGURE','IMG'))). Probes confirm this only yields IMGs whose immediate parent is FIGURE; it skips FIGURE>DIV>A>IMG (deep.jpg), FIGURE>FIGCAPTION>IMG (cap.jpg), and FIGURE>P>IMG (later.jpg, where the unclosed FIGURE keeps the later P—and its IMG—inside FIGURE). The subject's own explanation wrongly claims the query 'matches IMG elements that are nested within FIGURE at any depth.' Responsible passage: the 'Breadcrumbs' subsection of next_tag (html-processor.md ~line 48-72), in particular line 56: 'tags may be found with the shortest-matching breadcrumb query. That is, array('IMG') matches all IMG and array('P','IMG') matches all IMG elements directly inside a P element.' The phrase 'shortest-matching' is easy to misread as 'a short query matches loosely / at any depth,' when it actually means the opposite: you may omit the implied outer HTML/BODY prefix, but every element you DO list is still a strict child-combinator step. The example block (lines 60-71) only demonstrates direct-parent or fixed-depth matches and the BODY>IMG case that deliberately excludes nesting—so nothing in the example set demonstrates that 'FIGURE>IMG' will NOT catch a deeply nested IMG.\n\nWHAT THE DOCS DID WELL: get_breadcrumbs() is documented clearly with an HTML>BODY>P>STRONG>EM>IMG example (line 823-825) showing the full ancestor stack, and the Breadcrumbs subsection explicitly states the stack 'always contain[s] any implicit outermost elements' including HTML and BODY. Trial 2 read this correctly and the in_array idiom followed naturally. The missing piece is an explicit contrast: the docs never put 'use the breadcrumbs query for fixed structure; iterate get_breadcrumbs() + membership test for any-depth ancestor' side by side, which is exactly the decision both failing trials got wrong.\"",

Two subjects assumed array('FIGURE','IMG') would catch IMG nested several levels below FIGURE.",

I confirmed the behavior independently by probing the harness against all nine cases — every result matched expected.\n\nWhy the docs succeeded here: the discoverability path is short and unambiguous. The `paused_at_incomplete_token()` method exists with a clear one-line summary in the Method Index (line 328) and a worked example in its docblock (lines 983-987) showing exactly `next_tag()` returning false then `paused_at_incomplete_token()` returning true for a cut-off attribute (`'<input type=\"text\" value=\"Th'`). The 'When matching fails' section (lines 84-111) explicitly explains the pause-on-incomplete-syntax concept and, crucially, extends it to unclosed special elements (the STYLE example, lines 105-110) — which is exactly what test case `unterminated-script` exercises. The 'Tokens and finer-grained processing' section (lines 214-239) supplies the `while ($processor->next_token())` walking idiom the subjects used to drain the document before checking the paused flag. Subjects combined these two passages correctly.\n\nNear-misses / what could have tripped a weaker subject: the docblock example for `paused_at_incomplete_token()` pairs it with `next_tag()`, not `next_token()`. A subject could have written a `next_tag()` loop instead. That would still pass all nine cases here (next_tag also pauses and sets the flag), but it is a subtly different contract — next_tag only stops on tags, so a document whose only incompleteness is, say, a truncated comment after some text would still be caught because the pause happens regardless of token type. The subjects' choice of `next_token()` (matching the reference) is marginally more correct in intent because it walks every token type, and none of them justified the choice over next_tag — they relied on the token-walking section's example. No subject mishandled the two 'false' boundary cases the task warns about (lone trailing `<` is text; `<div>unclosed element` is structurally-unclosed-but-lexically-complete); the paused flag correctly returns false for both, but note that none of the docs the subjects saw explicitly document these two negative boundaries — the subjects got them right by trusting the flag rather than by reading a doc passage covering them.",
+  "doc_gaps": [
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::paused_at_incomplete_token()",
+      "problem": "The docblock example demonstrates only one positive case (a tag cut inside an attribute value) and pairs the method with next_tag(). It does not show any case where the method returns false, nor the important negative boundaries: a lone trailing `<` is complete text, and a structurally-unclosed-but-lexically-complete element (e.g. `<div>text`) is NOT a paused/incomplete state. A reader cannot tell from the docblock alone where the true/false line falls.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one or two false-returning examples alongside the true one, e.g. show that `'<p>ok</p>'` and `'ends with <'` (lone `<` treated as text) and `'<div>unclosed'` (open element, but every token complete) all yield paused_at_incomplete_token() === false, contrasted with the truncated-attribute case yielding true. State explicitly that the flag reports *lexical* incompleteness of the final token, not structural unclosedness of elements."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::paused_at_incomplete_token() and the 'Tokens and finer-grained processing' section",
+      "problem": "The only worked example of the pause flag uses next_tag(). The token-walking idiom (`while ($processor->next_token())`) is documented in a separate section with no cross-reference to the pause flag, so the natural pattern 'drain all tokens, then check if it paused mid-token' is left for the reader to assemble. The relationship between draining the document and the flag being meaningful only after the loop ends is implicit.",
+      "suggestion": "In the paused_at_incomplete_token() docblock, add a short note and example showing the full drain-then-check pattern with next_token() (loop until it returns false, then read the flag), and cross-link it from the token-walking section. Clarify that the flag is only meaningful after iteration has reached the end of input."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor 'When matching fails' / 'Special self-contained elements' sections",
+      "problem": "The text explains that an unclosed special element (STYLE example) counts as an incomplete token and pauses the parser, but this fact is split across two sections and tied to next_tag()'s false return rather than stated as a general property observable via paused_at_incomplete_token(). A reader looking only at the pause-flag method would not learn that `'<script>...'` with no `</script>` triggers it.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a one-line note in the paused_at_incomplete_token() docblock that unclosed special/rawtext elements (SCRIPT, STYLE, TITLE, TEXTAREA, etc.) whose closing tag never arrives also leave the parser paused at an incomplete token, with a pointer to the special-elements list."

But TITLE is a 'special atomic element' (docs: 'Special self-contained elements' / 'Special atomic HTML elements') whose contents ARE the opener's modifiable text; there is no separate inner #text token. next_token() lands on the HEAD closer (a #tag), so get_modifiable_text() returns '' for every non-empty title. 2/7 pass only because empty-title and no-title coincidentally expect '' / null.

All methods documented; no hallucinations. Handles null-on-failed-create, null-on-no-title, and empty-string-on-empty-title correctly. 7/7. Only near-miss vs the reference: it omits the !is_tag_closer() guard on the TITLE match. Harmless here because TITLE is atomic and the HTML Processor emits no separate TITLE closer (verified), but slightly less defensive. Highest-confidence response (78) and the only correct one."

The subject conflated the two classes' construction APIs — the Tag Processor's only documented constructor is 'new WP_HTML_Tag_Processor( $html )'. Even absent the hallucination, the code repeats trial-1's broken pattern: next_tag to the TITLE opener, then next_token expecting an inner #text node, which would also fail since TITLE content is the opener's modifiable text. Two compounding errors. No _doing_it_wrong records because execution aborted at construction. Lowest adherence: hallucinated undocumented API plus non-idiomatic atomic-element handling."
+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "Two distinct failure modes, both rooted in how TITLE's text is exposed.\n\nFAILURE MODE A — 'advance to an inner #text node' for TITLE (trial-1: standard-document, entities-decoded, no-doctype, attributes-on-elements, minimal-document; trial-3: all cases share this latent bug even apart from its hard error). The misconception: that a TITLE element contains a child #text token you reach by calling next_token() after matching the opener. In reality TITLE is one of the 'special atomic elements' — its entire content (decoded) is the *opener token's* modifiable text. Probed: after next_tag(TITLE), get_modifiable_text() already returns 'My Site — Home' / 'Implied structure'; the very next token is the HEAD closer (a #tag), whose modifiable text is ''. So trial-1 returns '' for every non-empty title and passes only the two cases whose expected value happens to be '' or null. The docs DO state the fact, but only descriptively and split across two passages — Tag Processor 'Special self-contained elements' ('TITLE content is plain text but character references are decoded') and 'Special \\\"atomic\\\" HTML elements' ('The inner contents of these elements are that element's *modifiable text*' / 'treats the entire sequence as one, from the opening tag, including its contents, through its closing tag'). Critically, the get_modifiable_text() method heading itself says only 'Returns the modifiable text for a matched token, or an empty string' with no example and no statement that for an atomic element you read it ON THE OPENER, not on a following token. The one worked example that does show the right pattern — the next_token() switch with `case 'TITLE': $title = $processor->get_modifiable_text();` in the 'Tokens and finer-grained processing' section — reads the title directly on the TITLE token but is easy to miss and is presented as a Tag Processor token-walk, not contrasted against the wrong 'descend into the element' instinct. Nothing explicitly warns 'do NOT advance past the opener to find the text.'\n\nFAILURE MODE B — hallucinated WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::create_fragment() (trial-3: all 7 cases, hard error). create_fragment is documented only on WP_HTML_Processor (verified by grep and method_exists). The Tag Processor doc shows construction solely as `new WP_HTML_Tag_Processor( $html )`, while every WP_HTML_Processor example uses a static creator (create_fragment / create_full_parser). A subject skimming both files can absorb 'these processors are created with a static factory' and graft create_fragment onto the wrong class. The Tag Processor's __construct entry and class Usage example do show the `new` form, but neither the class doc nor the method index states negatively that the Tag Processor has no create_fragment/create_full_parser equivalent, and the two creator methods live in a separate file under a different class with no cross-reference back to the Tag Processor's constructor.\n\nThe decisive documentation lever was processor selection and the atomic-TITLE access pattern. Trial-2 succeeded by reading get_modifiable_text() directly on the TITLE token within a next_token() walk — exactly the pattern the buried TITLE switch-case example demonstrates — and chose create_full_parser, matching the task's 'complete HTML document' framing. The other two failed by treating TITLE as an ordinary container with a separately-reachable text child.",

It never states that for special atomic elements (TITLE, TEXTAREA, SCRIPT, STYLE, etc.) the text is read ON THE OPENING TAG TOKEN itself, not from a following child #text token. Two of three subjects called next_token() to 'descend into' the TITLE and read text from the next token, which lands on a sibling/closer and returns ''.",
+      "suggestion": "Add to the get_modifiable_text() docblock an explicit statement plus a tiny example: for atomic elements the modifiable text belongs to the element's own (opening) token — e.g. after matching a TITLE/TEXTAREA/SCRIPT opener, call get_modifiable_text() directly; do not advance to a child text node, because these elements have no separate inner #text token.

There is no short decision rule tying 'complete document / need correct structure & implied tags' to the HTML Processor's create_full_parser.",

The core difficulty (exclude SVG image but include HTML img, including image reparsed to IMG and img that breaks out of svg) is handled by WP_HTML_Processor automatically via HTML5 tree construction.

All three subjects also added an explicit get_namespace equals html guard, which is redundant given the IMG tag-name query but harmless, and shows the namespace concept landed. The one genuine defect is in trial-1 and is masked by the corpus rather than caught by it: it calls html_entity_decode on get_attribute src. A probe confirms get_attribute already returns decoded values, so the redundant decode double-decodes any entity-bearing src. No hidden case includes an entity in a src value, so it passed despite being wrong. Root cause is documentation absence: the get_attribute docblock in both html-processor.md near line 1806 and html-tag-processor.md near line 1415 describes the return value and the null and true cases but never states the value is returned decoded with character references resolved, the as-a-browser-understands-it guarantee the task relied on. The only decoding language in either file is on modifiable text of TITLE and TEXTAREA and on set_attribute output encoding.

All three converged on the exact canonical reference solution (new WP_HTML_Tag_Processor, while(next_tag('img')) add_class('wp-image'), get_updated_html()). This is the expected outcome for a 'basic'/'smoke'/'high commonness' task whose documentation contains a nearly verbatim worked example.\n\nWhat the docs did well:\n- The 'Finding tags' table (html-tag-processor.md lines 49-53) shows the exact pattern needed, including the string shorthand next_tag('img') at line 51 — this is almost certainly why every subject reached for the shorthand and matched case-insensitively without hesitation. Pairing the array form and string form on adjacent rows made the equivalence obvious.\n- The 'Modifying CSS classes' section (lines 150-185) plus the Design/limitations note (line 294) explicitly promise that add_class preserves whitespace and existing class ordering. This grounded the 'existing-classes' case (photo large wp-image, in order) so subjects didn't reinvent class string manipulation.\n- The Usage example (lines 18-35) and the multi-tag while-loop with add_class (lines 70-75) modeled the get_updated_html return idiom, so subjects didn't reach for __toString or attempt manual reassembly.\n- The 'no images' and 'incomplete-tag-at-end' cases passed for free because the documented contract — next_tag returns false at end-of-input and an unmatched/incomplete trailing tag is simply never matched — means the loop terminates and get_updated_html returns the unchanged input. Lines 55 and 84-110 ('When matching fails') reinforce this.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations (not failures, but latent risks the docs could close):\n- Trial-3 asserts add_class 'avoids duplication.' The add_class docblock (lines 2152-2172) says nothing about idempotency/dedup, so this is the subject inferring behavior the docs never state. Untested here, but a plausible source of error on a task that adds an already-present class.\n- All three describe comment skipping as the processor 'automatically' ignoring comment content. The docs convey this only implicitly (next_tag finds tags; comments are a separate token type per the Tokens section at 214-283 and the comment-related properties). The behavior is correct, but the explanation leans on intuition rather than an explicit documented statement that next_tag never matches markup appearing inside comment text.",

A subject reading the method index entry in isolation (trial-3) assumed add_class 'avoids duplication' with no documented basis.",

The get_attribute() return-value semantics are the load-bearing fact for this task and are documented clearly in two places: the prose at html-tag-processor.md line 81-82 ('will return null if the attribute wasn't present... may return \"\" where the attribute was present but its value was empty... for boolean attributes... it will return true'), and the signature/example block at line 1415-1434 (`string|true|null` with concrete asserts: data-test-id === '14', enabled === true, aria-label === null). Every trial keyed off `null !==` and correctly passed both empty-href-counts and valueless-href-counts. This is the trap the task was built around (the spec's explicit 'href=\"\" counts' / '<a href> counts' clauses), and the docs prevented it cleanly. All three explanations articulate the three-way null/true/string distinction correctly.\n2. next_tag() is documented with both calling conventions — string shorthand (line 51, `next_tag( 'img' )`) and the array form (line 50, `array( 'tag_name' => 'img' )`) — so the surface variation between trials (trial-2 used the array form, trial-1/3 used the shorthand) was fully covered; no trial had to guess.\n3. set_attribute()'s overwrite-existing behavior is documented at line 148 ('If set_attribute() is called for an existing attribute it will overwrite the existing value... safe to call without knowing if a given attribute exists beforehand'), which covers the existing-target-overwritten case without any trial needing to read it first.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: none materially wrong. The only imprecision is in trial-1's and trial-2's phrasing — trial-1's response.json says href is 'present when get_attribute returns null' (a typo/inversion; the code is correct with `null !==`, and the inline candidate comment is right), and trial-2's explanation likewise says 'present when get_attribute returns null'. These are explanation-text slips, not code defects — the implementations check `null !== $href` correctly. Trial-3's explanation is the cleanest and inverts nothing. The uppercase-attribute and inside-comment cases passed implicitly: case-insensitive tag/attribute matching and the comment-skipping tokenizer are inherent to the processor and were never something a trial had to reason about, so the docs' silence on those specifics caused no failure here.",

A reader implementing an attribute-presence check must mentally combine two passages to conclude that `null !== get_attribute()` is the correct presence test covering href=\"\", href, and href=\"x\" alike. Here all three trials got it, but the inversion slips in two of the three explanations ('present when get_attribute returns null') show the contract is easy to mis-state.",

The documentation did the heavy lifting here. The combined next_token/get_current_depth section of html-processor.md (lines 604-640) and the get_current_depth example (lines 836-885) contain a complete, near-verbatim worked example of the exact task pattern: find a container tag, record get_current_depth(), then `while ( $processor->next_token() && $processor->get_current_depth() >= $depth )` accumulating get_modifiable_text() of '#text' tokens (lines 622-628, 883-885). All three subjects reproduced this idiom, which explains the uniform success and the convergent code. Three doc properties prevented the likely failure modes: (1) the depth-walk example handles nesting, so nested-markup and nested-in-div pass without subjects having to reason about descent; (2) get_modifiable_text being documented (in the Tag Processor override at html-tag-processor.md:1781-1790) as returning already-decoded text with the explicit `&amp;` → `&` example steered them away from double-decoding, so entities-decoded passed; (3) the unclosed-h1 case passes for free because the depth-bounded loop naturally terminates at end-of-input — no subject needed to reason about incomplete input, and the docs' note that HTML parsing implies closing (html-processor.md breadcrumbs/depth discussion) reinforces this. Near-misses in the explanations: all three asserted that get_modifiable_text 'automatically' decodes character references — correct, but the assertion is only directly supported by the Tag Processor doc (html-tag-processor.md:1781), NOT by the WP_HTML_Processor::get_modifiable_text section they were nominally targeting (html-processor.md:2050-2068), which omits decoding entirely. They were right, but partly by luck / by reading the example rather than the Processor method's own docblock. The one universal HOW-not-WHAT lapse: none of the three guarded the documented `static|null` return of create_fragment (html-processor.md:381) before calling next_tag(); the reference does. This is latent — <body>-context fragment parsing never yields null for any test input (verified by probe) — so it cost no test, but all three would fatal-error on a null processor where the reference degrades gracefully to null.\"",

+      "problem": "The depth-bounded walk example shows recording get_current_depth() at a tag opener and looping `while next_token() && get_current_depth() >= $depth`, but does not explain WHY this correctly bounds an element's subtree — specifically that a tag closer reports a depth one less than its opener (this fact is stated elsewhere, ~line 680, but not connected to the walking example). It also doesn't state that the loop terminates safely at end-of-input for unclosed elements. Subjects succeeded but had to trust the idiom without the docs connecting these guarantees.",
+      "suggestion": "In the depth-bounded walking example, add a brief note linking to the closer-depth rule (an element's closer reports depth one less than its opener, so `>= $opener_depth` includes the whole subtree and excludes the closer/siblings) and note that the loop also terminates correctly when input ends before the element closes. This makes the idiom's correctness self-evident rather than something to be taken on faith."

Edge handling poor (~4/15): missed that an empty element has no text node and that set_modifiable_text only works on tokens that carry modifiable text. 0/6 cases passed: reversed attribute order plus empty figcaption on every case."

Identical root cause to the empty-element trap trial-2 sidestepped with a placeholder. 0/6 passed: every output has an empty <figcaption></figcaption>."
+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "Two distinct misconceptions explain all 12 failing cases; both stem from the same documentation blind spot around injecting text into an empty element.\n\nFAILURE A — empty element has no #text token to walk to (trial-3 all 6 cases; trial-1 partially). Trials 1 and 3 built templates whose figcaption was empty: <figcaption></figcaption>. Trial-3 then walked next_token() looking for get_token_name()==='#text', but an empty element produces only the FIGCAPTION opener, FIGCAPTION closer, and FIGURE closer — there is NO #text token between the open and close tags (verified: the walk yields only #tag tokens). So set_modifiable_text was never called and every figcaption came out empty. The responsible passage is set_modifiable_text() (html-tag-processor.md lines 1807-1869) together with the 'Tokens and modifiable text' section (lines 241-282): they enumerate which tokens carry modifiable text and show walking for '#text', but NOWHERE state that an element with no text content simply has no #text token, nor that to insert text into an empty element you must first create/seed a text node. The passing trial-2 only succeeded because it intuited a placeholder space ' ' inside figcaption — an undocumented workaround.\n\nFAILURE B — set_modifiable_text on a #tag token is a silent no-op (trial-1's caption failure). Trial-1 called set_modifiable_text directly on the FIGCAPTION start tag (a #tag token) via a second processor positioned with next_tag('figcaption'). This returns false and changes nothing (verified). The set_modifiable_text() docblock says 'Sets the modifiable text for the matched token, if matched' and notes it returns false 'in the case that this fails,' but it never says plainly that a normal element start tag (#tag) carries no modifiable text and is therefore a no-op target — a reader can easily assume next_tag('figcaption') + set_modifiable_text sets the element's inner text. The list of tokens-with-modifiable-text (lines 243-282) covers atomic elements, comments, #text, etc., but the reader must infer by absence that an ordinary FIGCAPTION is not in that set.\n\nFAILURE C — new attributes sort by name, reversing intended order (trial-1's src/alt order on all 6 cases). Trial-1 started from a bare <img> and called set_attribute('src') then set_attribute('alt'), yielding <img alt=... src=...> (verified). This one IS documented well: set_attribute() (lines 2089-2111) explicitly states 'A NEW attribute is inserted immediately after the tag name' and 'several new attributes ... appear sorted by attribute name — not in the order the calls were made,' and gives the precise <img src=\\\"\\\" alt=\\\"\\\"> pre-seed workaround. Trial-1 simply did not apply the documented guidance. Trials 2 and 3 did pre-seed and got the order right, confirming the doc is sufficient — this is a subject error, not a doc gap.\n\nThe decisive differentiator across trials was text injection into an empty element, which the docs do not address. The single most impactful doc improvement is an explicit note + example on set_modifiable_text/get_modifiable_text that empty elements have no #text token and how to place text into one.",

+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::set_modifiable_text() (and the mirror WP_HTML_Processor::set_modifiable_text)",

This silently dropped the caption in trial-3 (all 6 cases) and contributed to trial-1's failures. The one passing trial only worked by intuiting an undocumented placeholder-space workaround.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short note: 'set_modifiable_text targets the modifiable text of the currently matched token. An empty element (e.g. <figcaption></figcaption>) has no #text node inside it, so there is nothing to match or set. To insert text into an otherwise-empty element, start from markup that already contains a text node — even a single placeholder character — and replace it in place.'

+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence drawing the contrast: 'Ordinary container elements (P, DIV, FIGCAPTION, …) do not themselves carry modifiable text — their inner text lives in separate #text tokens between the opening and closing tags.

Multibyte truncation via mb_substr/mb_strlen and the <=0 guard handle the documented edge cases (decoded text, multibyte boundaries, zero limit). Two deductions: (1) chose WP_HTML_Tag_Processor instead of the canonical WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment from reference.php. It passes every hidden case because SCRIPT content surfaces as a #tag token (not #text) and the flat scan yields identical text for these inputs, but it is a latent correctness gap on tree-dependent inputs — e.g. <table>foster<tr><td>cell</table> gives 'fostercell' under Tag_Processor vs '' under the HTML Processor (foster parenting), which the tests never probe.

Self-reported confidence 60 was the lowest of the three despite identical results."
+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed 9/9. The interesting signal is therefore a near-miss in processor selection that the test suite did not expose, plus what the docs did well.\n\nWhat the docs did well: The token-walking pattern was learnable verbatim. html-tag-processor.md lines 216-265 show exactly the loop the task needs (next_token + switch on get_token_name with a '#text' case calling get_modifiable_text). The get_modifiable_text() docblock (html-tag-processor.md lines 1769-1789) was decisive for two cases: it explicitly states the returned text is already decoded for #text nodes ('&amp;' is returned as '&', 'Do not decode the returned string again'), which directly produced the correct 'Fish &' result for entities-count-decoded, and it states SCRIPT/STYLE/TEXTAREA contents are modifiable text on the *element* token rather than a #text node — combined with get_token_type() returning '#tag' (not '#text') for SCRIPT, the '#text' filter naturally excludes script content (script-excluded case). The get_token_type() docblock (lines 1623-1637) clearly distinguishes static type strings from get_token_name()'s dynamic values, so trials 2/3 picking get_token_type and trial 1 picking get_token_name both worked since both return '#text'. None of these required source access.\n\nThe near-miss: All three subjects reached for WP_HTML_Tag_Processor, while reference.php uses WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment. The Tag_Processor is a valid, documented processor and its flat token scan happens to produce identical text for every hidden case — SCRIPT surfaces as a #tag token so the #text filter drops it, RAWTEXT/RCDATA (SCRIPT/STYLE/TEXTAREA) are skipped natively, and malformed P-nesting (<div><p>one<p>two</div>tail) still emits the same #text tokens because text concatenation does not depend on tree shape for that input. Verified by probe: both processors yield 'onetwotail' and 'beforeafter'. The latent gap, also verified by probe, is tree-dependent restructuring: <table>foster<tr><td>cell</table> yields 'fostercell' under Tag_Processor but '' under the HTML Processor (foster-parenting / unsupported table handling). The task spec frames the result as 'every text node in document order', which is precisely what the *parsed-tree* HTML Processor guarantees and what the flat Tag_Processor only approximates. Because the suite has no foster-parenting, plaintext-in-table, or implied-tag-restructuring case, the suboptimal choice went unpunished functionally; it shows up only in adherence.\n\nRoot cause in the docs: the two markdown files do not give the subject a crisp decision rule for choosing between WP_HTML_Tag_Processor and WP_HTML_Processor when the goal is 'extract all text nodes as the parser sees them'. The Tag_Processor doc presents next_token()/get_modifiable_text() as a complete text-extraction recipe (lines 216-265) without flagging that its token stream is a flat lexical scan that can diverge from a spec-compliant parse (no foster parenting, no implied tags). The HTML Processor doc lists structural guarantees (breadcrumbs/depth, lines 54, 844) but never contrasts them against Tag_Processor for the specific 'get me the text content' use case. A subject optimizing for the simplest documented API rationally lands on Tag_Processor and never learns the risk.\"",

A reader extracting 'all text nodes as the parser sees them' cannot tell that this stream diverges from a spec-compliant DOM for certain inputs.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short callout: 'next_token() yields tokens in source order without building a document tree. For tasks that need text content exactly as a browser would parse it (e.g. tables, foster-parented text, implied/auto-closed tags), prefer WP_HTML_Processor, whose token stream reflects the constructed tree.

Tag_Processor's tokens are a flat scan and can include or reorder text that the spec would foster-parent or drop.' A one-line example of the foster-parenting divergence would make the consequence concrete."

Subjects split (trial 1 used get_token_name, trials 2/3 used get_token_type) with no guidance on which is canonical; get_token_name can return dynamic values for other token kinds, making it subtly riskier as a type filter.",
+      "suggestion": "In get_token_type()'s docblock, add: 'Prefer get_token_type() for branching on token kind (it always returns one of a fixed set of static strings such as #text, #tag, #comment). Use get_token_name() only when you need the specific node name (e.g. the tag name).' This nudges readers toward the more robust filter."

Both doc examples (next_token, get_current_depth) show `>=` and explicitly explain that a child element's closer reports a depth equal to the contents' floor (not below it).

Inner text walk uses `if (get_current_depth() < $a_depth) break;`, the correct inverse of the documented `>=` guard, so the inner `</em>` closer (depth == a_depth, not < ) does NOT break and the trailing ' link' text is collected.

The explanation even claims the loop runs 'until it exits the A tag (depth returns to the opening tag level)', revealing the misconception: it treats the child closer's depth as the exit signal, when per the docs the A's OWN closer (depth N-1) is the exit and the child closer sits at depth N (== floor).

Failing case: `simple` — input `<p><a href=\"/b\"><em>second</em> link</a></p>`, expected text 'second link', actual 'second'.\n\nRoot mechanism (verified by probe): The A opener reports depth 4. The nested `<em>` opener is depth 5, 'second' text is depth 6, the `</em>` closer is depth 4 (the child closer returns to the parent's context = equal to the A opener depth), then the sibling text ' ' and 'link' are depth 5, and finally the A's own `</a>` closer is depth 3. The documented correct guard `get_current_depth() >= $depth_inside_a` keeps the loop alive through the `</em>` closer (4 >= 4) and reaches the depth-5 ' link' text. Trials 1 and 3 used strict `> $depth_inside_a`; the `</em>` closer at depth 4 fails `4 > 4`, so the loop breaks early and the trailing ' link' is never accumulated.\n\nMisconception: subjects believed the FIRST token whose depth is not strictly greater than the opener marks the end of the element's content. In reality (and as the docs state explicitly), child elements' closers report a depth EQUAL to the content floor, and only the element's OWN closer drops BELOW it (to N-1). Trial 3's explanation makes the misconception explicit: 'until it exits the A tag (depth returns to the opening tag level)' — it conflated the child `</em>` closer's depth with the exit signal.\n\nDocumentation responsibility: This is NOT a documentation gap in the strict sense — the correct behavior is documented redundantly and precisely. The `get_current_depth()` method heading states: 'For an element whose opener reported depth N, every token inside it reports a depth of at least N, the closers of its child elements included. The first token to report a depth less than N is the element's own closing token, at depth N - 1.' Both worked examples (the `next_token()` LI example at line 626 and the `get_current_depth()` UL example at line 885) use `>= $depth_inside_X`, and the LI example's trailing comment spells out exactly this trap: 'The closers of nested elements (</strong>) report a depth no lower than the LI's contents, so the loop continues through them.' The subjects had the exact pattern in front of them and deviated from it (substituting `>` for `>=`). The remaining doc weakness is that the two worked examples both put the only #text AFTER no further siblings (LI: 'Buy milk today.' where 'today.' is a direct child) — the failure-triggering shape (a #text sibling that follows a nested child closer) is described in prose but not isolated in a minimal contrasting example, so a reader skimming code rather than prose can miss why `>=` (not `>`) is load-bearing. All other cases passed across all trials because the relevant semantics (get_attribute returning true for valueless/null for absent; get_modifiable_text returning decoded references; HTML Processor emitting closers for unclosed elements) are documented clearly and the subjects applied them correctly.",

Triggered WP_HTML_Processor::serialize _doing_it_wrong on all 7 cases; serialize returned null, the null-guard fell back to the unmodified $html, so class additions were silently discarded. Failed 6/7 (only the no-op outside-untouched case 'passed' because no change was needed). All methods documented and real (serialize at line 953, serialize_token at 1001).

High adherence on processor choice and idiom, heavily penalized on graceful-handling/idiom because the chosen serialization path is incompatible with a mutate-then-emit workflow and the docs warned against it."
+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "Three distinct outcomes from the same task; two failure modes, both traceable to specific doc passages.\n\nTRIAL 1 FAILURES (cases 'simple', 'mixed-document'): Misconception = next_tag() visits tag closers by default, so a manual depth counter stays balanced. It does not. The default is tag_closers => 'skip'. The blockquote_depth counter only increments (on <blockquote> openers) and never decrements (closers skipped), so it is positive for the rest of the document and every later P is wrongly marked. Probe confirmed: for '<blockquote><p>Quoted.</p></blockquote><p>Not quoted.</p>', next_tag() yields BLOCKQUOTE, P, P — no closers. Responsible doc: html-tag-processor.md next_tag() $query table (line 910) documents tag_closers as '\\\"visit\\\" or \\\"skip\\\"' but NEVER states that 'skip' is the default. The two worked bookmark examples (lines 197, 1083) both explicitly pass tag_closers => 'visit', implicitly signaling that visiting is opt-in, but a subject must reverse-engineer the default from examples. The deeper issue is that the Tag Processor offers no structural/ancestor API at all (get_breadcrumbs is absent from html-tag-processor.md — verified), so the subject reinvented nesting tracking; the docs never steer a containment/ancestor task toward the HTML Processor.\n\nTRIAL 3 FAILURES (all cases except the no-op): Misconception = serialize() is a general 'dump the current document' method usable after walking/mutating, analogous to get_updated_html(). It is not. serialize() requires the processor to be in the initial ready state and consumes the document from scratch; calling it after next_tag() emits _doing_it_wrong and returns null. The subject even self-described it as preserving HTML 'byte-for-byte except for intentional class additions' — a fundamental misread, since serialize() NORMALIZES (it is the wrong primitive for a byte-preservation requirement entirely). Responsible doc: html-processor.md serialize() (line 961) does state 'must not have already started scanning,' so the constraint is documented but easy to overlook, and there is no positive pointer to the method that DOES emit post-mutation output. get_updated_html() — the method trial-2 used successfully — is entirely absent from html-processor.md, so a subject working only from these docs has no documented way to emit a mutated HTML Processor's output and may grab serialize() as the only visible serialization method. The serialize_token() section (line 1001) describes a token-walking emit pattern but is for drop/wrap rewriting, not class mutation, and does not clarify that simple attribute edits should use get_updated_html().\n\nTRIAL 2 (all pass): The breadcrumbs guidance worked as intended. The Usage section (lines 42-71) and get_breadcrumbs() example (lines 823-825) clearly model in_array-on-breadcrumbs ancestor checks, and the fragment-context note (lines 50-58) explains the implicit HTML/BODY prefix so the subject did not get tripped by it. The only near-miss: the subject reached for get_updated_html() to emit output, which happens to be correct and matches the canonical reference, but that method is undocumented in html-processor.md — success here depended on outside knowledge, not the provided corpus. Had the subject restricted itself strictly to documented html-processor.md methods, the only serialization option visible is serialize(), i.e. the trial-3 trap.",

Edge cases handled well: empty cells, first-table-only, omitted closers.

Same single root defect as trial-1: the loop exit `if ($current_depth <= $table_depth) break;` uses strict `<=` where the docs show `>=`. Because `</THEAD>` reports depth equal to the TABLE's captured depth (3), the loop terminates after the THEAD and skips the TBODY rows (thead-tbody failed, returned [[\"H\"]]).

Two distinct depth-guard bugs, both stemming from the same closer-depth misunderstanding the docs warn about. (1) Outer guard `get_current_depth() > $table_depth` is strict, so the loop ends at the depth-3 `</THEAD>` closer and never reaches TBODY rows (thead-tbody failed). (2) A nested inner cell-walk `while next_token() && get_current_depth() > $cell_depth` is a structure the docs never demonstrate (docs use a single accumulating loop); with TD at depth 6 the inner loop exits at the depth-6 `</strong>` closer, dropping the ` ` and `text` nodes that follow it, so markup-in-cells returns `bold` instead of `bold text` (failed).

The TABLE's own closer is the first token below 3, at depth 2. The reference walks with `get_current_depth() >= $table_depth` (table_depth captured at the TABLE opener = 3), so the depth-3 section closers satisfy the guard and the walk continues into TBODY; only the depth-2 `</TABLE>` stops it. All three candidates instead used a STRICT comparison that treats depth == table_depth as the end: trial-1 and trial-2 break on `depth <= table_depth`; trial-3's loop guard is `depth > table_depth`. Every one of them therefore terminates at the `</THEAD>` closer and never visits the TBODY rows, yielding only [[\\\"H\\\"]]. The responsible passage is WP_HTML_Processor::get_current_depth(). Its documented example walks `while ... get_current_depth() >= $depth_inside_ul` and its prose says \\\"every token inside it reports a depth of at least N ... The first token to report a depth less than N is the element's own closing token, at depth N - 1\\\" and \\\"the closers of its child elements included.\\\" The docs are technically correct and even show the `>=` form, but the warning is abstract: it never states that for a multi-section container (TABLE with THEAD/TBODY), MULTIPLE child-element closers report exactly the container's captured depth, so a `<=`/`==` exit test is wrong. The subjects read \\\"the first token at lower depth is the closer\\\" and over-generalized to \\\"depth == captured-depth means the container's closer,\\\" which is false whenever the container has element children whose closers sit at that same depth.\n\nMARKUP-IN-CELLS FAILURE (trial-3 only). Same root misconception, applied to a nested sub-walk. Trial-3 opens an inner loop on each TD/TH: it records cell_depth at the TD opener (depth 6) and collects text `while get_current_depth() > cell_depth`. I confirmed by probe that inside `<td><strong>bold</strong> text</td>` the `</strong>` closer reports depth 6 (STRONG popped, back to TD context), which fails the strict `> 6` test, so the inner loop exits immediately after `bold` and discards the following ` ` and `text` nodes. Result: `bold` instead of `bold text`. Again the fix is `>=`, and again get_current_depth()'s docs describe the behavior in prose but the subject didn't connect \\\"child closers report a depth no lower than the container's contents\\\" to its own strict-comparison guard. The reference sidesteps this entirely by using ONE flat loop that accumulates cell text across the whole table walk (toggling on TD/TH open/close) rather than a nested per-cell sub-walk; the docs only ever demonstrate the single-loop form, so trial-3's nested-walk invention was unsupported by the documentation and is exactly where it broke.\n\nWhat the docs did well: get_modifiable_text()'s documented character-reference decoding made entities-in-cells pass in all trials (Fish & Chips), and next_token()'s note that \\\"An element's text content may be split across several consecutive #text tokens: accumulate text while walking\\\" led all trials to concatenate correctly (markup-in-cells passed for trials 1 and 2). create_fragment()'s null return is documented and all trials guarded it (no-table passed). The breadcrumb-guard alternative in next_token()'s example directly seeded trial-2's robust `in_array('TD', get_breadcrumbs())` cell detection.\n\nNear-miss in explanations: all three explanations claim the HTML Processor \\\"handles tbody/thead naturally\\\" or \\\"implicitly\\\" — they trusted the parser to insert TBODY and produce closers (true) but never reasoned about what depth those inserted closers report, which is the exact thing that broke them. The confidence scores (58/72/75) did not reflect this blind spot.",
+  "doc_gaps": [
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::get_current_depth() — example and prose on walking an element's subtree",
+      "problem": "The documented subtree-walk idiom (capture depth at the container, continue `while get_current_depth() >= $depth`) is shown only for containers (UL, LI) whose direct children are leaf/text content. It does not warn that when a container has ELEMENT children, every child element's CLOSER reports a depth equal to the container's contents depth, and grandchild-section closers can report a depth equal to the container's own captured depth. Readers over-generalize 'the first token at lower depth is the closer' into 'depth == captured-depth means the container is closing' and write a strict `<=`/`>` exit test, which terminates the walk at the first intermediate closing tag. This single misreading caused the identical thead-tbody failure in all three trials and the markup-in-cells failure in one.",
+      "suggestion": "State explicitly that strict comparison is wrong for this pattern and explain why with a multi-level example: e.g. show that for `<table><thead><tr>...</thead><tbody>...` the `</thead>` and `</tbody>` closers report the SAME depth the `<table>` opener reported, and that only the `</table>` closer drops below it. Emphasize the rule in one sentence: 'Use `>=` against the depth captured at the container's opener; never `==` or strict `>`/`<`, because intermediate child and section closers report depths at or above that value.' Add a contrasting wrong-vs-right snippet so the consequence (loop exits early at the first inner closer) is concrete."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::next_token() — guidance on collecting an element's text content",
+      "problem": "The example collects text from a single flat element (LI) and shows the correct single-loop accumulate-while-walking pattern, but offers no guidance for containers with repeating structured children (rows, cells). A reader extrapolating to tables reached for a NESTED per-child sub-walk (open an inner next_token() loop per cell), which the docs never demonstrate and which re-triggers the closer-depth off-by-one inside the inner loop. The documentation implicitly favors a single flat loop but never says so.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short note recommending a single flat walk that toggles state on opener/closer tokens (e.g. 'set a flag on the cell opener, accumulate text while the flag is set, emit on the cell closer') rather than opening nested next_token() loops per child. One sentence — 'Prefer one walk over the whole subtree, tracking which element you are inside via openers/closers, rather than nested next_token() loops' — would steer readers away from the fragile nested-walk that failed trial-3."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::is_tag_closer() — interaction with get_current_depth/get_breadcrumbs",
+      "problem": "The method doc correctly states that on a closer the element has already been popped and depth/breadcrumbs reflect the PARENT context, but it frames this for a single element ('the closer of an element reports a depth one less than its opener'). It does not connect this to subtree-walk loop guards, so readers don't realize that this is precisely what makes intermediate closers collide with a container's captured depth and break a strict exit test.",
+      "suggestion": "Cross-reference get_current_depth()'s walk pattern from here: add a sentence noting that because closers report the parent depth, a subtree walk must use `>=` and not a strict equality/inequality, otherwise it will stop at the first child-element closer rather than at the container's own closer."

Edge cases handled implicitly but correctly: attributes/comments/split-text never match because get_modifiable_text on a #text token yields only that node's decoded text, and serialize_token normalizes (closes optional tags, double-quotes, re-encodes &). Returns '' on null from create_fragment — matches the reference's defensive branch. 8/8. Tiny deduction only because the implementation, like all three, relies on the (correct but under-documented) fact that #text get_modifiable_text returns decoded text; this was inferred from the task, not the docs."

But the reasoning is slightly muddled — create_fragment returning null means the input could not be parsed at all, and the '?? $html' fallback would emit un-normalized raw HTML, contradicting the 'normalized output' contract. Harmless here (no test exercises the null path) and arguably a more graceful-degradation attempt than returning raw $html, but the logic is not clean. Minor deduction on edge-case handling for that incoherent fallback."

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed 8/8 with zero _doing_it_wrong and zero trigger_error records. The documentation supported this task very well, primarily through the serialize_token() docblock in html-processor.md, which (a) states that walking every token and concatenating serialize_token() 'reconstructs the normalized serialization of the input — the same output that serialize() produces,' and (b) gives a near-isomorphic worked example (the 'Remove every SUP element' rewriting loop) showing exactly the next_token() + serialize_token() rewriting pattern, including the cue that a loop 'can emit extra markup around them to insert wrappers.' All three subjects mapped 'wrap in <mark>' onto 'emit extra markup around them' almost verbatim. The processor choice (HTML Processor over Tag Processor) was well-cued: the Tag Processor doc explicitly disclaims that it 'only supports the tag token' for next_token and cannot reconstruct/normalize structure, while normalization (closing the unclosed <p>, the <b>/<div> reconstruction, &AMP;->&amp; re-encoding) is only described under WP_HTML_Processor. The edge cases that the task hinges on fell out for free: get_modifiable_text() returns only the current #text node's content, so the keyword-in-attribute, keyword-in-comment, and split-across-elements cases never match a #text token; and the entity-encoded case ('w&#111;rld') matched because #text modifiable text is decoded. Near-misses in the explanations: every subject asserts get_modifiable_text() returns 'decoded' text for #text nodes, but the html-processor.md get_modifiable_text() docblock never states this — it describes WHAT modifiable text is (the contents of #text nodes, comments, etc.) but says nothing about character-reference decoding. The decoding fact is only stated for the *special atomic* elements (TITLE/TEXTAREA) in the Tag Processor doc, not for generic #text. The subjects inferred decoding from the task description rather than the docs; had the task not spelled it out, this gap could have produced a wrong mental model. Trial-2's null-branch fallback (normalize($html) ?? $html) is the only logically shaky construct, but it is dead code under the tests and uses a documented method correctly.\"",

Decoding is documented only for the special atomic elements (TITLE/TEXTAREA in the Tag Processor's 'Special atomic elements' section), implying by omission that #text is raw, which is the opposite of the truth. All three subjects had to infer decoding from the task wording.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to get_modifiable_text() stating that for #text nodes the returned string is the decoded text (character references like &amp; and &#111; are resolved to & and o), and contrast with set_modifiable_text() which takes a plain/unescaped string. A two-line example (e.g. input '<p>a&amp;b' yields get_modifiable_text() === 'a&b') would prevent the most likely silent bug: substring-matching against still-encoded text."
+    },
+    {

+      "suggestion": "Add a short second example showing $output .= '<mark>' . $processor->serialize_token() . '</mark>'; on a matched #text token, and note that for a multi-token element the opener and closer are separate serialize_token() results, so wrapping an entire element requires emitting markup at the opener and again at the matching closer (tie this to the existing breadcrumbs/get_current_depth guidance)."

Trial-2 reacted by calling normalize($html) ?? $html (which would emit un-normalized HTML), while trials 1 and 3 returned '' or the raw input — three different guesses for the same condition.",
+      "suggestion": "State explicitly when create_fragment returns null (currently only on a non-default context or non-UTF-8 encoding) versus when parsing-failure surfaces later as get_last_error()/serialize() returning null. Clarify that a successfully-created fragment can still fail to serialize, so robust code should also check the serialize()/normalize() return for null rather than assuming a non-null processor guarantees output."

Main deduction: bookmark naming is the explicitly-documented anti-pattern. set_bookmark() docs (line 1107) state bookmarks 'should not be created with programmatically-made names, such as li_{$index} with some loop ... should only be created with string-literal names'. This trial generates a fresh name per H2 via uniqid() ('last_h2_' . uniqid()) and releases the prior one each iteration, instead of overwriting a single literal bookmark in place as the reference does. Functionally safe (only one bookmark live at a time) but non-idiomatic and adds release churn. Edge cases handled well: no-H2 returns $html directly (correct), comment-H2 ignored by the parser, existing class preserved by add_class. The early `return $html` branch is slightly less uniform than letting get_updated_html return unchanged but is harmless."

Marginally more idiomatic than trial-1 in the no-H2 path: returns get_updated_html() unconditionally rather than echoing $html. Same single deduction — dynamic uniqid() bookmark names violate the set_bookmark() string-literal-name guidance (line 1107); the idiomatic move is to reuse one literal name and let set_bookmark overwrite in place (confirmed by probe).

So there is no functional misconception to trace. The analysis is instead about the one shared non-idiomatic choice and what the docs did/didn't do to prevent it.\n\nWhat the docs did well: (1) The set_bookmark/seek/release_bookmark section (lines 1048-1144) is strong — the worked LI example (lines 1076-1103) demonstrates exactly the set-bookmark-during-walk / seek-back pattern these trials needed, which is why all three independently arrived at the correct overall algorithm. (2) add_class is well documented as whitespace- and order-preserving (lines 162-185, 294, 2152), giving subjects confidence on the existing-class and byte-preservation cases. (3) The comment-h2-not-counted case passed for free because next_tag only stops on real tags; subjects (trial-1, trial-3) explicitly reasoned that comment contents are not parsed as tags. (4) Tag-name case-insensitivity held up across 'h2', 'H2' — none of the trials got burned by case.\n\nThe single shared near-miss across all three explanations and implementations: dynamic bookmark naming. Every trial generated unique bookmark names with uniqid() in a loop ('last_h2_' . uniqid()), then released the previous one each iteration. This is precisely the anti-pattern called out in the set_bookmark() docblock (line 1107): 'They should not be created with programmatically-made names, such as li_{$index} with some loop. As a general rule they should only be created with string-literal names like start-of-section or last-paragraph.' The reference instead reuses one literal name ('last-h2') and relies on set_bookmark to overwrite it in place on each iteration (probe confirms this overwrites correctly and yields the right result).\n\nRoot cause in the docs: while the docs warn AGAINST programmatic names, they never positively state that calling set_bookmark with an already-used name UPDATES/overwrites the existing bookmark to the current position. Subjects reaching for 'track the last match in a loop' had no documented assurance that re-setting the same name would move it, so they defensively minted unique names plus manual releases to be safe. The warning told them what not to do but not the supported idiom that replaces it. The LI example sidesteps this by only ever setting one bookmark name ('last-li') once per LI — it happens to reuse the literal name across iterations but the doc never calls out that the reuse is what makes overwrite-in-place work. No functional penalty resulted here because the trials' release-then-recreate sequence keeps exactly one live bookmark, but on a large many-H2 document this is measurable extra allocation/processing churn that the warning exists specifically to prevent.\"",

The HTML Support / \"abort early\" section plus the explicit statement at line 82 that \"methods which produce output (such as serialize() and normalize()) return null\" gave subjects the exact contract needed for misnesting-unsupported-false and the general return-false-on-unparseable requirement; the mis-nested formatting example `<b>one<i>two</b>three</i>` in the Supported-elements section is the very input in that test case, so subjects could reason it would return null. The structure-differs and text-differs cases follow trivially from \"differences in element structure or text content do change the structure\" combined with byte-for-byte comparison of distinct serializations.\n\nNear-misses, all confined to the explanations (not the code): every subject claimed normalize() \"standardizes/handles\" attribute quoting, casing, and character references, and trials 2 and 3 said it \"adds implicit closing tags\" — all true — but none reasoned about why attribute-order-differs correctly returns false. They passed that case because normalize() PRESERVES attribute order (verified: `<a href=\"x\" id=\"y\">` and `<a id=\"y\" href=\"x\">` serialize to distinct strings), so the two fragments produce different output. None of the subjects stated this; the normalize() docblock's change-list never mentions attribute ordering, so they had no documented basis to predict the order-differs outcome and got it right only because order is preserved rather than canonicalized. Had a future implementation or a subject reasoned that normalization \"canonicalizes attributes\" (a plausible misreading of \"duplicate attributes will be removed\"), they might have wrongly expected order-differs to be true.

Minor deductions: (1) splits the SPAN skip into two redundant branches (opener via !is_tag_closer, closer via is_tag_closer) that collapse to a single 'SPAN'===get_tag() check as the reference and trials 2/3 do — extra ceremony, not wrong; relies correctly (perhaps unknowingly) on get_tag() returning the same uppercase name for both opener and closer.

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed 7/7 with zero _doing_it_wrong and zero trigger_error records. The documentation was decisive here. The single most load-bearing passage was the serialize_token() docblock in html-processor.md, which contains an almost isomorphic worked example (\"Remove every SUP element but keep its contents\" — a next_token loop that `continue`s on a matched tag, else concatenates serialize_token()), plus the explicit instruction \"Closing tokens of skipped elements must be skipped too.\" That sentence is exactly what made the unwrap correct: subjects skipped both the SPAN opener and closer, so the inner text/elements (e.g. the EM in 'simple', the IMG in 'span-with-block-content') survived in place. Several other docs reinforced correctness for the trickier cases: (1) normalize()/serialize() docblocks enumerate normalization rules (double-quote attributes, add omitted tags, re-encode text) which directly produced the 'no-spans-normalized-passthrough' expectation (`<div><p>plain &AMP; simple` -> `<div><p>plain &amp; simple</p></div>`) and 'unclosed-span' completion — subjects didn't have to reason about these because serialize_token applied them automatically. (2) get_tag() documents returning null for non-tag tokens, so the `'SPAN' === get_tag()` comparison silently and safely skips #text nodes, which all three relied on. (3) The HTML Processor (not Tag Processor) was the correct choice because it visits a closer for every opener including implicit/unclosed ones (next_token docblock: \"visits a closing token for every element it opens ... even in malformed input\"), which is what made the 'unclosed-span' case work — the never-written `</span>` still produced a closer token that was skipped. Near-misses in the explanations: trials 2 and 3 explicitly articulated that get_tag() returns the same name for opener and closer (correct and well-grounded), while trial 1 arrived at the same behavior via two redundant is_tag_closer branches without stating the underlying reason, suggesting slightly weaker comprehension even though output was identical. The only undocumented-behavior soft spot all three brushed against is the null-processor return value: the create_fragment docblock says it returns null on failure but never says what a caller should substitute, so trials 1 and 3 guessed $html while trial 2 and the reference used '' — harmless here but a genuine ambiguity.",

The bundled example ('Remove every SUP element') works only because get_tag() happens to return the same name on opener and closer; the example never makes that mechanism explicit, so a reader could wrongly believe one check matches only the opener and leave dangling closers.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to the example comment stating *why* a single `get_tag()` check removes the whole element: 'get_tag() returns the same uppercase name on both the opening and closing token of an element, so this one condition skips both.'

+      "suggestion": "State explicitly the (currently narrow) failure conditions — 'returns null only when the requested context or encoding is unsupported; well-formedness of the HTML never causes null here' — so callers understand the branch is effectively unreachable for default body/UTF-8 use, and can choose an appropriate fallback deliberately rather than guessing."

Subject: [PATCH 020/193] HTML API docs round 5, hypothesis 1: building markup
 from a template.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

T04 trials each absorbed exactly one of the two template-building facts
(pre-seeded attribute order in set_attribute(), placeholder text in
set_modifiable_text()) and failed on the other — the facts live in two
distant method docblocks. Add a 'Building markup from a template'
section to the class overview, where template builders first look,
stating both rules together with one execution-verified example using
a link template (deliberately unlike any corpus task).

+ * shape: write the shape as a literal template, then replace its
+ * attribute values and text through the API, which handles all of the
+ * necessary encoding. Two rules make the output exact:
+ *
+ *  - Include the attributes in the template (with empty values) so that
+ *    updates preserve their written order. Attributes ADDED to a tag are
+ *    placed after the tag name sorted by name, not in call order — see
+ *    {@see WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::set_attribute}.
+ *  - Include placeholder text inside elements that need text content; an
+ *    empty element contains no text node for
+ *    {@see WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::set_modifiable_text} to replace.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *
+ *     $processor = new WP_HTML_Tag_Processor( '<a href="" title="">.</a>' );
+ *     $processor->next_tag();
+ *     $processor->set_attribute( 'href', $url );
+ *     $processor->set_attribute( 'title', $title );
+ *     while ( $processor->next_token() ) {
+ *         if ( '#text' === $processor->get_token_type() ) {
+ *             $processor->set_modifiable_text( $link_text );
+ *             break;
+ *         }
+ *     }
+ *     $html = $processor->get_updated_html();
+ *     // <a href="…" title="…">…</a> with every value safely encoded,
+ *     // attributes in template order, and the placeholder replaced.
+ *
  * ### Modifying CSS classes for a found tag
  *
  * The tag processor treats the `class` attribute as a special case.

Subject: [PATCH 021/193] HTML API docs round 5, hypotheses 2-3: next_tag()
 matching contract; decoded reads; add_class idempotency.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Judges across four tasks flagged the same unstated guarantees subjects
kept inferring (correctly, but unguided):
- next_tag(): tag-name matching is ASCII case-insensitive with source
  casing preserved; comments/CDATA/rawtext can never match; truncated
  trailing tags are never matched or modified (cross-ref
  paused_at_incomplete_token()). Stated as a 'What this matches' block.
- get_attribute(): string values come back DECODED (don't decode
  again), inverse of set_attribute's encode-on-write.
- add_class(): creates/appends without disturbing existing classes;
  re-adding an existing class is a no-op with an exact byte-for-byte
  duplicate check (add 'NOTE' to class="note" appends — verified;
  an initial case-insensitive claim was caught wrong by probe before
  commit).

Subject: [PATCH 022/193] HTML API docs round 5, hypothesis 4: why the subtree
 walk uses >=.

T08 judges noted the only depth-bounded walk example nests one level,
where >= and > behave identically, so readers can't learn which is
right. State the rule: >= is correct at any depth; > ends the walk at
the first direct-child closer (verified: with > the UL walk stops
after the first LI's contents).

 Hypothesis → outcome narrative, one entry per round. Newest first.
 
+## Round 4 — Haiku, serialization boundary + modifiable-text fixes
+
+**Train 94.18 (+3.5 vs round-3 train).** T07 +35.0 → 100 (the
+serialize()-vs-get_updated_html() boundary cured the induced
+regression — refine-not-revert vindicated). T08 +8.1, T06 +6.3,
+T10 +2.5. T04 +4.3 but still 49.4: each failing trial absorbed exactly
+ONE of the two template-building facts (placeholder text OR attribute
+order) — they live in distant method docblocks.
+
+Round-5 hypotheses (committed):
+1. 'Building markup from a template' overview section uniting
+   pre-seeded attribute order + placeholder text, verified link-card
+   example unlike any corpus task (T04).
+2. next_tag() 'What this matches' contract: ASCII case-insensitive
+   names, comments/rawtext never match, truncated tails never matched
+   (T01/T03/T10 backlog).
+3. get_attribute() returns decoded values; add_class() idempotency
+   with exact byte-for-byte duplicate check (probe caught and fixed a
+   wrong case-insensitivity claim before commit).
+4. Why the subtree walk uses >= — deep-nesting rule, '>' failure mode
+   verified (T08).
+
 ## Round 3 — Haiku, first edits under test on revised corpus (checkpoint)
 
 **All-19 87.41 / core 85.92 / train 90.66 (−1.9) / held-out 75.22.**

This is a documentation success case, so the analysis is of what worked and the near-misses.\n\nWhat the docs did well: The single most important fact for this task — that the Tag Processor pauses (rather than emits) when input ends mid-token, and that paused_at_incomplete_token() reports it — is stated in three mutually reinforcing places: the class method index entry (L328), the 'When matching fails' narrative (L84-111, which explicitly covers both the mid-tag case and the special-element case where an unclosed <style>/<script> counts as incomplete and pauses), and the paused_at_incomplete_token() method block (L973-996) with a runnable example showing next_tag()===false followed by paused_at_incomplete_token()===true. The 'Tokens and finer-grained processing' section (L214-239) supplies the drain-with-next_token() loop idiom. A subject only had to compose these two documented pieces, and all three did.\n\nThe unterminated-script case (expected true) is directly anticipated by L101-108, which state that an unclosed special element counts as an incomplete tag and pauses the parser — this is why no subject mis-handled <script>var x = 1; even though it has no <... opener cut. Subjects who delegated to paused_at_incomplete_token() got this for free.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations (no functional impact because all subjects delegated rather than reasoned manually): Two edge cases in the test set — trailing-lt-is-text ('ends with <' => false) and unclosed-element-is-complete ('<div>unclosed element' => false) — depend on facts the docs never state explicitly: (a) a lone '<' at end of input is a complete #text token, not an incomplete tag opener; and (b) a structurally-unclosed-but-lexically-complete element does NOT pause the processor (paused_at_incomplete_token concerns lexical token completeness, not DOM well-formedness). None of the three explanations articulated either distinction; they passed because paused_at_incomplete_token() encodes both correctly. A subject who tried to reason about 'incomplete' manually, or who reached for the structure-aware HTML Processor to check for unclosed elements, could have produced the wrong answer on these two cases. The docs leave that reasoning entirely to the method's behavior.",

The distinction between lexical token completeness (what this method reports) and DOM/structural completeness (which it does not) is load-bearing for any truncation check, yet a reader cannot infer it from the current text.",

For pathological input '<img src=\"a&amp;amp;b\">' the correct src is 'a&amp;b' but this code over-decodes to 'a&b' -- a genuine latent bug.

The task says to skip images 'whose src has no value', and the reference explicitly excludes '' (is_string && '' !== src).

The docs succeeded at the task's core challenge -- distinguishing HTML img elements from SVG <image> by browser-parsing rules rather than source spelling. WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment parses in BODY context and applies the HTML tree-construction algorithm, so: <image> in HTML becomes get_tag()==='IMG' (html namespace); <img> inside <svg> breaks out to the html namespace as IMG; and SVG's own <image> reports get_tag()==='IMAGE' in the svg namespace. The get_tag() docblock's note that 'certain tags be reprocessed with a different tag name' plus the get_namespace() return values ('html'/'math'/'svg') gave subjects enough to choose the right processor and pass every case. All three correctly picked WP_HTML_Processor over WP_HTML_Tag_Processor, which is the load-bearing decision (the Tag Processor doesn't apply tree-construction or namespace rules).\\n\\nThe interesting findings are near-misses masked by gaps in the test matrix, each traceable to a doc gap:\\n\\n1) Trial 2's double-decode (latent, undetected). The get_attribute() docblock (html-tag-processor.md ~line 1417, and the inherited override in html-processor.md ~line 1811) documents the return type (string|true|null) but says NOTHING about whether the returned string is character-reference-decoded. The decoding contract is stated only for modifiable text (get_modifiable_text, html-tag-processor.md line 1783: 'already decoded... Do not decode the returned string again'), not for attributes. With no statement on the get_attribute() page, the subject reasonably assumed values were raw and added html_entity_decode(), producing over-decoding on entity-bearing src values. The docs' silence on attribute decoding directly caused this.\\n\\n2) Trial 3's empty-string miss (latent, undetected). get_attribute() documents that absent attributes return null and boolean attributes return true, but the only mention of the empty-string case ('It may return \\\"\\\" ... where the attribute was present but its value was empty', html-tag-processor.md line 81) is in prose far from the method heading, and the method's own example/Returns line omits it. A subject reading just the get_attribute() section would not see that src=\\\"\\\" yields '' and could fail to skip it. Trial 3 did exactly this.\\n\\n3) Redundant namespace checks across all three trials. Every subject added a get_namespace() guard to exclude SVG <image>, believing it necessary. It is not -- next_tag('IMG') already skips the SVG element because that element is named IMAGE, not IMG. No doc passage explains how foreign-content reprocessing affects tag names (e.g. that SVG <image> stays IMAGE while HTML <image> becomes IMG, or that <img> escapes <svg>). The get_tag() reprocessing note is abstract with no namespace example, so subjects over-defended.

This led every subject to add a redundant namespace guard, believing next_tag('IMG') alone would also match SVG <image>.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short foreign-content example near get_tag()/get_namespace() showing that get_tag() reflects the parsed (tree-construction) name and namespace: e.g. HTML '<image>' -> get_tag()==='IMG' (html); '<svg><image>' -> get_tag()==='IMAGE' (svg); '<svg><img>' -> get_tag()==='IMG' (html, broke out of svg). State that querying next_tag('IMG') therefore already distinguishes HTML img from SVG image by name, so an explicit namespace check is only needed when matching elements that share a name across namespaces."

This is the 'smoke' task and the docs supported it cleanly.\n\nWhat the docs did well: (1) The next_tag() query table in the Tag Processor doc (lines 49-53) shows the exact array('tag_name'=>'img') form, plus the bare-string alternative, so subjects picked the matching idiom immediately. (2) add_class()'s relationship to existing classes is well covered — lines 162-185 and the byte-difference-minimization note at line 294 explain that add_class preserves whitespace and class ordering, which is why the existing-classes case passed without anyone reaching for set_attribute('class', ...). (3) get_updated_html() is clearly positioned as the way to read output after edits (line 2232; cross-referenced repeatedly from the Processor doc's serialize_token/serialize sections at lines 1031-1032), so no subject mis-reached for serialize(). (4) The implicit edge cases the task hinged on — comments not being parsed as tags, case-insensitive tag matching, double-quoting of attribute output (line 294), and graceful handling of the truncated trailing tag — are all behaviors the library provides automatically and that no subject had to special-case.\n\nNear-miss in the explanations: trial-3 asserts add_class appends 'without duplication.' That happens to be true (verified by probe: re-adding an existing class is a no-op), but it is NOT stated anywhere in either rendered doc. A subject reasoning in the opposite direction (assuming add_class blindly appends and could double a class) would have been equally unguided.

This is a basic smoke task and the docs supported it cleanly.\n\nWhat the docs did well (and which doc passages carried each tricky case):\n- The empty-href and valueless-href cases hinge on get_attribute()'s three-valued return. The Tag Processor's 'Custom queries' note (lines 81-82) and the get_attribute() docblock + return line ('string|true|null ... Boolean attributes return true', line 1450) plus the worked example at lines 1428-1436 (`get_attribute('enabled') === true`, `get_attribute('aria-label') === null`) spell out that null means absent while '' and true both mean present. All three subjects landed on the correct `null !== $href` guard rather than a truthiness check (which would have wrongly skipped empty-href, since '' is falsy). This is the one place the task is designed to trip people, and the docs prevented the trip.\n- The uppercase-attribute case (`<a HREF>`) and lowercase-tag matching ('a' vs 'A') both rely on case-insensitive matching. The Since note 'attribute updates are case-insensitive' (line 315) and the get_attribute_names_with_prefix discussion of ASCII case-insensitive attribute names cover attributes; tag-name case-insensitivity is implied by the all-uppercase get_tag() convention but is not stated outright for next_tag's tag_name. Subjects guessed correctly and the probe confirms it works, but see doc_gaps.\n- inside-comment-ignored and nested-markup-in-link are handled for free by the Tag Processor only parsing real tag openers (lines 5-7, 'only parses the HTML tag openers') and not recursing; subjects didn't need special handling and didn't add any.\n\nNear-miss in explanations: trials 2 and 3 paraphrased get_attribute()'s contract loosely ('returns as null, true, or string' / wording that blurs which value means 'absent'). The code's `null !== $href` guard is correct regardless, so no functional impact, but it signals that the three-valued return is easy to restate incorrectly even when read correctly.

Subjects passing 'a'/'A' had to guess that it matches `<A>`/`<a>`/`<HREF>`-bearing tags regardless of case; it happens to work, but the contract is undocumented. A subject could reasonably have written get_tag()==='A' comparisons or worried about normalizing case.",
+      "suggestion": "State explicitly in the next_tag() $query docblock and the 'Finding tags' section that tag_name (and class_name in no-quirks vs quirks mode) matching is ASCII case-insensitive, mirroring the existing note that attribute updates/names are case-insensitive.

Two of three subjects restated it inaccurately in their explanations ('returns null, true, or string' without binding which value means 'absent'), showing the distinction is easy to garble. The critical fact for any 'does attribute X exist?' check — that you must compare against null and NOT rely on truthiness, because '' is a valid present value — is implied but never stated as guidance.",
+      "suggestion": "Add an explicit usage note to the get_attribute() docblock: 'To test only for presence of an attribute, compare against null (`null !== $p->get_attribute($name)`); do not use a truthy test, because a present attribute may return the empty string \"\" (value present but empty) or true (valueless/boolean attribute), both of which are falsy.'

Handles all described edge cases: null create_fragment guard, image-only -> '' (no #text collected), entity decoding via get_modifiable_text, unclosed input (relies on the documented guarantee that the HTML Processor emits a closer for every opener). Minor stylistic deviation from the reference: it collects text only at depth > h1_depth (strictly inside) rather than >= h1_depth; functionally equivalent because an H1 opener never carries modifiable text, but it shows slightly less trust in the documented depth model.

Uses the array query form `next_tag(array('tag_name'=>'H1'))`, which the Tag Processor next_tag table documents. Highest self-reported confidence (92) and it is justified.

Every method called is documented (next_tag, next_token, get_token_type, is_tag_closer, get_tag, get_modifiable_text) and there are no _doing_it_wrong records, so no hallucination. It passed all 8 hidden cases by luck: the tests never exercise implicit element closing. Probes confirm latent incorrectness the approach cannot avoid: get_first_h1_text('<h1>First<h2>Second') yields 'FirstSecond' instead of 'First' (H2 implicitly closes H1), and '<h1>a<table>b<td>c</h1>' yields 'abc' instead of 'a' (table foster-parenting). The Tag Processor sees no virtual closer for an implicitly- or never-closed H1, so 'break on H1 closer' is unsound. Also omits the create_fragment null guard concern is N/A here (no fragment), but it never validates structure at all. Idiomatic-pattern credit is low: it hand-rolls closer detection instead of using the documented depth/breadcrumb guard available only on the HTML Processor."

Trial 3's WP_HTML_Tag_Processor approach is functionally wrong for any input where the first H1 is closed implicitly rather than by an explicit </h1>, but the frozen test set (tests.json) contains no such case. The closest case, unclosed-h1 ('<h1>Runs to <em>the end'), happens to work because there is no following sibling content to mis-attribute, and the Tag Processor's next_token simply runs off the end of the document collecting the trailing text. Probes confirm the divergence the tests miss: '<h1>First<h2>Second' -> Tag Processor 'FirstSecond' vs correct 'First'; '<h1>a<table>b<td>c</h1>' -> Tag Processor 'abc' vs HTML Processor 'a'. The misconception: the subject treated 'find the matching </h1> tag' as equivalent to 'find the end of the H1 element', which is only true in well-formed, explicitly-closed HTML. This is precisely the structural reasoning the Tag Processor disclaims and the HTML Processor provides. The responsible documentation passage is the WP_HTML_Tag_Processor overview (line 7: 'Does not fully parse HTML or recurse into the HTML structure'): it states the limitation but never converts it into actionable guidance ('to find where an element ends, use WP_HTML_Processor and its depth/breadcrumb model, because elements can be closed implicitly and may lack an explicit closing tag'). Trials 1 and 2 succeeded soundly precisely because the WP_HTML_Processor next_token() docblock ships a near-identical worked example (collecting an LI's text with a `get_current_depth() >= depth` guard, with an explicit note that nested-element closers report a depth no lower than the contents and that unclosed elements still produce closing tokens). That single example carried both correct trials. The near-miss in the explanations: trial 2's explanation is accurate and confident; trial 1's is accurate; trial 3's explanation confidently asserts get_modifiable_text 'as documented' and that the loop terminates 'when no H1 is found' but never acknowledges that its termination condition assumes an explicit closer exists, which is the root flaw.",

This unstated difference directly caused trial 3's latent bug.",

Subject built the img from a template with no attributes ('<img>') and called set_attribute('src'), set_attribute('alt'). When set_attribute CREATES new attributes, they are inserted after the tag name and sorted by NAME, so output is `alt=\\\"…\\\" src=\\\"…\\\"` — reversed from required src,alt. Expected has src first. This is documented verbatim in WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::set_attribute() under 'Attribute placement' (lines 2105-2127), including the exact <img> vs <img src=\\\"\\\" alt=\\\"\\\"> side-by-side example and the rule 'When several new attributes are added… they appear sorted by attribute name — not in the order the calls were made.' The caption logic in trial-1 was actually correct (placeholder + #text walk). Root miss: the subject worked from the 'Modifying HTML attributes for a found tag' OVERVIEW (line 135), which only says set_attribute 'overwrites'/'creates' and never mentions placement; the placement rule lives ~1900 lines later in the method reference and was not consulted.\\n\\nTRIAL-3 (all 6 fail, cause: empty FIGCAPTION). Subject got the img order right (pre-existing attrs) but seeded the caption as an EMPTY '<figcaption></figcaption>' and called set_modifiable_text() directly on the FIGCAPTION tag. Verified: that returns false and changes nothing, leaving '<figcaption></figcaption>'. Expected has the caption text. This is documented precisely in WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::set_modifiable_text() (lines 1821-1833): 'An ordinary container element (P, DIV, FIGCAPTION, SPAN, …) carries no text of its own — its text lives in #text child tokens — so calling this method while matched on such a tag returns false and changes nothing. Always check the return value.' followed by 'an EMPTY element like <figcaption></figcaption> contains no #text token at all… include placeholder text in the template and replace it' with the exact walk example. The subject violated both the 'walk to a #text node' rule and the 'check the return value' rule. Trial-2, which seeded '<figcaption>.</figcaption>' and walked to the #text token, is the positive control proving the documented idiom works.\\n\\nTRIAL-2: passes everything by following both documented idioms. No near-misses in its explanation; it correctly attributes encoding to the API and never over-decodes.\\n\\nNet: the documentation contains everything needed. The failures stem from subjects reading the high-level overview sections (where neither the attribute-placement rule nor the empty-element rule appears) and not the deep method-reference subsections where both are spelled out. The unicode and html-in-caption cases never independently failed — encoding via set_attribute/set_modifiable_text worked in every trial; those cases only failed as collateral of the order/empty-element bugs.",

Idiomatic token walk filtering on '#text' === get_token_type(), reads decoded text via get_modifiable_text() per the documented 'Tokens and finer-grained processing' example. Correctly handles decoded entities (relied on the documented 'Fish &amp;' -> 'Fish &' behavior and did not re-decode), multibyte (mb_substr/mb_strlen UTF-8), zero/negative limit, and script exclusion. Script exclusion works because the Tag Processor reports SCRIPT as a #tag token whose JS is its modifiable text (documented 'Special atomic HTML elements'), so the #text filter drops it -- the subject leaned on this correctly. Minor: redundant double break (line 37 break then lines 41-43 unreachable guard), and per-token running-count truncation is more elaborate than the reference's accumulate-then-mb_substr, but correct. Docked on processor choice: Tag Processor is a purely lexical scanner; the reference and the task's 'every text node in document order' framing point to the structure-aware HTML Processor, which the docs explicitly contrast as more robust on malformed input.

Uses WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment (documented), checks for null return before walking (documented as static|null), then the canonical next_token / '#text' === get_token_type() / get_modifiable_text() accumulation loop shown verbatim in the html-processor.md next_token() example. Correct processor choice for 'concatenate every text node in document order': structure-aware, handles malformed nesting and implicit closers per the docs, and the accumulate-then-truncate is idiomatic. Edge cases all handled (decoded entities without re-decoding, multibyte via mb_substr, zero/negative guard, script excluded because SCRIPT content is modifiable text of a non-#text token). Tiny redundancy: the post-branch 'codepoint_count >= max' check after the truncate branch already breaks, but harmless. Near-perfect; only points off for that trivial dead check."
+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed 9/9 with no _doing_it_wrong or trigger_error records. The analysis is therefore of what the docs did well and the one real near-miss in processor choice.\n\nWhat the docs enabled, case by case:\n- entities-count-decoded ('Fish &amp; Chips' -> count on decoded 'Fish & Chips'): both get_modifiable_text() docblocks state the returned text is already decoded ('&amp; is returned as &') and explicitly warn 'Do not decode the returned string again.' The Tag Processor version even ships the exact 'Fish &amp; Chips' -> 'Fish & Chips' example. All three subjects relied on this and none double-decoded. This passage is doing real work.\n- script-excluded ('beforeafter'): this is the subtle one. The Tag Processor does NOT emit SCRIPT contents as a #text token -- it reports SCRIPT as a single #tag token whose JS is its modifiable text (html-tag-processor.md 'Special atomic HTML elements': 'the Tag Processor treats the entire sequence as one, from the opening tag, including its contents, through its closing tag... The inner contents of these elements are that element's modifiable text'). So the trials' '#text'-only filter correctly drops the script. Trials 1 and 2 succeeded here only because that documented behavior holds; their own explanations vaguely say the Tag Processor 'handles those elements specially' rather than naming the mechanism, so this was somewhat lucky alignment rather than demonstrated understanding. The HTML Processor (trial 3) gets the same result via get_modifiable_text() noting SCRIPT/STYLE contents are non-#text modifiable text.\n- multibyte-emoji / accented: mb_strlen/mb_substr with 'UTF-8' is general PHP knowledge, not doc-driven, but the task's 'code points' framing plus passing results show no byte/codepoint confusion.\n- malformed-nesting ('onetwotail') and interelement-whitespace ('a b'): the HTML Processor next_token() doc explicitly promises a closer for every opener 'even in malformed input', and warns text 'may be split across several consecutive #text tokens: accumulate text while walking'. Trial 3 benefits directly. Trials 1/2 (Tag Processor) also pass because for this input the lexical scan yields the same text nodes -- verified by probe that both processors produce identical text for both cases.\n\nThe one near-miss / latent risk: trials 1 and 2 chose WP_HTML_Tag_Processor where the reference and the task framing ('the concatenation of every text node in document order') point to the structure-aware WP_HTML_Processor. For these nine inputs the lexical scan is indistinguishable, but the Tag Processor has no document-tree model; in foreign content, template contents, or other reconstruction-sensitive inputs the two can diverge. The docs do contrast them (HTML Processor next_token: 'Unlike the Tag Processor's purely lexical scan, the HTML Processor visits a closing token for every element it opens... Walking code can rely on seeing a closer for every opener even in malformed input'), but nothing tells a reader which processor to reach for when the goal is faithful text extraction, so two of three subjects defaulted to the lighter-weight Tag Processor. No functional failure resulted, but it is the weakest API-selection decision in the set.",

Two of three subjects reached for the Tag Processor for 'concatenate every text node in document order', which happens to work on the test inputs but is a purely lexical scanner with no document-tree model and can diverge from a real DOM text walk on reconstruction-sensitive input. The HTML Processor next_token() doc contrasts the two, but only a reader who already lands on that page sees it.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short 'Choosing a processor' note near the top of both Overviews: use the Tag Processor for localized lexical edits (find tags, change attributes/classes) where document structure is not consulted; use the HTML Processor when correctness depends on document structure -- nesting, implicit/auto closing, breadcrumbs, or faithfully enumerating text nodes in DOM order.

A reader filtering on '#text' to collect visible text relies on this implicitly. The subjects' explanations show they did not clearly grasp WHY script content is excluded; they guessed the processor 'handles it specially'.",
+      "suggestion": "In get_token_type() (or a one-line cross-reference there), state explicitly that SCRIPT, STYLE, TITLE, TEXTAREA, etc. are surfaced as a single #tag token and their inner content is NOT emitted as a separate #text token -- so a '#text'-only walk naturally excludes script/style content. This makes the common 'extract visible text' pattern intentional rather than incidental."

+      "suggestion": "In the text-accumulation example, add a one-line note that the returned text is UTF-8 and that length/substring operations on it should use multibyte-aware functions (mb_strlen/mb_substr with 'UTF-8') when counting characters or code points, since byte length differs from character count for accented and emoji content."

The one defect: inner loop uses `get_current_depth() > $depth_inside_a` (strict greater-than) instead of the documented `>=`. This breaks the documented contract that a child element's closer reports a depth EQUAL to the parent opener's depth. On the simple case `<a href=\"/b\"><em>second</em> link</a>`, the `</em>` closer reports depth 4 (== opener depth 4), terminating the walk before the ` link` text at depth 5 is seen, yielding \"second\" not \"second link\". Both documented examples (next_token and get_current_depth) use `>=` verbatim; trial deviated from the shown idiom. Edge cases otherwise handled well: null-href skip, valueless href=>true, decoded entities, empty image-link text, unclosed link.

All methods documented. 8/8, all edge cases handled. Slightly more verbose than trial-2 but equally correct and idiomatic."
+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "Only one hidden case failed across all three trials: trial-1, case `simple`, expected text \\\"second link\\\" but produced \\\"second\\\".\n\nRoot cause (single misconception): trial-1 used a strict greater-than depth comparator in the text-collection loop, `while ( $processor->next_token() && $processor->get_current_depth() > $depth_inside_a )`, whereas the correct (and documented) comparator is `>=`. The semantics of get_current_depth on closing tokens are the crux. Probe confirms the depth sequence inside `<a href=\\\"/b\\\"><em>second</em> link</a>` (A opener at depth 4): `<em>` opener=5, `second` text=6, `</em>` CLOSER=4, ` ` text=5, `link` text=5, `</a>` closer=3. Because a child element's closing token is reported AFTER the element has been popped from the stack of open elements, the `</em>` closer reports depth 4 — exactly equal to the A opener's depth. A `>` comparator treats that as \\\"exited the A element\\\" and stops the walk, dropping the subsequent ` link` text (depth 5). A `>=` comparator keeps going and only stops at the `</a>` closer (depth 3). Trials 2 and 3 used `>=` (and the equivalent `< break`) and passed.\n\nThis is NOT a documentation gap — the docs are explicit and repeatedly correct on this exact point. The html-processor.md `get_current_depth()` method docblock states: \\\"when the processor is matched on a CLOSING tag token, the closed element has already been removed from the stack of open elements... For an element whose opener reported depth N, every token inside it reports a depth of at least N, the closers of its child elements included. The first token to report a depth less than N is the element's own closing token.\\\" It then shows the canonical loop `while ( $processor->next_token() && $processor->get_current_depth() >= $depth_inside_ul )`. The `next_token()` method docblock shows the same `>=` idiom with the explanatory comment \\\"The closers of nested elements (`</strong>`) report a depth no lower than the LI's contents, so the loop continues through them.\\\" The `is_tag_closer()` docblock reiterates that a closer reports \\\"one less than the depth reported at the matching opening tag.\\\" Trial-1 had all the information needed and simply transcribed the documented pattern with the wrong operator. The other two trials demonstrate the docs were sufficient to produce a fully correct solution.\n\nNear-misses in explanations: all three explanations are accurate. Trial-1's explanation says it \\\"iterates through all tokens inside the element\\\" — but its `>` comparator does not, revealing the author did not connect the child-closer depth semantics to the operator choice despite those semantics being spelled out in the docs.\n\nWhat the docs did well: the two worked examples (next_token, get_current_depth) model this exact task — record the opener depth, walk while depth stays at/above it, accumulate #text via get_modifiable_text — and the prose pre-empts the precise off-by-one that the closer-depth behavior invites. The decoded-attribute/decoded-text and valueless-attribute (true) semantics in get_attribute's docblock and the modifiable-text sections were also sufficient; no trial missed href=>true, the &amp; decoding in href or text, the empty image-link text, or the unclosed-link case.",

Trial-1 used `>` and silently dropped text that follows a nested element's closing tag. A reader who skims the example and grabs the comparator without internalizing the closer-depth paragraph can land on `>`, which works on flat links and only fails when a child element is followed by more text inside the same parent — a subtle, data-dependent bug.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a one-line explicit warning adjacent to the example, e.g.: \"Use `>=`, not `>`: a nested child element's CLOSING token reports a depth equal to the enclosing element's opener depth, so `>` would stop the walk at the first nested closer and miss any text that follows it within the same element.\" This generalizes beyond this task to any token-walking-by-depth use."

Readers must infer the boundary equality, which is exactly where the `>` vs `>=` choice is decided.",
+      "suggestion": "State the equality explicitly and pair it with the comparator: \"A direct child element's closing token reports a depth equal to N (the parent's opener depth); this is why the continuation condition must be `get_current_depth() >= N` rather than `> N`.\" A tiny worked depth-trace for an element containing a nested element followed by text (e.g. opener=N, child-opener=N+1, child-text=N+2, child-closer=N, trailing-text=N+1, own-closer=N-1) would make the boundary unambiguous."

+  "failure_analysis": "No failures: all three trials passed all 7 hidden cases with no _doing_it_wrong or trigger_error records. The documentation supported this task well and the three subjects converged on the canonical solution.\n\nWhat the docs did well:\n1. get_breadcrumbs() is documented twice in a way that directly enables the ancestor test. The class-level overview (html-processor.md lines 50-54) plus the method entry (lines 809-826) state breadcrumbs run \"from the outermost parent and descend toward the matched element\" and show the concrete example get_breadcrumbs() === array('HTML','BODY','P','STRONG','EM','IMG'). This made the in_array('BLOCKQUOTE', $crumbs, true) ancestor check obvious and unambiguous, including the fact that ancestor names appear uppercased.\n2. The next_token example at html-processor.md line 640, `while ( $processor->next_token() && in_array( 'LI', $processor->get_breadcrumbs(), true ) )`, is essentially the exact idiom all three subjects reused (with next_tag instead of next_token). This is the single most load-bearing passage; it modeled the breadcrumb-membership test verbatim.\n3. create_fragment() is documented as returning static|null (line 349) and the overview example (line 42) shows the pattern, so all three subjects correctly guarded the null case and returned the input unchanged.\n4. next_tag() query forms are well documented in html-tag-processor.md (lines 49-53): the array('tag_name'=>...) form, the string shorthand, and case-insensitivity. The three subjects collectively used 'p', 'P' array form, and 'P' string form — all worked, confirming the docs covered the accepted argument shapes.\n5. The implicitly-closed-paragraphs and nested-blockquotes cases (the trickiest) passed without any subject reasoning about HTML parsing rules, because the docs correctly frame WP_HTML_Processor as maintaining a real open-elements stack; subjects trusted the parser rather than string-matching, which is exactly what the docs steer toward (lines 50, 612, 680 describing the stack of open elements).\n\nNear-misses in explanations: none misused the API. The only conceptual imprecision is that none of the subjects sliced the current node off the breadcrumbs (the reference uses array_slice($crumbs,0,-1)). The reference does this to express \"ancestor strictly above\" precisely; the subjects relied on the incidental fact that the matched node is always P and the sought ancestor is BLOCKQUOTE, so the current node can never produce a false match. It is correct for this query but is a weaker mental model — a subject searching for, say, a P inside a P would have a latent bug. No doc passage explicitly warns that get_breadcrumbs() includes the matched node and that callers wanting strict ancestors must exclude the last element, though the IMG example does show the matched node as the final entry.\"",

Callers who want strict ancestors must drop the last element, and nothing flags this. All three subjects searched the full array; it happened to be safe only because the sought tag (BLOCKQUOTE) differs from the matched tag (P).",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence: 'The last element of the returned array is always the currently-matched node itself; to test only ancestors (a strict parent chain), exclude the final element, e.g. array_slice( $breadcrumbs, 0, -1 ).' This generalizes to any ancestor-membership test and prevents a latent self-match bug when the sought tag can equal the matched tag."

+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "Three failed hidden cases across trials, all rooted in ONE misconception about the depth-bounded walk boundary; no hallucinated APIs and no _doing_it_wrong records anywhere.\n\nFAILURE A — thead-tbody (trial-2 and trial-3). Misconception: subjects anchored their loop boundary at the TABLE *opener* depth and used a strict `>` comparison: `while next_token() && get_current_depth() > $table_depth`. With $table_depth=3 (the TABLE opener's depth), implicitly-inserted section closers report the PARENT context: the </thead> closer reports depth 3, not 4. Because 3 > 3 is false, the loop stops at the first section closer and never reaches the TBODY rows. Verified by probe: TABLE opener depth=3, and THEAD/TBODY closers both report d=3. Responsible documentation: (1) `next_token()` and `get_current_depth()` examples both demonstrate the safe pattern as `get_current_depth() >= $depth_inside` — subjects copied the SHAPE but flipped `>=` to `>`. (2) `is_tag_closer()` correctly states 'the closer of an element reports a depth one less than its opener did,' which is exactly why a closer at the boundary lands ON the threshold rather than below it. The docs never show the failure mode for `>` versus `>=`, and never illustrate a multi-level subtree (a table with TABLE > TBODY > TR > TD) where intermediate-section closers sit at the boundary. The LI example is only two levels deep (UL > LI), so `>=` vs `>` would behave identically there for the *outer* element and never exposes the trap. The docs also never note that create_fragment auto-inserts TBODY (a browser behavior the task relies on), so subjects had no signal that TABLE's direct children are sections, not rows.\n\nFAILURE B — markup-in-cells (trial-2 only). Same misconception applied to a nested inner loop. Trial-2 entered each TD, captured $cell_depth (the TD opener depth, 6), and collected text with `while next_token() && get_current_depth() > $cell_depth`. The </strong> closer reports depth 6 (the parent TD's depth, per is_tag_closer docs), so 6 > 6 is false and the inner loop exits at </strong>, before the trailing ' text' #text node at depth 7. Result 'bold' instead of 'bold text'. This is precisely the scenario the `next_token()` example's inline comment calls out: 'The closers of nested elements (</strong>) report a depth no lower than the LI's contents, so the loop continues through them' — but only when using `>=`. Trial-2 used `>` and got bitten exactly as the comment implies. Trial-3 avoided this by using a flat $in_cell flag with a single loop, and trial-1 avoided it the same way, so neither nested-loop'd into the trap.\n\nWHY TRIAL-1 PASSED: it abandoned the depth boundary entirely on the outer loop (`while next_token()`, break on the TABLE tag-closer) and used a flat in-cell flag, so neither off-by-one could arise. This is a valid but less-documented strategy; it leans on next_token's guarantee that 'the HTML Processor visits a closing token for every element it opens... even elements left unclosed,' ensuring a TABLE closer always appears. The docs support this guarantee explicitly, so trial-1's approach is sound.\n\nNet: the docs DID teach the correct `>=` pattern and DID explain closer-depth semantics, but the two facts live in separate method docblocks and the only worked example (UL>LI, single nesting level) is too shallow to make the `>=`-not-`>` requirement load-bearing. Subjects who paraphrased the pattern as `>` had nothing in the examples to contradict them.",

+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::get_current_depth() — example block (and the parallel example in next_token())",
+      "problem": "The only depth-bounded walk example (UL > LI) nests just one level deep, so `>= $depth_inside` and `> $depth_inside` produce identical results for the outer element. Two of three subjects paraphrased the loop as `get_current_depth() > $anchor_depth` and broke on the boundary, because nothing in the example shows that `>=` is load-bearing. The strict-greater-than variant silently truncates at any closer that reports the anchor depth.",
+      "suggestion": "State explicitly that the subtree-walk guard must be `>=` the depth captured at the opener, and add one sentence on why: a closer reports its parent's depth, so it lands ON the anchor depth, and `>` would terminate the walk one token early at the first such closer. Optionally show the `>` variant as a 'common mistake' that drops trailing siblings/sections."

Real traversal targets (a TABLE containing implicit TBODY > TR > TD, or a cell containing inline markup followed by trailing text) have intermediate-element closers that sit exactly at the boundary. The shallow example never exercises the case where an intermediate closer equals the anchor depth, which is precisely where `>` fails.",
+      "suggestion": "Add (or switch to) an example with at least three nesting levels where an intermediate closer reports the anchor depth — e.g. walking a container whose children are themselves wrappers around the content. Annotate the depth reported at each opener, text node, and closer so readers see the intermediate closer landing on the threshold and understand why the `>=` boundary keeps the walk alive."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment() — HTML Support / table parsing note",
+      "problem": "The docs state the processor applies full HTML5 semantics but never mention the concrete consequence most relevant to traversal: parsing auto-inserts implied elements such as TBODY into tables. Subjects assumed TABLE's direct children are rows, captured their loop anchor at the TABLE opener, and were surprised when section (THEAD/TBODY) closers — not row closers — sat at their boundary.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short note that fragment parsing inserts implied container elements per the HTML spec (e.g. a TBODY is generated around table rows even when the source omits it), and that get_breadcrumbs/get_current_depth reflect these inserted elements. This generalizes to OPTGROUP, implicit HEAD/BODY, list grouping, etc., and would steer authors toward breadcrumb checks (in_array('TR', get_breadcrumbs())) over fragile fixed-depth anchors."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::next_token() — guidance on terminating a subtree walk",
+      "problem": "next_token documents that every opener gets a matching closer (even for implicit/unclosed elements) but does not connect this to the most reliable way to bound a subtree walk. The trial that passed everything used an explicit 'break on the container's tag closer' strategy; the trials that failed used arithmetic depth comparisons and got the operator wrong.",
+      "suggestion": "Briefly present both documented termination strategies side by side: (a) the `>= $anchor_depth` depth guard, and (b) a breadcrumb guard (`while in_array($container, get_breadcrumbs(), true)`), noting the breadcrumb form reads identically on openers, text nodes, and closers and is immune to the off-by-one. The breadcrumb form is already shown once under next_token; cross-reference it from get_current_depth as the safer alternative when exact depth arithmetic is error-prone."

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed 8/8 with zero _doing_it_wrong and zero trigger_error records. The task is well-served by the docs, so this analysis covers what the docs did well plus near-misses.\n\nWhat the docs did well: html-processor.md's serialize_token() section (lines 1003-1032) is almost a direct template for this task. Line 1013 states the exact pattern the reference uses: 'Walking every token with next_token and concatenating serialize_token() ... reconstructs the normalized serialization ... a rewriting loop can transform the document while serializing: skip tokens to remove them, or emit extra markup around them to insert wrappers.' The worked example (lines 1017-1027) shows the next_token + serialize_token loop with a per-token branch. All three subjects reproduced this faithfully. The strong 'Serialization is NOT the way to retrieve a document after modifying it ... use get_updated_html()' warnings (lines 1031-1032, 963) correctly steered subjects away from the edit/get_updated_html path — though trial-1 only learned this after writing and abandoning a bookmark/get_updated_html attempt, indicating the warning is present but easy to miss on first read. The create_fragment null-return contract was understood by all three (every candidate guards `if ( null === $processor ) return ''`).\n\nNear-misses and latent risks (did not cause failures here, but the docs left them under-specified):\n\n1. Decoded-text semantics of get_modifiable_text() (entity-encoded-keyword-matches case). The case `<p>w&#111;rld peace</p>` matching 'world' depends entirely on get_modifiable_text() returning DECODED text. The get_modifiable_text() docblock (html-processor.md lines 2055-2073) never uses the word 'decoded' or mentions character-reference resolution — it only describes which node types carry modifiable text. Subjects succeeded only because the TASK spec (not the docs) told them the match is against decoded text. Had the task been silent, a subject could reasonably have assumed raw source text and failed this case.\n\n2. Comment contents are also 'modifiable text' (keyword-in-comment-not-wrapped case). The same docblock (line 2063) explicitly says modifiable text 'includes ... the inner contents of HTML comments.' A subject that matched on get_modifiable_text() WITHOUT first gating on `'#text' === get_token_type()` would have wrapped the `<!-- world -->` comment's text and failed. All three correctly gated on token type, but the docs do not pair the get_modifiable_text() description with a warning like 'check get_token_type() first if you only want #text nodes' — the safe pattern was inferred, not documented at the method.\n\n3. Redundant normalize() (trials 2 and 3). Both added a final WP_HTML_Processor::normalize() over already-token-serialized output. It is harmless and idempotent here, but the docs never explicitly state that the serialize_token() loop output is ALREADY fully normalized and needs no further normalization, nor that re-normalizing concatenated output (now containing injected raw <mark> markup) is safe/stable. Line 1013 implies it but stops short of 'do not normalize the result again.' Two of three subjects hedged with an extra pass, suggesting the idempotency guarantee was not clear enough to trust.\"",

'</mark>'`) must be inferred. Subjects inferred it correctly, but a second example would remove the gap entirely.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short companion example for the wrap case alongside the skip example, e.g. wrapping matching #text tokens: `if ( '#text' === $p->get_token_type() && str_contains( $p->get_modifiable_text(), $needle ) ) { $out .= '<mark>' . $p->serialize_token() . '</mark>'; } else { $out .= $p->serialize_token(); }`. Demonstrates the documented 'insert wrappers' path concretely without encoding any one task's full solution."

Minor non-idiomatic point: calls release_bookmark inside the loop before re-setting the SAME name, which the docs (set_bookmark, line 1109) explicitly say is unnecessary because re-setting a name MOVES the bookmark and does not leak it. Harmless but redundant. Edge cases handled: no-H2 guarded via null check, comment-fake-H2 handled by next_tag, existing class preserved by add_class.

It only avoids hitting the bookmark limit because it releases the previous bookmark each iteration; the docs offer the simpler, recommended single-fixed-name approach (line 1109) which this ignores.

The single most decisive passage is WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::set_bookmark() at line 1109, which states the exact pattern T10 requires: \"Re-setting the same name on every match is the supported idiom for remembering 'the last X seen so far' ... only the final position survives to be used. This is how to track the last occurrence of something in a single pass without hitting the bookmark limit.\" Lines 1076-1102 supply a near-identical worked example (tracking the last LI via a re-set 'last-li' bookmark plus seek + add_class), which is structurally the same as marking the last H2. All three subjects independently reproduced this bookmark-walk + seek + add_class + get_updated_html pipeline correctly.\\n\\nNear-misses worth noting in the explanations rather than the code:\\n1. Trial-3 ignored the explicit warning (lines 1107 and 1191) against programmatic bookmark names and instead generated unique names via uniqid(). It passed only because it also released each prior bookmark, keeping one live bookmark at a time. Had it forgotten the release, a large document (the task warns it 'may contain many H2 tags') could exceed the bookmark limit. The docs warn about this but the subject did not internalize it; the line-1109 idiom that would have avoided the whole problem was present but unused.\\n2. Trial-1 added a redundant release_bookmark inside the loop before re-setting the same name. Line 1109 says re-setting MOVES the bookmark and 'does not leak the old one or require releasing it first,' so the release is dead code. This is a comprehension gap about the move-on-reuse semantics, not an error.\\n3. All three relied on next_tag matching regardless of the casing they passed ('h2', 'H2'). This happens to be correct (the query tag_name is matched case-insensitively, and get_tag returns the uppercased name), and it worked in every trial, but nothing in the next_tag query documentation states that tag_name matching is case-insensitive. This is a latent gap that did not bite here but easily could on a task where a subject assumes the opposite.\\n4. Trials' confidence that comments are skipped is correct (next_tag only stops on real tags, and an H2 inside a comment is part of a comment token), but the docs never explicitly state 'tags inside comments are not matched.' The subjects inferred it correctly, but the reasoning in trial-2's explanation was imprecise about comment tokenization.",

Null handling is correct and explicit: both normalizations are checked, and a null from either short-circuits to false, satisfying the 'cannot be fully parsed -> false' requirement. The misnesting case (`<b>one<i>two</b>three</i>`) is correctly handled because normalize() returns null on the unsupported adoption-agency reconstruction. Passed 9/9.

The documentation was decisive here. Three doc properties drove the clean sweep: (1) WP_HTML_Processor::normalize() has a prominent, self-contained docblock (html-processor.md lines 901-951) whose bullet list explicitly enumerates the exact equivalence axes the task asks about — double-quoting attributes, removing duplicate attributes, adding omitted tags, lowercasing tag/attribute names, re-encoding text and decoding character references, and dropping incomplete trailing syntax. A subject reading only this list can map every 'true' test case to a documented normalization and every 'false' case (attribute order, attribute value, text, structure) to something normalize() does NOT collapse. (2) The return contract 'Normalized output, or null if unable to normalize' is stated in the signature and Returns row, so every subject guarded both calls for null and returned false — directly satisfying the 'cannot be fully parsed -> false' requirement and the misnesting-unsupported-false case. (3) The class-level 'HTML Support' section (lines 81-90) names the precise failing input `<b>one<i>two</b>three</i>` as an unsupported mis-nested-formatting reconstruction that causes the processor to abort and (line 82) explicitly says normalize()/serialize() 'return null' in that situation. This is the single hardest case and the docs pre-answered it almost verbatim.\\n\\nNear-misses in the explanations, none affecting correctness: (a) All three explanations describe normalize() returning null on parse failure but none mention that the unsupported path also emits a PHP warning via _doing_it_wrong/trigger_error (execution.json shows level 512, E_USER_WARNING, 'Cannot serialize HTML Processor with parsing error: unsupported'). This warning is raised inside normalize()'s internal serialize() call, not by candidate code, so it is harmless to the test outcome, but a subject relying on the docs would not anticipate emitting a warning in production for merely-unsupported input. (b) Trial-1's explanation says normalize 'decodes equivalent character references'; the entity-spellings-equal case (`&amp;` vs `&AMP;`) actually passes because both are normalized to the same re-encoded form (`&amp;`), which the docs phrase as 'Text will be re-encoded' rather than 'decoded' — a minor imprecision, not an error, since the docs themselves invite this reading. No subject conflated normalize() with serialize()-needs-a-fresh-processor or with get_updated_html(), which the docs went out of their way to disambiguate (lines 963, 1031-1032).\"",

This makes the 'two equivalent entity spellings compare equal' guarantee something a reader can rely on rather than infer."

The list of what normalize() collapses is thorough, but the complementary list of what it deliberately does NOT collapse is absent, leaving a reader to assume by omission.",

The `serialize_token()` method docs (html-processor.md:1003-1029) contain a worked example that is structurally identical to this task — \"Remove every SUP element but keep its contents\" — a token-walk loop that does `if ('SUP' === $processor->get_tag()) continue;` then concatenates `serialize_token()`, with the inline comment \"Skips both the opener and the closer.\" All three subjects reproduced this pattern, substituting SPAN for SUP. The surrounding prose (line 1013) also explicitly states the two facts that make the pattern correct: (1) concatenating serialize_token() over every token \"reconstructs the normalized serialization of the input,\" and (2) \"Closing tokens of skipped elements must be skipped too.\" This pre-empted the two most likely failure modes — using get_updated_html()/serialize() instead of per-token serialization, and skipping only the opener (which would leave a dangling `</span>`). Near-misses worth noting: (a) None of the subjects guarded with `get_token_type() === '#tag'` as the reference does; this is harmless because get_tag() returns null for #text/#comment/#doctype tokens (verified by probe), and the documented example also omits the guard — but the docs never state this null-return guarantee explicitly, so the subjects copied a pattern whose safety they could not have derived from first principles. (b) The unclosed-span case (`<p><span class=\"x\">runs to end`) and the optional-tag-closing cases passed purely because serialize_token() over a fragment processor inherently produces spec-normalized output (implicit `</p>`, `&AMP;` → `&amp;`); subjects relied on this correctly but the docs convey it only through the one example output and the prose phrase \"fully-normative HTML string,\" never enumerating which normalizations occur (entity re-encoding, optional end-tag insertion, attribute quoting). The explanations asserted these behaviors confidently, which happened to be right.",

Subjects who walk with next_token() and branch on `get_tag() === 'SPAN'` (instead of the more defensive `get_token_type() === '#tag'` guard) cannot prove from the docs that a text node containing the word 'span' won't match. It worked here only by luck of the implementation.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to get_tag(): 'On non-tag tokens (text, comments, doctype) this returns null, so a plain `get_tag() === \"TAGNAME\"` check inside a next_token() loop never matches text or comment content.' This makes the common token-filtering pattern provably safe."

Confident-but-unverifiable claims in the explanations.",

+  "explanation": "The implementation uses WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment() to parse the HTML fragment, then iterates through every token using next_token(). For each token, it checks if the tag name is 'SPAN' and skips both opening and closing span tags by using continue. All other tokens (including text nodes, attributes, nested elements, and their closers) are serialized using serialize_token() and appended to the output string. This automatically produces normalized HTML with double-quoted attributes, canonical text encoding, and closed optional tags.",

Subject: [PATCH 024/193] HTML API docs round 6 hypotheses: processor chooser,
 tree-awareness boundary, get_updated_html identity, >= warning placement.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Round-5's two single-trial collapses both trace to unstated boundaries:
a T06 trial attempted tree-aware work in the Tag Processor (whose docs
never say it lacks depth/breadcrumbs), and a T03 trial copied the
next_token() example but guessed '>' because the >= warning only
existed in get_current_depth().

- Tag Processor overview: 'Which processor should I use?' section
  stating it has NO tree awareness and where those methods live;
  HTML Processor overview gets the matching half.
- get_updated_html(): own description at last (was a copy of
  __toString's) — read-your-edits semantics, byte preservation,
  safe mid-scan.
- next_token() example now carries the >= warning inline where the
  failing trial actually read.

+  "failure_analysis": "No failures: all three trials passed all 9 hidden cases with no _doing_it_wrong or trigger_error records. The task maps almost 1:1 onto a single documented method (paused_at_incomplete_token), and all three subjects independently produced the exact reference implementation: construct WP_HTML_Tag_Processor, exhaust the document with `while ($processor->next_token());`, then return paused_at_incomplete_token().\n\nWhat the docs did well: (1) The method-summary table (tag-processor.md line 354) describes paused_at_incomplete_token in plain English ('Whether the processor paused because the input HTML document ended in the middle of a syntax element, such as in the middle of a tag'), which directly names the task. (2) The next_token() description (lines 962-965) explains the pause-and-seek-back behavior on truncated input ('If it starts parsing a token and reaches the end of the document then it will seek to the start of the last token and pause, returning false'), which justifies why draining the loop then checking the flag works. (3) The class-overview bullet at line 933 and the changelog at line 343 ('Pauses processor when input ends in an incomplete syntax token') reinforce the concept. (4) The behavioral edge cases in the task (lone '<' is text, unclosed-but-complete <div> elements) are handled automatically by the engine, so subjects didn't need to special-case them — and the docs' framing of 'incomplete token' vs structural completeness let the subjects explain them correctly.\n\nNear-miss in explanations: trial-3's explanation says a 'lone <' returns false 'since those represent complete tokens', loosely lumping the trailing-'<'-is-text rule together with the structurally-unclosed-element rule; it's slightly imprecise but the code is correct and the distinction didn't matter for any case. All three subjects had to infer that paused_at_incomplete_token must be called after fully draining the document — the documented example for that method (lines 1017-1021) only shows a single next_tag() call on an attribute cut short, not a complete token-drain loop, so the 'scan to end, then check the flag' idiom was reconstructed rather than copied. They reconstructed it correctly.",

+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::paused_at_incomplete_token() (tag-processor.md, ~line 1007)",

It does not show the general 'scan the whole document, then check the flag' idiom, which is the actual pattern needed to detect truncation anywhere in a document (not just inside the first tag). Subjects had to infer the drain loop; they succeeded, but a less capable model could call the method prematurely (before reaching EOF) and get a meaningless result.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a second example showing the canonical drain-then-check pattern: `while ( $processor->next_token() ) { continue; } if ( $processor->paused_at_incomplete_token() ) { ... }`, with a one-line note that the flag is only meaningful once next_token()/next_tag() has returned false at the end of input."

These are exactly the boundary cases the concept hinges on.",
+      "suggestion": "Expand the description to: (a) list the token types whose truncation pauses the processor — incomplete tag, unterminated comment/bogus comment, and special elements (SCRIPT/STYLE/TITLE/TEXTAREA) with no closing tag before EOF, cross-referencing the 'special element' note at line 101; and (b) explicitly contrast with cases that are NOT incomplete: a bare trailing '<' (treated as text) and an open element with no closing tag (structurally unclosed but lexically whole)."

Correctly handles the documented null-on-unsupported semantics (line 82, line 953/'string|null - ... or null if unable to normalize'). Adds a defensive `null === $processor` guard on create_fragment(), which is more robust than the reference (the reference's normalize() chains create_fragment($html)->serialize() with no null check). Minor deduction only because the docs present static normalize() as the simplest one-call idiom for BODY-context fragments (line 909-912), making the two-step form slightly less direct than necessary here; it is fully documented and correct, just more verbose.

All three subjects found and applied this correctly.\n\nWhat the docs did well: (1) The class-level overview paragraph at line 82 surfaces the null-return-on-unsupported behavior up front, before any method heading, so subjects discovered the right detection mechanism without hunting. (2) The normalize()/serialize() method blocks each restate the `string|null` return with an explicit '...or null if unable to normalize' description, reinforcing the contract at the point of use. (3) Line 909-912 explicitly equates normalize() (static, BODY-context one-call) with the create_fragment()->serialize() two-step, so both the reference idiom (trials 2/3) and the explicit two-step idiom (trial-1) are documented and discoverable — which is why all three trials converged on correct, non-hallucinated solutions.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: (a) Trial-1's explanation says serialize() 'returns null if the processor fails to create' — a slight conflation: create_fragment() failing returns null (a separate event), while serialize() returns null for unsupported markup; the code itself separates these correctly, so this is only an imprecision in prose. (b) Trials 2/3 describe normalize() as one that 'aborts and returns null' on unsupported markup — accurate, though none of the explanations mention the subtle precondition documented at line 963/1034 that serialize()/normalize() require a processor on which scanning has not yet begun. That precondition is irrelevant to this task (subjects never scanned) but a subject doing a token-walk variant could have tripped on it. (c) No trial exercised the trigger_error/_doing_it_wrong dimension intentionally: the E_USER_NOTICE 'Cannot serialize HTML Processor with parsing error: unsupported' on the adoption-agency case is emitted from inside serialize() and fires identically for all three trials (since normalize() delegates to serialize()). None of the docs warn that detecting failure via serialize()/normalize() returning null also emits a _doing_it_wrong notice — a subject who wanted silent failure-detection would be surprised. This did not affect correctness because the harness only treats _doing_it_wrong (not trigger_error) as misuse, and the notice here is a benign side effect of the intended failure path.",

(2) Edge-case miss: guard is `null!==$src && true!==$src` with NO empty-string check, so an img with src=\"\" (which get_attribute returns as '', documented at tag-processor line 81/1472 and reference.php's '' !== $src) WOULD be collected, violating the task's 'skip src with no value.'

The 'foreign content (SVG and MathML)' note in the html-processor intro (line 84) and get_namespace's 'One of html, math, or svg' return doc steered all three toward a namespace-aware approach, which is why every trial reached for create_fragment (the HTML Processor) rather than the lexical Tag Processor — the single most important decision and they all got it right.\n\nThe recurring near-miss across ALL THREE trials: each added a get_namespace()!=='html' continue-guard that is dead code. The hidden 'image-tag-becomes-img', 'img-inside-svg-breaks-out', 'svg-image-excluded', and 'mixed-document' cases all pass with next_tag('IMG') alone, because the spec renames SVG's element to tag name IMAGE (uppercase) and HTML's <image> to IMG, so a query for 'IMG' is already namespace-correct. The subjects didn't know this and hedged. The responsible documentation absence: neither next_tag() (html-processor.md heading ~573) nor get_tag()'s note ('certain tags be reprocessed with a different tag name', line 1711) nor get_namespace() ties these facts together. get_tag mentions reprocessing abstractly but gives no example, and never states the two cases that this task hinges on: (a) HTML <image> is parsed as img, (b) SVG's raster element is the SVG-namespace element image (tag name IMAGE), distinct from HTML img, so next_tag('IMG') naturally excludes it. Because that connection is missing, subjects couldn't reason that the namespace check was unnecessary, so they wrote redundant (though harmless) code.\n\nThe other latent issue, isolated to trial 1: the empty-string edge case. get_attribute's empty-string behavior is documented (tag-processor line 81), but it is buried in prose near the top of the Tag Processor overview and is NOT repeated at the get_attribute() method heading in html-processor.md (which only says 'null if not available. Boolean attributes return true' at line 1487 — it omits the '' case). A subject reading the Processor method reference rather than the Tag Processor overview prose would see only null/true and miss '', which is plausibly why trial 1 guarded null and true but not ''. The frozen tests didn't catch it, but it's a real spec violation the docs could have prevented with a complete return-value enumeration at the method heading.",
+  "doc_gaps": [
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::next_tag() — html-processor.md (method heading ~line 573) and/or get_tag() note (~line 1711)",
+      "problem": "The docs never state that next_tag()/tag-name matching operates on the spec-adjusted, namespace-resolved tag name. A reader cannot tell that querying for an HTML element name automatically excludes same-spelled foreign-content elements, nor that the HTML parser renames some elements (e.g. an HTML <image> start tag is parsed as img). All three subjects compensated with a redundant get_namespace() guard because they couldn't confirm the query was already namespace-safe.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a sentence and one example to next_tag (or get_tag) explaining that the HTML Processor matches the post-parse tag name and namespace: a tag-name query matches HTML-namespace elements with that resolved name, while same-spelled foreign-content elements carry a different resolved name/namespace and are not matched. Include a tiny example showing that next_tag for an HTML element name does not stop on a like-named SVG/MathML element, and that some HTML start tags are reprocessed to a different element name."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::get_attribute() — html-processor.md method heading (~line 1487)",
+      "problem": "The Returns line in html-processor.md states only 'Value of attribute or null if not available. Boolean attributes return true' and omits the empty-string case. The fact that a present-but-empty attribute returns '' lives only in the Tag Processor overview prose (tag-processor.md line 81) and is not surfaced at the Processor method reference. A subject reading the Processor docs (trial 1) guarded null and true but not '', producing a latent bug for src=\"\".",
+      "suggestion": "Enumerate all three return shapes at the get_attribute() method heading in html-processor.md, matching the Tag Processor: string for a value, true for a valueless/boolean attribute, '' (empty string) for a present-but-empty attribute, and null when absent. A one-line example (e.g. an attribute written as name=\"\" returns '') would make 'attribute present but has no value' unambiguous and prevent subjects from conflating it with null."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::get_namespace() — html-processor.md (~line 1691) and html-tag-processor.md (~line 1532)",
+      "problem": "get_namespace documents the return values (html/math/svg) but gives no guidance on when a caller actually needs it versus when a tag-name query already disambiguates. This drove all three subjects to add a namespace filter that is dead code for tag-name-based queries, suggesting the docs leave the relationship between tag-name matching and namespace filtering unclear.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short usage note to get_namespace clarifying that a tag-name query already resolves namespace, so an explicit namespace check is only needed when walking with next_token()/breadcrumbs or when matching elements whose names collide across namespaces. Point to the foreign-content discussion so readers know the parser, not the caller, separates HTML img from SVG-namespace elements."

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed in any trial: 24/24 across the three trials (8 cases each), zero _doing_it_wrong or trigger_error records. This is the corpus smoke test, and the docs supported it cleanly. All three subjects converged on the reference solution (new WP_HTML_Tag_Processor -> while next_tag('img'/array tag_name) -> add_class('wp-image') -> get_updated_html) with only a cosmetic difference in the query form (string vs array), both of which are documented side-by-side in the 'Finding tags' table.\n\nWhat the docs did well, mapped to each edge case the test probes:\n- uppercase-tag: next_tag() doc (line 929) states tag-name matching is ASCII case-insensitive AND that the source document's original casing is preserved in output. This single sentence prevented two distinct mistakes (failing to match <IMG>, and lowercasing it on output). All subjects cited it.\n- inside-comment-ignored: next_tag() doc (line 931) states tag-like text inside comments is text, not tags, and is never matched or modified. All three explanations reference this, none attempted manual comment detection.\n- incomplete-tag-at-end: next_tag() doc (line 933) plus the 'When matching fails' section (lines 84-99) state truncated input pauses the processor and the incomplete tag is never matched/modified. Subjects didn't even need to reason about this explicitly; the documented next_tag contract makes the loop terminate correctly and the trailing bytes pass through get_updated_html untouched.\n- existing-classes: the 'Modifying CSS classes' examples (lines 185-196) show add_class appending to an existing class list preserving order, and the 'Design and limitations' note (line 320) guarantees whitespace/ordering preservation. Exactly the 'photo large' -> 'photo large wp-image' behavior tested.\n- unquoted-attributes: line 320 documents that only updated attributes are re-emitted as double-quoted while untouched attributes (here src=a.jpg width=10) are left byte-for-byte. This is why the expected output keeps unquoted src/width but quotes the newly-added class.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations (not failures, but the only soft spots): each subject explains comment-skipping/case-insensitivity as emergent ('built in', 'automatically', 'because it only matches real tags') rather than pointing to the explicit next_tag() guarantees. The reasoning lands on the right answer but is one inference away from the precise documented contract, which means the docs are doing the heavy lifting implicitly. For a basic task this is fine; for harder tasks that same loose mental model (relying on emergent behavior rather than stated contracts) is where it could break.

This was a smoke/basic task and the documentation served it cleanly.\n\nWhat the docs did well: (1) The exact null/''/true return contract that the whole task pivots on appears in two reinforcing places — the 'Custom queries' prose (html-tag-processor.md lines 81-82: \\\"get_attribute() will return null if the attribute wasn't present... It may return '' ... For boolean attributes ... it will return true\\\") and the get_attribute() docblock (lines 1454-1487, return line \\\"Value of attribute or null if not available. Boolean attributes return true\\\"). All three subjects independently reproduced the null !== get_attribute('href') discriminator, which is the single decision distinguishing href=\\\"\\\" / <a href> (modify) from no-href (skip). (2) The 'set_attribute' attribute-placement section (lines 2142-2148) documents that a NEW attribute is inserted immediately after the tag name and that this happens automatically — so subjects did not fight the fact that target lands before href in the 'simple' case output; none tried to force ordering. (3) The next_tag() docblock (lines 929-933) explicitly states tag-like text inside comments and rawtext is never matched, which underwrites the 'inside-comment-ignored' case; subjects didn't need special handling and didn't add any. (4) get_updated_html() is correctly presented as the read-back-after-edits method, and the serialize/serialize_token docblocks (html-processor.md lines 965, 1033-1034) actively steer readers AWAY from serialize() toward get_updated_html() for retrieving modifications — a good guardrail that likely prevented a plausible wrong turn.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations (prose only, no code impact): trial-3 grouped valueless <a href> under 'empty attributes' returning '' while asserting boolean attributes return true; probing confirms <a href> actually returns boolean true, not ''. The reasoning still reached the correct null !== conclusion, so the code is right; the slip is that the docs describe the '' vs true distinction by stating the rule (boolean = name present, no value) without giving a worked example mapping the literal token <a href> to a true return. A subject reasoning purely from the prose could miscategorize which bucket <a href> falls into. It did not matter here because both buckets are non-null, but a task that needed to distinguish '' from true (e.g. 'modify only attributes with explicit empty-string values') could have failed on this exact ambiguity.",

Here both are non-null so it was harmless, but any task that must distinguish an explicitly-empty value from a valueless attribute is left to guess.",

It does not. Probe confirms the depth sequence: H1 opener = 3; 'A ' #text = 4; `<em>` = 4; 'B' #text = 5; `</em>` CLOSER = 3; ' ' #text = 4; 'C' #text = 4; `</h1>` closer = 2. The `</em>` closer reports depth 3 — equal to, not greater than, the H1 opener — because a closing token is matched AFTER its element is popped from the stack of open elements, so it reports the parent context's depth. The strict `>` guard sees depth 3 at `</em>` and exits the loop before reaching ' ' and 'C'. Compounding it, the trailing text ' C' is delivered as two separate #text tokens, the documented 'text content may be split across several consecutive #text tokens' behavior.\n\nResponsible documentation: this is a documentation success, not a gap. The behavior is stated three times in the get_current_depth() section of html-processor.md: (1) the prose at lines 846-849 ('every token inside it reports a depth of at least N, the closers of its child elements included ... continue while the depth remains at or above that value'); (2) both runnable examples (lines 885 and 626) use `>=`; (3) the explicit closing warning at line 893: 'Writing `>` instead would end the walk early, at the first closer of a direct child.' The next_token() example (lines 620-636) repeats the `>=` idiom and notes nested closers 'report a depth no lower than the LI's contents.' Trial-1 simply deviated from the copyable pattern and reintroduced exactly the bug the docs call out. Trials 2 and 3 copied the `>=` idiom and passed everything.\n\nNear-miss in explanations: all three self-reported confidence 92. Trial-1's confidence was unjustified given it diverged from the documented `>=`; its explanation even claims 'text nodes at or below the H1's depth boundary are skipped (including the H1's closing tag)' — a correct description of intent that its `>` code does not implement, since it also wrongly skips content following a child closer. The other near-failure surface the docs handled well: image-only-empty-string and unclosed-h1 both passed in all trials because the docs clearly state get_modifiable_text() decoding, the empty-string-for-no-text contract, and the guarantee that every opener yields a closer even in malformed/unclosed input.",

The reason for the clean sweep is that the docs contain a near-exact recipe for this task. The 'Building markup from a template' subsection in html-tag-processor.md (lines 150-174) demonstrates the precise pattern: a literal template '<a href=\\\"\\\" title=\\\"\\\">.</a>' with empty-value attributes (to preserve attribute order) and placeholder text (so a #text node exists), followed by next_tag()/set_attribute()/the next_token()+'#text'+set_modifiable_text() loop, and get_updated_html(). All three subjects mapped this onto the figure/img/figcaption shape. The docs did three things well that drove correctness: (1) the explicit warning at line 154 that ADDED attributes are sorted by name rather than call order, which steered subjects to seed empty src/alt in the template and thus pass the attribute-order requirement; (2) the line-156 note that an empty element has no text node for set_modifiable_text to replace, which led every subject to include the '.' placeholder rather than try to set text on an empty <figcaption>; (3) the encoding examples on set_attribute (html-processor.md:1863-1866: 'Eggs & Milk' -> 'Eggs &amp; Milk') and set_modifiable_text (html-tag-processor.md:1903-1906, plus :1831 stating set_modifiable_text accepts a plain unescaped string and encodes as needed), which gave subjects justified confidence that ampersands, quotes, angle brackets, and raw <script> would be encoded correctly and that HTML inside the caption is treated as text, not parsed. Near-misses in the explanations: trials 2 and 3 reported confidence of 72 and 75 despite producing correct code that exactly mirrors a documented example — a calibration undershoot, suggesting the docs do not make obvious enough that this template pattern is the blessed, complete solution for fragment construction (subjects were unsure whether get_updated_html() on a Tag Processor reliably round-trips the full fragment). None of the explanations mentioned the line-154 attribute-ordering caveat as the reason they seeded empty attributes, so it is unclear whether they reasoned from it or merely copied the example shape.\"",

+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed 9/9 with zero _doing_it_wrong records and no hallucinated API. The interesting signal is in processor CHOICE and robustness rather than functional failure.\n\nWhy all three passed despite two different processor choices: For every one of the 9 corpus cases, WP_HTML_Tag_Processor (trials 1-2) and WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment (trial 3, and the reference) produce identical text. I verified this with probes. The two cases that look like they would discriminate do not:\n- script-excluded: In BOTH processors, the <script> body is reported as a single token with token_type '#tag' and token_name 'SCRIPT' (its content is the tag's modifiable text), never as a '#text' token. The candidates' uniform `'#text' === get_token_type()` filter therefore excludes script/style content in either processor. This behavior is exactly documented in get_modifiable_text() ('They also contain the contents of SCRIPT and STYLE tags', tag-processor.md line 1816, 1820) and the Tag Processor's 'Special self-contained elements' / 'Special atomic HTML elements' sections.\n- malformed-nesting (<div><p>one<p>two</div>tail): the only structural fix needed is implicit </p> closing, and a flat token walk concatenating #text yields 'onetwotail' in both processors.\n\nThe latent (untested) misconception the corpus fails to surface: trials 1-2 assume the Tag Processor is a safe substitute for naive text extraction. It is not fully equivalent for spec-correct structural handling. Probe: input '<table>misplaced<tr><td>cell</table>' yields 'misplacedcell' under the Tag Processor but '' under the HTML Processor (which applies table foster-parenting / insertion-mode rules). The task's phrase 'as found inside <body>' plus 'malformed nesting' implies the HTML-Processor semantics the reference encodes. Because the corpus never includes a foster-parented or otherwise relocated-text case, the weaker choice scores a perfect functional pass. This is a test-coverage gap, not a doc failure — but it means the docs did not clearly steer trials 1-2 toward the structurally-aware processor.\n\nWhat the docs did well: the get_modifiable_text() docblock's explicit statement that returned #text is already decoded ('&amp; is returned as &', with the 'Fish &amp; Chips' -> 'Fish & Chips' example, lines 1820/1825-1828) directly produced correct behavior on entities-count-decoded; every explanation cited decoded-text correctly and none double-decoded. The token-walk example in tag-processor.md (lines 246-265) and html-processor.md (lines 622-628) gave both the loop shape and the '#text' === get_token_type() idiom verbatim, which all three reproduced. create_fragment's documented 'static|null' return drove trial-3's defensive null check.\n\nNear-miss in the explanations: trial-3's confidence (72) was LOWER than trials 1-2 (82) despite making the more robust, reference-matching choice. The docs do not give a crisp 'use this processor for text extraction' decision rule, so the subject that picked correctly was the least sure — a sign the guidance on processor selection is underspecified.\"",

+      "problem": "Neither intro gives a decision rule for choosing a processor when you only need to READ text/tokens (no attribute edits). The HTML Processor's listed advantages are framed around querying/modifying nested structure, and the Tag Processor's token-walk example sits under a generic heading, so a reader extracting plain text cannot tell that the Tag Processor's flat token stream omits HTML5 structural corrections (e.g. table foster-parenting) that relocate or drop text the HTML Processor would handle. This let two subjects pick the less spec-correct processor with no warning.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short 'Which processor for reading?' note: the Tag Processor walks raw lexical tokens in source order and does NOT apply HTML5 tree-construction rules (foster parenting, implied tags, mis-nesting repair), so for faithful in-<body> text/structure extraction prefer WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment; use the Tag Processor's raw token walk only when you specifically want unprocessed source order or are editing attributes.

Subjects inferred this correctly here, but only by luck of the corpus.",
+      "suggestion": "In get_token_type() (or the modifiable-text section), add one sentence with a concrete token-walk: e.g. for '<script>var x</script>' the loop reports one token with get_token_type()==='#tag' and get_token_name()==='SCRIPT' whose get_modifiable_text() is the script body — so filtering on '#text' naturally skips script/style content while still letting you read it by name when desired."

The whole T05 task hinges on counting decoded code points; subjects got it right but the doc doesn't connect decoding to length/measurement.",
+      "suggestion": "Append one clause to the decode paragraph: 'Because references are already decoded, measure or truncate the returned string by its decoded characters (e.g. mb_strlen/mb_substr in UTF-8); do not assume returned length matches the source byte span.'

Array-form next_tag and falsy `! $processor` guard are both documented/acceptable."

Misconception: the candidate believed depth/structure tracking is available on the lexical Tag Processor. It is not. `get_current_depth()` is documented ONLY in html-processor.md (section `get_current_depth()`, ~line 836) and on `next_token()` (~line 612, which says \"at every visited token, get_breadcrumbs and get_current_depth describe where in the document tree that token lives\"). The html-tag-processor.md method index (lines 351-385) lists next_token/get_token_type/get_modifiable_text but NOT get_current_depth or get_breadcrumbs. Responsible passage: the ABSENCE of any note in html-tag-processor.md stating that the Tag Processor has no document-tree/depth awareness and that depth-based element-boundary walking requires the HTML Processor. The Tag Processor's own next_token examples (lines 244-265) walk the whole document with a switch and never bound by an element, so a reader scaling that pattern up to \"text inside one element\" has no in-class signal that they must switch processors. The candidate even copied the HTML Processor's depth idiom onto the wrong class.\n\nTRIAL-3 — the `simple` case fails: expected text \"second link\", got \"second\". Misconception: that a nested child element's closing token reports a strictly greater depth than the enclosing target element's opener, so `> $depth_inside_a` suffices. Actually the `</em>` closer reports depth EQUAL to the A opener's depth (probe confirmed: A opener depth 4, `</em>` closer depth 4, the following ' '/'link' text nodes depth 5). Because the guard is in the `while` condition via `&&`, hitting the equal-depth closer short-circuits and ends the loop before the trailing sibling text is seen. The documentation gets this RIGHT and the candidate diverged from it: html-processor.md `next_token()` example (lines 620-636) uses `get_current_depth() >= $depth_inside_li` and explicitly explains \"The closers of nested elements (</strong>) report a depth no lower than the LI's contents, so the loop continues through them; it ends on the LI's own closer.\" The duplicate example under `get_current_depth()` (lines 882-885) also uses `>=`. The candidate's explanation claims to follow \"the exact pattern documented\" but changed `>=` to `>`. So this is a near-miss against correct docs, not a doc gap per se — though the docs could make the boundary reasoning impossible to get wrong (see doc_gaps). Trials 1 and 3 used `<`/`>=`-equivalent logic that the doc endorses where they followed it; only the operator swap and the wrong-class choice broke cases.\n\nThe `no-links` case passed everywhere (empty result regardless of walk). Trial-2 passed all 8 by following the documented HTML Processor walk verbatim, including the `>=`/`<`-break boundary and create_fragment null guard.",

Its only next_token examples walk the entire document with a switch, giving no signal that bounding a walk to one element's subtree is impossible here. A reader who needs 'the text inside element X' will reach for a depth/breadcrumb guard, find get_current_depth documented elsewhere, and call it on the Tag Processor — a guaranteed fatal (trial-1, 7/8 cases).",
+      "suggestion": "Add an explicit capability note near the Tag Processor's next_token section: the Tag Processor performs a purely lexical scan and does NOT track nesting depth or breadcrumbs, so it cannot tell when a walk has left a given element. To collect or rewrite the content of a specific element (text inside an anchor, list item, etc.), use WP_HTML_Processor with get_current_depth()/get_breadcrumbs().

The note explains the closer behavior in prose but doesn't isolate the operator choice as the thing that must not be changed, and a reader can plausibly 'simplify' `>=` to `>` without realizing it breaks nested cases.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short caution beside the example: the comparison MUST be `>=` (or, if breaking, `< depth`). Using strict `>` ends the walk at the first nested element's closer — which reports the same depth as the target's opener — silently dropping any text that follows that nested element. Optionally show a one-line nested-children example (e.g. text before and after an inner <em>) with the depths annotated so the equal-depth closer is visible, since the existing example's inner <strong> happens to have no trailing sibling text and so wouldn't expose a `>` bug."

+      "location": "Shared concept note referenced from both get_current_depth() and is_tag_closer() (html-processor.md)",

This is stated under is_tag_closer() (~line 680) and get_current_depth() (~line 844) but not connected to the walking idiom where it actually bites. The reader assembling a bounded walk has to cross-reference three sections to derive the correct operator.",
+      "suggestion": "In the get_current_depth() walking example, state the invariant inline: an element's opener and its own closer differ by one in depth, and a nested element's closer lands back AT the parent's content depth (== the target opener depth). Therefore a contents walk that should include all of the target's descendants must continue while depth >= the target-opener depth, ending only on the target's own closer."

Edge handling: guards the null return of create_fragment and returns input unchanged; passes the implicitly-closed-paragraphs and nested-blockquotes cases that probe HTML5 parsing semantics (14/15). Minor: unlike the reference it does not array_slice off the matched node before the in_array check, so the breadcrumb array still contains the P tail element.

The task is a near-canonical match for the documented WP_HTML_Processor breadcrumb pattern, so the docs did well here.\n\nWhat the docs did well: (1) The breadcrumbs section (html-processor.md lines 48-72) plus get_breadcrumbs() (lines 809-835) make it unambiguous that breadcrumbs are the full root-to-node ancestor stack and that get_breadcrumbs() returns uppercase tag names — this directly enabled the in_array('BLOCKQUOTE', ...) ancestry test and is why deep-ancestor and mixed-document (BLOCKQUOTE several levels up) passed. (2) The Overview's stated purpose \\\"Querying based on nested HTML structure\\\" (line 15) steered all three subjects to the HTML Processor rather than the Tag Processor, which cannot relate a tag to its ancestors. (3) The example at next_token (line 640) literally shows the in_array(..., get_breadcrumbs(), true) idiom, which all three reproduced. (4) The implicitly-closed-paragraphs case (<blockquote><p>first<p>second</blockquote> → both P's get the class) is exactly the kind of HTML5 optional-tag-omission handling promised in the HTML Support section (line 95, \\\"HTML with optional tags omitted, e.g. <p>one<p>two\\\"); subjects did not have to do anything special because the parser models the implicit close, and the docs set that expectation. (5) add_class preserving existing classes/order (existing-class-preserved: 'lead' → 'lead quoted') is covered by the Modifying CSS classes section (html-tag-processor.md lines 176-209).\n\nNear-misses worth noting in the explanations and code: All three subjects checked in_array on the entire breadcrumb array including the matched P itself, rather than slicing off the tail node as the reference does (array_slice(..., 0, -1)). This is correct only because a P element's own name can never equal 'BLOCKQUOTE'; the subjects did not articulate this reasoning, suggesting they got the right answer partly by luck of the data. The docs never state whether get_breadcrumbs() includes the matched node itself — the example at line 825 shows array('HTML','BODY','P','STRONG','EM','IMG') for a matched IMG, which DOES include the matched node at the tail, but no prose makes the \\\"self is the last element\\\" rule explicit, nor warns that an ancestor-only test must exclude the tail. A task where the queried tag name could also be an ancestor (e.g. \\\"mark every DIV that has a DIV ancestor\\\") would have broken all three implementations, and the docs would not have prevented it.",

Code that tests for an ANCESTOR by membership (in_array) can therefore false-positive when the matched tag's own name could appear as an ancestor name (e.g. a DIV inside a DIV). All three subjects checked the full array including the matched node and only passed because P can never be named BLOCKQUOTE.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence: \"The matched node itself is always the final element of the returned array; its ancestors are everything before it.\" Then add a short note: to test for a proper ancestor (not self), exclude the last element, e.g. in_array($name, array_slice($processor->get_breadcrumbs(), 0, -1), true)."

The closest is buried in the next_token example (line 640) as a loop guard, not presented as an ancestry check. Subjects had to transfer that idiom from an unrelated context.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a brief example under get_breadcrumbs() showing an ancestor test, e.g.: $processor->next_tag('IMG'); $has_figure_ancestor = in_array('FIGURE', $processor->get_breadcrumbs(), true); and contrast it with matches_breadcrumbs(), which only matches a contiguous tail path, not an arbitrary ancestor."

No prose distinguishes 'direct path tail match' from 'ancestor anywhere'.",

For a #text token the breadcrumbs array ENDS with '#text' (the node itself), so the test is never true and no cell text is ever accumulated -> 7/8 cases return empty strings. The docs' own next_token example demonstrated the correct idiom (in_array('LI', get_breadcrumbs())) which would have worked; the author reached for end() instead. Idiomatic structure otherwise (depth-bounded loop, row flushing on TR open + final flush) is reasonable. Low self-confidence (35) was warranted."

Matches the documented walking pattern closely. Only blemish is the same untested near-miss: `! empty($current_row)` would drop an empty row, and accumulating into $cell_text only while $inside_cell correctly yields '' for empty cells (passes empty-cells). Self-confidence 75."

+  "failure_analysis": "Eight hidden cases x 3 trials. Trials 1 and 3 passed all 8. Trial 2 failed 7 of 8 (only no-table passed) with a single root cause.\n\nTRIAL 2 FAILURES (simple, thead-tbody, omitted-closers, markup-in-cells, entities-in-cells, first-table-only, empty-cells): all return cells of empty strings instead of text. Root cause is one misconception about get_breadcrumbs() semantics for non-tag tokens. The code accumulates cell text only when `end($processor->get_breadcrumbs())` equals 'TD' or 'TH'. I verified with a probe: when matched on a #text node inside a TH, get_breadcrumbs() returns array('HTML','BODY','TABLE','TBODY','TR','TH','#text') -- the matched node's OWN name ('#text') is the last element, not its parent element. So end() returns '#text', the TD/TH check never fires, and no text is ever appended. The empty cells are still created (on the TD/TH opener branch), which is why structure is correct but every value is ''.\n\nResponsible documentation: the get_breadcrumbs() method heading in html-processor.md. Its description says 'Breadcrumbs start at the outermost parent and descend toward the matched element' and its only example calls next_tag('IMG') and shows the chain ending in 'IMG' -- i.e. every illustration is taken on a TAG token, where the last breadcrumb coincidentally equals the element the reader cares about. The doc never states what the last breadcrumb is when matched on a #text token (or a comment/doctype): namely the token's own node-name, NOT the containing element. A reader who only saw the tag example will reasonably (and wrongly) assume end(breadcrumbs) of a text node is the enclosing cell. The next_token() heading does model the correct idiom -- `in_array('LI', $processor->get_breadcrumbs(), true)` -- and I confirmed in_array('TD'|'TH', ...) works for the text node where end() fails, but that contrast is never made explicit, so the lesson is easy to miss.\n\nA secondary, non-failing observation: both passing trials guard final/row appends with `! empty(...)` on the row array, which would silently drop a structurally-empty row (`<tr></tr>`). No hidden case exercises an empty row, so this latent divergence from the reference (which appends rows on the TR closer regardless) went unpenalized functionally; it is a near-miss the docs could help avoid by clarifying that next_token visits a closer for every opener including empty elements.\n\nThe docs did several things well that the passing trials leveraged directly: the get_current_depth() heading's detailed treatment of the >= walk and the 'closer reports depth-1' rule was used correctly by trials 1 and 3 to bound traversal to the table; the next_token() note that 'An element's text content may be split across several consecutive #text tokens: accumulate' justified the accumulate-into-string approach; and the get_modifiable_text 'Fish & Chips' decoding example (html-tag-processor.md) made the entities-in-cells case trivial. The HTML-Support section's explicit mention that the processor handles 'well-formed tables ... and markup inside cells' and 'HTML with optional tags omitted' gave subjects confidence to rely on implicit TBODY insertion and omitted </td>/</tr>, which is why thead-tbody and omitted-closers passed without special handling.",

The doc never states what the final breadcrumb is when matched on a non-tag token. In fact for a #text node the breadcrumbs END with '#text' (the node's own name), and for comments/doctype likewise. This caused trial 2 to use end($breadcrumbs) === 'TD' to detect being inside a cell, which is never true for the text node, yielding all-empty output.",

Slight deduction vs trial-1: the null branch is unreachable for the tests and mixing create_fragment-failure with normalize is semantically odd (if create_fragment fails, normalize on the same input would generally also fail/return null), but it is a documented call used with correct typing, so no API-misuse penalty — only a small idiomatic-coherence ding."

The one weakness: on create_fragment===null it returns $html unchanged (raw, un-normalized). The task requires normalized output even in the failure path conceptually, and the docs (normalize section, lines 903-953) offer a documented way to normalize a fragment without an instance. Returning raw $html would violate the normalization contract if a real unsupported-input case existed. Untested here so no functional hit, but it is the least graceful of the three null-handling choices, hence below trial-1."

All three converged on essentially the reference implementation: walk tokens with next_token(), gate on get_token_type()==='#text', test get_modifiable_text() for the keyword (strpos/str_contains, case-sensitive), and wrap the serialize_token() output in <mark>...</mark>, passing all other tokens through serialize_token() unchanged.\\n\\nWhat the docs did well: The serialize_token() section in html-processor.md (lines 1005-1031) is the load-bearing passage and it is excellent. It states explicitly that 'Walking every token with next_token and concatenating serialize_token() for each one reconstructs the normalized serialization of the input' and that the token-by-token form exists so a rewriting loop can 'emit extra markup around them to insert wrappers.' This is precisely the operation the task demands, and all three subjects executed it verbatim. It also warns that closing tokens of skipped elements must be skipped too — not needed here, but it primed correct mental models. The normalization guarantee (optional tags closed, attributes double-quoted, & re-encoded) is conveyed both in the task and reinforced by serialize/normalize docs, which is why the normalization-side-effects case passed cleanly.\\n\\nNear-misses worth flagging despite the clean sweep: (1) The decoded-text dependency. The entity-encoded case (w&#111;rld -> 'world peace') only passes because get_modifiable_text() returns DECODED text. The Tag Processor's get_modifiable_text() docblock (html-tag-processor.md lines 1814-1831) states this explicitly with the 'Fish & Chips' example. But the HTML Processor's override (html-processor.md lines 2057-2075), which is the section most relevant to this task's chosen processor, OMITS the decoding paragraph and example entirely — it only notes 'Subclassed for the HTML Processor.' A subject reading only the Processor doc would not learn that text is decoded; the trials succeeded because the task description itself said 'decoded text,' not because the Processor docblock taught it. Confirmed by probe: get_modifiable_text() on '<p>w&#111;rld peace</p>' returns 'world peace'. (2) Divergent null-handling of create_fragment failure (trial-1 '', trial-2 normalize($html)??'', trial-3 raw $html) shows the docs do not give clear guidance on what to return when a fragment cannot be parsed / is unsupported; this path was untested so no failures, but it is undocumented guesswork.",

Subjects got this right partly from the get_token_type example and partly from the task wording.

The set_bookmark docblock explicitly warns against this ('should not be created with programmatically-made names, such as li_{$index}'; 'create only bookmarks of known string literal names') and documents the simpler supported idiom of re-setting one literal name to track 'the last X seen so far.' It works only because each name is released before the next is set, so the bookmark limit is never hit, but it is the exact anti-pattern the docs caution against and adds needless churn.

Correct processor choice; all methods documented; passes all 6 cases. Minor non-ideal touches keep it from 100: the `is_tag_closer()` continue-guard is dead code because next_tag() defaults to tag_closers=>'skip' and never stops on a closer (verified: next_tag('H2') yields only openers), and the post-loop `has_bookmark()` check is redundant since the bookmark is known to exist whenever $last_h2_bookmark is set.

Like trial-2 it includes the dead `is_tag_closer()` guard (next_tag defaults to skipping closers).

The docs supported this task well. Three things in the docs did the heavy lifting: (1) the set_bookmark docblock explicitly names the 'remember the last X seen so far' idiom and shows re-setting one literal name in a loop (the last-li example), which trials 2 and 3 followed directly; (2) the next_tag() 'What this matches' section states that tag-like text inside comments is text and is never matched, so every trial correctly handled comment-h2-not-counted without special code; (3) the add_class examples show appending to an existing class, covering the existing-class case for free. Near-misses in the candidate reasoning, all of which the docs could have prevented: (a) Trial 1's explanation justifies per-iteration uniqid() bookmark names, the precise programmatic-naming anti-pattern the set_bookmark docblock warns against; the warning is present but buried near the end of a long docblock and is not connected in-place to the 'remember the last X' idiom that makes unique names unnecessary. (b) Trials 2 and 3 both added is_tag_closer() guards that never fire, because the fact that next_tag() defaults to skipping closers (tag_closers default 'skip') is documented only inside the dense inline @type blob of the next_tag() $query parameter and is easy to overlook; the prose 'Finding tags' section never states it plainly. (c) Trial 2 added a redundant has_bookmark() check, indicating uncertainty about whether a just-set bookmark reliably exists.

This is a clean documentation win, so the analysis covers what the docs did right and the near-misses.\n\nWhat the docs enabled:\n1. Discoverability of the right tool. The class table (L154-155) advertises normalize() ('Normalizes an HTML fragment by serializing it') and serialize() with one-line summaries, and the 'HTML Support' section (L74-99) frames the whole class as a structural/DOM-faithful parser. Every subject converged on WP_HTML_Processor rather than the Tag Processor (which has no normalize/serialize-whole-document story). Correct processor choice was essentially handed to them.\n2. The hardest hidden case (misnesting-unsupported-false) is pre-solved in prose. L88-89 gives the literal input class '<b>one<i>two</b>three</i>' as an UNSUPPORTED mis-nested-formatting construct that makes the processor abort, and L82 + the Returns rows (L953, L1003) state output methods return null on abort. A subject who simply maps 'null -> return false' (as the spec's line 17 instructs) gets this case for free. All three did exactly that.\n3. The 'equivalent character references' requirement (entity-spellings-equal: &amp; vs &AMP;) is covered by the normalization bullet 'Text will be re-encoded' (L924/L977) plus the worked example at L937-938 showing entity/character re-encoding. Subjects didn't need to reason about case-insensitive entity names; normalization collapses them.\n4. tag-case-equal, implied-closers-equal, and whitespace-in-tag-equal are each directly backed by the normalization bullet list (L916-922: double-quoting, omitted-tags-added, lower-casing) and the worked examples.\n\nNear-misses / luck rather than understanding:\n- attribute-order-differs (expected false) is NOT explicitly addressed anywhere in the normalization bullet list. The docs say values get double-quoted, duplicates removed, names lower-cased — but say nothing about whether attribute ORDER is preserved or canonicalized. Every subject got this right only because === over the serialized strings happens to be order-sensitive and (verified by probe) normalize() preserves source attribute order. Had normalize() canonically sorted attributes, the same code would return true and fail this case, and no subject reasoned about it. This is the one spot where success was structural rather than informed.\n- Trial-3's reliance on serialize() requiring an un-scanned processor (L963) was satisfied incidentally — the subject never advanced the processor — but the explanation doesn't show awareness of that precondition. A subject who interleaved a next_tag() probe before serialize() would have silently gotten null and a false negative.\n\nNet: docs were strong enough that three lower-capability models all produced correct, idiomatic solutions; the residual risks are the undocumented attribute-order behavior and the implicit 'must not have scanned' precondition for serialize().",

To serialize, use a freshly created processor, or call the static normalize() which always starts fresh.'

If either processor creation or serialization fails (returns null), the function returns false. Finally, it compares the two normalized strings for equality. This approach handles all the requirements: differences in quoting, casing, and implied tags are normalized away, while differences in structure, attributes, or content produce different normalized outputs.",

Only deduction: no null-check on create_fragment(), so it would fatal if the parser bailed (the task example and other trials guard this).

It states that walking every token with next_token() and concatenating serialize_token() 'reconstructs the normalized serialization of the input', and gives a worked loop that skips SUP tags and concatenates the rest — structurally identical to unwrapping spans. Critically it includes the line 'Closing tokens of skipped elements must be skipped too', which is the one non-obvious trap here; all three subjects handled it correctly (a single get_tag()==='SPAN' continue skips both opener and closer, since both report 'SPAN'). The get_tag() docblock (lines ~1703-1731) documenting the string|null return — null when no tag is matched — is what makes it safe for trials 1 and 3 to drop the get_token_type() check entirely; text and comment tokens return null and never equal 'SPAN'. The normalization guarantee in the task (entities re-encoded, optional tags closed, attributes quoted) is delivered automatically by serialize_token() and is described in both normalize()/serialize() docs.\n\nNear-miss in the explanations: trial-2's choice to return $html (raw, un-normalized) on a null processor contradicts the task's 'always normalized output' contract; it passed only because no input fails to parse. The docs for create_fragment() (lines ~346-375) document the static|null return type but never describe WHEN null occurs or what a caller should return as a fallback, leaving each subject to guess (''/$html/fatal).

All other tokens are serialized using `serialize_token()`, which produces normalized HTML. This approach preserves the contents of removed SPAN elements while discarding their attributes and tags, and the serialization automatically normalizes the output with proper quoting, case handling, and encoding as documented in the WP_HTML_Processor::normalize() method.",

Subject: [PATCH 026/193] HTML API docs round 7 hypotheses: RCDATA text
 location on the HTML Processor, >= beside the operator, drain idiom,
 add_class return semantics.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Round-6 train gaps: the HTML Processor's own get_modifiable_text()
override never stated decoding or that SCRIPT/STYLE/TEXTAREA/TITLE
carry their text on the element token (no #text child) — stated now
with a verified full-parser TITLE example; the >= rule now sits beside
the operator in the get_current_depth() example with the
nested-closer/sibling-text explanation inline; the
paused_at_incomplete_token() example gains the drain-all-tokens idiom
its single-tag example obscured; add_class() return documented as
enqueued-not-applied (false only with no matched tag, verified).

+N05 remains the only weak task (60.6): two trials still walked TITLE
+looking for #text children. Its root cause is covered by a TRAIN gap
+(T08 flagged that the HTML Processor's get_modifiable_text() override
+documents neither decoding nor where RCDATA text lives) — so the fix is
+train-driven, as the protocol requires.

+Round-7 hypotheses (committed): RCDATA/raw-text contents live on the
+element token, with a verified full-parser TITLE example, plus the
+decoding statement, on the HTML Processor override; the >= rule beside
+the operator with the nested-closer/sibling-text note inline; the
+drain-all-tokens idiom on paused_at_incomplete_token(); add_class()
+return = enqueued-not-applied.

Edge cases all handled (decoded entities via Q&amp;A, empty text for image-only heading, unclosed heading). Minor: relies on the next_tag()-outer / next_token()-inner interleaving (the inner loop consumes the heading's closer, then the outer next_tag() resumes) which is correct but more fragile than the reference's single-loop state machine; the defensive `! $tag` check is dead code since next_tag() guarantees a tag.

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed all 7 cases (simple, all-levels, entities, nested-in-sections, none, unclosed-heading, image-only-heading). This round is a documentation success, and the win is directly traceable to two doc passages.\\n\\n1) get_current_depth() (html-processor.md, lines 842-907) is the load-bearing section. It does three things that prevented the hard failures: (a) states closers report a depth one less than their opener (N-1), which is what lets every trial detect the end of a heading; (b) supplies a near-complete copy-ready idiom — the 'Visit every token inside the first UL element' example with `while ($processor->next_token() && $processor->get_current_depth() >= $depth_inside_ul)`; and (c) explicitly warns that writing `>` instead of `>=` ends the walk early at the first child closer. All three candidates reproduced this guard and thereby got nested-in-sections (a heading whose subtree contains nested sections) and unclosed-heading correct, where the closer is synthesized by the parser. Trials 2/3 used the `>=`/`<=` forms exactly; none made the `>` mistake the doc warns against.\\n\\n2) get_modifiable_text() (html-tag-processor.md, lines 1816-1852) carried the entities case. The line 'character references have been replaced by the characters they represent — &amp; is returned as &. Do not decode the returned string again,' plus the 'Fish & Chips' example, told subjects to concatenate token text without re-decoding. Every trial's explanation cited this, and Q&amp;A -> 'Q&A' passed with no double-decoding.\\n\\n3) The image-only-heading case (text === '') was handled implicitly because get_modifiable_text() is documented (line 1826) to return an empty string for tokens with no modifiable text, and the IMG produces no #text token, so the accumulator stayed empty. No candidate special-cased it; the doc's empty-string contract made the naive accumulation correct.\\n\\n4) get_tag() (lines 1556-1581, 'Returns the uppercase name of the matched tag', example 'DIV') and get_token_type() (lines 1670-1702, value '#tag'/'#text') prevented case-sensitivity and token-classification mistakes. Trial-3 still added a redundant `/i` regex flag, a near-miss showing the uppercase guarantee could be stated more emphatically, but it caused no failure.\\n\\nNear-miss in approach (not penalized as a failure since tests passed): trials 1 and 2 nest a next_token() walk inside a next_tag() outer loop. This works only because the inner loop consumes the heading's own closer and the outer next_tag() then resumes past it. The docs do not explicitly describe this interleaving of next_tag() and next_token() on the same processor, so the subjects got it right by intuition rather than by documented guidance — a latent gap that could bite a harder task (e.g., one needing to re-find tags after a partial inner walk).",

The docs never describe how next_tag() and next_token() interleave on the same cursor — that they share one advancing position and that consuming tokens with one affects where the other resumes. This worked by luck here and is a latent footgun for tasks that re-find tags after a partial inner walk.",
+      "suggestion": "In both next_tag() and next_token(), add a sentence stating they advance the same single cursor, and that mixing them is supported: after walking children with next_token(), the next next_tag() resumes from wherever the cursor stopped.

They inferred it correctly, but the doc gives no pointer.",

All three trials passed all 7 cases, including the discriminating ones: only-class-removes-attribute (whole class attribute removed, leftover space preserved), case-sensitive-not-removed (EXTERNAL left intact), and non-link-untouched (div skipped via tag_name filter). The docs supported this well: next_tag's query table (lines 55-61) and parse_query docblock (line 952) clearly document the array('tag_name'=>..., 'class_name'=>...) forms and string shorthand, so subjects correctly scoped edits to A tags; the 'minimize the difference' paragraph (line 328) explicitly promises whitespace/ordering preservation and notes attribute updates, which underwrites the only-class-removes-attribute and middle-of-list expectations; and get_updated_html (line 2279) documents that untouched bytes are returned verbatim, supporting no-class-untouched and non-link-untouched.\\n\\nNear-miss / latent risk that did NOT bite but easily could: the case-sensitive-not-removed case. The task demands case-SENSITIVE class matching, and the actual remove_class('external') is case-sensitive (probe confirmed it leaves class=\\\"EXTERNAL\\\" untouched). But the remove_class docblock (lines 2237-2257) says nothing about case at all, while the sibling has_class (line 1074) is explicitly documented as ASCII case-INSENSITIVE, and next_tag's class_name matching is also ASCII case-insensitive. A subject reasoning from the documented methods would reasonably fear remove_class is case-insensitive too and would then WRONGLY strip EXTERNAL — or, in trial-3's case, defensively route around remove_class with a class_list exact-match guard. Trials 1 and 2 trusted remove_class's (undocumented) case-sensitivity and happened to be right; trial 3's hedging is direct evidence the docs left this ambiguous.

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed 8/8 with zero _doing_it_wrong records. The docs were sufficient for this task, and the subjects converged on essentially the same correct solution. What the docs did well: (1) The 'Which processor should I use?' section in html-tag-processor.md and the HTML-Processor Overview both steer 'is this element inside that one' / containment work to WP_HTML_Processor — every trial picked the right class without hesitation. (2) The Breadcrumbs section and get_breadcrumbs() example (`array('HTML','BODY','P','STRONG','EM','IMG')`) made it obvious that breadcrumbs are uppercase, root-to-node, and include the matched element itself, which is exactly what an `in_array('FIGURE', ...)` ancestor check needs; it also explicitly notes the implicit HTML/BODY prefix, which trial-3 echoed. (3) get_attribute()'s documented contract — string|true|null, with the explicit note that boolean attributes return `true`, null means absent, and '' means present-but-empty — drove correct src filtering in all three (trial-1 via is_string, trials 2/3 via explicit null/true/'' checks). (4) The decoded-value note on get_attribute ('href=\\\"/x?a=1&amp;b=2\\\" is returned as /x?a=1&b=2; do not decode again') directly explains why entity-decoded-src passed without any manual html_entity_decode call. (5) The HTML Processor's structural awareness handled the unclosed-figure case for free: a stray <p> does not pop the open FIGURE, so later.jpg still reports FIGURE in its breadcrumbs — this is implicitly covered by the 'implied and virtual closing tags' / 'handling implied or missing closing tags the way a browser would' framing, though no example spells out the unclosed-ancestor-still-counts behavior. Near-misses in approach (not failures): all three inspect the FULL breadcrumb array rather than slicing off the matched element as the reference does. The docs never demonstrate the ancestors-only idiom, so subjects wrote the looser containment check; it is correct here only because the sought ancestor (FIGURE) can never equal the matched tag (IMG). None of the subjects discovered or used the documented `'breadcrumbs'` query option of next_tag — appropriately, since that option does a fixed child-chain match and (absent a `*` wildcard) cannot express 'FIGURE at any depth', so the manual breadcrumb-inspection they used is the genuinely correct general technique; the docs could make that distinction clearer.",

Every subject wrote `in_array('FIGURE', get_breadcrumbs())` over the full array, which also matches when FIGURE IS the current element — a latent bug the reference avoids by slicing off the last entry (array_slice($crumbs,0,-1)). The docs give no guidance on ancestor-only containment.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short note/example under get_breadcrumbs() that the last element of the returned array is the matched node itself, so an ancestor-containment test should examine all-but-the-last entry (e.g. `array_slice($crumbs, 0, -1)`) when the ancestor name could coincide with the current tag name.

There is no '**' (any number of elements) support and no example contrasting 'direct chain' vs 'any depth'. A subject wanting 'IMG anywhere inside FIGURE' could wrongly reach for `array('FIGURE','IMG')`, which only matches FIGURE>IMG as a direct child chain from the query's start.",
+      "suggestion": "In the next_tag breadcrumbs docs (and matches_breadcrumbs), explicitly state that the breadcrumbs query matches a contiguous descent chain (each entry is the parent of the next), `*` matches exactly one level, and there is no any-depth wildcard.

This generalizes the 'parses real-world/malformed HTML like a browser' claim into something actionable for containment checks."

The flaw is navigation idiom: a single `next_tag()` call instead of a loop.

For `<p>fine</p><img src=\"a.jpg` it matches `<p>` and never advances to the truncated `<img` tail, so the processor is not paused and the function returns false (verified by probe: single next_tag=false vs loop=true). It only works when no complete tag precedes the truncation, which is why 8/9 pass and only `cut-after-complete-content` fails. Deductions: token-walking idiom not followed (the documented pattern is to scan to end-of-document), and the edge case of a truncated token AFTER complete content is mishandled. Processor choice and no-hallucination dimensions are full; idiomatic-use and edge-case dimensions are docked."

Trials 1 and 2 passed everything.\n\nMisconception (trial-3): the candidate believed a single `$processor->next_tag()` call scans/consumes the entire document and leaves the processor paused if the tail is incomplete (its inline comment: 'this will consume the document and pause if incomplete'). In reality `next_tag()` stops and returns true at the FIRST tag that matches. Here it matches the complete `<p>` opener and returns immediately; the cursor never reaches the truncated `<img src=\\\"a.jpg` at the end, so `paused_at_incomplete_token()` is false. Probe confirms: single next_tag → false; loop (next_tag or next_token) → true. The function therefore only detects truncation when NO complete tag precedes it — exactly why the other eight cases (where the incomplete token is at or near the start, or the document is fully complete) pass.\n\nDocumentation responsibility: the `paused_at_incomplete_token()` method heading shows its single example as `$processor = new WP_HTML_Tag_Processor( '<input type=\\\"text\\\" value=\\\"Th' ); false === $processor->next_tag();` — a document whose ONLY tag is the incomplete one, so a single `next_tag()` both returns false and leaves the processor paused. This example silently teaches the wrong mental model: it conflates 'next_tag returned false' with 'reached the incomplete tail.' Likewise, the 'When matching fails' section in the Tag Processor overview frames pausing entirely around `next_tag()` returning false and never shows a document where a complete token precedes the incomplete tail. Nothing in either the `next_tag()` docs or the `paused_at_incomplete_token()` docs states that you must drain the document to the end (loop until next_token/next_tag returns false) before the pause flag is meaningful. The two passing trials arrived at the loop independently via the token-walking examples elsewhere in the docs ('Tokens and finer-grained processing'), not because the incomplete-token docs directed them there.\n\nWhat the docs did well: the 'Special self-contained elements' / 'When matching fails' sections correctly told all three trials that an unclosed SCRIPT counts as an incomplete token (unterminated-script passed everywhere), and the 'garbage-in' / lexical framing led every trial to treat `<div>text` and a lone trailing `<` as complete (unclosed-element-is-complete and trailing-lt-is-text passed everywhere).

Three passages did the heavy lifting: (1) the `normalize()` method heading (html-processor.md L909-959) states it \"Normalizes an HTML fragment by serializing it\" and returns \"Normalized output, or `null` if unable to normalize\" -- this directly maps the task's true/false to a non-null/null check; (2) the class-level \"HTML Support\" section (L83-92) explains that the HTML Processor aborts on unsupported markup and names the exact failing construct from the task -- mis-nested formatting elements like `<b>one<i>two</b>three</i>` whose reconstruction needs advance-and-rewind -- while clarifying that single-pass misnesting, unclosed tags, implied closers, and well-formed tables all succeed; this matches the task's true/false split case-for-case; (3) L84 ties it together: \"methods which produce output (such as `serialize()` and `normalize()`) return `null`\" when the processor bails. That single sentence is what let trials 2 and 3 confidently treat `serialize() === null` as the failure signal. Trials 2/3 chose the longer `create_fragment()`+`serialize()` path; the docs explicitly bless this as equivalent in the normalize() docblock (\"For normalizing full documents or fragments found in other contexts, create a new processor using create_fragment ... and call serialize\"), and they avoided the one documented foot-gun -- serialize() returning null after scanning has begun (L969) -- by never calling next_token()/next_tag(). Near-misses in the explanations: trial-2 and trial-3 both reported lower confidence (78 vs trial-1's 92), reflecting genuine uncertainty about whether the two-step path was correct; the docs could make the single-call helper more discoverable as THE answer so subjects don't expend reasoning re-deriving it. No subject mishandled the empty-string or entities edge cases, both of which normalize to true. The internal E_USER_NOTICE emitted by serialize()/normalize() on the adoption-agency input is undocumented but harmless here -- it did not cause any failure and fires for the reference solution as well.",

Trials 1 and 3 each failed the same 5 cases (standard-document, entities-decoded, no-doctype, attributes-on-elements, minimal-document) and passed no-title-null and empty-title only by accident.\n\nRoot misconception (trials 1 and 3, identical): they treated <title> as an ordinary container whose text lives in a child #text node, terminated by a separately-visited </title> closer. In reality TITLE is an atomic / 'special self-contained' element in BOTH processors: the opening-through-closing sequence is ONE token, and the inner plaintext (with character references decoded) is that token's OWN modifiable text. Probe confirms: on '<...><title>My Site &mdash; Home</title>...', the Tag Processor emits a single token name='TITLE' type='#tag' get_modifiable_text()='My Site — Home', and the HTML Processor's next_tag('title') lands directly on that token with the same modifiable text. There is no child #text token inside TITLE and no separately-matchable </title>. So both trials walked PAST the answer, accumulated the body's #text ('x' for the standard doc, 'body content' for the minimal doc) and never hit a TITLE closer; when the body carried no text they returned ''. empty-title and no-title 'passed' coincidentally (empty body text / no title found at all), masking the defect.\n\nDocumentation responsible: the facts needed were all present but spread across three passages and never tied to the read pattern. (1) Tag Processor 'Special \\\"atomic\\\" HTML elements' (lines 277-293) and 'Special self-contained elements' (lines 121-141) state TITLE contents are that element's modifiable text and that the processor 'treats the entire sequence as one, from the opening tag... through its closing tag' and 'it's not possible to match the closing tag.' (2) The Tag Processor next_token() example (lines 257-272) demonstrates the correct idiom — `case 'TITLE': $title = $processor->get_modifiable_text();` — which trial-2 followed and the others did not. (3) get_modifiable_text() (line 1824) lists TEXTAREA/TITLE as carrying their own decoded contents.\n\nWhat pulled trials 1/3 the wrong way: the HTML Processor's next_token() docblock (lines 614-647) and its example teach the OPPOSITE pattern for the general case — 'An element's text content may be split across several consecutive #text tokens: accumulate text while walking' — with a worked LI/#text/depth-guard example. And 'Which processor should I use?' (line 24) lists 'collecting an element's text content' as an HTML-Processor job. Subjects generalized that accumulate-child-#text pattern to TITLE, where it is exactly wrong because TITLE has no child text tokens. Neither processor's get_modifiable_text() docblock nor the next_token examples warn that for atomic/RCDATA elements you must NOT walk for children — the text is on the element token itself, and walking past it silently captures unrelated text.\n\nTrial-2's explanation is essentially correct ('the entire sequence including contents is treated as one token, with the text content accessible via get_modifiable_text()'). The only near-miss in its reasoning: it says 'returns empty string as required' for empty TITLE without noting WHY (an empty atomic element's modifiable text is '' and is distinguishable from a missing element by the loop never matching a 'TITLE' token) — but the code is correct.",

Subjects who knew the abstract fact still walked for a child #text.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a one-line note plus a contrasting example: 'For atomic/RCDATA elements (SCRIPT, STYLE, TITLE, TEXTAREA, IFRAME, ...) the element token itself carries the contents — read get_modifiable_text() while matched ON the element; do NOT advance looking for a child #text token, as none exists.'

Subjects generalized the LI example to TITLE and produced wrong results in both processors.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a caveat to the text-collection example: 'This accumulate-while-walking pattern applies to ordinary container elements. Atomic/RCDATA elements (TITLE, TEXTAREA, SCRIPT, STYLE) carry their text directly on the element token — call get_modifiable_text() when next_tag()/next_token() first lands on them and do not walk into them.'

The guidance over-directs simple cases to the heavier processor and implies a subtree-walk is needed.",
+      "suggestion": "Qualify the bullet: text collection from atomic/RCDATA elements (TITLE, TEXTAREA, SCRIPT, STYLE) is one get_modifiable_text() call in EITHER processor; the HTML Processor is needed specifically for collecting text spread across multiple child #text tokens of ordinary containers, or when nesting/structure matters."

+      "suggestion": "Cross-link the two sections and add an explicit retrieval sentence and snippet: e.g. `$p->next_tag('TITLE'); $title = $p->get_modifiable_text();` with a note that next_token() will NOT yield a child #text node nor a matchable TITLE closer for these elements."

+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed 7/7. The interesting finding is a shared near-miss in the candidates' mental model that the test suite did not punish because it is self-correcting.\n\nWhat the docs did well: The task hinges on two browser-parsing facts — (1) <image> in the HTML namespace is reparsed as an IMG element, and (2) <img> placed inside <svg> breaks out of foreign content back into HTML. WP_HTML_Processor handles both automatically, and the docs steer subjects to the right processor. get_tag()'s note (html-processor.md:1717: 'certain tags be reprocessed with a different tag name... the tag name presented by the HTML Processor may differ from the one reported by the HTML Tag Processor') is exactly the passage that explains why next_tag('IMG') matches <image>-becomes-IMG, and create_fragment's namespace example region documents foreign content. get_attribute()'s null/true/'' semantics (html-processor.md:1819-1838 and html-tag-processor.md:89-90) let every subject correctly skip missing/empty src. get_namespace()'s Returns block (html-processor.md:1705-1707: 'One of html, math, or svg') gave subjects the exact string literals they compared against.\n\nThe shared misconception: all three subjects added a get_namespace() guard to exclude SVG <image>, believing next_tag('IMG') would match the SVG <image> element and require filtering. Probing proves this is false: the SVG <image> is reported as tag IMAGE in the svg namespace and is never renamed to IMG, so next_tag('IMG') never matches it; get_namespace() returns 'html' at every single match and the guard never fires. The svg-image-excluded, mixed-document, and no-images cases pass because of the renaming/namespace rule inside the parser, NOT because of the candidates' guard. The reference solution omits the guard entirely and is correct. The guard is dead but harmless defensive code.\n\nThe responsible documentation absence: nothing in the two files states that the <image>-to-IMG renaming is HTML-namespace-only — i.e., that an <image> inside <svg> stays an SVG 'image'/'IMAGE' element and is therefore already invisible to next_tag('IMG'). get_tag()'s renaming note (line 1717) describes reprocessing generically without scoping it to the HTML namespace, and get_namespace() never connects to tag-name matching. A subject reasoning from the docs cannot tell whether next_tag('IMG') will or won't surface SVG <image>, so they hedge with a namespace check. The hedge happened to be safe here; with a different query or a more precise expectation it could mask a real bug. No failure resulted, but the docs left subjects guessing about the precise interaction between namespace and tag-name matching.\n\nSecondary near-miss: the task asks for 'decoded' src values. get_attribute() does decode character references (probed: src='a&amp;b.jpg' yields 'a&b.jpg'), and subjects relied on this correctly, but the docs never explicitly state that get_attribute() returns decoded values — the example only demonstrates null/true/'' cases. The hidden tests use no encoded entities, so this was never exercised, but it is a latent gap given the task's wording.",

This is the corpus smoke test (role: smoke, difficulty: basic), and the documentation supported it cleanly end to end.\n\nWhat the docs did well, mapped to the cases that could have tripped subjects:\n- uppercase-tag (<IMG SRC>): next_tag's $query docblock states \"Matching is ASCII case-insensitive\" (html-tag-processor.md L952), and the get_updated_html guarantee (\"Every byte the updates did not touch is returned exactly as it appeared\", L2287) is why <IMG and SRC= keep their original case in output. All trials passed without special-casing.\n- inside-comment-ignored: next_tag()'s description explicitly states \"Only real HTML tags can match. Tag-like text inside comments... is text, not tags, and is never matched or modified\" (L939). All three explanations correctly asserted comments are skipped automatically rather than writing manual comment-detection logic.\n- existing-classes: the add_class() docblock precisely documents append-without-removal/reorder and the no-duplicate no-op (L2221), plus the whitespace-and-ordering preservation note (L328). Subjects' claims about safe handling of existing classes were accurate, not lucky guesses.\n- incomplete-tag-at-end (<img src=\\\"a.jpg): next_tag's notes document that \"A document that ends in the middle of a tag (truncated input) pauses the processor: the incomplete tag is never matched, so it is never modified\" (L941), with a worked false-return example. The truncated IMG is correctly left unmodified.\n- unquoted-attributes: handled implicitly by the byte-preservation guarantee; add_class only touches the class attribute, so src=a.jpg width=10 pass through verbatim.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: none material. Every claim each subject made is directly supported by a documented passage. The three calling conventions for next_tag (full array, and bare string) split across trials all appear verbatim in the docs table (L58-59), so the API surface was unambiguous and no subject had to guess.",

No trial fell into this, but the wording invites it.",

This is a basic smoke test, and the two markdown files supported it well. Analysis of what the docs did well and the near-misses:\n\nWhat worked: (1) The 'Which processor should I use?' section (tag-processor lines 18-25) plus the 'Supported elements' framing in html-processor (line 81) gave a clear, repeated steer toward the Tag Processor for flat, byte-exact attribute edits. All three subjects chose correctly with high confidence (92-92-92). (2) The get_attribute() return-value contract is documented in two places that reinforce each other: the 'Custom queries' prose (lines 89-90: null when absent, '' when present-but-empty, true for boolean attributes) and the method docblock (lines 1462-1495). Every subject relied on the null-vs-non-null distinction to satisfy the empty-href-counts and valueless-href-counts cases, which is exactly the distinction the task hinges on. (3) The 'Modifying HTML attributes' section (line 156: 'If set_attribute() is called for an existing attribute it will overwrite the existing value... safe to call without knowing if a given attribute exists') directly answered the existing-target-overwritten case. (4) The next_tag() docblock's explicit statements that tag-name matching is ASCII case-insensitive and that tag-like text inside comments is never matched (lines 937-939) covered the uppercase-attribute and inside-comment-ignored cases for free.\n\nNear-miss in an explanation (not in code): Trial 3's comment states get_attribute() returns the empty string for a valueless attribute like <a href>. The docs say a boolean/valueless attribute returns true (lines 90, 1495); only a present-but-empty value (href=\\\"\\\") returns \\\"\\\". The subject's null-only guard made the distinction irrelevant here, so no case failed, but had the task instead required distinguishing href=\\\"\\\" from <a href> (e.g., 'only retarget links whose href is non-empty'), this misconception would have produced a wrong result. The root cause is that the true-vs-'' distinction, though stated, is easy to skim past because the two facts sit in a single dense paragraph (lines 89-90) and the boolean-returns-true fact is the last clause rather than its own emphasized line.\"",

Trial 3 misremembered this and wrote that a valueless attribute like <a href> returns ''. A reader scanning quickly can conflate empty-value with valueless.",

The documentation was decisive here. html-processor.md contains a near-verbatim worked example for exactly this shape of task in the next_token() section (lines 622-647): collecting the text content of a found element by recording its depth, walking tokens with next_token(), accumulating get_modifiable_text() for '#text' tokens, and stopping by depth comparison. That example also pre-empts the two traps in this task: (a) it states explicitly that '>=' (not '>') is required because nested closers like </strong> report the same depth as the element's contents, which is exactly what the nested-markup and nested-in-div cases probe; and (b) it notes that unclosed elements still produce closing tokens at end of input, covering the unclosed-h1 case. The is_tag_closer() doc (line 686) reinforces the depth-on-closer semantics. next_token()'s note (line 618) that 'an element's text content may be split across several consecutive #text tokens: accumulate text while walking' directly steers the correct accumulation pattern. All three subjects transcribed this pattern faithfully. The image-only-empty-string case ('') is handled correctly because the loop simply finds no #text tokens and $text stays '', and get_modifiable_text()'s doc (line 2073) clarifies empty-string semantics. Near-misses in the explanations: trials 1 and 2 ASSERT that get_modifiable_text() decodes character references, and trial 3 states it most explicitly — yet the get_modifiable_text() docblock (lines 2063-2081) never actually says the returned text is decoded; it only describes 'text content that may be read and changed.' The subjects inferred decoding from the task spec ('with character references decoded'), and a probe confirms the behavior is correct (input 'Fish &amp; Chips &mdash; daily' yields 'Fish & Chips — daily'). So the entities-decoded case passed despite the doc never stating the decoding guarantee — a latent gap that happened not to bite because the task description supplied the missing fact. The second latent gap: create_fragment is documented as returning 'static|null' (line 351), but only trial-1 guarded the null; trials 2 and 3 would fatal on a null processor. No test case feeds unparseable input, so this never surfaced.\"",

All 6 cases pass; all encoding edge cases handled by documented auto-encoding. Explanation is accurate and complete; confidence 92, well-calibrated."
+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed 6/6 with zero _doing_it_wrong records. The documentation succeeded decisively because the task maps almost one-to-one onto the 'Building markup from a template' section of html-tag-processor.md (lines 158-182), which states the two governing rules (include attributes with empty values so updates preserve written order; include placeholder text so a #text node exists for set_modifiable_text) and then shows a near-identical worked example (template -> next_tag -> set_attribute x2 -> next_token loop matching '#text' -> set_modifiable_text -> get_updated_html). All three subjects transcribed this pattern. The encoding edge cases (ampersand, double-quotes in alt, angle brackets, the not-parsed <script> caption, unicode) were all handled implicitly because the docs repeatedly assert that set_attribute and set_modifiable_text accept plain unescaped values and encode them as needed (get_attribute heading lines 1480-1481; set_modifiable_text heading lines 1839/1911-1914; the template section's 'every value safely encoded' comment). No subject attempted manual escaping, so no double-encoding occurred. Attribute order was guaranteed by the docs' explicit warning that ADDED attributes are sorted by name rather than placed in call order (line 162), which is why all three pre-seeded src and alt in the template instead of adding them.\\n\\nNear-misses worth noting: (1) Trial-1 inserted a redundant next_tag('figcaption') before the token walk. It happens to be safe because next_token then advances onto the placeholder text node inside the figcaption, but the docs' template example does not show combining next_tag with a subsequent token walk, so the subject was extrapolating. The example's unguarded 'walk to the first #text' works only because the template author controls the markup; nothing in the docs states this precondition, so a subject applying the pattern to a template with leading text (e.g. text inside <figure> before <img>) could grab the wrong node. (2) Trials 1 and 3 do not check the next_tag return value before calling set_attribute; the template example also omits this guard, so the docs implicitly model unguarded calls on known-good templates.",

It does not warn that in a template with multiple text nodes — e.g. text before the target element, or whitespace between tags — the first #text encountered may not be the intended one. Subjects extrapolating the pattern (trial-1 added next_tag before the walk to disambiguate) had to guess at how to target a specific element's text.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence noting that next_token visits every text node in document order, so to target the text of a specific element either keep the template free of other text nodes or first next_tag() to that element's opener and then walk to its #text. This generalizes the 'which text node' question without encoding this task's answer."

The docs never state what set_attribute does when no tag is matched, leaving subjects to assume unguarded calls are always safe.",
+      "suggestion": "State explicitly in set_attribute's docblock what happens when called while not matched on a tag opener (no-op, or _doing_it_wrong), so subjects know whether the return-value guard shown in examples is decorative or load-bearing. This is a general robustness fact, not task-specific."

A subject reading only the method heading would not learn that an empty element offers no #text token to replace, which is the single most common failure mode for this kind of task.",
+      "suggestion": "In the set_modifiable_text docblock, add a short note (or @see to the template section) that an element with no existing text content exposes no #text token, so a placeholder character must be present in the template for replacement to have a target."

It starts with a template HTML string containing the exact structure required, with placeholder src and alt attributes in the correct order (src first, then alt) to ensure they appear in that order in the output. After creating the processor, it finds the IMG tag and uses set_attribute() to set src and alt from the parameters, which automatically handles all necessary HTML escaping. Then it walks through tokens to find the text node inside the figcaption and uses set_modifiable_text() to set the caption text with proper escaping. Finally, it returns the processed HTML via get_updated_html().",

All three subjects reproduced it faithfully. (2) The get_modifiable_text docblock in html-tag-processor.md (lines 1822-1839) explicitly states the returned text is ALREADY decoded for #text nodes (with the concrete amp-to-ampersand example) and warns Do not decode the returned string again. This is why the entities-count-decoded and accented cases passed and why no subject double-decoded. (3) get_token_type's enumerated return values (lines 1680-1694) gave subjects the documented #text literal to filter on. (4) create_fragment's documented static-or-null return (html-processor.md line 351) prompted trials 1-2 to null-check, and the absence of such a return on the Tag Processor constructor correctly led trial-3 to skip it.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: The script-excluded case is the subtlest. SCRIPT/STYLE content IS that element's modifiable text (html-tag-processor.md lines 280-293), yet the script token's get_token_type returns #tag (verified: name=SCRIPT, type=#tag), so a #text filter excludes the script body. Every subject's explanation asserts script/style are not text nodes and so are excluded, which is the right conclusion, but none cite where the docs establish that the SCRIPT element token carries that raw text under type #tag rather than emitting it as a separate #text child. The two facts (script content lives in modifiable text vs script token type is #tag) sit in different sections and are never linked, so subjects reasoned to the correct answer without the docs ever stating it directly. This latent gap happened not to bite because the filter target (#text) and the script's type (#tag) differ. The malformed-nesting case passed for all, including the tree-less Tag Processor, because text extraction is insensitive to nesting normalization here; no explanation noted that the Tag Processor and HTML Processor could diverge on tree-construction-sensitive inputs such as table foster-parenting, the one robustness assumption left unexamined in trial-3.",

Incremental per-token truncation with a running codepoint count (mb_strlen/mb_substr, UTF-8) correctly avoids splitting multi-byte chars. Script/style exclusion is correct because their token type is #tag, not #text (verified). 9/9. Every method exists in the docs; no _doing_it_wrong.

Cleaner accumulate-then-truncate matches the docs more closely than trials 1-2. 9/9; no hallucinated methods (next_token, get_token_type, get_modifiable_text all documented); no _doing_it_wrong. Slight deduction vs the HTML Processor only because the Tag Processor does not build a document tree (no foster-parenting / nesting normalization); for these inputs the two produce identical text (verified), but the choice would diverge on table-fostered text, which the explanation does not acknowledge.

Idiomatic token walking via while(next_tag), breadcrumb-based ancestor check, get_updated_html for reading edits back.

Minor non-idiomatic divergence from the reference: checks in_array('BLOCKQUOTE', $breadcrumbs) over the FULL breadcrumb array including the self-element (P), rather than slicing it off with array_slice(...,0,-1). Harmless here because a P is never a BLOCKQUOTE, but it is technically an 'is BLOCKQUOTE in my ancestor-or-self path' check rather than a strict ancestor check; would misfire if the task targeted self-matching tags.

+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed 7/7 across every case (simple, deep-ancestor, outside-untouched, implicitly-closed-paragraphs, existing-class-preserved, nested-blockquotes, mixed-document). The docs did three things well that drove this clean sweep:\n\n1. Processor selection was unambiguous. html-processor.md line 81 ('Choose it whenever document STRUCTURE matters — containment checks ...') plus line 20 of html-tag-processor.md ('get_breadcrumbs() does not exist on this class') correctly funneled all three subjects to WP_HTML_Processor and away from the Tag Processor. The 'deep-ancestor' (BLOCKQUOTE > DIV > SECTION > P) and 'mixed-document' cases require true ancestor awareness, and the docs made breadcrumbs the obvious tool.\n\n2. The get_breadcrumbs() example at line 831 (`array('HTML','BODY','P','STRONG','EM','IMG')`) communicated three load-bearing facts simultaneously: breadcrumbs are returned in UPPERCASE, they run root-to-node, and they INCLUDE the matched element itself. The uppercase fact is why `in_array('BLOCKQUOTE', $breadcrumbs, true)` with strict comparison works; the included-self fact is why searching the whole array doesn't break on the P (a P never equals BLOCKQUOTE). All three relied on both, correctly.\n\n3. The implicit-paragraph case ('<blockquote><p>first<p>second</blockquote>' where the first P is auto-closed) passed for free because the HTML Processor models the HTML parsing algorithm; the subjects never had to reason about implicit closing — the processor handles it and breadcrumbs stay correct for each opener. The docs' framing of 'implied and virtual closing tags' (line 81) set the right expectation.\n\nNear-misses in reasoning, not outcomes: none of the three sliced the self-element off the breadcrumbs the way reference.php does (array_slice(get_breadcrumbs(), 0, -1)). Their explanations call get_breadcrumbs 'the ancestor chain' / 'ancestor path' when the docs (line 50, line 831) actually define it as root-down-to-AND-INCLUDING the current node. This is a real conceptual slip — they conflated 'ancestors' with 'ancestor-or-self' — that happened to be invisible because the predicate target (BLOCKQUOTE) can never equal the matched tag (P). A task that asked to mark, say, every BLOCKQUOTE nested inside another BLOCKQUOTE using the same idiom would have exposed the bug in all three. The docs describe the inclusion of self correctly but never explicitly warn that get_breadcrumbs() is ancestor-OR-SELF, nor demonstrate the array_slice idiom for a strict-ancestor query, so the misconception was latent and undetected.",

All three subjects described it as 'the ancestor chain' and searched the full array. For a strict-ancestor predicate this is latent-buggy; it only worked because the searched tag could never equal the matched tag. A task marking element X nested inside another X would break with this exact idiom.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one explicit sentence: 'The returned array includes the currently-matched node itself as its last element; it is ancestor-OR-SELF, not just ancestors.' Then show the strict-ancestor idiom once, e.g. `$ancestors = array_slice( $processor->get_breadcrumbs(), 0, -1 );` with a note that you must drop the last element when you specifically need ancestors and the element you search for could equal the matched tag's own name."

The subjects' strict comparison `in_array('BLOCKQUOTE', $breadcrumbs, true)` depends entirely on this; they got it right, but only by mirroring the example rather than from a stated guarantee. Code written from a lowercase mental model with strict comparison would silently never match.",
+      "suggestion": "State the normalization explicitly: 'Tag names in breadcrumbs are always upper-cased (e.g. BLOCKQUOTE) no matter how they were written in the source, so compare against upper-case literals — strict (===/in_array(...,true)) comparisons against lower-case strings will never match.'"

Idiomatic: anchors a table_depth at the TABLE opener and breaks the outer walk when depth drops below it; runs a nested next_token() cell loop that accumulates only #text tokens while depth >= cell_depth — this mirrors the documented LI/UL text-collection examples (html-processor.md:622-642, 884-896). Edge cases handled per docs: entities decoded via get_modifiable_text, empty cells initialized to '' (so '' survives), markup contributes nothing (only #text accumulated), first-table-only via depth break. Minor non-idioms cost a few points: the outer loop is `while(next_token())` with an internal `if (depth < table_depth) break;` rather than the cleaner documented guard `while(next_token() && depth >= table_depth)`, and it carries a redundant current_row flush inside the break branch (the nested cell loop already appends cells, so this branch is effectively dead).

Structure is reasonable: flag-based in_cell tracking with explicit TD/TH opener/closer handling, accumulating #text only while in_cell. The defect is the outer break condition `if (current_depth <= table_depth) break;`. This is an off-by-one against the documented depth contract: get_current_depth() docs (html-processor.md:852-855) state the first token below the anchor depth N is the element's OWN closer at depth N-1, and a child element's closer reports depth N (not below). For the thead-tbody input the </THEAD> closer reports depth 3 == table_depth (probe-confirmed), so `<= table_depth` breaks right after the thead, dropping every tbody row — output `[['H']]` vs expected `[['H'],['a'],['b']]`. The documented continue-pattern is `>= depth` (break-equivalent `< depth`, which trials 1-2 used); trial-3 inverted it to `<= depth` and lost the boundary. Otherwise the cell/text handling is idiomatic and the other 7 cases pass. Loses points on the depth-boundary edge case (which the docs do describe) plus a smaller idiomaticity ding for not using the documented guard form."

+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "One hidden case failed across all trials: trial-3 / thead-tbody (expected [['H'],['a'],['b']], actual [['H']]). Trials 1 and 2 passed all 8.\n\nRoot cause (trial-3): an off-by-one in the table-boundary break condition. The code anchors `table_depth = get_current_depth()` at the TABLE opener (depth 3), then walks tokens and breaks with `if (current_depth <= table_depth) break;`. By the documented depth contract, every token strictly inside TABLE reports depth >= table_depth, INCLUDING the closers of child elements like </THEAD>, which report exactly table_depth (3). The TABLE's own closer is the first to report table_depth - 1 (2). Probe-confirmed: for `<table><thead><tr><th>H</th></tr></thead><tbody>...`, the </THEAD> closer reports depth 3, equal to table_depth. So `<= table_depth` terminates the walk immediately after the thead subtree, before any tbody row is seen — silently dropping the tbody rows. The correct negation of the documented continue-pattern (`while next_token() && depth >= anchor`) is a strict break `depth < anchor`, which trials 1 and 2 used (probe-confirmed they break only on </TABLE> at depth 2). This is the same boundary trap that the next_token() docblock calls out as the `>` vs `>=` pitfall (html-processor.md:639-641) — but that warning is phrased entirely for the cell-level continue-condition, and trial-3 made the analogous error one level up, at the table loop, while writing a break (inverted) condition.\n\nResponsible documentation passages: get_current_depth() (html-processor.md:852-855) does correctly and explicitly state the boundary (\"the first token to report a depth less than N is the element's own closing token, at depth N-1; ... the closers of its child elements included\" report >= N). The information needed to avoid the bug is present and accurate. The gap is presentational: every depth-walk example in both files (next_token 628, get_current_depth 891, get_breadcrumbs guard) shows ONLY the positive continue-form `>= anchor`. None shows the negated break-form, and the explicit off-by-one warning (next_token 639-641) is tied to the `>` vs `>=` continue-condition, not to a `<` vs `<=` break-condition. A subject who restructures the loop into an early `break` must mentally negate `>= N` to `< N` and not `<= N`; the docs never demonstrate that negation, so the contributor who reformulated the loop tripped on it. This is a thin-margin failure rather than missing knowledge.\n\nWhat the docs did well (trials 1, 2): the create_fragment + next_token + get_current_depth text-collection idiom (LI example at html-processor.md:622-642, UL example at 884-896) transferred cleanly to the table case. Both subjects reproduced the anchor-depth pattern, the nested cell loop, and #text-only accumulation. Entities were decoded correctly in all trials despite the HTML Processor's get_modifiable_text() docblock (2063-2081) NOT mentioning character-reference decoding — subjects evidently relied on the Tag Processor's 'Fish & Chips' decoding example (html-tag-processor.md:1816-1836) or the 'Buy milk today.' result, a near-miss that happened to land right but rests on cross-file inference rather than the HTML Processor page itself. Empty-cell semantics ('' vs null) were handled by initializing cell text to '' at the opener, which the docs support via get_modifiable_text returning '' and the empty-cell behavior; no subject mishandled it.",

It happened to work here, but it is an undocumented assumption on this page.",

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed 8/8 with zero _doing_it_wrong records. The analysis is therefore of what the docs did well and the near-misses.\n\nWhat the docs did well (this is a clean win for round-06 docs):\n- The serialize_token() docblock (html-processor.md lines 1011-1040) is the load-bearing passage and it is excellent. It explicitly states that walking every token with next_token() and concatenating serialize_token() reconstructs the normalized serialization, and that the token-by-token form exists 'so that a rewriting loop can transform the document while serializing: skip tokens to remove them, or emit extra markup around them to insert wrappers.' This sentence directly names the wrapper use case, and the worked example (remove-every-SUP loop) demonstrates the exact loop skeleton. All three subjects reproduced this pattern verbatim in spirit. This passage almost certainly caused the uniform success.\n- The same docblock disambiguates serialize_token() from get_updated_html()/serialize() (lines 1039-1040), steering subjects away from the common wrong choice of get_updated_html() for read-after-rewrite. No trial used get_updated_html(), so that guidance landed.\n- get_modifiable_text() (html-processor.md lines 2063-2073) makes clear it returns decoded #text content, which is why the entity-encoded-keyword case (w&#111;rld -> 'world') matched: subjects searched the decoded text, exactly as the docs imply. The Tag Processor copy (html-tag-processor.md ~line 1796) reinforces this with the 'Apples & Oranges' decoded example.\n- get_token_type() returning '#text' for text nodes is shown in worked examples in both files (html-tag-processor.md lines 173-174, 257-268; html-processor.md lines 629-630), so the '#text' === comparison was directly transcribable. This also explains why comment/attribute cases passed without special handling: comments are not '#text' tokens and attribute values are never surfaced as tokens, so the wrap simply never fires on them.\n- create_fragment()'s signature shows static|null return (line 351), prompting all three to guard the null case, which matches the reference.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations / code:\n- Trial-2 returns the raw $html on parse failure instead of normalized '' (or a normalized form). This is the only genuine deviation from the reference. It is invisible to the test suite because no case feeds unsupported markup that makes create_fragment return null, but it is the one spot where a doc statement could have tightened behavior: the docs describe when create_fragment returns null (unsupported/fragment-incompatible input) but never advise what a normalizing function should produce in that case.\n- None of the explanations mention the get_modifiable_text() caveat (line 2073) that an empty string is ambiguous. Here it is harmless because the keyword is guaranteed non-empty, so strpos over empty text yields false. No trial reasoned about this explicitly, but none needed to.\n- All three used strpos() where the reference uses str_contains(); equivalent, not a documentation matter.",

The gap is generalizable: any token-rewriting recipe must decide a fallback for unparseable input.",

All three trials passed all 6 cases (two-headings, single-heading, no-headings-unchanged, many-headings, comment-h2-not-counted, existing-class) with byte-exact output and no _doing_it_wrong/trigger_error records. This is a clean documentation success.\n\nWhat the docs did well: The set_bookmark() section (html-tag-processor.md, ~line 1090-1151) directly enabled the core insight. Line 1151 spells out the exact pattern this task needs: 'Setting a bookmark with a name that is already in use MOVES that bookmark to the current location; it does not leak the old one or require releasing it first. Re-setting the same name on every match is the supported idiom for remembering the last X seen so far ... This is how to track the last occurrence of something in a single pass without hitting the bookmark limit.' The worked LI example immediately above (lines 1118-1145) demonstrates the same shape (set_bookmark on every match, seek back later). The next_tag() description plus query table (lines 47-63) made the H2-selection trivial, and the get_updated_html() / add_class() docs (lines 2213, 2279, and the byte-preservation note at line 328) gave the subjects justified confidence that surrounding bytes and existing classes are preserved. The comment-h2-not-counted case passed for free because all three relied on the Tag Processor not matching tag-like content inside comments — though note this correctness was implicit, not something a subject could have cited from a doc passage.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations / non-idiomatic choices (no functional impact): (1) Two of three subjects (trials 1 and 2) released the bookmark before re-setting the same name, despite line 1151 explicitly stating this is unnecessary. They got the idiom's result right but did not fully absorb the 'does not require releasing it first' clause — a signal that the key sentence, though present, sits at the end of a dense paragraph and may be read past. (2) Trials 1 and 3 added an is_tag_closer() guard that can never fire, because next_tag defaults tag_closers to 'skip' (documented only parenthetically in the query-param blob at line 952, '\\\"visit\\\" or \\\"skip\\\" (default)'). The default-skip behavior is easy to miss when buried inside the @type description, leading defensive subjects to add a redundant check. Neither near-miss caused a failure here, but both point to passages that are correct yet under-emphasized.",

Two of three subjects added a redundant is_tag_closer() guard, indicating they could not tell from the docs that closers are already excluded.",

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed in any trial: all three trials passed 9/9, byte-for-byte equivalent to the canonical reference. The documentation was decisive here, so the analysis is of what the docs did well plus one near-miss.\n\nWhat the docs did well:\n1. Discoverability of the right tool. html-processor.md surfaces normalize() as a public static method in the Method Index ('Normalizes an HTML fragment by serializing it') and gives it a dedicated section (lines ~909-959) with a one-line signature `public static function normalize(string $html): string|null`. Subjects with no source access found the single-call solution immediately rather than reconstructing it from next_token()/serialize_token() walking. All three independently chose the same minimal, correct approach.\n2. The return-null-on-unsupported contract is explicit in three places: the class-level 'HTML Support' note ('methods which produce output (such as serialize() and normalize()) return null'), and both the normalize() and serialize() sections list the null return. This directly drove the `if (null === ...) return false;` guard that satisfies the task's 'return false if either input cannot be fully parsed' requirement — the entity that handles the misnesting and any other unsupported-markup case.\n3. The exact unsupported construct from the hidden test (`<b>one<i>two</b>three</i>`) appears verbatim in the 'Supported elements' section as an example of mis-nested formatting elements that cause the processor to abort. A subject reading that section would predict the misnesting-unsupported-false case returns null -> false. This is a strong example-to-test alignment.\n4. BODY-context scoping is stated ('This method assumes that the given HTML snippet is found in BODY context'), matching the task's framing of fragments 'as found inside <body>'. No subject was tempted toward create_full_parser, which would have been wrong for fragments.\n5. The normalization semantics list (double-quoted attributes, duplicate-attribute removal, omitted tags added, tag/attr lowercasing, text re-encoding/character-reference normalization, trailing incomplete-syntax removal) gave subjects justified confidence that quoting-style, tag-case, entity-spelling, and whitespace-in-tag differences would collapse while attribute-order, text, and structure differences would not. The explanations in all three responses cite exactly these points.\n\nNear-miss / single observed gap (did not cause a failure): On the misnesting case the harness captured a level-512 (E_USER_NOTICE) trigger_error 'Cannot serialize HTML Processor with parsing error: unsupported.' originating from WP_HTML_Processor::serialize(), which normalize() calls internally. The docs nowhere mention that normalize()/serialize() emit a notice (a _doing_it_wrong-style signal) on unsupported input — they describe only the null return. Here it was harmless because the candidates never call serialize() directly and only consume normalize()'s null return. But a subject who instead built the serialize() path manually, or who tried to suppress/assert on errors, could be surprised by an emitted notice the docs never advertise. The other near-miss is purely cosmetic: trial-1 self-reported confidence 78 despite a textbook-correct solution, suggesting the docs could more explicitly bless normalize()+string-compare as the canonical structural-equality recipe.",

Callers relying only on the documented null return are unaware a notice is also raised, which can surface in error logs or trip strict error handlers/tests.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to both sections noting that when the input contains unsupported markup the method returns null AND triggers a notice describing the unsupported parse; advise callers who expect to normalize possibly-unsupported input to handle or expect that notice.

+      "suggestion": "Add a short 'Comparing fragments' note: because normalization is deterministic and canonicalizes quoting, casing, implied tags, and character references, two fragments are DOM-equivalent iff their non-null normalized strings are identical; differences in attribute order, attribute values, text, or structure are preserved and so produce different output.

Every method called is documented: create_fragment, next_token, get_tag, get_token_type, serialize_token (verified by grep against both markdown files; no _doing_it_wrong records) (30/30). Used the documented token-walk + serialize_token idiom from the SUP-removal example at html-processor.md:1025-1035 almost verbatim, relying on the doc's explicit guarantee that a single `continue` on get_tag()==='SPAN' skips both opener and closer (25/25). Edge cases all pass: unclosed-span auto-closed by parser, &AMP; re-encoded by serialize_token, attributes dropped with the skipped opener (15/15). Passed 7/7. The added get_token_type()==='#tag' guard is defensive and harmless — get_tag() returns null on non-tag tokens anyway so 'SPAN'=== never matches text, but the guard mirrors the reference.

All edge cases pass, 7/7 (15/15). Highest self-reported confidence (92), well calibrated.

+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed in any trial — all three trials passed 7/7. This task is a near-isomorphic instance of a worked example already present in the docs: the `serialize_token()` entry in html-processor.md (lines 1011-1040) contains a \"Remove every SUP element but keep its contents\" example whose only difference from the required solution is the tag name (SUP vs SPAN). Trial-3 explicitly recognized and reused it.\n\nWhat the docs did well: (1) The prose at html-processor.md:1021 states the exact invariant that makes the one-line solution correct — \"Walking every token ... and concatenating serialize_token() ... reconstructs the normalized serialization ... skip tokens to remove them ... Closing tokens of skipped elements must be skipped too.\" This single sentence resolves the two hardest conceptual hurdles of the task: that concatenated serialize_token output is the normalized form (covering the no-spans-normalized-passthrough and unclosed-span cases for free), and that closers must also be skipped (covering nested-spans and adjacent-spans). (2) The inline comment \"Skips both the opener and the closer\" in the example pre-empts the most likely error — emitting orphaned `</span>` closers — which is exactly the bug trial-2 over-corrected against with an unnecessary depth counter. (3) The serialize-vs-get_updated_html disambiguation (lines 1039-1040, repeated at 969-971) steers subjects away from reaching for get_updated_html(), which would have been wrong here since no attribute/text edits are queued; no trial misused it.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: Trial-2's reasoning is the only fragile spot. Its depth-counter implies a belief that a bare `continue` would not correctly handle nested spans — the opposite of what the doc states. The code still passes because nested closers independently match get_tag()==='SPAN', but the subject did not trust (or did not read closely) the doc's explicit \"Closing tokens of skipped elements must be skipped too\" guarantee. This is a comprehension near-miss, not a functional one. All three subjects also diverged from the reference on the create_fragment-returns-null path (returning $html instead of ''); this is untested and the docs specify no behavior for the caller's fallback, so it surfaced no failure.",
+  "doc_gaps": [
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::serialize_token() — token-rewriting prose (html-processor.md ~line 1021)",
+      "problem": "The guarantee that a single name-based `continue` removes an entire element including all nested same-name descendants is implicit. The sentence 'Closing tokens of skipped elements must be skipped too' tells the reader closers must be skipped, but does not make explicit that filtering on get_tag()==='TAG' already skips every opener AND every closer of that tag name at any nesting depth in one branch. Trial-2 missed this and added a redundant manual depth counter, reasoning (incorrectly) that nesting needed special handling.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one clause to the existing prose stating that because get_tag() returns the tag name for both openers and closers, a name-based skip in the loop drops every matching opener and closer regardless of nesting — no depth tracking is needed when removing all elements of a given name. Distinguish this from the case where you remove only some instances of a tag (e.g. by attribute or breadcrumb), which DOES require tracking the matched element's closer."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment() — Returns section (html-processor.md ~line 381)",
+      "problem": "The docs state the method returns null 'otherwise' but never describe when null actually occurs (e.g. non-default context or non-UTF-8 encoding) nor recommend how a caller should behave on null. All three subjects guessed a fallback (return the raw input unchanged), diverging from the reference's empty-string contract. No test caught it, but the ambiguity invites inconsistent error handling across callers.",
+      "suggestion": "Specify the concrete conditions that produce null (currently: a context other than <body>, or an encoding other than UTF-8 — i.e. unsupported configurations, not malformed HTML, since any byte string parses). Note that valid HTML in the default body/UTF-8 configuration never returns null, so the null branch is purely a guard for unsupported options. This lets callers reason about whether the branch is reachable rather than inventing arbitrary fallbacks."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "Cross-reference between serialize_token() example and get_token_type() (html-processor.md ~line 1030)",
+      "problem": "The SUP-removal example filters purely on get_tag() without a get_token_type() guard, while trial-1 added a '#tag'===get_token_type() guard. Both are correct because get_tag() returns null on non-tag tokens, but the docs never state that get_tag() is null-safe to compare against a tag name on any token type, leaving subjects unsure whether a token-type guard is required before calling get_tag().",
+      "suggestion": "In the get_tag() entry, state explicitly that it returns null on any non-tag token, so comparing get_tag() to an uppercase tag name is safe inside a next_token() loop without first checking get_token_type(). This clarifies that the extra guard is optional, preventing both unnecessary defensive code and uncertainty."

It walks through every token in the document using next_token(), skipping both opening and closing SPAN tags while serializing all other tokens. The HTML Processor automatically handles normalization during serialization, producing double-quoted attributes, closing optional tags, and normalizing text encoding. This approach is directly from the documented example for removing SUP elements.",

Subject: [PATCH 028/193] HTML API docs round 8 hypotheses: UTF-8 output
 statement; break-form boundary rule.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Round-7's only functional miss (T05 5/9) sliced multibyte text without
an explicit encoding; the docs say UTF-8 is the only supported input
but never said the output of get_modifiable_text() is UTF-8 nor showed
the mb_* explicit-encoding idiom — stated on both classes now. T08's
recurring boundary confusion appears in break-form code that the
continue-form-only warning misses: stated the equivalence
(break at < depth, never <= depth).

+  "failure_analysis": "No failures. All three trials passed all 9 hidden cases and are byte-equivalent in logic to the canonical reference (constructor, drain loop, paused_at_incomplete_token). What the docs did well: the `paused_at_incomplete_token()` method heading (html-tag-processor.md lines 1015-1047) is the decisive asset. It contains (a) a one-line short example using next_tag(), and crucially (b) a longer-document example at lines 1031-1039 that spells out the exact required idiom — \"In a longer document, drain all tokens first... this method reports the state at the point scanning stopped\" followed by `while ($processor->next_token()) { continue; }` then `paused_at_incomplete_token()`. This directly pre-empts the most likely failure mode (calling the method without first scanning to end of input, which would report the state at token 0). The summary table (line 362) and the cross-references at lines 109, 941, 946 reinforce the concept, and the constructor examples at lines 105/114 even illustrate incomplete-tag and unclosed-special-element scenarios. The semantic distinction the task hinges on — \"lexically complete but structurally unclosed\" (e.g. `<div>text` returns false) vs \"truncated mid-token\" (returns true) — is implicitly conveyed by the method's prose (\"ended in the middle of a syntax element, such as in the middle of a tag\") and was correctly internalized by all three subjects' explanations. Near-misses in explanations: none material. Trial-2's explanation is the thinnest (omits the lone-`<` case) but its code is still correct. The minor wording inconsistency in the docs (return description at line 1047 says \"paused at the START of an incomplete token\" while the summary/body say \"ended in the middle of\") did not mislead any subject, but it is a latent ambiguity worth tightening.",

This task happened to not depend on the distinction, but a reader doing offset/length math could be misled.",

All three converged on the canonical reference solution (return null !== WP_HTML_Processor::normalize($html)), differing only cosmetically (variable name, Yoda vs non-Yoda comparison).\n\nWhat the docs did well: This task is a near-ideal documentation success. Three factors made it tractable from docs alone. (1) The class-overview/error-handling section (html-processor.md line 84) states plainly that when unsupported markup appears, \"methods which produce output (such as serialize() and normalize()) return null.\" This directly tells a reader the failure signal is a null return — the crux of this task. (2) The normalize() method docblock (lines 911-961) reinforces it: signature string|null, return description \"Normalized output, or null if unable to normalize,\" and an explicit note that it assumes BODY context (matching the task's '<body> fragment' framing). (3) The supported/unsupported-elements section (lines 86-88) names the exact failure category the false-case probes (foster parenting, and by extension adoption-agency misnesting), so the false expectation for '<b>one<i>two</b>three</i>' is consistent with documented behavior. All three subjects' explanations correctly cite this contract; none invented helper methods or attempted a manual token-walk + serialize_token reconstruction (which would have been over-engineered and error-prone here).\n\nNear-misses / latent risk not exercised by these cases: (a) The docs guide BODY-context fragments to normalize() but route full documents / other contexts to create_fragment/create_full_parser + serialize() (lines 919-920, 971). A test with a full document or a non-body fragment could have tripped a subject who reached for normalize() blindly; the hidden cases were all body fragments so this distinction was never stressed. (b) execution.json shows a trigger_error / _doing_it_wrong from WP_HTML_Processor::serialize (\"Cannot serialize HTML Processor with parsing error: unsupported.\") firing on the adoption-agency case. This notice is emitted internally by normalize() on its documented null-returning path — it is NOT subject misuse and did not affect the result — but the docs nowhere warn that normalize() emits a _doing_it_wrong notice even on the expected failure path. A subject who saw that notice during their own (forbidden here) experimentation could wrongly conclude they were misusing the API, or wrap the call in error suppression.",

A caller using normalize() as a feasibility check (the exact pattern here) will see this notice fire even on the legitimately-expected failure case, which can be mistaken for caller error and lead to incorrect error-suppression or extra guarding.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to the Returns note of normalize()/serialize(): note that on the unsupported-markup path the method returns null AND triggers a _doing_it_wrong notice, and that callers performing a feasibility/can-normalize check should rely on the null return value (optionally pairing with get_last_error/get_unsupported_exception) rather than treating the notice as a usage bug."

The boundary is stated but easy to miss; a reader could apply the static normalize() shortcut to a full document or non-body fragment and get silently wrong/empty results. None of the hidden cases stressed this, so the gap is latent rather than observed.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short 'When to use which' note near the normalize() docblock: normalize() = quick one-shot for BODY-context fragments; for full documents or fragments in other insertion contexts, construct via create_fragment/create_full_parser and call serialize(). A one-line code contrast (static normalize() vs instance serialize()) would make the boundary unmissable."

Minor: explanation says namespace 'distinguishes' SVG image but doesn't articulate the <image>->IMG reprocessing rule that actually makes image-tag-becomes-img pass; code is correct regardless.

+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed in any trial: all three trials passed 7/7 with zero _doing_it_wrong records. So this is a docs-success analysis plus near-misses.\n\nWhat the docs did well:\n- The decisive behavior — that HTML <image> is reparsed as IMG so next_tag('IMG') matches it, and that SVG's image element surfaces under a DIFFERENT name (IMAGE) in the svg namespace so it never matches next_tag('IMG') — is what makes the reference's tag-name-only approach work. My probe (WP_HTML_Processor on the three tricky inputs) confirms: HTML <image> -> tag 'IMG' ns 'html'; SVG <image> -> tag 'IMAGE' ns 'svg'; <img> in <svg> -> tag 'IMG' ns 'html' (breaks out). The get_tag() docblock (html-processor.md line 1719) explains this exact mechanism: 'certain tags be reprocessed with a different tag name ... the tag name presented by the HTML Processor may differ from the one reported by the HTML Tag Processor.' That single sentence is the conceptual key the task's warning ('not always how it is spelled in the source') points at, and it let subjects trust next_tag('IMG').\n- get_namespace() is documented in both files with a clear return enumeration ('One of html, math, or svg', html-processor.md line 1705-1709). All three subjects independently reached for it to exclude foreign content — the method's presence and one-line summary in the method index (line 183) was enough to surface it.\n- get_attribute()'s documented return type string|true|null with the explicit note 'Boolean attributes return true' and the tag-processor note (line 89) that it 'will return null if the attribute wasn't present ... may return \"\" where the attribute was present but value empty' directly drove the correct null/true/'' filtering in all three candidates, satisfying the task's 'skip images with no src or whose src has no value.'\n\nNear-misses in the explanations (no functional impact):\n- None of the three explanations names the <image>->IMG reprocessing rule; they all credit get_namespace() alone for SVG handling. That conflates two independent mechanisms: (a) tag-name reprocessing (why HTML <image> is collected and why SVG <image> is NOT, since it is named IMAGE), and (b) the namespace guard (which only matters hypothetically — in practice <img> always breaks out of SVG into the html namespace). The namespace guard is therefore correct-but-redundant for these literal cases; the actual SVG-vs-HTML discrimination is done by the element NAME, not the namespace, for this task. The docs do not connect these dots in one place, so the subjects added a guard whose real role they did not fully articulate. It happened not to cost correctness because the guard is harmless and the name-based matching does the real work.\n- The 'foreign content' / namespace discussion (html-processor.md lines 86, 457-476 on SVG context nodes and self-closing peculiarities) is about context-node parsing, not about which namespace a tag ends up in after break-out, so it did not directly answer 'is this <img> svg or html?'. Subjects had to infer the break-out behavior; they guarded for it correctly by luck of defensive coding rather than from a documented statement.",

Without this, a reader cannot reason about whether get_namespace() or the element name is the right discriminator for a given task — all three subjects added a namespace guard whose actual effect they could not articulate.",

The relevant facts (name reprocessing + namespace breakout) are split across the get_tag() note and absent from get_namespace(), so neither section alone answers the question.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short 'Distinguishing HTML elements from same-looking foreign elements' note that combines the two facts: match by the parsed tag name (get_tag) AND/OR confirm namespace (get_namespace), and explain that for void HTML elements like IMG the parser breaks them out to the html namespace. This is a generalizable pattern for any namespace-sensitive extraction task, not specific to this exercise."

(2) The 'Finding tags' table shows both next_tag('img') and next_tag(array('tag_name'=>'img')) side by side, so subjects used either form correctly without guessing. (3) The 'Modifying CSS classes for a found tag' section explicitly promises add_class is safe without pre-checking existence and preserves existing class order, which directly covers the existing-classes case. (4) The next_tag() 'What this matches' bullets pre-answer three test cases at once: ASCII case-insensitive matching with original casing preserved (uppercase-tag), tag-like text in comments is never matched (inside-comment-ignored), and truncated input pauses the processor so the incomplete tag is never modified (incomplete-tag-at-end). I verified this last behavior with a probe: the trailing '<img src=\\\"a.jpg' is left byte-identical and paused_at_incomplete_token() returns true, matching the docs. Near-misses in the explanations (not failures): trials 1 and 3 phrase the comment-skip rationale as the processor 'only matches real HTML tags,' which is correct but slightly less precise than trial 2; none of the three explanations mention the incomplete-token semantics explicitly even though every subject's code relies on it — they got the behavior for free from the default and may not realize the truncated tag was a deliberate edge case being tested.

What the docs did well, mapped to the cases that could have tripped subjects: (1) The empty-vs-valueless attribute distinction -- the crux of cases empty-href-counts and valueless-href-counts -- is stated three times in the tag-processor doc: the prose at lines 89-90 ('return null if absent ... may return \\\"\\\" if present but empty ... boolean attributes return true'), the signature 'public function get_attribute(string $name): string|true|null' at 1472, and the Returns row at 1505 ('Boolean attributes return true'). Every subject used the correct `null !== get_attribute('href')` guard rather than a truthiness check (which would have wrongly skipped href=\\\"\\\"), and the explanations cite the documented semantics, so this was grounded knowledge, not luck. (2) Overwrite semantics (case existing-target-overwritten) are documented at line 156: 'If set_attribute() is called for an existing attribute it will overwrite the existing value.' (3) Case-insensitive matching (case uppercase-attribute) -- next_tag tag_name matching is documented as 'ASCII case-insensitive' (line 952), and get_attribute name lookups are likewise case-insensitive in practice. (4) The inside-comment-ignored and nested-markup cases work for free because next_tag is documented as stopping only on real tags, not text inside comments. Near-misses worth noting: the inline comments in trials 1 and 2 paraphrase get_attribute's return as also yielding 'strings for valued attributes' lumped with the boolean case -- accurate enough but loosely worded; it did not affect the code. No trial demonstrated awareness of incomplete-input behavior (e.g. an unclosed `<a href` at EOF), but no hidden case exercised that, so it is untested rather than wrong.",

The Tag-vs-Processor split note (html-tag-processor.md:20: get_current_depth/get_breadcrumbs do not exist on the Tag Processor) steered all three to the correct class on the first try; none reached for the Tag Processor.\\n\\nNear-miss in the explanations rather than the code: all three subjects' write-ups say get_modifiable_text \\\"returns null only when no H1 exists\\\" or conflate the decoding behavior with the null-return logic. That is a misreading -- get_modifiable_text() returns a string (never null; '' when empty per html-processor.md:2075-2076), and the null comes from the no-H1 branch via next_tag() returning false. The code is correct, but the prose reveals a shaky mental model of which call produces null. The one real but latent weakness in all three is the omitted null-check on create_fragment(), whose documented signature is `static|null` (html-processor.md:351, 383). No test input forces a null fragment (the only supported context is <body>/UTF-8), so it never surfaced; the reference guards it, the subjects did not. The docs document the null return but do not motivate WHEN it happens, so subjects reasonably treated it as impossible.",

This is unnecessary — the documented template example (lines 173-178) continues the next_token loop on the SAME processor right after set_attribute calls. Probe confirmed the single-processor flow yields identical output. The re-instantiation reveals a misconception that attribute edits must be flushed to HTML before token-walking; it is harmless here (all 6 pass) but wasteful and would break flows that need bookmarks/state across the edit.

It states the two rules subjects needed — (1) include attributes with empty values in the template so updates preserve written order, and (2) include placeholder text because an empty element has no text node for set_modifiable_text to replace — and then shows a complete `<a href=\"\" title=\"\">.</a>` example using next_tag / set_attribute / next_token / get_token_type==='#text' / set_modifiable_text / get_updated_html. All three subjects mapped this onto `<figure><img src=\"\" alt=\"\"><figcaption>.</figcaption></figure>` correctly. The set_attribute docblock reinforces ordering with an `<img src=\"\" alt=\"\">` example (lines 2168-2181) almost identical to the target img. Encoding edge cases (&, <, >, quotes) passed because set_attribute (lines 2135-2145) and set_modifiable_text (lines 1864-1924) each show plain-in / encoded-out examples and the 'do not double-encode' warning; subjects correctly passed raw strings and let the API encode. The html-in-caption-not-parsed case passed because set_modifiable_text treats input as plaintext (line 1867 signature, 'plaintext_content'), so '<script>' became text, not a tag — subjects relied on this without needing to reason about it.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations / non-fatal misunderstandings: trial-2 (candidate.php line 16) re-instantiated a second WP_HTML_Tag_Processor from get_updated_html() before walking for the text node, and its explanation cites 'lines 158-182' as justification. The documented example does NOT re-instantiate — it continues next_token() on the same processor after set_attribute(). This is a comprehension slip: the subject inferred that pending attribute edits must be serialized before token iteration can proceed. It is invisible in the results (all pass) but indicates the template example does not explicitly say that attribute edits and a subsequent next_token() walk coexist on one live processor. Trials 1 and 3 understood the single-processor flow correctly. No subject inspected set_attribute/set_modifiable_text/next_tag boolean return values beyond an optional if() guard on next_tag, which is acceptable here since the template is known-good.",
+  "doc_gaps": [
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor — 'Building markup from a template' section (html-tag-processor.md:158-182)",
+      "problem": "The worked example sets attributes and then immediately runs a next_token() loop on the SAME processor, but never states that this is intentional and safe. Trial-2 inferred edits must be flushed via get_updated_html() and re-instantiated a fresh processor mid-build (a harmless but wasteful pattern that would discard bookmarks and processor state in more complex flows).",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to the section noting that queued attribute edits and continued token walking coexist on a single processor: 'You do not need a new processor or an intermediate get_updated_html() call between editing attributes and walking tokens for text — queued updates are applied lazily and the same processor keeps scanning forward.' This generalizes to any edit-then-continue-walking flow."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::next_token() / general scanning narrative (html-tag-processor.md around line 250)",
+      "problem": "The docs show next_token() used to find a #text node but do not state that scanning is forward-only and single-pass relative to attribute edits, leaving the order of operations (find tag, edit, then keep walking for text) as something subjects must infer from one example. This is the gap that let trial-2's flush-and-restart misconception survive.",
+      "suggestion": "State explicitly that the processor advances forward through the document once and that set_attribute / set_modifiable_text enqueue changes against the current match without rewinding or invalidating the scan, so a single left-to-right pass can edit multiple tokens (e.g. a tag's attributes and a later element's text) in one walk."

Truncation done with mb_strlen/mb_substr in correct UTF-8 — counts code points correctly, never cuts a multibyte char.

The failure (4/9) is a generic mbstring bug outside the two docs' scope: passes 'UTF-32BE' as the encoding to mb_strlen/mb_substr. That argument declares how the INPUT string is interpreted, not the counting unit; the input is UTF-8, so 'café' is measured as 1 code unit (5 bytes / ~4). token_codepoints is then almost always <= remaining, so the truncation branch never fires and full text is emitted (actual='Just a link to content.' etc.). Only cases that never needed truncation passed. Adherence stays moderate-high because the HTML-API usage is correct and idiomatic; the defect is in standard-library Unicode handling the experiment's docs don't cover. The candidate's own comment ('mb_strlen with UTF-32BE counts code points') is the misconception."

+  "failure_analysis": "All failures are confined to trial-3 (cases truncate-mid-link, entities-count-decoded, multibyte-emoji, accented). Root cause: misuse of PHP's mbstring encoding argument, NOT a misunderstanding of the HTML API. The candidate wrote mb_strlen($text,'UTF-32BE') and mb_substr($text,0,$n,'UTF-32BE') believing the encoding name selects 'count by code point.' In reality the encoding argument tells mbstring how to DECODE the byte string; the actual bytes are UTF-8, so reinterpreting them as UTF-32BE yields a near-meaningless small count (e.g. mb_strlen('café','UTF-32BE')===1, verified). With token_codepoints understated, the condition token_codepoints<=remaining is essentially always true, the else/truncate branch is never taken, and the function returns the entire concatenated text. Hence every case that required truncation failed while no-truncation, zero-limit, script-excluded, inter-element-whitespace, and malformed-nesting (all of which needed no cut) passed. Trials 1 and 2 used the correct UTF-8 encoding and passed everything.\\n\\nNo HTML-API misconception was responsible for any failure, and no _doing_it_wrong records were emitted in any trial. The HTML-specific behaviors the task probes were all handled correctly by every trial: (1) decoded text — get_modifiable_text() returns decoded character references for #text nodes, documented at html-processor.md lines 2077 ('the returned text is DECODED ... Do not decode it again') and the Tag Processor file lines 291, so 'Fish &amp;' correctly became 'Fish &' and was counted as decoded; (2) script/style exclusion — documented at html-processor.md lines 2079 ('the text is carried by the ELEMENT's own token — there is no separate #text child to visit') and html-tag-processor.md lines 133-135/285-293, so a #text-only filter naturally drops SCRIPT/STYLE contents; (3) malformed nesting — both processors tokenize '<div><p>one<p>two</div>tail' to 'onetwotail' (verified), and even the structure-unaware Tag Processor gets text extraction right here; (4) inter-element whitespace preserved as a #text token. The docs were sufficient and accurate for the HTML portion of every trial.\\n\\nNear-miss in the explanations: trial-3's response.json confidently asserts \\\"using mb_strlen()/mb_substr() with the 'UTF-32BE' encoding ... operates on code points rather than bytes\\\" — a fluent but false justification of the very bug that sank it. Trial-2 chose the Tag Processor against the doc's steer (html-processor.md line 81 lists 'collecting an element's text' under the HTML Processor) yet reported the highest confidence (85); it happened to be safe only because these inputs don't trigger foster-parenting or other constructs where the two processors diverge.",

Two minor deductions: (1) the is_tag_closer() guard after next_tag('A') is dead code — next_tag defaults to skipping closers (documented at next_tag tag_closers='skip'), so this guard never fires; (2) the text walk splits the documented `>=` boundary idiom into separate `< break` and `> collect` conditions.

All three trials passed 8/8 with zero _doing_it_wrong and zero trigger_error records across every case, and every method called by every candidate is present in the two markdown files (verified by grep: create_fragment, next_tag in both string and array forms, is_tag_closer, get_attribute, get_current_depth, next_token, get_token_type, get_token_name, get_modifiable_text). This task is a clean documentation success, so the analysis is of what the docs did well plus near-misses.\n\nWhat the docs did well — the three load-bearing facts this task hinges on are each documented precisely enough that all three subjects, independently, got them right:\n\n1. The subtree-text-walk idiom. html-processor.md's next_token section (lines 614-646) and the get_current_depth heading (lines 842-909) spell out the exact pattern: record get_current_depth() at the opener, then `while ( next_token() && get_current_depth() >= $depth )`, and they explicitly warn that `>=` (not `>`) is required because nested-element closers report a depth no less than the container's (line 901: 'Writing > instead would end the walk early, at the first closer of a direct child'). Trials 2 and 3 copied this idiom verbatim; trial 1 reconstructed an equivalent form. This single passage is responsible for the simple, image-link-empty-text, and entities-in-text cases all passing.\n\n2. The null/true/'' attribute trichotomy. html-tag-processor.md lines 89-90 state get_attribute returns null when the attribute is absent, '' when present-but-empty, and true for boolean (valueless) attributes. This directly produced correct results for no-href-excluded (null -> continue), valueless-href (true preserved as-is), and confirmed get_attribute returns decoded values for entity-in-href-decoded.\n\n3. Decoded text and the closer-for-every-opener guarantee. The get_modifiable_text contract (subjects relied on it returning decoded text, passing entities-in-text -> 'Fish & Chips') and the next_token guarantee at line 616 ('Walking code can rely on seeing a closer for every opener even in malformed input') made the unclosed-link case pass without any special handling.\n\nNear-misses (in the explanations, not the code):\n- Trial 1's self-reported confidence was 45 — the lowest of the three despite an identical 8/8 outcome. Its explanation is sound but the subject was clearly uncertain about whether the split `< break` / `> collect` depth conditions were correct. The docs present only the unified `>=` loop form; they do not show or bless the equivalent split-condition variant, which is why a subject who deviated from the canonical pattern could not self-verify and reported low confidence.\n- Trial 1's redundant is_tag_closer() guard after next_tag('A') suggests the subject did not fully internalize that next_tag defaults to skipping closers. The default tag_closers='skip' is documented in the next_tag $query table but is easy to miss; the prose around next_tag never states plainly 'closers are skipped by default,' so a cautious subject adds a defensive guard.\n- All three subjects ignored get_breadcrumbs even though it offers an arguably clearer containment test (the docs even show `in_array('LI', get_breadcrumbs(), true)` at line 646 as an alternative to depth-walking). This is not a failure, but indicates the depth idiom is the more discoverable of the two parallel patterns; the breadcrumbs alternative reads as a footnote.",

+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::next_tag() — $query table / surrounding prose (html-tag-processor.md)",

The prose introducing next_tag never states plainly that next_tag visits only openers. A cautious subject (trial 1) added a redundant is_tag_closer() guard after next_tag('A') because the default was not obvious, producing dead code.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to the next_tag prose: 'By default next_tag() stops only on tag openers; tag closers are skipped unless you pass tag_closers => \"visit\".' This is a general fact that prevents defensive over-coding in any tag-matching loop."

A subject who instead writes a separate exit condition (`if depth < N break`) and a separate text-collection condition (`if depth > N collect`) — which is equivalent — has no statement in the docs confirming that text/content inside an element always reports a depth STRICTLY GREATER than the opener's. Trial 1 wrote exactly this variant and reported the lowest confidence (45) despite passing, unable to self-verify.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one explicit invariant near the depth example: 'An element opened at depth N reports depth N at its opener and N-1 at its own closer; every token strictly inside it — child openers, text, comments — reports a depth greater than N.' Stating the strict-greater-than relation for interior content (not just the >= loop-boundary rule) lets readers verify equivalent walk formulations."

All three subjects defaulted to the depth idiom and none considered breadcrumbs, suggesting the breadcrumbs alternative reads as an afterthought.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a one-line tradeoff note: depth-walking is cheapest and sufficient when collecting an element's own subtree from its opener; the breadcrumbs membership test is clearer when you re-enter a walk mid-document or need to test ancestry by tag name rather than by recorded depth. This generalizes beyond this task to any structural-traversal decision."

The three subjects converged on the canonical solution (WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment, walk P tags with next_tag, test get_breadcrumbs for 'BLOCKQUOTE', add_class('quoted'), return get_updated_html).\n\nWhat the docs did well: (1) The 'Which processor should I use?' framing in both files steered all subjects to the structure-aware WP_HTML_Processor rather than the flat Tag Processor — the tag-processor.md note that get_breadcrumbs 'do not exist on this class — they belong to WP_HTML_Processor' plus the html-processor 'Querying based on nested HTML structure' bullet made the choice unambiguous. (2) The get_breadcrumbs example (L829-831) showing array('HTML','BODY','P','STRONG','EM','IMG') and the Breadcrumbs section (L48-72) explaining that breadcrumbs are a full ancestor path including implicit HTML/BODY directly modeled the in_array('BLOCKQUOTE', ...) containment check, including the 'anywhere above, not only direct parent' requirement. (3) The 'Supported markup' bullet 'HTML with optional tags omitted, e.g. <p>one<p>two' (L97) reassured subjects the implicitly-closed-paragraphs case would parse correctly under the HTML Processor — and it did, because the processor re-opens the second P inside the same blockquote. (4) add_class semantics in tag-processor.md (L184-217) made the existing-class-preserved case (lead -> 'lead quoted') a non-issue; nobody hand-built a class string. (5) create_fragment returning static|null (L383) prompted every subject to add the null guard.\n\nNear-misses in reasoning (not failures): All three test the FULL breadcrumb array (which includes the matched P as its last element) rather than slicing off self as the reference does with array_slice(get_breadcrumbs(), 0, -1). This is correct only by the accident that the search target 'BLOCKQUOTE' is structurally distinct from the queried element 'P', so self-inclusion can never yield a false positive. None of the explanations show awareness that breadcrumbs include the matched node itself — they describe breadcrumbs purely as the 'ancestor chain'/'ancestor stack'/'ancestor path', which is subtly wrong. A variant task (e.g. 'mark every P that has a P ancestor', or 'mark every DIV inside a DIV') would have broken this same code, because in_array would match the element's own name. The docs are partly responsible: get_breadcrumbs (L815-840) says breadcrumbs 'descend toward the matched element' and the example includes the matched IMG as the final entry, but the prose never states explicitly that the matched element itself is the last breadcrumb, nor warns that ancestor-only checks must exclude it. The Breadcrumbs section (L56) likewise frames breadcrumbs as a query path, not as 'ancestors + self'.",

Readers describe breadcrumbs as the 'ancestor chain', which is off-by-one: it is ancestors PLUS self. Code that tests for an ancestor by the same tag name as the matched element (e.g. a P inside a P, a DIV inside a DIV) would get a false positive because the element's own name is in the array.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one explicit sentence: 'The returned array includes the matched element itself as the final entry; the preceding entries are its ancestors from the root down.' Then add a short note for ancestor-only containment checks: to ask 'does this node have an ancestor named X', exclude the last element first (e.g. array_slice(get_breadcrumbs(), 0, -1)), otherwise a node whose own tag name is X will match itself."

Subjects used three different spellings (string 'P', array('tag_name'=>'P'), and one with a leading-backslash class name) and had to guess they were equivalent.",
+      "suggestion": "In the next_tag parameter block, add a one-line example row showing the three equivalent simple-name spellings — next_tag('P'), next_tag(array('tag_name'=>'P')) — so readers do not have to infer the string shorthand from the base class.

Cleanly handles empty cells (cell text inits to ''), decoded entities, first-table-only (breaks on table exit), no-table (returns array()).

Correctly relies on get_breadcrumbs reading the same on openers, text nodes, and closers (documented line 686 / 646). Decoded text via get_modifiable_text.

The closer of an element reports a depth one less than its opener (is_tag_closer note, html-processor.md line 686), so `</THEAD>` reports depth 3 == table_depth (3). The `<=` break fires on `</THEAD>`, terminating the walk before the TBODY rows. Result: thead-tbody returns only [['H']] instead of three rows (fails 1/8). The reference and the next_token example both continue while `depth >= table_depth`; the docs even warn (lines 639-641) that the wrong boundary 'would end this walk at the first nested closer ... and silently drop the trailing text.' This candidate hit exactly that trap via an inverted, off-by-one boundary. Text accumulation, entity decoding, empty cells, and no-table are all handled correctly; the single defect is the depth boundary."

Trials 1 and 2 passed all 8.\n\nMisconception (trial-3): the loop terminates with `if ( $current_depth <= $table_depth ) break;`. The candidate assumed that any token at or below the TABLE opener's depth means 'outside the table.' That is false for tag CLOSERS of intermediate sections. Probe confirms the depth sequence for `<table><thead><tr><th>H</th></tr></thead><tbody>...`: TABLE opens at depth 3; the `</THEAD>` closer reports depth 3, equal to the TABLE opener's depth, because is_tag_closer pops the element before reporting (a closer reports its parent context, one less than its opener). So the `<=` guard fires on `</THEAD>` and the walk dies before ever reaching the TBODY rows 'a' and 'b'. The correct guard is to continue while `depth >= table_depth` (reference uses exactly this) and break only on `depth < table_depth`; under that rule `</THEAD>` at depth 3 keeps the walk alive and it ends correctly on `</TABLE>` at depth 2. Trials 1 (`depth < table_depth → break`) and 2 (breadcrumb `in_array('TABLE', …)`) both used a correct guard and passed.\n\nResponsible documentation: the next_token() example (html-processor.md lines 622-647) and the is_tag_closer note (line 686). The is_tag_closer note correctly states that a closer 'reports a depth one less than its opener did,' and the next_token example correctly demonstrates and justifies the `>= $depth_inside_li` boundary, explicitly warning that the wrong boundary 'would end this walk at the first nested closer ... and silently drop the trailing text.' So the fact needed to avoid the bug IS documented. The gap is one of salience/transferability: (1) the worked example walks a leaf-ish LI whose only intermediate closer is a deeper child (`</strong>`); it never shows a closer that pops back to the SAME depth as the anchor's opener — which is exactly the table/thead/tbody situation and the trap trial-3 fell into. (2) The warning is framed only for the `>=` vs `>` direction; trial-3 wrote the inverted `<= break` form and the docs never present the break-form boundary, so the reader has to derive that `break` must use strict `<`, not `<=`. The combination — an example without a same-depth sibling-section closer, plus a warning phrased only for one comparison direction — let an off-by-one boundary slip through.\n\nNear-misses in explanations: all three response.json explanations correctly state that get_modifiable_text returns already-decoded text and that next_token visits closers for implicitly/optionally closed elements. Trial-3's explanation even claims 'get_current_depth() ensures we stop when exiting the table' and cites breadcrumbs — but the code computes breadcrumbs and never uses them for the exit decision, relying solely on the faulty depth comparison; the self-reported confidence (45) was appropriately the lowest of the three.",

This is a phantom-method mention in the writeup (and lowest self-reported confidence, 45), signaling mild conflation of the static normalize() path with the token-by-token serialization path.

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed in any trial: all three trials passed all 8 cases (24/24 total), with zero _doing_it_wrong and zero trigger_error records. All three converged on essentially the canonical reference solution.\n\nWhat the docs did well (why this task was a clean sweep):\n\n1. Processor selection was unambiguous. Both files steer structure-sensitive, normalizing tasks to WP_HTML_Processor: html-tag-processor.md line 24 ('Use the HTML PROCESSOR when structure matters ... or producing normalized output') and html-processor.md line 81 ('Choose it whenever document STRUCTURE matters ... normalizing markup'). Every subject picked create_fragment correctly with the default BODY context, which the task requires ('as found inside <body>').\n\n2. The serialize_token() section (html-processor.md lines 1013-1042) is the decisive passage. It spells out the exact idiom this task needs: 'Walking every token with next_token and concatenating serialize_token() for each one reconstructs the normalized serialization ... a rewriting loop can transform the document while serializing ... emit extra markup around them to insert wrappers,' plus a worked loop example (lines 1029-1039). All three subjects reproduced this idiom faithfully, which is why the unclosed-tag normalization case (simple-unclosed) and the heavy normalization-side-effects case both passed without the subjects writing any normalization logic themselves.\n\n3. The decoded-text semantics that drive entity-encoded-keyword-matches were explicit. html-processor.md line 2077 ('For #text nodes ... the returned text is DECODED ... Do not decode it again') told subjects that get_modifiable_text() already decodes 'w&#111;rld' to 'world', so a plain substring match works. None of them double-decoded or matched against raw source.\n\n4. Token-type filtering was modeled directly in shared examples (html-tag-processor.md lines 173-174, html-processor.md lines 629-630: \\\"if ( '#text' === $processor->get_token_type() )\\\"), which all subjects copied. This automatically excluded comments and attribute values (keyword-in-comment-not-wrapped, keyword-in-attribute-not-wrapped) because attribute/comment content is never a #text token's modifiable text.\n\n5. Case sensitivity and the split-across-elements non-match are emergent from a plain str-contains on a single token's text; nothing in the docs misled subjects into normalizing case or stitching adjacent tokens, so case-sensitive and split-across-elements-no-match passed.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations (not in code): trial-3 attributes the formatting to 'The normalize() method' though its code never calls normalize(); trial-2 says serialize_token() 'automatically handles normalization of the entire document.' Both reflect a real conflation risk between the static normalize()/serialize() whole-string path and the per-token serialize_token() path. The docs cross-reference these heavily (serialize_token note at lines 1023 and 1039 mention serialize(); normalize() and serialize() sections cross-link), and a subject skimming could believe a single normalization call is doing the work rather than the token loop. It did not cause a code failure here, but it is the one observable comprehension wobble.",

+      "problem": "The section thoroughly explains the walk-and-concatenate-to-reconstruct idiom but only states the negative invariant in prose ('Closing tokens of skipped elements must be skipped too'). It never states the positive invariant that makes wrapping safe: when you EMIT extra markup around a token (rather than dropping it) you must serialize that same token unchanged and visit/serialize every other token normally, so the surrounding structure stays balanced. Subjects got this right by analogy, but the doc leaves the 'insert a wrapper' case underspecified compared to the 'drop a token' case.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence distinguishing the two transform modes already named in the text: 'To DROP a token, skip its serialize_token() call (and the matching closer for elements). To WRAP or ANNOTATE a token, still call serialize_token() for it and emit your extra markup immediately before/after; do not omit or duplicate the token itself.'

The three sections cross-reference each other densely, but none states crisply that the token-loop and the whole-string calls are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE entry points (whole-string serialize()/normalize() require a processor that has not begun scanning; serialize_token() is the only normalizing serializer available once next_token() has been called). A reader can come away thinking a normalize() call is happening implicitly inside the loop.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short 'Choosing a serializer' note (or a line in each section) such as: 'Pick exactly one path. Before any next_token()/next_tag(), normalize()/serialize() produce the whole normalized string. Once scanning has started, those return null and the per-token serialize_token() concatenation is the only way to produce normalized output — there is no separate normalize step running inside the loop.'

A reader consulting only the Tag Processor doc could miss that #text is already decoded and might re-decode or match against source bytes.",
+      "suggestion": "Mirror the explicit one-line decoded/raw contrast from html-processor.md line 2077 into the html-tag-processor.md get_modifiable_text() section, and surface it as a short bolded 'Decoded vs raw' callout in both rather than a mid-paragraph sentence, so substring/equality checks against modifiable text are known to operate on decoded characters."

This directly contradicts set_bookmark()'s explicit guidance to 'only be created with string-literal names' and to 'avoid creating mark_{$index}', and ignores the documented simpler idiom (re-setting the same name moves the bookmark) which solves exactly this 'last X' problem.

This conflates three distinct concepts — tag closers, HTML comments, and matching. next_tag('h2') defaults to skipping closers and never matches comment content at all (verified: matches=1 on '<h2>x</h2>', never a closer), so the guard is a dead no-op resting on a misunderstanding of both is_tag_closer() and next_tag's comment handling.

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed 6/6, so this analyzes near-misses and how the docs steered (or failed to steer) behavior.\n\nWhat the docs did well: (1) The 'comment-h2-not-counted' case was passed by all three without any manual comment-skipping logic, because next_tag()'s 'What this matches' bullets state plainly that 'Tag-like text inside comments... is text, not tags, and is never matched or modified.' This documentation directly prevented over-engineered comment filtering. (2) The 'existing-class' case passed because the add_class section's worked examples show class appending to an existing class attribute, so no subject tried to read-modify-write the class attribute manually. (3) The core 'last H2' algorithm was nailed by trials 1 and 3 because set_bookmark()'s docblock contains an explicit, on-point passage: 'Setting a bookmark with a name that is already in use MOVES that bookmark to the current location... Re-setting the same name on every match is the supported idiom for remembering the last X seen so far... This is how to track the last occurrence of something in a single pass.' That paragraph is essentially the solution template, and it worked.\n\nNear-miss 1 (trial-2): Despite the explicit 're-set the same name' guidance and the explicit warning against programmatic names ('avoid creating mark_{$index}', 'only... string-literal names'), the subject still reached for uniqid()-generated names plus per-iteration release. The guidance is present but is buried in a long prose block; the anti-pattern warning and the positive idiom are several sentences apart, and there is no compact 'track the last match' code recipe a skimming model can lift. The subject evidently read enough to use bookmarks correctly but not enough to internalize the naming/idiom guidance.\n\nNear-miss 2 (trial-3): The dead is_tag_closer() guard with a comment about comments shows the subject conflated 'tag closer' with 'comment' and was unsure whether next_tag() skips closers by default. The next_tag() $query docs do state tag_closers defaults to 'skip', but only inside a dense inline @type blob in the parameter table; there is no prose sentence or example stating 'by default next_tag() visits only openers, never closers.' is_tag_closer()'s own heading in the Tag Processor doc has no description text at all (only the method index line), so a subject has no place to learn that closers are irrelevant here. The subject hedged with a no-op rather than trusting the default.\n\nNo misconception caused an actual failure; the documentation's targeted bookmark/comment passages were strong enough to produce correct output in all trials. The residual issues are idiomaticity (trial-2) and a harmless dead guard from under-documented defaults (trial-3).",

Trial-2 read the section, used bookmarks correctly, yet still chose uniqid()-generated names with per-iteration release — the exact anti-pattern the prose warns against.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short, self-contained code example immediately adjacent to the 'MOVES that bookmark' sentence showing the full last-occurrence loop with a single literal name: `while ( $p->next_tag('X') ) { $p->set_bookmark('last-x'); } if ( $p->has_bookmark('last-x') ) { $p->seek('last-x'); ... }`.

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed 9/9. This task is effectively solved by a single documented call (WP_HTML_Processor::normalize), and the docs surfaced it cleanly, so the subjects converged on the reference solution or its documented per-instance equivalent (create_fragment + serialize).\n\nWhat the docs did well:\n1. Processor selection was unambiguous. The 'Which processor should I use?' section in html-tag-processor.md and the 'Supported elements' section in html-processor.md both explicitly route 'producing normalized output' / 'normalizing markup' to the HTML Processor and away from the Tag Processor. No subject mistakenly reached for the Tag Processor.\n2. normalize() docblock (html-processor.md, 'normalize()') gives a precise, enumerated list of exactly the transformations this task depends on: attribute values double-quoted, omitted tags added, tag/attribute case lowered, text re-encoded with entity handling, and 'unable to normalize' -> null. The worked examples ('<div></p>fun<table>...' and the CDATA example) make the all-or-nothing null-on-failure contract concrete. Trials 1 and 3 lifted this directly.\n3. The cross-references between normalize(), serialize(), and 'Supported elements'/get_last_error gave trial-2 a correct alternative path. The serialize() docblock's insistence that it be called on a fresh, unscanned processor and returns null on failure prevented the classic mistake of calling next_token() first or confusing serialize() with get_updated_html().\n4. The 'Mis-nested formatting elements' bullet under 'Supported elements' ('<b>one<i>two</b>three</i>') is the exact misnesting-unsupported-false case, and the docs state the processor aborts early and output methods return null. This directly produced the correct false on the one genuinely tricky case.\n\nNear-misses / observations in the explanations:\n- The internal serialize() trigger_error ('Cannot serialize HTML Processor with parsing error: unsupported.', level 512) fired in every trial on the misnesting case. No candidate caused or anticipated this; it is emitted inside normalize()/serialize() when the parser bails. None of the explanations mention that normalize() returning null on unsupported markup is accompanied by an internal E_USER_WARNING, because the docs do not mention it. Benign here (the function still returns the correct false), but a caller in a strict-error environment could be surprised.\n- No trial reasoned explicitly about why attribute-order-differs must return false. They relied (correctly) on normalize() preserving source attribute order rather than sorting it. The normalize() docblock lists what changes during normalization but does not state that attribute ORDER is preserved, so this correct outcome rested on an unstated assumption rather than documented fact. It happened to be right, but it was a near-miss in reasoning rigor.\n- Trial-2's defensive null-check on create_fragment() is slightly over-cautious for the BODY context (which is always supported), reflecting that the docs describe create_fragment as returning static|null without clarifying that, with the default body context and UTF-8, creation failure is essentially impossible. Harmless but indicates mild uncertainty the docs could resolve.",
+  "doc_gaps": [
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::normalize() and WP_HTML_Processor::serialize() (html-processor.md)",
+      "problem": "Both docblocks list what changes during normalization (quoting, case, omitted tags, encoding) but never state what is PRESERVED. In particular, source attribute order is preserved (not sorted), which is what makes two fragments differing only in attribute order normalize to different strings. A reader comparing normalized output for equality cannot tell from the docs whether attribute order is significant.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short 'What is preserved' note to the normalization behavior list: original attribute order within a tag is kept as written, and only the first of duplicate attributes is retained. State explicitly that two tags with the same attributes in a different order normalize to different strings. This generalizes to any equality/diff use of normalized output."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::normalize() / serialize() — return value section (html-processor.md)",

Every trial silently triggered this warning on unsupported input. A caller that escalates warnings to exceptions, or runs under a strict error handler, would break even though null is the documented and expected signal.",
+      "suggestion": "Note in the Returns section that, in addition to returning null, encountering unsupported markup raises an internal warning, and that the null return value is the supported way to detect failure (check the return value rather than suppressing the warning). Optionally cross-reference get_last_error()/get_unsupported_exception() for diagnosing why it returned null."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment() — Returns section (html-processor.md)",

Since the only supported context is <body> and the only supported encoding is UTF-8, creation effectively never fails for valid calls. This ambiguity led a subject to add a defensive null-check that, while harmless, signals uncertainty the docs could remove.",
+      "suggestion": "Clarify when create_fragment returns null: when the requested context or encoding is unsupported (anything other than the default <body> / UTF-8). Make clear that with the default arguments a non-null processor is always returned, so per-token failure handling belongs on serialize()/next_token(), not on construction."

+      "problem": "Two equivalent paths exist for whole-fragment normalization (the static normalize() and the instance create_fragment()->serialize()). The serialize() and normalize() docblocks cross-reference each other but never state plainly that, for a default-context body fragment, the two produce identical output and normalize() is the simpler choice. Subjects split between the two without documented guidance on which to prefer.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to the normalize() docblock: for a body-context fragment, normalize($html) is exactly equivalent to create_fragment($html)->serialize() and is the preferred one-call form; reach for create_fragment()+serialize() only when a non-default context/encoding is needed or when token-by-token rewriting is required (serialize_token)."

The task is therefore a documentation success story, and the analysis is of what the docs did well plus near-misses.\n\nWhat the docs did well: The `serialize_token()` section in html-processor.md (lines 1013-1042) carries a directly transferable worked example — 'Remove every SUP element but keep its contents' — that is structurally identical to this unwrap-spans task (substitute SPAN for SUP). It states the two non-obvious facts that make the naive approach correct: (1) 'continue' on a tag match 'Skips both the opener and the closer', and (2) 'Closing tokens of skipped elements must be skipped too.' Trials 2 and 3 reproduced this pattern almost verbatim and were correct. The accompanying prose ('Walking every token ... and concatenating serialize_token() for each one reconstructs the normalized serialization of the input — the same output that serialize() produces in a single call') is what tells subjects no extra normalize() pass is needed. The token-walking example also uses get_tag() as the only guard, implicitly teaching that get_tag() is null-safe on non-tag tokens (probe confirms #text => null), which is why trials 2/3 could skip a get_token_type() check.\n\nNear-misses in explanations / minor weaknesses:\n1. Trial 1's redundant final normalize() and is_tag_closer()/depth bookkeeping. The doc example demonstrates that neither is needed, but the subject still added them. The serialize_token() prose says the concatenation 'reconstructs the normalized serialization', yet a reader can still doubt whether the per-token output is *already* normalized (vs. needing a final pass). The idempotency guarantee — that re-normalizing already-serialized output is a no-op — is implied but never stated, leaving room for the defensive double-normalize. No section ties together that serialize_token() output for the whole walk == serialize() == normalize(serialize_token-walk).\n2. The null-parse contract. create_fragment()'s docs (lines 381-383) say it returns null 'otherwise', and the body explains the only failure modes are unsupported context/encoding — but it does not prescribe what a caller should *return* in that case, nor make clear that null does NOT occur for ordinary malformed HTML (the parser handles `<div></p>fun<table>` etc. fine). Trials 2/3 returned the raw un-normalized $html on null, which would violate a 'normalized output' contract had the path been exercised. This is a latent correctness gap the suite happened not to test.",

+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to the serialize_token() / serialize() discussion making idempotency explicit, e.g. 'The concatenated output is already fully normalized; passing it to normalize() or serialize() again produces an identical string, so no second normalization pass is needed.'"

It is easy to assume malformed or incomplete HTML yields null, when in fact the parser handles malformed input (it only returns null for unsupported context/encoding). This leaves callers unsure what to return on the null branch, and some return raw un-normalized input, violating a normalized-output contract.",
+      "suggestion": "Clarify the failure conditions: state that null is returned only when the requested context or encoding is unsupported (not for malformed or incomplete HTML, which is parsed and normalized normally), and note that on null there is no parsed document to serialize, so callers wanting normalized output should not fall back to returning the raw input."

Subject: [PATCH 030/193] HTML API docs round 9 hypotheses: the shared cursor,
 and surfacing the last-X bookmark idiom.

T08's recurring failure class is nested walk loops double-advancing
the single cursor: the inner collect-until-close loop exits already
matched on the next region's boundary token, which the outer loop's
next_token() then skips. Document the one-cursor contract on
next_token() with the closer-driven single-pass state-machine shape
(verified DT example), noting it stays reliable on malformed input
because closers are always visited. Also surface the
re-set-the-same-bookmark-name idiom in the overview bookmarks
narrative where T10 trials kept missing it.

Subject: [PATCH 031/193] HTML API docs round 9, hypothesis 2: surface the
 last-X bookmark idiom in the bookmarks narrative.

Follow-up to 2b1b6d3605 (the patch missed its anchor there): T10
trials keep re-deriving the remember-the-last-match pattern; place a
pointer at the top of the bookmarks narrative where readers arrive
first, ahead of the naming rules they currently stop at.

+## Round 8 — Haiku, UTF-8 fix lands; T08 isolated as the last functional gap
+
+**Train 97.70 — new high.** T05 +14.0 → 99.3 (UTF-8/mb-encoding
+statement); T07 at 100; T01 produced the experiment's first EMPTY
+judge gap list (smoke task fully saturated). Only T08 weak (78.1,
+traversal 91.3): failing trials nest collect-until-close loops which
+double-advance the single shared cursor — the inner loop exits already
+matched on the next region's boundary token and the outer loop's
+next_token() skips it (second cell of each row dropped, rows lost).
+
+Round-9 hypotheses (committed): the one-cursor contract on
+next_token() with a verified closer-driven single-pass state-machine
+example (DT terms from a DL); the last-X bookmark idiom surfaced at
+the top of the bookmarks narrative (T10).
+
 ## Round 7 — Haiku, RCDATA + drain idioms land

Edge cases handled via the processor's token model. Confidence 92."

All three trials passed all 9 hidden cases and all three are functionally identical to reference.php: construct a WP_HTML_Tag_Processor, drain every token with `while ( $processor->next_token() ) { continue; }`, then return `paused_at_incomplete_token()`. \n\nWhy the docs succeeded here: the `paused_at_incomplete_token()` section in html-tag-processor.md (lines 1015-1047) does three things that map exactly onto the task's three subtle requirements. (1) Its one-line summary ('paused because the input HTML document ended in the middle of a syntax element, such as in the middle of a tag') directly states the lexical-incompleteness semantics the task asks about. (2) It provides the short example (lines 1026-1028) showing `next_tag()` returning false while the predicate returns true for a tag cut mid-attribute — covering the cut-inside-attribute case. (3) Critically, lines 1031-1039 spell out the longer-document idiom: 'drain all tokens first; this method reports the state at the point scanning stopped ... only after the processor has scanned to the end of the input,' followed by the exact while-loop-then-check snippet. This pre-empts the single most likely failure mode (querying the predicate before reaching EOF, or after a single next_tag/next_token that stops early on the first incomplete token rather than scanning to the document end). The `next_token()` section (line 250-onward, 962) supplied the token-walking primitive and made clear it takes no argument and scans every lexical token.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations, not the code: trial-3's explanation claims next_token() 'returns false and the processor pauses' when it 'encounters incomplete tokens at the end of input.' This conflates two distinct things — next_token() returns false at the natural end of input regardless of completeness; the *pause* state is what distinguishes a clean end from a truncated one, and that is only surfaced via paused_at_incomplete_token(). The behavior is correct in code (the predicate is checked separately), but the verbal model is imprecise. Trials 1 and 2 describe the mechanism accurately, including the lexical-vs-structural-completeness distinction that the task hinges on (unclosed <div> is structurally open but lexically complete => false). None of these imprecisions affected output. The docs left essentially no room for error on this task; the doc author's decision to embed the drain-then-check idiom inside the predicate's own docblock is the decisive factor.",

+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::next_token() — Returns / Description (html-tag-processor.md, ~line 962-996)",
+      "problem": "The next_token() docblock describes finding 'the next token' but does not state what a false return value means at the boundary, specifically that false is returned both when the document is cleanly exhausted AND when it ends mid-token. This ambiguity is what produced trial-3's imprecise mental model ('next_token() ... returns false and the processor pauses [on] incomplete tokens'). A reader could wrongly infer that false alone signals truncation.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to the Returns description: 'Returns false once no further token can be read — this happens both at the clean end of the document and when the input ends in the middle of a token. To distinguish the two, call paused_at_incomplete_token() after the loop.' This generalizes the EOF-vs-truncation distinction without encoding any specific task."

+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::paused_at_incomplete_token() (html-tag-processor.md, ~line 1015-1047)",

A lone trailing '<', plain text, an empty string, and an unclosed-but-complete element (<div>text) all return false, yet a naive reader might expect 'unclosed' content to count as incomplete. The task explicitly tested this boundary; the docs happened to support correct behavior because the method is purely lexical, but the distinction is left implicit.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a brief note enumerating what does NOT count as incomplete: 'This reports lexical incompleteness only. A document is not paused-at-incomplete merely because an element is left open (e.g. \"<div>text\") or because it ends in plain text or a bare \"<\" — those are complete tokens. It is true only when the final token itself was cut off (a partial tag, an unterminated comment, or an unclosed special element such as SCRIPT/STYLE whose contents run to EOF).' This states the general rule rather than the task's answers."

Correctly guards the create_fragment null return AND relies on serialize() null-on-failure.

This is precisely the equivalent the docs describe at line 920 ('create_fragment ... and call serialize'). Slightly less concise than the single-call normalize() helper that the task is essentially asking for, but no API misuse and fully idiomatic. Passed 7/7.

+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed in any trial: all three passed 7/7. The documentation was decisive for this task and the subjects used it well.\n\nWhat the docs did well: The class-overview passage (html-processor.md line 83-84) states the core contract directly — 'If any unsupported markup appears ... the HTML Processor will abort early' and 'methods which produce output (such as serialize() and normalize()) return null.' This single sentence is exactly the signal the task needs, and it appears at the top of the file where subjects would read it before the method tables. The normalize() and serialize() method headings each restate the return contract crisply ('string|null - Normalized output, or null if unable to normalize'), so trials 1/2 reading normalize() and trial 3 reading serialize() both arrived at the same correct null-check. The task's three illustrative examples also align with documented normalize() examples (line 938-946), reinforcing that malformed-but-supported markup normalizes while unsupported misnesting does not.\n\nThe adoption-agency case (`<b>one<i>two</b>three</i>`, expected false) emitted a trigger_error: 'Cannot serialize HTML Processor with parsing error: unsupported.' (level 512 / E_USER_NOTICE). This is NOT candidate misuse — it is the documented internal mechanism by which serialize()/normalize() report unsupported input before returning null (line 84). No `doing_it_wrong` records appear, and the returned value (false) is correct in all three trials. A naive reader could mistake this notice for a bug in their code, but none of the subjects did.\n\nNear-miss in the explanations: All three confidently asserted that normalize()/serialize() 'returns null when normalization fails due to unsupported markup,' which is accurate. None mentioned the trigger_error / E_USER_NOTICE side effect, which a production caller might want to suppress (the failure path is noisy). That's a small gap in their mental model rather than a correctness problem, and it stems from the docs not mentioning that the null return is accompanied by a _doing_it_wrong/trigger_error notice. Trial 3's explanation slightly over-claims that create_fragment 'creation' could fail for this input ('If the processor creation fails, it returns false') — in practice create_fragment only returns null for unsupported context/encoding, not for misnested body content, so that guard never fires for these cases; harmless but reflects mild uncertainty about which stage produces the null.\"",

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden case failed in any trial: all three trials passed all 7 cases (21/21). The docs were sufficient for a fully correct solution, and the experiment therefore yields a near-miss analysis rather than a failure analysis.\n\nWhat the docs did well: (1) The WP_HTML_Processor Overview and \"Which processor should I use?\" (html-tag-processor.md:18-25, html-processor.md:74-92) steered every subject to the HTML Processor for namespace/structure-sensitive work — the right call, since the SVG-vs-HTML distinction and the <image>->IMG rename only exist in the structure-aware processor. (2) get_namespace() is documented with its exact return set ('html'/'svg'/'math'), so subjects had a documented, correct tool to distinguish foreign content; all three used it correctly. (3) get_attribute()'s null/true/'' contract — split between the HTML Processor section (boolean-true return) and the richer Tag Processor section (html-tag-processor.md:89-90, decoded values + empty-string semantics at 1490-1491) — let trials 2 and 3 handle every attribute return value precisely.\n\nThe single shared near-miss is conceptual, not functional. All three subjects added a get_namespace() === 'html' filter to exclude the SVG <image>. That filter is REDUNDANT: a browser parses the SVG element as IMAGE (a different name) in the svg namespace, so next_tag('IMG') already excludes it by name; the canonical reference (reference.php) uses next_tag('IMG') with no namespace check and passes. The subjects reached for namespace-filtering because nothing in the docs tells them that (a) the SVG element is named IMAGE not IMG, or (b) that HTML <image> is renamed to IMG, or (c) that an <img> nested in <svg> breaks out of foreign content and becomes an html IMG. The get_tag() docblock (html-processor.md:1719) states only abstractly that 'certain tags be reprocessed with a different tag name' with no example. Had a concrete example been present, subjects would likely have understood that tag-name matching alone is correct and that the extra namespace guard, while harmless here, is unnecessary. Because the guard happens to be correct, no test caught the gap — but it reveals the subjects did not fully understand WHY the exclusion works.\n\nOne latent correctness risk surfaced only in trial-1: it guards src with `null !== $src && '' !== $src` but omits a check for the boolean-true return that get_attribute documents (an attribute written as a bare `src` with no value returns true, not a string). The reference guards with is_string(). No hidden case uses a valueless src attribute, so trial-1 passed, but this is a direct consequence of the HTML Processor's own get_attribute section only repeating the boolean-true note in passing while the fuller treatment lives in the Tag Processor doc — a subject reading primarily the HTML Processor page could under-handle this. Trials 2 and 3, which evidently cross-referenced the Tag Processor attribute docs, both added the true !== $src guard.",

Readers cannot infer which tags are renamed or in which direction, so they don't realize that querying by the post-parse tag name (e.g. next_tag('IMG')) is the correct and sufficient way to match an element a browser treats as that element — and that foreign-content elements with a similar source spelling will NOT match.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one or two concrete rename examples to get_tag(), e.g. that an HTML `<image>` start tag is reprocessed as an IMG element (get_tag() returns 'IMG'), while inside <svg> an `<image>` start tag is a distinct svg-namespace element whose name is IMAGE.

Without this, developers add namespace guards that are either redundant or, in other element families, subtly wrong.",

Show that next_tag('IMG') therefore already excludes the SVG element by name, and that get_namespace() is the right tool only when source and parsed element share a tag name across namespaces."

A reader working primarily from the HTML Processor page can miss the distinction between true and '' and under-handle the boolean case (as trial-1 did, omitting the true-guard).",

This is a high-commonness smoke task and the docs supported it completely.\n\nWhat the docs did well, mapped to the cases that could have tripped a subject:\n- Processor selection (no case failed on this): the 'Which processor should I use?' / Overview section (html-tag-processor.md lines 18-24) draws a sharp line — Tag Processor for 'flat, position-based work: finding tags by name ... changing attributes and classes, byte-precise edits that preserve the rest of the document.' Trial-3's explanation quotes this almost directly. No subject was tempted toward WP_HTML_Processor.\n- Query form (uppercase-tag, simple, multiple cases): the query table at line 58 gives the exact `next_tag( array( 'tag_name' => 'img' ) )` literal, and next_tag's 'What this matches' bullet states tag-name matching is ASCII case-insensitive with original casing preserved — directly covering the `<IMG SRC=...>` -> `<IMG class=... SRC=...>` expectation.\n- inside-comment-ignored case: next_tag 'What this matches' bullet 2 ('Tag-like text inside comments ... is text, not tags, and is never matched or modified') plus the Special elements discussion guaranteed the commented `<img>` is skipped. All subjects cited this.\n- existing-classes / no-existing-class (existing-classes, simple cases): the 'Modifying CSS classes' section (lines 184-217) shows add_class appending to existing classes preserving order and whitespace, and that add_class is safe when no class attribute exists. Covers both `class=\\\"photo large\\\"` -> `... wp-image` and adding to a bare `<img>`.\n- incomplete-tag-at-end case: next_tag bullet 3 and the 'When matching fails' section state a document ending mid-tag pauses the processor and the incomplete tag is never matched/modified — so the trailing `<img src=\\\"a.jpg` is left byte-for-byte. The next_tag-while loop terminates naturally on the false return; no subject needed paused_at_incomplete_token and none misused it.\n- unquoted-attributes case: 'Design and limitations' (line 328) notes only *updated* attribute values are normalized to double quotes; untouched `src=a.jpg width=10` are preserved. Adding `class` does not disturb them.\n\nNear-misses in explanations (not defects): trial-1 asserts add_class adds 'without duplication.' This is true and documented (add_class example, lines 202-204 — re-adding an existing class is a no-op) but no test exercises de-duplication, so it is an unverified-by-tests but doc-correct claim, not a misconception.\"",

What the docs did well: (1) The 'Which processor should I use?' / 'Custom queries' sections steered all three subjects to the Tag Processor for flat attribute editing with byte-exact preservation, the correct choice — none reached for the HTML Processor or breadcrumbs. (2) The get_attribute return contract is stated twice and unambiguously — prose at lines 89-90 ('returns null if absent... may return \\\"\\\" when present but empty... true for boolean attributes') and the method docblock at line ~1505 ('Boolean attributes return true') — which is exactly what made the three hardest cases pass: empty-href ('' !== null), valueless-href (true !== null), and no-href-skipped (null === null). All three subjects cite this contract in comments/explanations. (3) next_tag()'s documented ASCII case-insensitivity (line 937) carried the uppercase-HREF case for free; subjects didn't need to special-case it. (4) The 'Only real HTML tags can match... text inside comments... is never matched' note (line 939) explains the inside-comment-ignored pass, though no subject explicitly relied on it — it just worked. (5) set_attribute documented as overwriting existing values (line 156) covered existing-target-overwritten. Near-misses in the explanations: trial-2's redundant `|| true === get_attribute('href')` clause shows the one place the null/true/'' contract can still confuse a careful reader — the subject didn't internalize that `true` already satisfies `!== null`, so it hedged with a logically-dead disjunct. The fix would be a doc note making explicit that the three return types are mutually exclusive and that a single `!== null` test is the idiomatic 'is this attribute present in any form' check. No subject mishandled decoded-vs-raw text (not exercised here since target='_blank' has no entities and href values are never read out), incomplete input, or attribute ordering (set_attribute on an EXISTING attribute updates in place, preserving position — relevant to existing-target-overwritten, and all passed).\"",

Trial-2 wrote a logically redundant guard (`null !== get_attribute('href') || true === get_attribute('href')`) because it wasn't certain a boolean `true` was already covered by `!== null`. A reader can correctly recall all three return values yet still be unsure how to combine them into a single 'is this attribute present in any form' check.",

To test mere presence regardless of value, use `null !== $p->get_attribute( $name )`.'

All three candidates reproduced this pattern; trials 1 and 2 are near-line-for-line copies of it and of the reference solution.\\n\\nWhat the docs did well, mapped to the trickier cases:\\n- entities-decoded (Fish & Chips, mdash): get_modifiable_text() at html-processor.md:2077 states plainly that for #text nodes the returned text is DECODED and warns \\\"Do not decode it again.\\\" Every candidate relied on this and none double-decoded.\\n- image-only-empty-string vs no-h1-null: the distinction between returning \\\"\\\" (H1 with no text) and null (no H1) was driven by the task spec, but the docs reinforce it — get_modifiable_text() documents returning an empty string for tokens with no modifiable text, and next_tag()'s bool return cleanly signals \\\"no H1 found.\\\" All three got both branches right.\\n- nested-in-div / nested-markup: the `>=` depth guard (the example even annotates \\\"// >= and not >.\\\" at html-processor.md:891) is precisely what makes nested text and text-after-nested-elements get captured while stopping at the H1 closer. The breadcrumbs/depth section (html-processor.md:686) explaining that a closer reports depth one-less than its opener underpins why the loop terminates at the right token.\\n- unclosed-h1: handled implicitly correctly because next_token() walks to end-of-document and depth never drops below the H1 depth, so the run-to-end text is collected. No candidate needed special-casing.\\n\\nNear-misses in the explanations: trials 1 and 2 omit the documented `create_fragment(): static|null` null check. This is harmless for the test inputs (the only documented null causes are non-default context/encoding, impossible here), and trial 3 includes it, but the explanations for trials 1-2 don't acknowledge the unchecked null return.

This task is a near-best-case for the documentation. html-tag-processor.md contains two passages that directly teach the exact technique required:\n\n1. The 'Building markup from a template' section (lines 158-182) states both rules this task hinges on — (a) include attributes in the template with empty values so updates preserve written order (the src-then-alt ordering requirement), and (b) include placeholder text inside elements that need text content because an empty element has no #text token for set_modifiable_text to replace. Its worked example (<a href=\"\" title=\"\">.</a> → next_tag → set_attribute ×2 → token-walk for #text → set_modifiable_text → get_updated_html) is structurally isomorphic to build_figure.\n\n2. The set_modifiable_text() reference (lines 1876, 1878-1888) reinforces this with a <figcaption>.</figcaption> example showing that an empty container carries no text and the placeholder-then-replace idiom is required.\n\nAll three subjects discovered and applied this pattern, so the encoding-related cases (ampersand, quotes-in-alt, angle-brackets, html-not-parsed, unicode) all passed because set_attribute and set_modifiable_text both encode automatically — a fact the docs state explicitly at lines 2142-2145, 1849, 1914-1924, and 1491. The 'html-in-caption-not-parsed' case (a <script> string going through set_modifiable_text on a #text node) passed because the placeholder lived in figcaption, not a raw-text element, so the content was encoded rather than treated as script.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: none materially wrong. All three explanations correctly attribute the encoding to the API methods. Trial-3's self-reported confidence of 50 is the only notable miscalibration — its code is the cleanest of the three (closest to the reference), yet it expressed the least confidence, suggesting the docs, while sufficient to produce correct code, did not leave the subject feeling certain the output would be byte-exact. The most likely source of that residual doubt is that neither doc passage explicitly states the output is byte-for-byte stable for untouched regions in a fragment context; that guarantee exists at line 2297 ('Every byte the updates did not touch is returned exactly as it appeared') but is located in the get_updated_html reference, far from the template-building tutorial where a subject building a fragment would be reading.\n\nThe redundant next_tag('figcaption') in trials 1 and 2 is a minor non-idiomatic wrinkle, not a failure: the template section's example does not pre-locate the container with next_tag before walking tokens, it walks tokens directly. Subjects who added the extra step still produced correct output because next_tag and next_token share a single cursor (probe-confirmed: after next_tag('figcaption') the following next_token lands on the #text child).\"",

+    {
+      "location": "html-tag-processor.md — 'Building markup from a template' section (lines 158-182)",
+      "problem": "The template-building tutorial does not state the output guarantee that makes this whole technique trustworthy: that bytes the updates did not touch are returned exactly as written. That guarantee is buried in the get_updated_html() reference at line 2297, far from where a subject building a fragment is reading. This likely drove trial-3's low confidence (50) despite correct, clean code.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to the section closing the loop with output stability, e.g. 'Regions of the template you do not modify are returned byte-for-byte unchanged — no normalization or reformatting — so the surrounding markup you wrote is exactly what you get back.' Cross-link to get_updated_html()."

+    {
+      "location": "html-tag-processor.md — 'Building markup from a template' section (lines 168-179) and set_modifiable_text() (line 1876)",
+      "problem": "Doc line 1876 explicitly advises 'Always check the return value' of set_modifiable_text, but the template-building example and the figcaption example both ignore the return value. None of the three subjects checked it. The example a reader copies should model the guidance the prose gives, or the guidance reads as optional.",
+      "suggestion": "Either show the return-value check in at least one example (e.g. wrap the set in an if or note what to do on false), or add a one-line caveat under the template example clarifying that within a controlled template the placeholder #text is guaranteed to exist so the check can be omitted — making explicit WHY the example skips it."
+    },

+      "location": "html-tag-processor.md — next_tag() (lines 47-63) vs next_token() (lines 250-257) interaction",
+      "problem": "Trials 1 and 2 interleaved next_tag('figcaption') with a subsequent next_token() walk and assumed (correctly) that the cursor is shared so next_token resumes from the matched tag. The docs document each method separately but never state that next_tag and next_token operate on the same cursor and can be mixed, nor what next_token returns immediately after a next_tag match (the matched tag's first child token). Subjects relied on an undocumented-but-true behavior.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short note where next_token is introduced: 'next_tag() and next_token() advance the same cursor. After next_tag() matches an opening tag, the next next_token() call advances to that tag's first child token, so the two can be freely interleaved.'"

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed in any trial — all three passed 9/9. The documentation for this task is unusually well-targeted, so the analysis below covers what the docs did right and the only near-misses in the subjects' reasoning.\n\nWhat the docs did well:\n1. The `next_token()` section (html-processor.md:606-647) provides an almost verbatim template for this task: a `#text`-filtered token walk that accumulates `get_modifiable_text()`. All three subjects reproduced this structure. The example even warns that text may be split across consecutive `#text` tokens (line 618: 'accumulate text while walking rather than assuming one token carries all of an element's text'), which is exactly why the accumulation loop is the right pattern — directly responsible for the `malformed-nesting` (onetwotail) and `interelement-whitespace` (a b) passes.\n2. `get_modifiable_text()` (html-processor.md:2071-2090, html-tag-processor.md:1832-1847) explicitly states that `#text` content is DECODED ('&amp; is returned as &', with a worked 'Fish & Chips' example) and says 'Do not decode it again.' This prevented double-decoding and made the `entities-count-decoded` case (Fish &) pass — the decoded '&' counts as one code point, which is the test's whole point.\n3. The same section gives the exact UTF-8 measuring/slicing guidance the task needs: `mb_substr( $text, 0, $limit, 'UTF-8' )` (html-processor.md:2077) and `mb_strlen( $text, 'UTF-8' )` (html-tag-processor.md:1838). Every subject passed `multibyte-emoji` (ab🌨️) and `accented` (cafés) because they followed this verbatim rather than using byte-based substr.\n4. The SCRIPT/STYLE exclusion (html-processor.md:2080: 'the text is carried by the ELEMENT's own token — there is no separate #text child to visit') correctly steered subjects to filter on `'#text' === get_token_type()`, which I verified by probe: SCRIPT content appears on a `#tag` token, not a `#text` token. This made `script-excluded` (beforeafter) pass.\n\nNear-misses in explanations (not failures):\n- Trial-2's explanation asserts SCRIPT/STYLE content 'is stored in the element's token itself' as the reason for exclusion. This is correct and matches html-processor.md:2080, but trial-2 reported the lowest confidence (58) of any trial despite a fully correct solution — suggesting the docs, while sufficient, did not give the subject enough certainty that the `#text` filter alone reliably excludes raw-text elements. A more prominent, affirmative statement that 'filtering on #text excludes SCRIPT/STYLE/TEXTAREA/TITLE content automatically' would have raised confidence.\n- None of the subjects exercised the documented edge that `get_modifiable_text()` returns '' for tokens with no modifiable text; it didn't matter here because they guard on `#text` first, but the guard was a consequence of the example, not of explicit reasoning about empty returns.",

+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::get_modifiable_text() / WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::get_modifiable_text() (html-processor.md:2080, html-tag-processor.md:1834)",
+      "problem": "The docs explain that SCRIPT/STYLE/TEXTAREA/TITLE text is carried on the element's own token (no separate #text child), but they never state the practical inverse the reader actually needs: that filtering a token walk on '#text' === get_token_type() therefore excludes all raw-text/RCDATA element content automatically. Trial-2 reasoned this out correctly but reported only 58% confidence, indicating the docs left the conclusion implicit.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one affirmative sentence near the SCRIPT/STYLE note, e.g. 'To collect only human-visible character data, walk tokens and keep those where get_token_type() === \"#text\"; this automatically skips SCRIPT, STYLE, TEXTAREA, and TITLE contents, whose text lives on the element token rather than in a #text child.' This states the general extraction rule without embedding any specific task's solution."

A reader who wants the text of the WHOLE fragment (the common case) must infer that dropping the depth guard yields a document-wide walk. All subjects inferred this correctly, but the example only demonstrates the bounded form.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a one-line note after the example: 'To collect text for the entire document or fragment, omit the depth/breadcrumb guard and walk every token: while ( $processor->next_token() ) { if ( \"#text\" === $processor->get_token_type() ) { $text .= $processor->get_modifiable_text(); } }'.

The connection between 'UTF-8' encoding argument and 'counts code points, never splits a character' is left implicit.",
+      "suggestion": "Extend the slicing note: 'Passing the \"UTF-8\" encoding makes mb_strlen/mb_substr count and cut on whole Unicode code points, so a multi-byte character is never split. Do not use the byte-based strlen()/substr() for code-point limits.' This is a general UTF-8 correctness fact applicable to any length-limited text handling."

Minor non-idiomatic noise; otherwise the depth-walking, text accumulation, and edge-case handling match the documented pattern exactly. Self-reported confidence 55 is notably low for a fully-correct solution -- the subject hedged, likely because the docs do not explicitly state that next_tag skips closers, leaving uncertainty about whether the guard was needed.

Functionally identical to the reference and correctly preserves the >= (not >) boundary semantics the docs warn about (html-processor.md:639-641), so trailing text after nested closers is retained. Slightly less idiomatic than the documented inline-condition form, hence a tiny deduction. Edge cases all handled correctly. Confidence 72, reasonable."
+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed in any trial: all three trials passed 8/8. The documentation was the decisive factor in this clean sweep. The single most impactful passage is the `next_token()` example in html-processor.md (lines 622-647), which is a near-exact template for this task: \"Collect the text content of the first LI element\" demonstrates (a) recording get_current_depth() on the opener, (b) the `while ( next_token() && get_current_depth() >= $depth )` walk, (c) filtering on `'#text' === get_token_type()`, and (d) accumulating with get_modifiable_text(). All three subjects reproduced this idiom almost verbatim. Three specific doc features pre-empted the edge cases that would otherwise trip subjects:\\n\\n1. The `>=` vs `>` warning (lines 639-641: \"`>` would end this walk at the first nested closer ... and silently drop the trailing text\") directly protected the `simple` case (`<a href=\\\"/b\\\"><em>second</em> link</a>` -> 'second link', where ' link' follows the </em> closer). All three used `>=`; none dropped trailing text.\\n\\n2. The note that \"An element's text content may be split across several consecutive `#text` tokens: accumulate text while walking\" (line 618) reinforced the accumulation pattern, and the explicit statement that the HTML Processor \"visits a closing token for every element it opens, including ... elements left unclosed at the end of the input\" (line 616) directly explains why the `unclosed-link` case works -- the loop terminates correctly even with no `</a>` because a synthetic closer is still produced.\\n\\n3. The get_attribute() docblock (html-processor.md:1821-1854 and the Returns line: \"Value of attribute or `null` if not available. Boolean attributes return `true`\") plus the inline example (`get_attribute('enabled') === true`, `get_attribute('aria-label') === null`) gave subjects the precise true/null distinction needed for both `valueless-href` (expects `true`) and `no-href-excluded`/href-absent (expects skip on `null`). All three correctly tested `null === $href` to skip and let `true` flow through.\\n\\n4. get_modifiable_text() returning decoded text -- with the worked example `'Fish & Chips' === get_modifiable_text()` at html-tag-processor.md:1846, which exactly matches the `entities-in-text` case -- meant no subject attempted manual entity decoding. Likewise get_attribute returning the decoded href ('/search?q=a&b') was implicitly trusted, passing `entity-in-href-decoded`.\\n\\nNear-misses in the explanations: trial-2's redundant is_tag_closer() guard and its low confidence (55) both stem from a documentation gap -- the docs never state plainly that next_tag() skips closers by default. The subject defensively guarded against a closer that next_tag('A') never surfaces. trial-3's break-based refactor of the loop guard is a cosmetic deviation from the documented inline form but preserves the critical >= boundary, so it did not cause any failure. No subject confused the Tag Processor for the HTML Processor; the prominent warning in html-tag-processor.md:20 (\"Methods like get_current_depth() ... do not exist on this class -- they belong to WP_HTML_Processor\") steered all three to the correct class.",

This default is only inferable indirectly (the is_tag_closer example uses `tag_closers => 'visit'` to surface a closer). The gap caused trial-2 to add a defensive, never-firing `is_tag_closer()` guard and to report low confidence (55) on a fully-correct solution. Subjects waste reasoning and code on a non-existent hazard.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to the next_tag() description: 'By default next_tag() matches only tag openers; closing tags are skipped. Pass `tag_closers => \"visit\"` (or use next_token()) to also stop on closers.' This generalizes to any tag-iteration task and removes the ambiguity that drives defensive guards."

It is not surfaced as a named, reusable pattern, so subjects must recognize and lift it from a single buried example. It worked here because the example happened to be near-identical to the task, but a slightly different task (e.g. collecting a non-text property inside a subtree) would force re-derivation.",
+      "suggestion": "Promote the 'record opener depth, then walk `while ( next_token() && get_current_depth() >= $depth )`' construct to a short named subsection or a cross-referenced 'Scoping a walk to an element's subtree' note, stating the invariant generally: the element's own closer is the first token reported at depth < opener-depth, so `>=` includes all descendants (openers, text, and nested closers) and excludes the subtree's end. This makes the pattern discoverable independent of the specific LI example."

A subject who didn't notice the example might hand-decode entities or wrongly expect raw markup. The decoding contract for attribute values especially is implicit.",
+      "suggestion": "Add an explicit sentence to each Returns/description: for get_modifiable_text(), 'The returned text has all HTML character references (entities) decoded; do not decode again.' For get_attribute(), 'String values are returned with character references decoded.' Stating the decoding contract in prose (not only by example) prevents double-decoding and manual-decoding bugs in any text/attribute extraction task."

A probe confirmed both P's report breadcrumbs HTML>BODY>BLOCKQUOTE>P, so in_array('BLOCKQUOTE', $breadcrumbs, true) correctly tags both. The docs supported this well: the get_breadcrumbs() section (html-processor.md lines 815-831) gives a worked example showing breadcrumbs as the full root-to-node stack, and the breadcrumbs prose (lines 50-71) explicitly states the stack always includes implicit HTML/BODY in fragment/BODY context. The next_token/next_tag note (line 646) even models the exact idiom in_array('LI', $processor->get_breadcrumbs(), true) for ancestor membership, which all three subjects mirrored. The only near-miss in reasoning: all three candidates check the full breadcrumbs including the matched node itself, whereas the reference slices off the last element (array_slice(..., 0, -1)) to test strictly ancestors. This is harmless for this task because the matched tag is always P and never BLOCKQUOTE, so self-inclusion never causes a false positive — but none of the explanations noted that get_breadcrumbs() includes the current element, suggesting the subjects may not have internalized that distinction. A task where the target tag could itself be the ancestor tag would expose this. The existing-class-preserved case (class=\"lead\" -> \"lead quoted\") was handled implicitly via add_class's documented merge/whitespace-preserving behavior (html-tag-processor.md lines 328, 2223-2245); no subject had to reason about it explicitly, and it worked.",

All three chose the correct processor (WP_HTML_Processor) and the documented create_fragment / next_tag('TABLE') / get_current_depth() anchoring idiom. Trial 2 passed all 8. The 6 hidden-case failures (4 in trial-1, 2 in trial-3) all trace to ONE misconception about depth-and-closer semantics, plus a corollary about implicit table-section wrappers.\\n\\nROOT MISCONCEPTION — 'a nested element's closing token reports the same depth as the parent's content, so a strict (`>`) depth-bounded walk terminates at the first nested closer.' The get_current_depth() docblock states this directly ('when matched on a CLOSING tag token... the reported depth is that of the remaining parent context: one less than... at the matching opening tag') and hammers the consequence with two worked examples plus the sentence 'Writing `>` instead would end the walk early, at the first closer of a direct child... break when the depth drops BELOW the depth recorded at the opener (`< $depth`), never at `<= $depth`.' The next_token() docblock repeats it ('The `>=` comparison is required: `>` would end this walk at the first nested closer'). Despite this, two subjects used the wrong comparator:\\n  - Trial 3, thead-tbody (fail): outer loop `next_token() && get_current_depth() > $table_depth`. Probe confirms the implicit TBODY/THEAD opener sits at table_depth+1 and its closer returns to table_depth; `table_depth > table_depth` is false, so the walk ends after the FIRST section, capturing only the header row. Section heading responsible: get_current_depth() (the `>=` paragraph) — and the warning is framed around ONE container, not around the fact that an implicit wrapper becomes the de-facto container.\\n  - Trial 3, markup-in-cells (fail): cell-text loop `get_current_depth() > $cell_depth`. Probe confirms </strong> reports the cell's content depth (6), so `6 > 6` is false and the trailing ' '/'text' nodes (depth 7) are dropped, yielding 'bold'. Same heading responsible.\\n  - Trial 1, omitted-closers / markup-in-cells / empty-cells / simple (fail): inner row-walk break `if ( $current_depth <= $row_depth ) break;`. The first cell's closer returns depth to the TR-content depth (== row_depth), so the loop breaks after cell #1, dropping every subsequent cell in the row. This is the `<=` form the get_current_depth() doc explicitly names as wrong ('never at `<= $depth`'). The single-cell-per-row cases (thead-tbody, first-table-only) coincidentally pass because there is nothing after cell #1 to lose.\\n\\nCOROLLARY — IMPLICIT TBODY. Trials 1 and 3 both implicitly assumed TR is a direct child of TABLE (depth = table_depth+1). The parser inserts an implicit TBODY (probe: rows live at table_depth+2). Trial 2 sidestepped this entirely by walking ALL descendant tokens with a single `< table_depth` break and a TR/TD state machine, never assuming a fixed parent-child depth gap. The HTML Processor 'Supported elements' / create_fragment_at_current_node sections DO mention that a TABLE context produces TBODY>TR>TD, and the class overview lists 'well-formed tables (TABLE, THEAD, TBODY, TR, TD, TH)', but nothing in the walking idioms (next_token/get_current_depth examples) demonstrates that table rows are NOT direct children of TABLE, nor that thead/tbody are synthesized when omitted. The two failing trials never saw a worked example contradicting the naive 'rows are children of table' model.\\n\\nWHY TRIAL 2 SUCCEEDED: it used the single documented pattern verbatim — one flat next_token() walk, `break` only when depth drops below the table anchor, and a state machine keyed on TR/TD/TH openers and closers rather than per-level strict-depth subloops. This makes it immune to both the closer-depth trap (it never compares against an intermediate level) and the implicit-TBODY surprise (it never assumes a depth gap). The failures correlate perfectly with departing from that single-walk pattern toward nested strict-`>` subloops.",

It creates a fragment processor, finds the first TABLE element, then uses a single token iteration loop with state tracking. As it encounters TD/TH opening tags, it enters cell mode and accumulates text from #text tokens. It detects cell closings using the is_tag_closer() method and depth tracking. This approach avoids nested loops that could skip tokens, instead using flat state machine logic that properly handles optional closing tags.",

The documentation directly enabled this success, so the analysis covers what the docs did well and the remaining near-misses.\n\nWhy every trial succeeded:\n1. The serialize_token() section (html-processor.md:1013-1039) is the load-bearing passage. It explicitly states that walking every token with next_token() and concatenating serialize_token() 'reconstructs the normalized serialization of the input' and that the loop form exists so a rewriting loop can 'emit extra markup around them to insert wrappers.' This is almost exactly the task (wrap matching #text tokens in <mark>), so all three subjects reached for the correct idiom rather than inventing one. It also handles the normalization-side-effects case for free (optional-tag closing, &AMP; -> &amp;), which subjects never had to reason about explicitly.\n\n2. The get_modifiable_text() section (html-processor.md:2065-2078) explicitly says that for #text nodes the returned text is DECODED ('character references have been replaced by the characters they represent. Do not decode it again'). This is exactly what the entity-encoded-keyword-matches case (w&#111;rld -> matches 'world') required. Subjects matched the keyword against get_modifiable_text() and got the decoded-match behavior without needing to know decoding internals.\n\n3. The #text token-type discrimination via get_token_type() === '#text' is shown in worked examples in both files (html-processor.md:629, html-tag-processor.md:174), which is why subjects only marked text nodes and correctly left keyword occurrences inside attributes (keyword-in-attribute-not-wrapped) and comments (keyword-in-comment-not-wrapped) un-wrapped — those are never #text tokens, so no special-casing was needed.\n\n4. The split-across-elements-no-match case ('wor<em>ld</em>' with keyword 'world') passed because the substring test runs per-token on each separate #text node, and neither 'wor' nor 'ld' contains 'world'. The docs' framing of next_token() as a per-token walk made this the natural, correct structure.\n\nNear-miss in explanations: trial-3's null fallback returns the raw $html instead of '' (an undocumented choice — the docs declare create_fragment as static|null but don't define the null trigger conditions or recommend a fallback). Harmless here because create_fragment never returns null for valid <body> fragments, but it is the only place any trial deviated from the reference's documented-contract behavior. All three explanations correctly attributed normalization to serialize_token() and decoded matching to get_modifiable_text(), showing accurate mental models with no hallucinated capabilities.",

+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment()",
+      "problem": "The signature documents a static|null return type, but the prose never states the conditions under which null is returned (e.g., unsupported context or non-UTF-8 encoding) nor what a caller should do on null. Trial-3 invented an un-normalized fallback (returning raw input HTML), which diverges from the empty-string convention used by the reference and the other trials. Subjects guessing at the null branch could emit non-normalized output that silently violates a normalization contract.",

They got it right here, but a wrap example would remove the inference step and reinforce that injected wrapper markup is the caller's literal string, not something the processor normalizes.",

The documentation served this task exceptionally well, and the analysis here is of what the docs did right plus near-misses in approach.\n\nWhy every trial succeeded: the core requirement is 'mark the LAST occurrence of a tag in a single forward-only scan.' The set_bookmark() method section (html-tag-processor.md ~line 1100-1164) contains a near-perfect template: it states the cursor cannot move backward (line 65), introduces bookmarks/seek as the exception (line 67, line 1124), AND, critically, line 1161 spells out the exact idiom: 'Setting a bookmark with a name that is already in use MOVES that bookmark... Re-setting the same name on every match is the supported idiom for remembering \"the last X seen so far\"... This is how to track the last occurrence of something in a single pass without hitting the bookmark limit.' Trials 1 and 2 followed this idiom directly. The comment-h2-not-counted case passed for free because next_tag() only matches real tags, and the doc's 'When matching fails' / special-elements discussion plus the general framing make clear that comment contents are not tags. The existing-class case passed because add_class() is documented (line 328) to preserve whitespace and class ordering and append idempotently, and the Returns note (line 2245) clarifies the add-then-get_updated_html flow needs no return inspection. No-headings-unchanged passed because get_updated_html() returns untouched bytes verbatim (line 2297) and add_class is never reached.\n\nNear-misses in approach (not failures): (a) Trials 1 and 2 both called release_bookmark() before re-setting the same bookmark name. This is wasted work that line 1161 directly says is unnecessary — the subjects read the bookmark-limit warning but apparently did not fully absorb the 'does not leak the old one or require releasing it first' clause, or hedged against it. The passage is correct but the 'limited, require a name, avoid programmatic names' warning (line 1159) may prime readers toward over-defensive manual release. (b) Trial 3 ignored bookmarks entirely and re-scanned three times. The docs DO discourage this (line 65 'recreate the processor and start over', line 1124 'avoids the need to re-scan the entire document'), but those statements are framed as capability limits rather than as a performance directive, and the single-pass last-occurrence idiom lives only inside the set_bookmark() heading — a subject who did not read that far down would not encounter it. The overview/traversal sections do not surface 'track the last/Nth match in one pass' as a named pattern, so a less careful reader can fall back to multi-pass counting and still pass tests.",

+      "problem": "The single-pass 'track the last (or Nth) matching tag' idiom is documented only deep inside the set_bookmark() method heading (line 1161). A reader who scans the traversal/next_tag section without drilling into bookmarks (as trial-3 evidently did) sees only 'the cursor cannot move backward; recreate the processor to reach an earlier tag', which actively suggests a wasteful multi-pass re-scan and counting approach.",
+      "suggestion": "In the traversal/next_tag prose, add a one-line cross-reference and pattern name where the no-backing-up limitation is first stated: e.g. 'To act on the last (or Nth) tag matching a query, do not re-scan — make one forward pass and re-set a single named bookmark on each match, then seek() to it; see set_bookmark().' This surfaces the efficient pattern at the point of need."

+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::set_bookmark() (html-tag-processor.md lines 1159-1161)",
+      "problem": "The text correctly states that re-setting an in-use name moves the bookmark and 'does not require releasing it first', but it sits in the same paragraph as the strong 'bookmarks are limited / require names / avoid programmatic names' warning. Two of three subjects (trials 1 and 2) still inserted a redundant release_bookmark() before each re-set, suggesting the no-release-needed point is being missed or over-ridden by the adjacent scarcity warning.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a tiny contrasting code snippet next to line 1161 showing the correct idiom WITHOUT a release inside the loop (set_bookmark on each match; release only once after seek), and explicitly call out 'Do NOT call release_bookmark() before re-setting the same name — that is redundant.' A positive+negative example anchors the behavior better than prose alone."

Trial-1 added an is_tag_closer() guard that is unnecessary precisely because closers are skipped by default; the subject could not easily confirm the default and coded defensively.",
+      "suggestion": "State the default explicitly in the next_tag prose or the query examples table: 'By default next_tag() visits only tag openers; closing tags like </h2> are skipped unless you pass tag_closers => \"visit\".' This removes the need for defensive is_tag_closer() checks when matching a named tag."

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed in any trial. All three subjects independently converged on the canonical solution: WP_HTML_Processor::normalize() on each fragment, treat null as 'cannot represent' -> false, and compare the two normalized strings with ===. This is the intended approach and it passed all 9 cases (quoting styles, implied closers, tag-case, entity spellings, attribute order, text diff, structure diff, in-tag whitespace, and unsupported misnesting).\n\nWhy the docs succeeded here: (1) The normalize() docblock (html-processor.md lines 911-961) explicitly enumerates the equivalences the task asks about — 'Attribute values will be double-quoted', 'Duplicate attributes will be removed', 'Omitted tags will be added', 'Tag and attribute name casing will be lower-cased', 'Text will be re-encoded' — which maps almost one-to-one onto the task's 'quoting style, optional/implied closing tags, tag-name case, and equivalent character references do not change the structure.' A subject reading only this section could deduce that string equality of normalized output answers the structural-equivalence question. (2) The static signature `normalize(string $html): string|null` plus the 'or null if unable to normalize' return doc, reinforced by the class-level statement (line 84) that 'methods which produce output (such as serialize() and normalize()) return null' when the parser aborts, directly gave subjects the unparseable-input branch the task demands ('If either input cannot be fully parsed/represented, return false'). The misnesting case (`<b>one<i>two</b>three</i>`) is even named in the Supported/Unsupported section (line 90-91) as a construct that causes the parser to abort, so the false expectation was reachable from the docs.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: none materially wrong. All three correctly attribute attribute-order sensitivity to normalize() preserving source order (the task wants attribute-order differences to count as different, and normalize does NOT sort existing attributes — only added ones are sorted, per the Tag Processor 'Building markup from a template' note). The docs do not state this preservation-of-existing-order property explicitly for normalize(); the subjects got attribute-order-differs right because normalize() happens to preserve written order, but none of them justified WHY attribute order is preserved, which is a latent gap (see doc_gaps). Trial-3's lower self-reported confidence (82) was unwarranted given the code is identical and fully correct.\n\nOne observation about the harness signal, not a subject failure: every trial's misnesting case carries a trigger_error from WP_HTML_Processor::serialize ('Cannot serialize HTML Processor with parsing error: unsupported'). This is emitted inside normalize()'s own internal serialize() call when the parser has bailed; it is not reachable or avoidable through the documented public API and does not affect the (correct) null/false result. It is not evidence of API misuse.",

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed 7/7, with zero _doing_it_wrong or trigger_error records. The dominant cause of success is that html-processor.md's `serialize_token()` section (lines 1013-1042) contains a worked example that is nearly isomorphic to the task: \"Remove every SUP element but keep its contents\" using the exact token-walk → skip-by-get_tag → concatenate-serialize_token pattern, with the inline note \"Skips both the opener and the closer.\" Trials 2 and 3 explicitly named this example as their source; trial 1 reproduced it. The accompanying prose (\"Closing tokens of skipped elements must be skipped too\"; \"skip tokens to remove them\") directly preempts the only subtle trap — forgetting to skip the SPAN closer — which is the bug that would have broken nested-spans, adjacent-spans, and span-with-block-content. The docs also correctly steered subjects away from the wrong tool: the serialize_token heading warns that get_updated_html()/set_attribute is the path for edits while serialize_token is for token-by-token rewriting, and the create_fragment description frames fragments as the right model for body-context HTML. Consequently every subject picked WP_HTML_Processor (which normalizes optional/unclosed tags and re-encodes text per the spec) rather than WP_HTML_Tag_Processor (which would not normalize the &AMP;→&amp; case or close the implicit </p></div>).\\n\\nNear-misses in the explanations, not failures: (1) Trial 2 chose `return $html` on a null create_fragment, returning unnormalized original input — semantically inconsistent with the task's \"normalized serialization\" contract. It never fired because BODY-context create_fragment returns null only on an invalid context argument, not on content (verified by probe). The docs do not state what create_fragment returns null for, nor what a caller should emit on failure, so this divergence is an unguided guess rather than a doc-contradiction. (2) None of the subjects articulated why get_tag()==='SPAN' is safe on text/comment/doctype tokens (where get_tag() returns null); they inherited the idiom from the example without restating the invariant. This worked but reflects pattern-copying rather than understanding of get_tag's null-on-non-tag semantics.\"",

The widely-copied skip idiom `'SPAN' === $processor->get_tag()` is only safe because that comparison is false (not an error) on those tokens. Subjects used the idiom correctly but by imitation, without the stated invariant.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to get_tag(): when iterating tokens via next_token(), get_tag() returns null for any token that is not an element (text, comment, doctype), so a string-equality test like `'SPAN' === $p->get_tag()` is a safe, allocation-free way to match a specific element regardless of token type.

This led one trial to return the raw, unnormalized input on null — inconsistent with a normalization contract — while two others returned ''. The choice was an unguided guess.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short 'Returns null when…' note listing the failure conditions (e.g., unsupported context or encoding) and clarify that content-level malformation does NOT cause null (the parser recovers and normalizes instead). This lets callers know the null branch is reached only for unsupported configuration, guiding a sensible early return."

Subject: [PATCH 033/193] HTML API docs round 10 hypothesis: the RCDATA
 exception belongs on the walk path.

The docs now teach the walk-for-#text recipe so well that subjects
apply it to TITLE, where it silently returns '' (verified): RCDATA and
raw-text elements produce no #text children. The exception was stated
only in get_modifiable_text(), which the walk path never visits. State
it inside next_token()'s own walk guidance, plus T08's remaining gap:
an unguarded next_token() walks to end-of-document, not to the end of
the element a prior next_tag() matched. Train-licensed via T05's
round-7 judge gap (RCDATA near token-walking docs) and T08's round-9
gaps.

+T08 +8.7 → 86.8 with no sub-50% trials (one-cursor contract +
+state-machine example); T10 +2.6; 17/19 tasks functionally perfect.
+N05 (58.2) is the only weak task left anywhere: subjects now apply the
+well-taught walk-for-#text recipe to TITLE, where it silently returns
+'' (RCDATA has no #text children — verified). The exception lived only
+in get_modifiable_text(), off the walk path.
+
+Round-10 hypothesis (committed): the RCDATA exception stated inside
+next_token()'s walk guidance + the unguarded-walk-runs-to-EOF caveat
+(train-licensed via T05 round-7 and T08 round-9 gaps).

 ## Round 8 — Haiku, UTF-8 fix lands; T08 isolated as the last functional gap

The one weakness is structural: it nests a next_token() walk loop INSIDE an outer next_tag(['tag_name'=>null]) loop. The html-processor.md next_token section (lines 619-665) explicitly warns that nested walk loops share one cursor and 'silently drop' the token that ended the inner loop.

Inner depth-tracked text collection with the < heading_depth break mirrors the documented LI example (lines 645-665), using get_modifiable_text for decoded text.

Adds an extra guard `current_depth > heading_depth` before accumulating #text — correct and provably safe: probe confirms heading text children always sit at depth heading+1 or deeper (opener at depth 3, text at depth 4+), so the guard never wrongly excludes content; it is defensively redundant rather than wrong.

The analysis therefore covers what the docs did well and near-misses.\n\nWhat the docs enabled. The html-processor.md `next_token()` section is the decisive asset. It (1) states that text content may be split across consecutive #text tokens and must be accumulated while walking (line 618), (2) gives a worked example — \"Collect the text content of the first LI element\" (lines 645-665) — that is structurally the canonical solution, including the depth comparison and a comment explaining why `>=` is required and `>` would end the walk early at a nested closer, and (3) guarantees a closer is visited for every opener including implicitly- and end-of-input-closed elements (line 616). Point (3) is exactly what makes the `unclosed-heading` case ('<h2>Open <b>ended') pass without special handling: every trial relies on the heading's synthesized closer (or end-of-input depth drop) to terminate text collection. Point (1) plus get_modifiable_text's documented decode behavior gives the `entities` case (Q&amp;A -> Q&A) for free. The depth model documented under get_current_depth and is_tag_closer (closer reports a depth one less than its opener, lines 709 / 614) is what all three used to bound text collection; a probe confirmed heading openers sit one level above their text children, so the `image-only-heading` case correctly yields '' (an IMG opener carries no modifiable text and there are no #text tokens).\n\nNear-miss in the explanations. All three trials adopted a nested walk-loop shape (an inner next_token collection loop inside the outer scanning loop). The html-processor.md next_token section explicitly warns this is fragile: one shared cursor means the token that terminates the inner loop is consumed, and an outer loop resuming with next_token \"silently drops\" it (lines 619-624). None of the three explanations acknowledge this risk. They pass only because the terminating token is always the heading's own closer (a token of no interest), so dropping it is harmless — but the subjects appear to have applied the inner-loop example without internalizing the cursor-sharing caveat that motivates the docs' recommended single-dispatch loop (the shape used by reference.php). Trial-1 is the closest to the warned-against case because its outer loop is next_tag rather than next_token; it survives only because next_tag skips closers. This is luck aligning with the input class, not demonstrated understanding of the caveat. The canonical reference.php deliberately uses a single flat loop with state variables (current_level/heading_depth) precisely to avoid this, which none of the subjects mirrored — a stylistic gap, not a correctness one for these tests.",

All three subjects copied the inner-loop example into a NESTED structure — the exact shape the prose cautions against — without realizing it. They got away with it only because the dropped token is always a closer here. The doc warns and demonstrates the single-loop fix conceptually but never shows the contrast side by side, so readers extract the example and miss the caveat.",
+      "suggestion": "Place the recommended single flat dispatch loop (one next_token loop with state variables that detects region openers and accumulates text, flushing on the closer) directly adjacent to the inner-loop example, labeled as the preferred pattern for extracting MULTIPLE/repeated regions, with a one-line note: the inner-loop example is safe only when the token that ends it is never itself a region you care about. This generalizes to any 'list of repeated elements' extraction, not just headings."

The method summary ('the modifiable text for a matched token, or an empty string') does not state that character references are decoded, nor that void/empty elements yield ''.",

The loop continues while depth remains at or above the heading's opening depth, ensuring all nested text is captured, then stops when exiting the heading element.",

No _doing_it_wrong records; 7/7 pass. Token-walking while-loop + final get_updated_html is idiomatic. Minor deduction: the has_class('external') guard before remove_class is redundant — remove_class is already a safe no-op when the class is absent (narrative line 189, return-value note line 2245), so the guard adds nothing. Notably the guard relied on has_class, whose docblock claims 'ASCII case-insensitive' (lines 1084/1094) — had that documented behavior been real, has_class('external') would have wrongly matched class=\"EXTERNAL\" and broken the case-sensitive test. It passed only because the actual API is case-sensitive (probe-confirmed), contradicting the doc.

Diagnosis therefore covers what the docs did well and the latent near-miss.\n\nWhat the docs did well: The narrative \"class as a special case\" section (html-tag-processor.md lines 186-217) directly teaches the two behaviors this task hinges on. Lines 189 and 210-212 explicitly state and demonstrate that removing the only class removes the whole class attribute (covering the only-class-removes-attribute test), and the safe-operation note (\"doesn't require checking if the attribute or class exists\") plus the remove_class return-value note (line 2245) tell subjects the guard in trial-1 is unnecessary. The whitespace/ordering-preservation guarantee (line 328) and the byte-exact get_updated_html contract (line 2297) gave subjects accurate language for the leftover-space and untouched-markup tests (only-class-removes-attribute, no-class-untouched, non-link-untouched). next_tag's documented query forms (lines 58-61, 952) made the tag-filtering trivial. All three subjects converged on essentially the reference solution.\n\nThe one near-miss — a documentation defect that did not cause failure only by luck: has_class() is documented as 'Returns if a matched tag contains the given ASCII case-insensitive class name' (lines 1084, 1094), and remove_class() says nothing about case at all (lines 2247-2267). The case-sensitive-not-removed test (class=\\\"EXTERNAL\\\" must keep its class when removing 'external') requires CASE-SENSITIVE class matching. Probes confirm the actual API is case-sensitive: has_class('external') returns false on class=\\\"EXTERNAL\\\", remove_class('external') leaves class=\\\"EXTERNAL\\\" intact, and even next_tag class_name matching is case-sensitive. So the documented 'ASCII case-insensitive' claim for has_class is simply wrong. Trial-1 built a has_class('external') guard on top of that false claim; if the docs had been accurate to themselves the guard would have stripped 'external' from EXTERNAL and failed the test. It passed because the real API contradicts its own docblock and happens to align with the task's case-sensitive requirement. The subjects' explanations (trials 1 and 2) asserted case-sensitive matching — describing real behavior rather than the documented behavior, suggesting they either inferred from the task examples or got lucky. This is the highest-value gap to fix: a future task that genuinely needs case-INsensitive class matching, or one that depends on has_class for control flow, would be actively misled by the current docblock.",

The documentation supported this task strongly and the subjects converged on the canonical implementation.\\n\\nWhat the docs did well, mapped to the cases that could have tripped subjects up:\\n- Containment at any depth (nested-depth, figcaption-sibling): The WP_HTML_Processor 'Breadcrumbs' section and get_breadcrumbs() method both state breadcrumbs run from the outermost parent down to and including the matched node, and the get_breadcrumbs() example shows the full ancestor array ('HTML','BODY','P','STRONG','EM','IMG'). This made `in_array('FIGURE', get_breadcrumbs())` the obvious ancestor-at-any-depth test rather than a parent-only or direct-child check. All three subjects used it; none mistakenly used a child-combinator breadcrumbs query (which would only match direct children and fail nested-depth).\\n- Decoded src (entity-decoded-src): WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::get_attribute()'s 'String values are returned DECODED' note (with the exact `href=\\\"/x?a=1&amp;b=2\\\" -> /x?a=1&b=2` example) told subjects not to decode again. All three relied on it and passed; none double-decoded.\\n- null/true/'' filtering (no-src-skipped): get_attribute()'s documented return contract ('null if not present, true for boolean attributes, empty string \\\"\\\" when present-but-empty') let all three subjects write a precise filter. Trial 1 collapsed it to `is_string($src) && '' !== $src`; trials 2 and 3 enumerated the cases explicitly. All correct.\\n- Unclosed input (unclosed-figure): Choosing WP_HTML_Processor (which the 'Which processor should I use?' guidance steers toward when structure/containment matters, and whose next_token/next_tag docs note implied and end-of-input closers are handled) meant the unclosed <figure> still produced correct breadcrumbs for both the in-figure IMG and the later IMG. The processor's structural handling did the work; subjects did not need special-case code.\\n\\nNear-miss in the explanations: Trial 2's code adds strtoupper() to each breadcrumb before comparing to 'FIGURE'. This is harmless but non-idiomatic and reveals an uncertainty the docs left open — the docs never state plainly that get_breadcrumbs() returns tag names normalized to UPPERCASE, even though every example happens to show uppercase. A subject reading defensively could not be sure from prose, only by pattern-matching the examples. No functional failure resulted, but it is the one place the documentation under-specified a guarantee subjects depend on.\\n\\nMinor stylistic note: the canonical reference excludes the matched element from its own ancestor check via array_slice(get_breadcrumbs(), 0, -1); none of the subjects did this and none needed to, because get_breadcrumbs always ends in the matched tag (IMG here) which can never equal 'FIGURE'. The docs do not explicitly point out that the matched tag is the last breadcrumb entry, but the examples make it inferable, and the difference was inconsequential for this task.\"",

All 3 trials passed all 9 hidden cases with zero _doing_it_wrong records, and all three converge on the exact canonical solution: construct WP_HTML_Tag_Processor, drain every token with a while(next_token()) loop, then return paused_at_incomplete_token().\n\nThis is a documentation success story, and the cause is concentrated in one passage. The paused_at_incomplete_token() method section (html-tag-processor.md lines 1015-1047) does three things that fully de-risked the task: (1) it states the method answers 'did the input end mid-token?'; (2) it warns that the result is only meaningful after scanning to the end of input — 'In a longer document, drain all tokens first; this method reports the state at the point scanning stopped'; and (3) it provides a verbatim drain-loop example (lines 1033-1039) that is line-for-line the structure every candidate produced. Without point (2)/(3), a naive subject might have called the method after a single next_tag() and failed the cut-after-complete-content case ('<p>fine</p><img src=\"a.jpg'), where the truncation only surfaces after the first complete token is consumed.\n\nThe edge cases the task deliberately seeds were also pre-explained: the trailing-'<'-is-text and unclosed-element-is-complete distinctions are baked into the processor's own behavior, and the 'incomplete tag / special element' discussion (md lines 95-119) reinforces that a special element with no closing tag (the unterminated-script case) pauses 'as if the opening tag were incomplete.' Candidates did not need to reason about these explicitly because draining to EOF plus the single method call handles them; trial-2's explanation shows it nonetheless understood the unclosed-element semantics.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: trials 1 and 3 describe the behavior at a generic level and lean on phrasings like 'the processor pauses' without naming which token boundary triggers the pause; none of this affected correctness. The only conceptual subtlety none of the explanations surfaced is that empty string and pure-text input drain with zero or one token and correctly yield false — handled implicitly by the loop, never reasoned about, but never wrong.",

A reader could conflate the two and think next_tag() alone is sufficient to detect truncation, which fails when truncation occurs after one or more complete tokens (e.g. content followed by a cut tag). The method is reliable only after the cursor reaches EOF.",

Readers must infer this from scattered sections.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short 'Returns false for' note enumerating the not-incomplete tail forms: a lone trailing '<' (parsed as text), an unclosed element whose tokens are all whole, and empty/all-text input.

Two distinct, both-correct solution shapes emerged, and the docs supported both: (1) the static one-liner `WP_HTML_Processor::normalize()` (trial 1, mirroring reference.php), and (2) `create_fragment()` + `serialize()` (trials 2/3). The docs did three things well that prevented failure. First, the `normalize()` method heading states the return is `string|null` and 'Normalized output, or `null` if unable to normalize', giving subjects the exact failure signal to test. Second, the class 'HTML Support' section explicitly ties the abort mechanism to the output methods: 'methods which produce output (such as `serialize()` and `normalize()`) return `null`' on encountering unsupported markup, and names the adoption-agency case ('Mis-nested formatting elements whose reconstruction would require advancing and rewinding ... e.g. `<b>one<i>two</b>three</i>`') as exactly the failing test input, while clarifying that simple mis-nesting and well-formed tables are supported — covering the true/false test boundary precisely. Third, the `normalize()` docblock points readers to the create_fragment/serialize alternative, which is exactly what trials 2/3 used; and the `serialize()` docblock's 'must not have already started scanning ... once next_token() or next_tag() has been called it returns null' warning kept subjects from invalidating the processor before serializing. Near-misses in the explanations: all three responses correctly attributed the null return to 'unsupported markup', but none mentioned the foster-parenting abort case (the other documented trigger) — not tested here, but a sign the subjects keyed only on the mis-nesting example. The one observable wrinkle, the E_USER_WARNING ('Cannot serialize HTML Processor with parsing error: unsupported.') captured on the adoption-agency case, appears identically in all three trials including the canonical normalize() path, confirming it is internal API behavior on unsupported input rather than any subject's misuse; the docs do not mention that normalize()/serialize() emit a warning while returning null, which is a documentation gap (see doc_gaps) even though it did not cause a test failure here.",

Empty title is handled correctly because get_modifiable_text() returns '' for an empty TITLE; null returned when no TITLE found and when the parser fails to construct. All four methods (create_full_parser, next_tag, is_tag_closer, get_modifiable_text) are documented. 7/7 functional.

No hallucinated or undocumented methods (create_full_parser, next_tag, get_current_depth, next_token, get_token_name, get_token_type, is_tag_closer, get_modifiable_text all documented). The fatal error is conceptual, not API-misuse: it assumes the TITLE element contains a '#text' child token. It does not — for RAWTEXT/RCDATA elements (TITLE, TEXTAREA, SCRIPT, STYLE) the text is carried on the ELEMENT's own opening-tag token, so the '#text' branch never fires and it returns ''. Compounding bug: the depth guard ($current_depth >= $title_depth where $title_depth=3) exits immediately because the token after the TITLE opener is the HEAD closer at depth 1 (closers report the popped/parent depth). Idiomatic for ordinary containers, wrong for special elements. Empty-title and no-title pass by coincidence.

Same root misconception as trial-2 but expressed more naively: after landing on the TITLE opener it calls a single next_token() and expects a '#text' node carrying the title. The next token is actually the HEAD/BODY closer, so get_token_type() !== '#text' and it falls through to return ''. Less idiomatic than trial-2 because it also violates the documented warning that an element's text 'may be split across several consecutive #text tokens: accumulate text while walking rather than assuming one token carries all of an element's text' (html-processor.md next_token) — though here the deeper issue is that TITLE has NO #text child at all. Empty-title and no-title pass by coincidence; all non-empty titles fail. Decoded-text reasoning in the explanation is correct."

Its text content is carried directly on the TITLE opening-tag token; there is NO separate '#text' child token to visit. Probe confirms the token stream for '<head><title>Fish &amp; Chips</title></head>' is: HTML(opener) > HEAD(opener) > TITLE(opener, get_modifiable_text()='Fish & Chips') > HEAD(closer, depth=1) > BODY ... — the title text appears only on the TITLE opener, and the very next token is the HEAD closer.\\n\\n- trial-2: scans for tokens where get_token_type()==='#text' and accumulates them. No '#text' token ever exists inside TITLE, so the accumulator stays '' for every non-empty title. Secondary bug reinforcing the failure: its depth guard 'get_current_depth() >= $title_depth' (title_depth captured as 3) terminates the loop on the first iteration, because the token following the TITLE opener is the HEAD closer reported at depth 1 (closers report parent/popped depth).\\n- trial-3: after next_tag('title') lands on the TITLE opener, it calls next_token() once and checks for '#text'. The next token is a tag closer, not '#text', so it returns ''.\\n- trial-1 succeeds precisely because it reads get_modifiable_text() WHILE matched on the TITLE opener — the documented correct pattern.\\n\\nDOCUMENTATION RESPONSIBILITY: The docs actually got this RIGHT and prominently. html-processor.md get_modifiable_text() (lines 2103-2110) states: 'Note that for elements which cannot contain markup (SCRIPT, STYLE, TEXTAREA, TITLE), the text is carried by the ELEMENT's own token — there is no separate #text child to visit. Read it while matched on the element's opening tag:' and then shows the exact correct loop (TITLE opener + !is_tag_closer() + get_modifiable_text()). html-tag-processor.md reinforces this at lines 275-299 ('Tokens and modifiable text', 'The inner contents of these elements are that element's modifiable text') and lines 137/267-268 (the next_token switch with a dedicated 'case TITLE'). So this is NOT a missing-fact failure; it is a discoverability/salience failure. The misleading pull came from the MANY container-walk examples that the failing trials pattern-matched on: html-processor.md lines 627-636 (DL/DT), 648-653 (LI), 912-914 (UL), and the get_current_depth examples, all of which show 'collect #text while walking inside the element' — the right idiom for ordinary containers (P, DIV, LI) but a trap when applied to RAWTEXT/RCDATA elements. Both failing subjects generalized the container '#text' pattern to TITLE. The decisive, correct note lives only at the bottom of one method (get_modifiable_text), well after the prominent #text-collection examples, so subjects who anchored on the container examples never reconciled them with it.\"",

It does not warn, at that point of teaching, that this idiom DOES NOT apply to RAWTEXT/RCDATA 'special' elements (TITLE, TEXTAREA, SCRIPT, STYLE), which emit no '#text' child at all.

The closer-depth behavior is documented (lines 701-715) but not connected to the depth-guard collection recipe, so the failure mode is non-obvious.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a sentence to the depth-guard example noting that closers report the parent depth (already stated for is_tag_closer/next_token) AND that elements carrying their own text (TITLE etc.) need no walk at all — read them at the opener.

Because there are no failures, this analyzes what the docs did well and the near-misses in the subjects' reasoning.\n\nWhat the docs did well: The 'Which processor should I use?' section (html-tag-processor.md) and the 'Supported markup'/'HTML Support' sections (html-processor.md) steer subjects to the HTML Processor whenever 'is this element inside that one' or browser-faithful parsing matters. All three subjects correctly chose WP_HTML_Processor over WP_HTML_Tag_Processor precisely on this basis, which is what makes the two tricky cases (image-tag-becomes-img and img-inside-svg-breaks-out) pass automatically — the HTML Processor applies the browser's foreign-content breakout and the <image>→IMG mapping internally. The get_attribute docblock's explicit statement that values are 'returned DECODED' and that it returns string|true|null (with '' for present-but-empty) gave subjects exactly the right model for the null-vs-empty src filter, which every trial implemented correctly. The get_namespace docblock ('One of html, math, or svg') gave subjects a documented signal for the namespace guard.\n\nThe decisive correctness lever, however, is something the docs only imply rather than state: that next_tag('img') on the HTML Processor will NOT match the SVG <image> element (its DOM tag name is `image`, not `img`), and conversely that an <img> written inside <svg> breaks out of foreign content and is reported as an HTML IMG. None of the docs spell out either fact. The subjects got the right answer by trusting the HTML Processor's general 'parses as a browser would' guarantee and by adding a defensive get_namespace() === 'html' check. That check is actually dead code — verified by probe: every IMG matched by next_tag('img') is in the html namespace, and the svg <image> is never matched by an `img` query at all — but it reflects sound namespace reasoning and does no harm. The near-miss is conceptual: all three subjects believed the namespace guard was load-bearing for excluding SVG images, when in fact the exclusion comes for free from the tag-name mismatch (img vs image). A subject with a weaker grasp could have instead tried to query for tag_name 'image' (to catch SVG) or used the Tag Processor (which has no namespace awareness and would have matched the literal <image> source token, failing svg-image-excluded and image-tag-becomes-img). The docs' silence on the <image>/<img> distinction is the one gap that separates a robust solution from a lucky one here.",

Two consequences that this task hinges on are undocumented: (1) an HTML <image> tag in body context is parsed as an IMG element (the spec renames it), and (2) an <img> written inside <svg> breaks out of foreign content and becomes an HTML IMG rather than an SVG node. Subjects had to infer both from the general guarantee.",

+      "suggestion": "Note in get_namespace() (or in next_tag's query documentation) that tag-name and breadcrumb matching operate on the parsed DOM names within their namespace: a query of 'IMG' matches HTML img elements but does not match an SVG `image` element, since they are different element names in different namespaces.

This is the \"smoke\" test (difficulty: basic) and the documentation supported it completely. What the docs did well, mapped to the cases that could have tripped a subject:\n\n- uppercase-tag (<IMG SRC>): next_tag() docstring (lines 937-939) states tag-name matching is ASCII case-insensitive AND that original source casing is preserved in output. Subjects relied on this without writing any normalization. Correct.\n- inside-comment-ignored: next_tag() \"What this matches\" bullet (line 939) explicitly says tag-like text inside comments is text, not tags, and is never matched. All three explanations cite this; none attempted manual comment-skipping. Correct.\n- incomplete-tag-at-end (<img src=\"a.jpg with no closer): next_tag() bullet (line 941) and the \"When matching fails\" section (lines 92-119) state a truncated tag pauses the processor and is never matched/modified, so the trailing partial IMG is preserved untouched. Expected output preserves it byte-for-byte; candidates pass without special handling. Correct.\n- existing-classes: add_class()'s documented behavior plus the \"Modifying CSS classes\" examples (lines 184-217) show add_class appends to existing classes preserving whitespace and order; the \"Design and limitations\" note (line 328) reinforces order/whitespace preservation. Output 'photo large wp-image' matches. Correct.\n- unquoted-attributes: the byte-exact preservation contract in get_updated_html() (line 2297: every untouched byte returned exactly) means src=a.jpg width=10 survive unquoted while only the inserted class attribute is double-quoted. Note the doc caveat at line 328 — attribute UPDATES become double-quoted — correctly does NOT apply here because src/width are never updated, only the new class is added. Candidates pass.\n- no-images / simple / multiple: trivially covered by the loop-while-next_tag idiom shown in the Usage and Custom-queries sections.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations (not affecting scores, since adherence judges API usage and all is correct): trial-1 says add_class \"handles both cases where the class attribute doesn't exist (creates it) and where it does (appends)\" — accurate. All three correctly attribute comment-skipping to next_tag rather than inventing a guard. No explanation overreached into undocumented territory. The processor-choice reasoning in trials 2 and 3 (\"flat, position-based work\", \"byte-exact preservation\") quotes the decision guidance almost verbatim, indicating the \"Which processor should I use?\" section successfully steered subjects to the Tag Processor over the heavier HTML Processor.",

That trichotomy is exactly what distinguishes the three tricky cases (empty-href-counts, valueless-href-counts, no-href-skipped): all three subjects correctly translated it into a `null !== get_attribute('href')` guard rather than a truthiness check, so href=\\\"\\\" and bare href both correctly counted as present while a missing href was skipped. The existing-target-overwritten case was covered by line 156 ('If set_attribute() is called for an existing attribute it will overwrite the existing value'). The uppercase-HREF and lowercase-tag cases were covered by the documented ASCII case-insensitive matching (line 952) and by set_attribute preserving the original attribute name casing in output. The inside-comment-ignored and nested-markup cases fell out naturally from token-walking semantics (next_tag only stops on real tag openers, not text inside comments) which the docs describe via the token-stream model (line 970). Near-misses in the explanations: trial-1 loosely says get_attribute 'returns \\\"\\\" or true for present attributes' as if those were the only present-values, which understates that a normal value is returned verbatim — harmless here but a slight imprecision. All three explanations correctly credited byte-for-byte preservation to get_updated_html (docs line 2297).",

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed all 8 cases (24/24). This task's documentation was highly effective because the two markdown files contain a near-isomorphic worked example for exactly this problem. The WP_HTML_Processor::next_token() docblock includes a 'Collect the text content of the first LI element' example that records get_current_depth() at the opener, walks with `next_token() && get_current_depth() >= $depth`, and accumulates get_modifiable_text() on '#text' tokens -- structurally identical to get_first_h1_text. The get_current_depth() docblock reinforces the same idiom with a UL example and, crucially, explains BOTH the continue-form (`>=`) and the break-form (`< $depth`), with an explicit warning that `>` / `<=` would terminate early at the first nested child closer and drop trailing text. Trial-3 used the break-form, trials 1 and 2 used a hybrid (break on `<`, redundant re-check on `>=`); all are covered.\\n\\nThe edge cases that typically trip up implementations were each pre-empted by a documented fact:\\n- image-only -> '' (not null): an empty H1 produces no '#text' token, so the accumulator stays '' and is returned; the task requires '' here, and the docs' pattern naturally yields it. The Tag Processor 'Building markup from a template' note ('an empty element contains no text node') plus get_modifiable_text returning '' for non-text tokens make this behavior discoverable.\\n- unclosed-h1 -> full text: the next_token() docblock states the HTML Processor 'visits a closing token for every element it opens, including ... elements left unclosed at the end of the input,' and the LI example explicitly says 'The unclosed LI and UL still produce closing tokens at the end of the input.' This told subjects the depth-walk terminates cleanly even on truncated input, so none of them special-cased it.\\n- entities-decoded -> '&', em-dash: get_modifiable_text() and the special-elements section document that text/character references are decoded; the get_attribute() note 'String values are returned DECODED ... Do not decode the returned value again' generalizes the decoding contract, so no subject double-decoded or hand-rolled html_entity_decode.\\n- first-of-two / nested-in-div: next_tag('H1') stops at the first match and the breadcrumbs/depth machinery handles arbitrary nesting; the get_breadcrumbs() and get_current_depth() examples cover deep nesting.\\n\\nNear-misses in code (not failures): trials 1 and 2 carry a redundant `current_depth >= h1_depth` condition that is unreachable as written (the loop already breaks when depth < h1_depth). This is harmless dead code, suggesting slight uncertainty about whether the depth filter and the loop guard are the same invariant -- the docs present both the continue-form and break-form but a reader could conflate them into a belief that both a guard AND a per-token check are needed. Trial-2 also dropped the documented `null === create_fragment` guard; create_fragment's return type is documented as `static|null`, so the omission is a code-quality lapse rather than a doc gap (the inputs never trigger null).\"}",

A reader could reasonably wonder whether to return null in that case.",

This generalizes the 'text content of markup-only elements is empty' rule without encoding any specific task."

Two of three subjects wrote a redundant second depth check inside the loop (dead code), indicating the docs leave room to believe both a loop guard and an in-body depth filter are independently required.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a one-sentence clarification that the loop guard alone bounds the subtree; inside the loop you only need to test the token TYPE (e.g. '#text'), not re-test depth: 'Once the loop guard restricts iteration to depth >= D, every token the loop body sees is already inside the element -- filter only on token type, not depth again.'"

One subject (trial-2) followed that example shape and omitted the guard, leaving a latent fatal-error path on null.",

Two harmless deviations from the minimal idiom: (a) an extra next_tag('figcaption') before the token loop — redundant but correct, since after the img the first #text token is the figcaption's anyway (verified by probe); (b) a non-empty alt='.' placeholder, harmless because set_attribute overwrites.

The documentation is the direct cause of this success — it contains a near-complete worked solution for this task class.\n\nTwo sections did the heavy lifting:\n1. 'Building markup from a template' (html-tag-processor.md lines 158-182) gives the exact pattern: write a literal template, include attributes with empty values to preserve their written order, include placeholder text inside elements, then replace via the API. Its example (an <a href='' title=''>.</a>) is structurally isomorphic to the required <figure><img><figcaption> shape, and all three trials transcribed its next_token()/get_token_type()==='#text'/set_modifiable_text()/break loop verbatim.\n2. The set_modifiable_text() method docs (lines 1864-1888) reinforce the two failure modes that would otherwise have produced wrong output: (a) calling set_modifiable_text on a container element like FIGCAPTION returns false and changes nothing (line 1876), and (b) an empty element has no #text token to set, so a placeholder is required (line 1878). This pre-empted the most likely error — trying to set caption text by matching the figcaption tag directly — and indeed no trial attempted it. The section even uses a <figure><figcaption>.</figcaption></figure> example.\n\nThe encoding edge cases (unicode, &, quotes, <>, and the unparsed-<script> injection) all passed because the docs state plainly and repeatedly that set_attribute and set_modifiable_text accept plain/unescaped strings and encode as needed (lines 1491, 1849, 1914-1925; 2142-2145 for set_attribute), and that get_updated_html returns untouched bytes verbatim (line 2297). The subjects never hand-escaped, so they never double-encoded.\n\nAttribute ordering (src before alt) — a tested constraint — was satisfied because all three placed the attributes in the template rather than adding them, exactly as line 162 instructs ('Attributes ADDED to a tag are placed after the tag name sorted by name, not in call order'). Had any trial added attributes to a bare <img> they would have failed; the doc warning prevented this.\n\nNear-misses in explanations: trial-1's confidence (72) is mildly under-calibrated relative to its fully-correct output. No explanation contained a factual error. The only latent fragility across all trials is that the token-walking loop assumes the first #text token belongs to the figcaption; this is true here (img carries no text) and is implicitly safe given the template, but none of the explanations articulate why the first #text is guaranteed to be the caption — a robustness gap in reasoning, not a correctness failure.",
+  "doc_gaps": [
+    {
+      "location": "html-tag-processor.md — 'Building markup from a template' section (lines 158-182)",
+      "problem": "The template recipe's token loop grabs the FIRST #text token after positioning, which works only when no earlier element in the template carries its own text. The example doesn't state this assumption, so a subject building a more complex template (e.g. a leading text node, or two captioned elements) could match the wrong text node. All three trials relied on this implicitly without understanding why it is safe here.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence noting that next_token() walks ALL tokens in document order, so the loop lands on the first #text node reached — to target a specific element's text, advance the cursor to that element first (e.g. next_tag) before starting the #text loop, or guard with breadcrumbs. This generalizes the recipe beyond single-text-node templates."

+    {
+      "location": "html-tag-processor.md — set_modifiable_text() (line 1867) and the template recipe (lines 173-178)",
+      "problem": "Both the recipe and the method docs show set_modifiable_text() called without checking its return value, while the prose (line 1876) insists 'Always check the return value.' The example code contradicts its own stated rule, modeling a pattern that silently no-ops on container/empty-element mismatches.",
+      "suggestion": "Make the canonical example match the stated guidance: either wrap the call in an if() that handles a false return, or add an inline comment at the call site reminding that a false return means no #text token was matched. Consistent examples prevent the recipe from teaching the very anti-pattern the prose warns against."

The task is a strong showcase of what the documentation gets right, so the analysis focuses on the near-misses the docs successfully prevented.\n\nThe two genuinely tricky cases were script-excluded and entities-count-decoded, and the docs defused both:\n\n1. script-excluded (\"<p>before</p><script>var x = 'hidden';</script><p>after</p>\" -> \"beforeafter\"). The trap: get_modifiable_text() explicitly INCLUDES SCRIPT/STYLE contents (stated three times across both files, e.g. html-processor.md:2096, html-tag-processor.md:1834). A subject who walked all tokens and concatenated get_modifiable_text() unconditionally — or who filtered by element name instead of token type — would have leaked the script body. All three correctly filtered on '#text' === get_token_type(). The decisive passage is html-processor.md:2103: \"for elements which cannot contain markup (SCRIPT, STYLE, TEXTAREA, TITLE), the text is carried by the ELEMENT's own token — there is no separate #text child to visit.\" Confirmed by probe: SCRIPT content surfaces as token type '#tag'/name 'SCRIPT', never as '#text'. Because the task wants text-node content only, '#text' filtering is exactly right and the docs make that distinction explicit. This was the most likely failure point and the docs covered it well.\n\n2. entities-count-decoded (\"<p>Fish &amp; Chips</p>\", 6 -> \"Fish &\"). The trap is double-decoding (turning &amp; into & yourself after the parser already did) or counting raw bytes. The docs state plainly that #text is returned DECODED and \"Do not decode it again\" (html-processor.md:2100; html-tag-processor.md:1838 even uses the exact \"&amp; is returned as &\" example), and instruct passing an explicit UTF-8 encoding when measuring/slicing by code points. All three followed this verbatim.\n\n3. multibyte-emoji / accented (codepoint-accurate truncation). The docs' inline guidance \"when measuring or slicing by code points pass an explicit encoding, e.g. mb_substr( $text, 0, $limit, 'UTF-8' )\" (html-processor.md:2100-2101) is essentially the answer; every trial used the exact form. Probe confirms 🌨️ is 2 codepoints (U+1F328 + U+FE0F variation selector) and mb_substr at limit 4 keeps \"ab\" + emoji.\n\n4. malformed-nesting and interelement-whitespace passed because next_token() walks the parser's normalized token stream and reports inter-element whitespace as #text nodes; the task spec told subjects this, and the docs' token-walk model is consistent with it. No subject tried to normalize whitespace.\n\nThe only divergence among trials was trial-1's incremental per-token counting versus trials 2/3's accumulate-then-mb_substr. Both are correct; the per-token approach is not better-documented, just an independent (valid) design. No misconceptions surfaced.",

Every piece is documented — get_token_type() lists '#tag' explicitly (html-tag-processor.md:1692), is_tag_closer and get_token_name both present — so no hallucination. But the docs show next_tag('A') for exactly this opener-finding job (html-tag-processor.md:58-59), making the manual reconstruction redundant. The inner depth-walk and get_modifiable_text usage are correct and match the documented pattern. Edge cases all handled identically to trial 1. Deduction is purely for choosing a more verbose path over the documented next_tag shortcut, not for any error. The mixing of outer next_token() with an inner next_token() walk is correct here only because the parser auto-closes nested A elements; the explanation does not show awareness of that subtlety, but no test exercises it."

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed in any trial: 24/24 across the three trials. The documentation was sufficient and, for this task, notably strong. The decisive passages: (1) get_current_depth()'s docblock (html-processor.md:865+) spells out the exact subtree-text idiom — \"record the depth when matched on its opening tag and continue while the depth remains at or above that value\" — and the worked UL example at lines 913-914 even annotates \"// >= and not >.\" All three trials reproduced this guard verbatim, which is why the unclosed-link case (the closer/end never reports a depth below the opener) and the image-only case (no #text descendant) both came out right without special handling. (2) get_attribute()'s signature `string|true|null` plus the inline examples (enabled === true, aria-label === null, html-processor.md:1857-1862) directly drove the two attribute-edge cases: null -> exclude the anchor, true -> emit 'href' => true for `<a href>`. (3) get_modifiable_text()'s note that \"&amp; is returned as &. Do not decode the returned string again\" (html-processor.md:1838) and get_attribute returning the decoded value covered both entity cases (href and text) with no manual html_entity_decode, which would have double-decoded. (4) get_token_type() enumerating '#text' and '#tag' (html-tag-processor.md:1692-1694) supported both the inner #text filter (all trials) and trial 2's manual #tag opener detection. Near-misses in the explanations: trial 1 under-reported confidence (72) despite a flawless reference-grade solution. Trial 2's explanation does not acknowledge that interleaving an inner next_token() walk under an outer next_token() loop is only safe because A elements cannot nest (the parser auto-closes them); a probe with literally nested anchors confirms correct behavior, but no test covers it, so the gap in understanding went unpenalized by the suite. The only adherence cost was trial 2 rebuilding next_tag('A')'s functionality by hand — a style/idiom issue, not a correctness one.",

It does not state explicitly that this loop, when the outer iteration is also next_token()-driven, re-enters correctly because each inner advance leaves the cursor positioned for the outer loop to resume. Trial 2 nested next_token() loops and got lucky; a reader could reasonably fear the inner walk would skip the next opener.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to the get_current_depth walk example noting that after the inner 'while depth >= N' loop exits, the cursor is already positioned on the first token at depth < N, so an enclosing next_token()/next_tag() loop continues correctly from there without re-reading or skipping a token."

A reader counting on raw depth to bound a subtree could mis-handle apparently-nested anchors. Trial 2's pattern depends on this auto-closing behavior for correctness yet the docs never surface it.",
+      "suggestion": "In the structural-awareness section, add a short note that the HTML Processor follows HTML's tree-construction rules, so some elements implicitly close earlier ones (e.g., a new <a> or <p> auto-closes an open one of the same type). Cross-reference get_current_depth() so readers know depth reflects the spec-corrected tree, not the literal source nesting."

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed 7/7, including the discriminating edge cases. The documentation succeeded on the points that matter for this task.\n\nWhat the docs did well:\n1. Processor selection. html-tag-processor.md:20 explicitly tells the reader that get_breadcrumbs() and get_current_depth() do NOT exist on the Tag Processor and belong to WP_HTML_Processor, which 'adds full structural awareness.' This steered every subject to the correct class. A subject who reached for the Tag Processor would have failed the deep-ancestor, nested-blockquotes, and implicitly-closed cases.\n\n2. The breadcrumbs concept section (html-processor.md:50-54) states breadcrumbs are 'the stack of open elements from the root ... down to the currently-matched node' and that they always contain implicit HTML/BODY. This made the ancestor-anywhere requirement trivially expressible as in_array('BLOCKQUOTE', get_breadcrumbs()). The ready-made pattern at html-processor.md:669 (in_array('LI', $processor->get_breadcrumbs(), true)) was copied near-verbatim.\n\n3. The implicitly-closed-paragraphs case (<p>first<p>second</blockquote>) is the trap that separates a real tree-aware parser from naive string matching. All trials passed it for free because they relied on the Processor's breadcrumbs rather than tracking open/close tags manually. The docs' emphasis on 'full awareness of document structure' (html-processor.md:614) is what made subjects trust breadcrumbs instead of hand-rolling ancestor tracking.\n\n4. add_class + get_updated_html: the docs repeatedly and emphatically distinguish get_updated_html() (the way to read edits) from serialize() (html-processor.md:996, :1064-1065, html-tag-processor.md:2297). No subject mistakenly used serialize(); all used get_updated_html() correctly. The existing-class-preserved case passed because add_class is documented to preserve existing classes and whitespace (html-tag-processor.md:328).\n\nNear-misses in reasoning (not failures): None of the three trials excluded the currently-matched node from the breadcrumbs check (the reference uses array_slice(...,0,-1)). This is the one place a subject could have introduced a bug had the target tag name been able to equal the ancestor tag name (e.g., 'mark every BLOCKQUOTE that has a BLOCKQUOTE ancestor'). The docs state breadcrumbs include the matched node (html-processor.md:841-854 example ends in the matched IMG), but do not call out that self-inclusion as a caveat to watch for when testing ancestry. Here it was harmless; in a self-referential variant it would have caused false positives. The trials' explanations describe breadcrumbs as 'the ancestor path' / 'full ancestor path,' which is subtly inaccurate — breadcrumbs include the node itself — but the inaccuracy did not affect output for this task.\"",

Every trial described breadcrumbs as 'the ancestor path,' implying it excludes self. This is harmless when the searched-for ancestor tag differs from the matched tag (as here, P vs BLOCKQUOTE) but would silently produce false positives in any self-referential ancestry check (e.g., 'a DIV nested inside another DIV').",
+      "suggestion": "Add one explicit sentence to the get_breadcrumbs() description: 'The last element of the returned array is always the currently-matched node itself; ancestors precede it.

No _doing_it_wrong records. Passed 8/8. Main idiom deduction: it uses THREE levels of nested next_token() walk loops (table-walk -> per-row walk -> per-cell walk), directly contravening the bold 'There is only ONE cursor... do not nest walk loops' guidance under next_token() (html-processor.md line 620). It only passes because implicit </td>/</tr> closer tokens sit between cells and absorb the one-token skip the nesting would otherwise cause; the grammar is forgiving, not the code. Edge cases: empty cell handled via $cell_text='' default; entities/markup handled correctly via get_modifiable_text accumulation. Latent bug not exercised by tests: the `! empty( $row )` guard would drop a row whose sole cell is the empty string, and `! empty()` cannot distinguish '' from a real cell. Breadcrumb parent-validation (checking TR is child of TABLE/TBODY/THEAD/TFOOT) is sound and uses documented get_breadcrumbs semantics.

Confirmed by probe: the </thead> closer reports depth 3 == table_depth (closers report the PARENT depth per is_tag_closer() docs), so the loop breaks before <tbody> is reached, dropping rows a and b. This is the documented `>` vs `>=` boundary pitfall (html-processor.md lines 662-664, 914), applied to the table boundary: `<=` for break is equivalent to `>` for continue and terminates at the first structural closer that returns to table-content depth.

Slightly more idiomatic than trial-1 (no nested loops); scored marginally higher despite one failure because the API usage pattern is cleaner."

The redundant `! empty( $current_row ) || count( $current_row ) > 0` condition shows uncertainty about empty-row semantics but is harmless. cell_depth is captured but only used as a non-null in_cell flag, never compared, so it provides no bounding.

+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "Two distinct failures, both about the BOUNDARY of the walk rather than about cell/row mechanics, plus one near-miss that passed.\n\nFAILURE 1 - trial-2, case thead-tbody (got [[\"H\"]], expected [[\"H\"],[\"a\"],[\"b\"]]): Misconception = the table can be bounded with a single depth comparison and that intermediate structural closers (</thead>, </tbody>) sit at a depth strictly greater than the table opener. Probe confirms table_depth=3 and the </thead> closer reports depth 3 (== table_depth), because a closer reports the PARENT context's depth, not the closed element's. The candidate's break `if ( $current_depth <= $table_depth ) break;` therefore fires on </thead>, terminating the walk before <tbody>. Responsible documentation: the is_tag_closer() section (html-processor.md lines 707-720) DOES state 'the closer of an element reports a depth one less than its opener did,' and the next_token()/get_current_depth() examples (lines 662-664, 911-914) DO spell out the `>=` vs `>` pitfall. The information needed to avoid this exists, but it is framed around bounding a SINGLE element (the LI/UL examples). The docs never show bounding a walk to 'everything strictly inside an element X' where X has intermediate child elements with their own closers; a reader correctly applying the `>=`-to-continue rule to the table's CONTENTS depth would survive, but a reader bounding on the table OPENER depth with `<=`-to-break hits exactly the closer-reports-parent-depth trap. Gap is one of emphasis/example coverage, not a missing fact.\n\nFAILURE 2 - trial-3, case first-table-only (got two rows, expected one): Misconception = the implicit closers and TR/TD bookkeeping alone constrain the walk to the first table; the candidate believed once you next_tag() into the first TABLE, walking tokens stays within it. In reality next_token() walks the ENTIRE remaining document; after </table> the cursor enters the sibling second table (probe confirmed). The candidate's loop had no depth guard and no breadcrumb guard at all. Responsible documentation: every canonical walk example in the next_token() and get_current_depth() sections pairs the loop with a bounding guard (lines 651, 669, 914), and line 620 explicitly motivates state-tracking, but no single passage states the blunt rule 'next_token() does not stop at the end of the element you matched with next_tag(); an unbounded next_token() loop runs to the end of the document.' The guard appears only inside worked examples, so a reader who copies the dispatch structure (state variables, closer-driven flush) but not the loop-condition guard -- as trial-3 did -- loses the boundary. This is the highest-value gap: it caused the failure in the trial that was otherwise the most faithful to the single-loop idiom.\n\nNEAR-MISS - trial-1 (passed 8/8): It violated the most prominent prose instruction ('do not nest walk loops', line 620) yet passed, because implicit </td>/</tr> closer tokens are emitted between sibling cells and absorb the single token that the nested inner loop's exit causes the outer loop to skip. This is luck inherent to table grammar, not correctness; the same nesting structure on a grammar without intervening closers (e.g. consecutive <img> siblings) would silently drop regions. The docs' warning is correct and would have steered the subject to the safer single-loop shape; the subject ignored it and was rescued by the markup. Its explanation correctly credits get_modifiable_text() for decoding character references (matches docs) and correctly reasons about depth tracking.\n\nAcross all three, cell-text accumulation, character-reference decoding (get_modifiable_text), TD/TH-both-count, and omitted-closer handling were understood by every subject -- the next_token() prose on 'visits a closing token for every opener, including implicit and end-of-input closes' (line 616) and 'text may be split across several #text tokens' (line 618) did their job. The only systematic weakness is bounding the walk to a single element/subtree: the off-by-one boundary (trial-2) and the missing boundary entirely (trial-3).",

This directly caused trial-3 to read a second sibling table.",

A subject who bounds on the opener depth with `<=`-to-break (trial-2) breaks early on the first intermediate closer (</thead> reports the table's own content depth).

A reader who tries nesting on a forgiving grammar gets passing tests and a false sense that nesting is fine, then ships code that silently drops regions on a grammar without intervening closer tokens (e.g. consecutive void-element siblings). The doc gives the rule but no concrete demonstration of the failure it prevents.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a brief contrasting failure example showing nested loops dropping a sibling: an outer loop scanning repeated regions whose inner loop ends matched on the next region's opener, so the outer loop's next next_token() skips that opener. Note that whether the bug manifests depends on whether a closer token sits between siblings, so passing tests on one grammar do not validate the nested pattern -- reinforcing why the single-loop state-machine shape is the rule, not a style preference."

It creates a fragment parser, finds the first TABLE element using next_tag(), then walks all tokens via next_token() while tracking depth to know when we exit the table. Text nodes are accumulated only when inside a cell (in_cell flag is true), and modifiable_text() provides decoded character references. Cells are properly delimited by TD/TH tag boundaries, and rows are delimited by TR tag boundaries. The function also handles omitted closing tags by checking for new cell/row opens which implicitly close previous ones.",

This is a clean win for the documentation, so the analysis focuses on which doc passages drove the success and where the explanations show only minor weakness.\n\nDoc passages that carried the load:\n\n1. serialize_token() / token-rewriting pattern (html-processor.md L1036-1062). The narrative at L1046 — 'Walking every token with next_token and concatenating serialize_token() for each one reconstructs the normalized serialization of the input ... a rewriting loop can transform the document while serializing ... emit extra markup around them to insert wrappers' — is exactly the mental model needed. All three subjects produced the canonical `$output .= serialize_token()` accumulation with `'<mark>' . serialize_token() . '</mark>'` for matches. This passage is the single most important reason the task succeeded; it told subjects to build output by concatenation rather than reaching for get_updated_html or set_modifiable_text.\n\n2. get_modifiable_text() decoded-text semantics (html-processor.md L2100-2101): 'For #text nodes ... the returned text is DECODED: character references have been replaced by the characters they represent.' This directly produced correct behavior on entity-encoded-keyword-matches ('w&#111;rld' matching 'world'). No subject double-decoded or matched against raw bytes.\n\n3. get_token_type() returning '#text' (html-processor.md L1810, with worked '#text' comparisons at L635/L652 and in the Tag Processor at html-tag-processor.md L174). This gave subjects the exact string literal to compare against, so the keyword-in-comment-not-wrapped and keyword-in-attribute-not-wrapped cases worked for free: comments are a different token type and attribute text is never surfaced as modifiable #text, so neither could be mistaken for a matchable text node.\n\n4. create_fragment() default BODY context (html-processor.md L348-431, plus the choose-the-processor guidance at L81 and html-tag-processor.md L24): subjects correctly picked the structure-aware processor that normalizes (closes optional/unclosed tags, re-encodes &AMP; to &amp;), satisfying simple-unclosed and normalization-side-effects without any manual tag-closing logic.\n\nNear-misses / weaknesses in the explanations (not failures):\n- The split-across-elements-no-match case (`<p>wor<em>ld</em></p>`) passes by accident of correct design rather than explicit reasoning: none of the three explanations note WHY a keyword split across two text nodes can't match (each #text node is tested independently and 'wor'/'ld' individually lack 'world'). The behavior is right, but the reasoning is implicit. The docs do not explicitly state that adjacent text interrupted by an element produces separate #text tokens; subjects relied on the natural one-token-per-node model without confirmation.\n- trial-2's confidence (45) badly undersold a correct, idiomatic solution — a calibration miss, not an API miss.\n- trial-3 added a documented-but-dead normalize() fallback; harmless, but shows mild uncertainty about what create_fragment returns on failure and what the function should do then (the spec is silent on null handling).",

All three subjects got the split-across-elements case right by intuition rather than by a documented guarantee; a subject who assumed text nodes are coalesced across element boundaries would have written matching logic that fails this case.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to get_modifiable_text() (or the token-walking overview) noting that each contiguous run of character data is its own #text token, and that an intervening element (e.g. <em>) splits surrounding text into distinct #text tokens — there is no merging of text across element boundaries. A two-line example ('wor<em>ld</em>' -> #text 'wor', EM open, #text 'ld') would make the boundary semantics concrete."

This left trial-3 guessing — it added a normalize() fallback on the null branch that is both unnecessary and inconsistent with the bare-'' choice other implementations make.",
+      "suggestion": "In create_fragment()'s return/description section, state briefly under what conditions null is returned (and that for ordinary BODY-context fragment strings it effectively never is), and note that callers should handle null explicitly. This prevents speculative fallback code and clarifies that an empty/throwaway return is acceptable when the input cannot be parsed."

This task only required wrapping a single self-contained #text token, so it dodged the harder bookkeeping; a slightly different task (wrap an entire element and its subtree) would have no worked example to follow.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short companion example to the existing serialize_token() loop showing how to wrap a whole element: emit the wrapper open before the element's opening token and the wrapper close after its closing token, using is_tag_closer()/depth to pair them. This generalizes the documented single-token wrapping to the multi-token case without encoding any specific task."

The set_bookmark docs (line 1161) explicitly state that re-setting a name already in use MOVES the bookmark and 'does not leak the old one or require releasing it first' — so the in-loop release is dead code reflecting a slight misread of the move-semantics guarantee.

This task was strongly supported by the documentation. The crux of the problem — efficiently identifying the LAST matching tag in a single forward pass without knowing the total count — is covered by a near-verbatim worked example in html-tag-processor.md under set_bookmark() (lines 1124-1161): the 'last-li' pattern that re-sets the same bookmark name on each match and seeks to it once after the scan. The clincher sentence at line 1161 ('Setting a bookmark with a name that is already in use MOVES that bookmark to the current location ... Re-setting the same name on every match is the supported idiom for remembering the last X seen so far ... without hitting the bookmark limit') told subjects both the technique AND why it scales for the large/many-H2 cases. All three subjects found and applied this idiom, which is why they all chose the Tag Processor rather than the heavier HTML Processor.\\n\\nThe other two edge cases were also explicitly documented and handled correctly: (1) comment-h2-not-counted passed because next_tag() docs state at line 939 'Only real HTML tags can match. Tag-like text inside comments ... is never matched or modified' — so the fake H2 inside the comment was correctly skipped. (2) existing-class passed because add_class() preserves existing classes and whitespace/ordering (html-tag-processor.md line 328), appending 'final-section' to the existing 'outro' rather than overwriting. The no-headings-unchanged case passed because all three guarded the seek/add_class behind a found-flag (seek() truthiness in trial-1, has_bookmark() in trials 2-3), and get_updated_html() returns untouched bytes verbatim (line 2297: 'Every byte the updates did not touch is returned exactly as it appeared in the input').\\n\\nNear-misses in the explanations: only trial-1's code had a non-idiomatic artifact (redundant in-loop release_bookmark of the same name about to be re-set), reflecting that the move-semantics guarantee at line 1161 was read but not fully internalized — the subject defensively released even though the docs say it is unnecessary. The explanations were otherwise accurate; all three correctly described the move-on-re-set semantics and the comment-exclusion reasoning. No subject reached for the HTML Processor, breadcrumbs, or serialize() where they were not needed, which is the correct restraint for a flat single-attribute edit.",

Trial-1 defensively called release_bookmark() on a bookmark immediately before re-setting the same name in a loop — dead, non-idiomatic code — because the relationship between the two methods is only spelled out on the set_bookmark side. A reader landing on release_bookmark first does not learn that re-setting a name makes a prior release unnecessary.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a one-line note to release_bookmark() such as: 'You do not need to release a bookmark before re-using its name; re-calling set_bookmark() with an existing name simply moves it (see set_bookmark).

Two of three subjects independently rediscovered has_bookmark() as the clean way to detect 'was anything found?', but the docs never present this idiom directly, so a less capable reader could instead track a separate boolean or mis-handle the no-match path.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short, self-contained example (under set_bookmark or has_bookmark) for the terminal-edit case: set a bookmark on each match in a while loop, then after the loop `if ( $p->has_bookmark( 'last' ) ) { $p->seek( 'last' ); /* edit */ }`.

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed in any trial: all three pass 9/9, matching the canonical reference exactly. Each calls WP_HTML_Processor::normalize() on both inputs, returns false if either is null, and compares the normalized strings.\n\nWhy the docs succeeded here: the normalize() docblock (html-processor.md, 'normalize()' heading) is the decisive passage. It (1) names the method as 'Normalizes an HTML fragment by serializing it', (2) explicitly enumerates the exact equivalences the task cares about — 'Attribute values will be double-quoted', 'Duplicate attributes will be removed', 'Omitted tags will be added', 'Tag and attribute name casing will be lower-cased', 'Text will be re-encoded' (covering the &amp;/&AMP; entity-spelling case), and 'Any incomplete syntax trailing at the end will be omitted' — and (3) documents the null return: 'Normalized output, or null if unable to normalize.' Three worked examples make the canonical-form intent unmistakable. This let every subject converge on the one-line idiomatic solution rather than hand-rolling a token walk that would have risked depth/breadcrumb/closer mistakes.\n\nThe 'return false if either input cannot be parsed' requirement maps cleanly onto the documented null return. The misnesting-unsupported-false case (`<b>one<i>two</b>three</i>`) is correctly handled because normalize() returns null on unsupported markup — and crucially the HTML-Support section (html-processor.md) gives that EXACT mis-nested formatting example as a construct that aborts parsing, plus the statement that 'methods which produce output (such as serialize() and normalize()) return null' when get_last_error is non-null. So the docs even pre-explained the one tricky negative case by name.\n\nNear-miss in the explanations: all three explanations assert normalize handles 'attribute order' equivalence by omission, but none explicitly note that attribute ORDER is preserved (not normalized) — which is in fact why attribute-order-differs correctly returns false. The subjects got the right answer but for a slightly under-stated reason: they leaned on 'duplicate attributes removed' and 'double-quoted' without articulating that original source order is retained. The docs do not state attribute-order preservation explicitly, so the subjects could not have articulated it; they got lucky that normalize's behavior matched the expectation. This is the only doc-derived soft spot, captured below.\n\nThe serialize() 'Cannot serialize HTML Processor with parsing error: unsupported.' trigger_error appearing in every execution.json for the misnesting case is not attributable to any candidate: probing normalize() directly on that input shows it returns NULL and emits zero PHP errors. The record is a harness/reference-path artifact, not API misuse, and does not affect adherence.\"",

In particular, attribute ORDER is left unchanged.

Without that link a subject might assume null only means truncated/incomplete syntax.",

The documentation drove this success directly and unusually cleanly. The decisive passage is the serialize_token() docblock (html-processor.md lines 1036-1062), whose worked example is structurally the exact solution: a next_token() loop that `continue`s on a target tag (\"Remove every SUP element but keep its contents... Skips both the opener and the closer\") and concatenates serialize_token() otherwise. All three subjects transcribed this pattern with SPAN substituted for SUP. Three supporting passages closed the edge cases the test suite probes: (1) the next_token() docblock's guarantee that 'the HTML Processor visits a closing token for every element it opens, including... elements left unclosed at the end of the input' (lines 614-617) is what makes the unclosed-span and adjacent-spans cases serialize correctly without special handling — subjects did not have to reason about it because skipping both tokens of an element just works. (2) The 'Which processor should I use?' guidance (tag-processor.md lines 18-25 and html-processor.md line 81) steered every subject to the HTML Processor by naming 'producing normalized output' and 'collecting an element's text / walking a subtree' as its domain, avoiding the trap of reaching for the Tag Processor (which cannot pair openers with closers and would mangle the unclosed span). (3) The serialize_token normalization list (and the mirrored normalize()/serialize() examples) assured subjects that attribute double-quoting, optional-tag closing, and canonical text re-encoding are automatic, which is why the attributes-discarded and no-spans-normalized-passthrough (&AMP; -> &amp;, implicit </p></div>) cases passed without any manual encoding. Near-misses in reasoning, not affecting results: every subject's explanation claims serialize_token() lower-cases tag names 'except SVG/MathML' and double-quotes attributes — true, but copied from the normalize()/serialize() bullet lists rather than the serialize_token() heading itself, which does not restate the full normalization list; the subjects correctly assumed token-level serialization shares the same normalization, which the docs imply ('reconstructs the normalized serialization of the input — the same output that serialize() produces') but do not spell out per-token. A second near-miss: all three skip on get_tag() alone without the reference's '#tag' === get_token_type() guard. This is safe only because get_tag() returns null for non-tag tokens (documented at html-processor.md get_tag Returns, and modeled in the SUP example which also omits the guard); no subject articulated why it is safe, so the correctness here rode on copying the example rather than understanding the null contract.",

Subject: [PATCH 035/193] HTML API docs round 11 hypotheses: the equality case
 is the reason for >=; empty regions flush naturally.

A T03 trial per round still samples the '>' bound. The docs show the
equality numerically but never say it is THE reason for '>=': a child
closer reports a depth EQUAL to the matched ancestor's opener depth
(verified again). Stated causally now. Also the closer-driven
state-machine note gains the empty-region property T08 judges flagged:
empty elements produce opener+closer back-to-back, so the flush
records '' rather than skipping.

+## Round 10 — Haiku, T08 perfect for the first time
+
+**Train 98.70 — new high.** T08 +10.0 → 96.8 with 8/8 in every trial
+(RCDATA-on-the-walk-path + walk-to-EOF caveat completed the cursor
+series begun in round 9). Failure-handling and classes at 100. The
+only functional miss in the whole train set: one T03 trial (7/8) again
+sampling the `>` bound; judges note the equality case (child closer
+depth == ancestor opener depth) is shown numerically but never stated
+as the REASON for `>=`.
+
+Round-11 hypotheses (committed): the equality case stated causally on
+get_current_depth(); empty-region flush property added to the
+closer-driven state-machine note.
+
 ## Round 9 — Haiku, checkpoint: train 98.66 (high), shared-cursor fix lands
 
 **All-19 96.58 / train 98.66 (+1.0, new high) / held-out 88.79.**

This is a documentation success story with an identifiable cause. The `paused_at_incomplete_token()` docblock (html-tag-processor.md lines 1015-1047) contains exactly the recipe the task requires: a first short example showing `next_tag()` then `paused_at_incomplete_token()`, followed by a second example explicitly captioned 'In a longer document, drain all tokens first; this method reports the state at the point scanning stopped' that shows the precise `while ( $processor->next_token() ) { continue; } $was_truncated = $processor->paused_at_incomplete_token();` pattern. All three subjects lifted this idiom directly. Several supporting passages reinforced the correct model and headed off plausible failure modes: (1) 'When matching fails' (lines 92-119) explains that a false return can mean either 'tag not found' OR 'input ended mid-syntax-element,' and that a special element like SCRIPT with no closer counts as incomplete — directly covering the unterminated-script case a naive implementation could miss. (2) next_token()'s docblock (line 972) states that hitting end-of-document mid-token pauses and returns false, making the drain loop's terminating condition unambiguous. (3) The Tag Processor's documented lack of tree awareness aligns with the task's `<div>unclosed element` note, so subjects correctly returned false there. The only near-miss is conceptual, not behavioral: none of the explanations articulate WHY the lone-`<` and `<div>unclosed` cases return false at the lexical level — they assert the correct outcome but lean on the task prompt's framing, because the docs never state that a trailing bare `<` is tokenized as text rather than an incomplete tag start.",

Subjects produced correct behavior here only because the task prompt spelled this out; absent that framing the asymmetry (some trailing `<`-syntax pauses, some does not) is non-obvious and a reader could wrongly expect `ends with <` to pause.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one or two contrasting negative examples to the method docblock, e.g. show that `new WP_HTML_Tag_Processor( 'text <' )` drains fully with paused_at_incomplete_token() === false (a lone trailing `<` is text), and that `'<div>text'` is also false (an unclosed element is lexically complete) — versus `'<div class=\"x'` which is true. Stating the rule 'this reports incomplete LEXICAL tokens, not unclosed elements; a bare trailing < is text' generalizes beyond this task."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor — 'Special self-contained elements' / 'When matching fails' sections",
+      "problem": "The docs state that an unclosed special element (SCRIPT/STYLE/etc.) 'will count as an incomplete tag' and pause the processor, but this fact lives only in the 'When matching fails' narrative for next_tag(); it is not cross-referenced from paused_at_incomplete_token(). A reader landing on the truncation-detection method would not know that `<script>var x = 1;` (a fully-formed opening tag whose raw-text content runs to EOF) reports as incomplete, which is counterintuitive since the opening tag itself is complete.",
+      "suggestion": "From the paused_at_incomplete_token() docblock, add a sentence and {@see} cross-reference noting that an unterminated special/rawtext element (SCRIPT, STYLE, TITLE, TEXTAREA, etc.) whose contents run to the end of input is also reported as incomplete, even though its opening tag is well-formed. This is the generalizable rule behind the unterminated-script case."

This task is a near-ideal match between the documentation and the required behavior, so the analysis focuses on what the docs did well and minor near-misses.\n\nWhat the docs did well:\n1. The overview passage at html-processor.md:83-84 is the linchpin. It plainly states the failure model: 'If any unsupported markup appears ... the HTML Processor will abort early' and 'methods which produce output (such as serialize() and normalize()) return null.' This single passage maps the task ('return false for unsupported markup') onto the API contract (null return) unambiguously. All three subjects cited this mechanism in their explanations.\n2. Both output methods have explicit `string|null` signatures and 'Returns' rows spelling out the null case: normalize() at :988 ('Normalized output, or null if unable to normalize') and serialize() at :1038 ('null if unable to generate serialization'). This let trials converge on a clean `null !== result` check rather than guessing at exceptions or boolean flags.\n3. html-processor.md:947 explicitly documents the relationship between the static `normalize()` shortcut and the `create_fragment()` + `serialize()` two-step form, which is why both the one-call (trials 1/3) and two-call (trial 2) approaches were correct and idiomatic.\n4. Lines 86-87 enumerate exactly which constructs abort vs. parse (well-formed tables, foreign content, TEMPLATE parse; only 'specific constructs' abort), which reassured subjects that the task's table and unclosed-tag examples normalize fine — preventing false negatives on the well-formed-table-true and unclosed-true cases.\n\nNear-misses / minor friction:\n- Trial 2 added a `null === $processor` guard after create_fragment(). This is correct defensive code per the documented `static|null` return, but it is dead in the always-`<body>` default context. The docs (create_fragment :381-383) state null is returned 'if unsuccessful' without explaining WHEN create_fragment itself fails (e.g., unsupported context/encoding) versus when the later serialize() fails. A reader cannot tell from the docs whether unsupported MARKUP surfaces as a null from create_fragment or only later from serialize(). The subject correctly guessed serialize() is where markup-level failure appears, but the docs leave that division of responsibility implicit. This caused no failure but is the only documentation ambiguity the trials brushed against.\n- The 'unsupported parsing error' trigger_error emitted on the adoption-agency case (visible in all three execution.json files) is internal and expected; no subject mishandled it, but the docs do not warn that calling serialize()/normalize() on unsupported input emits a _doing_it_wrong notice in addition to returning null — a caller suppressing or asserting on warnings could be surprised.\"",

A reader cannot distinguish create_fragment failure (e.g., unsupported context or encoding) from later serialize()/normalize() failure caused by unsupported MARKUP.

+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence clarifying that create_fragment returns null only for invalid construction arguments (currently a non-default context or non-UTF-8 encoding), and that unsupported MARKUP does not fail here — it surfaces later when an output method (serialize/normalize) or token walk runs and the processor aborts.

+      "suggestion": "Add a short note that, in addition to returning null, attempting to serialize/normalize input the processor cannot support raises a developer notice describing the unsupported construct, and that the null return value (not the absence of a notice) is the canonical, suppressable way to detect failure programmatically."

All three explanations make only claims that are backed by documented behavior. Trial-2's 'prevents duplicates' phrasing is the only assertion going slightly beyond what the task required, but it is corroborated by the add_class Returns note (line 2245, the no-op case).

This is a basic/smoke task and all three subjects independently converged on the canonical reference implementation. The decisive documentation passages did their job:\n\n1. The href-presence semantics (the only subtle requirement) are covered precisely by html-tag-processor.md lines 89-90 and the get_attribute() heading (lines 1469-1505). Line 89 states null when absent vs '' when present-with-empty-value; line 90 adds true for boolean/valueless attributes; the signature `string|true|null` (line 1472) and example (lines 1483-1484) reinforce it. This is exactly why every subject wrote `null !== get_attribute('href')` and passed the empty-href-counts and valueless-href-counts cases. Probe confirmed: <a href> => true, <a href=''> => '', <a name> => null.\n\n2. Case-insensitivity for both tag matching (lowercase next_tag('a') matching <a>/<A>) and the uppercase HREF case is handled implicitly. The query-array doc note says tag_name matching is 'ASCII case-insensitive' (line 952), and get_attribute name matching is case-insensitive in practice; the uppercase-attribute case passed in all trials. The docs do not explicitly state that get_attribute('href') matches a HREF attribute, but no subject stumbled because they queried lowercase and it worked.\n\n3. Comment-skipping (inside-comment-ignored) and nested-markup cases passed because next_tag only visits actual tag tokens and get_updated_html preserves untouched bytes (lines 2289-2297). The docs frame next_tag as a tokenizer-aware cursor, so subjects never tried regex/string matching that would have matched the <a> inside the comment.\n\nThe single near-miss is verbal, not functional: trial-2's explanation conflates the empty-string return ('') with the boolean-true return when describing get_attribute. The code is unaffected because the null-inequality check subsumes both. This suggests the empty-value-vs-boolean distinction, though documented, is easy to blur in a reader's summary — a clarity signal rather than a defect.",

This is precisely the mistake the docs warn against in three separate places: next_token example comment lines 666-668 ('The `>=` comparison is required: `>` would end this walk at the first nested closer ... and silently drop the trailing text'), get_current_depth prose line 879-882, and the inline `// >= and not >.` annotation at line 918. Because a nested closer (</em>) reports the same depth as the H1's own opener (probe-confirmed: H1 opener depth 3, </em> at depth 3), the strict-> guard terminated the walk at the first nested closer, dropping ' C'. Idiomatic structure but the wrong comparator defeats the recipe (12/25). Edge handling otherwise fine: image-only '', unclosed-h1, no-h1 null all pass (12/15 — the nested-markup failure is a partial edge-handling miss). 7/8 cases; failed nested-markup (got 'A B', expected 'A B C'). High self-confidence (72) belied the bug — subject did not internalize the repeated `>=` warnings."

+  "failure_analysis": "One hidden case failed across all trials: trial-2's `nested-markup` (`<h1>A <em>B</em> C</h1>` -> got 'A B', expected 'A B C'). Root cause: the token-walk loop was bounded with `get_current_depth() > $h1_depth` (strict) rather than `>= $h1_depth`. Misconception: the subject assumed that text *inside* the H1 always reports a depth strictly greater than the H1 opener, and that a depth equal to the opener means 'left the element.' That is false for closing tokens. Probe confirms the HTML Processor pops a closed element from the stack of open elements *before* reporting its closer's depth, so the </em> closer reports depth 3 — exactly equal to the H1 opener's depth — while still being inside the H1. The strict `>` guard treats that </em> closer as 'outside' and terminates, silently dropping the subsequent ' ' and 'C' text nodes. Trials 1 and 3 (and the reference) used `>=` and passed; trial-1 additionally used an explicit `< $h1_depth` break, both equivalent and correct.\\n\\nThe documentation is NOT at fault here — it is unusually thorough on exactly this point. The same `>=`-not-`>` pitfall is called out three times: (1) the `next_token()` example, lines 666-668, with the explicit sentence 'The `>=` comparison is required: `>` would end this walk at the first nested closer (</strong> reports the same depth as the LI's contents) and silently drop the trailing text'; (2) the `get_current_depth()` prose, lines 879-882, explaining that a closing tag reports the parent depth (N-1) and that 'every token inside it reports a depth of at least N, the closers of its child elements included'; (3) the `get_current_depth()` example, line 918, annotated `// >= and not >.`. Trial-2 reproduced the recipe's shape faithfully but substituted the wrong operator despite these warnings — a comprehension failure, not a documentation gap. The fact that trials 1 and 3 got it right from the same docs confirms the guidance is followable.\\n\\nWhat the docs did well: the canonical 'record depth on opener, walk while depth >= that value' recipe appears verbatim and is directly transferable to H1; get_modifiable_text is documented as returning decoded text (so all three trials passed entities-decoded without extra work); the 'every opener gets a closer, even for unclosed/implicitly-closed elements' guarantee (next_token lines 616, 622) is why all three passed unclosed-h1; and the image-only-empty-string case fell out naturally from the collect-#text recipe (an H1 with only an <img> yields no #text tokens -> ''). Near-miss in explanations: trial-2's prose claimed the loop 'continues while the current depth remains greater than the H1's depth (meaning we're still inside the H1)' — this verbalizes the exact wrong mental model, showing the subject reasoned to the bug rather than typo'd it.",

+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::get_current_depth() — depth-of-closing-token explanation (currently ~lines 879-882)",

A reader can follow the recipe's shape while still mis-deriving the operator, as trial-2 did, because the prose never shows the concrete equal-depth collision with a number.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a tiny worked depth trace for a one-level-nested element directly in this method's prose, e.g. for `<h1>A <em>B</em> C</h1>`: H1 opener -> depth 3; ' A ' #text -> 4; <em> -> 4; 'B' -> 5; </em> closer -> 3 (== H1 opener depth, still inside); ' C' #text -> 4; </h1> closer -> 2 (first token below 3, walk ends). Seeing the </em> closer share the opener's number makes the `>=`-vs-`>` choice mechanical rather than a judgment call."

A subject scanning for the loop pattern can copy the shape and substitute `>` (the more 'natural-looking' choice for 'strictly inside') without ever reading the comment — the operator is the single most error-prone character in the recipe.",
+      "suggestion": "Promote the `>=` requirement out of a comment into the recipe's lead sentence and state the failure mode as a rule, not an aside: 'Bound the walk with `get_current_depth() >= $start_depth`. Use `>=`, never `>`: child-element closers report the start depth exactly and a `>` bound stops at the first one, truncating everything after the first nested element.' Naming the symptom (truncation after the first nested child) lets a reader recognize the bug in their own output."

+      "problem": "The docs describe accumulating #text tokens and note SCRIPT/STYLE/TITLE/TEXTAREA as exceptions, but never state explicitly that an element containing only non-text children (e.g. a lone <img>) yields ZERO #text tokens and therefore the recipe correctly returns '' (empty string), distinct from a 'no element found' result. All trials happened to handle this, but only because '' is the natural accumulator initial value — the semantics are implicit.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to the collect-#text recipe: 'An element with no text descendants (for example one containing only an <img>) produces no #text tokens, so the accumulator stays the empty string. Distinguish element-absent (often signalled by next_tag()/next_token() returning false) from element-present-but-empty in the caller, not by inspecting the accumulated text.' This generalizes the '' vs null distinction that the task hinged on without encoding the task."

All three trials passed all 6 cases (simple, ampersand-in-caption, quotes-in-alt, angle-brackets-in-caption, unicode, html-in-caption-not-parsed) with zero _doing_it_wrong or trigger_error records. The docs did the heavy lifting here, and the failure-prevention is attributable to specific passages.\\n\\nWhat the docs did well:\\n- The 'Building markup from a template' section (html-tag-processor.md lines 158-182) is nearly the exact solution. It states the two rules that matter for this task: (1) include attributes in the template with empty values so updates preserve written order, with an explicit warning that ADDED attributes are sorted by name not call order; (2) include placeholder text inside elements so set_modifiable_text has a text node to replace. All three subjects internalized both rules — every candidate pre-seeds empty src/alt (preventing the src/alt ordering trap that the task explicitly requires) and inserts a '.' placeholder inside figcaption. Without rule (1), a subject building '<figure><img><figcaption>' and calling set_attribute would have emitted alphabetically-sorted attributes (alt before src), failing the ordering requirement. Without rule (2), an empty figcaption would have no #text node and set_modifiable_text would silently no-op, failing every caption case.\\n- The encoding contract is well-documented and prevented all the special-character failures. set_attribute / set_modifiable_text accepting plain unescaped values and encoding them is stated at lines 1849, 1921-1924 (set_modifiable_text 'Eggs & Milk' -> 'Eggs &amp; Milk') and the get_attribute inverse note at 1490-1491. This is why ampersand, quotes, angle-bracket, and the <script> cases all passed: no subject hand-escaped, all let the API encode.\\n- The 'Which processor should I use?' section (lines 18-24) steered all subjects to the Tag Processor for flat attribute/text edits rather than reaching for the HTML Processor, which is the right call for byte-exact fragment construction.\\n\\nNear-misses in the explanations: trial-3's self-reported confidence (38) badly under-rates a fully correct, idiomatic solution — a metacognition miss, though the code is sound. Trials 2 and 3 rely on an unguarded next_token() loop that assumes the figcaption placeholder is the first #text token encountered; this is safe for the self-authored template (verified: the first #text token is the '.' placeholder, since no text sits between <figure> and <img>) but the docs' own template example shares this shape and does not flag the assumption.

No hallucinated/undocumented methods, no _doing_it_wrong (30/30).

The task is a strong fit for what the docs teach, and the docs did the heavy lifting on the three traps in the test set:\n\n1) Entity decoding (entities-count-decoded: '<p>Fish &amp; Chips</p>' => 'Fish &'). Both docs' get_modifiable_text() sections state the returned text is already decoded for #text nodes ('&amp;' returned as '&') and warn 'Do not decode the returned string again,' and the Tag Processor doc gives the exact '<p>Fish &amp; Chips</p>' => 'Fish & Chips' example. All three subjects relied on this and correctly counted the single '&' codepoint rather than re-decoding or counting '&amp;'.\n\n2) Script exclusion (script-excluded => 'beforeafter'). The HTML Processor doc (line 620) and both get_modifiable_text() sections state SCRIPT/STYLE produce NO #text child tokens — their text rides on the element's own token. Subjects who only collect '#text' tokens therefore drop script content for free. Trial 2's explanation names this mechanism explicitly, showing the doc passage was understood rather than guessed.\n\n3) Codepoint-correct, multibyte-safe truncation (multibyte-emoji, accented). Both get_modifiable_text() sections add 'The returned string is UTF-8; when measuring or slicing it by code points pass an explicit encoding, e.g. mb_strlen( $text, \\\"UTF-8\\\" )'. All three subjects passed 'UTF-8' to mb_strlen/mb_substr, which is exactly why multibyte-emoji and accented truncations landed on code-point boundaries.\n\nNear-misses worth flagging: Trial 2's correctness on malformed-nesting ('<div><p>one<p>two</div>tail' => 'onetwotail') and inter-element whitespace is real but partly incidental. The Tag Processor is a linear scanner with no DOM nesting rules; it happens to emit the same #text tokens as the HTML Processor for these inputs (I verified this directly — TAG and PROC outputs were identical on all 7 non-trivial cases). The Tag Processor doc never states that its #text token stream equals the parsed-DOM text content, so a subject could reasonably but wrongly assume equivalence on inputs where raw-text/tag ambiguity actually diverges. Trial 2's reasoning was sound for this corpus but rests on an undocumented equivalence. Trial 1's hand-rolled per-token codepoint bookkeeping is a second near-miss in form (not result): it is correct here but is the kind of accounting that is easy to get wrong, where the documented single-mb_substr approach (trials 3 and reference) is harder to break.",

A subject cannot tell from the docs whether 'walk #text tokens on the Tag Processor' is a sound general recipe for plain-text extraction or only works on well-behaved input.",

The documentation succeeded decisively here, and the success traces directly to specific passages.\\n\\nWhat the docs did well (and which case each carried):\\n- next_token() docblock and get_current_depth() docblock both contain the precise \\\"record the depth at the opening tag, then walk while get_current_depth() >= that depth, accumulating #text via get_modifiable_text()\\\" recipe, with a worked LI example. All three subjects reproduced this almost verbatim — this drove the simple, entities-in-text, and image-link-empty-text cases.\\n- The repeated, emphatic `>=` vs `>` warning (\\\"Writing `>` instead would end the walk early, at the first nested closer\\\") is exactly the trap the `simple` case (`<a href=\\\"/b\\\"><em>second</em> link</a>`) sets: the trailing \\\" link\\\" text follows the `</em>` closer. Every subject used `>=` (or the equivalent break-on-`<`), so none dropped the trailing text. This is the single most load-bearing sentence in the docs for this task.\\n- get_attribute() docblock states values are returned DECODED and \\\"Do not decode the returned value again,\\\" and that boolean attributes return `true`. This carried entity-in-href-decoded (no double-decode of `&amp;`) and valueless-href (`href` with no value => `true`). All subjects explicitly cited this and none re-decoded.\\n- The unclosed-link case relied on the documented guarantee (next_token() and get_current_depth() docblocks) that \\\"the unclosed LI and UL still produce closing tokens at the end of the input\\\" and \\\"Walking code can rely on seeing a closer for every opener even in malformed input.\\\" The depth-bounded loop therefore terminated correctly and collected \\\"runs to the end\\\" without an explicit end-of-input check.\\n- image-link-empty-text passed because the only child of the A is an IMG (a void element producing no #text), so the #text filter naturally yields the empty string — a direct consequence of the documented #text-token model.\\n\\nNear-misses in the explanations: none were wrong, but trial-1's code added a superfluous `$current_depth > $link_depth` guard on the #text branch. This reveals a small gap of confidence: the get_current_depth() docblock says non-element tokens \\\"count themselves\\\" and that every token inside an element reports depth >= the opener's, but its step-by-step example walks element openers/closers (depths 2/3/4) and never shows a text node sitting strictly below its containing element's opener. A subject could be unsure whether a direct-child text node shares the opener's depth (it does not — it is opener_depth + 1; probe confirmed text@depth 4 vs A opener 3). The guard was harmless only by luck of that fact. Confidence calibration was also a soft miss: the two functionally-identical canonical solutions self-reported 75 and 85, and the trial that added an unnecessary guard reported the lowest (72) — inversely correlated with actual robustness.\"",

Idiomatic token walk: while(next_tag('P')) loop, breadcrumb inspection, add_class, get_updated_html. Handles null from create_fragment (returns $html). Passed 7/7 including existing-class-preserved, implicitly-closed-paragraphs, and nested-blockquotes. Minor non-idiomatic point vs reference: checks the FULL get_breadcrumbs() array, which (per docs L850-851, L858) includes the matched P node itself, rather than slicing off the last element.

Not a misuse, but a sign the subject was uncertain about the return contract.

The documentation supported this task well and the convergence on a near-identical correct solution is strong evidence of that.\n\nWhat the docs did well:\n- The \"When to choose\" framing (html-processor.md L81) explicitly steers structural/containment work to WP_HTML_Processor and flat attribute edits to the Tag Processor. All three subjects picked the right processor with no hesitation, and none reached for the Tag Processor (which lacks get_breadcrumbs and would have failed the ancestor requirement). html-tag-processor.md L20 reinforces this by stating outright that get_breadcrumbs/get_current_depth do NOT exist on the Tag Processor — a clear negative signpost that prevents the most likely wrong turn.\n- The get_breadcrumbs() doc (L842-867) with its concrete example `array('HTML','BODY','P','STRONG','EM','IMG')` made the ancestor-chain semantics unambiguous, so in_array('BLOCKQUOTE', ...) was the obvious idiom. The intro note at L54 that breadcrumbs always contain the implied 'HTML','BODY' outermost elements pre-empted any off-by-one confusion about whether the root is present.\n- get_updated_html()'s byte-exact-preservation guarantee (html-tag-processor.md L2297) directly answered the task's \"everything else preserved byte-for-byte\" requirement; all three explanations cited it.\n- The HTML parser's own implicit-paragraph-close handling made the implicitly-closed-paragraphs case (`<blockquote><p>first<p>second</blockquote>`) pass for free via next_tag('P') — subjects did not need to reason about it, and the structure-aware processor did the right thing.\n\nNear-misses in the approach (no functional impact, but worth noting):\n1. The most interesting near-miss is the breadcrumbs slice. The canonical reference computes ancestors via `array_slice( get_breadcrumbs(), 0, -1 )` to exclude the matched node before the in_array check. All three subjects skipped the slice and tested the full array. This is correct here ONLY because the matched node is always 'P' and the target ancestor name 'BLOCKQUOTE' differs. If the task had been \"mark every BLOCKQUOTE that has a BLOCKQUOTE ancestor,\" the unsliced check would self-match and produce a false positive on every blockquote. The docs say get_breadcrumbs() includes the matched element (L850-851, example ends in 'IMG') but never explicitly warn that for an ancestor-only test you must drop the last element. Subjects got the right answer without grasping this subtlety.\n2. Trial-2's `?? $html` on get_updated_html() reflects uncertainty about the return contract — the doc declares `string`, so the fallback is unreachable. Minor.",

+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::get_breadcrumbs()",

All three subjects checked the full array and only avoided a false positive because the queried ancestor name happened to differ from the matched node's name.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a one-line note plus a snippet contrasting the two intents: to test whether the matched node IS an X, inspect the last breadcrumb; to test whether it has an X ANCESTOR, exclude the last element first, e.g. `$ancestors = array_slice( $processor->get_breadcrumbs(), 0, -1 );` then `in_array( 'BLOCKQUOTE', $ancestors, true )`.

A reader scanning method names might reach for matches_breadcrumbs() for an arbitrary-depth ancestor test and be unable to express it, with no pointer to the get_breadcrumbs()+in_array idiom that is the intended approach.",

Loses points on idiomatic adherence: it uses NESTED walk loops (outer token loop, inner per-TR loop, innermost per-cell loop), exactly the anti-pattern the next_token() docs call out at html-processor.md ~line 624 ('do not nest walk loops; use a single loop that dispatches ... and tracks ... with a couple of state variables'). It happens to work because each inner loop consumes through its element's closer and the `>=` depth guards re-synchronize the shared single cursor, but it directly contradicts the documented guidance and is fragile relative to the recommended shape.

Slightly less clean than trial-1: it adds explicit TR-open save-on-reopen plus a trailing post-loop flush (belt-and-suspenders for omitted closers, which the HTML Processor already normalizes by emitting implicit closers — docs note 'a closer is visited for every opener', so the extra flush is redundant but harmless). Subtle smell: the TR-closer and trailing-flush branches gate pending-cell append on `'' !== current_cell_text`, which would DROP a genuinely empty trailing cell — but the empty-cells test cell is closed by its own TD closer (which appends unconditionally), so it passes.

This task is well-served by the current docs. Concretely, the documentation pre-solved the three hardest traps:\\n\\n1) Implicit/omitted closers (omitted-closers, thead-tbody cases): next_token() in html-processor.md (~line 616) states 'the HTML Processor visits a closing token for every element it opens, including elements the HTML specification closes implicitly and elements left unclosed at the end of the input. Walking code can rely on seeing a closer for every opener even in malformed input.' This is exactly why all three closer-driven flushes worked on `<td>one<td>two` and on tbody/thead-wrapped rows. The TBODY/THEAD insertion is handled by the parser transparently; subjects never had to special-case it.\\n\\n2) Decoded text and split text nodes (entities-in-cells, markup-in-cells): get_modifiable_text() docs (html-tag-processor.md ~line 1838, html-processor.md ~line 2104) state character references are already decoded ('&amp;' returned as '&', 'do not decode again') and include the literal 'Fish & Chips' example matching the test verbatim. next_token() docs (~line 618) warn that text 'may be split across several consecutive #text tokens: accumulate text while walking.' All three accumulated with `.=`, so `<strong>bold</strong> text` concatenated to 'bold text' correctly and the entity decoded without double-decoding.\\n\\n3) Bounding the walk (first-table-only, no-table): next_token() docs (~line 622) warn it 'does not stop when the element matched by an earlier next_tag() call ends ... Bound a walk with a depth or breadcrumb condition,' and get_current_depth() docs (~line 869, 911-928) give the depth-bounded walk with an explicit '>= and not >' caveat and the equivalent break-form '< $depth'. All three recorded the TABLE's depth and broke/guarded on it, so they stopped before the second table and returned [] when next_tag('TABLE') failed.\\n\\nThe single near-miss is in trial-2's approach (not its output): it adopted nested walk loops, the precise anti-pattern next_token() docs warn against (~line 624, 'There is only ONE cursor ... do not nest walk loops'). It produced correct results only because each inner loop consumed through its element's closer; the docs' single-dispatch-loop recipe (the DT example, ~line 626-642) would have been more robust. Trial-2's explanation also slightly over-claims ('exits when depth drops below the table's depth') while actually relying on three coordinated `>=` inner guards.\\n\\nOne self-explanation imprecision worth noting across trials: trials 1 and 3 say cell-empty handling 'works' but both depend on the TD/TH closer unconditionally appending the accumulated string; their TR-level/trailing flush branches additionally gate on `'' !== text`, which would silently drop a genuinely empty trailing cell that lacked its own closer. No test exercises that exact shape, so it stayed latent.",

Trials 1 and 3 added `'' !== $text` guards in some flush branches that would drop a legitimately empty trailing cell; this stayed latent only because the tests' empty cell had its own closer.",

It finds the first TABLE element, then iterates through tokens within the table using get_current_depth() to track nesting levels. For each TR (table row) found, it collects text from all TD and TH cells at the direct child level. Text is accumulated from consecutive #text tokens using get_modifiable_text(), which automatically decodes character references. The algorithm exits when the current depth drops below the table's depth, and returns an empty array if no table is found.",

All three subjects lifted this pattern directly, which is why no one tried to use set_modifiable_text/get_updated_html (the wrong tool here, and explicitly warned against in lines 1068-1069). This single passage is the reason adherence is uniformly high.\n- The decoded-vs-raw distinction was handled correctly by every trial because get_modifiable_text() is documented as returning decoded text (the get_modifiable_text examples show 'Fish & Chips' and entity decoding), so the entity-encoded-keyword-matches case passed without anyone reaching for raw text. The task note about matching decoded text aligned cleanly with the documented behavior.\n- The '#text' token-type filter is shown in multiple examples (lines 174, 639, 656, 1883), so the keyword-in-attribute and keyword-in-comment exclusion cases passed naturally — subjects only inspected #text tokens.\n- Normalization side-effects (closing the unclosed <p>/<b>, &AMP; -> &amp;) came for free from serialize_token(), which the docs state reconstructs \"the normalized serialization of the input.\" No subject had to reason about implicit closing tags explicitly.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations / divergences worth noting:\n- The only divergence among trials is the unreachable null-processor branch: trial-1 returns '', trial-2 returns WP_HTML_Processor::normalize($html) ?? $html, trial-3 returns $html. Because create_fragment with the default <body> context never returns null for the test inputs (probed: returns a processor even for '' and unclosed tags), this branch is dead code and did not affect any result. The docs document the null return (\"The created processor if successful, otherwise null\") but do not say WHEN null occurs — only that unsupported context/encoding cause it. A subject reading only that could plausibly believe malformed HTML yields null and write a meaningful fallback; trial-3's \"return $html unchanged\" would silently violate the normalization contract if that branch were ever reached.

The ambiguity invites incorrect, contract-violating fallbacks.",

Guards the modify step with has_bookmark() so no-H2 input is untouched, and releases the bookmark afterward. Edge cases handled implicitly but correctly per docs: comment-embedded H2 excluded (next_tag rule, line 939), existing class preserved/appended (add_class, line 2231), byte-for-byte preservation (get_updated_html, line 2297). Explanation is accurate; confidence 90 is well-calibrated."

Minor non-idiomatic friction: it stores the literal string 'last-h2' in a $last_h2_bookmark sentinel and calls release_bookmark() inside the loop before re-setting the same name on the next iteration. That release is unnecessary and slightly muddies the documented 'just re-set the same name, it moves the bookmark and never leaks' guarantee (set_bookmark() line 1161 explicitly says you do not need to release first). It still works because the name is constant and re-setting moves it. Uses seek()'s bool return as the found-guard, which is valid per the seek() contract. Not a correctness defect, just less clean than trials 1/3; small idiomatic deduction."

This task is a near-best-case for the documentation, so the analysis is what the docs did right and the near-misses.\n\nWhat the docs did well (and directly drove the passing results):\n- set_bookmark() (html-tag-processor.md lines 1124 and 1161) explicitly documents the precise algorithm this task requires: \"to remember 'the last matching tag' in a single pass, re-set the same bookmark name on every match, then seek to it once after the scan completes,\" plus a worked last-LI example and the guarantee that re-setting a name MOVES the bookmark without leaking or requiring a release. All three subjects reproduced this idiom verbatim. This is the single passage most responsible for success; without it, subjects would likely have reached for programmatic bookmark names (which the same section warns against) or O(n) re-scans.\n- next_tag() (lines 937-939) states tag-name matching is ASCII case-insensitive (so lowercase 'h2'/'H2' both work) AND that tag-like text inside comments is text, never matched — directly producing the correct comment-h2-not-counted result. I confirmed by probe that next_tag('H2') counts exactly 1 tag in '<h2>Real</h2><!-- <h2>fake</h2> -->'.\n- add_class() (line 2231) states new classes are appended after existing ones, preserving order/spacing — directly producing the correct existing-class result ('outro final-section').\n- get_updated_html() (line 2297) states every untouched byte is returned exactly, satisfying the byte-for-byte requirement.\n- has_bookmark() (line 1374) is documented as a simple existence check, which trials 1 and 3 use as a clean no-H2 guard, satisfying no-headings-unchanged.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations (not in code): all three explanations describe the bookmark-moving behavior somewhat loosely (e.g. trial-2: 'release it since we found a newer one', and its code releases inside the loop). That reflects a slightly incomplete reading of the set_bookmark() note that re-setting a name already moves the bookmark and you need not release first. It did not affect correctness here because the bookmark name was a constant literal, but the same misreading with programmatic names could hit the bookmark limit. No execution failure resulted.",

Honors the documented null-on-unparseable contract (html-processor.md lines 84, 988) to satisfy the 'return false if either cannot be parsed' requirement, which covers the misnesting-unsupported case. No bookmarks/token-walking needed; the single-call normalize idiom is the most idiomatic approach and the docs steer toward it.

The decisive passage is the `normalize()` method section (html-processor.md lines 938-988): it names normalize() as the fragment-comparison/canonicalization tool, lists exactly the normalizations the task tests (attribute values double-quoted -> covers quoting-styles-equal and whitespace-in-tag-equal; omitted tags added -> implied-closers-equal; name casing lower-cased -> tag-case-equal; text re-encoded -> entity-spellings-equal), and documents the `string|null` return with 'null if unable to normalize'. The 'Which processor should I use?' guidance (tag-processor.md lines 18-25) and the HTML-Processor overview (html-processor.md line 81) both explicitly route 'producing normalized output' / 'normalizing markup' to WP_HTML_Processor, steering subjects away from the Tag Processor and away from hand-rolling a token walk. The unsupported-markup contract (html-processor.md line 84: 'methods which produce output such as serialize() and normalize() return null') told subjects that mis-nested formatting (misnesting-unsupported-false, listed verbatim as an unsupported construct at lines 90-91) would return null, which the 'return false if either input cannot be parsed' guard turns into the expected false.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: none of the three subjects mentioned that the misnesting case triggers an internal E_USER_WARNING ('Cannot serialize HTML Processor with parsing error: unsupported.') from inside serialize()/normalize(). It is harmless here — normalize() still returns null and the test passes — but the docs gave no hint that the null-return path is accompanied by a warning, so the subjects could not have known. Also worth noting: all three relied on === string equality being a sound proxy for 'same parsed structure'. This holds because normalize() is canonical (deterministic output for a given DOM), but the docs never state that two inputs with the same DOM always produce byte-identical normalized output (the canonicalization guarantee). The subjects assumed it implicitly and were correct, but the guarantee is load-bearing for this whole class of 'compare two fragments' tasks and is not stated.\"",

Callers who treat null as a normal 'cannot represent this input' signal — exactly the documented contract — will be surprised by a warning in logs and cannot tell from the docs whether they misused the API.",

Every 'are these two fragments equivalent?' use case depends on this property, yet a reader must infer it.",

Idiomatic token-walk-and-concatenate. Correctly relies on the documented fact that skipping a tag name skips both opener and closer (line 1050: 'Closing tokens of skipped elements must be skipped too'; example comment: 'Skips both the opener and the closer'), so no is_tag_closer handling was needed. Returns '' on null processor, matching reference and the normalization contract.

Still a small semantic misread: returning un-normalized input would violate the 'output is normalized HTML' contract from the task if the branch were ever reachable.

The documentation was highly effective for this task and the analysis is therefore about why it worked and where the near-misses lived. The decisive passage is the serialize_token() method docblock in html-processor.md (lines 1040-1066). It (a) names the exact idiom — 'walk every token with next_token() and concatenate serialize_token()' produces the normalized serialization; (b) states the transform recipe 'skip tokens to remove them'; and crucially (c) warns 'Closing tokens of skipped elements must be skipped too,' reinforced by the worked SUP-removal example whose inline comment says 'Skips both the opener and the closer.' This single passage prevented the most likely failure mode (skipping only the opener and leaving a stray </span>, or trying to special-case is_tag_closer), which would have broken nested-spans, adjacent-spans, and span-with-block-content. The normalization cases (no-spans-normalized-passthrough expecting optional tags closed and &AMP;->&amp;, unclosed-span auto-closing <p>) passed because serialize_token()'s docblock promises 'fully-normative HTML' and the task framed output as normalized; subjects trusted the processor to normalize rather than hand-rolling encoding. Near-misses in the explanations rather than the code: trial-2 invented a 'return input as-is' fallback for create_fragment failure, revealing it had not internalized that the null path is only for unsupported context/encoding (the docs do explain this at lines 358-366 and the Returns row, but the condition under which null occurs is stated obliquely, not as a crisp 'returns null only when context/encoding are unsupported'). Trials 2 and 3 self-reported 72 confidence versus trial-1's 92, suggesting the docs left subjects unsure whether get_tag() vs get_token_name() was the 'right' discriminator and whether a get_token_type()==='#tag' guard was required — the canonical example shows only get_tag(), so the safest choice was underspecified relative to alternatives.\"",

Subjects diverged (trial-1/2 used get_tag, trial-3 used get_token_name) and lower-confidence trials hedged, indicating the discriminator choice is underspecified.",

Subject: [PATCH 037/193] HTML API docs round 12 hypotheses: add_class never
 removes; quoting scope co-located.

Round-11 judges found prose-bleed: a trial attributed remove_class's
drop-the-empty-attribute behavior to add_class (the two contracts sit
in shared section prose). State add_class's add-only scope
contrastively in its own docblock, and co-locate the
only-written-attributes-are-requoted rule with get_updated_html's
byte-preservation contract.

The three candidates are essentially byte-identical to reference.php.\n\nThis is a clean win attributable to the documentation, specifically the paused_at_incomplete_token() method docblock in html-tag-processor.md (lines 1015-1047). That docblock does three things that map exactly onto this task: (1) it states the method answers \"did the input end mid-token?\"; (2) its first example shows the single-call next_tag()/paused pattern; and (3) critically, its second example (lines 1031-1039) gives the exact \"In a longer document, drain all tokens first ... while ($processor->next_token()) { continue; } $was_truncated = $processor->paused_at_incomplete_token();\" recipe. All three subjects reproduced this recipe verbatim. The \"drain all tokens first\" sentence is what prevented the common error of checking the flag after a single next_tag()/next_token() call (which would report state at the first incomplete token but miss later truncation, or — worse — report false on a document whose first token is complete).\n\nThe task's conceptual traps were also well-defended by the docs:\n- Trailing-'<'-is-text and unclosed-element-is-complete (cases trailing-lt-is-text, unclosed-element-is-complete, expected false): The 'When matching fails' section (lines 92-108) and the next_tag() docblock (line 941) distinguish \"ended in the middle of a syntax element\" (pauses) from ordinary incomplete structure. Trials 1 and 3 explicitly invoked the lexical-completeness distinction. The behavior is correct because next_token() emits a complete #text token for 'ends with <' and a complete opener token for '<div>', leaving paused state false.\n- Unterminated SCRIPT (case unterminated-script, expected true): The 'When matching fails' section's special-element note (lines 109-119: \"If a special element is encountered but no closing tag is found it will count as an incomplete tag. The parser will pause as if the opening tag were incomplete.\") directly covers this. All three subjects' explanations name SCRIPT/STYLE-without-closer as a pause case.\n- Empty string and plain text (expected false): trivially handled; the loop runs zero or few iterations and paused state stays false.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: trial-2's explanation omits any mention of the false-returning edge cases (trailing '<', unclosed element), so it reads as if it only reasoned about the true cases. The code is correct regardless, but the explanation gives the least evidence that the subject understood why the negative cases return false. Confidence calibration was slightly inverted across the cohort: trial-3 had the most precise explanation yet reported the lowest confidence (85), while trial-1 reported 92 with a less complete account of the negative cases. Not a documentation problem, just noise.\"",

A reader could reasonably worry that an unclosed element counts as 'incomplete'. The cohort happened to get this right by reading the separate 'When matching fails' section, but the method's own docblock is where someone checking the flag will look.",

The docs handled this task well: the section at html-processor.md line 83-89 states the abort-on-unsupported-markup contract directly (\"methods which produce output (such as serialize() and normalize()) return null\"), and the normalize()/serialize() method headings (lines 938-988, 990+) both declare the string|null return type with the explicit note \"or null if unable to normalize.\" This made the canonical reference (null !== WP_HTML_Processor::normalize($html)) the obvious target — two trials reproduced it exactly, and the third reached an equivalent correct solution via the documented create_fragment+serialize alternative the docs suggest at line 947. The only near-miss in the explanations is subtle: subjects framed normalization failure as caused by \"mis-nested formatting elements or foster parenting.\" That is correct (foster parenting is named at line 88), but the docs do NOT explicitly name the adoption-agency algorithm (the specific mis-nested-formatting case in the test, <b>one<i>two</b>three</i>) as an unsupported construct — subjects inferred it from the general \"certain mis-nested formatting elements\" language plus the task description's hint. They guessed correctly, but the docs' enumeration of unsupported constructs (lines 86-89) lists foster parenting but stops short of explicitly listing the adoption agency / mis-nested active formatting elements, so a subject reasoning purely from docs could not be certain which mis-nesting aborts. It did not cause a failure here only because the task spec itself supplied the example. The internal trigger_error emitted by serialize on the adoption-agency case (visible in all three execution.json files) is by-design behavior of the aborting serializer, not a doing_it_wrong record against the candidate, and all trials returned the correct boolean regardless.",

The namespace check is technically redundant given next_tag('img') matches tag name IMG and SVG <image> reports get_tag()==='IMAGE', but it is correct and harmless. 7/7 passed.

What the docs did well, and the one near-miss worth flagging:\n\nWHAT WORKED:\n1. Processor selection. The html-processor.md overview ('Choose it whenever document STRUCTURE matters', and the 'foreign content (SVG and MathML)' support note at line 86) plus the presence of get_namespace() steered all three subjects to create_fragment() rather than the Tag Processor. This is the load-bearing choice — only the HTML Processor applies the foreign-content insertion rules that make <image> normalize to <img> (case image-tag-becomes-img) and make <img> break out of <svg> into the HTML namespace (case img-inside-svg-breaks-out). Both behaviors I confirmed by probe.\n2. get_namespace() docs at html-processor.md:1726-1736 give a tight contract ('One of html, math, or svg') that all three used to write a namespace guard. The guard is what the subjects believed excluded SVG <image>.\n3. get_attribute() docs (html-tag-processor.md:1469-1505, esp. the DECODED note at 1490 and the string|true|null / empty-vs-null distinction at line 89) gave subjects the correct decode-already-done understanding and the empty-string skip. All three correctly avoided double-decoding and skipped empty src.\n\nTHE NEAR-MISS / latent misconception shared by all three:\nEvery subject's explanation attributes SVG <image> exclusion to the NAMESPACE filter. That is not actually how the exclusion happens for these tests. next_tag('img') matches by tag NAME, and the HTML Processor reports get_tag()==='IMAGE' for the SVG <image> element (probe-confirmed), so it never matches next_tag('img') at all — the namespace check never fires for the SVG <image> case (svg-image-excluded). The real discriminator is the HTML Processor's tag-name normalization, not get_namespace(). The subjects got the right answer via a redundant guard built on an incorrect causal story. The docs enabled the correct code but did not correct the misconception, because nothing in get_namespace() or the IMG/breadcrumb examples explains the relationship between next_tag tag-name matching, get_tag() normalization, and namespace. Trials 2 and 3 also left a real latent bug — no guard against get_attribute returning boolean true for a bare <img src> — but the test suite never exercises a value-less src attribute, so it did not surface. Only trial 1 handled it.",

There is no guidance on the interaction between get_namespace(), the matched tag name, and how foreign content is parsed.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short example showing a tag inside <svg> and the namespace it reports, and note that the HTML Processor's foreign-content parsing can change BOTH the namespace and the normalized tag name.

Nothing documents that next_tag('img') matches by the NORMALIZED tag name, nor that elements like <image> may be reprocessed to IMG in HTML context while SVG <image> stays IMAGE. Subjects could not learn that tag-name matching alone already separates HTML <img> from SVG <image>; they leaned on namespace filtering instead and built a correct-but-mis-explained solution.",
+      "suggestion": "In get_tag() (or in the next_tag query description) add a concrete reprocessing example: the HTML <image> element is reprocessed to IMG, so next_tag('img') matches it; an <image> inside <svg> remains IMAGE and does not.

The latent bug went undetected only because the test suite omits value-less attributes.",

This is the smoke/basic task and the two docs covered it completely. What the docs did well, mapped to the cases that could have tripped a less-careful subject: (1) Case-insensitive tag matching (uppercase-tag case) — next_tag()'s 'What this matches' section (html-tag-processor.md line 937) states tag-name matching is ASCII case-insensitive and preserves source casing, and get_tag() is explicitly documented (line 1572) to return the UPPERCASE name, so both query styles used across trials match <IMG> and trial-1's `'IMG' === get_tag()` guard is correct. (2) Comments ignored (inside-comment-ignored case) — line 939 states tag-like text inside comments is never matched. (3) Incomplete trailing tag (incomplete-tag-at-end case) — line 941 plus the 'When matching fails' section state a truncated tag pauses the processor and is never matched/modified, so the trailing `<img src=\\\"a.jpg` is correctly left untouched. (4) Existing classes preserved/appended (existing-classes case) — the 'Modifying CSS classes' section shows add_class appending to existing classes and preserving order/whitespace (lines 184-217, 328). (5) Byte-for-byte preservation including unquoted attributes (unquoted-attributes case) — get_updated_html() docs (line 2297) guarantee untouched bytes are returned exactly; note the input's unquoted src=a.jpg width=10 survive because only the class attribute is added (the double-quoting-on-update caveat at line 328 applies only to attributes the API writes). The only blemish anywhere is a prose near-miss in trial-2's explanation, which misattributes remove_class's 'remove the attribute when removing the only class' behavior to add_class. It had no effect on output and reflects the add_class and remove_class behaviors being described in close proximity in the same section without each method's docblock restating its own scope crisply.\"",

A subject reading only the section overview can conflate the two methods' contracts.",
+      "suggestion": "In the add_class() method docblock, state its scope explicitly and contrastively: 'add_class only ever adds; it never removes the class attribute. Adding a class that is already present is a no-op. (Removing the final class via remove_class is what empties and drops the class attribute.)'

The unquoted-attributes case shows they do not — only the attribute the API writes is re-quoted; untouched attributes keep their original bytes. The two facts are stated far apart.",

+  "failure_analysis": "No failures: all three trials passed all 8 hidden cases. This is a basic 'smoke' task and the two markdown docs covered every behavior it exercises, so the analysis is of what the docs did well plus near-misses in the explanations.\n\nWhat the docs did well:\n1. The href-presence distinction is the crux of the task (href=\"\" and <a href> must count as present; missing href must not). The get_attribute documentation nails this in two places the subjects clearly used: the prose at lines 89-90 (\"return null if the attribute wasn't present... may return '' (the empty string) in cases where the attribute was present but its value was empty... For boolean attributes... it will return true\"), and the typed signature string|true|null at line 1472 with the worked example at lines 1480-1488 showing $p->get_attribute('enabled') === true and $p->get_attribute('aria-label') === null. All three explanations paraphrased this contract correctly, which is why every trial chose the exact `null !== get_attribute('href')` predicate rather than a truthiness check (a naive `if ($href)` would have failed empty-href-counts and valueless-href-counts; the docs steered them away from that trap).\n2. Case-insensitive matching (uppercase-attribute and lowercase 'a' query vs uppercase tag) is covered explicitly at line 937 for tag names and via the get_attribute case-insensitivity note (line 1515-1517), so next_tag('a') matched <a HREF> and produced correct casing-preserved output without any subject needing to special-case it.\n3. The comment-ignoring (inside-comment-ignored) and nested-markup cases passed for free because next_tag's 'What this matches' list (lines 939: tag-like text inside comments is text, not tags) means the processor naturally skips the commented <a> and walks into nested <strong>. No subject wrote handling for these; the docs' guarantee made the no-op correct.\n4. set_attribute overwrite semantics (existing-target-overwritten) are stated at line 156 ('If set_attribute() is called for an existing attribute it will overwrite the existing value'), so the unconditional set_attribute('target','_blank') correctly replaced target=\"_top\".\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: none of the three explanations mention the incomplete-token / truncated-input pause behavior (line 941) or the comment-skipping guarantee by name; they relied on it implicitly. That is acceptable here since the task's edge cases happened to be handled automatically, but it shows the subjects did not deeply internalize those guarantees, they just benefited from sane defaults. Trial explanations also slightly over-claim 'preserves the rest of the document byte-for-byte' as if it were a property they invoked, when it is simply the get_updated_html contract (line 2297) holding by default.

Edge cases the docs describe are all handled: image-only H1 yields '' because no #text tokens appear (collect-recipe naturally returns empty string); unclosed H1 works because next_token() visits a synthetic closer for every opener including end-of-input (html-processor.md:616); entities decoded via get_modifiable_text.

Explanation is the most complete of the three, explicitly calling out the null-vs-empty-string distinction (null when no H1, '' when H1 contains only markup) that the task requires and that the collect-#text recipe produces naturally. Idiomatic depth-guarded walk with the required `>=`. Passed 8/8, no _doing_it_wrong."

This is a clean sweep, and the documentation is the direct cause of success rather than near-misses.\n\nWhat the docs did well, mapped to the specific cases:\n- html-processor.md:649-669 ships an almost complete template for this exact shape of task (\"Collect the text content of the first LI element\"): next_tag to land on the element, get_current_depth to record its level, then `while next_token() && get_current_depth() >= $depth` collecting #text via get_modifiable_text. All three subjects transplanted LI->H1 and got every structural case right (nested-markup, nested-in-div, first-of-two).\n- The inline comment at html-processor.md:666-668 explicitly warns that `>` instead of `>=` would end the walk at the first nested closer and \"silently drop the trailing text.\" This single sentence is what made nested-markup ('A <em>B</em> C' -> 'A B C') and nested-in-div pass; a subject reasoning from first principles could easily have written `>` and dropped the ' C'. All three used `>=`.\n- html-processor.md:616 (\"visits a closing token for every element it opens ... including elements left unclosed at the end of the input. Walking code can rely on seeing a closer for every opener even in malformed input\") is precisely why unclosed-h1 ('<h1>Runs to <em>the end') returned 'Runs to the end' instead of looping forever or terminating early. The recipe comment at 663-664 reinforces this.\n- The image-only-empty-string case (expected '', not null) is handled correctly because the collect-#text recipe accumulates onto a pre-initialized `$text = ''` and an H1 containing only an <img> emits no #text tokens. The task contract distinguishes ''-vs-null and html-processor.md:645 spells out exactly this empty-region behavior; trial-3's explanation cites it directly.\n- entities-decoded ('Fish &amp; Chips &mdash; daily' -> 'Fish & Chips — daily') passed because get_modifiable_text returns decoded text; html-tag-processor.md:1846 demonstrates 'Fish & Chips' === get_modifiable_text() for input containing &amp;, anchoring the decoded-not-raw semantics.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations (not failures): trial-1 and trial-2 omit the create_fragment null guard. This is harmless for the frozen test set (no input returns null) and mirrors the docs' own examples, but it is a latent gap the docs implicitly encourage by never null-checking in the BODY-context recipe. trial-3 alone guards it. No subject confused this with the Tag Processor; html-tag-processor.md:20 (\"get_current_depth() ... do not exist on this class\") successfully steered all three to WP_HTML_Processor.",

This task is a near-perfect fit for what the round-11 docs already teach, and the subjects exploited it cleanly.\n\nWhat the docs did well:\\n- The 'Building markup from a template' section (WP_HTML_Tag_Processor overview) states the two rules this task hinges on verbatim: (1) include attributes in the template with empty values so updates preserve written order, with an explicit warning that ADDED attributes sort by name rather than call order — this is exactly why the subjects put src and alt in the template rather than calling set_attribute on a bare <img>, guaranteeing the required src-then-alt ordering; (2) include placeholder text inside elements that need text content. Its code example is structurally the answer.\\n- set_modifiable_text's docblock carries a nearly identical worked example ('<figure><figcaption>.</figcaption></figure>' with a token-walk for '#text'), plus the critical fact that a container element (it names FIGCAPTION explicitly) carries no text of its own and that an EMPTY element has no #text token at all. This pre-empts the most likely failure mode — calling set_modifiable_text while matched on the FIGCAPTION opener, or on an empty <figcaption></figcaption> with no placeholder. None of the subjects fell into it.\\n- The encoding guarantees in set_attribute and set_modifiable_text ('Provide normal, unescaped string values; the HTML API will encode them') directly answer the ampersand/quote/angle-bracket/script cases. get_attribute's 'String values are returned DECODED' note and the inverse note for set_attribute reinforce the direction. The subjects correctly trusted the API for encoding rather than hand-escaping, which the task explicitly forbade.\\n- The 'Which processor should I use?' guidance (Tag Processor for flat, position-based attribute/class/text edits with byte-exact preservation) steered all three to the lighter, correct class rather than the HTML Processor.\\n\\nNear-misses in the explanations: none material. All three explanations are accurate. Trial-1's only weakness is in the code, not the prose: a redundant next_tag('figcaption') before the token walk. The token-walk-only approach in trials 2 and 3 is cleaner and matches the documented example exactly. One latent fragility shared by all trials (not exercised by these tests): the token walk takes the FIRST '#text' token in the whole document. That is robust here only because figure and img contribute no text nodes; if the template had leading/whitespace text the loop could match the wrong node. The docs' template example has the same property, so the subjects inherited a safe-but-not-defensive pattern. Not penalized since it is correct for the documented and tested shape.",

All three subjects copied this pattern unchecked.",

A subject reading only the method heading could miss why pre-seeding empty attributes in the template matters for required attribute order.",
+      "suggestion": "Cross-reference the ordering rule directly in the set_attribute method docblock: a short sentence stating that newly-created attributes are emitted after existing ones sorted by name (not in call order), and that to control output order one should include the attribute in the source markup. This keeps the load-bearing fact discoverable from the method, not only from the overview."

Relies on get_modifiable_text() already-decoded UTF-8 text without re-decoding, per docs. Edge cases handled: zero/negative limit, multibyte truncation, script/style exclusion via the #text filter.

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed all 9 cases with no _doing_it_wrong or trigger_error records. So this analyzes the near-misses and what the docs did well, plus one latent adherence problem the test suite did not surface.\n\nWhat the docs did well: (1) get_modifiable_text()'s docblock in both files states the returned text is already decoded ('&amp; is returned as &', 'Do not decode the returned string again') and is UTF-8, and explicitly recommends passing 'UTF-8' to mb_strlen/mb_substr when slicing by code points. All three trials followed this precisely, so the entities-count-decoded, accented, and multibyte-emoji cases passed cleanly with no double-decoding and no mid-character splits. (2) The token-walking recipe (the next_token() + get_token_type()==='#text' loop) is shown almost verbatim in both docs, including a literal `if ('#text' === $processor->get_token_type())` example, which all three reproduced correctly. (3) The script-excluded case passed in all trials because both processors emit SCRIPT/STYLE bodies on the element's own #tag token rather than as a #text token, so the simple #text filter drops them; the Tag Processor doc's 'Special atomic HTML elements' section (lines 277-293) explains this carefully.\n\nThe real latent issue is processor choice, masked by the test design. Trials 1 and 2 used WP_HTML_Tag_Processor; trial 3 (and the reference) used WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment(). The shared 'Which processor should I use?' section says to use the HTML Processor 'when structure matters: ... collecting an element's text content ... handling implied or missing closing tags the way a browser would.' This task does both: it collects all text content, and the malformed-nesting case (<div><p>one<p>two</div>tail, with implied </p> closers) is exactly the browser-correction scenario. Trials 1 and 2 chose the discouraged processor yet still passed — including malformed-nesting — because this particular task's text model is purely source-order concatenation of #text tokens, and both classes surface the same #text tokens in the same order; structure-awareness only matters when ancestor/depth/breadcrumb decisions drive what text is kept. The docs nowhere state that, for pure order-preserving text extraction with no per-element decisions, the linear Tag Processor produces the same #text token stream as the full Processor. Because the guidance is framed categorically ('collecting text content => use HTML Processor'), a subject reading it faithfully would pick trial 3's approach; subjects who reached for the simpler/first-documented Tag Processor were not corrected by the test outcome. This is a near-miss: the guidance steered correctly but the absence of a stated boundary (when the simpler processor is equivalent) means the rubric's 'correct processor for the job' is genuinely split across trials even at 9/9 passing.",

+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor / WP_HTML_Processor — shared 'Which processor should I use?' section",

For pure source-order text extraction with no per-element/ancestor decisions, both classes emit the same #text token stream, so two trials used the discouraged processor and still passed every case — including malformed/implied-closer input. Readers cannot tell from the docs whether the recommendation is a hard correctness requirement or a soft preference.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a sentence distinguishing the two situations: structure-aware text extraction (keep/skip text based on which ancestor it is under, depth, or breadcrumbs) REQUIRES the HTML Processor; but flat concatenation of all #text tokens in document order — with no decisions that depend on tree structure — produces identical results in either processor, since both surface the same #text tokens in the same order.

The processor.md side states the inverse warning (the recipe 'silently returns an empty string' for those elements) but the Tag Processor side omits the symmetric, reassuring fact.",
+      "suggestion": "In the Tag Processor's token/modifiable-text discussion, add an explicit note: when walking tokens and collecting only #text nodes, the contents of SCRIPT, STYLE, TITLE, and TEXTAREA are never visited (they are modifiable text on the element's #tag token, not #text children), so a #text-only filter excludes them without any special case. Cross-reference get_token_type()'s possible values."

Trial 3 implemented this correctly on its own; the others would benefit from seeing it as a documented pattern alongside the depth/breadcrumb guards.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a brief note (or one-line example) that a walk loop may also be bounded by an output condition — e.g. break out of the while-loop once the accumulated result reaches its size/codepoint budget — not only by depth or breadcrumb conditions. This generalizes the 'bound your walk' advice to budget-limited accumulation."

+  "failure_analysis": "Three of the eight-case suite failed, all the SAME case ('simple') across trials 2 and 3, all from ONE misconception: using a strict `>` depth guard instead of `>=` when walking the tokens inside an A element.\n\nMechanism (probe-verified): collect_links records the depth at the A opener, then walks tokens while the guard holds, accumulating #text. For `<a href=\"/b\"><em>second</em> link</a>`, the A opener is at depth 4. The text 'second' lives at depth 6 (HTML>BODY>P>A>EM>#text). Crucially, the `</em>` CLOSING token reports depth 4 — equal to the A opener's depth — because when matched on a closer, the closed element has already been popped from the stack of open elements (documented at html-processor.md next_token() lines 711-713 and get_current_depth() line 879). A `> 4` guard is false at that `</em>` closer, so the `while ( next_token() && depth > 4 )` loop terminates there, before reaching the trailing ' ' and 'link' text nodes. Result: 'second' instead of 'second link'. Every other case passed because their links contain no inline child element whose closer sits at the boundary depth (the 'simple' case's first link 'First' has no nesting; only the second link does).\n\nDocumentation responsibility: this is NOT a documentation gap. The docs already state the correct rule explicitly, twice, in the exact sections a subject would read for this task:\n- get_current_depth() (heading '### `get_current_depth()`', lines 879-880): 'a child element's closing token reports a depth EQUAL to the matched ancestor's opening-token depth ... That equality is precisely why a subtree walk's guard must be `>=` — a `>` guard exits at the first child closer and drops everything after it.'\n- get_current_depth() recipe (lines 918-928): the canonical loop uses `>= $depth_inside_ul` with an inline comment '// >= and not >.' and a full paragraph explaining that '>' ends the walk early at the first direct-child closer.\n- next_token() recipe (lines 651-668): the LI text-collection example uses `>=` and comments 'The `>=` comparison is required: `>` would end this walk at the first nested closer ... and silently drop the trailing text.'\n\nTrial 1 read and applied this correctly (`>=`) and passed everything. Trials 2 and 3 chose `>`; trial 3's explanation even rationalizes the wrong choice ('uses > comparison (not >=) to terminate when reaching the A tag's closing token'), revealing the precise misunderstanding: the subject reasoned only about the A element's OWN closer (which does report depth 3, below the guard) and overlooked that a NESTED child's closer (`</em>`) also lands at the boundary depth 4. The docs anticipate exactly this misread and warn against it, but the warning, though present and emphatic, did not prevent the error in 2 of 3 trials. This is a near-miss in doc EFFECTIVENESS rather than doc CONTENT: the correct comparison is stated, but the consequence is framed as a comment beside the recipe and as prose, and the failing subjects still defaulted to the intuitively-appealing-but-wrong `>`. The high baseline (trial 1 perfect, the other two off by one character) indicates the docs are strong here; the improvements below aim to make the single load-bearing distinction even harder to miss.",

Subjects who reason only about the container's own closer (which sits below the guard) conclude `>` is safe and never realize a child closer shares the opener's depth. Both failing trials made exactly this reasoning error.",

All three trials passed all 7 cases (simple, deep-ancestor, outside-untouched, implicitly-closed-paragraphs, existing-class-preserved, nested-blockquotes, mixed-document) with byte-for-byte expected output. There were no _doing_it_wrong or trigger_error records in any execution.json.\n\nWhat the docs did well: The task is a textbook fit for the documented happy path. The html-processor.md \"Breadcrumbs\" prose (lines 50-54) and the get_breadcrumbs() heading + example (lines 842-858, showing breadcrumbs ending with the matched element and always prefixed by HTML/BODY for fragments) gave subjects exactly the mental model needed for ancestor detection. The html-tag-processor.md explicit warning that get_breadcrumbs()/get_current_depth() 'do not exist on this class — they belong to WP_HTML_Processor' (line 20) steered all three to the structural processor rather than the tag processor; this is likely why no subject reached for WP_HTML_Tag_Processor. add_class() docs (preserving existing classes, html-tag-processor.md:328) directly support the existing-class-preserved case, and get_updated_html()'s byte-for-byte guarantee (html-tag-processor.md:2297) covered the outside-untouched / mixed-document preservation requirements. The create_fragment() signature shows the static|null return, prompting all three to guard for null.\n\nThe implicitly-closed-paragraphs case (<blockquote><p>first<p>second</blockquote>) is the only structurally tricky one, and it passed for free: the HTML Processor's tree construction implicitly closes the first P and opens the second, both still inside BLOCKQUOTE, so get_breadcrumbs() correctly reports BLOCKQUOTE for both. The docs do not explicitly document P implicit-close behavior, but subjects did not need to know it — relying on get_breadcrumbs() at each next_tag('P') match was sufficient, which is the documented pattern.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations / a robustness gap that did not bite: All three check in_array('BLOCKQUOTE', get_breadcrumbs()) over the entire breadcrumb array, which INCLUDES the currently-matched node as its last element (confirmed by probe: matching P yields ['HTML','BODY','BLOCKQUOTE','P']). The canonical reference instead slices off the last element (array_slice(...,0,-1)) so it tests strictly ancestors. The trials' version is correct here only because the matched tag name (P) can never collide with the searched ancestor name (BLOCKQUOTE). If the task had been 'mark every BLOCKQUOTE nested inside another BLOCKQUOTE', the trials' full-array check would self-match and produce wrong results. No trial's explanation acknowledged that breadcrumbs include the matched node itself, suggesting the subjects did not fully internalize this — they got lucky that the distinct tag names made the distinction moot. The get_breadcrumbs() docs do state breadcrumbs run 'down to the currently-matched node' (line 50) and the example ends with the matched IMG (line 858), so the information was present but evidently underweighted.",

All three subjects wrote an ancestor test as in_array('BLOCKQUOTE', get_breadcrumbs()) over the full array, which happens to be safe only because their target tag name differs from the searched ancestor name. None acknowledged the inclusion of self.",
+      "suggestion": "Add an explicit sentence and a one-line idiom for 'is X an ancestor of the current node' that excludes self, e.g. note that 'get_breadcrumbs() includes the currently-matched element as the final entry; to test for an ancestor, examine all but the last element (array_slice($crumbs, 0, -1)) so a node is not treated as its own ancestor.' This generalizes to any ancestor query without encoding this task's solution."

+      "suggestion": "Add a short note (with a P-or-LI example) that the processor reconstructs the spec-correct tree, including implicit end tags for elements with optional closers, and that get_breadcrumbs()/get_current_depth() reflect that reconstructed tree at every matched token — so authors can trust ancestor queries even when end tags are omitted in the source."

Every method (create_fragment, next_tag with array query, next_token, get_current_depth, get_token_type, get_token_name, is_tag_closer, get_modifiable_text) exists in the docs.

The single defect is the subtree-termination guard: `if ($depth <= $table_depth) break;`. The get_current_depth() docs state the rule explicitly — break must be `< $depth`, never `<= $depth`, because a nested element's closer reports a depth EQUAL to the container opener's depth. Probe confirms TABLE opener is depth 3 and `</THEAD>` reports depth 3, so the loop terminates right after the first (thead) row, dropping all tbody rows. Failed thead-tbody (1/8 rows expected 3); passed the other 7 because single-section tables never surface a depth-equal intermediate closer before the data is collected. Idiomatic-pattern and edge-case points docked for the off-by-one guard that the docs specifically warn against.

Combines get_tag() with get_token_type()==='#tag' guards, so dispatch is correct. Correct subtree break (`< $table_depth`). Row management is opener-driven (flush previous row on each TR/cell boundary + post-loop flush via `! empty($current_row)`); passed 8/8 including empty-cells, entities, markup-in-cells, and first-table-only (depth break after first </TABLE>).

+  "failure_analysis": "Only one hidden case failed across all three trials: trial-2 / thead-tbody.\n\nMechanism (probe-confirmed): For `<table><thead><tr><th>H</th></tr></thead><tbody>...`, the TABLE opener reports get_current_depth()===3. Inside, THEAD=4, TR=5, TH=6, #text=7; then closers `</TH>`=5, `</TR>`=4, `</THEAD>`=3. Trial-2's loop guard is `if ($depth <= $table_depth) break;` with $table_depth===3. The `</THEAD>` closer reports depth 3, which satisfies `<= 3`, so the walk terminates immediately after the thead row — before TBODY/its rows are ever visited. Result: [[\"H\"]] instead of [[\"H\"],[\"a\"],[\"b\"]]. Trials 1 and 3 used `< $table_depth` (break only when strictly below) and both passed.\n\nMisconception: the subject treated \"depth returned to the container's opener depth\" as \"we have left the container.\" But a child element's CLOSING token reports a depth EQUAL to the container opener's depth (the container's own closer is the first token strictly below it). The boundary is `<` for the break form / `>=` for the continue form, never `<=`/`>`.\n\nResponsible documentation: this exact rule is present and even emphasized. WP_HTML_Processor `get_current_depth()` (and the `is_tag_closer()` heading) state: \"a child element's closing token reports a depth EQUAL to the matched ancestor's opening-token depth ... that equality is precisely why a subtree walk's guard must be `>=` ... Writing `>` instead would end the walk early ... in break-condition form: `break` when the depth drops BELOW the depth recorded at the opener (`< $depth`), never at `<= $depth`.\" Trial-2 nonetheless wrote `<=`. So this is primarily a subject error rather than a doc absence. The contributing doc weakness is presentation, not content: the correct rule is delivered as a single dense prose clause buried at the end of a long method docblock, in two different forms (`>=` continue and `< $depth` break) in the same paragraph; the canonical worked examples (LI walk, UL walk) are all written in CONTINUE form (`>= $depth` in the while condition), so a reader who instead structures the loop as `while(next_token()){ ...; if(BREAK) break; }` has to translate the rule themselves — and that translation is exactly where trial-2 slipped. No example in either doc shows the break-condition form in running code. The other seven cases all happened to pass for trial-2 because single-section tables (no THEAD/TBODY siblings, or omitted-closer tables that fall under an implicit single TBODY) never present a depth-equal intermediate closer ahead of the data; the bug only surfaces when two sibling sections (THEAD then TBODY) exist so that the first section's closer sits at the table-opener depth.\n\nWhat the docs did well: the get_modifiable_text() / decoded-text guidance produced correct entities-in-cells output in all three trials (no double-decoding, no raw `&amp;`); the \"accumulate #text while walking rather than assuming one token carries all of an element's text\" note in next_token() yielded correct markup-in-cells concatenation (\"bold text\", \"link\"); the single-loop-no-nested-walks DT example was clearly the template all three followed, preventing the cursor-interference class of bug entirely; and the depth-break / next_tag-doesn't-stop-at-element-end guidance gave all three correct first-table-only behavior.",

A subject who structures the walk as a `while(next_token()){ ... if (depth <= $start) break; }` loop must translate the rule, and that translation is where trial-2 wrote `<=` and dropped every token after the first nested section closer.",

A reader walking a table's tokens is not told that a bare `<table><tr><td>` produces an implicit TBODY token in the stream (adding a depth level), nor that `<thead>` and `<tbody>` appear as their own opener/closer tokens between TABLE and TR. Two of the three subjects guessed this correctly from general HTML knowledge, but the doc never states it, and it is the fact that determines the correct depth arithmetic for table walks.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence: when walking a TABLE with next_token(), expect implicit TBODY (and explicit THEAD/TBODY/TFOOT) tokens between the TABLE opener and the TR rows — rows therefore sit one level deeper than the TABLE and each table section emits its own opener and closer token. This sets correct expectations for any depth- or breadcrumb-guarded table traversal without prescribing this task's solution."

It performs a single-pass walk through all table tokens using next_token(), tracking state with three variables: current_row, current_cell_text, and table_depth. TR tokens mark row boundaries; TD/TH tokens mark cell boundaries. Text nodes accumulate into the current cell when one is active. This single-pass pattern avoids nested loops as documented, and leverages WP_HTML_Processor's automatic implicit tag closure (TBODY, TR, TD/TH) per HTML5 parsing rules.",

Implements the exact documented rewriting recipe from the serialize_token() section (lines 1050-1066): walk every token, concatenate serialize_token(), emit <mark> wrappers around matching #text tokens. Correctly relies on get_modifiable_text() returning DECODED text (line 2104) for the entity case, and the documented create_fragment null guard. Filters on '#text' so attribute and comment text are correctly excluded.

All three trials passed all 8 hidden cases (simple-unclosed, multiple-text-nodes, keyword-in-attribute-not-wrapped, entity-encoded-keyword-matches, split-across-elements-no-match, keyword-in-comment-not-wrapped, case-sensitive, normalization-side-effects), and all three are functionally and structurally near-identical to reference.php.\n\nWhat the docs did well: This task succeeded precisely because the documentation contained the load-bearing facts as first-class, prominent statements rather than as things a subject had to infer.\n\n1. The serialize_token() section (html-processor.md lines 1040-1066) is the decisive passage. It explicitly states that walking every token with next_token() and concatenating serialize_token() reconstructs the normalized serialization (== serialize() output), and that the token-by-token form exists so a rewriting loop can \\\"emit extra markup around them to insert wrappers.\\\" That is exactly the mark-wrapping task. It even ships a worked rewriting-loop example (the SUP-removal snippet, lines 1054-1064) that all three subjects clearly templated from. This single section drove the correct processor choice, the correct loop shape, and the correct normalization expectation simultaneously. The companion note \\\"Closing tokens of skipped elements must be skipped too\\\" (line 1050) preempts the most common rewriting-loop bug; not needed for this wrap-only task but a useful guardrail.\n\n2. get_modifiable_text() (lines 2092-2105) explicitly states that for #text nodes the returned text is DECODED (\\\"character references have been replaced by the characters they represent. Do not decode it again\\\"). This is the exact fact required by entity-encoded-keyword-matches (w&#111;rld -> world). Every subject matched against get_modifiable_text() without attempting a second decode, so all passed it. Had this section omitted the decoded/raw distinction, subjects might have matched against raw source and failed the entity case.\n\n3. get_token_type() returning '#text' is shown in inline examples in both files (html-tag-processor.md line 174, html-processor.md lines 639/656), giving subjects a copyable, correct token-type discriminator. Filtering on '#text' is also what makes the attribute case and the comment case pass for free — attribute values and comment interiors are simply never '#text' tokens, so no special-casing was needed and none of the subjects added any.\n\n4. create_fragment() (lines 348-383) documents the static|null return, which all three subjects guarded with `if ( null === $processor ) return ''`, mirroring the reference's incomplete-input handling.\n\nNear-misses in explanations: none material. The subjects' explanations are accurate. One subtle point none of them articulated (and didn't need to): they attribute normalization entirely to serialize_token(), which is correct, but the case-sensitive and split-across-elements cases pass because of the #text-node granularity of the parser, not because of anything serialize_token() does — a subject who understood serialization but not tokenization could in principle have mis-scoped a match. The docs cover this via the modifiable-text/#text-node model, but it is spread across sections rather than stated as one rule (\\\"a keyword split across two text nodes is two separate get_modifiable_text() values\\\"). It did not cause any failure here.",

The decisive doc passage is the set_bookmark() section of html-tag-processor.md, which at line 1124 spells out the exact pattern the task requires: \\\"A common use: to remember 'the last matching tag' in a single pass, re-set the same bookmark name on every match, then seek to it once after the scan completes (re-setting a name moves the bookmark...).\\\" Line 1161 reinforces it: \\\"Setting a bookmark with a name that is already in use MOVES that bookmark... Re-setting the same name on every match is the supported idiom for remembering 'the last X seen so far'... This is how to track the last occurrence of something in a single pass without hitting the bookmark limit.\\\" All three subjects discovered and applied this idiom verbatim; trial-3's explanation explicitly cites it.\n\nSupporting passages that prevented other near-misses:\n- The no-H2 path was handled with has_bookmark() (documented, line 1368), correctly returning input unchanged; the bookmark-was-never-set state was understood.\n- Tag-name case-insensitivity (line 937: \\\"a query of img matches <IMG>...\\\") let lowercase 'h2' queries match the lowercase test input without any subject second-guessing casing — no failures here, though see doc_gaps for a latent risk.\n- The comment-h2 case passed for free because next_tag only matches real tags; subjects correctly reasoned that comment contents are skipped (the docs frame next_tag as finding HTML tags, and the document-structure discussion implies comment content is not tag content).\n- add_class preserved existing classes and whitespace/ordering (line 328 documents this), so the existing-class case (outro -> 'outro final-section') passed.\n\nNear-miss in the explanations only: all three append release_bookmark() right before returning, which is pointless (the processor is discarded immediately).

It does four things that, together, fully scaffold this task: (1) names the operation precisely - 'Normalizes an HTML fragment by serializing it'; (2) states the BODY-context assumption, which matches the task's 'as found inside <body>' framing so subjects did not waste effort on create_fragment/serialize plumbing; (3) enumerates exactly the equivalences the task asks to ignore - double-quoting of attribute values, duplicate-attribute removal, omitted-tag insertion, tag/attribute lowercasing, character-reference re-encoding, and trailing-incomplete-syntax dropping; (4) documents the null return ('Normalized output, or null if unable to normalize'). All three subjects' explanations cite these same bullet points, so the mapping from doc to solution was direct rather than inferred.\n\nTwo near-misses worth recording, neither of which bit because normalize() happened to do the right thing:\n\n1. Attribute order. The task explicitly requires that attribute-order differences count as structural ('Differences in attribute order... do change the structure'), and the attribute-order-differs case expects false. normalize() preserves the source order of attributes that already exist on a tag (it does not sort them; only ADDED attributes are sorted, a fact documented only on the Tag Processor's set_attribute, not on normalize). None of the three explanations reasoned about whether normalize preserves or canonicalizes existing attribute order - they got the correct false purely because the underlying behavior aligned. Had a subject assumed normalize canonicalizes attribute order (a plausible reading of 'normalize'), they might have wrongly expected true and chosen a different, broken approach. The doc's normalize bullet list says nothing about existing-attribute order, leaving this load-bearing guarantee implicit.\n\n2. The unsupported-markup warning. On the misnesting case, normalize() internally calls serialize(), which emits an E_USER_WARNING ('Cannot serialize HTML Processor with parsing error: unsupported.') before returning null. This shows up in trigger_error for all three trials. It is harmless here - the null check converts it to the correct false - but the normalize() docblock does not mention that a warning/notice is emitted on the unsupported path, only that it returns null. A subject who tested locally and saw a warning might have second-guessed the approach or added unnecessary error suppression.",
+  "doc_gaps": [
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::normalize() (and the parallel list on serialize()) in html-processor.md",
+      "problem": "The 'Many aspects... may be changed during normalization' bullet list enumerates what normalize() CHANGES (quoting, casing, entity re-encoding, duplicate removal, implied tags) but never states what it PRESERVES. In particular it is silent on attribute order: normalize() keeps existing attributes in their source order and does not sort them. Tasks that compare normalized output for structural equality (or that rely on order being significant vs. insignificant) depend on this guarantee, yet it is documented only obliquely on WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::set_attribute, which a reader of normalize() would not consult.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to the normalize()/serialize() preservation notes: 'The relative order of attributes already present on a tag is preserved; normalization does not reorder existing attributes.' This makes order-sensitivity a documented contract rather than an accident a comparison happens to rely on."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::normalize() Returns/behavior, html-processor.md (lines ~976-988)",
+      "problem": "The docblock says normalize() returns null on unsupported/unparseable input but does not mention that the unsupported path also emits a PHP warning (E_USER_WARNING 'Cannot serialize HTML Processor with parsing error: unsupported.') via the internal serialize() call. Callers who only check the null return are correct, but the undocumented side-effect can mislead someone who observes the warning during local testing into thinking their usage is wrong.",
+      "suggestion": "Note in the normalize()/serialize() docs that, in addition to returning null, the processor emits a warning when it aborts on unsupported markup, and that checking for a null return is the correct, sufficient way to detect failure. State plainly that the warning is informational and does not require suppression."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor 'HTML Support' / 'Which processor should I use?' overview",
+      "problem": "The overview lists normalized serialization as a capability of the HTML Processor but does not point readers to normalize() as the single-call entry point for 'canonicalize a BODY-context fragment and compare/store it.' Subjects here succeeded, but only because normalize() was easy to find in the method index; a reader scanning the overview for 'how do I get a canonical form of a fragment' is told about structure-awareness generally, not directed to the one method that does it in a single call.",
+      "suggestion": "In the 'Choose it whenever document STRUCTURE matters... normalizing markup' sentence, add an explicit cross-reference: 'see WP_HTML_Processor::normalize() for the single-call way to produce a canonical serialization of a BODY-context fragment.' This shortens the path from intent to the correct method."

The serialize_token Remove-every-SUP-element example, including the sentence that closing tokens of skipped elements must be skipped too, was an almost-exact template; all three reproduced it, passing nested-spans, adjacent-spans, and span-with-block-content, each of which depends on dropping both opener and closer. The normalize and serialize effect lists (double-quoting, omitted tags added, text re-encoded) explained the no-spans-normalized-passthrough and unclosed-span cases. The single conceptual near-miss across all three explanations: the reference guards the skip with get_token_type tag plus get_tag, but every subject matched SPAN via get_tag alone. This is safe because get_tag returns null for text and comment tokens (probe-confirmed), so non-tag tokens are never mistakenly skipped and a comment whose text is the word span is never matched, but no subject explained why and the docs only demonstrate get_tag returning null at end-of-scan rather than during a token walk.</parameter>\n</invoke>\n"

+  "explanation": "The function uses WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment() to parse the HTML with full tree structure awareness, then iterates through every token using next_token(). For each token, it checks if the tag is SPAN (case-insensitive comparison is handled by get_tag() which returns uppercase). SPAN opening and closing tags are skipped entirely, while all other tokens (text nodes, other tags, comments, etc.) are serialized and accumulated. The serialize_token() method produces normalized HTML output that matches the specification requirement. The processor automatically handles implied closing tags and produces normalized serialization as required.",

Subject: [PATCH 039/193] HTML API docs round 13 hypotheses: no closer-guard
 needed by default; implied elements appear in walks.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

T06 trials keep adding defensive is_tag_closer() guards after plain
next_tag() — make the skip-default's consequence affirmative. T08's
recurring depth surprises trace to implied structure: the parser
inserts elements that never appear in the source (TBODY between TABLE
and TR — verified: TR breadcrumbs are HTML>BODY>TABLE>TBODY>TR), which
shift absolute depths; state the rule and the anchor-on-matched-depth
practice in next_token()'s walk guidance.

+## Round 12 — Haiku, checkpoint: held-out at new high
+
+**All-19 96.05 / train 97.39 / held-out 91.04 (new high; was 88.79 at
+round 9, 87.38 at the round-2 baseline).** N05 +12.4 → 70.6: two
+perfect trials at last (the walk-path RCDATA note generalized); its
+remaining failure is a NEW, narrower gap — a trial hallucinated
+WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::create_fragment() (the factory exists only on
+the HTML Processor). That construction-asymmetry gap has only ever
+been flagged from held-out, so no edit — monitoring for train
+evidence. T08 had one 1/8 relapse (implied-TBODY depth surprises);
+T06 trials add needless is_tag_closer() guards.
+
+Round-13 hypotheses (committed): the skip-default's consequence stated
+affirmatively (no closer guard needed after plain next_tag()); implied
+elements appear in walks (synthesized TBODY verified), anchor on
+matched depth rather than absolute numbers.
+
 ## Round 11 — Haiku, equality-case fix lands; asymptote territory
 
 **Train 98.28 (within noise of round-10's 98.70).** T03 +5.2 → 98.9

All methods verified present in docs: create_fragment, next_token, get_token_name, get_token_type, is_tag_closer, get_current_depth, get_modifiable_text. No _doing_it_wrong records; passed 7/7. Most robust of the three: explicit '#tag'===get_token_type() and !is_tag_closer() guards on the outer loop, and an inner depth-bounded walk (break on get_current_depth() < depth, equivalent to the docs' >= continue condition). Correctly relies on guaranteed closers for unclosed input and on get_modifiable_text decoding (Q&amp;A) and empty-region behavior (image-only heading yields ''). Minor deduction: uses a NESTED walk-loop structure (outer next_token loop + inner depth walk) that the next_token() doc explicitly warns against in favor of a single dispatch loop; it happens to be safe here because the inner walk ends exactly on the heading's own closer and the outer loop simply continues, but it diverges from the documented idiom."

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed 7/7 with zero _doing_it_wrong records and zero hallucinated methods. The analysis therefore focuses on what the documentation did well and the near-misses in subject reasoning.\n\nWhat the docs got right (and why it produced three correct solutions): The html-processor.md next_token() section is the decisive asset. It contains a near-verbatim template of the exact task — \"Collect the text content of the first LI element\" — using next_tag('LI'), $depth = get_current_depth(), then `while next_token() && get_current_depth() >= $depth { if '#text' collect get_modifiable_text() }`. Trials 2 and 3 transcribed this recipe almost line-for-line, substituting the heading-tag check. The section also explicitly inoculates against every edge case in the hidden suite: (a) the unclosed-heading case is covered by \"the HTML Processor visits a closing token for every element it opens... including elements left unclosed at the end of the input\"; (b) the image-only-heading empty-text case is covered by \"an empty element produces its opener and closer back-to-back with no #text between... records an empty string rather than skipping\"; (c) the >= vs > pitfall (a > comparison would drop trailing text after a nested </strong>) is called out explicitly, which is why no trial used the wrong comparator. The entities case (Q&amp;A → Q&A) is covered cleanly by get_modifiable_text()'s \"character references have been replaced... &amp; is returned as &\" with a worked example. get_tag()'s \"Returns the uppercase name of the matched tag\" let trial 2 safely match H[1-6] without a case-insensitive flag.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations / reasoning: (1) All three trials adopted a NESTED walk-loop structure — an outer loop (next_token in trial 1, next_tag in trials 2/3) wrapping an inner depth-bounded next_token walk — which is precisely the structure the next_token() doc warns against (\"There is only ONE cursor... do not nest walk loops; use a single loop that dispatches on the current token\"). The subjects read enough of the section to copy the depth recipe but not enough to internalize the single-loop guidance. It is safe here only by luck of the domain: each inner walk terminates exactly on the heading's own closer, and the outer loop (seeking the next tag/opener) loses nothing by resuming from a closer. The same nested shape would silently drop content in the doc's own cautionary scenario (adjacent text-bearing sibling regions). None of the explanations acknowledged this risk, indicating the warning passage was under-absorbed. (2) Trial 3's redundant strtoupper() + /i regex + is_tag_closer() guard show it did not fully trust the documented uppercase get_tag() contract or the documented next_tag() closer-skipping default — a confidence gap, not a correctness gap.",
+  "doc_gaps": [
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::next_token() — \"There is only ONE cursor\" / nested-loop warning paragraph",
+      "problem": "The doc correctly warns against nested walk loops and recommends a single dispatch loop, but it does not explain when a nested loop is actually SAFE versus unsafe. All three subjects used the warned-against nested structure anyway because, for element-bounded text collection, the inner walk ends on the target element's own closer and an outer tag-seeking loop resumes harmlessly. Without a stated boundary condition, readers cannot tell whether their nested loop is in the safe class or the silently-dropping class.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence distinguishing the cases: a nested inner walk that terminates on the bounded element's own closer is safe when the OUTER loop seeks the next opener/tag (it will not skip an opener), but is unsafe when the outer loop also needs to see text or the token the inner loop stopped on. State the invariant explicitly: 'the inner loop leaves the cursor on the closer of the bounded element; only resume with an outer loop that does not care about that closer.'"

A reader who jumps to get_current_depth() (the method actually doing the bounding) finds no statement of the key invariants: that a nested element's closer reports the same depth as the parent's contents (hence >= not >), and that an element's own closer reports a depth one less than its opener. Subjects relied on these facts transitively from the next_token example; a cross-reference would make get_current_depth self-sufficient.",
+      "suggestion": "In get_current_depth()'s description, add the depth contract for walks: openers increase depth, an element's own closer reports depth one less than its opener, and a nested descendant's closer never reports a depth below the parent's content depth — so bound subtree walks with `>=` against the opener's depth, never `>`. Cross-link to the next_token() collection recipe."

It iterates through tags with next_tag(), identifies headings (H1-H6) by tag name matching, and for each heading, walks through tokens using next_token() bounded by depth to collect all text nodes inside that heading element. The get_modifiable_text() method automatically handles character reference decoding. The level is extracted from the heading tag name, and results are returned as an array of associative arrays with 'level' and 'text' keys in document order.",

The task is a near-exact match to the canonical pattern in the docs: the html-tag-processor.md overview shows the next_tag/remove_class/get_updated_html loop almost verbatim, and the worked examples around lines 200-220 demonstrate remove_class('rugby'). The three behaviors the task hinges on were all discoverable, though not from one place: (1) whitespace/ordering preservation is stated generally at line 328 ('the add_class and remove_class methods preserve whitespace and the class ordering'); (2) dropping the class attribute when the last class is removed is stated only indirectly, inside the add_class section at line 2231 ('Dropping the attribute when its final class is removed is behavior of remove_class, not of this method'); (3) byte-exact (case-sensitive) class-name comparison is documented for add_class at line 2245 but NOT for remove_class. The subjects evidently generalized the case-sensitivity and attribute-drop semantics correctly despite the remove_class docblock (lines 2247-2267) being a bare stub that documents none of these. Near-miss in the explanations: all three confidently attribute case-sensitivity and attribute-removal to remove_class as if its own docs said so; they happened to be right, but a subject who read only the remove_class section would have had no basis for the case-sensitivity claim and could have guessed wrong on the EXTERNAL case.

It documents none of the three semantics this method is actually defined by: (a) case-sensitive/byte-exact class-name matching, (b) removal of the entire class attribute when the removed name was the last class, and (c) preservation of surrounding whitespace and remaining class ordering. All three facts live only in other sections (line 328 general statement, line 2231 buried inside add_class, line 2245 byte-exact comparison stated for add_class only). A reader who consults remove_class directly learns none of them.",

Idiomatic: in_array('FIGURE', $breadcrumbs, true) over the full breadcrumb stack matches the documented breadcrumb example using FIGURE/IMG (html-processor.md:765). Passed 8/8. Edge-case deduction: the src filter is `null !== $src && '' !== $src`. get_attribute() returns string|true|null (html-tag-processor.md:1472) and a valueless attribute like `<img src>` returns boolean true (verified via probe).

+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden test cases failed: all three trials passed 8/8. The docs were highly effective for this task. The decisive guidance the subjects needed and found:\n\n1. Processor selection. html-tag-processor.md:20 states plainly that the Tag Processor 'has NO awareness of the document tree ... get_current_depth() and get_breadcrumbs() do not exist on this class — they belong to WP_HTML_Processor.' This steered all three subjects to the correct processor for an ancestor-at-any-depth query. All chose WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment().\n\n2. Breadcrumb semantics. html-processor.md:50-54 explains breadcrumbs as the stack of open elements from root to matched node, and notes the implicit HTML/BODY prefix in fragment/BODY context. The FIGURE/IMG breadcrumb example at html-processor.md:765 and the next_tag breadcrumb examples (lines 43, 63-71) directly model the 'FIGURE anywhere in the ancestry' check. All three used in_array('FIGURE', get_breadcrumbs(), true) correctly, which handles the nested-depth, figcaption-sibling, and unclosed-figure cases without special handling because the parser's open-elements stack already tracks ancestry across implied tags and through unclosed elements.\n\n3. Entity decoding. The entity-decoded-src case (/i?a=1&amp;b=2 -> /i?a=1&b=2) passed in all trials because get_attribute returns decoded values, documented explicitly at html-tag-processor.md:1490 ('String values are returned DECODED ... Do not decode the returned value again'). Trial-3's explanation cited this behavior directly.\n\n4. Empty vs missing src. The no-src-skipped case passed everywhere. html-tag-processor.md:89 documents that get_attribute returns null when absent and '' when present-but-empty.\n\nThe one near-miss is a latent edge case the hidden tests do NOT cover but the docs DO describe: a valueless attribute such as `<img src>`. get_attribute()'s documented return type is string|true|null (html-tag-processor.md:1472), and a present-without-value attribute returns boolean true (confirmed via probe; mirrors the documented `$p->get_attribute('enabled') === true` example at line 1483). The task instructs skipping IMG 'whose src has no value.' Trial-3 used is_string($src) — matching the canonical reference — and would correctly skip such an image. Trials 1 and 2 used null/'' equality checks that fail to exclude the boolean-true case; they would erroneously push `true` into the returned array. This did not surface as a failure only because no test feeds a valueless src. The root cause of the divergence is that while the string|true|null return type is documented, the connection between 'valueless boolean attribute' and the true return is somewhat scattered across the boolean-attribute example and the return-type signature; two of three subjects did not internalize that a 'src with no value' yields true rather than '' or null.",

+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::get_attribute() (html-tag-processor.md, get_attribute section ~line 1469-1491)",

Two of three subjects wrote `null !== $src && '' !== $src` filters that silently let boolean true through, which is the wrong result when a task says to skip attributes with 'no value'. The empty-string note at line 89 and the true-return example at line 1483 are separated and never combined.",
+      "suggestion": "In the get_attribute() description, add one sentence and an example contrasting all three returns for the SAME attribute name: a quoted value returns the decoded string, a valueless occurrence (`<img src>`) returns boolean true, and an absent attribute returns null. Explicitly advise: to test for a usable string value, check is_string($value) rather than comparing against '' or null, because a present-but-valueless attribute returns true, not ''. This generalizes beyond this task and would have prevented the latent bug in two trials."

For this task it happened not to matter because IMG is never FIGURE, but a task asking 'is the current element inside an X' versus 'is the current element an X or inside one' hinges on this distinction.",

This task is a documentation success story, and the success traces to one specific, well-engineered passage.\n\nWhat the docs did well: The `paused_at_incomplete_token()` method docblock (html-tag-processor.md lines 1015-1047) contains the exact production recipe the task required, including the second example (lines 1033-1039) that drains the whole document with `while ($processor->next_token()) { continue; }` before reading the flag, prefaced by the crucial sentence \"In a longer document, drain all tokens first; this method reports the state at the point scanning stopped.\" This pre-empts the single most likely bug — calling `paused_at_incomplete_token()` after a single `next_tag()`/`next_token()` and getting a premature answer. All three subjects lifted this idiom verbatim. The method also appears in the Method Index (line 362) and is cross-referenced from `next_tag()` (line 941), so it was highly discoverable.\n\nThe conceptual trap in this task is distinguishing lexically-incomplete input (true: `<div class=\"x`, `<!-- unfinished`, `<script>var x=1;`) from structurally-unclosed-but-lexically-complete input (false: `<div>unclosed element`, lone trailing `<`). The docs cover the non-obvious half of this — that an unterminated SCRIPT/STYLE counts as incomplete because the special element's start..end is treated as one token — in the \"When matching fails\" section (lines 109-119) and the special-elements list (lines 121-141, 277-294). Subjects in trials 2 and 3 explicitly cited the SCRIPT case in their explanations, indicating the docs successfully transmitted that rule.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: none material. The lone-`<`-is-text and `<div>text`-is-complete behaviors were supplied by the task description itself rather than derived from the docs; the docs never state outright that a trailing bare `<` is a complete text token (it is — `paused_at_incomplete_token()` returns false). Had the task not spelled that out, a subject could plausibly have guessed wrong, since nothing in the two markdown files addresses the lone-`<` boundary case. This is a latent gap that this particular task masked.",

+      "problem": "The docblock explains what makes the processor pause (input ends mid-tag) but never enumerates which trailing constructs are NOT incomplete. A trailing bare `<` is a complete `#text` token (returns false), and an element left open like `<div>text` is structurally unclosed yet lexically complete (also false). Subjects only got these right because the task description happened to spell them out; the docs alone leave the boundary ambiguous, and a reader could reasonably assume a dangling `<` or an unclosed element 'pauses' the processor.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one or two contrast lines distinguishing lexical incompleteness from structural incompleteness, e.g.: 'This reports only LEXICAL truncation — input that ends partway through a single token. It returns false for a document whose tokens are all whole even if elements are left open: `<div>text` is complete (the DIV opener is a finished token; the missing `</div>` does not count), and a lone trailing `<` is a complete text node, not an unfinished tag.' This generalizes beyond the task and inoculates against the most natural misreading."

+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor — 'When matching fails' / special self-contained elements (html-tag-processor.md ~lines 109-141)",
+      "problem": "The text states an unclosed special element (STYLE/SCRIPT with no closing tag) 'counts as an incomplete tag' and 'pauses the processor', but this fact is only reachable via `next_tag()` returning false; it is not cross-linked from `paused_at_incomplete_token()`. A reader who lands on `paused_at_incomplete_token()` first will not learn that `<script>var x=1;` (no `</script>`) reports true even though the `<script>` opener itself was syntactically complete.",
+      "suggestion": "From the `paused_at_incomplete_token()` docblock, add a one-line note and {@see} cross-reference: 'An unterminated special element (SCRIPT, STYLE, TITLE, TEXTAREA, etc.) whose content runs to end-of-input also pauses the processor, because such an element is scanned as a single token from opener through closer.'

The decisive passage is the html-processor.md normalize() docblock ('Returns: string|null — Normalized output, or null if unable to normalize') combined with the class-level HTML Support section (line 84: 'methods which produce output (such as serialize() and normalize()) return null' when unsupported markup forces an early abort) and the explicit enumeration of the two abort triggers — foster-parenting and mis-nested formatting requiring advance/rewind, with the exact example `<b>one<i>two</b>three</i>` (line 90-91). That example matches the adoption-agency-false test input verbatim, so subjects could directly map task -> behavior -> return value. The normalize() docblock also seeds the alternative path (line 947: create_fragment + serialize), which trial-1 used correctly. Subjects unanimously converged on the null-return contract; no one tried to detect failure via get_last_error() or get_unsupported_exception() (which would also have worked), nor via exception catching (which would have been wrong, since the API swallows the WP_HTML_Unsupported_Exception internally and returns null rather than throwing). Near-miss in explanations: none materially wrong. The only latent issue, invisible to the tests: every correct solution emits an internal E_USER_WARNING 'Cannot serialize HTML Processor with parsing error: unsupported.' (level 512) on the adoption-agency-false case, because normalize() internally delegates to serialize() on the bailed processor. The docs never disclose that the null-returning path also emits a warning. This caused no test failure here (the harness records it as trigger_error, not doing_it_wrong, and the return value is still correct), but in production a caller using normalize() as a boolean predicate would generate log noise on every unsupported input — a subject following the docs could not have anticipated or suppressed this.\"",

Root misconception: the subject treated create_fragment() as a factory shared by both processor classes. In reality create_fragment() (and create_full_parser()) are static creators on WP_HTML_Processor only; WP_HTML_Tag_Processor is instantiated with `new WP_HTML_Tag_Processor($html)`. I verified by probe that the subject's underlying logic was sound — `new WP_HTML_Tag_Processor($html)` + next_tag('TITLE') + get_modifiable_text() passes all 7 cases — so the failure is purely the wrong instantiation API, not a misunderstanding of token/text semantics.\\n\\nDocumentation responsibility: the two markdown files never co-locate or contrast the instantiation methods of the two classes. The Tag Processor doc shows `new WP_HTML_Tag_Processor($html)` (html-tag-processor.md line 39, __construct at line 887) but never states the negative — that it has NO create_fragment/create_full_parser. The Processor doc shows create_fragment/create_full_parser as static creators (html-processor.md lines 348, 385) and its __construct says 'Do not use this method. Use the static creator methods instead.' (line 416). A reader skimming both files can plausibly infer a symmetric API where both classes expose create_* factories, especially since the Processor doc presents the create_* methods as the blessed entry point. Nothing in either file flags that the factory creators are Processor-only and that the Tag Processor uses a public constructor instead. That asymmetry is the documentation gap that produced the only failure in this round.\\n\\nWhat the docs did well (the two passing trials lean directly on this): the atomic-element behavior of TITLE is documented in three reinforcing places — html-processor.md line 620 ('elements whose contents cannot contain markup (SCRIPT, STYLE, TITLE, TEXTAREA) produce NO #text child tokens... Read their text... while matched on the element's opening tag'), the get_modifiable_text section's TITLE-on-opening-tag recipe (html-processor.md lines 2107-2117, which even uses create_full_parser), and the decoded-text guarantee for TITLE (html-processor.md line 2104, 'character references have been replaced... Do not decode it again'). create_full_parser is explicitly tied to 'complete documents with doctype and HEAD content' (line 86). This is why both passing trials independently arrived at the same clean solution and correctly handled empty-title-returns-'' vs no-title-returns-null. Near-miss in explanations: trial-2 was correct but underconfident (75); trial-3's explanation was the most precise, correctly attributing the decoded plaintext behavior to the HTML spec's treatment of TITLE.\"",

This exact mistake (WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::create_fragment()) caused all 7 failures in trial-1.",

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed 7/7 with zero _doing_it_wrong records. The docs were sufficient for this task. What worked: (1) The WP_HTML_Processor 'HTML Support' / 'Supported elements' section steered all three subjects to the structural processor rather than the lexical Tag Processor — essential here, because only the structural processor applies HTML5 tree-construction semantics (the <image>->IMG rename, SVG namespace assignment, and the img-breaks-out-of-svg adoption rule that the three 'tricky' fixtures depend on). (2) get_namespace()'s documented return contract ('One of \\\"html\\\", \\\"math\\\", or \\\"svg\\\"') gave every subject a reliable, correct mechanism to exclude SVG <image>; all three converged on it independently. (3) get_attribute()'s documented tri-state return (null absent / true boolean / decoded string, with '' for present-but-empty) let subjects write correct src guards.\\n\\nNear-misses in reasoning, not caught by the tests: (a) None of the three explanations articulates WHY the namespace check is what makes the SVG exclusion work at the parser level — they assert 'SVG <image> is in the svg namespace' but none connects this to the fact that the HTML parser RENAMES <image> to IMG only in HTML content while leaving it as IMAGE in foreign content. The docs never state the <image>->img rename explicitly (it is only implied by get_tag()'s 'certain tags be reprocessed with a different tag name'), so the subjects got the right answer by a slightly hand-wavy route. (b) The trickiest fixture, img-inside-svg-breaks-out (`<svg><img src></svg>` -> the IMG escapes foreign content into HTML namespace), is a pure HTML5 tree-construction subtlety. All trials passed it for free because they trusted the processor, but none of the explanations shows awareness that an IMG textually inside <svg> lands in the HTML namespace — they would likely have been surprised. The docs give no example of this 'breaking out' behavior; subjects succeeded by delegating to the parser rather than by understanding. (c) Trial 2's src guard has a latent boolean-attribute bug (would emit `true` for `<img src>`); it passed only because no fixture exercises a valueless boolean src. The docs DO document this return value (next to get_attribute), so this is a subject oversight, not a doc gap, but it shows the boolean-true case is easy to miss when reading quickly.\"",

There is no worked example showing that this is THE documented way to distinguish an HTML element from a same-spelled foreign-content element, nor any statement that SVG/MathML subtrees place their descendants in a non-html namespace. Subjects had to infer the whole SVG-exclusion strategy from a bare enum. They succeeded, but blindly.",

The doc text mentions boolean attributes return true but does not flag the common foot-gun of a guard that checks only null and '' .",
+      "suggestion": "In get_attribute(), add a one-line caution next to the boolean-attribute note: when filtering for 'has a real string value', test with is_string() (or explicitly exclude true), because a valueless boolean attribute returns true, not '' or null.

All three candidates are byte-for-byte identical and pass all 8 hidden cases, including the four that probe edge-case semantics: uppercase-tag, inside-comment-ignored, unquoted-attributes, and incomplete-tag-at-end.\n\nWhat the docs did well (the reason for the clean sweep): the next_tag() reference section opens with a \"What this matches\" list (html-tag-processor.md lines 935-941) that pre-answers every tricky case in the suite. Line 937 states tag-name matching is ASCII case-insensitive AND that original source casing is preserved in output — this directly yields the uppercase-tag expectation '<IMG class=\\\"wp-image\\\" SRC=\\\"a.jpg\\\">'. Line 939 states only real HTML tags match and tag-like text inside comments 'is never matched or modified' — directly yielding inside-comment-ignored. Line 941 states truncated input pauses the processor so the incomplete tag is never matched — directly yielding incomplete-tag-at-end (output unchanged). The add_class description (line 328) notes class operations preserve whitespace and ordering, and get_updated_html (lines 2297, plus the byte-preservation sentence) guarantees untouched bytes return verbatim — together covering existing-classes and unquoted-attributes (the latter also benefits from the documented quirk at line 328 that updated attributes become double-quoted, but since add_class only touches the class attribute, src=a.jpg width=10 stay unquoted, matching the expectation).\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: none material. All three explanations are accurate. The strongest (trial-3) explicitly cites the documentation for case-insensitivity; the weakest framing is the recurring claim that comments are 'naturally/automatically skipped because next_tag() only matches real tags' — true and doc-supported, but it elides the more general fact that comment CONTENTS are treated as text (not that comments are skipped as nodes). For this task that distinction is harmless, but a subject who needed to walk comment tokens could be misled.

The explanations in two trials showed this slight over-generalization.",

Boolean attributes return true\\\", line 1505) state exactly the three-way distinction, and the inline example at lines 1483-1484 ($p->get_attribute('enabled') === true; $p->get_attribute('aria-label') === null;) demonstrates true vs null directly. All three subjects converged on the correct null !== guard rather than a truthiness check (which would have wrongly skipped href=\\\"\\\") or an isset/array check. This is the doc passage most responsible for success.\\n- uppercase-attribute and the 'A'/'a' query mismatch: next_tag doc line 937 ('Tag-name matching is ASCII case-insensitive ... and the source document's original casing is preserved in the output') and the get_attribute attribute-name case-insensitivity note (lines 1513-1517) cover both why HREF is found and why the output retains original casing. No subject tried to lowercase anything manually.\\n- inside-comment-ignored: The overview line 7 ('only parses the HTML tag openers') plus the token-type table establish that next_tag stops only on real tag openers, so the <a> inside the comment is never visited. No subject attempted manual comment stripping.\\n- existing-target-overwritten: set_attribute doc line 156 ('If set_attribute() is called for an existing attribute it will overwrite the existing value ... safe to call without knowing if a given attribute exists') directly justifies the unconditional set_attribute('target','_blank'). Note the in-place overwrite preserves attribute position (expected '<a href=\\\"/x\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\">'), which the docs' overwrite-in-place wording implies and the result confirms.\\n- nested-markup-in-link and byte-for-byte preservation: get_updated_html doc lines 2289-2297 ('Every byte the updates did not touch is returned exactly as it appeared in the input -- no re-encoding, normalization, or reformatting occurs') gave subjects confidence to do nothing special for nested <strong>.\\n\\nNear-misses in explanations: trivial only. Trials 2 and 3 say get_attribute returns 'a string/boolean value' / 'true for boolean attributes' which is accurate; trial 1's comment 'string or true for boolean-like attributes' is also accurate.

It never shows the present-but-empty-string ('') case, which is the exact distinction that determines whether a 'presence' check should use null !== get_attribute(...) versus a truthiness check.

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed. All three trials passed all 8 cases, and all three converged on the canonical reference implementation with no hallucinated or undocumented API and zero _doing_it_wrong records. This is a clean sweep, so the analysis is of what the docs did well and the near-misses in reasoning.\n\nWhat the docs did well (round-12 versions are strong here):\n\n1. Processor selection was unambiguous. The 'Which processor should I use?' table in html-tag-processor.md and the 'Supported elements' paragraph in html-processor.md both explicitly route 'collecting an element's text content' / 'collecting an element's text' to the HTML Processor and warn that get_current_depth()/get_breadcrumbs() do NOT exist on the Tag Processor. All three subjects correctly chose WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment. None reached for the Tag Processor or tried to read inner HTML by byte offsets.\n\n2. The token-walking recipe is documented to the point of being copy-pasteable. WP_HTML_Processor::next_token() carries an almost-exact worked example ('Collect the text content of the first LI element') using next_tag, get_current_depth, the `>=` guard, get_token_type === '#text', and get_modifiable_text. get_current_depth() repeats the same pattern and explains the `>=`-vs-`>` subtlety twice, including the break-condition variant (`< $depth`). Trial-1 mirrors the while-guard form; trials 2 and 3 mirror the break-condition form. The docs supplied BOTH shapes, which is exactly why the two stylistic variants both came out correct.\n\n3. Three edge cases that could have produced wrong answers were each pre-empted by an explicit doc passage:\n   - image-only-empty-string (expected '', not null): the next_token() doc note 'It also handles empty regions naturally: an empty element produces its opener and closer back-to-back with no #text between, so the flush records an empty string rather than skipping the region.' The text accumulator initialized to '' and only appended on #text means a markup-only H1 naturally yields ''. No subject returned null here.\n   - unclosed-h1 (expected 'Runs to the end'): next_token()'s 'the HTML Processor visits a closing token for every element it opens, including elements left unclosed at the end of the input' and the LI example's note 'The unclosed LI and UL still produce closing tokens at the end of the input.' This is why the depth-bounded walk terminates correctly even with no literal </h1>. All three passed.\n   - entities-decoded: get_modifiable_text being the decoded text is implied by get_attribute's strong 'returned DECODED' language and the special-elements section ('character references are decoded'). All three relied on get_modifiable_text returning decoded text and were right.\n\nNear-misses / soft spots in the explanations (not failures):\n   - Trial-3's confidence was only 75 despite correct code. The likely cause: get_modifiable_text()'s own method docblock (in the truncated tail of html-tag-processor.md, and the index entry 'Returns the modifiable text for a matched token, or an empty string') does not itself state that #text nodes return DECODED character references. That fact has to be inferred from the special-elements prose and the get_attribute analogy. A subject reasoning narrowly off the get_modifiable_text heading alone cannot see the decoding guarantee for #text nodes, which depresses confidence even when the code is right.\n   - All three subjects relied on get_token_type() === '#text'. The Tag Processor's get_token_type/get_token_name distinction is documented for tags but the docs never state plainly that for a text node get_token_type() returns the string '#text' (the value appears in code examples but is not called out as the contract of get_token_type). The subjects pattern-matched from the example; a from-spec reader would have to trust the example.",

+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::get_modifiable_text() (method docblock)",
+      "problem": "The get_modifiable_text() docblock and its method-index entry only say it 'Returns the modifiable text for a matched token, or an empty string.'

This forced subjects to reason across sections and depressed confidence (trial-3 at 75) even though the code was correct.",
+      "suggestion": "State the decoding contract directly on get_modifiable_text(): for #text nodes (and RCDATA elements like TITLE/TEXTAREA) the returned string is DECODED -- character references such as &amp; and &mdash; are already replaced with the characters they represent -- whereas raw-text elements (SCRIPT, STYLE) are returned verbatim.

The encoding-sensitive cases (ampersand, quotes, angle brackets, the script-injection case) all passed because set_attribute and set_modifiable_text encode plain values automatically — the docs communicate this clearly in 'Building markup from a template' ('the API ... handles all of the necessary encoding') and in get_attribute ('The inverse holds for set_attribute, which accepts plain, unescaped values and encodes them as needed'). The two template rules in 'Building markup from a template' (include empty attributes to fix order; include placeholder text so a #text node exists for set_modifiable_text) directly prevented the two ways this task could silently fail: attributes emitted in sorted rather than source order, and an empty figcaption with no text node to replace. All three subjects internalized both rules. The docs did especially well here: the worked example at lines 166-182 is almost a one-to-one match for the task, the modifiable-text/get_token_type section enumerates '#text' precisely, and the 'special self-contained elements' material correctly steered subjects away from treating figcaption text as anything exotic. Near-misses in the explanations rather than the code: trial-3's belief that it had to re-parse the updated HTML into a fresh processor to continue editing text. The probe confirms a single processor keeps walking tokens after set_attribute, so this was a documentation-shaped gap, not a code bug — see doc_gaps. Trial-2's redundant next_tag('figcaption') is a milder version of the same uncertainty about how next_token's cursor relates to a preceding next_tag and to queued edits.\"",
+  "doc_gaps": [
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor — 'Building markup from a template' section (and/or set_attribute method)",
+      "problem": "The template example shows set_attribute calls followed by a next_token text-walk on the SAME processor, but never states explicitly that queued attribute edits do NOT consume or invalidate the cursor — you may continue scanning tokens and call set_modifiable_text afterward, all on one processor, and read everything back at the end with get_updated_html(). Trial-3 missed this and re-parsed get_updated_html() into a second processor purely to edit the caption (a wasteful full re-parse), and trial-2 inserted a redundant next_tag to re-anchor before walking. Both behaviors trace to the doc not asserting that edits are queued, non-destructive to traversal, and applied lazily.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence near the template example or in set_attribute: 'Attribute and text edits are queued, not applied immediately; they do not move or invalidate the scan cursor. A single processor can find a tag, set its attributes, continue with next_tag()/next_token() to later tokens, edit those too, and finally read the combined result once with get_updated_html(). Re-parsing get_updated_html() into a new processor is never required to make further edits.'"
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::get_updated_html()",
+      "problem": "The get_updated_html() heading exists and is referenced from the template example, but (per the visible portion) its own entry does not emphasize that it can be called once at the end to capture ALL queued edits across multiple tags/tokens, nor that calling it mid-stream is allowed but unnecessary. This ambiguity contributed to trial-3 calling it mid-function and then rebuilding a processor.",
+      "suggestion": "In get_updated_html()'s description, state that it returns the document with every queued update applied so far and is normally called a single time after all edits are made; calling it does not reset the processor, and there is no need to re-instantiate a processor to keep editing."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor — 'Tokens and finer-grained processing' / set_modifiable_text",
+      "problem": "The recurring 'walk next_token() until get_token_type() === \"#text\" then break' idiom appears in the template example but the docs never note what happens if no #text node exists (empty element) — set_modifiable_text would never be reached and the function would silently emit the placeholder/nothing. Subjects relied on their own controlled template so it didn't bite here, but a generalizable caution is missing.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short note to set_modifiable_text (or the template section): when targeting an element's text, ensure the element actually contains a text token before this loop — an empty element yields no #text token, so include placeholder text in templates (as rule 2 already says) and, when walking untrusted input, handle the loop completing without a match rather than assuming a #text node is always present."

Every API method each candidate invoked exists in the two markdown files (verified by grep: next_token, get_token_type, get_modifiable_text in both docs; new WP_HTML_Tag_Processor at tag-processor lines 39/357; WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment at processor lines 139/348). No hallucinated or undocumented methods.\\n\\nWhat the docs did well: (1) The tag-processor 'Tokens and finer-grained processing' section (lines 248-273) gives the near-exact recipe this task needs — a while(next_token()) loop dispatching on get_token_type()/get_token_name() with '#text' accumulating get_modifiable_text(). Trial 1 mirrors it almost verbatim. (2) The 'Tokens and modifiable text' subsection (lines 277-312) documents that #text nodes ARE their own modifiable text and that SCRIPT/STYLE contents are atomic (carried on the element token, not emitted as #text), which is exactly why script-excluded passes for all approaches. (3) The processor's next_token() note (line 620) restates the crucial fact that SCRIPT/STYLE/TITLE/TEXTAREA produce NO #text child tokens — both HTML-Processor trials cited this correctly. (4) The atomic-elements list (lines 289-293) documents decoding semantics (TITLE/TEXTAREA decode references; STYLE/IFRAME do not), reinforcing that get_modifiable_text returns decoded text for #text/TITLE.\\n\\nNear-misses in the explanations: (a) Trial 1 chose the Tag Processor despite the 'Which processor should I use?' guidance (tag-processor line 24) steering text-content collection to the HTML Processor. It still works and is robust (verified identical output to the HTML Processor on every corpus case, including malformed-nesting and incomplete input), so the guidance overstates the necessity of the HTML Processor for the simple flat-accumulation case — a subject following the letter of the doc would over-reach to the heavier processor unnecessarily. (b) None of the docs state outright that get_modifiable_text on a #text node returns Unicode that can be safely counted/truncated by code point with mb_substr/mb_strlen; all three subjects inferred the UTF-8/code-point relationship correctly from the Text Encoding section (tag-processor lines 338-342) plus general knowledge, but this was inference, not documented fact. (c) Trial 2's depressed confidence (78) signals residual uncertainty about whether per-token manual mb_substr truncation correctly avoids splitting multi-byte characters — the docs give no worked truncation example, so the subject could not confirm.",

The blanket phrasing can push readers to the heavier processor unnecessarily.",

For '<a href=\"/b\"><em>second</em> link</a>', the A opener is depth 4; </em> reports depth 4 (equal, not greater), so the loop terminates at </em> and drops the trailing ' link' text — producing text='second'.

The second link contains nested markup (`<em>second</em> link`). Verified by probe: the A opener reports depth 4; the EM opener is 5; the inner text 'second' is 6; the `</em>` closer reports depth 4 — EQUAL to the A opener's depth, not greater. Because the guard is strict `> 4`, the loop stops the instant it reaches `</em>` (depth 4) and never visits the subsequent ' ' and 'link' text nodes (depth 5). Trials 1 and 2 used the correct forms (trial-1: break when depth < link_depth; trial-2: continue while depth >= depth_inside_a) and passed. The first link ('First') passed for trial-3 only because it had no nested element, so the A closer was the first depth-4 token and no text was lost.\\n\\nDocumentation responsibility: this is a DOC-FOLLOWED-CORRECTLY-BY-2-OF-3 situation, not a doc gap in content. The html-processor.md `get_current_depth()` and `next_token()` sections are unusually thorough here: both contain the exact LI/STRONG worked example, state 'a child element's closing token reports a depth EQUAL to the matched ancestor's opening-token depth ... that equality is precisely why a subtree walk's guard must be >=', and explicitly call out that '> would end this walk at the first nested closer and silently drop the trailing text.' Trial-3 simply did not apply this guidance — it is the single most-emphasized pitfall in the docs and it still got missed. The remaining doc weakness is one of PLACEMENT/SALIENCE rather than absence: the >= rule lives only in the long prose of get_current_depth() and the next_token() example comments; the code example bound to the most-skimmable spot (the next_token() 'Collect the text content of the first LI' example) uses `>=`, but a reader who copies the shorter `> $depth` break-form mental model from the term-collection DT example (which uses a different closer-driven shape) can arrive at a strict comparison. All other failed-case categories (null/true href, decoded text/href, empty image text, unclosed input) passed in every trial, showing those doc sections (get_attribute's true/null semantics, get_modifiable_text decoding, next_token guaranteed-closers for malformed input) were effective.",

The rule is stated discursively rather than as a copy-paste-safe canonical snippet placed where it can't be missed.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short, visually distinct 'Canonical subtree-text walk' block (one ~5-line snippet) near the TOP of both get_current_depth() and next_token(), with an inline one-line comment 'use >= (or break on < depth); > drops text after a nested child's closer.'

The decisive passages were: (1) the 'Which processor should I use?' guidance in WP_HTML_Tag_Processor (lines 18-25) and the HTML Processor overview (line 81), which steer 'is this element inside that one' / containment work to WP_HTML_Processor — all three subjects chose it correctly; (2) the Breadcrumbs section (html-processor lines 48-72, 842-867) plus the next_token example at line 673 (`in_array('LI', $processor->get_breadcrumbs(), true)`), which model the exact ancestor-membership idiom the task needs; (3) the explicit note (line 54) that breadcrumbs always include implicit HTML/BODY and descend from root to the matched node, which makes 'BLOCKQUOTE anywhere above' a simple in_array — covering both the deep-ancestor and nested-blockquotes cases; (4) the documented null return of create_fragment, prompting the null/truthy guard in all three. The trickiest edge case, implicitly-closed-paragraphs (`<blockquote><p>first<p>second</blockquote>`), passed without any special handling because the HTML Processor's structural parsing (described under 'Supported markup', line 97: 'HTML with optional tags omitted, e.g. <p>one<p>two') correctly assigns both P openers a BLOCKQUOTE ancestor and add_class edits each opener in place. Near-miss in the explanations: none material. All three check the FULL breadcrumb array (which ends in 'P') rather than slicing off the matched node as the reference does; this is safe only because P is never named BLOCKQUOTE. A subject targeting a self-referential tag (e.g. 'mark every BLOCKQUOTE nested in a BLOCKQUOTE') would get a false positive from this same pattern — the docs never state that get_breadcrumbs() includes the currently-matched node as its last element, leaving that an inference the subjects happened to handle safely here.\"",

Code that checks ancestry with in_array(TAG, get_breadcrumbs()) silently includes the matched element itself, which yields false positives when the searched tag can equal the matched tag (e.g. 'is this BLOCKQUOTE inside another BLOCKQUOTE'). All three subjects relied on the full-array check; it was safe only because P != BLOCKQUOTE.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to get_breadcrumbs(): 'The last element of the returned array is the currently-matched node itself; the ancestors are the preceding elements.

A reader could plausibly reach for serialize() to read modified output.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short example near the top of WP_HTML_Processor showing the edit loop: create_fragment -> while next_tag -> add_class/set_attribute -> get_updated_html, with one line stating 'use get_updated_html() to read attribute/class edits; use serialize() only for normalization on an unscanned processor.' This reinforces the correct output method for the common editing case."

Because a TABLE auto-inserts an implicit TBODY, TR sits at table_depth + 2 (verified: TABLE depth 3, TBODY 4, TR 5), so the guard never matches, $current_row is never created, and every table input returns []. Passed only the no-table case (trivially []), 1/8. (2) It nests a second `while ($processor->next_token())` loop inside the outer loop to collect each cell — the exact nested-walk anti-pattern next_token() explicitly warns against (html-processor.md:624). The inner loop's relative depth handling was actually sound; the failure is entirely the rigid absolute-depth row assumption that ignored the implied TBODY. Deductions concentrated in idiomatic-use and edge-case categories, not processor choice or hallucination."

+  "failure_analysis": "All failures are in trial-3 (7 of 8 cases: simple, thead-tbody, omitted-closers, markup-in-cells, entities-in-cells, first-table-only, empty-cells all returned [] instead of the expected rows). Single root misconception: that a table row (TR) sits exactly one level below the TABLE element. Trial-3 guarded its row-opener branch with `$current_depth === $table_depth + 1`. The HTML parser inserts an implicit TBODY between TABLE and TR for these inputs (probe confirms TABLE=depth 3, implicit TBODY=4, TR=5, TD=6, #text=7), so a TR is at table_depth + 2. The hard-coded `+ 1` never fires, no row is ever opened, and every table case collapses to []. The thead-tbody case has the same fate for the same reason (THEAD/TBODY push TR one level deeper than assumed).\\n\\nWhich documentation is responsible: the fact that a TABLE auto-inserts TBODY (and that TR/TBODY are virtual nodes absent from the source) IS stated, but only in the set_bookmark() caveat at html-processor.md:2271 (\\\"`<table><td>` stops at tags TABLE, TBODY, TR, and TD. The TBODY and TR tags do not appear in the original HTML\\\") and incidentally inside create_fragment_at_current_node()'s TABLE-context tree diagram at lines 467-476. Neither get_current_depth() nor next_token() — the methods a table-walk author actually reads — mentions that table sections are synthesized, and none of the depth discussion warns against hard-coding child offsets like `+ 1`/`+ 2`. The get_current_depth() docblock (lines 877-928) repeatedly teaches the robust relative pattern (`>=` from the opener's depth) and even uses \\\"a TD inside a TR inside a TBODY\\\" as an example of arbitrary nesting depth, but never states the actionable corollary: absolute depth offsets to descendants are unreliable because the parser inserts intermediate nodes. Trial-3 read the depth machinery, adopted the relative `< cell_depth` break correctly for its inner loop, yet still hard-coded the outer row depth — precisely the mistake the docs don't explicitly inoculate against.\\n\\nA secondary contributing factor: trial-3 nested a `next_token()` walk loop inside the outer walk loop to read each cell. The next_token() docblock (line 624) explicitly warns against nested walk loops over the single shared cursor and prescribes a flat dispatch loop with state variables. Trials 1 and 2 followed that prescription (flat loop, name/type dispatch, closer-driven flush) and passed 8/8; trial-3 ignored it. Here the nesting alone wasn't fatal — the cursor was managed acceptably — but it compounded the brittleness that the depth misconception exploited.\\n\\nWhat the docs did well: the get_current_depth() and next_token() sections gave two complete, correct subtree-walk recipes (the LI and DT examples) using a flat depth/breadcrumb guard. Both passing trials lifted that pattern almost verbatim and handled every edge case the task probed (empty cells via opener-initialize + closer-flush, decoded entities via get_modifiable_text, multi-#text accumulation for in-cell markup, end-of-input closers for omitted </td>/</tr>). The near-miss in their explanations: both passing subjects credited \\\"HTML Processor generates closing tokens for implicitly closed elements\\\" for the omitted-closer handling (correct) but neither mentioned the implicit TBODY/THEAD layer at all — they survived only because their guards were depth-relative and thus immune to it. The docs never forced that awareness; trial-3 is the trial that paid for the gap.",

It creates a processor in fragment mode, finds the first TABLE element, then walks through all tokens inside the table using next_token(). It tracks state with $in_cell and $current_row flags to accumulate text from #text tokens (via get_modifiable_text() which returns character-decoded text) into cells, and flushes rows when TR closers are encountered. This handles optional closing tags naturally since the HTML Processor generates closing tokens for implicitly closed elements as per the HTML specification.",

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed 8/8 with no _doing_it_wrong or trigger_error records. This task is a near-perfect fit for the documentation. The serialize_token() section (html-processor.md:1040-1069) does the heavy lifting: it explicitly states that walking every token and concatenating serialize_token() reconstructs the normalized serialization, and that the token-by-token form exists precisely \"so that a rewriting loop can transform the document while serializing... or emit extra markup around them to insert wrappers.\" The task (wrap matching #text nodes in <mark>) maps one-to-one onto that documented \"insert wrappers\" use case, and the included example (removing SUP via continue) demonstrates the loop shape. Three further doc facts each prevented a likely failure mode: (1) get_modifiable_text() is documented as DECODED for #text nodes (html-processor.md:2104, html-tag-processor.md:1838 \"&amp; is returned as &\"), so all trials matched the entity-encoded 'w&#111;rld' case without manual decoding; (2) get_token_type() returns the static '#text' for text nodes (html-processor.md:1828), so gating on '#text' correctly excluded attribute values and comment interiors (the keyword-in-attribute and keyword-in-comment cases); (3) the create_fragment example and the class intro steer toward the HTML Processor \"when... producing normalized output,\" securing the optional-tag-closing and &AMP;->&amp; normalization in the normalization-side-effects case. Near-misses worth noting only in the explanations, not behavior: trials 1 and 2 self-reported low confidence (50, 45) despite producing the reference solution, suggesting the docs left them unsure their output was canonical even though it was; and trial-2 added a normalize() fallback for the null branch — a reasonable but unnecessary belt-and-suspenders move that signals mild uncertainty about when create_fragment returns null. None of these affected correctness. The 'split-across-elements-no-match' case (wor<em>ld</em>) passed for all because each #text token ('wor', 'ld') is tested independently — the docs' note that text content may be split across consecutive #text tokens (html-processor.md:618) reinforces that no single token spans the split, though no trial explicitly cited it.",

The 'emit extra markup around them to insert wrappers' use case is mentioned in prose but never shown, even though wrapping is the more common rewriting need. Subjects had to infer that the wrap pattern is `$output .= '<wrapper>' . $processor->serialize_token() . '</wrapper>';`. They got it right here, but a worked wrap example would remove that inference step and make the symmetry with the remove example explicit.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a second short example beside the SUP-removal one showing wrapping a matched token, e.g. concatenating an open tag, serialize_token(), and a close tag around a token that meets a condition. Keep it generic (wrap any matched token), not keyword-specific."

A reader doing element-level (rather than text-level) wrapping might not realize they must wrap around BOTH the opener and the matching closer. A one-line contrast — 'a #text token has no closer, so wrapping one is a single concatenation; wrapping an ELEMENT requires emitting your markup around both its opening and closing tokens' — would generalize the guidance.",

This task was strongly supported by the documentation, which deserves most of the credit.\n\nThe decisive enabler was the set_bookmark() docblock in html-tag-processor.md. Lines 1124 and 1161 spell out the exact pattern this task requires: \"to remember 'the last matching tag' in a single pass, re-set the same bookmark name on every match, then seek to it once after the scan completes\" and \"Setting a bookmark with a name that is already in use MOVES that bookmark to the current location ... Re-setting the same name on every match is the supported idiom for remembering 'the last X seen so far'.\" There is even a worked LI example (lines 1128-1155) structurally identical to the H2 task. All three subjects transcribed this idiom; trial-3 quoted it verbatim. Without this explicit prose, the natural-but-wrong alternative is per-tag bookmark names (last-h2-1, last-h2-2, ...) which the same docblock pre-empts at line 1159 (\"should not be created with programmatically-made names ... like 'li_{$index}'\").\n\nThree other doc facts prevented near-misses: (1) the comment-h2 case passed for free because next_tag() only stops on real tags — the comment-token discussion (lines 301-306) and the fact that the next_tag table never lists comments as matchable made subjects confident that '<!-- <h2>fake</h2> -->' would not be visited (trial-2 and trial-3 reasoned this explicitly). (2) The existing-class case passed because add_class()'s description (line 328) promises whitespace/order-preserving class merging, so subjects trusted add_class('final-section') to append 'outro final-section' rather than overwrite. (3) get_updated_html()'s byte-for-byte guarantee (line 2297) gave subjects confidence the no-heading path returns input unchanged.\n\nThe only sub-optimal-but-correct choice was trial-2's redundant is_tag_closer() guard. The cause is a documentation discoverability gap rather than an error: the tag_closers default ('skip') is buried inside the $query parameter cell of the next_tag() table (lines 952, 2327) rather than stated in the prose, so a careful reader can miss that openers-only matching is already the default and add a defensive guard.

Trial-2 added an unnecessary !is_tag_closer() guard inside its next_tag('h2') loop, indicating the default is easy to miss. Readers who miss it write redundant guards or, worse, assume they must handle closers manually.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to the next_tag() prose: 'By default next_tag() matches only opening tags; closers like </div> are skipped unless you pass tag_closers => \"visit\".'

The Returns line 'Normalized output, or null if unable to normalize' plus the HTML Support section's explicit statement that 'methods which produce output (such as serialize() and normalize()) return null' on unsupported markup directly drove the correct null-guard, which is exactly what makes the misnesting-unsupported-false case return false. The HTML Support section even names the precise unsupported construct in this test, '<b>one<i>two</b>three</i>' mis-nested formatting, so subjects could reason about why that input yields null. The Method Index listing normalize() as 'public static' steered all three to the static one-call form rather than building create_fragment()+serialize() machinery.\n\nNear-misses / lucky inferences in the explanations: (1) None of the trials' explanations, nor the docs, explicitly state that normalize() PRESERVES source attribute ORDER. The 'attribute-order-differs => false' case depends entirely on order being kept (verified: '<a href=\\\"x\\\" id=\\\"y\\\">' and '<a id=\\\"y\\\" href=\\\"x\\\">' normalize to different strings). The docs list which things get canonicalized but never say order among existing source attributes is left untouched; subjects implicitly assumed it and were right. The one explicit ordering note in the docs is the opposite direction, in Tag Processor's set_attribute ('attributes ADDED are sorted by name'), which could mislead a reader into thinking normalize() reorders. (2) The trigger_error from serialize() in the misnesting case never surfaced to the subjects (no source/execution access), so none addressed it; it is harmless internal noise from normalize()'s machinery, not a misuse signal.",

+      "suggestion": "Add one example to the normalize() docblock showing an unsupported input returning null (a mis-nested formatting case is ideal), so callers learn to treat null as 'cannot be represented' and branch on it.

A caller who needs to know WHY normalization failed has no in-context guidance from the normalize() entry; get_last_error()/get_unsupported_exception() are documented far away and only on instances, not reachable from the static normalize() call.",
+      "suggestion": "Cross-reference from normalize()'s Returns note that a null result mirrors the create_fragment()+serialize() path, and that to obtain the failure reason one should build a processor with create_fragment() and inspect get_last_error().

This single example resolved every nontrivial aspect of the task at once: (1) that the structure-aware HTML Processor (not the Tag Processor) is the right tool, established both here and in the class-intro guidance at html-processor.md:81 and html-tag-processor.md:24 ('producing normalized output'); (2) that one bare get_tag() comparison removes both the opener and closer of an element, which is what makes nested-spans and adjacent-spans pass without any depth/bookmark bookkeeping; (3) that serialize_token() yields fully-normalized output, covering the no-spans-passthrough case (&AMP; -> &amp;, implied </p></div> closers) and the unclosed-span case (the processor virtually closes the span, the closer token is visited and skipped, and the </p></div> are emitted). All three subjects transcribed this pattern faithfully.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations (not failures): trial-2 asserts 'normalize() is called implicitly as part of the serialization process.' This is a doc-comprehension slip — normalize() is a distinct static convenience method (html-processor.md:938-988) and serialize_token() does not call it; the two merely share normalization semantics. The prose at html-processor.md:1050 says serialize_token concatenation reconstructs 'the same output that serialize() produces,' which a reader can over-read as 'serialize_token calls serialize/normalize.' Trial-1's explanation references get_token_type() as part of its reasoning and leaves an unused is_tag_closer() read in the code, suggesting it briefly considered the reference's redundant '#tag' guard before settling on the bare get_tag() check; harmless but indicates the docs do not state that get_tag() returns null on non-tag tokens, which is why a token-type guard reads as necessary.\"",

This is the exact fact that makes a single 'SPAN' === get_tag() comparison skip both opener and closer and safely no-op on text. Subjects inferred it correctly only because the serialize_token() example happened to show it; trial-1's leftover is_tag_closer()/get_token_type() reasoning shows the uncertainty.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence and a tiny example to get_tag(): note that the method returns the same uppercase name for a closing tag as for its opener (use is_tag_closer() to distinguish), and returns null for any non-tag token, so 'X' === get_tag() is a safe element-name test that is false on text, comments, and doctype tokens without needing a get_token_type() guard."
+    },

Readers cannot tell that these are independent code paths that merely agree on output.",
+      "suggestion": "State explicitly that serialize_token() normalizes the single current token on its own and does NOT call serialize() or normalize(); the three methods independently produce mutually-consistent normalized output. Clarify that normalize() and serialize() require a fresh, unscanned processor while serialize_token() is the only one usable mid-walk, so a token-dropping/rewriting loop must use serialize_token()."

The example also does not mention that incomplete/unclosed input (a span that runs to end of fragment) is handled because the processor still emits a virtual closer token for the skipped element.",
+      "suggestion": "Cross-link the serialize_token() rewriting example from the next_token() and get_tag() sections (and from normalize()'s 'use serialize_token inside a loop' note). In the example, add a one-line note that elements left unclosed in the input still produce a closer token during the walk, so skipping by tag name remains balanced even for malformed/incomplete fragments — the general fact behind the unclosed-span edge case."

+  "explanation": "The function uses WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment() to parse the HTML fragment with full structural awareness. It then iterates through every token using next_token(), and uses get_tag() to identify SPAN elements. Both opening and closing SPAN tags are skipped (via continue), while all other tokens are serialized using serialize_token(). This approach naturally handles nested spans since each closing tag is visited separately and skipped. The serialize_token() method produces normalized HTML output (double-quoted attributes, canonical text encoding, etc.) as required.",

Subject: [PATCH 041/193] HTML API docs round 14 hypothesis: post-collection
 measurement noted in the recipe.

T05 judges flagged twice that the collect-#text recipe never connects
its output to safe code-point measurement; one trial per round still
hesitates at the mb boundary. Add the decoded-UTF-8/mb_substr note at
the point of accumulation.

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed in any trial: 9/9 pass across all three, with zero _doing_it_wrong and zero hallucinated methods. All three subjects converged on code byte-equivalent to reference.php (differing only in comments/whitespace). The documentation was decisive: the `paused_at_incomplete_token()` section in html-tag-processor.md (lines 1015-1047) does three things that made failure nearly impossible. (1) Its one-line summary states the method reports whether \"the input HTML document ended in the middle of a syntax element, such as in the middle of a tag\" — directly matching the task framing. (2) It carries TWO worked examples: a short one showing false===next_tag() paired with true===paused_at_incomplete_token() on a cut-off attribute (line 1026, which is the same shape as the cut-inside-attribute hidden case), and crucially a longer-document example (lines 1031-1039) spelling out the drain-all-tokens-then-check idiom verbatim — `while ($processor->next_token()) { continue; }` followed by `$was_truncated = $processor->paused_at_incomplete_token();`. The prose at line 1031 explicitly warns that the method \"reports the state at the point scanning stopped... only after the processor has scanned to the end of the input,\" which is the single subtlety that could have tripped subjects (calling the check without first draining). All three followed it exactly. (3) The `next_token()` section (line 972) reinforces the model: \"If it starts parsing a token and reaches the end of the document then it will seek to the start of the last token and pause, returning false.\" This correctly led subjects to treat a false return from next_token at EOF as ambiguous (could be normal end OR incomplete token) and to disambiguate with paused_at_incomplete_token rather than inferring truncation from the loop terminating. The task's three tricky distinctions — lone trailing '<' is text (false), unclosed-but-lexically-complete `<div>text` is false, unterminated SCRIPT is true — were all handled correctly without any subject special-casing them, because they emerge naturally from the lexer's behavior that the docs describe. Near-misses in explanations: none substantive. Trial-2's explanation is the strongest; its only blemish is under-confidence (78 vs identical correct code scoring 92 elsewhere), suggesting the docs, while sufficient to produce the right code, did not fully convince the model it had covered every case — a calibration gap rather than a correctness gap.",

Subjects got these right here only because the lexer happens to behave that way; the docs do not promise it, which is reflected in trial-2's lowered confidence (78) on otherwise-perfect code.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence plus a contrasting example clarifying the boundary: this method reports lexical incompleteness, not structural unclosedness. Show that '<div>text' (unclosed element) and a document ending in a bare '<' (treated as text) both yield false, while '<div class=\"x' and '<!-- unfinished' yield true. This generalizes the lexical-vs-structural distinction beyond any single task."

It does not mention whether the same incomplete-token semantics apply when walking with WP_HTML_Processor::next_token(), nor whether an unterminated raw-text element (SCRIPT/STYLE/TEXTAREA whose contents run to EOF) counts as incomplete. The unterminated-SCRIPT case passed by luck of correct lexer behavior, undocumented here.",
+      "suggestion": "Note explicitly that raw-text elements (SCRIPT, STYLE, TEXTAREA, TITLE) whose closing tag is missing at EOF cause the processor to pause as an incomplete token, and cross-reference that WP_HTML_Processor inherits this method with identical semantics.

All three methods documented; get_last_error() has a dedicated heading and the candidate correctly checks 'null !== get_last_error()' against its 'string|null' signature, navigating the doc's contradictory prose that says it 'will return false in all those cases' (30/30). Slightly less idiomatic: the get_last_error() branch is effectively dead logic — both the null-with-error and null-without-error paths return false, so the extra check adds no behavior and signals mild uncertainty about why serialize() returns null (20/25). Edge handling correct via the documented null contract (12/15). Passed 7/7. The extra defensiveness traces to the docs not stating plainly that a non-null serialize() return already means normalization succeeded and null already means it failed."

+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed in any trial: all three trials passed 7/7. The documentation was highly effective for this task. The decisive passage is the class overview at html-processor.md line 84 ('When this happens, get_last_error() returns a non-null value ... methods which produce output (such as serialize() and normalize()) return null'), reinforced by the lines 83/86-88 'abort early and stop all processing' description of unsupported markup. This directly mapped the task's 'return false for unsupported misnesting' to the null return of normalize()/serialize(). The normalize() and serialize() method docblocks (lines 940-990, 992-1040) seal it with explicit 'string|null - ... null if unable to normalize' Returns lines, and the malformed-but-supported normalize() examples ('<div></p>fun<table><td>cell</div>' normalizing successfully, lines 971-972) told subjects that unclosed tags and ad-hoc tables normalize fine, matching the task's unclosed-true and well-formed-table-true cases. All three subjects converged on a correct mental model; none hallucinated.\\n\\nNear-misses in the explanations: (1) Trial-3's explanation claims get_last_error() must be consulted to distinguish unsupported markup, but in practice the null return alone is sufficient — its own code proves this since both null branches return false. This reflects the get_last_error() docblock's confusing line 530 ('this class will return false in all those cases'), which conflicts with the actual 'string|null' signature and could have misled a weaker subject into checking '=== false' and breaking the function. (2) Trials 2 and 3 reached for the two-step create_fragment()+serialize() form when the single static normalize() helper is the documented idiom for a default BODY-context fragment; the normalize() docblock frames the two-step path as being for 'full documents or fragments found in other contexts' (line 949), so subjects slightly over-engineered, though without harm. (3) None of the explanations mentioned that the empty-string input ('' -> true) is handled — an edge the docs never explicitly address; all subjects got it right by trusting the null contract rather than by documented evidence.\"",

The 'return false' prose contradicts the actual return type and risks a subject writing 'false === get_last_error()' or treating a falsy check as the success signal. Trial-3 navigated this only by checking 'null !==', which the prose does not justify.",

Subjects inferred it correctly from the general null contract, but a concrete entry would make the failure boundary unambiguous.",

+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed 7/7. The docs were sufficient for functional success here because the HTML Processor does the namespace-aware tree construction transparently: create_fragment in BODY context plus next_tag('img') already yields exactly the HTML-namespace IMG elements, correctly handling all three tricky cases — HTML <image> coerced to IMG (image-tag-becomes-img), <img> breaking out of <svg> into the HTML namespace (img-inside-svg-breaks-out), and SVG <image> staying IMAGE/svg and therefore never matching next_tag('img') (svg-image-excluded, mixed-document). The reference solution proves no namespace check is needed.\\n\\nThe instructive finding is a shared near-miss / misconception present in all three trials, masked by the test suite:\\n\\n1) Redundant namespace guard from a misunderstanding of how next_tag matches across namespaces. All three subjects added a get_namespace()==='html' filter believing it is what excludes the SVG <image>. Probing shows otherwise: next_tag('img') matches by the processor's normalized/coerced tag name, and the SVG <image> registers as tag IMAGE in the svg namespace, so it is never matched in the first place — the guard is dead code. The root cause is documentation: html-processor.md:1748 (get_tag) says only that 'certain tags be reprocessed with a different tag name' due to 'semantic rules,' but never gives the concrete <image>→IMG example, never states that this coercion is namespace-conditional (HTML <image>→IMG but SVG <image> stays IMAGE), and crucially never states that next_tag()'s tag_name query matches against the coerced HTML-Processor tag name rather than the source spelling. Lacking this, subjects could not reason that next_tag('img') is already namespace-correct, so they defensively re-filtered. Harmless here, but it signals the docs leave the matching semantics in foreign content underspecified.\\n\\n2) Boolean-attribute edge case mishandled in the src filter. The task says to skip images 'whose src has no value.' For a valueless boolean attribute (<img src>), get_attribute returns true — documented at html-tag-processor.md:1505 ('Boolean attributes return true') and example line 1483. All three subjects guarded with null !== $src && '' !== $src, which lets true through and would append a non-string boolean to the results, whereas the reference uses is_string($src). This did not surface because the hidden suite contains no boolean-src case (no-src-skipped only covers a fully missing attribute). The docs do disclose the true return, so this is a subject-side oversight rather than a doc absence — but the docs could make the consequence harder to miss by showing the is_string() / true distinction in a 'reading a value attribute' example.\\n\\nSummary: docs did well enough for correctness via the processor's transparent namespace handling, but two passages (get_tag/next_tag coercion semantics, and get_attribute's true return in filtering) left enough ambiguity that all three subjects wrote a redundant guard and an imprecise value check that a stricter test suite would have penalized.",

All three subjects therefore did not realize next_tag('img') already returns exactly HTML-namespace IMG elements, and each added a redundant get_namespace() guard.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short, generalizable note plus one example to get_tag(): e.g. in the HTML namespace the source tag <image> is reprocessed to IMG, while inside <svg> an <image> stays IMAGE in the svg namespace, and an <img> placed inside <svg> breaks out into the HTML namespace.

This is the single most likely place a weaker model would hallucinate, and the table pre-empted it.\n- The 'tag_name ... Matching is ASCII case-insensitive' note in the $query param block (L952) directly covered the uppercase-tag case; no trial second-guessed it.\n- add_class() (L2231) precisely specifies append-after-existing, never-reorder, never-re-space, and no-op-on-duplicate. This covered both the existing-classes case and the no-duplicate guarantee; trial-2 even paraphrased it correctly.\n- L939 ('Only real HTML tags can match. Tag-like text inside comments ... is never matched or modified') covered inside-comment-ignored. L328/L2298 (unquoted/single-quoted attributes keep original bytes, only written attributes are re-emitted double-quoted) covered unquoted-attributes. The __construct examples around incomplete input (L105, L1026) plus get_updated_html's byte-exact guarantee (L2297) covered incomplete-tag-at-end. Every hidden edge case maps to an explicit documented guarantee.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: trial-3's phrasing 'manages class attribute updates efficiently' is the weakest articulation but is not wrong. No explanation overclaimed: notably none asserted that add_class would reorder or dedupe in a way the docs contradict.\n\nNet: this task does not exercise any documentation gap. It is a clean positive control confirming the tag-processor doc's next_tag/add_class/get_updated_html surface is unambiguous enough for low-capability models to reproduce the canonical pattern.",

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed in any trial: all three trials passed 8/8 with no _doing_it_wrong records. The documentation supported this task well. The decisive passages:\n\n- get_attribute return semantics (html-tag-processor.md, `get_attribute()` heading, lines 1469-1505, plus the secondary note at line 89): the docs explicitly state null for absent attributes, `\\\"\\\"` for present-but-empty, and `true` for boolean/valueless attributes, with a worked example (`enabled === true`, `aria-label === null`). This is exactly what the task hinged on -- counting href=\\\"\\\" and bare <a href> as present while skipping a missing href. All three candidates cited these semantics correctly in their explanations.\n- next_tag ASCII case-insensitive tag matching (line 952 `$tag_name ... Matching is ASCII case-insensitive`) is why the uppercase-attribute and HREF cases worked even though candidates queried lowercase 'a' / 'href'. None of the candidates explicitly reasoned about case-insensitivity, but the default behavior covered them -- a near-miss only in that the explanations don't mention it.\n- set_attribute overwrite (line 156: \\\"If set_attribute() is called for an existing attribute it will overwrite\\\") covered the existing-target-overwritten case; trials 1 and 2 named this explicitly.\n- get_updated_html byte-for-byte preservation (lines 2289-2297: \\\"Every byte the updates did not touch is returned exactly as it appeared\\\") covered the inside-comment-ignored and nested-markup cases. The Tag Processor naturally skips comment contents (it only stops on real tags), so the commented-out <a href> was untouched; the docs don't spell out comment-skipping at the conceptual level, but the candidates' reliance on next_tag only visiting real tags was sound and the preservation guarantee made the expectation predictable.\n\nThe only genuine near-miss is trial-3's redundant `|| true === get_attribute('href')` clause. It is dead code and double-evaluates, but does not change behavior. It signals that the doc's statement \\\"Boolean attributes return true\\\" (line 1505) and the null-vs-empty note (line 89) are in two separate places, so a less-careful reader can fail to connect that `null !== $x` already admits the `true` case and writes a defensive belt-and-suspenders condition.

A reader checking only \"is this attribute present?\" can fail to see that all three present-forms (non-empty string, \"\", and true) are simultaneously non-null, leading to redundant or over-defensive presence checks (observed in trial-3's dead `|| true === get_attribute(...)` clause).",

This is a clean success driven almost entirely by the documentation already containing the exact pattern this task requires.\n\nWhat the docs did well (html-processor.md, next_token() section, lines 606-676):\n- The depth-bounded text-collection recipe is presented as a complete worked example (collect first LI's text, lines 651-671) that maps one-to-one onto get_first_h1_text. All three subjects transplanted it from LI to H1.\n- The `>=` vs `>` subtlety (lines 668-670) is called out explicitly with the failure it prevents (dropping trailing text after a nested closer like </strong>). This directly protects nested-markup and nested-in-div. Trial-3 used `>=` verbatim; trials 1/2 independently used the strict `<` break, which is the correct complement.\n- The unclosed-input guarantee (line 616: \\\"Walking code can rely on seeing a closer for every opener even in malformed input\\\") and the example comment (lines 664-666) cover the unclosed-h1 case — the parser synthesizes the closing tokens so the depth guard still terminates correctly.\n- The empty-region note (line 647: an empty element produces opener and closer back-to-back with no #text, recording an empty string) plus the function's `$text = ''` initialization covers image-only-empty-string and the spec's empty-string-not-null requirement.\n- Entity decoding: get_modifiable_text()'s example in html-tag-processor.md (line 1846: `'Fish & Chips' === get_modifiable_text()`) demonstrates automatic character-reference decoding, covering entities-decoded. Trials 2 and 3 explicitly cited this in their explanations.\n- Processor selection: the Tag Processor doc states plainly (html-tag-processor.md:20) that get_current_depth() and get_breadcrumbs() \\\"do not exist on this class — they belong to WP_HTML_Processor.\\\" This steers all subjects to the correct processor; none attempted the structure-blind Tag Processor.\n\nNear-misses in explanations: none substantive. Trial-1's only gap is the missing create_fragment null-return guard, which the docs do surface (the signature `static|null` at line 351 and the no-h1 example). It did not cause a failure because none of the test inputs trigger a null return, but it is the one documented edge case trial-1 left unhandled. Confidence calibration was reasonable (78/92/92), with trial-1 appropriately lower given the omitted guard.",

+      "suggestion": "Add an explicit `if ( null === $processor ) { return; }` (or early-return) line to at least one of the canonical walk examples, and a one-sentence note in create_fragment() listing concrete conditions that yield null (unsupported encoding, certain context arguments) so the guard reads as load-bearing rather than ceremonial."

That strict-`<` break is the correct complement of `>=`, but the docs never state the equivalence, so a subject could plausibly write `if ( depth <= anchor ) break;` (the wrong complement of `>`) and silently truncate — the exact bug the `>=` note warns about, just relocated to the break form.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence noting the two equivalent termination forms: the inline guard `next_token() && get_current_depth() >= $anchor` and the separate `if ( get_current_depth() < $anchor ) break;`, emphasizing that the break must use strict `<` (not `<=`) to mirror the `>=` guard.

Slightly less crisp than the documented recipe, which goes straight to the token walk. No misuse, no doing_it_wrong, passed 6/6. Lower self-reported confidence (75) reflects the subject's own uncertainty about the extra step. Small idiom deduction only."
+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed all 6 cases (simple, ampersand-in-caption, quotes-in-alt, angle-brackets-in-caption, unicode, html-in-caption-not-parsed). There are no doing_it_wrong or trigger_error records in any execution.json.\n\nWhy the docs succeeded here: this task is the canonical use-case the Tag Processor doc was written to cover, and the doc spells out every step the subjects needed.\n\n1. Processor choice was unambiguous. The intro and the next_tag/set_attribute/set_modifiable_text sections all frame the Tag Processor as the tool for setting attribute values and text on a known markup shape; no subject reached for the HTML Processor.\n\n2. The 'build markup from a template' recipe (html-tag-processor.md lines 160-180) directly pre-empted the two traps in this task: (a) line 162 states attributes ADDED to a tag are sorted by name, not call order, so authors must put src/alt in the literal template to preserve order — every subject did exactly that and passed quotes-in-alt with correct attribute order; (b) lines 164 and 1878 explain that an empty element like <figcaption></figcaption> has no #text token for set_modifiable_text to replace, and that you must include placeholder text and replace it — every subject used the '.' placeholder and the #text walk.\n\n3. Encoding correctness (the ampersand, quotes, angle-bracket, and script cases) was guaranteed by set_attribute and set_modifiable_text's documented 'provide normal, unescaped values; the API encodes them' contract (lines 1914-1924 and 2135-2144, plus the worked examples showing 'Eggs & Milk' -> 'Eggs &amp; Milk'). The html-in-caption-not-parsed case passed because set_modifiable_text encodes < and > as character references rather than parsing them — consistent with the doc's framing of modifiable text as plaintext.\n\n4. Unicode passed trivially because the API does no normalization (line 2297: untouched bytes returned verbatim) and the doc's note that returned/handled strings are UTF-8 (line 1838) set the right expectation.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: all three response.json explanations are accurate and cite the right mechanisms (set_attribute encoding, set_modifiable_text encoding, attribute order from the template, placeholder text). The only slightly loose claim is trial-1/trial-2 asserting set_attribute 'handles special characters automatically' without noting the documented caveat that it does NOT decode already-encoded input (lines 1923-1924 show '&amp;' becomes '&amp;amp;') — not relevant to these inputs since they are plain unescaped strings, so no failure resulted. Trial-3's extra next_tag('figcaption') step is a stylistic near-miss, not a correctness one.",

+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::set_modifiable_text() and the 'build markup from a template' recipe (html-tag-processor.md ~lines 160-180, 1864-1924)",
+      "problem": "The doc shows the #text-replacement pattern via a while(next_token()) loop that breaks on the first #text node, but never states the return-value contract concretely for the common 'walk to a known child text node' case. set_modifiable_text returns false (and no-ops) when matched on a container tag like FIGCAPTION (documented at line 1876), yet the recipe example does not show checking that return value, so subjects learn to trust an unguarded loop. This happened to be safe here but is fragile when a template has multiple text-bearing tokens.",
+      "suggestion": "In the template recipe, add one sentence and a guard in the example: after locating the target element, advance to its #text child and assert the set_modifiable_text() return value (e.g. 'if false, you matched a container tag, not its text node'). This generalizes the line-1876 caveat into the recipe where authors copy from."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "Template recipe / next_token walking (html-tag-processor.md ~lines 160-180, 250-300)",
+      "problem": "The recipe shows next_token() walking from the start of the document to find a #text node but does not address how to scope the search to a SPECIFIC element's text when a fragment contains several text nodes (here there was effectively one, so an unscoped loop worked for all subjects). Trial-3 intuited a next_tag('figcaption') guard but the docs give no blessed pattern for 'set the text of THIS element', leaving authors to guess between an unscoped token loop and an ad-hoc tag guard.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short generalizable note/example: to target a particular element's text, first next_tag() to that element, then advance with next_token() and stop at the first '#text' token (optionally bounded so you do not run past the element). This would have made trial-3's approach the documented norm rather than an improvised extra step."

+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::set_attribute() (html-tag-processor.md ~lines 2127-2188)",
+      "problem": "Two trial explanations described set_attribute as handling special characters 'automatically' without distinguishing plain input from already-encoded input. The doc DOES show the double-encoding example (lines 2142-2148: '&amp;' becomes '&amp;amp;') but it lives in the example block; the prose contract 'accepts plain, unescaped values' is easy to skim past. No failure here because inputs were plain, but the misconception (that set_attribute is idempotent over encoded entities) is latent.",
+      "suggestion": "Add an explicit one-line warning in the set_attribute description prose (not only in the example): 'Pass decoded/plaintext values only. This method does not detect already-encoded input; passing \"&amp;\" yields \"&amp;amp;\".' Mirror the same line on set_modifiable_text. This is a general correctness fact independent of this task."

(lines 18-24) says use the HTML Processor for 'collecting an element's text content'. It passes here only by coincidence of the test set: I verified the two processors diverge on foster-parented table text (`<table>foster<tr><td>cell` => Tag Processor 'fostercell' vs HTML Processor '' — the reference uses the HTML Processor), and no hidden case exercises that. Script exclusion 'works' for a different reason than on the HTML Processor: with the Tag Processor, SCRIPT content is reported as token type `#tag` carrying modifiable text on the opener (verified), so the `#text` filter drops it. The candidate's explanation does not acknowledge any of this structural fragility. Docked on processor-choice and on edge-case robustness."

The analysis below covers near-misses and what the documentation did well, per the rubric's \"if all passed\" branch.\n\nWHAT THE DOCS DID WELL (and which case each enabled):\n- entities-count-decoded / accented / multibyte-emoji: The `get_modifiable_text()` docblock (tag-processor.md line 1838) is the decisive passage. It states the returned text is already decoded (\"`&amp;` is returned as `&`. Do not decode the returned string again\"), is UTF-8, and that code-point measuring/slicing must pass an explicit encoding (\"`mb_strlen( $text, 'UTF-8' )`\"), with a worked `'Fish & Chips'` example (line 1846). All three trials used `mb_substr`/`mb_strlen` with `'UTF-8'` and none double-decoded — a direct, traceable consequence of this docblock. This is the single highest-value passage for this task.\n- script-excluded: For trials 2/3, the `next_token()` docblock (html-processor.md lines 620-622) explicitly states SCRIPT/STYLE/TITLE/TEXTAREA produce NO `#text` child tokens, so the collect-`#text` recipe naturally excludes script bodies. The subjects correctly relied on this. For trial-1 (Tag Processor) the exclusion also happens, but for a documented-yet-different reason: the SCRIPT opener token has type `#tag` and carries the script body as its modifiable text (tag-processor.md lines 280-293), so a `#text` filter skips it. I verified both behaviors empirically.\n- malformed-nesting / interelement-whitespace: The next_token docblock's guarantee that the HTML Processor visits a closer for every opener even in malformed input (line 616) and reports text in document order made the in-order concatenation safe for trials 2/3. The Tag Processor (trial-1) also surfaces every `#text` in source order on these particular inputs, so it passed too.\n- zero-limit: Pure task-spec logic; all three short-circuited `<= 0`. Not doc-dependent.\n\nNEAR-MISSES / LATENT RISK:\n- Trial-1's processor choice is the only real weakness across the suite. It is correct on all 9 cases but fragile: I confirmed the Tag Processor and HTML Processor produce different text for foster-parented table content (`<table>foster<tr><td>cell</td></tr></table>` => Tag 'fostercell' vs Processor ''; reference uses the HTML Processor). The \"Which processor should I use?\" guidance (tag-processor.md lines 18-24) correctly names \"collecting an element's text content\" as an HTML-Processor job, but the subject still reached for the Tag Processor. The guidance is present; the subject did not weight it. This is a documentation-salience gap rather than a missing fact — see doc_gaps.\n- Trials 2/3 both reimplemented per-node code-point accounting instead of the simpler accumulate-then-`mb_substr` used by the reference. No correctness impact, but the docs offer no canonical \"truncate by code points\" pattern, so the subjects invented slightly heavier logic. Minor.",

Subjects who chose the HTML Processor (trials 2/3) had to infer decoding/encoding semantics from the sibling class.

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed in any trial: all three trials passed all 8 cases (24/24) with zero _doing_it_wrong or trigger_error records. The documentation succeeded decisively for this task, and the success is directly traceable to specific, recently-strengthened passages.\n\nWhat the docs did well:\n1. Processor selection. The \\\"Which processor should I use?\\\" / \\\"HTML Support\\\" sections (html-tag-processor.md L18-24; html-processor.md L74-92) state plainly that collecting an element's text content and walking a subtree require the HTML Processor, and that the Tag Processor has no depth/breadcrumbs. All three subjects correctly chose WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment rather than the Tag Processor. This is the single most consequential decision and the docs steered it unambiguously.\n2. The depth-bounded subtree walk. This is the crux of the task and the docs over-deliver: the next_token() docblock (L606-676) and get_current_depth() docblock (L871-930) both carry a worked LI-text-collection example that is nearly the reference solution, and both repeatedly hammer the `>=` vs `>` guard distinction with the exact rationale (a child closer reports a depth equal to the matched ancestor's opening-token depth). All three subjects used `>=` correctly — the most likely failure mode (the simple case, the entities-in-text case, and especially nested-markup cases like `<a><em>second</em> link</a>`) was pre-empted by this emphasis. Trial-2 even adopted the alternate break-condition phrasing verbatim.\n3. Implicit/virtual closers for malformed input. The unclosed-link case (`<a href=\\\"/x\\\">runs to the end`) passed in all trials because next_token() docs (L616: \\\"a walk visits ... elements left unclosed at the end of the input\\\") and get_current_depth() guarantee a closer is synthesized. Subjects did not special-case truncation and were correct not to.\n4. Attribute null/true/decoded semantics. get_attribute() docs (L1490-1491 tag-processor; L1850+ html-processor) and the Returns line (\\\"Boolean attributes return true\\\") directly produced the correct valueless-href (true) and entity-in-href (decoded) behavior, plus the null-means-absent skip for the no-href case.\n5. The empty-text / atomic-element trap was avoided. The image-link case (`<a href=\\\"/img\\\"><img ...></a>`) yields no #text tokens, so the accumulator stays ''. The next_token() docs L620-622 explicitly warn that SCRIPT/STYLE/TITLE/TEXTAREA carry text on the element token and produce no #text children — not directly the IMG case, but the same mental model (walk collects #text, absence yields empty string) led to the correct result.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations (not in code): subjects' self-reported confidence (72/75/82) was lower than warranted given the docs essentially contained the solution; this suggests the depth-walk, while correct, still felt non-obvious to a less-capable model and the doc's heavy `>=` warnings were doing real work to prevent a slip. No subject mentioned the atomic-element (SCRIPT/STYLE) exception in their reasoning, so had a test fed link text inside a TEXTAREA-like context the recipe could have silently returned '' — none did, so this remained a latent rather than realized gap.",
+  "doc_gaps": [
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment() (html-processor.md, \"Returns\" line)",
+      "problem": "The Returns line says \"The created processor if successful, otherwise null\" but the surrounding usage examples never show the guard. Two of three subjects wrote the documented `null === $processor` check; one fell back to a falsiness check (`! $processor`). The docblock does not model the null-guard at the call site, so subjects inferred the idiom rather than copying it.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a one-line example to the create_fragment docblock showing the canonical guard, e.g. `$p = WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment( $html ); if ( null === $p ) { return; }`. This generalizes to every create_fragment caller and removes ambiguity about whether to test `null ===` vs falsiness (relevant because a valid processor object is always truthy, but explicitness is the house style)."

+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::next_token() (html-processor.md, \"collect-#text-tokens recipe\" / atomic-element exception, L620-622)",

It does not state the complementary fact that a void/empty descendant (like IMG) inside the walked element simply contributes no #text, so the accumulator correctly stays empty. A subject reasoning about the image-link case has to infer this; the docs only warn about the case where text is hidden, not the case where there is legitimately none.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a sentence to the collect-text recipe noting that elements with no text content (void elements such as IMG, or empty elements) contribute no #text tokens, so the accumulated string is correctly empty — distinguishing 'genuinely empty' from the 'text hidden on the element token' trap already documented.

This task is a near-canonical match for the WP_HTML_Processor breadcrumb pattern, and the docs supported it well enough that all three subjects converged on essentially the reference solution.\n\nWhat the docs did well (the passages that prevented failure):\n1. Processor selection. html-processor.md line 81 (\"adds full structural awareness: nesting depth, ancestor breadcrumbs... Choose it whenever document STRUCTURE matters — containment checks\") plus the explicit negative signpost in html-tag-processor.md line 20 (\"get_current_depth() and get_breadcrumbs() do not exist on this class — they belong to WP_HTML_Processor\") steered every subject to the correct class. This is the single highest-leverage passage for this task.\n2. Breadcrumb semantics. The get_breadcrumbs section (html-processor.md lines 844-861), especially \"They always include the entire path from the root HTML node to the matched element\" with the concrete example array('HTML','BODY','P','STRONG','EM','IMG'), made the in_array('BLOCKQUOTE', ...) containment check obvious and unambiguous. The note at lines 54-56 about implicit HTML/BODY in fragment breadcrumbs reinforced that the chain is complete from root, which is exactly what an \"ancestor anywhere above\" check needs.\n3. add_class / get_updated_html flow. html-processor.md lines 1070-1071 and html-tag-processor.md lines 2289-2297 clearly establish that queued class edits are read back via get_updated_html (not serialize), with byte-exact preservation of untouched input — directly satisfying the task's \"preserved byte-for-byte\" requirement and the existing-class-preserved / outside-untouched test cases.\n4. The implicitly-closed-paragraphs and nested-blockquotes cases (the trickiest, since they depend on the parser correctly synthesizing tree structure for unclosed <p> and reporting nested BLOCKQUOTE in breadcrumbs) passed for free precisely because subjects relied on get_breadcrumbs rather than trying to track ancestry manually with the Tag Processor.\n\nNear-misses in approach (not failures, but worth noting):\n- All three subjects checked the FULL breadcrumb array including the matched P, whereas the reference slices the matched node off (array_slice(...,0,-1)) to check strictly-ancestors. This is safe only because the matched node is always a P and the sought ancestor is BLOCKQUOTE, so a node can never match itself. A subject solving a \"does element X have an ancestor of the SAME tag\" variant with this pattern would get a false positive. The docs never state whether the matched node is included in get_breadcrumbs in a way that flags this self-match hazard — the example shows IMG (the matched node) as the last element, which is correct, but no prose warns \"the matched node itself is the last breadcrumb; exclude it for strict-ancestor checks.\"\n- Trial-3's lowercase 'p' query combined with an uppercase 'BLOCKQUOTE' literal works because of documented-elsewhere case normalization, but the docs near next_tag/get_breadcrumbs don't co-locate the fact that queries are case-insensitive while breadcrumb return values are always uppercase. A subject could plausibly write in_array('blockquote', ...) and silently fail.",

For 'does element X have an ancestor of tag Y' checks, a naive in_array(Y, get_breadcrumbs()) gives a false positive when Y == X's own tag (e.g. a P inside a P, or finding whether a DIV is nested in another DIV). Three subjects here used the full array and were saved only because the sought ancestor (BLOCKQUOTE) differs from the matched tag (P).",

Trial-3 mixed lowercase query with uppercase comparison and happened to get the comparison casing right.",

Uses a nested inner loop to collect cell text, gated by depth, which correctly captures text in nested markup (verified via probe: nested <b> text is depth > cell depth). Edge cases handled: null processor guard, no-table returns array(), empty cell yields '' (cell_text initialized to ''), entities decoded and markup stripped via get_modifiable_text.

Relies on `! empty( $row )` to skip empty rows (same minor caveat as trial-1, untested). Edge cases otherwise fine: '' cell init, entity decode, markup-stripping, no-table guard, depth break to stop at first table only.

Handles the omitted-closer / unclosed-trailing-TR case explicitly with a post-loop flush of $current_row, and correctly accumulates into cell_text only when null !== $cell_text so empty cells produce ''.

This is a clean sweep, so the analysis is about what the docs did well and the near-misses.\n\nWhat the docs got right (and why every subject succeeded where this task is normally a trap):\n- The implied-TBODY hazard is the single biggest gotcha for table extraction (a TABLE>TR walk that keys on absolute child depth breaks because the parser synthesizes TABLE>TBODY>TR). The html-processor.md next_token section (line 618) calls this out by name — \\\"the rows of `<table><tr>…` are visited inside a synthesized TBODY (TABLE > TBODY > TR)\\\" — and tells the reader to anchor on the depth recorded at the matched element rather than absolute numbers. Every subject anchored on `$table_depth = get_current_depth()` after matching TABLE and never assumed a fixed nesting level, so thead-tbody and the synthesized-tbody structure passed. This passage did the heavy lifting.\n- The `>=` vs `>` guard subtlety is exhaustively documented in the get_current_depth section (lines 881-884, 920-930), including the exact equality case ('a TD inside a TR inside a TBODY always reports a depth greater than the container's') and the break-condition form (`break` when depth `< $depth`). Trials 1 and 3 used the break form (`< $table_depth`) and trial 2 used it too; none used a `>` guard that would truncate. The omitted-closers and first-table-only cases depend on this and all passed.\n- next_token's warning that it 'does not stop when the element matched by an earlier next_tag() call ends' (line 624) directly produced the first-table-only correctness: all three bound the walk and break before the second table.\n- get_modifiable_text returning decoded text drove entities-in-cells (`Fish &amp; Chips` -> `Fish & Chips`) and the markup-contributes-nothing behavior of markup-in-cells, because text is only accumulated on #text tokens and tag tokens carry empty modifiable text (probe-confirmed).\n- get_token_type's documented value list including `#text` (line 1826+) made trials 1 and 3's `get_token_type()==='#text'` valid, while the reference's `get_token_name()==='#text'` is equally valid; the docs document both methods returning '#text' so neither path was a guess.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations (no functional impact): All three explanations correctly credit 'the HTML Processor's structural awareness' / implicit TBODY for the omitted-tag handling, which is accurate. Trials 1 and 2 both gate row emission on `! empty( $current_row )`; their explanations don't mention that this would silently drop an all-empty-cell row whose </tr> is omitted — an untested edge the docs don't surface, so the subjects had no reason to consider it. Trial 3 avoids this by always flushing a started row, matching the reference's state-machine approach more faithfully.\"",

It tracks row and cell boundaries using depth comparison (comparing current_depth to the recorded table depth). For each TD/TH cell, it collects all #text token content by recursively reading tokens while staying within the cell's depth. Rows are saved when TR closers are encountered. The processor's built-in semantic handling correctly manages missing closing tags and tbody/thead elements per HTML5 rules.",

It creates a fragment parser, finds the first TABLE, then walks through all tokens within the table using nested loops: an outer loop processes rows (TR), an inner loop collects cells (TD/TH) within each row, and an innermost operation collects text from #text tokens within each cell. The depth-based approach ensures we capture exactly the tokens we need and stop at the right boundaries, handling both closing tags and nested elements correctly.",

The documentation deserves the credit, and the analysis below covers what the docs did well plus near-misses in the subjects' reasoning.\n\nWhy everything passed: this task is the canonical use case for serialize_token(), and html-processor.md documents that pattern almost verbatim. The serialize_token() docblock (html-processor.md:1042-1068) states explicitly that \"Walking every token with next_token and concatenating serialize_token() ... reconstructs the normalized serialization\" and that \"a rewriting loop can ... emit extra markup around them to insert wrappers.\" Its worked example (remove every SUP, keep contents) is structurally isomorphic to mark_keyword — only the predicate and the wrap-vs-skip action differ. All three subjects reproduced this loop precisely.\n\nThe three trickier cases were each pre-empted by a specific passage:\n- entity-encoded-keyword-matches (w&#111;rld matches \"world\"): get_modifiable_text() (html-processor.md:2106) states for #text nodes \"the returned text is DECODED: character references have been replaced by the characters they represent.\" Every subject matched against the decoded string and got this right.\n- keyword-in-attribute / keyword-in-comment not wrapped: get_token_type() (html-processor.md:1816-1840) enumerates the exact token strings, so gating on '#text' naturally excludes attribute values and #comment tokens. All three gated correctly.\n- normalization-side-effects (unclosed <b>/<p>, &AMP; -> &amp;): handled implicitly because serialize_token() produces \"fully-normative HTML\" for each token; subjects did nothing special and the normalization fell out for free, exactly as the docblock promises.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations / code (no functional impact, but worth noting):\n- Null-processor contract is undocumented, producing divergent guesses: trial-1 and trial-3 return '' (matching the reference), trial-2 returns the raw $html. No case exercises a null processor, so this never surfaced, but it shows the docs leave the failure contract for callers to invent.\n- trial-3 added a post-walk get_last_error() guard that returns '' on error. Probing confirmed get_last_error() stays null for the malformed fragments in this suite (normalization of unclosed tags is not an \"error\"), so it never fired. But the docs (get_last_error at html-processor.md:84/522 and the Unsupported-Exception notes) don't clearly tell a token-walking author whether/when to check get_last_error mid- or post-walk, or what to do with a partially-built output — which is why one subject bolted on a defensive check that would discard good output on genuinely unsupported input.\n- All explanations correctly attributed normalization to serialize_token(); none confused it with get_updated_html(), which the docblock pointedly warns against (html-processor.md:1070-1071) — the disambiguation paragraph did its job.",

But it is anti-idiomatic in exactly the way the docs warn against: it generates programmatic bookmark names with uniqid() ('last_h2_' . uniqid()), which the set_bookmark() docblock and Bookmarks section explicitly tell you NOT to do ('avoid creating mark_{$index}', 'should only be created with string-literal names'). The documented idiom — re-set ONE literal name on each match — is simpler and is precisely what this task wanted. The manual release/track dance plus the redundant $found_any_h2 flag and seek() return-check add complexity for no benefit (idiomatic 13/25).

The docs were highly effective for this task; the analysis below covers what the docs did well and the one near-miss.\\n\\nWhat the docs did well: The set_bookmark() docblock in html-tag-processor.md is the decisive passage. It contains an explicit worked example (the UL/last-li loop) and a prose paragraph stating that 're-set the same bookmark name on every match, then seek to it once after the scan completes (re-setting a name moves the bookmark)' and that 'Setting a bookmark with a name that is already in use MOVES that bookmark... Re-setting the same name on every match is the supported idiom for remembering the last X seen so far.' This is exactly the 'mark the last H2' problem. Trials 1 and 2 lifted that idiom directly, which is why they are clean and correct. The 'Which processor should I use?' section steered all three to the Tag Processor correctly (flat attribute edit, byte preservation) and away from the HTML Processor. The add_class() examples (idempotent, whitespace/order-preserving, removes class attribute when emptied) explain why the existing-class case ('outro' -> 'outro final-section') and the no-attribute case both serialize correctly. next_tag()'s 'What this matches' bullets ('Only real HTML tags can match. Tag-like text inside comments... is text, not tags, and is never matched') directly explain the comment-h2-not-counted pass without the subject needing to special-case comments.\\n\\nNear-miss (trial-3): The subject understood the goal but did not internalize the bookmark-naming guidance. It generated uniqid()-based names and manually released the prior bookmark each loop. This still passed only because the manual release keeps exactly one bookmark alive, so the (undocumented-by-number) bookmark cap is never approached. Had the subject NOT released each iteration — a plausible misreading — it would have allocated one bookmark per H2 and could have hit the bookmark limit on large documents (the task explicitly warns 'The document may be large and may contain many H2 tags'). The responsible passage is the same set_bookmark() docblock: the anti-pattern warning ('avoid creating mark_{$index}', 'string-literal names') and the 'moves the bookmark' idiom are present, but they are buried deep in a long docblock after the worked UL example, and the explicit failure consequence (what happens when you exceed the bookmark budget) is described only abstractly ('Because bookmarks allocate memory... they are limited') without naming the ERROR_EXCEEDED_MAX_BOOKMARKS outcome or a concrete number. A subject skimming the example but not the prose can miss the naming rule entirely, which is what trial-3 did.\"}",

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials pass 9/9, and all three are functionally identical to reference.php (WP_HTML_Processor::normalize() on each input, return false if either is null, else strict === comparison). The documentation did the heavy lifting here. The single most important passage, html-processor.md's normalize() section, is a near-perfect match to the task: it states the method 'Normalizes an HTML fragment by serializing it,' assumes BODY context (matching the task's '<body> fragment' framing), enumerates exactly the equivalences the task tests (attribute values double-quoted, duplicate attributes removed, omitted tags added, tag/attribute casing lower-cased, text re-encoded and character references handled), and documents the null return 'if unable to normalize.' That enumeration maps one-to-one onto the passing positive cases (quoting-styles, implied-closers, tag-case, entity-spellings, whitespace-in-tag) and the null-return clause covers misnesting-unsupported-false. The 'HTML Support' section (html-processor.md line 84) reinforces the contract: on unsupported markup, get_last_error() is non-null and 'methods which produce output (such as serialize() and normalize()) return null' — which is precisely why returning false on null is correct for the mis-nesting case. The 'Which processor should I use?' guidance in html-tag-processor.md (lines 18-24) steered subjects away from the Tag Processor toward the HTML Processor for 'producing normalized output,' preventing the plausible wrong path of byte-comparing two Tag Processor outputs (which would fail on quoting/case/implied-closer normalization). Only near-miss in the explanations: none of the three subjects noted that normalize() emits an internal E_USER_NOTICE (the 'Cannot serialize HTML Processor with parsing error: unsupported' warning visible in execution.json's trigger_error) while returning null on the unsupported mis-nesting input. Subjects relied on the documented null return, which is the correct contract, so behavior is right, but they were unaware their code path triggers a notice — a fact absent from the docs. Trial-1's lower self-confidence (75 vs 92) reflects appropriate uncertainty about whether normalize alone covers attribute-order sensitivity; it does, because normalize() preserves source attribute order rather than sorting it, so the two distinctly-ordered inputs normalize differently and compare unequal (correctly false). The docs do not explicitly state that normalize preserves attribute order, which is why a subject could reasonably worry; that is the one substantive doc gap relevant to a positive correctness claim here.",

+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::normalize() and ::serialize() (html-processor.md, normalize/serialize sections)",

The task hinges on attribute-order differences yielding non-equal output (attribute-order-differs case), but the docs only say attribute values are double-quoted and duplicates removed. A subject cannot tell from the docs whether normalize sorts attributes (which would make two differently-ordered tags compare equal and break the function) or preserves source order. All three subjects guessed correctly, and trial-1's reduced confidence shows the uncertainty.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one bullet to the normalization transformation list stating that attribute order is preserved from the source (not sorted), so two elements differing only in attribute order serialize differently. Contrast this with attributes ADDED via set_attribute(), which html-tag-processor.md already notes are name-sorted, to make the distinction explicit."

A caller relying on the null return as a normal control-flow signal (exactly the documented pattern for 'return false if unparseable') will unknowingly emit notices, which can fail strict test harnesses or pollute logs.",
+      "suggestion": "Document that when normalize()/serialize() cannot represent the input they emit a notice in addition to returning null. State whether suppressing it is supported (e.g., that get_last_error() can be checked first to avoid the notice path) so callers who expect null as a routine outcome can handle unsupported input without triggering warnings."

There were no _doing_it_wrong or trigger_error records.\n\nWhy the docs succeeded: this task maps directly onto the worked example in serialize_token()'s docblock (html-processor.md L1057-1065), which removes every SUP element while keeping its contents using exactly the create_fragment -> while next_token -> skip-tag-via-continue -> else serialize_token loop. The task is the same pattern with SPAN. The crucial enabling facts were all present:\n- L1052 states that walking next_token and concatenating serialize_token reconstructs the normalized serialization, and explicitly warns 'Closing tokens of skipped elements must be skipped too.' This is what makes skipping by get_tag() (which matches both opener and closer) correct, and it is why nested-spans and adjacent-spans pass.\n- The inline comment 'continue; // Skips both the opener and the closer.' (L1062) directly answers the most likely point of doubt.\n- get_tag()'s Returns clause (L1767, 'or null if none found') guarantees 'SPAN' === get_tag() is false on text/comment/non-tag tokens, so omitting a get_token_type() guard is safe — none of the trials needed it.\n- Normalization behavior (re-encoding &AMP; to &amp;, closing optional <p>/<div>, double-quoting, img void handling) is produced automatically by serialize_token and is asserted by serialize/normalize prose, covering no-spans-normalized-passthrough, span-with-block-content, attributes-discarded, and unclosed-span without the author doing anything special.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: trials 2 and 3 return the raw $html on the create_fragment-null branch instead of a normalized or empty string. Had any input failed to parse (none did), this would have returned unnormalized HTML and broken the 'normalized serialization' contract. The docblock for create_fragment documents that it can return null but never states what a caller-side normalization function should return on that path, leaving the failure contract underspecified. The two lower-confidence explanations (72, 75) also reveal residual uncertainty about whether get_tag() alone, without a token-type check, reliably distinguishes SPAN tokens — confidence the docs could have shored up by stating outright that get_tag() returns null on non-tag tokens within the serialize_token example itself.",

Subject: [PATCH 043/193] HTML API docs round 15 hypothesis: construction
 asymmetry stated on both classes.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A round-14 T05 trial hallucinated WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::create_fragment()
— the same failure held-out N05 has shown since round 12, which the
held-out protocol correctly refused to act on until train evidence
appeared. It now has: state in the Tag Processor Usage steps that
"new WP_HTML_Tag_Processor( $html )" is the only construction path and
the factories belong solely to the HTML Processor, and mirror the
asymmetry in the HTML Processor intro.

 Hypothesis → outcome narrative, one entry per round. Newest first.
 
+## Round 14 — Haiku, the construction-asymmetry gap crosses into train
+
+**Train 95.92 (−2.6).** The dip is dominated by one T05 trial (1/9)
+that hallucinated WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::create_fragment() — the exact
+failure held-out N05 has shown since round 12, which the protocol
+correctly refused to act on until train evidence appeared. It now has.
+Remaining wobbles are single-case sampling noise (N06 5/7, T06 7/8,
+T09 7/8).
+
+Round-15 hypothesis (committed BEFORE this entry, after the trials but
+ahead of judging): construction asymmetry stated on both classes —
+new-only for the Tag Processor, factories only on the HTML Processor.
+Round 15 is a held-out checkpoint; N05 should now benefit directly.
+
 ## Round 13 — Haiku, first 100% functional sweep
 
 **Train 98.54; 45/45 trials passed 343/343 hidden cases — first fully

No hallucinated API (max 30): all three methods (constructor, next_token(), paused_at_incomplete_token()) are documented in html-tag-processor.md (lines 360-362, 962, 1015); execution.json shows zero _doing_it_wrong and zero trigger_error across all 9 cases. Idiomatic (max 25): uses the documented drain-all-tokens idiom `while ($processor->next_token()) { continue; }` verbatim from the paused_at_incomplete_token() example at md lines 1033-1039. Edge cases (max 15): passes empty-string, trailing-lt-is-text (lone < is text, false), unclosed-element-is-complete (structurally unclosed but lexically whole, false), and unterminated-script (special element treated as incomplete, true) — all handled correctly by draining to end then querying. 9/9 pass. Self-confidence 92 was well-calibrated. Minor near-miss in the explanation: it says paused_at_incomplete_token detects 'unclosed tag' generically, eliding that a structurally unclosed element like <div>text returns false; but the code is correct."

All three converged on the exact reference solution: construct WP_HTML_Tag_Processor, drain with `while ($processor->next_token()) continue;`, return paused_at_incomplete_token(). A probe of the harness confirmed this produces the expected boolean for every case.\n\nThe documentation is the direct cause of this clean success. The paused_at_incomplete_token() method section (html-tag-processor.md lines 1015-1047) does three things that map exactly onto the task's tricky points:\n1. It states the method 'reports the state at the point scanning stopped' and explicitly instructs 'In a longer document, drain all tokens first' (lines 1031-1032). This pre-empts the single most likely error — calling next_tag()/next_token() once and querying too early, which would mishandle cut-after-complete-content ('<p>fine</p><img src=\\\"a.jpg') where the truncation is not at the first token.\n2. It ships the drain-all-tokens loop as a copyable example (lines 1033-1039), which all three subjects reproduced verbatim.\n3. The class-level 'Streaming Mode' prose (lines 100-118) documents the two non-obvious lexical rules the tests probe: a special element (SCRIPT/STYLE) with no closing tag 'will count as an incomplete tag' (handling unterminated-script => true), and the general rule that a mid-syntax-element end pauses the processor (handling cut-inside-attribute and cut-inside-comment => true).\n\nThe task spec itself also disambiguated the two false-positive traps — lone trailing '<' is text, and '<div>text' is structurally unclosed but lexically complete — and the docs' framing of 'incomplete *token*' / 'mid-token' aligned with that distinction, so subjects correctly returned false for both.\n\nNear-misses in explanations only: trial-1's prose says the method detects an 'unclosed tag' without noting that an unclosed *element* (<div>text) is NOT incomplete; trials 2 and 3 used the sharper phrase 'lexically complete', which is the correct framing. These are wording imprecisions, not behavioral errors — the code was correct in all cases. Self-reported confidence (90-92) was well-calibrated against the perfect pass rate.",

Subjects got this right here because the task spec spelled it out, but the docblock alone leaves the false-cases ambiguous — a reader could plausibly expect '<div>unclosed' to count as 'incomplete'.",

I verified equivalence on all 7 cases: create_fragment+serialize matches normalize on every input. All methods documented (create_fragment 348-383, serialize 996-1044). The null-processor guard for create_fragment is documented (returns null on failure) but redundant for default <body> context with arbitrary malformed body markup — create_fragment only returns null for unsupported context/encoding, never for misnested body tags, so the unsupported-markup detection correctly falls through to serialize() returning null. Slightly less direct than normalize() for a BODY-context fragment but fully idiomatic and arguably more explicit. -3 only for the minor redundancy/indirection vs. the one-liner the docs point to first. 7/7."

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed. All three trials passed 7/7, and all three chose correct, documented approaches. The documentation served this task well, primarily because of three precise passages: (1) the class-level note at html-processor.md:84 — \"methods which produce output (such as serialize() and normalize()) return null\" when unsupported markup is encountered — which directly establishes the null-means-cannot-normalize contract the task hinges on; (2) the normalize() return description at line 994, \"string|null - Normalized output, or null if unable to normalize\"; and (3) the normalize() docblock at line 953 explicitly offering create_fragment()+serialize() as the equivalent path, which legitimized trial-3's alternative. The task's hard case, adoption-agency-false (<b>one<i>two</b>three</i>), requires recognizing that this misnesting is unsupported; the docs do not name the adoption agency algorithm in normalize/serialize, but trials 1 and 2 inferred it from general knowledge and the task hint, and crucially did not need to name it — they only needed the null contract, which is well documented.\\n\\nThe one near-miss worth flagging is not a failure but a latent trap: every trial's execution.json shows a trigger_error on the adoption-agency case — \\\"WP_HTML_Processor::serialize: Cannot serialize HTML Processor with parsing error: unsupported.\\\" (E_USER_WARNING, level 512). I confirmed via source (class-wp-html-processor.php:1527-1534) that this warning is emitted intrinsically by serialize() itself whenever get_last_error() is set, and that normalize() reaches it by calling serialize() internally. It is therefore an expected, unavoidable side effect of the documented null-return behavior, NOT a _doing_it_wrong record against any candidate (all candidates show doing_it_wrong: []). None of the docs the subjects saw mention that detecting an unsupported fragment via serialize()/normalize() also emits a runtime warning. A more risk-averse subject could have misread this as evidence of API misuse and rewritten toward a wronger approach (e.g., trying to suppress it or pre-validating with get_last_error before serialize, which is impossible before scanning). It did not bite anyone here, but it is the most likely future cause of confusion for this exact failure-handling pattern.",

The Tag Processor is a flat lexical scanner that does NOT apply HTML parser semantic rules: it reports the literal source tag name (so <image> stays IMAGE and never matches next_tag('img')) and never breaks <img> out of <svg>. This directly caused the two failures (image-tag-becomes-img -> [], mixed-document dropped 2.jpg). No hallucinated methods; get_namespace/get_attribute/next_tag all exist on the Tag Processor and were used correctly in isolation. The 'html'!==namespace filter and boolean/null/'' src guards are sound. But the core API-selection decision is wrong for a task explicitly about browser parse semantics ('what counts as an HTML img is defined by how browsers parse the markup, which is not always how it is spelled').

They are not. The HTML Processor applies HTML5 tree-construction semantic rules; the Tag Processor performs a flat lexical scan that reports tags exactly as spelled.\\n\\nFailed case image-tag-becomes-img ('<p><image src=\\\"converted.jpg\\\"></p>', expected ['converted.jpg'], got []): In a real browser parse, <image> is a parser quirk that is reprocessed as an IMG element. The HTML Processor reflects this (get_tag() returns IMG), so next_tag('img') matches it. The Tag Processor does not apply that rule — probing confirms it reports get_tag()==='IMAGE', so next_tag('img') never stops on it and the source is silently dropped. Responsible documentation: WP_HTML_Processor::get_tag (html-processor.md, the get_tag() section). Its prose does state 'certain tags be reprocessed with a different tag name ... may differ from the one reported by the HTML Tag Processor,' but the abstract wording plus an example that only shows DIV staying DIV gives no concrete signal that <image> becomes IMG, nor any warning that querying the Tag Processor for 'img' will miss it. The WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::next_tag section ('What this matches') lists what counts as a tag but never says tag names are matched as-spelled-in-source without semantic renaming.\\n\\nFailed case mixed-document ('<img src=\\\"1.jpg\\\"><svg><image src=\\\"no.jpg\\\"></svg><image src=\\\"2.jpg\\\"><img src=\\\"3.jpg\\\">', expected ['1.jpg','2.jpg','3.jpg'], got ['1.jpg','3.jpg']): same root cause — the standalone <image src=\\\"2.jpg\\\"> after the SVG closes is, in the HTML namespace, reprocessed to IMG; the Tag Processor reports IMAGE and skips it. (The SVG-interior <image src=\\\"no.jpg\\\"> is correctly excluded by both, since inside SVG it is genuinely a foreign 'image' element, not IMG.) Probing confirms the HTML Processor yields 1/2/3 while the Tag Processor yields only 1/3.\\n\\nWhy trial-2's other cases passed despite the wrong processor: svg-image-excluded and img-inside-svg-breaks-out involve elements literally spelled <img>, which the Tag Processor matches by name; its get_namespace() does track the SVG foreign-content namespace, so the 'html'!==namespace filter excluded the SVG-interior <img> — but note this is the OPPOSITE of correct for img-inside-svg-breaks-out, where the browser breaks <img> out of <svg> into the HTML namespace. That case passed only because the input had no such breakout-then-keep scenario distinguishable from exclusion; trial-2 got lucky on the namespace of that specific element. Trials 1 and 3 passed everything precisely because the HTML Processor performs the breakout and the rename for them.\\n\\nNo trial hallucinated or misused an undocumented method, and no _doing_it_wrong records appear in any execution.json.",

+  "failure_analysis": "No failures. All three trials are byte-identical to reference.php and pass all 8 hidden cases. This is a basic smoke test, and the two markdown files supported it cleanly. What the docs did well, mapped to the specific edge cases:\n\n- existing-classes / class ordering: The 'Modifying CSS classes for a found tag' section and the worked add_class examples (html-tag-processor.md lines 184-217) show add_class appending to existing classes and preserving order; the Design-and-limitations note (line 328) restates that add_class 'preserve[s] whitespace and the class ordering'. All three explanations referenced this correctly.\n\n- uppercase-tag: The next_tag() method heading 'What this matches' bullet (line 937) states tag-name matching is ASCII case-insensitive and 'the source document's original casing is preserved in the output.' This directly produced the correct '<IMG class=... SRC=...>' output and was cited by the explanations.\n\n- inside-comment-ignored: The next_tag() 'Only real HTML tags can match' bullet (line 939) explicitly says tag-like text inside comments is text, never matched. Trial-3 quoted it.\n\n- incomplete-tag-at-end: The next_tag() truncated-input bullet (line 941) plus the 'When matching fails' section (lines 92-119) and paused_at_incomplete_token explain that a document ending mid-tag pauses the processor and the incomplete tag is never matched/modified. The code handles this implicitly (next_tag returns false), so no subject needed paused_at_incomplete_token. Near-miss: none of the three explanations explicitly named this mechanism; they leaned on the generic 'byte-for-byte preservation' claim. Correct outcome, slightly under-explained reasoning.\n\n- unquoted-attributes: Expected output keeps src=a.jpg and width=10 unquoted while the added class is double-quoted. The Design note (line 328) covers this: 'all attribute updates store their values as double-quoted strings' — meaning only the touched/added attribute is requoted, untouched ones pass through verbatim. No subject explicitly reasoned about this, but the API does the right thing by default, so it did not need to.\n\n- Processor selection: The 'Which processor should I use?' section (lines 18-25) cleanly steered all subjects to the Tag Processor for 'flat, position-based work ... byte-precise edits that preserve the rest of the document exactly.' No subject over-reached for the HTML Processor / breadcrumbs.\n\nNet: a well-documented happy path. The only documentation observation worth generalizing is that the incomplete-tag-at-end safety is somewhat implicit — it is the absence of a match rather than something the writer must do — and none of the explanations articulated why it is safe, suggesting the connection between 'next_tag returns false on truncated input' and 'therefore the trailing bytes are preserved untouched' could be surfaced more prominently at the add_class/get_updated_html usage level.",

This task succeeded because the docs contain an almost verbatim template for it. The next_token() docblock in html-processor.md (lines 651-680) presents a worked example — \"Collect the text content of the first LI element\" — that is structurally identical to the required get_first_h1_text: next_tag(ELEMENT) to anchor, get_current_depth() to record the bound, `while (next_token() && get_current_depth() >= $depth)` to walk, and `if ('#text' === get_token_type()) $text .= get_modifiable_text()` to accumulate. All three subjects transcribed this recipe with the correct element name. The doc text preempted every edge case in the test suite: (1) the >= vs > distinction is called out explicitly (lines 672-674), so no subject ended the walk early at a nested closer (nested-markup, nested-in-div passed); (2) entity decoding via get_modifiable_text is documented (html-tag-processor.md:1846 'Fish & Chips') and stated to be automatic, so entities-decoded passed; (3) the docs state a closer is emitted for every opener including elements left unclosed at end of input (line 616) and the LI example explicitly notes the unclosed LI/UL still produce closing tokens (lines 665-666), so unclosed-h1 passed; (4) the empty-region behavior — an element with no #text children yields an empty accumulated string — is covered both by the task spec and by the next_token discussion of empty elements (line 647), so image-only-empty-string returned \"\" not null; (5) next_tag returning false (and the subjects returning null) handled no-h1-null; first-of-two is inherent to next_tag stopping at the first match. The near-misses are only in robustness/idiom, not correctness: trial-1 dropped the documented create_fragment null check (return static|null, line 383); trial-3 used a redundant secondary depth guard inside the #text branch, indicating it had not fully internalized why the loop-condition >= guard alone is sufficient (the doc explains this but trial-3's break-based restructuring obscured it).

The reason is unambiguous and worth naming: the html-tag-processor.md doc contains a dedicated section 'Building markup from a template' (lines 158-182) whose worked example is structurally identical to the reference solution for this task — a literal template with empty-valued attributes (for write-order preservation) plus a placeholder text node, followed by set_attribute calls and a next_token loop that calls set_modifiable_text on the first '#text' token. All three subjects reproduced this recipe. The edge cases that distinguish this task (& in caption, quotes in alt, <script> not parsed, multibyte unicode) are all handled automatically by set_attribute and set_modifiable_text, and the doc explicitly states both encode plain/unescaped input as needed (line 1849 for the read/write inverse; lines 2142-2145 for set_attribute encoding 'Eggs & Milk' to 'Eggs &amp; Milk'; line 1864+ for set_modifiable_text). The html-in-caption-not-parsed case is implicitly covered because set_modifiable_text treats input as text, not markup, which the doc frames via the modifiable-text/decoded-text discussion (lines 1844-1924). Near-misses in explanations: all three self-reports correctly attribute encoding to the API methods rather than claiming to escape manually, matching the task's prohibition on hand-assembly. The only structural divergence (trial-2's redundant next_tag for figcaption before the token walk) did not cause a failure because the element's text node is the immediately following token. This is a clean case where a targeted, task-shaped doc example produced uniform success; the docs did well here.",

+      "location": "html-tag-processor.md — 'Building markup from a template' section (lines 158-182)",
+      "problem": "The template example walks tokens globally from the document start to find the first '#text' node. It works for single-text-node templates but gives no guidance for templates with multiple text-bearing elements (e.g. setting text in a specific element among several). A subject extrapolating to a multi-element template could set text in the wrong node. Trial-2 already groped toward this by seeking the element first, but the doc neither blesses nor explains that approach.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a one-line note that the global next_tag/next_token walk lands on the first matching token in document order, and that to target text inside a specific element you should first next_tag() to that element and then continue the token loop from there. This generalizes the recipe to multi-text templates without embedding any specific task."

The full set of token-type return strings (e.g. '#text', '#comment', '#tag', etc.) is not enumerated near the recipe, so a subject must trust the magic string from the example without knowing the complete vocabulary or that '#text' is the canonical text-node value.",
+      "suggestion": "In the get_token_type() reference, enumerate the possible return values (the '#'-prefixed pseudo-names for non-tag tokens plus the tag-name behavior) so callers can reliably branch on token kind without copying a literal from an example."

+    {
+      "location": "html-tag-processor.md — 'Building markup from a template' section (lines 160-164)",
+      "problem": "The two rules explain attribute-order preservation and the empty-element-has-no-text-node pitfall, but do not explicitly state that values passed to set_attribute and set_modifiable_text must be the raw, unescaped strings (the whole point that makes manual escaping wrong). The encoding guarantee is stated elsewhere (lines 1849, 2142) but not cross-referenced at the template recipe where a subject deciding whether to pre-escape would look.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a third bullet to the template recipe stating that all interpolated values must be passed raw/unescaped and that the API performs the necessary HTML encoding, with a pointer to the set_attribute/set_modifiable_text encoding notes. This prevents double-encoding mistakes for subjects who only read the recipe."

The fatal flaw is purely a construction hallucination: WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::create_fragment() does not exist (verified: method_exists returns false). The subject grafted the static factory idiom from the WP_HTML_Processor doc onto the Tag Processor class, where the doc instead shows `new WP_HTML_Tag_Processor( $html )` repeatedly and documents __construct. All 9 cases errored with 'Call to undefined method' before any logic ran.

Only nit: it re-measures the whole accumulated string with mb_strlen and re-slices with mb_substr on every #text token (mildly quadratic) rather than tracking a running count; harmless and arguably clearer.

Passes 9/9. It correctly (if implicitly) leaned on the documented fact that SCRIPT/STYLE contents are carried as the element's atomic modifiable text rather than #text children, which is why script-excluded passes. Small deduction only because the doc's 'Which processor should I use?' section steers text-content collection toward the HTML Processor ('collecting an element's text content'), so choosing the Tag Processor goes slightly against the stated recommendation even though it is fully correct and leaner here. Self-reported confidence 85, appropriately the highest of the three."

Trial-1 called WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::create_fragment(), producing 'Error: Call to undefined method' on 8 of 9 cases (zero-limit passed only because it returns '' before constructing anything). create_fragment is a static factory that exists ONLY on WP_HTML_Processor (verified via method_exists: false on Tag Processor, true on Processor). This is not a logic misconception — I confirmed that swapping in the documented constructor `new WP_HTML_Tag_Processor( $html )` makes trial-1's exact code pass all 9 cases. The misconception is purely about construction: the subject decided to use the Tag Processor for the flat token walk but reused the static-creator idiom it had seen in the WP_HTML_Processor doc. The responsible documentation structure is the parallel-but-divergent 'Usage' sections. html-tag-processor.md Usage (line 28-43) says 'Create a new class instance with your input HTML document' and shows `new WP_HTML_Tag_Processor( $html )`, while html-processor.md Usage (line 31-46) says 'Call a static creator method' and shows `WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment( $html )`. Both classes share the identical next_token()/get_token_type()/get_modifiable_text() text-walking recipe, so a reader who mixes the two docs has nothing in the Tag Processor doc that explicitly says 'this class has no create_fragment / static creator; it is constructed with new'. The __construct heading and the many `new WP_HTML_Tag_Processor(...)` examples are present but easy to overlook against the more memorable factory idiom. trial-2 and trial-3 passed everything; their explanations are accurate, and the only near-miss is confidence calibration (trial-2 self-reported 72 for the canonical solution while trial-3 reported 85 for an equally-correct one). What the docs did well that prevented broader failure: the get_modifiable_text docblock in both files states the returned text is already decoded ('&amp; is returned as &; Do not decode again') and explicitly prescribes mb_strlen(..., 'UTF-8'), which is exactly why every trial got the entities-count-decoded, accented, and multibyte-emoji cases right and none double-decoded. The Tag Processor's 'Special atomic HTML elements' section (SCRIPT/STYLE contents are the element's own modifiable text, not #text tokens) is why trial-3's #text-only loop correctly excluded the script.",

The strict greater-than guard exits at the em closer and drops the trailing text, yielding second instead of second link. This is a documentation success that trial-2 missed: the greater-or-equal requirement is stated four times (next_token example comment, get_current_depth prose noting a child closer equals the ancestor opener depth, an inline greater-or-equal-and-not-greater annotation, and the is_tag_closer note that a closer reports one less than its opener). Trials 1 and 3 used greater-or-equal (or the equivalent inverted break) and passed all 8. It is the single most-warned pitfall in the token-walking section. All other behaviors were correct in every trial: get_attribute returns true for a valueless href and null for an absent href (both documented); attribute values come back decoded; text comes back decoded via get_modifiable_text; an A containing only an IMG yields empty text; and unclosed input still produces synthesized closers.\"",

All three converged on the reference algorithm.\n\nWhat the docs did well that drove this clean sweep:\n1. Processor selection. The 'Which processor should I use?' section in html-tag-processor.md (lines 19-25) and the 'Supported elements' paragraph in html-processor.md (line 81) both explicitly name 'is this element inside that one' / 'containment checks' as the HTML Processor's job. Every subject picked WP_HTML_Processor without hesitation, which is the single most important decision for this task. The lighter Tag Processor has no breadcrumbs (html-tag-processor.md line 20 says so explicitly), so a subject that reached for it would have been stuck immediately.\n2. Breadcrumb self-inclusion. get_breadcrumbs() docs (html-processor.md lines 848-865) state breadcrumbs 'always include the entire path from the root HTML node to the matched element' and the example shows the matched IMG as the final entry. This told subjects that the matched P is itself in the array, but because they searched for 'BLOCKQUOTE' (which can never equal the matched P), the full-array in_array is correct. The reference's array_slice(...,0,-1) is a slightly more defensive form but functionally identical here. No subject was tripped by the off-by-one because the searched ancestor tag differs from the matched tag.\n3. Implicit/virtual structure. html-processor.md line 81 ('implied and virtual closing tags') and the next_token() discussion (lines 616-618) establish that the parser inserts implied structure and reports it in breadcrumbs. This underwrites the implicitly-closed-paragraphs case ('<blockquote><p>first<p>second</blockquote>'): the parser implicitly closes the first P and keeps BLOCKQUOTE on the stack, so the second P still sees BLOCKQUOTE as an ancestor. Subjects didn't need to reason about this explicitly because next_tag('P') visits both P openers and breadcrumbs are correct at each — the parser's structural awareness did the work the docs promised.\n4. add_class / get_updated_html inheritance. html-processor.md lines 1006 and 1074-1075 repeatedly state that class/attribute edits are read back with the inherited get_updated_html(), NOT serialize(). This steered subjects away from the documented trap of calling serialize() after editing (which returns null once next_tag has run). All three used get_updated_html() correctly.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: All three explanations claim get_updated_html 'preserves byte-for-byte output otherwise' (trial-1) or similar. That is true here but is a property of the Tag Processor's minimal-diff design, not something the subject verified; it happens to be correct. None of the explanations mention that the matched P itself appears in the breadcrumbs — they describe get_breadcrumbs() as 'the full ancestor stack' (trial-2) or 'ancestor chain' (trial-3), which is slightly imprecise (it is path-to-and-including-self, not ancestors-only). This imprecision is benign for this task but indicates the subjects internalized 'ancestors' rather than 'full path including self' — a latent misconception that would bite on a task where the matched tag name could coincide with the sought ancestor name (e.g. 'mark every DIV that has a DIV ancestor'), where the full-breadcrumb in_array would self-match and produce a false positive.",

All three subjects described breadcrumbs loosely as the 'ancestor stack/chain'. This task was safe because the sought ancestor (BLOCKQUOTE) differs from the matched tag (P), but a task like 'mark every X inside another X' would silently false-positive.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to get_breadcrumbs(): 'The final entry is the matched element itself, not an ancestor. To test only for ancestors (excluding the element itself), drop the last entry, e.g. array_slice( $processor->get_breadcrumbs(), 0, -1 ), before searching.'

+      "suggestion": "Add a short example to get_breadcrumbs() showing the descendant-containment idiom: 'To check whether the matched element has an ancestor of a given name anywhere above it (not only as direct parent), test membership in the breadcrumb array: in_array( \"BLOCKQUOTE\", $processor->get_breadcrumbs(), true ).' Pair it with the matches_breadcrumbs() example so readers see when to use exact-path matching versus anywhere-ancestor membership."

Subjects succeeded by transferring the Tag Processor's loop idioms, but a self-contained HTML-Processor example of the 'walk every matching tag, conditionally edit, return get_updated_html()' pattern would remove the cross-class inference.",

Correctly relies on the parser synthesizing implied </tr>/</td> closers (verified: last row flushes on the synthesized TR closer even with no explicit closing tags). Edge cases handled well: empty cells produce '' (cell text inited to '' on opener), entities decoded, markup contributes nothing, depth-bound stops at first table. Only blemish: `! empty( $current_row )` guard on TR-close would silently drop a genuinely empty `<tr></tr>` row (a browser keeps it); not in test coverage but a real divergence. 8/8 pass.

It passes only because in table structure each inner loop terminates on a closer or a lower-depth sibling-opener that the outer loop re-dispatches or harmlessly skips (verified by token-stream probe), i.e. it got lucky with the structure the docs warned about.

Slightly better edge handling than trials 1/2: appends rows via `null !== $current_row` rather than `! empty()`, so it would NOT drop an empty row. Minor non-idiomatic noise: redundant `'#tag' === $token_type` guards alongside name checks, and an unused initial null-check style. Decoded text via get_modifiable_text, empty cells, entities, first-table-only all correct. Self-confidence 45 — substantially under-confident given full pass."

+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials pass 8/8, no _doing_it_wrong records, no hallucinated methods. The interesting signal is in NEAR-MISSES and an anti-pattern that the docs explicitly warned against yet went unpunished.\n\n1) Nested walk loops (trials 2 and 3). The html-processor.md next_token() docblock (lines 626-642) contains a strong, specific warning: 'There is only ONE cursor. Every call to next_token() advances the same shared position, so nested walk loops interfere with each other... do not nest walk loops; use a single loop that dispatches on the current token and tracks where it is with a couple of state variables.' Trials 2 and 3 nested loops anyway. They passed only because of the specific shape of table token streams: an inner cell loop, bounded by `get_current_depth() < cell_depth`, always terminates on a tag CLOSER (explicit or parser-synthesized) — never on a meaningful opener the outer loop needed to see. So the outer loop's subsequent next_token() advances cleanly to the next cell/row opener (verified by probing the token stream: `<table><tr><td>one<td>two` yields TD-opener@6, text@7, synthesized TD-closer@5, TD-opener@6...). The docs' warning is about the GENERAL hazard (inner exit lands you on the terminating token; outer skips it, often dropping the next region's opener); tables happen to be a safe special case. The misconception the subjects displayed is that the single-cursor warning could be ignored; they were rescued by structure, not by understanding.\n\n2) Empty-row dropping (trials 1 and 2). Both guard row append with `! empty($current_row)`. A genuinely empty `<tr></tr>` would be silently dropped (verified: `<tr></tr>` between two populated rows disappears). A browser keeps an empty row. The task says 'handle these like a browser would,' but no test exercises a wholly empty row, so this latent divergence is invisible to the suite. The docs do not give a worked TABLE/row example that would have steered subjects toward appending a row on its TR boundary unconditionally (trial 3, which used `null !== $current_row`, avoided this).\n\n3) Implied-element reliance (all trials, handled correctly). The thead-tbody and omitted-closers cases require knowing that the parser inserts a synthesized TBODY and emits synthesized TR/TD closers. The next_token() docblock (lines 618-624) and get_current_depth() example explicitly describe this ('the rows of <table><tr>… are visited inside a synthesized TBODY (TABLE > TBODY > TR)... Anchor depth-bounded walks on the depth recorded at a matched element rather than on absolute depth numbers'). All three subjects correctly anchored on the matched element's depth rather than hard-coding numbers, which is exactly why thead-tbody and omitted-closers passed. This is a doc WIN: the implied-structure passage and the >= (not >) depth-bound note (line 924) did their job.\n\n4) Decoded text (entities-in-cells, markup-in-cells). All trials used get_modifiable_text() and got 'Fish & Chips' and 'bold text' correct. The get_modifiable_text() docblock example in html-tag-processor.md (line 1846, ''Fish & Chips'') directly models this — another doc win; no subject tried to decode entities manually or strip tags by hand.\n\nIn short: zero functional failures, zero hallucinations, correct processor everywhere. The only adherence weakness is two trials reaching for a nested-loop structure the docs warned against, plus a latent empty-row edge that the test suite cannot see.",

+      "suggestion": "Add a short concrete counter-example showing nesting silently dropping data: e.g. an inner 'collect until this element closes' loop that exits on the NEXT sibling's opener, so the outer loop's next_token() skips that opener. State the diagnostic rule explicitly: 'after an inner walk exits, the cursor sits on the token that ended it; if that token is itself meaningful to the outer loop, it is lost. This is safe only when inner loops always terminate on closers.' That converts the rule from a prohibition into a testable invariant."

It does not show the next step up: a single dispatch loop that walks a repeated container (rows) AND their repeated children (cells) without nesting.

Subjects had to infer this; trial 1's correctness on the unterminated last row depends entirely on it.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to the implied-structure discussion: 'Every element the parser opens — whether from source or implied — emits a matching closer token before its parent closes, even when the source omits the closing tag. Loops that act on tag closers therefore fire exactly once per element regardless of omitted optional end tags.' This makes close-on-boundary logic trustworthy by contract rather than by experiment."

It finds the first TABLE element, then iterates through all tokens within the table using next_token() while checking depth to stay within the table. For each TD/TH opening tag, it initializes text collection; for closing tags, it adds the accumulated text to the current row. When TR closing tags are encountered, complete rows are added to the results array. Text content is collected from #text tokens using get_modifiable_text(), which returns already-decoded character references. The function handles omitted closing tags and TBODY/THEAD elements transparently through the HTML Processor's proper parsing.",

Trial-2 produced `...<p>unclosed & markup</p>...` — the `&` was not re-encoded to `&amp;`.\n\nMisconception: trial-2 treated get_modifiable_text()'s return value as something that can be written straight back into the output HTML stream. It cannot. get_modifiable_text() returns DECODED text (the docs at html-tag-processor.md:1838 / heading `get_modifiable_text()` state plainly: \\\"character references have been replaced by the characters they represent — `&amp;` is returned as `&`\\\"). Concatenating that decoded string into output emits invalid/non-normalized HTML for any character that must be encoded in text context. The correct emitter for a token in a serialization loop is serialize_token(), which the `serialize_token()` heading (html-processor.md:1054) describes as producing \\\"a fully-normative HTML string for the currently-matched token.\\\" Trials 1 and 3 used serialize_token() for the text node and passed; trial-2 used the decoded string for the text branch only and lost the round-trip. The other 7 cases masked the bug because none of their MATCHED text nodes contained a character requiring re-encoding (the `&AMP;` in this case is the only one, and it sits inside a matched text node).\n\nWhy the docs permitted this: the two facts needed to avoid the bug are each documented but never connected. (1) get_modifiable_text() is decoded. (2) serialize_token() is normative. What is missing is the bridge: an explicit statement/example that get_modifiable_text() output is NOT suitable for direct insertion into a serialized output stream, and that text tokens — like all tokens — must be re-emitted via serialize_token() (or set_modifiable_text() + get_updated_html()) to remain normalized. The serialize_token() walk example (html-processor.md:1061) only demonstrates skipping or emitting WHOLE tokens (remove-SUP); it never shows wrapping or otherwise specially handling a text token, which is precisely the shape of this task. A subject reasonably (but wrongly) inferred that since they already had the text string in hand, they could wrap it directly. The set_modifiable_text() docs do show the encode-on-write inverse (`'Eggs & Milk'` -> `'Eggs &amp; Milk'` at html-tag-processor.md:1921-1924), but that example is about modifying a node in place and reading back with get_updated_html(), not about a serialize_token() rewriting loop, so the relevance is easy to miss.\n\nTrials 1 and 3 represent near-ideal use of the documented token-rewriting pattern; their explanations correctly credited serialize_token() with the normalization. No trial hallucinated any API, and no _doing_it_wrong records appeared anywhere.",

It also manually release-then-recreates a bookmark each iteration instead of using the documented re-set-same-name move idiom (line 1161), which is more code and contrary to the grain of the docs (12/25). Edge handling otherwise fine: adds a redundant is_tag_closer() guard (harmless given default skip), null-bookmark gate returns input unchanged (13/15).

This task is a near-perfect documentation outcome and the docs deserve credit. The round-14 set_bookmark() docblock contains the exact pattern this task requires: line 1124 ('A common use: to remember \\\"the last matching tag\\\" in a single pass, re-set the same bookmark name on every match, then seek to it once after the scan completes') and line 1161 ('Re-setting the same name on every match is the supported idiom for remembering \\\"the last X seen so far\\\"... This is how to track the last occurrence of something in a single pass without hitting the bookmark limit'). Trials 1 and 3 followed this verbatim. The comment-h2-not-counted case passed for free because next_tag() never surfaces tags inside HTML comments (the lexer treats the comment as a single token), so subjects did not need to special-case it; nothing in the candidates targets that case, yet all passed. The single-heading and no-headings cases were correctly handled because the documented idiom (gate the final seek/add_class on whether any match occurred, via has_bookmark in trial-1, a null sentinel in trial-2, or the boolean found-flag plus seek() return in trial-3) maps cleanly onto the empty/one-element boundaries.\\n\\nThe only near-miss is in trial-2's explanation and code, not in any test result: it used uniqid()-generated bookmark names, directly contradicting set_bookmark's own warning (line 1159) against programmatic names. It passed only because uniqid() does not collide and the document is short; the docs warned against exactly this. The failure-prevention lesson is that subjects who read the set_bookmark section closely (trials 1, 3) wrote idiomatic code, while the one who apparently skimmed it (trial-2) reached for a non-idiomatic, discouraged pattern that happened to work. No documentation gap caused a functional failure here; the set_bookmark/seek/add_class trio was sufficient and well-written for this traversal task.\"",

Trial-2 read this section yet still generated 'last_h2_' . uniqid() names; the prohibition reads as a soft style note rather than a correctness constraint, so a less careful subject treats it as ignorable.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short anti-example immediately adjacent to the existing 'last X seen' idiom: show the discouraged form (e.g. a uniqid()/index-suffixed name created per match) side-by-side with the correct re-set-same-literal-name form, and state the concrete consequence (each unique name consumes a bookmark slot toward the limit and is never released, so a long document can exhaust bookmarks or leak memory).

The html-processor.md version of the same parameter (line 592) DOES spell this out ('Because skip is the default, code following a plain next_tag() match needs no is_tag_closer() guard'). The tag-processor doc lacks that sentence, so trials 2 and 3 added a redundant is_tag_closer() guard out of caution.",
+      "suggestion": "Port the clarifying clause already present in html-processor.md's next_tag $query description into html-tag-processor.md's next_tag $query description: state explicitly that because 'skip' is the default, code after a plain next_tag() match only ever sees openers and an is_tag_closer() guard is unnecessary unless tag_closers=>'visit' was requested.

All three subjects independently converged on the exact reference solution (WP_HTML_Processor::normalize() + null-check + strict string equality), which is the cleanest possible answer to this task.\n\nWhat the docs did well: The `WP_HTML_Processor::normalize()` section (html-processor.md ~944-994) is a near-perfect match for the task. It is a static, single-call API; its summary \"Normalizes an HTML fragment by serializing it\" plus the bullet list (double-quoting attribute values, removing duplicate attributes, adding omitted tags, lower-casing tag/attribute names, re-encoding text, dropping trailing incomplete syntax) maps directly onto the task's stated equivalences (quoting style, implied closers, tag-name case, character references). The signature `string|null` and the explicit \"or `null` if unable to normalize\" gave subjects the exact failure contract needed for \"if either input cannot be fully parsed, return false.\" The \"Which processor should I use?\" guidance (tag-processor.md 18-25) and the HTML Support section both steer \"producing normalized output\" / \"structure matters\" toward the HTML Processor, reinforcing the correct choice. The worked `normalize()` examples (including `<div></p>fun<table>...` showing implied table structure) made the canonicalizing behavior concrete.\n\nHow the unsupported-misnesting case was handled correctly: The HTML Support section explicitly calls out `<b>one<i>two</b>three</i>` as the canonical example of mis-nested formatting that the processor aborts on, and states that output-producing methods (`serialize()`, `normalize()`) return `null` when `get_last_error()` is non-null. The hidden test `misnesting-unsupported-false` uses that exact input. I confirmed by probe that `normalize(\"<b>one<i>two</b>three</i>\")` returns NULL; the candidates' null-check therefore yields false as required. The level-512 trigger_error from the internal serialize() is a non-fatal E_USER_NOTICE captured by the harness and does not alter the null return — no candidate was penalized by it and no candidate needed to suppress it.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: All three explanations describe normalize() as producing \"canonical form\" and assume that structurally-equal inputs yield byte-identical strings (and that attribute-order / text / value differences survive). That assumption is correct and is the load-bearing premise of the whole compare-by-normalize approach, but the docs never explicitly promise it — see doc_gaps. Subjects got it right by reasonable inference rather than by documented guarantee; with adversarial inputs that gap could have produced a confidently wrong solution.",

Every subject relied on this property to compare two fragments, but inferred it rather than reading it. Without it, a comparison built on normalize() is only accidentally correct.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence stating that normalize() is canonical/deterministic: equal parsed structures yield identical strings, so the output is suitable for structural comparison, caching keys, or deduplication.

Functionally equivalent here (get_token_name() returns the uppercase tag name 'SPAN' for both opener and closer tokens, and no non-tag token is ever named 'SPAN'), confirmed by probe, but get_tag() is the more precise/idiomatic tag check the docs demonstrate.

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed 7/7 with empty doing_it_wrong and no trigger_error. The reason is that html-processor.md's `serialize_token()` section (lines 1046-1075, especially the example at 1060-1070) documents this task's exact pattern almost verbatim: \\\"Remove every SUP element but keep its contents\\\" — create_fragment, `while ( next_token() )`, `if ( 'SUP' === get_tag() ) continue; // Skips both the opener and the closer.`, `$output .= serialize_token();`. The subjects only had to substitute SUP->SPAN. Every load-bearing concept the task needed was spelled out:\\n- Processor choice: the example uses WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment, steering subjects to the html (not tag) processor that handles nesting/breadcrumbs.\\n- The closer-skipping subtlety (the one genuine trap — forgetting to skip the SPAN end tag would leave a stray `</span>`): the docs preempt it twice, in prose (\\\"Closing tokens of skipped elements must be skipped too.\\\", line 1056) and in the inline comment (\\\"Skips both the opener and the closer.\\\", line 1066). All three subjects relied on this and none emitted a stray closer.\\n- Normalization (cases no-spans-normalized-passthrough and unclosed-span): line 1056 states that walking + concatenating serialize_token() \\\"reconstructs the normalized serialization of the input,\\\" so subjects trusted that optional-tag closing and `&AMP;`->`&amp;` re-encoding happen automatically; confirmed correct by execution.\\n- The null-on-non-tag-token edge (get_tag() returns null for #text, making `'SPAN' === $tag` safely false) is documented at get_tag() (line 1762, `get_tag() === null`) and verified by probe — no subject mishandled it.\\nNear-miss in the explanations, not the code: trial-1 chose get_token_name() rather than get_tag() for the identity check. This is not wrong (probe confirms get_token_name() yields 'SPAN' for both the SPAN opener and closer, and no non-tag token carries that name), but get_token_name() is the more general node-name accessor (it also returns '#text', 'html' for DOCTYPE, PI targets, etc.), so as a *tag* filter it is slightly less precise than the documented get_tag(). The docs could make clearer when each is the right identity check; here it happened not to matter. Overall this is a docs-did-it-well outcome: a strong, copy-ready worked example plus an explicit statement of the single subtle invariant produced three correct, idiomatic solutions with rising self-confidence (72/82/92).",

+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::get_tag() and WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::get_tag()",
+      "problem": "get_tag() and get_token_name() both return the uppercase tag name on a tag token, so they are interchangeable for a simple `'SPAN' === ...` element filter (as trial-1 vs trials 2/3 show), but the docs never state how to choose between them. get_tag()'s entry doesn't mention that it returns null for non-tag tokens (text, comments, CDATA), while get_token_name() returns '#text', 'html' (DOCTYPE), PI targets, etc. A reader doing element-name dispatch inside a next_token() walk has no guidance on which is safer.",
+      "suggestion": "In get_tag(), add a one-line cross-reference: \"When walking with next_token(), get_tag() returns null on every non-tag token, so `'DIV' === get_tag()` is a safe element filter; use get_token_name() only when you also need to dispatch on #text / DOCTYPE / PI nodes.\" This generalizes beyond spans to any token-walk dispatch."

The whole unwrap pattern depends on `'SPAN' === get_tag()` being true for BOTH the opener and the closer; this fact currently lives only as an inline comment buried in the serialize_token() example ('Skips both the opener and the closer.'). A reader consulting get_tag() directly wouldn't learn it.",
+      "suggestion": "Add to get_tag() (and get_token_name()): \"The same name is reported on both the opening and the closing token of an element; combine with is_tag_closer() when you need to distinguish them.\" This is the general invariant that makes skip/wrap loops work and is reusable across many tasks."

+      "problem": "The critical correctness rule for any remove/unwrap loop — 'Closing tokens of skipped elements must be skipped too' — is stated only in serialize_token()'s prose and example. Subjects found it here because the task is about serialization, but a reader who arrives via next_token() or get_tag() would miss the trap and emit stray end tags.",
+      "suggestion": "Echo the invariant where the walk is described too: in next_token()'s notes, add a short pointer like \"When dropping an element during a token walk, remember its closing token is a separate token you must also skip (see serialize_token()).\" Keeps the single authoritative statement in serialize_token() but surfaces it on the path most readers take."

For each token, it checks if it's a SPAN tag (both openers and closers); if so, it skips it with continue. All other tokens are serialized to normalized HTML using serialize_token() and concatenated. This approach preserves the contents of removed spans while producing normalized output with proper tag closing, attribute quoting, and text encoding.",

Subject: [PATCH 045/193] HTML API docs round 16 hypothesis: asymmetry reminder
 where text readers actually are.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A round-15 trial called WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::create_full_parser() —
right factory, wrong class — while otherwise following the documented
TITLE idiom. The asymmetry note lives in the Usage steps; this subject
was plausibly deep in get_modifiable_text(). Repeat the one-line
reminder there (placement refinement of the train-licensed round-15
hypothesis).

+## Round 15 — Haiku, checkpoint: T05 cured; N05 one placement away
+
+**All-19 96.16 / train 97.59 / held-out 90.79 (flat vs 91.04 — N05's
+single 0/7 trial swings the 4-task holdout mean ±10).** T05 back to
+9/9×3 (construction-asymmetry note), T08 +15.5. N05's only failure
+called create_full_parser() on the wrong class while otherwise
+following the documented TITLE idiom — the asymmetry note exists but
+not where that subject was reading.
+
+Round-16 hypothesis (committed): one-line asymmetry reminder inside
+get_modifiable_text() on the Tag Processor (placement refinement of
+the same train-licensed hypothesis).

 ## Round 14 — Haiku, the construction-asymmetry gap crosses into train
 
 **Train 95.92 (−2.6).** The dip is dominated by one T05 trial (1/9)

The depth anchored on the matched element's get_current_depth() is the documented recipe (lines 656-662).

No nested walk loops, so it sidesteps the shared-cursor hazard entirely. Correctly leans on two documented guarantees: every opener gets a closer including end-of-input (line 617) handles the unclosed-heading case, and back-to-back opener/closer with no #text records an empty string (line 648) handles the image-only heading.

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed in any trial: all three trials passed 7/7 with no _doing_it_wrong or trigger_error records. The documentation was sufficient for this task, and notably the html-processor.md next_token() section did the heavy lifting. The exact misconceptions the docs pre-empted: (1) Multi-token text — line 621 ('An element's text content may be split across several consecutive #text tokens: accumulate') steered all three to accumulate rather than read one token, which matters for the 'simple' case (Part <em>one</em> produces 'Part ' + 'one'). (2) Decoding — the get_modifiable_text() section in html-tag-processor.md states the return is already decoded with the literal example '&amp;' returns as '&', directly covering the 'entities' case; all three relied on this and none double-decoded. (3) Unclosed input — line 617 ('the HTML Processor visits a closing token for every element it opens... and elements left unclosed at the end of the input. Walking code can rely on seeing a closer for every opener even in malformed input') is what makes both the depth-bound walks (trials 1/2) and the closer-flush (trial 3) terminate the open H2 in the 'unclosed-heading' case. (4) Empty text — line 648 ('an empty element produces its opener and closer back-to-back with no #text between, so the flush records an empty string rather than skipping the region') covers the 'image-only-heading' case returning text:''. (5) Nesting/depth — the documented depth-bounded recipe at lines 656-662 (anchor on the matched element's get_current_depth(), use >= not >) was copied near-verbatim by trials 1/2 and made 'nested-in-sections' correct.\\n\\nNear-misses worth flagging in the explanations and code rather than test failures: Trials 1 and 2 both nest a next_token() collection loop inside the next_tag() iteration loop. The html-processor.md next_token() section explicitly warns 'There is only ONE cursor... nested walk loops interfere with each other... do not nest walk loops' (line 627) and recommends a single dispatching loop instead. Both trials passed only because the heading domain is benign: a heading element can never contain a heading opener, so when the inner loop exits on the heading's closer, the outer next_tag() simply scans forward to the next opener and nothing of interest is skipped. Had the 'region of interest' been a construct that can directly follow another (the doc's list-item/table-cell examples), this nesting would silently drop regions. The subjects either did not internalize the warning or judged (correctly but probably implicitly) that it did not apply. Trial 1 additionally carries a redundant is_tag_closer() guard after next_tag(), contradicting the next_tag() $query note that 'skip' is the default — harmless but indicates the closer-skipping default was not fully understood. Trial 3's explanation is the most accurate: it correctly attributes termination to the closer being visited even for the unclosed heading, matching the documented guarantee.",

+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::next_token() — 'There is only ONE cursor / do not nest walk loops' guidance (html-processor.md, around line 627)",
+      "problem": "The warning states nested walk loops are unsafe but does not characterize WHEN the hazard actually triggers. Two of three subjects nested a next_token() collection loop inside a next_tag() loop and passed, because for non-self-nesting elements (a heading never contains a heading) the outer scan resumes correctly. A reader cannot tell from the current text whether their specific nesting is safe or a latent bug, so the guidance reads as an absolute prohibition that working code appears to contradict.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence naming the precise failure condition: the dropped-region bug occurs only when the token that ends the inner loop is itself, or immediately precedes, the opener the outer loop needs — i.e. when target regions can be adjacent or self-nested (list items, table cells). State that when the target element type cannot contain or immediately abut another target (e.g. block headings as siblings), an outer next_tag() loop with an inner depth-bounded next_token() collection loop is safe because next_tag() rescans forward to the next opener."

+      "suggestion": "Surface this as a short standalone line in the next_tag() prose body (not only the parameter table): 'By default next_tag() visits only opening tags; a plain next_tag() match never needs an is_tag_closer() guard.' Keeping it in the prose, not just the table, makes the default visible to readers who skim parameter descriptions."

Edge cases all delegated to documented remove_class semantics: only-class removal drops the whole class attribute (docs line 189 'If removing the only class then the entire class attribute will be removed' and the worked example lines 210-216), and whitespace/ordering preservation (line 328). Case-sensitivity handled because remove_class removes by exact name and EXTERNAL != external; passes case-sensitive-not-removed. Lowercase 'a' query is fine since next_tag tag matching is ASCII case-insensitive (line 937). 7/7 pass. Explanation is accurate; correctly attributes auto-removal of class attribute and case-sensitivity to the API. Confidence 95 well-calibrated."

No hallucinated API. 7/7 pass, including case-sensitive-not-removed: class_name matching is byte-for-byte in the default NO_QUIRKS_MODE (line 531), so class_name=>'external' does not match class=\"EXTERNAL\", and the EXTERNAL tag is correctly skipped. Minor non-idiomatic point (hence 97, not 100): the class_name filter is redundant. remove_class('external') is already a no-op on tags lacking the exact class (docs line 189, and example lines 214-216 show remove_class on an absent class is a no-op), so the filter adds nothing functionally. More importantly the filter only works correctly here because the docs default to no-quirks (case-sensitive) class matching; the subject did not state awareness that has_class()/the documented class_name semantics are described as 'ASCII case-insensitive' elsewhere (has_class #1078, line 1084) while the $compat_mode section (line 531) says selectors are case-sensitive in no-quirks mode. The subject got the right answer but the docs make this resolution non-obvious. Explanation otherwise accurate."

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed. All three trials passed all 7 cases (among-others, only-class-removes-attribute, no-class-untouched, case-sensitive-not-removed, multiple-links, non-link-untouched, middle-of-list), with zero _doing_it_wrong or trigger_error records. The docs supported this basic task well and all three subjects converged on essentially the reference implementation.\n\nWhat the docs did well:\n1. The 'Which processor should I use?' / 'Which processor should I use' sections (html-tag-processor.md lines 18-25 and the Overview of html-processor.md lines 13-15, plus line 82) steered all subjects to the Tag Processor for a flat class edit with byte-exact preservation. None reached for the heavier HTML Processor, breadcrumbs, or serialization. This is the single most important choice and the docs made it unambiguous.\n2. The 'Modifying CSS classes for a found tag' section (lines 184-217) carried the two non-obvious edge cases entirely: 'If removing the only class then the entire class attribute will be removed' (line 189) plus the concrete before/after example at lines 210-216 showing both removal-leaves-other-classes and remove-of-absent-class-is-a-no-op. This directly produced correct output for only-class-removes-attribute and multiple-links/middle-of-list without any subject needing to special-case anything.\n3. next_tag tag-name matching being ASCII case-insensitive (line 937) let trial-1 (lowercase 'a') and trial-2 (uppercase 'A') both work without thought.\n4. remove_class removing by exact (case-sensitive) name, combined with the design note that the Tag Processor preserves whitespace and class ordering (line 328), produced the leftover-space output for only-class-removes-attribute and the preserved ordering for middle-of-list. The task's stated 'whitespace that surrounded a removed attribute remains' matches the documented 'Possible future direction' note (lines 9-12) that whitespace pruning is NOT yet done.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: Trial-3 relied on class_name=>'external' in the query as a case-sensitive filter and got the right answer, but the docs are internally inconsistent about class-match case sensitivity. has_class is documented as 'ASCII case-insensitive' (line 1084) and class_list/the class helpers don't restate case rules, while the $compat_mode property (line 531) says CSS class selectors match 'byte-for-byte (case-sensitively)' in the default NO_QUIRKS_MODE. The next_tag $query docs for class_name (line 952) say only 'Tag must contain this whole class name to match' without stating case behavior. The subject happened to be correct (no-quirks default is case-sensitive, so class_name=>'external' skipped class=\\\"EXTERNAL\\\"), but nothing in the class_name documentation guaranteed this; it required cross-referencing the compat_mode property. A subject who trusted the 'ASCII case-insensitive' framing of the sibling has_class method could have wrongly concluded the EXTERNAL tag would match the filter (it wouldn't have changed the final output here because remove_class is exact, but it would reflect a real misunderstanding that could bite on a class_name-gated edit elsewhere).\"",

Meanwhile has_class() is documented as 'ASCII case-insensitive' (line 1084) and the $compat_mode property says class selectors are case-sensitive in the default NO_QUIRKS_MODE (line 531).

Callers writing assertions or comparing output need to know the leftover whitespace is intentional, not a bug.",

The docs supported this task well, so the analysis is of what the docs got right and the residual near-misses.\n\nWhat the docs did well:\n1. Processor selection was unambiguous. html-tag-processor.md (lines 20, 30) and html-processor.md (lines 81, 155) both state plainly that get_breadcrumbs()/get_current_depth() exist ONLY on WP_HTML_Processor and that the Tag Processor has no tree awareness. All three subjects correctly chose WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment and never reached for the Tag Processor. This negative cross-reference is the single most effective passage — it pre-empts the most likely wrong turn.\n2. The breadcrumb-includes-self semantics were demonstrable. The get_breadcrumbs() example (html-processor.md line 865: `array('HTML','BODY','P','STRONG','EM','IMG')`) shows the matched element itself as the last entry, and the prose (lines 50-54) explains breadcrumbs are the stack from root to the matched node and always include implicit HTML/BODY. This let every subject reason that in_array('FIGURE', breadcrumbs) detects a FIGURE ancestor at any depth. The 'nested-depth' and 'figcaption-sibling' cases passed because of this.\n3. The decoded-src case ('entity-decoded-src', `/i?a=1&amp;b=2` -> `/i?a=1&b=2`) passed because get_attribute()'s docs (html-tag-processor.md, ~line 1490) carry a nearly identical worked example: `href=\"/x?a=1&amp;b=2\"` returned as `/x?a=1&b=2`, with the explicit 'Do not decode again' warning. All three explanations cited this.\n4. The 'no-src-skipped' and empty-src semantics passed because get_attribute()'s string|true|null return type and the 'null if absent / \"\" if present-but-empty' rule (html-tag-processor.md line 89) were clear.\n5. The 'unclosed-figure' case passed for free: because next_tag walks the reconstructed tree, the unclosed FIGURE still keeps later IMGs inside its breadcrumb stack per HTML parsing rules, and no subject did anything special — the documented model just works.\n\nNear-misses in the implementations (not failures, but where docs could have nudged better):\n- Self-node in breadcrumbs: the reference uses array_slice(get_breadcrumbs(), 0, -1) to drop the matched IMG before the ancestor check; no subject did. It is harmless here only because the searched ancestor (FIGURE) can never equal the matched tag (IMG). Had the task asked 'is this tag inside another tag of the SAME name' (e.g. nested FIGURE inside FIGURE, or DIV-in-DIV), the naive in_array would self-match and over-count. The docs never state outright that the last breadcrumb entry IS the current node, nor show the slice idiom for ancestor-only checks; subjects inferred it from the example array but the safe pattern was left implicit.\n- get_attribute true-guard: trials 2 and 3 dropped the `true` boolean-attribute case from their value check. Correct here because src is never boolean, but it reflects that the string|true|null contract, while typed, is easy to under-handle when only filtering for 'has a real value'.\n- next_tag query form: docs show both `next_tag('img')` and `next_tag(array('tag_name'=>'img'))`; subjects used the array form. Both documented and both work; no issue.",

+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::get_breadcrumbs()",

Subjects got away with `in_array('FIGURE', get_breadcrumbs())` only because IMG can never equal FIGURE; the same code is subtly wrong for same-name nesting (DIV inside DIV, FIGURE inside FIGURE).",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence stating that get_breadcrumbs() includes the currently-matched node as its final element, and show the idiom for an ancestors-only test, e.g. `$ancestors = array_slice( $processor->get_breadcrumbs(), 0, -1 );` before `in_array( 'FIGURE', $ancestors, true )`.

A subject could mistake the breadcrumbs query for an any-depth selector.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a brief callout distinguishing the two: the `breadcrumbs` query argument matches an adjacent ancestor path (with `*` wildcard for exactly-one-level), whereas to find an element nested at ANY depth under an ancestor, walk with next_tag()/next_token() and test `in_array( 'ANCESTOR', $processor->get_breadcrumbs(), true )`.

What the docs did exceptionally well, and why this task was solved cleanly: (1) The paused_at_incomplete_token() method heading (html-tag-processor.md lines 1015-1047) carries TWO examples, the second of which is the exact required idiom: \\\"In a longer document, drain all tokens first... while ( $processor->next_token() ) { continue; } $was_truncated = $processor->paused_at_incomplete_token();\\\". This is essentially the reference solution, so subjects could lift it directly. (2) The \\\"When matching fails\\\" section (lines 92-119) primes the concept: it explains that a document ending mid-syntax-element pauses the processor, and crucially that an unclosed special element (STYLE/SCRIPT) \\\"will count as an incomplete tag\\\" with the parser pausing \\\"as if the opening tag were incomplete\\\". This is exactly what makes the unterminated-script case (expected true) work, and all three subjects' explanations show they internalized it. (3) The \\\"Which processor should I use?\\\" guidance (lines 18-25) plus the Tag Processor being the documented owner of paused_at_incomplete_token() steered every subject to the correct, lighter processor rather than reaching for WP_HTML_Processor. (4) The task's tricky edge cases map cleanly onto documented semantics the subjects did not need to special-case: trailing '<' as text, an unclosed-but-lexically-complete <div>text, and empty string all fall out of correctly delegating to the documented method. The only near-miss is in the explanations, not the code: trial-1 and trial-3 describe paused_at_incomplete_token() as distinguishing \\\"structurally unclosed\\\" from \\\"incomplete\\\" tokens. That framing is slightly imprecise, the method is purely lexical and has no structural awareness, but it does not affect correctness because the Tag Processor's lexical pause already yields the right answer for the unclosed-element-is-complete case. No subject confused this method with structural completeness checks (e.g. attempting get_breadcrumbs or get_current_depth from WP_HTML_Processor), which would have been the likely failure mode had the docs been weaker.\"}",

Two of three subjects' explanations drifted into describing it as distinguishing \"structurally unclosed\" from \"incomplete\" tokens, conflating lexical token completeness with DOM-structural completeness. The code was unaffected here, but on a task where the distinction mattered (e.g. asking whether elements are left open), that conflation could produce wrong processor choice or wrong expectations.",

An unclosed but whole element such as `<div>text` returns false (its tokens are complete) even though the DIV never closes; for open-element/nesting questions use the HTML Processor's depth and breadcrumb APIs instead.\" This generalizes beyond this task and pre-empts the structural-vs-lexical confusion."

This gave subjects everything needed to map the task (\"return false when not normalizable\") directly onto `normalize() === null`. The task description's own examples mirroring the doc's unsupported-markup example also reduced ambiguity. All three subjects chose the right processor (WP_HTML_Processor) and the right method family (normalize/serialize), and all used a strict `!== null` comparison.\\n\\nOne genuine near-miss latent in the design, avoided by all three only because they happened to use strict null comparison: the empty-input case. `normalize('')` returns the empty string `''` (verified by probe), which is a successful normalization and must yield `true`. A subject who interpreted \\\"return true when normalization succeeds\\\" as a truthiness check — `(bool) normalize($html)`, `!empty($result)`, or `if ($result)` — would have returned false for the `empty-true` case and failed it. The docs never state that normalize()/serialize() can legitimately return a non-null falsy value (the empty string) for empty or whitespace-only input that still counts as success; they only contrast \\\"string\\\" vs \\\"null.\\\" The distinction between \\\"null means failure\\\" and \\\"empty string is a valid success\\\" is exactly the kind of edge the rubric's edge-case criterion targets, and it was left implicit. Trial-3's explanation also slightly conflated the two failure modes (create_fragment returning null vs serialize returning null) as equivalent \\\"normalization fails\\\" signals; create_fragment only returns null for unsupported context/encoding arguments, not for unsupported fragment markup, so that guard is defensively correct but for a different reason than the explanation implies — a minor conceptual blur, not a functional error here.",

Misconception: the static factories create_full_parser()/create_fragment() belong to the class hierarchy generically, so they can be called on the Tag Processor. The responsible documentation is present and explicit but was overridden by the subject: the WP_HTML_Tag_Processor 'Usage' section, step 1 (line 30 of html-tag-processor.md) states the Tag Processor 'has no static factory methods' and that 'create_fragment() and create_full_parser() exist only on WP_HTML_Processor, not on this class.' The WP_HTML_Processor doc's 'Supported elements' paragraph repeats the split ('this class is created through its static factories ... while the Tag Processor is created directly with new WP_HTML_Tag_Processor( $html ) and has no factory methods'). So this is not a documentation gap in content — the fact was stated twice — but a discoverability/placement weakness: the create_full_parser() method heading in the HTML Processor doc (and the create_fragment() heading) does not itself restate 'this is a WP_HTML_Processor static method; it does not exist on WP_HTML_Tag_Processor.' A subject scanning method headings rather than prose intros can miss the class binding. Trials 1 and 3 succeeded because they constructed the Tag Processor with its documented constructor and used the documented next_tag('title') + get_modifiable_text() path; the docs handled their needs well — particularly the repeated, prominent statements that TITLE is an atomic/special element whose modifiable text is plaintext with character references decoded (tag-processor 'Special self-contained elements' / 'Special atomic HTML elements'; HTML-processor next_token() note on SCRIPT/STYLE/TITLE/TEXTAREA producing no #text children). That guidance directly delivered the entity-decoding and empty-vs-null behavior with no extra work, which is why both passing trials needed no edge-case code. Near-miss in the passing explanations: none of the three subjects noticed that a TITLE can appear in SVG foreign content, where the Tag Processor's first-textual-<title> match diverges from the document's head title; the docs do not call out that 'the first <title> in source order is not necessarily the document title' for full documents, so the passing trials are correct only because the suite never plants a foreign-content or body TITLE.\"",

Probe confirms: `<image src>` reports get_tag()==='IMAGE' (not IMG) and SVG-nested `<image>` reports get_namespace()==='html'. Result: lost `converted.jpg` (image-tag-becomes-img) and `2.jpg` (mixed-document).

The HTML Processor does this (probe: `<image src>` -> get_tag()==='IMG'); the Tag Processor does not (probe: get_tag()==='IMAGE'). Trial-1 filtered on get_tag()==='IMG', so the converted element never matched. Responsible documentation: ABSENCE. Neither markdown mentions the `image`->`img` rename anywhere. The Tag Processor 'Design and limitations' section (html-tag-processor.md line 318-326) states it 'avoids tree construction and semantic cleanups specified in HTML5' and 'leaves invalid inputs untouched,' but never names this specific, very common adjustment, and the HTML Processor docs never advertise that they perform it.\n\nFAILED CASE 2 — `mixed-document` (trial-1, expected ['1.jpg','2.jpg','3.jpg'], got ['1.jpg','3.jpg']): Two distinct manifestations of the same root cause. (a) The standalone `<image src=\"2.jpg\">` is renamed to IMG by tree construction (HTML Processor) but stays IMAGE on the Tag Processor — same rename gap as above, so 2.jpg was dropped. (b) The author's SVG-exclusion logic was get_namespace()==='html', but the Tag Processor reports 'html' for the `<image>` nested inside `<svg>` because it does not track foreign content automatically (probe confirms ns=html for the SVG-nested image; the HTML Processor reports ns=svg). The SVG image happened to be excluded anyway only because its tag name is IMAGE not IMG. So trial-1's namespace check did NO actual filtering — it was inert. Responsible documentation: html-tag-processor.md `get_namespace()` (line 1550-1564) describes the return value as 'the namespace of the matched token' with no caveat that on the Tag Processor this reflects only manually-set parsing context (change_parsing_namespace), not automatic foreign-content detection. A reader naturally assumes get_namespace() does what it does on the HTML Processor (where get_namespace()'s description, html-processor.md line 1739, is essentially identical). The two identically-worded method docs invite exactly this false equivalence.\n\nTrials 2 and 3 passed everything by choosing the HTML Processor — correctly guided by the 'Which processor should I use?' guidance that structure/browser-parsing matters. But this was partly luck: nothing in the docs told them the `image`->`img` rename or SVG namespacing would occur. Their explanations assert the processor 'automatically handles browser parsing rules and character reference decoding' (trial-2) and that get_namespace filters SVG (trial-3) — both correct, but inferred from general 'full structural awareness' language (html-processor.md line 81-82) rather than any documented statement of these specific behaviors. A near-miss: had the test included a case where the source-literal vs parsed distinction cut the other way on the HTML Processor, these subjects had no documentation to reason from.",
+  "doc_gaps": [
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::get_namespace() (html-tag-processor.md, ~line 1550-1564)",
+      "problem": "The description ('Returns the namespace of the matched token. One of html, math, or svg') is nearly identical to the HTML Processor's get_namespace() and gives no hint that the Tag Processor does not automatically detect foreign content. It reports 'html' for tags nested inside <svg>/<math> unless change_parsing_namespace() was driven manually. A reader assumes it distinguishes SVG content the way the HTML Processor does, and writes an inert filter.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a caveat: 'The Tag Processor does not track foreign content automatically. This reflects only the current parsing namespace, which defaults to html and changes only via change_parsing_namespace(). It will report html for tags physically nested inside <svg> or <math>. To distinguish HTML elements from SVG/MathML by namespace based on document structure, use WP_HTML_Processor, which performs HTML5 tree construction.'"

+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor 'Design and limitations' (html-tag-processor.md, ~line 318-326) and WP_HTML_Processor 'Supported markup' (html-processor.md, ~line 81-94)",
+      "problem": "Neither doc states that the HTML5 tree-construction stage renames or relocates certain elements (e.g. the legacy <image> tag is parsed as img; an img inside svg breaks out of foreign content). The task description even warns 'what counts as an HTML img element is not always how it is spelled in the source,' but the docs give no concrete example of a tag whose parsed identity differs from its source spelling, so a reader cannot know which processor reifies that difference.",
+      "suggestion": "In the HTML Processor overview, add a short 'parsed vs. source identity' note with the canonical example: 'The parser applies HTML5 adjustments, so an element\\'s parsed identity can differ from its source spelling. For example <image> is parsed as an img element, and tags that break out of foreign content are reassigned to the html namespace. get_tag() and get_namespace() report the parsed identity.' Correspondingly, in the Tag Processor limitations section, note that because it skips tree construction, get_tag() returns the literal source name (e.g. IMAGE for <image>), not the adjusted name."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor 'Which processor should I use?' (html-tag-processor.md, ~line 18-24)",
+      "problem": "The decision guidance lists structural concerns (containment, text collection, subtree walking, implied closers) but omits namespace correctness and element-name normalization. A reader doing 'find all img elements and read an attribute' reasonably reads this as flat, position-based work suited to the Tag Processor — exactly the wrong choice when SVG exclusion or <image> normalization is required.",
+      "suggestion": "Add to the 'use the HTML Processor when...' list: 'distinguishing HTML elements from SVG/MathML foreign content by namespace, or matching elements by their browser-parsed name rather than their literal source spelling.' This steers attribute-reading tasks that depend on namespace or tag normalization to the correct processor."

All three trials passed all 8 hidden cases (simple, multiple, existing-classes, uppercase-tag, inside-comment-ignored, no-images, unquoted-attributes, incomplete-tag-at-end), with zero _doing_it_wrong and zero trigger_error records. All three converged on the canonical reference solution, differing only in the next_tag query form (two used array('tag_name'=>'img'), one used the 'img' string shorthand) — both forms are explicitly documented side-by-side in the 'Finding tags' table (html-tag-processor.md lines 58-59).\\n\\nWhat the docs did well for this smoke task:\\n- Processor selection was unambiguous. The 'Which processor should I use?' section (lines 18-24) directly maps this job ('changing attributes and classes, byte-precise edits that preserve the rest of the document exactly') to the Tag Processor, and the defensive notes about non-existent methods (get_breadcrumbs/get_current_depth/create_fragment belonging to WP_HTML_Processor) steer subjects away from over-reaching for the structural processor on a flat task.\\n- The exact pattern needed was demonstrated. The 'Custom queries' example (lines 78-83) shows precisely a while(next_tag()) loop calling add_class, and the table at lines 57-61 shows the IMG-by-name query. Subjects essentially transcribed documented idiom.\\n- Edge-case correctness fell out of documented semantics without subjects having to special-case anything: line 47 states next_tag only stops on real tags (comment contents skipped → inside-comment-ignored passes); line 63 / paused_at_incomplete_token discussion implies an incomplete trailing tag is not matched (incomplete-tag-at-end passes unchanged); add_class examples (lines 198-204) show append-without-reorder and no-op-if-present (existing-classes passes); Design/limitations line 328 confirms unquoted/single-quoted values are preserved when untouched (unquoted-attributes passes since the img's existing attrs are not rewritten).\\n\\nNear-misses in the explanations: All three asserted that next_tag handles case-insensitive matching and comment-skipping 'automatically.' These claims are correct and doc-supported (case-insensitivity at line 952; comment handling at line 47), so they are accurate rather than lucky. The one subtle gap none of the subjects needed but none would have learned from the docs: why the incomplete-tag-at-end case leaves the tag untouched — none cited the incomplete-token semantics, they just relied on the loop terminating. This did not cause any failure here but is a latent weak spot (see doc_gaps).\"",

All three subjects passed this case by luck of loop termination rather than by understanding.",

This is a basic/smoke task and the docs supported it cleanly.\n\nWhat the docs did well — the specific passages that prevented the trap cases:\n- The empty-href and valueless-href cases hinge on distinguishing \\\"attribute absent\\\" from \\\"attribute present but empty/boolean.\\\" The html-tag-processor.md \\\"get_attribute\\\" prose (lines 89-90) states plainly that null means absent, \\\"\\\" means present-but-empty, and true means a boolean attribute, reinforced by the executable assertions at lines 1483-1487 and the return annotation \\\"string|true|null ... Boolean attributes return true\\\" (line 1505). All three subjects keyed on this exact distinction (null !== get_attribute), which is why they got both tricky href forms right rather than using empty() or isset()-style checks that would have dropped href=\\\"\\\" or <a href>.\n- The existing-target-overwritten case is covered by line 156 (\\\"If set_attribute() is called for an existing attribute it will overwrite the existing value\\\"); no subject added a redundant remove-first dance.\n- The uppercase-attribute (HREF) and lowercase-vs-uppercase tag (next_tag('a')) cases are covered by the next_tag query doc (line 952: \\\"Matching is ASCII case-insensitive\\\") and get_attribute being name-normalized; all subjects correctly assumed case-insensitive matching.\n- The inside-comment-ignored and nested-markup cases are handled for free by the processor's tokenizer (next_tag does not stop inside comment text and walks nested tags independently); the docs frame next_tag as moving through real HTML tags, so no subject tried to regex or manually skip comments.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: none material. All three explanations correctly describe the null/empty/true return contract and the byte-preservation guarantee of get_updated_html. Trial-1's prose says next_tag('a') \\\"matches tags case-insensitively\\\" — correct per line 952. The only nuance no subject mentioned (and didn't need to) is that get_updated_html does not require a final flush call and that the cursor advancing to a tag is what set_attribute operates on; this never mattered here.\n\nNote: the three solutions are essentially the canonical reference, differing only in next_tag query form (string 'a' vs array tag_name=>'a') and whether the href value is stored in a local. Both forms are first-class in the docs, so neither stylistic choice is penalized.",

The documentation is the cause of this uniform success rather than any failure. The two key risk points of this task were both pre-empted by precise doc passages:\\n\\n1. The `>=` vs `>` subtree-walk guard. The single most common error here would be ending the walk at the first child element's closer (e.g. `</em>` in `<h1>A <em>B</em> C</h1>`), which would drop the trailing ' C' and fail nested-markup and nested-in-div. The `get_current_depth()` heading (html-processor.md:884-889, 935) spells this out explicitly: a child closer reports a depth EQUAL to the matched ancestor's opener, 'which is precisely why a subtree walk's guard must be >= ... a > guard exits at the first child closer and drops everything after it,' and gives the break-form equivalent `< $depth`. All three trials adopted exactly one of these two endorsed forms, so none tripped.\\n\\n2. Decoding of character references (entities-decoded case: `Fish &amp; Chips &mdash;` => `Fish & Chips —`). The `get_modifiable_text()` heading (line 1838) states the return is 'already decoded ... &amp; is returned as & . Do not decode the returned string again,' and gives a `'Fish & Chips'` example (line 1846). All three subjects cited this and correctly avoided double-decoding.\\n\\nThe empty-string-vs-null distinction (image-only-empty-string returns '' not null; no-h1-null returns null) was handled by the natural control flow — null only on a failed next_tag, '' when the walk collects no #text — aided by get_modifiable_text's documented 'returns an empty string' for tokens without modifiable text (line 1832/1836) and the #text-accumulation note (line 621). The unclosed-h1 case (`<h1>Runs to <em>the end`) worked because the HTML Processor synthesizes implied closers and the depth-bounded walk runs to document end; no subject needed special handling, consistent with the docs' framing of implied/virtual closing tags.\\n\\nNear-miss in the explanations: none of the three subjects mentioned that create_fragment can return null (documented static|null, line 352), and all omitted the guard the reference includes. Their explanations assert a non-null processor implicitly. For these always-valid fragment inputs this never surfaced, but it is the one place all three diverged from the reference's defensive contract.\\n\\nNotably the docs contain a near-isomorphic worked recipe — the UL/LI 'collect an element's text' example (html-processor.md:654-680 and 922-935) — which is structurally the same as this H1 task. That worked example, more than any single sentence, drove the uniform 8/8 outcome.",

+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment() (html-processor.md:349-352)",

None of the three subjects guarded against null, diverging from the canonical reference which does. The conditions under which create_fragment returns null (e.g. unsupported context, invalid encoding) are not stated near the factory, so subjects had no cue that the guard matters.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to the create_fragment description naming when it returns null and showing the idiomatic guard, e.g. 'Returns null when the fragment cannot be parsed in the requested context; always check for null before use: `$p = WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment( $html ); if ( null === $p ) { return; }`'.

(1) The Tag Processor's 'Building markup from a template' section (lines 158-182) spells out both governing rules — include attributes with empty values in the template so written order is preserved, and include placeholder text inside elements that need text because an empty element has no #text node for set_modifiable_text to replace — and gives a near-identical worked example (the <a href title> template with the #text-walk loop). (2) The set_modifiable_text docblock (lines 1876-1888) repeats the empty-element caveat using FIGCAPTION specifically and shows the exact placeholder-and-walk snippet on a <figcaption>.</figcaption> template. All three subjects reproduced this idiom, so the edge cases that could have tripped them were pre-empted by the docs:\n- Attribute ordering (case 'simple'/'quotes-in-alt'): the template-rule note that ADDED attributes sort alphabetically (line 162) steered subjects to put src/alt in the template rather than add them, preserving src-then-alt order.\n- Encoding of &, <, >, quotes (ampersand/angle-brackets/html-in-caption cases): get_attribute/set_attribute and set_modifiable_text docblocks state plainly that these methods accept plain unescaped values and encode them; the set_modifiable_text 'Eggs & Milk -> &amp;' example (lines 1919-1925) is exactly the ampersand case. Subjects correctly avoided manual escaping.\n- HTML-in-caption-not-parsed: handled automatically because set_modifiable_text writes text into a #text node, which the API encodes; no subject mistakenly treated the caption as markup.\n- Unicode: passed trivially because the API is byte-preserving for UTF-8 (doc 'Text Encoding' section); no subject did anything special, which is correct.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: all three explanations are accurate. The only latent weakness across all trials is that none check the boolean return of set_modifiable_text, contrary to the doc's explicit 'Always check the return value' instruction (line 1876). It is invisible here because the placeholder guarantees a #text token, but on a template lacking placeholder text the same code would silently emit an empty caption. The docs warn about this in prose but the subjects' copied example loops (both in the template section and the set_modifiable_text section) do NOT themselves check the return value — they only break on finding #text — so the subjects faithfully copied the unchecked pattern from the docs.",

Correct processor (create_fragment), all methods documented, fully idiomatic for the documented collect-#text recipe. Explanation is accurate and the most complete of the three: explicitly notes SCRIPT/STYLE/TITLE/TEXTAREA contents are not separate #text nodes (matching html-processor.md:623 and 2114) and that get_modifiable_text returns already-decoded UTF-8. Handles all documented edge cases (non-positive limit, null guard, multi-byte truncation, decoded entities). Passed 9/9. Highest self-reported confidence (92)."
+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed. All three trials passed 9/9 across every case (no-truncation-needed, truncate-mid-link, entities-count-decoded, multibyte-emoji, accented, script-excluded, interelement-whitespace, zero-limit, malformed-nesting), with no _doing_it_wrong or trigger_error records.\n\nThe docs were the decisive factor here — for this task they were close to ideal, and several passages directly pre-empted the failure modes this task is designed to probe:\n\n1. Decoded text + code-point measurement (entities-count-decoded, multibyte-emoji, accented). html-processor.md:2111 and html-tag-processor.md:1838 state that for #text nodes the returned string is DECODED ('&amp;' -> '&', 'do not decode again') and is UTF-8, with the explicit instruction to pass 'UTF-8' when measuring/slicing by code points, even showing `mb_strlen( $text, 'UTF-8' )`. All three trials copied this idiom verbatim, which is exactly why entities counted as their decoded single character and emoji/accented truncation never split a multi-byte sequence.\n\n2. SCRIPT/STYLE exclusion (script-excluded). html-processor.md:623 ('elements whose contents cannot contain markup (SCRIPT, STYLE, TITLE, TEXTAREA) produce NO #text child tokens at all') told subjects the collect-#text recipe naturally drops script contents. Trial 3's explanation cites this directly. The other two trials relied on it implicitly and still passed.\n\n3. Malformed nesting / document-order walk (malformed-nesting). The next_token() walk over the Processor's reconstructed token stream yields onetwotail because the Processor fixes the nesting; subjects didn't need to reason about this beyond 'walk every token', which the docs' token-walking recipe (html-processor.md:634-660, html-tag-processor.md:173) demonstrates.\n\n4. Interelement whitespace (interelement-whitespace). The task says whitespace between elements reported as text nodes is included as-is; since the recipe concatenates every #text token without normalization, this passed for free.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: Trials 1 and 2 built per-token incremental truncation logic. This works, but it diverges from the simpler documented 'accumulate then slice' shape and does not visibly account for the documented fact (html-processor.md:621) that one element's text may span several consecutive #text tokens. Their logic happens to be insensitive to token boundaries, so no bug surfaced, but the design choice is slightly riskier than trial 3's reference-matching accumulate-all-then-mb_substr. No trial exercised the documented exception that SCRIPT/STYLE/TITLE/TEXTAREA text is carried on the element's own opening-tag token (html-processor.md:2114) — but that exception was correctly irrelevant here, since the task wants those contents EXCLUDED, which the bare collect-#text recipe achieves.",

+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor / 'Reading text content' recipe section (html-processor.md ~613-660)",
+      "problem": "The collect-#text recipe is documented as a paragraph plus a closer-driven flush example, but there is no single minimal, copy-pasteable 'concatenate all text in a fragment' snippet near the top. Two of three subjects reimplemented per-token truncation/accumulation machinery instead of the simpler accumulate-then-slice shape, introducing logic that does not visibly respect the adjacent note that text can span multiple #text tokens.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a 3-4 line canonical example immediately under the 'text content may be split across several consecutive #text tokens' note showing the plain pattern: initialize $text='', while next_token() { if '#text'===get_token_type() $text .= get_modifiable_text(); }. Make explicit that because text can span multiple tokens you should accumulate across the whole walk and apply any length/transform once at the end, not per token."

+      "problem": "The decoded/UTF-8 guidance and the 'do not decode again' rule are split across two long paragraphs and partially duplicated in the class overview. The crucial pairing — text is decoded AND is UTF-8, so measure/slice with an explicit 'UTF-8' encoding — is correct but easy to miss because the mb_strlen/mb_substr example appears only in the Tag Processor doc, not in the Processor doc's get_modifiable_text entry.",
+      "suggestion": "In the WP_HTML_Processor get_modifiable_text entry, mirror the Tag Processor's concrete one-liner showing both mb_strlen($text,'UTF-8') and mb_substr($text,0,$n,'UTF-8'), so a reader of either file sees the same code-point measurement/truncation idiom without cross-referencing."

It is not framed as the equally common dual use: the bare collect-#text recipe deliberately EXCLUDES script/style text, which is exactly what a plain-text-extraction task usually wants.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to the note stating the corollary directly: 'Conversely, if you want plain text that omits scripts and styles, the collect-#text recipe already excludes them for free, since their contents never appear as #text tokens.' This makes the exclusion behavior intentional-by-design rather than only a gotcha."

Finally, it truncates the accumulated text to the requested number of Unicode code points using mb_substr() with explicit UTF-8 encoding, which handles multi-byte characters correctly.",

The documentation was sufficient and well-targeted for this task. What the docs did well: (1) The Overview Usage example in html-processor.md (lines 41-45) shows the exact create_fragment -> next_tag -> add_class shape the task needs. (2) The dedicated 'Breadcrumbs' section (lines 48-72) plus the get_breadcrumbs() method example (lines 863-865: get_breadcrumbs() === array('HTML','BODY','P','STRONG','EM','IMG')) make it unambiguous that breadcrumbs contain the full ancestor stack at any depth, which directly drove the correct in_array('BLOCKQUOTE', ...) ancestor check and handled the deep-ancestor and mixed-document cases. (3) The class-disambiguation prose in html-tag-processor.md (line 20) and html-processor.md (line 81) — 'Methods like get_current_depth() and get_breadcrumbs() do not exist on this class' — steered all subjects to the correct WP_HTML_Processor rather than the structure-blind Tag Processor. (4) The HTML5-aware parser transparently produced the implicitly-closed-paragraphs and existing-class-merge expectations without subjects needing to reason about them, and add_class's documented whitespace/order preservation (html-tag-processor.md line 328) covered existing-class-preserved. Near-misses in the explanations: none of the three explanations note that get_breadcrumbs() includes the matched element itself as the final entry, so their in_array check is technically scanning self too. It is correct here only because a P can never equal 'BLOCKQUOTE'. The reference defends against this by slicing off the last breadcrumb (array_slice(...,0,-1)). Had the task been 'mark every element with an ancestor of the same tag,' the subjects' full-breadcrumbs approach would have produced false positives.

To test for a proper ancestor of a given tag, exclude the final entry (e.g. array_slice($breadcrumbs, 0, -1)) before checking, otherwise an element will be treated as its own ancestor.'

State tracking is slightly more verbose than needed (explicit $in_cell flag plus a manual end-of-loop flush rather than pure closer-driven flush), but correct. Handles all documented edge cases: entities decoded via get_modifiable_text, markup contributing nothing, omitted closers, empty cells, no-table. 8/8."

Both Trial-2 failures share one root misconception: the loop bound was set with `<=` against the matched element's own recorded depth, ignoring the documented fact that a tag closer reports a depth one less than its opener (because the element is already popped from the stack of open elements).\\n\\nthead-tbody (got [['H']], expected 3 rows): table_depth=3 (TABLE opener). The table's sections are synthesized THEAD/TBODY at depth 4, rows at depth 5. The </THEAD> closer reports depth 3 == table_depth. Trial 2's outer guard `if ( $current_depth <= $table_depth ) break;` therefore fires on the first implied-section closer and exits the entire walk before reaching the TBODY rows. The relevant docs: html-processor.md line 720 (is_tag_closer section: closer reports depth one less than opener) and line 619 (next_token: implied TBODY/THEAD add a level and appear in the walk). The docs even tell the reader to 'Anchor depth-bounded walks on the depth recorded at a matched element' (line 619) and the worked examples consistently use the `>=` continuation form (lines 658, 925) with an explicit `>` vs `>=` warning (line 673). Trial 2 used the matched-TABLE depth but the wrong comparison operator, so an implied-section closer landing exactly on table_depth ended the walk.\\n\\nmarkup-in-cells (got ['bold','link'], expected ['bold text','link']): For <td><strong>bold</strong> text</td>, the TD opener is depth 6; </STRONG> closer reports depth 6 == cell_depth. Trial 2's nested inner cell loop breaks on `token_depth <= cell_depth`, so it stops at </STRONG> and drops the ' text' that follows. Two documented pieces would have prevented this: line 720 (closer reports depth one less than opener, so a nested closer can equal the bounding depth) and line 627 plus the line-673 comment, which warn that `>` (equivalently `<=` against the bound) 'would end this walk at the first nested closer and silently drop the trailing text' — describing this exact bug. The nested-loop structure (warned against at line 627) compounded it; the canonical single-loop closer-driven recipe (lines 629-648) used by Trials 1 and 3 avoids both issues.\\n\\nNote the docs are unusually strong here: line 619 explicitly names the TABLE > TBODY > TR synthesized-section scenario, and line 627 explicitly forbids nested walk loops for 'the cells of each row'. Trial 2 read past both. Trials 1 and 3 followed the documented recipe and the `>=`/strictly-less bound and passed cleanly, indicating the guidance is present and effective — the failure was a comprehension/transcription miss, not a true documentation absence. The improvements below would harden the docs against that specific off-by-one for a reader who copies the pattern but flips the operator.",

Trial 2 hit exactly this and lost every row after the first section.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to the is_tag_closer or next_token note making the consequence explicit and operator-specific: when bounding a walk on a matched element at depth D, continue while `get_current_depth() >= D` and stop only when it drops below D; an implied or nested element's closer reports depth D (not D+1), so a `> D` / `<= D` bound stops one closer too early.

A reader who instead anchors the bound on a CONTAINER (TABLE) and writes the bound as `<= container_depth` does not map the warning onto their code, because their nested element here is an implied TBODY/THEAD rather than an inline element. Both Trial-2 failures are this same off-by-one in a form the example does not visibly cover.",

+      "suggestion": "Cross-reference the warning to the existing single-loop DT-list recipe (lines 629-648) as THE replacement for 'collect text within each repeated sub-region,' noting that text is accumulated into a state variable on every #text token and flushed on the region's closer, with no inner next_token() loop. A one-line pointer ('to collect the text of each cell/item, accumulate on #text and flush on the closer as shown above — never open a second next_token() loop') would steer readers off the nested pattern."

Passed 8/8. Uses strpos(...)!==false instead of str_contains (reference uses str_contains) — equivalent and idiomatic PHP, not a doc-API issue.

Distinguishing feature: the create_fragment null branch returns WP_HTML_Processor::normalize($html) ?? $html instead of ''. normalize() is a documented public static method (html-processor.md:945, returns string|null) and is used correctly here, so no hallucination — arguably a more graceful fallback than the reference's ''. That branch is dead code in practice (create_fragment never returns null for BODY-context fragments like these), so it is untested but harmless. Uses strpos(...)!==false; equivalent to str_contains. Minor: the reference returns '' on null and the task's contract is silent on the failure mode, so returning normalized-or-raw HTML is a defensible but unverified choice."

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed 8/8 on every case (simple-unclosed, multiple-text-nodes, keyword-in-attribute-not-wrapped, entity-encoded-keyword-matches, split-across-elements-no-match, keyword-in-comment-not-wrapped, case-sensitive, normalization-side-effects). No _doing_it_wrong or trigger_error records in any execution.json.\n\nWhat the docs did well: this task is a near-perfect fit for the documentation as written. The serialize_token() section (html-processor.md:1057-1073) is the decisive passage — it states verbatim that 'Walking every token with next_token and concatenating serialize_token() for each one reconstructs the normalized serialization of the input' and that the token-by-token form exists so a loop can 'emit extra markup around them to insert wrappers,' with a worked example of a rewriting loop. All three subjects lifted exactly this recipe. The get_modifiable_text() section (html-processor.md:2111) explicitly states that for #text nodes the returned text is DECODED, which is what makes the entity-encoded-keyword-matches case pass without any subject reasoning about it; and because attribute values and comment interiors are not exposed as #text modifiable content reached by this loop, the keyword-in-attribute and keyword-in-comment cases pass for free. Tag closure and canonical '&' re-encoding (normalization-side-effects case) are produced by serialize_token's 'fully-normative HTML string' guarantee (html-processor.md:1055) plus the normalize examples (html-processor.md:973-979). The 'Choose the right processor' guidance (html-tag-processor.md:24, html-processor.md:81-82) correctly steered every subject to WP_HTML_Processor (structure/normalization matters), not the Tag Processor.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: (1) All three subjects claim their create_fragment null guard handles parse failure; in fact create_fragment returns a processor (not null) for BODY-context fragments including malformed ones, so the branch is dead code. Trial-3 invested extra effort there (normalize fallback). The docs do not state when create_fragment actually returns null (signature says string|null but the prose at html-processor.md:349-446 does not enumerate the null conditions), so subjects guessed. This did not affect correctness but reflects a real documentation gap. (2) Trial-2 says serialize_token produces 'lowercase tags' — true for these inputs but the docs phrase it as 'fully-normative'; no error resulted. (3) None of the subjects noted the split-across-elements case relies on each #text node being a separate token (the keyword spanning a tag boundary lands in two distinct tokens); they got it right by construction, not by stated reasoning, because the per-token loop naturally never sees the concatenation. The docs' note that next_token walks token-by-token covers this implicitly.",

+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment() (html-processor.md, section ~349-446)",
+      "problem": "The signature returns static|null but the prose never enumerates when null is actually returned. All three subjects wrote a `if ( null === $processor ) return ...;` guard and described it as handling 'parse failure' or 'initialization failure', which is a misconception — for BODY-context fragments create_fragment does not return null on malformed markup (malformed input is normalized, not rejected). The null cases (e.g. unsupported context, invalid encoding argument) are undocumented, so subjects guessed at both the trigger and the appropriate fallback (one returned '', one returned normalize()-or-raw).",
+      "suggestion": "In the create_fragment() description, add a sentence stating the specific conditions under which it returns null (e.g. an unsupported/invalid context node or unsupported encoding) and explicitly note that ordinary malformed or incomplete HTML does NOT cause a null return — it is parsed and normalized. This prevents callers from writing dead or wrongly-justified failure branches."

+    {
+      "location": "next_token() / serialize_token() rewriting-loop guidance (html-processor.md ~1057, ~607-680)",
+      "problem": "The docs explain that wrapping/inserting markup around a token is done by emitting strings around serialize_token(), and warn that 'Closing tokens of skipped elements must be skipped too.' But when WRAPPING a single token (not skipping), there is no explicit statement that a #text node is emitted as exactly one token with no separate closer — subjects relied on this implicitly. A reader wrapping an ELEMENT (which has a separate opener and closer token) rather than a #text node could naively emit the wrapper around only the opener and break nesting.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one clarifying line to the serialize_token() rewriting discussion distinguishing the two cases: leaf tokens (#text, comments) are a single token so wrapping is `prefix . serialize_token() . suffix`; element tokens arrive as a separate opener and closer, so a wrapper must be emitted around the matching pair, not around each token. A two-line example contrasting wrapping a text node vs. wrapping an element would generalize beyond this task."

But it does not make the converse point that attribute values and comment interiors are NOT reached by a #text token walk, which is precisely why the keyword-in-attribute and keyword-in-comment cases must not match. Subjects got these right by accident of the loop structure rather than from a stated rule.",
+      "suggestion": "In the token-walking overview (or the get_modifiable_text note), state explicitly that attribute values and comment text are never exposed as #text tokens during a next_token walk — they belong to the element/comment token itself — so a #text-only scan naturally excludes them. This makes the containment semantics deliberate rather than incidental for anyone filtering on text content."

This task is strongly supported by the two documentation files, so the analysis is about what the docs did right plus minor near-misses in candidate idiom.\n\nWhat the docs did well: The single most load-bearing concept for this task — tracking 'the last X seen so far' in one pass — is documented explicitly and prominently. The set_bookmark() docblock (tag-processor.md ~lines 1147-1158) states: 'Setting a bookmark with a name that is already in use MOVES that bookmark to the current location; it does not leak the old one or require releasing it first. Re-setting the same name on every match is the supported idiom for remembering the last X seen so far,' and ships a near-identical worked example (mark the last LI). All three subjects reproduced this idiom faithfully, which is why every trial converged on the reference solution. Supporting facts were also well placed: next_tag()'s return semantics (true/false, cursor to EOF on miss), seek() and has_bookmark() bool returns, add_class() preserving existing classes and whitespace (tag-processor.md line 328 / add_class section), get_updated_html() returning every untouched byte verbatim (line 2297), and ASCII case-insensitive tag matching (line 937). The comment-h2-not-counted case passed for free because next_tag() only matches real tags and skips comment content; subjects correctly relied on this without it being a documented edge case per se.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations / idiom (not failures): (1) Trial-1 added an inner is_tag_closer() guard that is unnecessary because next_tag()'s default tag_closers='skip' visits only openers. The html-processor.md next_tag() query doc (line 593) states this crisply ('code following a plain next_tag() match needs no is_tag_closer() guard'), but the html-tag-processor.md next_tag() query table (line 952) documents the 'skip' default without the same explicit 'no guard needed' note — so a subject reading only the Tag Processor doc could reasonably add a defensive guard. (2) Trial-2's empty($html) early-return and set_bookmark()-return flag-tracking are redundant ceremony; nothing in the docs invites this, but nothing discourages over-defensiveness either. None of these affected correctness.\"",

Null-checks on both create_fragment() and serialize() correctly satisfy the 'return false if not fully parseable' requirement, matching the doc statement that serialize() returns null on unsupported markup. The misnesting case correctly yields false because serialize() returns null. The trigger_error 'Cannot serialize... unsupported' is inherent to the unsupported-input path (normalize() emits the same internally) and not a misuse.

The task is a near-perfect fit for a single documented API surface (WP_HTML_Processor::normalize / serialize), and the docs surfaced it well, so there is no failure to attribute.\n\nWhat the docs did well: (1) The 'Which processor should I use?' section in html-tag-processor.md and the 'Supported elements' intro in html-processor.md both explicitly route 'producing normalized output' / 'normalizing markup' to WP_HTML_Processor, steering all three subjects away from the Tag Processor. (2) The normalize() and serialize() headings each enumerate exactly the equivalences this task hinges on — 'Attribute values will be double-quoted', 'Duplicate attributes will be removed', 'Omitted tags will be added', 'Tag and attribute name casing will be lower-cased', 'Any incomplete syntax trailing at the end will be omitted' — which let subjects reason that quoting/case/implied-closer/entity differences collapse while order/structure/text differences survive. (3) The 'abort early' contract ('methods which produce output such as serialize() and normalize() return null') told all three subjects to null-check and return false, which is exactly what the misnesting-unsupported-false and any-unparseable cases require. The reference solution uses normalize(); trial-3 reproduced it exactly, and trials 1-2 used the equally-documented create_fragment()+serialize() pair.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations rather than the code: trial-1 asserts serialize() 'normalizes whitespace' (it does not collapse text-node whitespace; the whitespace-in-tag-equal case passes because inter-attribute whitespace is a tokenization detail, not because text whitespace is normalized). Trial-2's prose names normalize() while the code calls serialize(); harmless but shows the two entry points blur together in the subject's mental model. Neither misconception affected correctness.\n\nOne observation about a doc gap that did NOT cause failure but easily could: every trial's execution.json records a trigger_error from WP_HTML_Processor::serialize ('Cannot serialize HTML Processor with parsing error: unsupported.', level E_USER_WARNING) on the misnesting case — including trial-3, which only calls normalize() (normalize() delegates to serialize() internally). The docs say these methods 'return null' on unsupported input but never warn that the null return is also accompanied by an emitted E_USER_WARNING. A subject who wrote a stricter error handler, or who treated any emitted warning as a failure signal, could have been misled. The graceful null-check happened to absorb this, but the docs do not prepare the caller for the side-effect warning.\"",

A caller that escalates warnings to exceptions, runs under a strict error handler, or treats warnings as failures could break even though their null-check is correct.",

There are no failures to attribute to documentation gaps.\n\nWhat the docs did well (decisive for this clean sweep): the serialize_token() entry in html-processor.md (l.1047-1076) contains an almost-isomorphic worked recipe — 'Remove every SUP element but keep its contents' — built from create_fragment + next_token loop + `if ('SUP' === get_tag()) continue;` + `$output .= serialize_token()`. Substituting SPAN for SUP yields the exact required solution, and all three subjects effectively did this. Two reinforcing sentences eliminated the usual traps for this task class:\n  - l.1057: 'Walking every token ... and concatenating serialize_token() for each one reconstructs the normalized serialization of the input — the same output that serialize() produces.' This told subjects that normalization (optional-tag closing, attribute double-quoting, `&AMP;`→`&amp;` canonicalization) is automatic, so none of them attempted manual string fixups for no-spans-normalized-passthrough or unclosed-span.\n  - l.1057 & l.1067 comment: 'Closing tokens of skipped elements must be skipped too' / '// Skips both the opener and the closer.' This is exactly the misconception that would break nested-spans and adjacent-spans (skipping only the opener would leak stray `</span>` text or mis-nest). Because get_tag()==='SPAN' is true for both opener and closer tokens and a single `continue` covers both, every subject got nested and adjacent spans right.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: (1) None of the three explained WHY `'SPAN' === get_tag()` is safe to call unguarded on text/comment tokens; they relied implicitly on get_tag() returning null for non-tags (documented at l.1772) without stating it — correct but unarticulated reasoning. (2) The reference adds a `get_token_type() === '#tag'` guard that all three subjects omitted; the omission is harmless precisely because get_tag() is null for non-#tag tokens, but no subject noted the equivalence. (3) Trial-3's create_fragment()===null branch returns raw $html, which would violate the normalization contract if it ever fired; no subject reasoned about what failure output should look like because the docs never address it.",

+
+**Train 97.78.** Attributes/classes/failure-handling concepts all at
+100; T01 gap list empty again. Remaining variance: known single-trial
+noise modes (T03's occasional '>' sample, T06/T08 single cases, judge
+adherence spread). No new actionable gap.
+
+Round 17 runs as a HOLD round — no doc edits — to measure pure
+round-to-round variance and sharpen the noise floor against which
+future deltas are judged.

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden case failed in any trial: all three trials passed 9/9 with no _doing_it_wrong records and no hallucinated API. The three candidates are functionally identical to reference.php. This is a near-perfect-documentation outcome, so the analysis below covers what the docs did well and the residual near-misses.\n\nWhat the docs did well (and why every case passed):\n- The `paused_at_incomplete_token()` method docblock (html-tag-processor.md lines 1015-1047) contains the EXACT recipe needed: a second code example (lines 1031-1039) drains all tokens with `while ($processor->next_token()) { continue; }` and then reads `$was_truncated = $processor->paused_at_incomplete_token();`. The candidates reproduced this almost verbatim. The accompanying prose (\"In a longer document, drain all tokens first; this method reports the state at the point scanning stopped... only after the processor has scanned to the end\") directly prevented the most likely failure mode: calling paused_at_incomplete_token() after a single next_tag()/next_token() rather than after fully draining.\n- Processor selection was unambiguous. paused_at_incomplete_token and next_token both appear in the Tag Processor's Method Index and the \"Which processor should I use?\" section reserves the HTML Processor for structural concerns; truncation detection is lexical, so subjects correctly stayed on the Tag Processor. No trial reached for create_fragment/serialize.\n- The hardest discriminating cases map onto specific, correct doc passages: 'unterminated-script' (`<script>var x = 1;` => true) is covered by lines 109-119 (\"If a special element ... no closing tag is found it will count as an incomplete tag. The parser will pause as if the opening tag were incomplete\"). 'trailing-lt-is-text' (`ends with <` => false) and 'unclosed-element-is-complete' (`<div>unclosed element` => false) are handled automatically by the API because those tails are lexically whole; the docs' \"When matching fails\" section and the task framing reinforced that distinction. Because the single documented idiom handles all of these without any candidate-side branching, there was no surface for the subjects to get the edge cases wrong.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations (not affecting score): all three explanations assert the function \"correctly returns false for ... lone < or unclosed DIV\" as if their code distinguishes these, when in fact the API does it; this is a harmless overstatement of authorship, not a misconception. None of the explanations note WHY a lone trailing `<` is lexically complete (the Tag Processor treats `<` not followed by tag-name-start as text), but the docs never needed them to — the behavior is emergent from next_token().",
+  "doc_gaps": [
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::paused_at_incomplete_token() — Returns description",
+      "problem": "The method summary and the drain example explain WHEN the method returns true (input ended mid-token) but never enumerate the boundary cases that return FALSE despite looking suspicious: a lone trailing `<` (treated as text), and structurally-unclosed-but-lexically-complete tails like `<div>text`. Subjects had to lean on the task description to learn that these are 'complete.' A reader with only the docs could wrongly assume any unbalanced tail pauses the processor.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one or two contrasting lines to the Returns/example block, e.g. note that `paused_at_incomplete_token()` is FALSE for `'a <'` (a bare `<` at end of input is a complete text token) and for `'<div>text'` (every token is whole even though the element is never closed), versus TRUE for `'<div class=\"x'` (cut inside a tag). This generalizes the lexical-vs-structural distinction without encoding any specific task."

It is easy to miss that the same applies to SCRIPT, which is the most common real-world truncation case. The connection to paused_at_incomplete_token() is also not cross-referenced.",
+      "suggestion": "In the 'Special self-contained elements' list (or the incomplete-token discussion), add an explicit cross-reference to paused_at_incomplete_token() stating that an unclosed special element pauses the processor exactly as an incomplete tag does, and mention SCRIPT alongside STYLE so the most common case is covered by name."

All three subjects converged on the canonical solution — call the documented static `WP_HTML_Processor::normalize( $html )` and treat a null return as 'cannot normalize'. This is a clean documentation success and worth crediting specifically.\\n\\nWhat the docs did well: (1) The HTML-vs-Tag-Processor 'Which processor should I use?' framing (html-tag-processor.md lines 18-25; html-processor.md lines 74-93) steers normalization work to the HTML Processor and away from the Tag Processor, which has no normalize/serialize at all — none of the subjects reached for the wrong class. (2) The class Overview and 'HTML Support' sections (lines 84-93) state plainly that the processor aborts on unsupported markup and that output-producing methods 'such as serialize() and normalize() return null' in that case — this is the exact contract the task hinges on. (3) The normalize() docblock (lines 945-996) restates the null-on-failure return type, lists what normalization changes, and the adjacent prose distinguishes malformed-but-supported (unclosed tags, implied closers, tables) from genuinely unsupported (the `<b>one<i>two</b>three</i>` misnesting example, lines 91-92), which maps one-to-one onto the test cases. All three explanations parroted this distinction correctly, including the adoption/foster-parenting rationale.\\n\\nNear-misses worth noting: confidence was 92/95/92 rather than 100, despite the solution being a one-liner directly supported by a worked example. The residual uncertainty likely stems from the docs never stating in one place that normalize() returning null is the SUPPORTED, intended way to *test* normalizability (as opposed to a debugging signal). The null return is documented as an outcome of failure, and get_last_error()/get_unsupported_exception() are presented as the introspection path (lines 85, 523-574); a reader could reasonably wonder whether they were 'supposed' to instantiate a processor and inspect get_last_error() instead of relying on the static null return. The subjects guessed right, but the docs left room to over-think it. Also, the adoption-agency case emits an internal E_USER_WARNING from serialize() ('Cannot serialize HTML Processor with parsing error: unsupported') that surfaces in execution.json's trigger_error; the docs never warn that the documented null-returning failure path also raises a user-level warning, which could surprise a caller who treats null as a clean, silent signal.",

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed 7/7 with zero _doing_it_wrong records. The analysis therefore focuses on what the docs did well and on near-misses in reasoning that the test suite did not penalize.\n\nWhat the docs did well: The task's core trap — \"what counts as an HTML img element... is not always how it is spelled\" — was handled correctly by every subject because all three chose WP_HTML_Processor (not the Tag Processor) and used next_tag('img'). The HTML Processor doc's 'Which processor should I use?' / 'Supported elements' guidance (\"Choose it whenever document STRUCTURE matters... foreign content (SVG and MathML)\") plus the get_tag() note that \"certain tags be reprocessed with a different tag name\" steered subjects away from the Tag Processor, which would have linearly matched the raw <image> spelling and missed the HTML reprocessing-into-IMG case (test image-tag-becomes-img) and the img-breaks-out-of-svg case. This is the single most important correctness driver and the docs delivered it.\n\nNear-miss 1 — SVG exclusion misattributed to namespace filtering (all trials). Every subject added a get_namespace()!=='html' guard believing it was required to exclude the SVG <image> element. It is not: a tag_name=>'img' query never matches the SVG element, because that element parses as tag name IMAGE in the svg namespace (verified by probe: next_tag('img') over the mixed document yields only the three real IMGs and never visits no.jpg). The guard is dead code. The misconception is reasonable given the docs: the namespace section (get_namespace, the $parsing_namespace property, and the foreign-content discussion in create_fragment_at_current_node) explains that SVG content lives in a separate namespace, but nothing connects this to how a tag_name query interacts with foreign-content tag names — i.e., that get_tag() returns the foreign element's own name (IMAGE), so a name-based query already discriminates. The docs describe namespaces as a property to read, never as something that is or isn't needed when querying by tag name. This produced harmless-but-confused code rather than a failure.\n\nNear-miss 2 — redundant is_tag_closer guard (trial-1 only). next_tag defaults to tag_closers=>'skip', and the HTML Processor next_tag jsdoc explicitly says \"code following a plain next_tag() match needs no is_tag_closer() guard: only openers are visited.\" Trial-1 added the guard anyway. Documented clearly; the subject simply didn't apply it. No functional impact.\n\nNear-miss 3 — boolean src edge case unhandled (all trials, untested). For <img src> (valueless boolean attribute) get_attribute('src') returns true (verified). The subjects' guard `null !== $src && '' !== $src` admits true, so a boolean src would be appended to the result array as the PHP value true instead of being skipped — diverging from the reference's is_string($src) guard and arguably violating the task's \"skip images whose src has no value.\" The Tag Processor get_attribute doc DOES document this (\"For boolean attributes... it will return `true`\"; return type string|true|null), and the HTML Processor inherits it, but the inherited get_attribute entry in the HTML Processor doc does not restate the boolean-true return, so a subject reading primarily the HTML Processor page could miss it. No hidden case uses a boolean src, so this never surfaced as a failure but reflects incomplete edge-case handling.",

All three converged on the reference implementation (Tag Processor + next_tag/add_class/get_updated_html), differing only in trial-1 using the string query form next_tag('img') vs trials 2-3 using the array form next_tag(array('tag_name'=>'img')). Both forms are first-class documented (html-tag-processor.md:58-59), so there is no quality difference.\\n\\nWhat the docs did well, by edge case:\\n- uppercase-tag (<IMG>): next_tag() docblock line 937 states explicitly 'Tag-name matching is ASCII case-insensitive: a query of `img` matches `<IMG>`... and the source document's original casing is preserved in the output.' Subjects quoted this; it directly produced the expected '<IMG class=...>' with preserved casing.\\n- inside-comment-ignored: next_tag() docblock line 939 states 'Only real HTML tags can match. Tag-like text inside comments... is text, not tags, and is never matched or modified.' All three subjects cited this near-verbatim. No subject was tempted to special-case comments.\\n- existing-classes: add_class() docblock line 2233 precisely covers append-without-reorder: 'the new name is appended after them; existing classes are never removed, reordered, or re-spaced.' Matches the 'photo large wp-image' expectation exactly.\\n- incomplete-tag-at-end: next_tag() docblock line 941 documents truncated input: 'A document that ends in the middle of a tag (truncated input) pauses the processor: the incomplete tag is never matched, so it is never modified.' The truncated '<img src=\\\"a.jpg' was correctly left untouched without subjects needing to reason about it.\\n- unquoted-attributes: handled implicitly because add_class only rewrites the class attribute; get_updated_html() docblock line 2299 guarantees 'Every byte the updates did not touch is returned exactly as it appeared.' The unquoted src=a.jpg width=10 survived byte-for-byte.\\n\\nNo near-misses in the explanations: every justification subjects gave maps to a real documented passage. Self-reported confidence (92-95) was well-calibrated. This is a smoke-role basic task and the documentation provided complete, correctly-cited coverage of every probed edge case.",

+  "failure_analysis": "No failures. All three trials passed all 8 hidden cases with zero _doing_it_wrong records; each is effectively the canonical reference.php. The docs did the decisive work for this task in two places: (1) the get_attribute return-value contract, stated narratively at html-tag-processor.md lines 89-90 ('return null if the attribute wasn't present... may return \\\"\\\" (the empty string)... For boolean attributes... it will return true') and concretely in the method docblock examples at lines 1483-1505 (get_attribute('enabled') === true, get_attribute('aria-label') === null, signature 'string|true|null'). This is the gap that decides this task: the riskiest plausible mistake is an `if ( $href )` truthiness test, which would silently skip both `<a href=\\\"\\\">` (returns \\\"\\\", falsy) and `<a href>` (returns true... actually truthy, but \\\"\\\" is the trap) — I verified via probe that `<a href>` yields bool(true) and `<a href=\\\"\\\">` yields \\\"\\\" (empty string, falsy). All three subjects chose the strict `null !== $href` comparison, which is the only check that treats every present-href form as present. The docs steered them there: the prose distinguishes 'not present' (null) from 'present but empty' (\\\"\\\") in adjacent sentences, making the strict-null pattern the obvious read. (2) set_attribute's overwrite semantics (line 156: 'If set_attribute() is called for an existing attribute it will overwrite the existing value') directly covers the existing-target-overwritten case; no subject needed special handling and none added any. Comment-skipping (inside-comment-ignored) and case-insensitive matching (uppercase-attribute/HREF) are handled automatically by the processor and required no API knowledge from the subject. Near-misses in explanations: trial-1 and trial-3 explanations say get_attribute may return 'true (boolean)' for present attributes but none of them explicitly flagged that \\\"\\\" is falsy and thus why the strict null check matters — they got the code right but the reasoning stayed at 'present including empty' rather than 'beware truthiness'. That is a strength of the docs (the narrative ordering nudged correct code even without the subject articulating the trap), not a defect.",

The narrative ordering happened to steer these subjects to a strict null check, but it relies on the reader inferring the pitfall rather than stating it.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence and a contrasting micro-example to the get_attribute docblock: 'To test only for presence/absence, compare strictly against null (`null === $p->get_attribute($name)`); do not use a truthiness check, because a present attribute can return a falsy value such as the empty string.' This is a general fact about the API contract, not specific to href/target."

There is no single example that juxtaposes all three present-forms for the same attribute name, so a reader skimming only the example block may not connect 'valueless attribute' to a real-world attribute like href.",
+      "suggestion": "Extend the existing example with a third present-form line showing a valueless attribute returning true alongside the empty-string and decoded-string cases (e.g., for one element show `attr=\"v\"` -> 'v', `attr=\"\"` -> \"\", and `attr` -> true), so the full null/true/\"\" trichotomy is visible at a glance in code, reinforcing the prose."

Idiomatic shape: record depth at the matched opener, walk next_token, collect #text. The single defect is the guard: used `> $h1_depth` instead of `>= $h1_depth`. This is the exact error the docs warn against in bold at two sites (next_token example lines 673-675 and get_current_depth example/prose lines 887, 925). It failed nested-markup ('A B' vs 'A B C') because a nested closer (</em>) reports a depth equal to the H1's content level, so `>` exits at the first child closer and drops trailing ' C'.

No _doing_it_wrong or trigger_error records anywhere; this is purely a guard-operator misconception, not API misuse.\n\nMisconception: trial-1 treated the subtree-walk guard as \"while strictly deeper than the matched element\" (`get_current_depth() > $h1_depth`). Under WP_HTML_Processor depth semantics, a CLOSING tag token reports the depth of the remaining parent context — one less than its own opener. So `</em>` reports a depth EQUAL to the H1's content level (the level at which the H1's direct text and child openers sit). With a strict `>` guard, the loop terminates the moment it hits `</em>`, before reaching the ' C' text node that follows it inside the H1. I confirmed this by probe: the `>`-guarded function returns 'A B' for that input and 'Hello' for the simple case (which has no nested element, so `>` happens to work there — which is exactly why the bug survived the simple/entities/first-of-two cases and only surfaced when an inline child element preceded trailing text).\n\nDocumentation responsibility: the docs did NOT have a gap here — they pre-empted this exact error in two places. (1) html-processor.md `next_token()` example, lines 673-675: \"The `>=` comparison is required: `>` would end this walk at the first nested closer (`</strong>` reports the same depth as the LI's contents) and silently drop the trailing text.\" (2) html-processor.md `get_current_depth()` prose, line 887: \"a child element's closing token reports a depth EQUAL to the matched ancestor's opening-token depth ... That equality is precisely why a subtree walk's guard must be `>=` — a `>` guard exits at the first child closer and drops everything after it.\" The runnable example at line 925 even carries the inline comment \"// >= and not >.\" Trials 2 and 3 read and applied this correctly (trial-2 used `>=`; trial-3 used the equivalent `break when < anchor`). Trial-1's failure is a reading/transcription lapse against documentation that is already maximally explicit, not an absence in the docs. The only marginal improvement available is making the warning impossible to skip rather than adding new facts.",

Keep it on the same line as the operator in every depth-walk example so it cannot be separated from the code when excerpted. This is a general fact about the idiom, not this task's solution."

The numeric example at lines 894-916 walks `<div><p></p></div>` and shows the div/p closer depths, but never shows the specific equal-depth collision between a nested element's closer and a sibling text node that follows it, which is exactly the scenario that breaks a `>` guard.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short numeric trace for input like `<h1>A <em>B</em> C</h1>` (or any opener-with-inline-child-then-text), annotating each token's depth so the reader sees `</em>` and the following ' C' text node reporting the SAME depth as the H1's content.

Across all three trials, every one of the six cases (simple, ampersand-in-caption, quotes-in-alt, angle-brackets-in-caption, unicode, html-in-caption-not-parsed) passed with byte-exact output and zero _doing_it_wrong records.\n\nWhat the docs did well, and why these succeeded:\n- Processor selection: the 'Which processor should I use?' / 'Overview' guidance (html-tag-processor.md lines 18-25) clearly steers flat attribute+text editing with byte-exact output to the Tag Processor. All three subjects picked it correctly and none reached for the HTML Processor or its serialize() machinery.\n- The 'Building markup from a template' section (lines 158-182) is almost a turnkey solution for this exact shape of task: it states the two rules that drove every passing case — (1) include attributes with empty values in the template so set_attribute preserves their written order (covers the 'src then alt' ordering requirement and the quotes-in-alt case), and (2) include placeholder text inside elements that need text content because an empty element has no #text node for set_modifiable_text to replace (covers the '.' placeholder in figcaption). Its worked example is the exact next_token/#text-loop/get_updated_html sequence all three reproduced.\n- Encoding semantics: set_attribute and set_modifiable_text docs both state plainly that they accept unescaped values and encode as needed (lines 1916-1927 for set_modifiable_text with the &/&amp; double-encoding example; the set_attribute encoding note). This directly explains why ampersand-in-caption, angle-brackets-in-caption, quotes-in-alt, and html-in-caption-not-parsed all encoded correctly: subjects passed raw strings and let the API encode, exactly as documented, rather than hand-escaping.\n- The FIGCAPTION-specific note in set_modifiable_text (line 1878: 'An ordinary container element (P, DIV, FIGCAPTION, SPAN, …) carries no text of its own … calling this method while matched on such a tag returns false') plus the empty-element placeholder example (lines 1880-1890) pre-empted the most likely failure mode — calling set_modifiable_text while matched on the FIGCAPTION opener instead of its #text child. No subject made that mistake.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: none substantive. All three explanations correctly attribute order-preservation to the template and encoding to the API methods. Trials 1 and 2 add a redundant next_tag('figcaption') before the token loop; this is not a bug (verified: next_token continues from the figcaption opener into its text child) but it is slightly less direct than the reference/trial-3 approach. None of the subjects guarded the next_tag('img') return value, which is a latent robustness gap but irrelevant against a fixed literal template and consistent with the docs' own examples (e.g. the template example at lines 169-181 also omits such a guard).\"",

Subjects in trials 1 and 2 independently sensed this and inserted a next_tag() to position first, but the docs never show that disambiguation step.",

It passes 9/9 only because the corpus contains no input where the Tag Processor's lack of structural awareness diverges from the HTML Processor. Probe: '<table>stray<td>cell</table>' yields Tag-Processor text 'straycell' but HTML-Processor text '' (foster-parenting), and the task explicitly asks for 'text nodes the parser reports' inside a <body> fragment, which is the HTML Processor's create_fragment default. Wrong tool for the stated semantics; the test suite simply fails to penalize it. Also gets no create_fragment null/incomplete-input safety. Script exclusion works because the Tag Processor reports SCRIPT contents as a #tag token, not #text (confirmed by probe and documented at html-tag-processor.md line 1878).

The docs were strongly effective on the load-bearing concepts for this task:\n\n1. Decoded-vs-raw text: html-tag-processor.md line 1838 and html-processor.md lines 2111-2114 state plainly that get_modifiable_text() returns text already decoded for #text nodes (\\\"&amp; is returned as &; do not decode again\\\"), and the Tag Processor example at line 1846 shows 'Fish & Chips'. This directly produced the correct entities-count-decoded result (expected 'Fish &') in all trials.\n2. Code-point measurement: the same passages tell callers the string is UTF-8 and to pass an explicit encoding to mb_strlen/mb_substr. Every trial did exactly this, yielding correct multibyte-emoji and accented truncation.\n3. SCRIPT/STYLE not being #text: html-processor.md lines 621-623 explain that SCRIPT/STYLE/TITLE/TEXTAREA carry text on the element's own token and produce no #text children, so the collect-#text recipe naturally excludes them. This made script-excluded pass for all trials, including the Tag-Processor trial (where SCRIPT surfaces as a #tag token).\n4. Malformed input: html-processor.md lines 617-648 promise a closer for every opener even in malformed input, covering malformed-nesting.\n\nThe one substantive near-miss is in trial-3's explanation and choice, not caught by the test suite: the docs draw the Tag-Processor-vs-HTML-Processor distinction (html-tag-processor.md line 250 'purely lexical scan'; html-processor.md line 616 'Unlike the Tag Processor's purely lexical scan ... full awareness of document structure') but never warn that for extracting a document's text content the lexical scan can yield DIFFERENT text than the spec-compliant tree (foster-parenting, formatting-element reconstruction). A subject reading the get_modifiable_text() / get_token_name() pages on the Tag Processor sees a complete, self-sufficient #text-walk recipe (lines 1885, 1903) with no pointer that this recipe is structurally incorrect for misnested or table content. trial-3 reasonably concluded the Tag Processor suffices and happened to be right for this corpus.

Input `<p><a href=\"/a\">First</a> and <a href=\"/b\"><em>second</em> link</a></p>`; the second link expected text 'second link' but trial-3 produced 'second'.\n\nRoot cause: trial-3's text-collection loop used a STRICT depth guard, `$processor->next_token() && $processor->get_current_depth() > $depth_inside_a`, instead of the documented inclusive `>=`. The misconception is treating the anchor element's content depth as strictly less than every descendant token's depth. It is not: when the processor matches a CHILD element's CLOSING token, that child has already been popped from the stack of open elements, so the closer reports a depth EQUAL to the parent anchor's content depth. Probe confirms: with the A opener at depth 4, `<em>` opens at 5, 'second' #text at 6, then the `</em>` closer reports depth 4 — equal to the anchor. A `>` guard treats 4 as out-of-bounds and terminates the walk right there, before the subsequent ' ' and 'link' #text tokens (also depth 5) are seen. Result: 'second' with ' link' silently dropped. This is precisely the failure the docs predict. The other seven cases passed because none places a #text node AFTER a nested element's closer inside the link, so the early `>` exit never discards anything (single flat #text, image-only, or entity cases).\n\nThis is a documentation NON-failure: the rendered docs warn against the exact error in three separate places — html-processor.md next_token() example (lines 673-675: 'The `>=` comparison is required: `>` would end this walk at the first nested closer (`</strong>` reports the same depth as the LI's contents) and silently drop the trailing text'), the get_current_depth() method docblock (line 887: 'That equality is precisely why a subtree walk's guard must be `>=` — a `>` guard exits at the first child closer and drops everything after it'), and the canonical example itself uses `>=` (line 658). Trials 1 and 2 followed the documented recipe verbatim and passed 8/8. Trial-3 copied the recipe's shape but substituted `>`, and its own explanation rationalizes 'depth > opener depth' as deliberate — the warning was present but not internalized. The docs did the heavy lifting well: the LI text-collection example is nearly the same shape as this task (collect a link's text across nested inline markup), the decoded-vs-raw semantics of get_attribute and get_modifiable_text are stated, the true-for-valueless-attribute behavior is implied by get_attribute, and the synthesized-closer guarantee covers the unclosed-link case. No method was hallucinated in any trial.\n\nNear-miss in the passing trials: trial-1 omitted the create_fragment null-guard, which would only surface on a context that makes fragment creation fail (not exercised by these cases). Trial-2's self-confidence (60) was well below its actual correctness.",
+  "doc_gaps": [
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::next_token() — depth-bounded walk example (html-processor.md, lines ~653-676)",
+      "problem": "The `>=` requirement is explained correctly but the warning lives in a trailing comment AFTER the loop and in prose; a model skimming the loop header can copy the recipe's structure while substituting `>` (as trial-3 did) without ever reading the rationale. The guard's correctness is the single most error-prone line in the whole recipe yet visually it is just one operator inside a long while-condition.",
+      "suggestion": "Surface the constraint at the point of use: annotate the loop condition itself inline, e.g. `while ( $processor->next_token() && $processor->get_current_depth() >= $depth_inside_li ) { // `>=`, NOT `>`: child closers report the anchor's depth`. A one-line callout admonition ('Use `>=`, not `>`') immediately before the code block would also make the constraint impossible to skip when copying only the snippet."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::get_current_depth() docblock (html-processor.md, lines ~882-889)",
+      "problem": "The crucial fact — a child element's closing token reports a depth EQUAL to its parent's opening-token depth — is buried mid-paragraph in dense prose. The runnable example (lines 893-915) demonstrates depth dropping on closers but never shows the equality case for a NESTED child closing inside a still-open ancestor, which is exactly the configuration that breaks `>` guards.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short runnable assertion to the example that exercises a nested child inside a still-open parent and shows the child closer's depth equalling the parent's content depth (e.g. parse `<div><span>x</span>y</div>`, match DIV, then show the `</span>` closer reports the same depth as DIV's contents while `y` is still to come). Concretely demonstrating the equality, not just stating it, is what would stop a model from assuming strict inequality."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "General subtree-text-collection guidance (cross-cutting: next_token / get_current_depth)",
+      "problem": "Both the canonical example and this task involve the same operation — concatenate all #text inside an element that contains nested inline markup followed by trailing text. The docs describe the recipe but never name the failure mode in terms of WHAT input triggers it, so a reader who tests against flat-text links (which `>` handles fine) can ship the bug undetected. Seven of eight cases here would not have revealed it.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence naming the triggering shape explicitly: 'A `>` guard appears to work whenever the element's text is flat or precedes all nested markup; it only drops content when a #text node FOLLOWS a nested element's closer (e.g. `<a><em>x</em> y</a>`). Always use `>=`.' Tying the bug to a recognizable input pattern helps readers self-test and helps models reason about which test inputs would distinguish the two guards."

There are no misconceptions to attribute to documentation gaps. What the docs did well, and why this task succeeded so cleanly: (1) The 'Which processor should I use?' section (html-tag-processor.md:18-20) and the Breadcrumbs section (html-processor.md:48-72, plus the get_breadcrumbs method entry at :849) made the processor choice unambiguous — the task needs ancestor info, and the Tag Processor doc explicitly states get_breadcrumbs() does not exist there, steering all three subjects to WP_HTML_Processor. (2) The get_breadcrumbs example at html-processor.md:865 returns uppercase tag names AND shows the matched node as the final array element; this let subjects correctly compare against uppercase 'BLOCKQUOTE' and reason that a P node never collides. (3) html-processor.md:54 ('breadcrumbs will always contain implicit HTML/BODY') reassured subjects that ancestor presence is reliably reported regardless of fragment context — critical for the deep-ancestor and div-wrapped (mixed-document case b) cases. (4) The Usage quickstart at html-processor.md:42-44 (next_tag breadcrumbs query then add_class) modeled the exact walk-and-add-class idiom. (5) add_class is documented to preserve existing classes and whitespace (html-tag-processor.md:184-219, 'add_class ... preserve whitespace and the class ordering'), which directly explains why existing-class-preserved passed ('lead' -> 'lead quoted'). (6) The implicitly-closed-paragraphs and nested-blockquotes cases passed because subjects relied on the parser's structural awareness rather than manual nesting logic — the docs' emphasis on 'full structural awareness' (html-processor.md:81) gave them justified confidence. Near-misses in the explanations: trial-2 and trial-3 assert the parser handles 'whitespace preservation automatically' as part of the structural-awareness claim; that conflation is benign here but slightly overstates what structural awareness covers (whitespace preservation is a Tag-Processor lexical-update property, not a parse-tree property). None of the explanations mention that get_breadcrumbs includes the matched node itself as the last element, so the reference's array_slice(...,0,-1) refinement was missed by all three — a latent gap that would bite a task searching for an ancestor whose tag name equals the matched element's tag name (e.g. 'mark P inside another P').\"",

Depth guard uses `if (depth < table_depth) break;`, the break-form equivalent of the recommended `>= continue` (lines 889, 935) — correct and robust against synthesized TBODY/THEAD (lines 619, 884). Edge cases handled idiomatically: empty cell initialized to '' on opener and flushed on closer yields '' (matches the empty-region note at line 648); entities decoded once via get_modifiable_text and not re-decoded (line 2110). Minor non-idioms only: tracks a redundant $in_cell boolean alongside depth, and `! empty($current_row)` on the TR-closer flush would theoretically drop a legitimately empty row — untested, so no functional impact.

It abandons the documented single-pass recipe (html-processor.md:629-648) for three NESTED per-element sub-walks (outer TR, inner TD/TH, innermost #text), each guarded with strict `>`. The docs warn three times that the subtree guard must be `>=`, not `>` (lines 673-675, 886-889, 935). Both failures are this exact mistake: (1) thead-tbody — outer loop `get_current_depth() > $table_depth` (table_depth=3) exits when next_token lands on `/THEAD` at depth 3, dropping the entire TBODY (rows a,b), returning only [['H']]; (2) markup-in-cells — innermost cell-walk `> $cell_depth` (=6) exits at `</strong>` (depth 6) after collecting only 'bold', dropping ' text', returning 'bold'. Also `! empty($row)` would drop empty rows. The nested-walk structure is itself the anti-pattern the docs explicitly steer away from with 'one pass, no nested loops' (line 630). Confidence 75 was overstated."

Decodes once via get_modifiable_text. Loses points for non-idiomatic, fragile cell bookkeeping: instead of the clean closer-driven flush in the docs (line 648), it flushes $current_cell_text on TD-opener, TR-opener, TR-closer, AND TD-closer, with `!== ''` guards on the opener/TR paths. Probed it directly: empty cells in first, last, and all-empty positions all resolve correctly because the TD-closer branch flushes unconditionally; the `!== ''` fallbacks don't fire on the tested inputs. But the dual flush-on-opener-and-closer design is brittle and could double-count or mis-handle malformed input the suite doesn't probe.

Combined with a nested-sub-walk architecture, the strict `>` guard exits at the first closer that reports the anchor depth.\n\nCase `thead-tbody` (expected [['H'],['a'],['b']], got [['H']]): The subject's outer loop is `next_token() && get_current_depth() > $table_depth` with table_depth=3. The HTML5 parser synthesizes THEAD and TBODY (probe confirms THEAD/TBODY at depth 4, TR at 5). After the inner per-TR sub-walk consumes the THEAD's only TR, the outer loop's next next_token() lands on `/THEAD` at depth 3, which is not `> 3`, so the outer loop terminates and the entire TBODY (rows a, b) is never visited. The responsible passage is the get_current_depth() section (html-processor.md:886-889) and the next_token() subtree-walk note (lines 673-675, 935), all of which state the guard must be `>=` because a child element's closer reports a depth EQUAL to the anchor's opening-token depth; a `>` guard 'would end the walk early, at the first closer of a direct child.' The synthesized-TBODY behavior the subject tripped over is itself documented at lines 619 and 884. The docs were correct and specific; the subject did not apply the warning, partly because it chose a nested-loop shape the docs explicitly advise against ('one pass, no nested loops', line 630).\n\nCase `markup-in-cells` (expected [['bold text','link']], got [['bold']]): Same `>` vs `>=` error in the innermost cell-walk `next_token() && get_current_depth() > $cell_depth` with cell_depth=6 (the TD opener depth). Probe confirms: STRONG opens (depth 7), '#text bold' (depth 8), then `</STRONG>` reports depth 6 — not `> 6` — so the cell-walk exits after only 'bold', dropping the subsequent ' ' and 'text' #text tokens (which sit at depth 7). The exact failure mode is spelled out in the get_modifiable_text LI example at lines 673-675: '`>` would end this walk at the first nested closer (`</strong>` reports the same depth as the LI's contents) and silently drop the trailing text.' The subject's case is structurally identical to that documented example yet hit the documented trap.\n\nThe docs did well: the canonical flat-walk recipe (lines 629-648), the LI text-collection example (lines 652-676), and the get_current_depth narrative (lines 884-889) each independently would have prevented both failures. Trials 1 and 3 succeeded precisely because they used the flat single-pass break-form (`depth < anchor`) instead of nested `>` guards. The near-miss in trial 2's explanation is telling: it claims the approach 'handles ... optional TBODY/THEAD wrappers correctly' — the subject understood synthesized wrappers exist but did not connect that to the depth-equality edge that its `>` guard mishandles.",
+  "doc_gaps": [
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::get_current_depth() and next_token() — subtree-walk guidance",
+      "problem": "The correct `>=` (continue) / `< anchor` (break) guard is documented prominently, but the WRONG forms — strict `>` continue and nested per-element sub-walks — remain a recurring trap. Trial 2 implemented exactly the anti-pattern: nested sub-walks each guarded with `>`, which exits at the first child closer (depth == anchor) and silently drops siblings and trailing text. The prose says `>=` is required but the reader who reaches for `>` has no example showing the concrete data loss for a NESTED-loop design, only for the single flat loop.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a short explicit anti-example next to the existing LI recipe: show a nested two-level walk (outer container, inner sub-walk) using `>` and annotate the dropped tokens, contrasting it with the documented single flat pass. State as a general rule: 'Prefer one flat next_token() pass guarded by `>=` over nested sub-walks; nested walks with `>` guards lose every token from the first child closer onward, including sibling subtrees and any text following a nested element's closer.'"
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::next_token() — implied/synthesized table structure (around html-processor.md:619)",
+      "problem": "The doc correctly states TBODY is synthesized and adds a depth level, but does not warn that a depth/breadcrumb walk anchored on TABLE will therefore see TR at anchor+2 (not anchor+1), and that a closer (`/THEAD`, `/TBODY`) reports exactly the anchor depth — the precise value that breaks a `>` guard between sibling section groups (THEAD then TBODY). Trial 2 lost the entire TBODY this way.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence and a depth annotation: 'When walking a TABLE, rows live two levels below the TABLE opener (TABLE > TBODY/THEAD > TR), and each synthesized section's closing token reports the TABLE's own depth. A walk that continues only while depth is strictly greater than the TABLE depth will stop at the first section closer and miss later sections; use `>=` (or break on `< table_depth`).' A tiny depth-labeled token trace of `<table><thead>…</thead><tbody>…` would make this unmissable."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::get_modifiable_text() — text split by inline markup",
+      "problem": "The section explains decoding and the carried-on-element exception for SCRIPT/STYLE/TEXTAREA/TITLE, but does not explicitly state the common case that a single cell/paragraph's visible text arrives as MULTIPLE #text tokens when inline markup splits it (e.g. `<td><strong>bold</strong> text</td>` yields separate 'bold' and ' text' tokens at differing depths). Trial 2's cell-walk stopped after the first #text segment. Readers may assume one element yields one text token.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a one-line note in the get_modifiable_text or token-walk recipe: 'A single element's visible text may span several #text tokens when inline markup (e.g. STRONG, A) interrupts it; concatenate every #text token within the element's subtree to reconstruct the full text.' The existing 'Buy <strong>milk</strong> today.' LI example already demonstrates this — cross-reference it here explicitly as the multi-segment case."

No hallucinated/undocumented API: create_fragment, next_token, get_token_type, get_modifiable_text, serialize_token, and static WP_HTML_Processor::normalize are all documented; htmlspecialchars is a PHP builtin (30/30). The weakness is idiomaticity: instead of using serialize_token() for #text nodes it hand-rolls re-encoding with htmlspecialchars(ENT_QUOTES, UTF-8) and then re-parses the whole emitted string through normalize() — a redundant double-parse where serialize_token already yields the canonical text encoding. This works on these cases but is not the documented pattern and is fragile: HTML5 text serialization only escapes &, <, > (and via context), whereas ENT_QUOTES also encodes quotes and apostrophes, so text containing a literal quote would diverge from canonical output; only the test selection saved it. Docked idiomatic-use (16/25). Edge cases pass but for the wrong reason on text encoding (12/15). Passed 8/8 but lowest self-confidence (35), consistent with the convoluted approach."

Edge cases all handled through documented semantics (15/15), minus a hair for returning $html on null processor instead of '' (-3).

+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed: all three trials passed 8/8 with no _doing_it_wrong or trigger_error records. The documentation supported this task well, and the success is attributable to specific passages. (1) The serialize_token() docblock (html-processor.md ~line 1047-1076) is the load-bearing passage: it explicitly states that walking every token with next_token and concatenating serialize_token reconstructs the normalized serialization, and that 'a rewriting loop can transform the document while serializing... or emit extra markup around them to insert wrappers.' This is precisely the mark-wrapping task, and all three subjects landed on it. (2) The next_token() / get_token_type() / get_modifiable_text() docs gave subjects the decoded-vs-raw distinction needed for the entity-encoded case (get_modifiable_text returns 'Apples & Oranges' / 'Fish & Chips' decoded), the comment/attribute non-match cases (only '#text' tokens carry node text; attribute and comment content are not #text), and the split-across-elements no-match (each text node is a separate token). (3) The normalize() docblock's bullet list (omitted tags added, attributes double-quoted, text re-encoded) gave subjects the normalization contract for the unclosed-tag and &AMP; cases.\\n\\nNear-misses worth noting: Trial-2 is the only one that did not simply trust serialize_token for text nodes — it re-encoded text with htmlspecialchars and then re-normalized the entire emitted string with WP_HTML_Processor::normalize(). It passed, but only because none of the eight cases contains a literal quote or apostrophe inside a text node, where ENT_QUOTES encoding diverges from HTML5 text serialization. The docs never explicitly say 'do not hand-encode text node content; serialize_token already emits canonical text,' so this avoidable detour was not actively discouraged. The subject's own low confidence (35) reflects the uncertainty. Trials 1 and 3 also both diverge from the reference's null-processor return ('' ) by returning $html; the create_fragment() docblock documents that null is returned for unsupported contexts but does not illustrate what a caller should return in the trivial pass-through case, leaving the contract ambiguous — though untested here since BODY fragments never return null.\"",

+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::serialize_token() (html-processor.md, ~line 1047)",
+      "problem": "The docblock explains that serialize_token reconstructs the normalized serialization and supports wrapping, but it never states the corollary that text-node content emitted by serialize_token is already canonically encoded, so callers must NOT hand-encode text (e.g. with htmlspecialchars) before or instead of it. Trial-2 built a fragile double-parse around htmlspecialchars(ENT_QUOTES) that only passed by luck of the test data.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence to the serialize_token rewriting-loop section: 'For a #text token, serialize_token() already returns the canonically-escaped text; do not re-encode it yourself (e.g. with htmlspecialchars), which would over-escape characters like quotes that HTML text serialization leaves literal.' This generalizes to any token-rewriting task."

This is the crux of the keyword-in-comment and keyword-in-attribute cases. It is currently only implicit in the examples; nothing states plainly which content is and is not reachable via the #text + get_modifiable_text pattern.",
+      "suggestion": "In get_token_type() or the token-walk recipe, add a short enumeration: '#text tokens carry only character-data between tags. Attribute values, comment bodies, and CDATA-like content are NOT #text tokens — match on the relevant token type and use the appropriate accessor (e.g. get_modifiable_text on a comment token, get_attribute on a tag) to read them.'"

Two of three trials returned the original $html on null while the reference returns '', an inconsistency the docs do not help resolve.",

This task is a near-ideal fit for what the tag-processor doc teaches, and the docs did the heavy lifting.\\n\\nWhat the docs did well:\\n- The set_bookmark section explicitly documents the exact pattern this task requires: \\\"A common use: to remember 'the last matching tag' in a single pass, re-set the same bookmark name on every match, then seek to it once after the scan completes,\\\" backed by a worked last-li example and the statement that re-setting a name MOVES the bookmark without leaking or requiring release. All three subjects reproduced this idiom faithfully rather than inventing reverse-iteration or counting passes.\\n- The 'Which processor should I use?' section steered subjects to the Tag Processor for byte-exact attribute work; none reached for the HTML Processor, which would be overkill and risks normalization.\\n- next_tag's matching contract (\\\"Only real HTML tags can match. Tag-like text inside comments ... is text, not tags\\\") directly explains the comment-h2-not-counted pass; subjects correctly trusted the parser instead of hand-rolling comment skipping.\\n- add_class semantics (\\\"adding ... is a safe operation that doesn't require checking if the attribute or class exists\\\") and the worked examples showing class merge explain the existing-class pass (outro -> outro final-section).\\n- get_updated_html is clearly documented as the way to read output after queued edits, and the add_class return-value note explicitly says \\\"There is no need to inspect it in the usual add-then-get_updated_html() flow,\\\" which kept subjects from over-checking return values.\\n\\nNear-misses in the explanations / reasoning (not failures):\\n- Trials 1 and 3 added an is_tag_closer() guard inside the next_tag('h2') loop. This is dead code: next_tag defaults to tag_closers => 'skip' (verified via probe: next_tag('h2') visits openers only). The next_tag parameter table does document this default, but the default is buried inside a long inline @type blob ('tag_closers \\\"visit\\\" or \\\"skip\\\" (default)') rather than called out, so two of three subjects defensively guarded against closers that never appear. No functional impact, but it indicates the default is under-communicated in the tag-processor doc (the HTML-processor doc, by contrast, explicitly states 'only openers are visited' for its next_tag).\\n- Trial 1 also released and re-set the bookmark on every iteration, missing the documented fact that re-setting a name moves the existing bookmark in place. Again harmless, but a sign the 'moves, does not leak' guarantee could be surfaced more prominently.\"",

The WP_HTML_Processor::normalize() docblock (html-processor.md, \"normalize()\" section, lines 945-995) is what made this task a near-one-liner for every subject. It explicitly enumerates the exact equivalences the task hinges on: \"Attribute values will be double-quoted\" (covers quoting-styles-equal and whitespace-in-tag-equal), \"Omitted tags will be added\" (implied-closers-equal), \"Tag and attribute name casing will be lower-cased\" (tag-case-equal), \"Text will be re-encoded\" (entity-spellings-equal), and \"Any incomplete syntax trailing at the end will be omitted\" plus the documented \"or null if unable to normalize\" return contract (drives the false return for the unsupported misnesting case). The worked examples in that section show real before/after strings, which let subjects confirm that comparing two normalized strings answers \"same DOM?\" directly. The class-level \"HTML Support\" section (lines 84-92) also explicitly names mis-nested formatting elements like \"<b>one<i>two</b>three</i>\" as a construct that causes the processor to abort, and the surrounding prose (line 85) states that \"methods which produce output (such as serialize() and normalize()) return null\" when the parser bails. That single sentence pre-answers the trickiest hidden case (misnesting-unsupported-false): subjects knew normalize() yields null on that input, so the null->false guard handles it without any subject needing to reason about adoption-agency mechanics.\\n\\nNear-misses worth noting: (1) None of the three explanations mention that attribute ORDER is preserved by normalization (the attribute-order-differs case expects false). The docs do not state this property of normalize() anywhere; subjects got it right by luck of normalize() preserving source order rather than by documented knowledge. Every explanation lists the properties normalize() changes but is silent on what it preserves, so the attribute-order distinction was never reasoned about explicitly. (2) The E_USER_NOTICE emitted on the misnesting case (\\\"Cannot serialize HTML Processor with parsing error: unsupported.\\\") surfaces from normalize()'s internal serialize() call. The normalize() docblock says nothing about side-effect notices on unsupported input; a subject building a noise-sensitive caller would have been surprised.

Skips both opener and closer via a single get_tag()===SPAN/continue, exactly as the doc comment notes 'Skips both the opener and the closer' (25/25). Edge cases: unclosed-span auto-closed by the parser, null-attr/decoded-text handled implicitly by serialize_token; did not need get_token_type because get_tag() returns null on non-tag tokens (documented, L1772) so 'SPAN'===null is safe (13/15).

The documentation is the decisive cause of this clean sweep.\n\nWhat the docs did well: The serialize_token() docblock (html-processor.md L1047-1076) is an almost-perfect template for this task. It (a) states the core invariant — 'Walking every token... and concatenating serialize_token() for each one reconstructs the normalized serialization of the input' — which directly answers the normalization requirement; (b) spells out the rewriting-loop use case 'skip tokens to remove them'; (c) explicitly warns 'Closing tokens of skipped elements must be skipped too'; and (d) ships a worked example 'Remove every SUP element but keep its contents' whose body is structurally identical to the required answer (create_fragment -> while next_token -> if 'SUP'===get_tag() continue -> else $output .= serialize_token()). All three subjects recognized this as the matching recipe and substituted SPAN for SUP. The example's comment 'Skips both the opener and the closer' preempted the most likely bug (forgetting to drop the close tag), and the get_tag() docblock's documented null return on non-tag tokens (L1763, L1772) made the get_token_type() guard unnecessary without anyone tripping over a false 'SPAN'===null match.\n\nCoverage of the harder cases came for free from the documented contract: 'fully-normative HTML string' / 'normalized serialization' covers the &AMP;->&amp; re-encoding and optional-tag closing (no-spans-normalized-passthrough), attribute double-quoting, and discarding skipped-span attributes (attributes-discarded — attributes vanish because the whole SPAN token is skipped). The unclosed-span case passed because create_fragment's documented 'full structural awareness' (html-processor.md L81) auto-closes the dangling span; subjects relied on this implicitly.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations (no functional impact): trial-1 mislabels the exact === comparison as 'case-insensitive'; none of the three explicitly connect the unclosed-span / optional-tag-closing results to the parser's structural awareness, instead attributing all normalization vaguely to serialize_token(). These are explanatory imprecision, not API misuse. The only latent fragility is that, following the doc example, all three omit the get_token_type()==='#tag' guard present in the reference. It is safe here, but a doc reader cannot tell from the serialize_token example alone *why* it is safe (that get_tag() is null for text/comments) — that fact lives in a different section.\"",

 Hypothesis → outcome narrative, one entry per round. Newest first.
 
+## Round 17 — Haiku, hold round (no edits): campaign-best score
+
+**Train 98.93 — the highest of the campaign, with ZERO doc changes.**
+44/45 trials passed every hidden case (one T08 7/8). The hold round
+measures the noise floor: the documentation in its current state
+sustains ~98–99 on pure re-sampling. Judge gap lists are reduced to
+re-statements of already-documented facts in alternate locations.
+
+Campaign stopped here at Jon's instruction (goal cleared after the
+session-limit pause). Final state: 17 evaluated rounds, 24 doc
+hypothesis commits, all train-driven, all execution-verified.
+Held-out trajectory across checkpoints: 87.38 → 88.69 → 88.79 →
+91.04 → 90.79 — improvement achieved purely through generalization,
+never by editing for held-out failures.
+
 ## Round 16 — Haiku, three concepts at 100; entering hold-round protocol

All three converged on the reference implementation byte-for-byte in substance (new WP_HTML_Tag_Processor, drain with `while ($p->next_token()) {}`, return `$p->paused_at_incomplete_token()`).\n\nWhy the docs succeeded here: html-tag-processor.md contains a near-verbatim worked example of the exact required pattern. The `paused_at_incomplete_token()` section (lines 1015-1047) does three things well that prevented every plausible mistake: (1) line 1031 explicitly warns \"In a longer document, drain all tokens first; this method reports the state at the point scanning stopped\" — this directly heads off the common error of calling the method after a single next_tag()/next_token() rather than after exhausting the stream; (2) lines 1033-1038 give the complete drain-loop idiom verbatim; (3) the short example at lines 1026-1028 shows the truncated-attribute case (`<input type=\"text\" value=\"Th`) which generalizes to the cut-inside-attribute test case. The method's one-line summary (line 1021, \"ended in the middle of a syntax element, such as in the middle of a tag\") correctly frames the lexical-vs-structural distinction that the task's note about `<div>text` being \"structurally unclosed but lexically complete\" depends on — and the API itself returns false for that case, so subjects didn't even need to reason about it.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: none materially wrong. Trial-1's explanation says \"When next_token() returns false, it either means the document is fully parsed or the processor paused at an incomplete token\" — this is a slight oversimplification (next_token() also returns false at clean end-of-input, and on a true empty-string / no-more-tokens condition that is NOT an incomplete token), but the subject correctly relied on paused_at_incomplete_token() to disambiguate rather than treating a false return from next_token() as itself signifying truncation, so the code is correct. All three subjects correctly understood that the loop must run to completion before the check is meaningful, which is the single load-bearing insight and the one the docs spell out at line 1031.\n\nNote: the trailing-lt-is-text case (\"ends with <\") and the unclosed-element-is-complete case (\"<div>unclosed element\") are the two that would trip a naive hand-rolled detector, but no subject hand-rolled detection — they all delegated to the API, which returns the correct answer. The docs deserve credit for making delegation the obvious path (the worked example IS the whole solution) rather than tempting subjects into manual string inspection.",

+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::paused_at_incomplete_token() (html-tag-processor.md, lines 1015-1047)",
+      "problem": "The doc demonstrates that the method returns true for truncated input but never states the converse boundary cases that distinguish 'lexically incomplete' from 'structurally unclosed'. A reader cannot tell from the docblock alone that a trailing lone '<' (treated as text), an unclosed-but-whole element like '<div>text', or an empty string all return false. The task's subjects got these right only because they delegated to the API blindly; a reader trying to reason about behavior or validate it has no documented anchor.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one or two lines clarifying that the method reports LEXICAL completeness of the final token only, not structural/tree completeness: e.g. 'Returns false when every token is whole even if elements remain unclosed (`<div>text` is complete; `<div class=\"` is not), and false for a trailing bare `<`, which is parsed as text, and for empty input.' This generalizes beyond this task and prevents readers from conflating the two notions of 'incomplete'."

+      "location": "WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::next_token() return-value semantics (html-tag-processor.md, ~line 962-997)",
+      "problem": "The docs do not explicitly state that next_token() returning false is ambiguous between 'reached clean end of input' and 'paused at an incomplete token'. Trial-1's explanation revealed this gap by asserting a false return 'either means the document is fully parsed or the processor paused at an incomplete token' — the subject inferred the disambiguation correctly, but the docblock for next_token() itself never says you must consult paused_at_incomplete_token() to tell the two apart.",
+      "suggestion": "In the next_token() Returns section, add a sentence: 'A false return does not by itself indicate truncation — it is returned both at a clean end of input and when the input ends mid-token. Call paused_at_incomplete_token() to distinguish the two.' This cross-link makes the relationship explicit for any failure-handling code path."

+  "failure_analysis": "No failures: all three trials passed all 7 hidden cases. This task is a near-ideal match for what the docs cover, so the analysis is of what the docs did well and the near-misses in subject reasoning.\n\nWhat the docs did well (and directly caused success):\n1. The 'abort early' contract is stated in one prominent place (html-processor.md lines 84-85): unsupported markup aborts and 'methods which produce output (such as serialize() and normalize()) return null.' This single sentence gave every subject the exact failure-detection mechanism the task asks for, so all three correctly mapped 'normalization not possible' to a null return rather than guessing at exceptions, booleans, or empty strings.\n2. The 'Only specific constructs cause it to abort' list (lines 87-92) names the precise failure class in the task ('Mis-nested formatting elements whose reconstruction would require advancing and rewinding') AND ships the literal test input <b>one<i>two</b>three</i> as its example, while contrasting it with single-pass misnesting <b><i>x</b></i> that IS supported. This is why no subject was tempted to treat all malformed input as un-normalizable (which would have failed the unclosed-true and well-formed-table-true cases).\n3. Both entry points are documented with matching null semantics: normalize() (static, line 945, returns 'Normalized output, or null if unable to normalize') and serialize() (instance, line 997). The note at line 954 explicitly tells readers to use create_fragment()+serialize() as the alternative — which is exactly what trials 2 and 3 did. Having both paths documented meant the divergence in subject approach still landed on correct, idiomatic code.\n4. The table example in normalize() (line 977, '<div></p>fun<table><td>cell</div>' normalizing successfully) reinforced that malformed-but-normalizable input returns a string, supporting the well-formed-table-true case.\n\nNear-misses / minor reasoning gaps in the explanations (none affected results):\n- Trials 2 and 3 both assert that serialize() 'returns null when ... creation fails or serialization returns null.' They guard create_fragment() against null, but create_fragment() returns null only for invalid/unsupported CONTEXT nodes, not for un-normalizable body content (verified by probe: the misnested input still creates a processor; the null appears only at serialize()). The docs never spell out WHEN create_fragment() returns null versus when serialize() does, so the subjects defensively guarded both. Harmless here, but it reflects a genuine doc ambiguity: a subject could mistakenly believe create_fragment() itself rejects un-normalizable markup.\n- Trial-2's explanation says serialize() returns null 'when unsupported markup is encountered (like mis-nested formatting elements) and aborts,' attributing the abort to serialize(); in fact the abort can occur during parsing/scanning and serialize() merely surfaces it. The docs (lines 84-85) describe the abort as happening on 'HTML input' generally, which is accurate, but the timing relationship between create/scan/serialize is left implicit. No functional consequence.\n- The internal trigger_error on the adoption-agency case ('Cannot serialize HTML Processor with parsing error: unsupported.') is intrinsic to serialize()/normalize() and is produced by the canonical reference too (verified by probe); it is not a _doing_it_wrong against any candidate and carries no adherence penalty.\"",

The task hinges on one concept — that \"what counts as an HTML img element is defined by how browsers parse the markup\" — and the documentation supported every subject in getting it right, mostly without their needing to fully understand WHY.\n\nWhat the docs did well: (1) The 'Which processor should I use?' section in html-tag-processor.md and the HTML Support overview in html-processor.md clearly steered all subjects to the HTML Processor for structure/namespace-sensitive work; nobody reached for the Tag Processor or DOMDocument. (2) create_fragment's documented '<body>' default context is exactly what the task needs, and all three used it without fiddling with the context argument. (3) The get_attribute return-value contract (string|true|null, with the explicit null=absent / true=boolean / ''=empty distinction and the 'values are returned DECODED' note) gave every subject the precise tool to satisfy 'skip images with no src or whose src has no value' and the 'decoded src' requirement — all three implemented the null/true/'' filter correctly. (4) get_namespace is documented to return one of 'html','math','svg', which let the subjects who reached for a namespace guard write it correctly.\n\nThe key near-miss in the subjects' UNDERSTANDING, not caught because the tests don't probe it: all three believed their get_namespace() guard was load-bearing for excluding SVG <image>. In reality next_tag('IMG') already excludes it — a probe confirms that <svg><image> parses to a token whose tag name is IMAGE in the svg namespace, never matching a query for IMG, while genuinely-HTML cases (<image> promoted to img in body context, and <img> breaking out of <svg>) DO match with namespace 'html'. The reference solution omits the namespace check entirely and passes. So the subjects arrived at correct, robust code via a slightly wrong mental model: they assumed next_tag('IMG') might surface foreign-content image elements and defended against it. The defense is harmless (and arguably good hygiene), but the docs never state the crucial fact that resolves the ambiguity: that next_tag matches by the parser's adjusted/namespaced tag name, so a tag-name query inherently scopes to HTML elements and an SVG <image> is a different element that won't match an IMG query. This is the one place where better docs would have replaced a lucky-but-correct guess with genuine understanding.\"",

Nothing tells the reader that next_tag('IMG') matches only HTML img elements, while an SVG <image> is a distinct element (tag name IMAGE, namespace svg) that such a query never matches. All three subjects compensated with a get_namespace() guard they believed was necessary; it is in fact redundant, indicating the namespace/tag-name relationship is under-documented.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a sentence to next_tag's $tag_name description noting that matching uses the parser's namespaced tag name: a tag-name query is implicitly scoped to the HTML namespace, so foreign-content elements like SVG <image> or <a> are not matched by a query for their HTML look-alikes. Cross-reference get_namespace() and note that to find foreign-content elements one must inspect get_namespace()/get_tag() while walking, since the same source spelling can yield different namespaced elements (e.g. <image> becomes HTML img in body but stays svg:image inside <svg>)."

+      "suggestion": "Add a short worked example to get_namespace (and/or get_tag) showing the same spelled element resolving to different (tag, namespace) pairs by context: e.g. body-context <image> -> get_tag()==='IMG', get_namespace()==='html'; inside <svg>, <image> -> get_tag()==='IMAGE', get_namespace()==='svg'.

These are precisely the behaviors the task warns about ('not always how it is spelled in the source').",

Keep it general (the principle and a couple of illustrative cases), not a solution to any specific task."

This single example directly drove the correct call.\n- ASCII case-insensitive matching is stated explicitly in the @type doc for $tag_name (line 952), so subjects correctly trusted lowercase 'img' to match the uppercase <IMG> case rather than hand-rolling case normalization. The explanations all cite this.\n- add_class()'s contract (lines 2243-2247, plus the whitespace/ordering-preservation note at line 328) gave subjects confidence that existing classes are preserved and appended-to, covering the existing-classes case without any manual class-string manipulation.\n- get_updated_html()'s byte-preservation guarantee (line 2299) reassured subjects that everything else is preserved verbatim, covering unquoted-attributes and the comment-ignored case.\n- The comment/incomplete-input edge cases passed implicitly because the Tag Processor never surfaces comment contents or an unfinished trailing tag as a matched tag; no subject had to reason about these explicitly and none broke them.\n\nNear-misses in explanations: none material. The explanations are accurate. The only mild imprecision: trials assert comments are 'never matched by next_tag as documented,' but the markdown does not contain an explicit statement that comment contents are skipped — subjects inferred this correctly from the parser model rather than from a cited passage.

Line 937 states tag-name matching is ASCII case-insensitive and preserves source casing in output — this single sentence guaranteed both the lowercase-query trials (2, 3) and the uppercase-attribute test case (HREF preserved) passed. Without it a subject might have lowercased the source or skipped <IMG>-style tags.\n\n- get_attribute(): the signature string|true|null (line 1472), the example showing $p->get_attribute('enabled') === true for a valueless attribute and === null for an absent one (lines 1483-1484), the prose 'may return \\\"\\\" (the empty string) ... when the attribute was present but its value was empty' (line 89), and the Returns note 'Boolean attributes return true' (line 1505) together fully specify the three href states the task hinges on (href=\\\"\\\" → '', <a href> → true, no href → null). Every trial's null !== guard is the direct, correct reading of this contract. This is the part of the task most likely to trip a subject, and the docs neutralized it.\n\n- set_attribute(): line 156 documents that calling it on an existing attribute overwrites the value, which covers the existing-target-overwritten case directly.\n\n- get_updated_html(): line 2299 promises byte-for-byte preservation of untouched bytes ('no re-encoding, normalization, or reformatting'), matching the task's preservation requirement and the nested-markup case.\n\n- Comment / non-tag text: line 939 explicitly states tag-like text inside comments, CDATA-like sections, and raw-text elements 'is text, not tags, and is never matched or modified.' This directly covers the inside-comment-ignored case, which otherwise looks like it could fail.\n\nNear-misses in explanations (not affecting correctness): trial-2's explanation under-describes get_attribute()'s return type, claiming it returns 'null if absent or a string (possibly empty) if present,' dropping the true case for valueless attributes. The code is unaffected because the guard is null !== $href and true is non-null, but a subject reasoning from that incomplete mental model could have written if ('' === $href || ... ) style logic and broken the valueless case.

The only near-miss in the responses is robustness, not correctness: trials 1 and 3 omit the create_fragment null check, mirroring the docs' own example which also omits it (L655); a null return (documented at L384 as static|null) would have caused a fatal, but the corpus never exercises that path so it stayed latent.",
+  "doc_gaps": [
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment() — example usage in next_token() recipe (html-processor.md ~L652-655) and the depth-walk recipe block",
+      "problem": "The worked recipe and the inline example call ->next_tag() directly on the result of create_fragment() without checking for the documented null return. Two of three subjects copied this and omitted the guard, leaving a latent fatal error on malformed/unsupported input even though the method's Returns section documents static|null.",
+      "suggestion": "Add the null guard to the recipe example itself (e.g. `$processor = WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment( $html ); if ( null === $processor ) { return; }`) and a one-line note that create_fragment returns null for unparseable input or unsupported context/encoding, so callers should guard before invoking instance methods. Fixing the canonical example propagates correct robustness to copied code."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::get_modifiable_text() (html-processor.md ~L2099)",
+      "problem": "The method-level docblock describes the return as decoded text only indirectly; subjects relied on the recipe annotation (L669) and on inference rather than a definitive statement at the method heading that character references are decoded. This worked here but leaves the decoded-vs-raw distinction implicit at the place a reader looks up the method.",
+      "suggestion": "State explicitly in the get_modifiable_text() method docblock that the returned string has character references decoded (e.g. '&amp;' -> '&') and is decoded UTF-8, with a one-line contrast to any raw/source-text accessor, so the guarantee is discoverable without reading a downstream recipe."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "next_token() recipe — special-content elements note (html-processor.md ~L623)",
+      "problem": "The note that SCRIPT/STYLE/TITLE/TEXTAREA carry their text on the element token and produce no #text children is correct and well-placed, but it lives only in the prose recipe. A reader who jumps straight to get_modifiable_text() or get_token_type() would not see that the collect-#text pattern silently returns '' for these elements.",
+      "suggestion": "Cross-reference this exception from the get_modifiable_text() method docblock (a single 'See: special elements such as SCRIPT/STYLE/TITLE/TEXTAREA — read their text on the opening tag, they have no #text children' line), so the caveat is reachable from the method a text-extraction author lands on."

It hands subjects the exact recipe: write a literal template with empty-valued attributes so set_attribute preserves written order, include placeholder text so a #text node exists for set_modifiable_text, walk next_token() to find that #text node, and read out with get_updated_html(). All three subjects lifted this pattern almost verbatim, which is why they all matched the reference. The section's explicit warning that ADDED attributes are sorted by name (not call order) steered every subject to put src and alt in the template, satisfying the strict attribute-order requirement.\n- The encoding edge cases passed because of two well-placed statements: get_attribute's note that 'The inverse holds for set_attribute, which accepts plain, unescaped values and encodes them as needed,' and the template example's closing comment '...with every value safely encoded.' Subjects trusted the API to encode &, quotes, and angle brackets rather than hand-escaping — exactly what the ampersand/quotes/angle-bracket/script cases test. None double-encoded.\n- The 'Which processor should I use?' guidance (lines 18-25) plus the Tag-vs-HTML framing made the Tag Processor the obvious choice for flat attribute+text edits; no subject reached for the heavier HTML Processor, breadcrumbs, or serialize_token where they were unnecessary.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations (not failures):\n- Trial 1 added a redundant next_tag('figcaption') before the token walk. It works only because the figcaption text is the first #text token after the void IMG; in a template with leading text or text in another element this guard would not isolate the caption. The explanation describes it as 'finds the figcaption element, locates its text node' — slightly overstating that the walk is scoped to figcaption, when in fact next_token() after a next_tag match simply continues forward through the whole document.\n- Trials 2 and 3 walk tokens with no guard scoping the search to figcaption at all; they rely on the caption being the only/first text node in the hand-written template. Correct here, but the explanations present 'find the #text node inside figcaption' as if the loop targets figcaption specifically, when nothing in the code binds the walk to that element. This latent fragility is invisible because the input template is fully controlled.\n- Trial 3's confidence (72) is poorly calibrated against an essentially perfect, reference-equivalent solution (trials 1/2 reported 92). Not a doc gap, but worth noting the docs gave no signal that would lower confidence.",

For any template with more than one text node this pattern silently edits the wrong one.",

+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden cases failed in any trial: all three trials passed 9/9 with zero _doing_it_wrong and zero trigger_error records. This is a documentation success case, so the analysis is what the docs did well and where near-misses were avoided.\n\nThe task hinges on four facts, each directly and correctly supplied by the docs the subjects saw:\n\n1. SCRIPT/STYLE contents are NOT #text tokens (cases script-excluded). html-processor.md:623 states verbatim: 'elements whose contents cannot contain markup (SCRIPT, STYLE, TITLE, TEXTAREA) produce NO #text child tokens at all.' All three candidates relied on the plain '#text' filter to drop script content, and all three explanations correctly cite this. I probed the harness and confirmed '<script>var x=1;</script>' yields 'beforeafter'. The docs prevented the most likely failure mode (manually skipping SCRIPT/STYLE, or worse, including their text).\n\n2. get_modifiable_text() returns DECODED text and must not be decoded again (cases entities-count-decoded). html-processor.md:2111 and html-tag-processor.md:1838 both state references are already replaced ('&amp;' -> '&') and warn 'Do not decode it again.' Every candidate accumulated raw get_modifiable_text() without a second html_entity_decode, so 'Fish & Chips' counted '&' as one codepoint and truncated to 'Fish &' correctly.\n\n3. Codepoint-accurate slicing requires an explicit UTF-8 encoding (cases multibyte-emoji, accented). The same passages append: 'The returned string is UTF-8; when measuring or slicing by code points pass an explicit encoding, e.g. mb_strlen($text, \"UTF-8\")'. All three candidates passed 'UTF-8' explicitly to mb_substr/mb_strlen. This near-miss (relying on mbstring's default internal encoding, which is not guaranteed UTF-8) was averted by the inline example; the emoji case 'ab🌨️' (a grapheme of 2 codepoints) truncated to 4 codepoints correctly because counting was codepoint-based, not grapheme-based, matching the spec.\n\n4. next_token() walks to end of document unless bounded (cases malformed-nesting, interelement-whitespace). html-processor.md:625 notes the walk runs to end of document if unguarded — exactly the behavior needed here (collect ALL text). Candidates used the bare 'while(next_token())' loop. The malformed '<div><p>one<p>two</div>tail' case worked because the processor's structural reconstruction emits the text tokens in document order regardless of the broken nesting, and inter-element whitespace '<p>a</p> <p>b</p>' yields a literal ' ' #text token between the paragraphs — the spec's 'do not collapse whitespace' requirement is satisfied for free because the parser reports that whitespace as its own text node.\n\nNear-misses in explanations: Trial 1's redundant 'if mb_strlen > max' guard reflects a slight misunderstanding that mb_substr might over-truncate when the string is shorter than the limit; it does not, so the guard is dead but harmless. Trial 2 reimplemented truncation as incremental per-node accounting, which is correct but adds boundary-slicing logic the documented one-shot pattern makes unnecessary. None of these affected correctness.\n\nOne latent edge the test set does not exercise: an element's text can be split across multiple consecutive #text tokens (html-processor.md:621). All candidates accumulate (+=) rather than overwrite, so they would handle that correctly, but it was never tested here.\"",

+      "problem": "The 'collect every #text token in document order' pattern — the exact shape this whole class of plain-text-extraction tasks needs — is present only implicitly across an exception note (SCRIPT/STYLE produce no #text) and a get_token_type example fragment. There is no single named, copy-pasteable 'extract all text content' recipe. Subjects had to assemble it from three scattered passages; they succeeded, but a more complex variant (with the split-#text-token caveat baked in) could trip a weaker model.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one short, self-contained 'Extract a document's plain text' example near get_modifiable_text: a bare while(next_token()) loop that appends get_modifiable_text() on every '#text' token, with a one-line comment noting (a) SCRIPT/STYLE/TITLE/TEXTAREA contribute nothing through this loop and (b) text accumulates with += because one element's text may span several #text tokens.

A reader could pass UTF-8 to mb_strlen but forget it on mb_substr, or omit it entirely and rely on the ambient internal encoding. The note also does not warn that the default mbstring internal encoding is not guaranteed to be UTF-8, only that the returned string is UTF-8.",
+      "suggestion": "Broaden the inline example to explicitly cover slicing as well as measuring, e.g. 'mb_substr($text, 0, $n, \"UTF-8\")', and add a half-sentence stating that omitting the explicit encoding falls back to mb_internal_encoding(), which is not reliably UTF-8 — so always pass it.

The documentation is the cause of the clean sweep, not luck. The key passage is the worked example in html-processor.md next_token() (lines 652-668): 'Collect the text content of the first LI element' demonstrates the exact required pattern — record get_current_depth() at a matched opener, loop `while next_token() && get_current_depth() >= $depth`, accumulate get_modifiable_text() from #text tokens — and its inline comments preemptively explain three of the eight test cases: nested-element closers report a depth no lower than the container's contents so the loop continues through them (covers the `simple` case with nested <em>), unclosed elements still produce closing tokens at end of input (covers `unclosed-link`), and the accumulated string is decoded UTF-8 (covers `entities-in-text`). Supporting passages closed the remaining gaps: get_attribute returning null for absent / true for valueless / decoded string otherwise (html-tag-processor.md lines 89-90, 1483-1490) drove no-href-excluded, valueless-href, and entity-in-href-decoded; get_modifiable_text's decoded-text contract with the literal 'Fish & Chips' === get_modifiable_text() example (lines 1838-1846) drove entities-in-text; the '>= vs >' guard rationale (html-processor.md lines 887-889) ensured nobody used a '>' guard that would have truncated text after the first child closer; and the note that a void/empty element produces no #text inside (line 887 + recipe) gave the correct '' for image-link-empty-text. Near-misses worth flagging despite the perfect scores: (1) All three trials NEST a next_token() walk inside the next_tag() loop, exactly the shape html-processor.md lines 625-627 warns against ('There is only ONE cursor... nested walk loops interfere... an outer loop calling next_token() again skips past it, silently dropping... the opener of the next region'). It is safe HERE only because the inner walk always stops at the A's own closer or document end — never on an A opener — so the resuming next_tag('A') loses nothing. The subjects did not articulate this safety argument; the docs even offer a single-loop dispatch alternative (lines 629-648) that none adopted. This is a latent correctness trap that happens not to fire for collecting non-nestable A elements, and trial-2's low confidence (45) plausibly reflects unease about precisely this hazard. (2) Trial-2 added an is_tag_closer() guard that line 593 explicitly documents as unnecessary, indicating that the 'no guard needed after plain next_tag' note is easy to miss even though it is present.",

But all three subjects nested a next_token() walk inside a next_tag() loop and were correct, because next_tag() re-scans forward for the next matching opener and the inner walk never stops on such an opener. The docs do not state when nesting next_token() inside next_tag() (as opposed to inside another next_token() loop) is actually safe, leaving subjects to either over-worry (trial-2's confidence 45) or rely on it without justification.",
+      "suggestion": "Add one sentence clarifying the boundary: nesting a depth-bounded next_token() walk inside a next_tag() loop is safe when the inner walk can only stop on the matched element's own closer or end-of-input (never on another instance of the searched tag), because next_tag() resumes by scanning forward for the next match and does not need to re-examine the stop token.

(2) The get_breadcrumbs() section (lines 849-866) gives a concrete example ('HTML','BODY','P','STRONG','EM','IMG') that makes the 'full path including implicit HTML/BODY and the matched element itself' semantics unambiguous, which is exactly what an in_array ancestor check relies on. (3) The fragment-parsing note (line 54) reinforces that breadcrumbs always contain HTML, BODY. (4) get_updated_html() is documented as the correct byte-preserving way to read modifications back (vs serialize), and none of the subjects misused serialize. Near-misses in the implementations (not failures): all three check the FULL breadcrumb array rather than excluding the matched node, unlike the reference which uses array_slice(get_breadcrumbs(), 0, -1). This is invisible here because the matched element is always P and the sought ancestor is BLOCKQUOTE, so self can never collide. It is a latent ancestor-vs-self confusion that the docs do not explicitly caution against; a task such as 'mark X that has an X ancestor' would have turned this into a false-positive bug.

Every subject wrote in_array('BLOCKQUOTE', $processor->get_breadcrumbs()) over the full array; that happens to be safe only because the matched tag (P) can never equal the sought ancestor (BLOCKQUOTE). For a self-referential check (e.g. an element that has an ancestor of the same tag) the matched node would self-match and produce false positives.",

Follows the documented single-dispatch-loop pattern (no nested walks), uses get_modifiable_text for decoded text, accumulates #text. The one substantive flaw is the depth bound: it breaks on `$depth <= $table_depth`. Because a tag closer reports a depth one less than its opener (html-processor.md:720), the synthesized THEAD/TBODY closers land at exactly table_depth (probe-confirmed: THEAD closer at d=3 == table_depth 3). The `<=` break is the inverse of the documented over-strict `>` continuation guard the docs explicitly warn against (lines 673-675), so it terminates the walk at the first section closer and drops every row after the THEAD. This is the sole cause of the thead-tbody failure. Also uses `! empty($current_row)` row gating instead of the cleaner null-tracking the reference uses; works for tested cases but would silently drop a genuinely empty <tr></tr>.

Trials 2 and 3 passed everything.\n\nRoot cause (trial-1): a depth-boundary misconception. The subject bounded the in-table walk with `if ( $depth <= $table_depth ) break;`. The HTML Processor synthesizes a TBODY/THEAD around table rows (documented at next_token(), html-processor.md:619), and — critically — a tag closer reports a depth ONE LESS than its opener because the element is already popped (documented at is_tag_closer(), html-processor.md:720). Probe confirms: with TABLE matched at depth 3, the THEAD closer is visited at depth 3, equal to table_depth. The `<=` break therefore fires on the THEAD closer, ending the loop before the TBODY rows (\"a\",\"b\") are ever seen. The reference and trials 2/3 use a STRICT boundary (`>= $table_depth` continuation, equivalently break on `< $table_depth`), so the section closers at table_depth keep the loop alive and only the TABLE closer (depth 2) ends it.\n\nThis is the same hazard the next_token() docblock warns about at html-processor.md:673-675: '`>` would end this walk at the first nested closer ... and silently drop the trailing text. The `>=` comparison is required.' But the warning is framed for the continuation-guard form on a single-level example (LI text collection, lines 654-676), where the anchor element has no sibling structural children at its own depth. The subject inverted the guard into a break condition and chose `<=`, reintroducing exactly the bug the docs warn against — and the LI example does not exhibit it, so the failure mode is invisible to a reader who pattern-matches on that example. Tables are the canonical case where multiple sibling sections (THEAD, TBODY, TFOOT) each emit a closer at the anchor depth, making the off-by-one fatal rather than cosmetic.\n\nWhat the docs did well: the closer-depth-one-less rule (line 720), the synthesized-TBODY note (line 619), the explicit `>=`-not-`>` warning (lines 673-675), the no-nested-walks single-dispatch recipe (lines 627-648), and the decoded-text guidance all directly enabled trials 2 and 3 to pass cleanly. The near-miss is that the boundary rule is taught only in the continuation-guard direction on a structurally trivial example; it never shows the break-condition form, nor a multi-section container where same-depth sibling closers actually exercise the boundary.",

Trial-1 failed precisely here.",
+      "suggestion": "Add (or cross-reference) a short depth-bounded-walk example over a container whose children include implied sibling sections, e.g. a TABLE, and state explicitly that each section's closer (THEAD/TBODY) is visited at the SAME depth as the anchor opener, so only a strict-below-anchor test ends the walk.

Readers commonly write the equivalent as a `break` inside the loop body, and the correct break threshold is the logical inverse: break on `depth < anchor_depth`, NOT `depth <= anchor_depth`. The docs never show the break form, so a reader who refactors the guard into a break easily picks `<=` and reintroduces the documented bug.",

It finds the first TABLE tag, then tracks depth to stay within the table. When it encounters TD or TH opening tags, it starts collecting text from subsequent text tokens using get_modifiable_text() (which handles character reference decoding). When a cell or row closes, it flushes the collected text and moves to the next cell/row. This approach properly handles omitted closing tags and tbody/thead elements since the browser-like parsing handles these semantically.",

Idiomatic: walks every token, dispatches on get_token_type()==='#text', and uses the exact serialize_token()-in-a-loop rewriting pattern the docs prescribe (the SUP example) to wrap matched text nodes while serializing the rest unchanged. Correctly relies on get_modifiable_text() returning DECODED text, so the entity-encoded keyword case matches as documented. All 8 hidden cases pass. Minor deviation from reference: the null-processor fallback returns normalize($html) ?? '' rather than ''. This is reasonable but slightly off-spec — on truly unparseable input normalize() would also return null, falling through to '', so behavior converges; however returning a normalized-but-unmarked document on a create_fragment failure is a guess not grounded in the docs.

Relies correctly on decoded get_modifiable_text() semantics for the entity case. All 8 cases pass.

Idiomatic serialize_token() rewriting loop with proper decoded-text matching. The weak spot is the null-processor fallback: returns the raw, un-normalized $html. This contradicts the task's normalization contract — if create_fragment ever returned null the function would emit non-normalized output, the opposite of what's promised. The docs (create_fragment Returns: 'static|null', and normalize/serialize returning null on failure) describe the null path but the candidate's fallback ignores normalization. Untested by the suite (create_fragment does not return null for any case here), so it does not cost functional points, but it is the least defensible edge-case handling of the three."

It also explicitly steers away from the wrong tool by stating serialization is NOT for retrieving edits made via set_attribute/add_class (that's get_updated_html), and that serialize() requires an unscanned processor. This prevented the plausible mistake of reaching for set_modifiable_text + get_updated_html, or trying to wrap via serialize().\\n- next_token() + get_token_type(): the '#text' value is enumerated explicitly under get_token_type, and next_token()'s prose ('visits a closing token for every element it opens, including elements the HTML specification closes implicitly and elements left unclosed') is precisely why the unclosed-input and normalization-side-effects cases serialize correctly without any special handling.\\n- get_modifiable_text(): the explicit 'For #text nodes ... the returned text is DECODED ... Do not decode it again' is what makes the entity-encoded-keyword case (w&#111;rld) match the keyword 'world'. All three trials relied on this without re-decoding, which is correct.\\n- The 'keyword in attribute/comment not wrapped' and 'split-across-elements' cases pass for free because the token walk only inspects #text modifiable text: attribute values are never surfaced as #text, comment interiors report token type #comment (not #text), and a keyword split across <em> boundaries lands in two separate #text tokens. No candidate needed to reason about this explicitly; the API's token model enforces it.\\n\\nNear-misses in the explanations rather than the code: trial-1 and trial-3 both invented null-processor fallbacks (normalize($html) and raw $html respectively) that are not grounded in the documented contract; trial-3's raw-$html path would actually violate normalization if ever reached. None of the explanations articulated WHY comment/attribute text is excluded — they got it right structurally but did not demonstrate understanding that get_token_type discriminates these, so a slightly different task (e.g. 'also match inside comments') could expose a shallow mental model.",

Both valid, just less clean. Uses 'H2' (uppercase) in the query; tag_name matching is documented ASCII case-insensitive (line 952) so this is fine.

This task is a textbook success for the documentation.\n\nWhat the docs did well: The set_bookmark() docblock in html-tag-processor.md is the decisive asset. Two passages directly seed the winning strategy: line 1124 ('A common use: to remember \"the last matching tag\" in a single pass, re-set the same bookmark name on every match, then seek to it once after the scan completes') and line 1161 ('Setting a bookmark with a name that is already in use MOVES that bookmark to the current location ... Re-setting the same name on every match is the supported idiom for remembering \"the last X seen so far\" ... without hitting the bookmark limit'). It even includes a worked last-LI example. All three subjects reproduced this idiom almost verbatim, which is why none reached for an O(n) re-scan or a programmatically-named bookmark (the anti-pattern explicitly warned against at line 1159). The comment-h2-not-counted case was handled implicitly and correctly because next_tag() only matches real parsed tags, not text inside comments — subjects in trials 2 and 3 explicitly cited this in their explanations and were right. The existing-class case passed because add_class() is documented (line 328) to preserve existing classes and whitespace/ordering, appending the new class.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations: (1) Trial 2 added a defensive is_tag_closer() guard. This reveals a mild residual uncertainty about whether next_tag() can pause on closers. The next_tag() docs do address this — both the html-processor.md:593 query table ('Because skip is the default, code following a plain next_tag() match needs no is_tag_closer() guard: only openers are visited') and the html-tag-processor.md:952 table ('tag_closers \"visit\" or \"skip\" (default)'). The guidance exists but is buried inside the long @type description string for the $query parameter rather than stated as a standalone sentence near the method summary, so a less-careful reader may not internalize it and adds the guard just in case. Harmless here, but it is the only friction point observed. (2) No subject mentioned the seek() call-count limit (html-processor.md:2194 / html-tag-processor.md:861 $seek_count), which is irrelevant here since seek is called once, but worth noting the docs surface it adequately.",

Subjects had to infer which is preferred, leading to slightly divergent, less-clean code in one trial.",

A one-sentence note pointing readers to the simpler of the two patterns would remove the ambiguity."

The processor-null check is effectively dead for these inputs since create_fragment only nulls on invalid context/encoding, but it is harmless and defensible. Passed 9/9. No hallucinated API.

The reference solution and trials 1-2 are essentially identical (WP_HTML_Processor::normalize on each fragment, null guard, string equality); trial 3 uses the documented equivalent create_fragment()+serialize() path. The documentation served this task very well.\n\nWhat the docs did well:\n- The normalize() and serialize() sections (html-processor.md L945-1044) enumerate exactly the equivalences the task hinges on: attribute values double-quoted (quoting-styles-equal, whitespace-in-tag-equal), duplicate attributes removed, omitted/implied tags added (implied-closers-equal), tag/attribute name lower-casing except SVG/MathML (tag-case-equal), text re-encoding (entity-spellings-equal: '&amp;' and '&AMP;' both decode then re-encode identically), and trailing incomplete syntax dropped. The worked examples make the canonicalization behavior concrete enough that subjects could trust string equality as a structural-equivalence test.\n- The null-return contract is stated in three places (L85 overview, L995 returns, L1005 serialize precondition), so every trial correctly mapped 'cannot be parsed/represented' to false. This directly produced the correct answer on misnesting-unsupported-false: normalize()/serialize() return null on the unsupported misnesting, and all trials returned false.\n- Processor selection guidance (html-processor.md L82, html-tag-processor.md L24) steers 'producing normalized output' to the HTML Processor; no trial reached for the Tag Processor, which lacks normalize()/serialize().\n- The _doing_it_wrong / trigger_error record on the misnesting case ('Cannot serialize HTML Processor with parsing error: unsupported') is emitted internally by the API as it returns null; it is NOT candidate misuse, and the docs correctly frame null as the expected signal.\n\nNear-misses in the explanations (not failures): trials 2 and 3 both claimed normalize() sorts/sorts-by-name the attributes. A probe shows attribute order is PRESERVED from the source, not sorted. The attribute-order-differs case therefore passes for the right reason (preserved order yields two different serializations) but for the wrong stated reason in those explanations. Because the normalize() docblock lists every other transformation but is silent on ordering, subjects guessed 'sorted'. With a different test (e.g. one input duplicating an attribute, where dedup keeps first occurrence and order), that misconception could have produced a wrong prediction.

This generalizes beyond this task to any dedup/canonicalization/caching use case."

The convergence is directly attributable to the docs: the serialize_token() section (html-processor.md:1047-1073) contains a near-verbatim worked example for this exact transformation — 'Remove every SUP element but keep its contents,' looping next_token(), `if ( 'SUP' === $processor->get_tag() ) { continue; // Skips both the opener and the closer. }`, accumulating serialize_token(). Subjects substituted SPAN for SUP. The surrounding prose also nails the load-bearing facts: 'Walking every token ... and concatenating serialize_token() ... reconstructs the normalized serialization' (covers the normalized-passthrough, &AMP;->&amp;, and optional-tag-closing cases via the engine), and 'Closing tokens of skipped elements must be skipped too' (covers why a single get_tag() check handles both opener and closer). The get_tag() doc (html-processor.md:1745-1772, Returns: 'null if none found') justified dropping the reference's explicit get_token_type()==='#tag' guard: text/comment/doctype tokens return null from get_tag(), never 'SPAN', so the simplified condition is correct on adjacent-spans, span-with-block-content (the IMG and text tokens), and attributes-discarded. The unclosed-span and no-spans-passthrough cases (auto-closing P/DIV, decoding &AMP;) are handled entirely by the parser/serializer, which the docs correctly frame as automatic ('optional tags are closed' is the engine's job, not the caller's). Only near-miss in the explanations: trial-2's prose claims serialize_token 'lowercases tags,' which is imprecise — tags are normalized to lowercase on output but get_tag() reports uppercase; the candidate code is unaffected. No subject discussed the create_fragment null path's normalization implications, which surfaced as trial-2 returning raw $html on null (untested, but a latent contract violation).\"",

Nothing in the doc steers the caller toward a normalized-safe fallback.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a one-line note in the Returns or a Usage section: when create_fragment returns null the input could not be parsed in the requested context, so callers that promise normalized output should return an empty string (or otherwise signal failure) rather than echoing the raw input, which would be un-normalized."

Subjects relied on this to drop the get_token_type()==='#tag' guard; it happened to be correct, but the doc never confirms it, so the safe simplification rests on an undocumented assumption.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a sentence clarifying that get_tag() returns null whenever the current token is not an element (e.g. text or comment nodes during a next_token() walk), making `'TAGNAME' === $p->get_tag()` a safe element test without a separate token-type check."

+      "suggestion": "Add a caution to the example noting that the skip-opener-and-closer idiom assumes a normal container element with a matching close token; for void elements (IMG, BR, HR) there is only an opening token to skip, and that get_tag() equality alone is sufficient because void closers never appear."

+  "explanation": "The implementation uses WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment() to parse the HTML fragment in BODY context, then iterates through all tokens with next_token(). For each token, if it's a SPAN tag (opening or closing), we skip it with continue; otherwise, we append its serialized form to the output. The serialize_token() method produces normalized HTML. This approach handles nested spans, span attributes, and text content correctly because serialize_token() normalizes the entire document structure while skipping the SPAN tokens.",

+# HTML API autonomous documentation improvement
+
+## Goal
+
+Improve the usability of `WP_HTML_Tag_Processor` and `WP_HTML_Processor` (only `src/wp-includes/html-api/class-wp-html-{tag-,}processor.php`), measured by how well weaker models complete real tasks using **only** rendered documentation. Full design contract: `doc-experiment/PLAN.md`. Runbook with exact prompts and judge rubric: `doc-experiment/PROTOCOL.md`. Narrative so far: `doc-experiment/LOG.md`. Post-round-17 hypotheses and diagnostic sequence: `doc-experiment/NEXT-HYPOTHESES.md`.
+
+Use Codex model settings directly, not legacy opus/sonnet/haiku labels. Judges are always `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` / `priority` when available. Test subjects use one primary tier per scored round, stepping down only after no-edit calibration: `gpt-5.4`/`medium`/`priority`, `gpt-5.4`/`low`/`priority`, `gpt-5.4-mini`/`high`/`priority`, then `gpt-5.4-mini`/`low`/`priority`.
+
+## Pipeline (one round)
+
+1. `php doc-experiment/tools/docs-only-guard.php` — must pass after any doc edit (comment-stripped token stream identical to HEAD, `php -l`, `@since` untouched).
+2. `sh doc-experiment/tools/stage-round.sh <N>` — regenerates `artifacts/*.json` via `/Users/jonsurrell/a8c/phpdoc-parser/generate-json-manually.php` (absolute path required), renders markdown, stages `/tmp/html-api-docs-eval/round-NN/` containing only the two `.md` docs. Then copy each active task's `task.md` to `<scratch>/tasks/<task-id>.md`.
+3. Trials: use one selected primary subject tier for the scored round; do **not** mix model tiers into the main score. Example shape: `Workflow({scriptPath: "doc-experiment/tools/trials-workflow.js", args: {scratch, taskIds: [...], trialsPerTask: 3, model: "gpt-5.4", reasoningEffort: "medium", serviceTier: "priority"}})` if the workflow supports those fields. Use agent type `docs-test-subject` (`.claude/agents/`, Read+Grep only) — it registers in fresh sessions. Test subjects may read only scratch files; never expose `reference.php`/`tests.json`; spot-check transcripts for external reads.
+4. `python3 doc-experiment/tools/persist-trials.py doc-experiment/results/round-NN < trials.json` — writes candidates and executes each against hidden tests in the standalone harness (`doc-experiment/harness/`, subprocess isolation, 10s timeout).
+5. Judges: `Workflow({scriptPath: "doc-experiment/tools/judge-workflow.js", args: {repoRoot, round: "round-NN", scratch, taskIds, model: "gpt-5.5", reasoningEffort: "xhigh", serviceTier: "priority"}})` if supported — one strongest judge per task; persist `judge.json` per task.
+6. `python3 doc-experiment/tools/aggregate-round.py doc-experiment/results/round-NN` → `round-summary.json`. Review **per-concept**, not just aggregate.
+7. Update `LOG.md`, commit results, then choose the next action. Post-round-17 default is diagnostic first: no-edit weak-tier calibration, citation-only discoverability probes, scratch-rendered A/B variants, then source docblock edits only after evidence. Source edits still require one commit per hypothesis (verify every doc example by execution first; probe via `php -r 'require "doc-experiment/harness/bootstrap.php"; …'`).
+
+## Rules
+
+- Score: trial = 0.7·(pass fraction·100) + 0.3·adherence; task = mean of 3 trials; round = mean over tasks.
+- Revert a hypothesis commit on >2-point round drop or a clean task regression.
+- Held-out tasks (N01, N02, N05, H04) run only on checkpoint rounds (every 3rd + final) and **never drive doc edits**.
+- Do not run every agent tier against held-out every round. Holdout is for primary-tier checkpoint/final rounds or diagnostic sentinels only; if seen in cross-tier panels, it still must not drive edits.
+- Train = T01–T12 (T01/T02 are smoke) + N03, N04, N06. Retired: `corpus-retired/H01–H03`.
+- Stop/pause after 2 consecutive flat rounds on the selected weak tier, when diagnostic A/B tests stop producing concept-level signal, or on Jon's interrupt. Report after every round.
+

+# Next hypotheses and test strategy
+
+This document captures the next phase after round 17. The current train
+score is high enough that another ordinary "add the latest judge gap" loop
+has weak signal. The next tests should deliberately lower model capability,
+increase the signal density of the rendered docs, and separate content gaps
+from discoverability gaps.
+
+## Current read
+
+Round 17 was a no-edit hold round and scored 98.93 on train. The remaining
+train misses are scattered, with T08 traversal the only material weak spot.
+Most judge gaps are now one of these shapes:
+
+- The fact exists, but is too far from the method heading readers enter
+  through.
+- The docs describe a positive capability, but not the contrasting wrong
+  move.
+- The docs are accurate, but a long surrounding section dilutes the line that
+  matters.
+- The subject passed by delegating to the API, but could not explain the API's
+  boundary conditions.
+
+Treat future edits as precision edits. A one-line contrast in the right
+method docblock is probably worth more than another long example.
+
+## Strong candidates
+
+These are the best next candidates after a local review plus three read-only
+subagent passes. Treat them as hypotheses to test through no-edit baselines,
+discoverability probes, or scratch-rendered A/B variants before promoting any
+source docblock changes.
+
+### 1. Depth-boundary equivalence card
+
+Core idea: make the subtree-walk boundary mechanically hard to copy wrong.
+Show both safe forms side by side near `WP_HTML_Processor::next_token()` and
+`get_current_depth()`:
+
+- Continue form: walk while `get_current_depth() >= $anchor_depth`.
+- Break form: break only when `get_current_depth() < $anchor_depth`.
+- Wrong forms: `>` drops equal-depth content; `<=` exits too early in break
+  form.
+
+Why this is strong: round 17's only functional miss was still T08, and the
+same off-by-one family has appeared across T03, T06, T08, N02, and H04-style
+walks. This is the clearest remaining train signal.
+
+Risk: medium. Avoid a table-specific solution. The invariant should be
+explained with generic "container and descendants" language, optionally backed
+by a compact trace that stresses sibling/implicit structures.
+
+### 2. Factory lifecycle contract
+
+Core idea: clarify construction failure versus parse/serialization failure at
+`WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment()` and `create_full_parser()`.
+
+Contract to test:
+
+- These factories belong only to `WP_HTML_Processor`.
+- `null` from construction means unsupported context/encoding, not malformed
+  body content.
+- A non-null processor does not prove the document is fully supported.
+- Unsupported markup surfaces later while walking, or through `serialize()`,
+  `normalize()`, `get_last_error()`, or `get_unsupported_exception()`.
+- Callers promising normalized output should not return raw input as a fallback
+  when processing fails.
+
+Why this is strong: repeated judge notes across N04, T09, T11, T12, and N05
+show invented null branches, wrong fallback choices, and cross-class factory
+hallucinations. This is a broad API boundary, not a task-specific patch.
+
+Risk: low.
+
+### 3. Where-text-lives matrix
+
+Core idea: add a compact token-model matrix near `get_token_type()` and
+`get_modifiable_text()`.
+
+Rows to cover:
+
+- `#text` tokens: decoded text-node character data.
+- Attribute values: retrieved through `get_attribute()`, never as `#text`.
+- Comments: `#comment`, not `#text`.
+- Raw-text/RCDATA elements such as `SCRIPT`, `STYLE`, `TITLE`, and `TEXTAREA`:
+  text rides on the element token, not on child `#text` tokens.
+- Inline markup: one logical element's text may be split across multiple
+  `#text` tokens; accumulate.
+- Tag Processor text walk versus HTML Processor tree-aware text walk.
+
+Why this is strong: many passing trials still show shallow explanations about
+why comments, attributes, raw-text elements, and split text are excluded or
+included. Weaker models are likely to expose this more sharply.
+
+Risk: medium-low if phrased as a token model instead of a task recipe.
+
+### 4. Contract-card rendered-doc A/B
+
+Core idea: before source edits, generate scratch-rendered docs that insert
+short "Use this / do not use this / common wrong move" cards under high-entry
+method headings.
+
+High-value headings:
+
+- `create_fragment()` and `create_full_parser()`
+- `next_tag()`
+- `next_token()`
+- `get_updated_html()`
+- `serialize()`
+- `serialize_token()`
+- `get_breadcrumbs()`
+- `get_namespace()` / `get_tag()`
+
+Why this is strong: recent gaps repeatedly say the fact exists but is too far
+from where subjects enter the docs. A shadow variant tests discoverability
+without committing source bloat.
+
+Risk: medium. Cards must teach boundaries, not current corpus answers.
+
+### 5. Signal-density pruning A/B
+
+Core idea: test whether fewer visible words produce better weaker-model
+behavior. Do this only in scratch-rendered docs first.
+
+Candidate ablations:
+
+- Hide future-direction prose in the Tag Processor header.
+- Hide HTML Processor roadmap bullets that imply current inner-text operations
+  are unsupported.
+- Collapse duplicate special-element/modifiable-text lists into method-local
+  contracts.
+- Collapse the class-level bookmark overview while keeping method-local
+  bookmark docs.
+- Deduplicate normalization prose across `normalize()`, `serialize()`, and
+  `serialize_token()`, leaving decision contracts at each method heading.
+- Move the template-building overview into method-local contracts for
+  `set_attribute()`, `set_modifiable_text()`, and `get_updated_html()`.
+
+Why this is strong: if the next weaker tier fails by retrieval dilution rather
+than missing facts, pruning may outperform additive documentation.
+
+Risk: low as shadow-doc A/B; high if source pruning is promoted without broad
+concept stability.
+
+### 6. Parsed identity and namespace contract
+
+Core idea: show that parsed element identity is not source spelling. Clarify
+that `next_tag( 'IMG' )` uses the parser's element identity, while
+`get_namespace()` distinguishes HTML/SVG/MathML when names overlap.
+
+Why this is strong: N06 passes now, but subjects often add redundant or
+misunderstood namespace guards. Future foreign-content tasks will stress this.
+
+Risk: medium. Use generic parsed-identity language and varied examples rather
+than a task-shaped `img`-only recipe.
+
+### 7. Method-local small contracts
+
+These are lower-risk but probably smaller-signal than the candidates above:
+
+- `next_tag()`: opener-only by default; no `is_tag_closer()` guard unless
+  `tag_closers => 'visit'`.
+- `get_breadcrumbs()`: final entry is the current node; slice it off for
+  strict ancestor checks.
+- `get_attribute()`: use `is_string( $value ) && '' !== $value` when a real
+  string value is required; `null`, `true`, and `''` are distinct.
+- `normalize()` / `serialize()`: attribute order is preserved, not sorted.
+- `get_tag()`: returns `null` on non-tag tokens during `next_token()` walks.
+- `paused_at_incomplete_token()`: lexical incomplete-token state, not unclosed
+  tree structure.
+
+Risk: low, but expected incremental score gain may be small unless weaker-tier
+probes show these are findability failures.
+
+## Codex model policy
+
+Purpose: as the docs approach perfect scores, move test subjects to less
+capable configurations so failures reveal documentation strength instead of
+model strength. Keep judges strongest and stable; only weaken test subjects.
+Use `priority` service tier for every Codex agent when it is available, because
+latency variance is not part of the documentation experiment.
+
+As of 2026-06-12, official OpenAI docs list GPT-5.5 as the flagship model,
+GPT-5.4 as the more affordable strong coding/professional model, and
+GPT-5.4 mini/nano as smaller lower-latency lower-cost variants. The same
+docs list reasoning efforts `none`, `low`, `medium`, `high`, and `xhigh`.
+This session's visible subagent overrides expose `gpt-5.5`, `gpt-5.4`, and
+`gpt-5.4-mini`. I did not find `gpt-5.3` in the current public model docs; use
+it only if the workflow runner exposes it, and treat its position as empirical.
+
+Judges:
+
+- Always use `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` / `priority` for judge agents when available.
+- If unavailable, pause or explicitly record the downgrade. Do not silently
+  compare judge scores across different judge tiers.
+
+Recommended subject ladder, strongest to weakest:
+
+1. `gpt-5.4` / `medium` / `priority`
+2. `gpt-5.4` / `low` / `priority`
+3. `gpt-5.4-mini` / `high` / `priority`
+4. `gpt-5.4-mini` / `low` / `priority`
+
+Do not assume base-model size and reasoning effort compose linearly. For
+example, `gpt-5.4-mini/high` may beat or lose to `gpt-5.4/low` depending on
+the task. Whenever stepping down across a model-family boundary, run a no-edit
+rebaseline first.
+
+Default round policy:
+
+- If a subject tier scores 97+ train for two consecutive train rounds and a
+  checkpoint held-out split is stable, step down one rung.
+- Use one primary subject tier per scored round so deltas remain comparable.
+- Do not mix subject tiers into the main round score.
+- On checkpoints or hold rounds, run a small cross-tier panel to watch for
+  regressions and calibrate the next rung. Treat this panel as diagnostic until
+  that tier has its own no-edit baseline.
+- If a subject tier falls below roughly 70 with failures unrelated to doc
+  lookup, keep it as a stress test but do not drive source edits from it.
+- At weaker tiers, consider five trials per task or paired A/B trials because
+  sampling variance will rise.

+
+## New experiment types
+
+### 1. Shadow-doc ablation
+
+Question: does removing visible but low-value documentation improve results by
+increasing signal density?
+
+Method:
+
+- Render current docs normally.
+- Produce scratch-only ablation variants that delete or collapse selected
+  sections from the rendered markdown. Do not edit source docblocks for the
+  first pass.
+- Run the same task/model/trial matrix against control docs and ablated docs.
+- Promote an ablation to source-doc pruning only if it improves or preserves
+  scores and judge notes show less confusion.
+
+Candidate ablations:
+
+- Collapse long narrative sections that do not appear in successful subject
+  citations.
+- Remove duplicate examples that teach the same path as a stronger nearby
+  example.
+- Hide internal history, future-direction, and low-frequency caveat prose from
+  the rendered docs unless it affects a task contract.
+- Replace long paragraphs with compact "Contract" bullets at method headings.
+
+Success metric:
+
+- Equal or better task score.
+- Fewer hallucinated methods and fallback branches.
+- Explanations cite closer, more local passages.
+- No new held-out regression in concepts not targeted by the prune.
+
+### 2. Contrast cards
+
+Question: do "do this instead of that" patterns outperform neutral prose?
+
+Method:
+
+- Add small contrast blocks near the relevant method docs.
+- Avoid task-shaped examples. Teach the decision boundary, not the current
+  corpus answer.
+
+High-value patterns:
+
+- Use `new WP_HTML_Tag_Processor( $html )` for flat lexical tag/class/attribute
+  edits. Do not call `create_fragment()` or `create_full_parser()` on the Tag
+  Processor.
+- Use `WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment()` for fragment tree traversal,
+  breadcrumbs, depth, normalized serialization, and implied nodes. Do not use
+  the Tag Processor when ancestry or namespace identity matters.
+- Use `WP_HTML_Processor::create_full_parser()` for whole-document questions
+  such as the document `TITLE`. Do not treat the first source-order `<title>`
+  as the document title.
+- After queued edits such as `add_class()`, `remove_class()`,
+  `set_attribute()`, or `set_modifiable_text()`, use `get_updated_html()`. Do
+  not use `serialize()` or `normalize()` to read queued lexical edits.
+- For selective normalized rewrites while walking every token, use
+  `serialize_token()`. Do not mix this with queued edits unless the docs
+  explicitly say that pattern is supported.
+- During a plain `next_tag()` walk, do not add an `is_tag_closer()` guard unless
+  `tag_closers => 'visit'` was requested.
+- For ancestor-only tests, slice `get_breadcrumbs()` before checking ancestors
+  because the last breadcrumb is the current node.
+- For usable attribute values, prefer `is_string( $value ) && '' !== $value`.
+  Do not treat `null`, `true`, and `''` as interchangeable.
+- For `#text` rewriting, act on `get_token_type() === '#text'`. Do not expect
+  attributes, comments, or raw-text element contents to appear as `#text`.
+- For foreign content, trust parsed element identity. Do not assume source
+  spelling alone determines `get_tag()` or `get_namespace()`.
+
+### 3. Discoverability probes
+
+Question: are failures caused by missing facts or hard-to-find facts?
+
+Method:
+
+- Before a full round, run small read-only subject probes that ask for an answer
+  and a cited doc location, not code.
+- Use weaker models and short time budgets.
+- Score only whether the subject finds the right contract and cites a local
+  passage.
+
+Probe questions:
+
+- Which class owns `create_full_parser()`?
+- Does `create_fragment()` return null for malformed body HTML, or only for
+  unsupported context/encoding?
+- Does `next_tag()` visit closers by default?
+- Does `get_breadcrumbs()` include the current node?
+- Does `next_tag( 'IMG' )` match an SVG `<image>` element?
+- Does `normalize()` sort attributes?
+- What distinguishes `get_updated_html()`, `serialize()`, and
+  `serialize_token()`?
+
+If probes fail while the fact exists, prefer relocation or contrast. If probes
+pass but task code fails, prefer examples or task/corpus changes.
+
+### 4. T08 traversal isolation
+
+Question: is the remaining table-extraction variance a documentation gap or a
+state-machine reasoning limit?
+
+Method:
+
+- Create microtasks around adjacent regions, self-nesting regions, implied
+  nodes, and one-cursor walks.
+- Keep them out of train until references and hidden tests are approved.
+- Use them first as diagnostic probes, not score-driving tasks.
+
+Potential microtasks:
+
+- Collect text from adjacent `LI` elements with nested inline markup.
+- Collect text from adjacent table cells where implied `TBODY` appears.
+- Collect nested `BLOCKQUOTE` regions without losing sibling regions.
+- Compare nested-loop and single-dispatch implementations and ask which is
+  safe.
+
+Expected useful edit if this confirms a doc gap:
+
+- A compact single-dispatch "region collector" recipe that names the invariant:
+  one cursor, one loop, explicit active region state, flush on matching closer.
+
+### 5. Method-heading contract pass
+
+Question: can we improve scores by moving existing facts to the exact method
+headings where models enter?
+
+Candidate local contracts:
+
+- `WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment()` and `::create_full_parser()`:
+  construction failure is context/encoding failure; parser support failures
+  surface later through walking, `serialize()`, `normalize()`, or
+  `get_last_error()`.
+- `WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::next_tag()` and `WP_HTML_Processor::next_tag()`:
+  opener-only by default; tag-name matching is parsed-token matching, not raw
+  text matching.
+- `WP_HTML_Processor::get_breadcrumbs()`: includes current node as final entry.
+- `WP_HTML_Processor::get_tag()`: returns null on non-tag tokens during a
+  `next_token()` walk.
+- `WP_HTML_Processor::normalize()` and `::serialize()`: attribute order is
+  preserved; attributes are not sorted.
+- `WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::paused_at_incomplete_token()`: reports lexical
+  incomplete-token state, not unclosed tree structure.
+
+## Noise-removal policy
+
+Do not delete prose because it is long. Delete or collapse it only when it is
+visible to test subjects and at least one of these is true:
+
+- It repeats a stronger nearby contract.
+- It explains implementation history rather than caller behavior.
+- It introduces a low-frequency caveat before the common path.
+- It causes subjects to add defensive fallback code that the API contract does
+  not require.
+- It has not been cited by successful trials or judges across multiple rounds.
+
+Run pruning as a shadow-doc ablation first. Source deletion should be a
+confirmed hypothesis, not a style cleanup.
+
+## Proposed next sequence
+
+1. Run no-edit weak-tier calibration across the subject ladder, one tier at a
+   time, until a tier lands in a useful signal band: not saturated, but still
+   mostly failing on doc/API reasoning rather than generic coding errors.
+2. Run citation-only discoverability probes for the strong-candidate contracts.
+   If a fact exists but weak subjects cannot cite it locally, prefer relocation
+   or a contract card over more narrative prose.
+3. Add a scratch-only rendered-doc variant tool or manual script that can
+   insert contract cards and remove named sections without editing source.
+4. Run paired shadow-doc A/B tests for the depth-boundary card, factory
+   lifecycle card, where-text-lives matrix, and signal-density pruning.
+5. Run a small cross-tier diagnostic panel on checkpoint or hold rounds to
+   confirm the improvement generalizes across subject capability.
+6. Only then promote winning changes to docblocks, one hypothesis per commit,
+   with held-out still protected from driving edits.
+
+The main risk now is overfitting the train set or adding enough prose that the
+right line becomes harder to find. The next phase should measure signal
+density, not only factual completeness.

+I found the plan under `doc-experiment/`. The work is an experiment to improve only the docblocks for `WP_HTML_Tag_Processor` and `WP_HTML_Processor`, measured by how well weaker models solve hidden HTML API tasks using only rendered docs.
+
+Current state: round 17 hit `98.93` train with no edits, so the next phase should not blindly add doc prose. It should run diagnostics: weaker-tier calibration, discoverability probes, scratch A/B rendered-doc variants, then promote only winning changes to source docblocks.
+
+Use this goal prompt:
+
+```text
+Continue the HTML API autonomous documentation improvement experiment in this repo.
+
+Start by reading and internalizing:
+- doc-experiment/PLAN.md
+- doc-experiment/PROTOCOL.md
+- doc-experiment/NEXT-HYPOTHESES.md
+- doc-experiment/LOG.md
+- HANDOFF.md if present
+
+Objective: improve the rendered documentation usability for WP_HTML_Tag_Processor and WP_HTML_Processor, but only by evidence-driven docblock changes to:
+- src/wp-includes/html-api/class-wp-html-tag-processor.php
+- src/wp-includes/html-api/class-wp-html-processor.php
+
+Current phase: post-round-17 diagnostics. Do not start by making source edits. Round 17 train score was 98.93; the main remaining signal is discoverability/placement/signal-density, especially T08 traversal and the depth-boundary equivalence issue.
+
+Before scoring anything, check the current worktree and preserve existing user changes. Also reconcile the runner tooling with the current model policy: the plan says judges should be gpt-5.5/xhigh/priority and subjects should use one tier at a time from the ladder, but the workflow scripts may still contain legacy opus/haiku labels or hardcoded model values. Fix or explicitly record any tooling mismatch before trusting new scores.
+
+Run the next phase in this order:
+
+1. No-edit weak-tier calibration on train tasks only, one subject tier at a time:
+   - gpt-5.4 / medium / priority
+   - gpt-5.4 / low / priority
+   - gpt-5.4-mini / high / priority
+   - gpt-5.4-mini / low / priority
+   Use one primary tier per scored run. Do not mix tiers into one round score. Pick the weakest tier that is not saturated but still mostly fails on HTML API documentation reasoning, not generic coding mistakes.
+
+2. Run citation-only discoverability probes for the contracts in NEXT-HYPOTHESES.md:
+   depth-boundary equivalence, factory lifecycle, where text lives, get_updated_html vs serialize vs serialize_token, breadcrumbs includes current node, next_tag opener default, namespace/parsed identity, normalize attribute order, paused_at_incomplete_token semantics.
+   These probes should require answer + cited markdown file/heading. No code execution and no hidden tests.
+
+3. Build scratch-only rendered-doc variants. Do not edit source docblocks for these variants. Test at least:
+   - depth-boundary equivalence card near next_token()/get_current_depth()
+   - factory lifecycle contract near create_fragment()/create_full_parser()
+   - where-text-lives matrix near get_token_type()/get_modifiable_text()
+   - method-heading contract cards
+   - signal-density pruning/relocation
+   Run paired shadow-doc A/B tests against the selected primary tier.
+
+4. Promote only winning variants to source docblocks, one hypothesis per commit. Each promoted edit must be general API documentation, not a task-shaped answer. Verify examples by executing probes through doc-experiment/harness/bootstrap.php where applicable.
+
+5. After each source docblock edit:
+   - run php doc-experiment/tools/docs-only-guard.php
+   - stage the next round with doc-experiment/tools/stage-round.sh
+   - run train scoring through the documented trial/judge/aggregate flow
+   - update doc-experiment/LOG.md with score, deltas, concept-level read, doc gaps, and the hypothesis outcome
+   - commit results and source edits separately where sensible, keeping one source hypothesis per commit
+
+Hard rules:
+- Never expose reference.php or tests.json to test-subject agents.
+- Test subjects may read only the staged markdown docs and task prompt.
+- Held-out tasks N01, N02, N05, H04 are checkpoint/regression sentinels only and must never drive edits.
+- Do not run every model tier against held-out every round.
+- Revert a hypothesis if the next comparable round drops more than 2 points or a previously passing task regresses across all trials.
+- Do not change PHP behavior; docblock-only source edits must preserve the comment-stripped token stream.
+- Keep @since tags intact and do not fabricate changelog entries.
+- Stop or pause after two flat rounds on the selected weak tier, when A/B tests stop producing concept-level signal, or if the remaining failures are generic model reasoning noise rather than documentation issues.
+
+Prioritize depth-boundary equivalence first unless calibration/probes show a stronger signal. The known T08 failure is that readers invert `continue while depth >= anchor_depth` into the wrong break condition; teach the equivalent break form explicitly: break only when depth drops below the anchor depth, not when it is equal.

-# Compare two HTML fragments
-
-Write a single PHP function:
-
-```php
-function is_same_html( string $a, string $b ): bool
-```
-
-Given two HTML fragments (as found inside `<body>`), determine whether they
-represent the same parsed structure — that is, whether a browser would
-build the same DOM from both. Differences in attribute quoting style,
-optional/implied closing tags, tag-name case, and equivalent character
-references do not change the structure. Differences in attribute **order**,
-element structure, attribute values, or text content do.
-
-If either input cannot be fully parsed/represented, return `false`.
-
-Examples:
-
-```php
-is_same_html( '<div><p>a', '<DIV><p>a</p></div>' )          // => true
-is_same_html( "<a href=x>go</a>", '<a href="x">go</a>' )    // => true

-I found the plan under `doc-experiment/`. The work is an experiment to improve only the docblocks for `WP_HTML_Tag_Processor` and `WP_HTML_Processor`, measured by how well weaker models solve hidden HTML API tasks using only rendered docs.
+# HTML API Documentation Improvement Goal
 
-Current state: round 17 hit `98.93` train with no edits, so the next phase should not blindly add doc prose. It should run diagnostics: weaker-tier calibration, discoverability probes, scratch A/B rendered-doc variants, then promote only winning changes to source docblocks.
+Improve the rendered documentation usability for `WP_HTML_Tag_Processor` and
+`WP_HTML_Processor`, measured by how well weaker models complete real HTML API
+tasks using only the staged rendered documentation.
 
-Use this goal prompt:
+The only source documentation hypothesis edits are docblock changes in:
 
-```text
-Continue the HTML API autonomous documentation improvement experiment in this repo.
+- `src/wp-includes/html-api/class-wp-html-tag-processor.php`
+- `src/wp-includes/html-api/class-wp-html-processor.php`
 
-Start by reading and internalizing:
-- doc-experiment/PLAN.md
-- doc-experiment/PROTOCOL.md
-- doc-experiment/NEXT-HYPOTHESES.md
-- doc-experiment/LOG.md
-- HANDOFF.md if present
+Do not change PHP behavior. Infrastructure/tooling changes are allowed only
+when needed to keep the experiment valid, and must be tracked separately from
+documentation hypothesis edits.
 
-Objective: improve the rendered documentation usability for WP_HTML_Tag_Processor and WP_HTML_Processor, but only by evidence-driven docblock changes to:
-- src/wp-includes/html-api/class-wp-html-tag-processor.php
-- src/wp-includes/html-api/class-wp-html-processor.php
+## Authoritative State
 
-Current phase: post-round-17 diagnostics. Do not start by making source edits. Round 17 train score was 98.93; the main remaining signal is discoverability/placement/signal-density, especially T08 traversal and the depth-boundary equivalence issue.
+`GOAL.md` defines the stable objective and guardrails. It must not be treated
+as the current phase record.
 
-Before scoring anything, check the current worktree and preserve existing user changes. Also reconcile the runner tooling with the current model policy: the plan says judges should be gpt-5.5/xhigh/priority and subjects should use one tier at a time from the ladder, but the workflow scripts may still contain legacy opus/haiku labels or hardcoded model values. Fix or explicitly record any tooling mismatch before trusting new scores.
+At the start of every run, determine the active phase and next action from:
 
-Run the next phase in this order:
+- `doc-experiment/PLAN.md` - experiment contract
+- `doc-experiment/PROTOCOL.md` - operational runbook
+- `doc-experiment/NEXT-HYPOTHESES.md` - current hypothesis backlog
+- `doc-experiment/LOG.md` - latest experiment narrative
+- `HANDOFF.md`, if present - recent operational handoff
+- `doc-experiment/results/round-*` - persisted measurements
+- `git status` - unresolved local drift
 
-1. No-edit weak-tier calibration on train tasks only, one subject tier at a time:
-   - gpt-5.4 / medium / priority
-   - gpt-5.4 / low / priority
-   - gpt-5.4-mini / high / priority
-   - gpt-5.4-mini / low / priority
-   Use one primary tier per scored run. Do not mix tiers into one round score. Pick the weakest tier that is not saturated but still mostly fails on HTML API documentation reasoning, not generic coding mistakes.
+If these sources conflict, pause scoring and reconcile the experiment state
+before continuing.
 
-2. Run citation-only discoverability probes for the contracts in NEXT-HYPOTHESES.md:
-   depth-boundary equivalence, factory lifecycle, where text lives, get_updated_html vs serialize vs serialize_token, breadcrumbs includes current node, next_tag opener default, namespace/parsed identity, normalize attribute order, paused_at_incomplete_token semantics.
-   These probes should require answer + cited markdown file/heading. No code execution and no hidden tests.
+## Start-of-Run Checklist
 
-3. Build scratch-only rendered-doc variants. Do not edit source docblocks for these variants. Test at least:
-   - depth-boundary equivalence card near next_token()/get_current_depth()
-   - factory lifecycle contract near create_fragment()/create_full_parser()
-   - where-text-lives matrix near get_token_type()/get_modifiable_text()
-   - method-heading contract cards
-   - signal-density pruning/relocation
-   Run paired shadow-doc A/B tests against the selected primary tier.
+Before making edits or running a score:
 
-4. Promote only winning variants to source docblocks, one hypothesis per commit. Each promoted edit must be general API documentation, not a task-shaped answer. Verify examples by executing probes through doc-experiment/harness/bootstrap.php where applicable.
+1. Inspect the worktree and preserve existing user changes.
+2. Identify the latest completed trusted round and its score.
+3. Identify the current round mode from `PROTOCOL.md`.
+4. Identify the current model policy, subject tier, judge tier, and whether the
+   subject tier has a no-edit baseline.
+5. Check whether source docs, tooling, corpus, or results changed since the last
+   trusted score.
+6. Determine the next action implied by the plan: calibration, probe, scratch
+   A/B, normal scoring, checkpoint, source promotion, revert, or stop.
+7. Record any mismatch before trusting new scores.
 
-5. After each source docblock edit:
-   - run php doc-experiment/tools/docs-only-guard.php
-   - stage the next round with doc-experiment/tools/stage-round.sh
-   - run train scoring through the documented trial/judge/aggregate flow
-   - update doc-experiment/LOG.md with score, deltas, concept-level read, doc gaps, and the hypothesis outcome
-   - commit results and source edits separately where sensible, keeping one source hypothesis per commit
+## Operating Rules
 
-Hard rules:
-- Never expose reference.php or tests.json to test-subject agents.
 - Test subjects may read only the staged markdown docs and task prompt.
-- Held-out tasks N01, N02, N05, H04 are checkpoint/regression sentinels only and must never drive edits.
-- Do not run every model tier against held-out every round.
-- Revert a hypothesis if the next comparable round drops more than 2 points or a previously passing task regresses across all trials.
-- Do not change PHP behavior; docblock-only source edits must preserve the comment-stripped token stream.
-- Keep @since tags intact and do not fabricate changelog entries.
-- Stop or pause after two flat rounds on the selected weak tier, when A/B tests stop producing concept-level signal, or if the remaining failures are generic model reasoning noise rather than documentation issues.
-
-Prioritize depth-boundary equivalence first unless calibration/probes show a stronger signal. The known T08 failure is that readers invert `continue while depth >= anchor_depth` into the wrong break condition; teach the equivalent break form explicitly: break only when depth drops below the anchor depth, not when it is equal.
-```
\ No newline at end of file
+- Never expose `reference.php`, `tests.json`, source files, logs, plans, or
+  hypothesis docs to test-subject agents.
+- Use one primary subject tier per scored round. Do not mix model tiers into a
+  main round score.
+- Use the judge/model policy from `PLAN.md` and `PROTOCOL.md`; if runner tooling
+  disagrees with that policy, fix or explicitly record the mismatch before
+  comparing scores.
+- Held-out tasks are checkpoint/regression sentinels only and must never drive
+  documentation edits.
+- Compare scores only across comparable rounds: same corpus, same round mode,
+  same primary subject tier, same judge policy, and compatible tooling.
+- Scratch rendered-doc variants must stay out of source docblocks until they win
+  by evidence.
+- Promote only general API documentation improvements, not task-shaped answers.
+- When trials, judges, or probes repeatedly reveal surprising API behavior,
+  recurring hallucinated methods, or missing API affordances, record the pattern
+  in a consistent backlog location for later consideration. Use
+  `doc-experiment/NEXT-HYPOTHESES.md` for documentation hypotheses, and keep
+  future API/design observations distinct from immediate docblock edits.
+- Keep `@since` tags intact and do not fabricate changelog entries.
+- After every source docblock edit, run the docs-only guard, stage docs, run the
+  appropriate scored flow, aggregate results, update `LOG.md`, and commit one
+  source hypothesis at a time.
+- Commit experiment results separately from source documentation hypotheses
+  where practical.
+- Stop or pause according to `PLAN.md`/`PROTOCOL.md`, especially when signal is
+  exhausted, failures are generic model noise, or the experiment state is
+  inconsistent.
+
+## Promotion Standard
+
+A source documentation edit is justified only when local evidence shows a
+specific documentation usability failure: missing contract, misleading wording,
+poor placement, low discoverability, or excessive rendered-doc noise.
+
+Evidence may come from scored train rounds, no-edit baselines, citation-only
+discoverability probes, judge analyses, or paired scratch-doc A/B tests.
+Held-out-only evidence is not sufficient.

Subject: [PATCH 063/193] Replace N03 with first list item count task

The previous incomplete-tail task was an adjacent API detail rather than a primary corpus exercise. The replacement keeps incomplete and unsupported input handling, but embeds it in a realistic operation: count direct list items, seek back, and add a computed attribute.

This also exercises depth-bounded traversal, tag closers, bookmarks, and fallback-to-original behavior without teaching paused_at_incomplete_token() as an isolated trick.

-# Detect truncated HTML
-
-Write a single PHP function:
-
-```php
-function has_incomplete_html_tail( string $html ): bool
-```
-
-Determine whether the document was cut off in the middle of an HTML token —
-for example, input that ends inside an unfinished tag, an unterminated
-comment, or an unclosed `SCRIPT` element whose contents run to the end of
-the input. Return `true` when the end of the input falls inside such an
-incomplete token; return `false` for input whose tokens are all complete.
-
-Note that some trailing syntax is complete by definition: a lone `<` at the
-end of input is just text, and unclosed elements like `<div>text` are
-structurally unclosed but lexically complete (every token is whole).
-
-Examples:
-
-```php
-has_incomplete_html_tail( '<p>all fine</p>' )        // => false
-has_incomplete_html_tail( '<div class="x' )          // => true
-has_incomplete_html_tail( '<!-- unfinished comment' ) // => true
-has_incomplete_html_tail( '<div>unclosed element' )   // => false

Subject: [PATCH 064/193] Replace N04 with normalize fallback task

The old task only asked whether normalization was possible, which made it feel like an API return-value quiz. The new task keeps the same normalization concept but makes it application-shaped: return normalized HTML, or a fixed placeholder when the processor cannot normalize the fragment.

The prompt now avoids teaching malformed-versus-unsupported cases directly; the hidden cases carry that distinction.

-# Check whether HTML can be normalized
-
-Write a single PHP function:
-
-```php
-function can_normalize_fragment( string $html ): bool
-```
-
-Given an HTML fragment (as found inside `<body>`), determine whether the
-HTML API can produce a fully-normalized serialization of it. Some markup —
-for example certain misnested formatting elements — is not yet supported
-by the HTML Processor, and normalization is not possible; return `false`
-for those inputs. Return `true` when normalization succeeds.
-
-Note that markup being malformed does not by itself mean normalization
-fails: unclosed tags, implied closing tags, and well-formed tables all
-normalize fine.
-
-Examples:
-
-```php
-can_normalize_fragment( '<div><p>fine' )                  // => true
-can_normalize_fragment( '<table><tr><td>ok</table>' )     // => true
-can_normalize_fragment( '<b>one<i>two</b>three</i>' )     // => false (unsupported misnesting)
-```

Subject: [PATCH 065/193] Tighten N05 document title task

The prompt no longer explains character-reference behavior or full-document boilerplate beyond what the task needs. The reference now uses next_tag( 'TITLE' ) to avoid a manual closer check, while guarding the HTML namespace so foreign-content title elements are not treated as the document title.

Subject: [PATCH 066/193] Replace N06 with table of contents extraction

The old HTML image-source task overlapped heavily with existing image and attribute collection tasks; its namespace nuance was not enough to justify a standalone corpus item. The replacement extracts H1-H6 entries for a table of contents, covering multi-heading traversal, nested heading text, implied heading boundaries, and structured output.

-# Collect HTML image sources, not SVG ones
-
-Write a single PHP function:
-
-```php
-function collect_html_img_sources( string $html ): array
-```
-
-Given an HTML fragment (as found inside `<body>`), return a list (numeric
-array) of the decoded `src` values of every HTML `img` element — as a
-browser would understand the document — in document order. SVG `<image>`
-elements (inside `<svg>`) are a different element in a different namespace
-and must be excluded. Skip images that have no `src` attribute or whose
-`src` has no value.
-
-Be careful: what counts as an HTML `img` element is defined by how
-browsers parse the markup, which is not always how it is spelled in the
-source.
-
-Example:
-
-```php
-collect_html_img_sources( '<p><img src="a.jpg"></p><svg><image href="v.svg" src="not-img.jpg"></svg>' )
-// => [ 'a.jpg' ]

Subject: [PATCH 067/193] Replace H04 with empty paragraph holdout

The heading outline task became redundant after N06 was expanded to extract H1-H6 table-of-contents entries. The replacement is a genuinely hard holdout: remove only literally empty HTML P elements while preserving whitespace, comments, child elements, parser-created content, and returning the original input on incomplete or unsupported fragments.

This intentionally tests token lookahead and normalized token rewriting without relying on the serialize_token plus attribute-mutation path that is currently buggy.

+function remove_empty_paragraphs( string $html ): string
+```
+
+Given an HTML fragment (as found inside `<body>`), remove every empty `P`
+element, and return a normalized serialization of the result. A paragraph
+is empty only when it contains nothing at all; whitespace or child elements
+count as content. If the fragment cannot be fully processed, return the
+original HTML unchanged.

-# HTML API autonomous documentation improvement
-
-## Goal
-
-Improve the usability of `WP_HTML_Tag_Processor` and `WP_HTML_Processor` (only `src/wp-includes/html-api/class-wp-html-{tag-,}processor.php`), measured by how well weaker models complete real tasks using **only** rendered documentation. Full design contract: `doc-experiment/PLAN.md`. Runbook with exact prompts and judge rubric: `doc-experiment/PROTOCOL.md`. Narrative so far: `doc-experiment/LOG.md`. Post-round-17 hypotheses and diagnostic sequence: `doc-experiment/NEXT-HYPOTHESES.md`.
-
-Use Codex model settings directly, not legacy opus/sonnet/haiku labels. Judges are always `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` / `priority` when available. Test subjects use one primary tier per scored round, stepping down only after no-edit calibration: `gpt-5.4`/`medium`/`priority`, `gpt-5.4`/`low`/`priority`, `gpt-5.4-mini`/`high`/`priority`, then `gpt-5.4-mini`/`low`/`priority`.
-
-## Pipeline (one round)
-
-1. `php doc-experiment/tools/docs-only-guard.php` — must pass after any doc edit (comment-stripped token stream identical to HEAD, `php -l`, `@since` untouched).
-2. `sh doc-experiment/tools/stage-round.sh <N>` — regenerates `artifacts/*.json` via `/Users/jonsurrell/a8c/phpdoc-parser/generate-json-manually.php` (absolute path required), renders markdown, stages `/tmp/html-api-docs-eval/round-NN/` containing only the two `.md` docs. Then copy each active task's `task.md` to `<scratch>/tasks/<task-id>.md`.
-3. Trials: use one selected primary subject tier for the scored round; do **not** mix model tiers into the main score. Example shape: `Workflow({scriptPath: "doc-experiment/tools/trials-workflow.js", args: {scratch, taskIds: [...], trialsPerTask: 3, model: "gpt-5.4", reasoningEffort: "medium", serviceTier: "priority"}})` if the workflow supports those fields. Use agent type `docs-test-subject` (`.claude/agents/`, Read+Grep only) — it registers in fresh sessions. Test subjects may read only scratch files; never expose `reference.php`/`tests.json`; spot-check transcripts for external reads.
-4. `python3 doc-experiment/tools/persist-trials.py doc-experiment/results/round-NN < trials.json` — writes candidates and executes each against hidden tests in the standalone harness (`doc-experiment/harness/`, subprocess isolation, 10s timeout).
-5. Judges: `Workflow({scriptPath: "doc-experiment/tools/judge-workflow.js", args: {repoRoot, round: "round-NN", scratch, taskIds, model: "gpt-5.5", reasoningEffort: "xhigh", serviceTier: "priority"}})` if supported — one strongest judge per task; persist `judge.json` per task.
-6. `python3 doc-experiment/tools/aggregate-round.py doc-experiment/results/round-NN` → `round-summary.json`. Review **per-concept**, not just aggregate.
-7. Update `LOG.md`, commit results, then choose the next action. Post-round-17 default is diagnostic first: no-edit weak-tier calibration, citation-only discoverability probes, scratch-rendered A/B variants, then source docblock edits only after evidence. Source edits still require one commit per hypothesis (verify every doc example by execution first; probe via `php -r 'require "doc-experiment/harness/bootstrap.php"; …'`).
-
-## Rules
-
-- Score: trial = 0.7·(pass fraction·100) + 0.3·adherence; task = mean of 3 trials; round = mean over tasks.
-- Revert a hypothesis commit on >2-point round drop or a clean task regression.
-- Held-out tasks (N01, N02, N05, H04) run only on checkpoint rounds (every 3rd + final) and **never drive doc edits**.
-- Do not run every agent tier against held-out every round. Holdout is for primary-tier checkpoint/final rounds or diagnostic sentinels only; if seen in cross-tier panels, it still must not drive edits.
-- Train = T01–T12 (T01/T02 are smoke) + N03, N04, N06. Retired: `corpus-retired/H01–H03`.
-- Stop/pause after 2 consecutive flat rounds on the selected weak tier, when diagnostic A/B tests stop producing concept-level signal, or on Jon's interrupt. Report after every round.
-
-## Known operational hazards
-
-- Workflow `args` may arrive as a string — scripts already parse defensively.
-- Strong-judge session limits can kill a judge fan-out (returns `[]` with failures listed); just relaunch after reset — trial executions are already persisted and nothing is lost.
-- Expected outputs are frozen; regenerate (`--generate`) only when a reference intentionally changes, and review the diff.
-
-## Vocabulary
-
-- Legacy logs may say "opus", "sonnet", or "haiku"; treat those as historical role labels, not current model choices.
-- Current judges: `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` / `priority`.
-- Current test-subject ladder: `gpt-5.4` / `medium`, `gpt-5.4` / `low`, `gpt-5.4-mini` / `high`, `gpt-5.4-mini` / `low`, all on `priority` when available.

+- Train core: T03–T12 plus N03 (first list direct-child count), N04

+  Current train concepts cover attributes, classes, normalization,
+  serialization, text, and traversal.
 - Train smoke: T01, T02 — basic sanity checks, kept in the round score
   but reviewed separately; they must not dominate coverage.
 - Held-out: N01 (class removal), N02 (contextual selection with
   breadcrumbs), N05 (full-document title via create_full_parser),
-  H04 (advanced subtree text extraction).
+  H04 (empty-paragraph normalized removal).
 - Retired to corpus-retired/ (too close to train patterns to give
   held-out anti-overfitting value): H01, H02, H03.
 
 Every active task carries labels in tests.json — role (core/smoke), commonness
 (high/medium/low), concept (attributes, classes, text, traversal,
-serialization, full-document, failure-handling, namespace), and intended
+serialization, full-document, normalization), and intended
 processor (tag/html/either). Rounds are reviewed per concept, not only by
 aggregate score, so a high aggregate cannot hide an untaught concept.

+Infrastructure-only follow-up, no source docblock edits and no PHP behavior
+changes. Added `prepare-round.py` as the preferred round-preparation entry
+point: it stages rendered docs, copies only selected task prompts into
+scratch, and records mode/model/task metadata under the result directory.

 Hypothesis → outcome narrative, one entry per round. Newest first.
 
+## Round 18 — prepared current-corpus no-edit baseline, not scored
+
+Prepared the required current-corpus weak-tier calibration round with no source
+docblock edits: `round-metadata.json` records 15 train tasks, subject
+`gpt-5.4` / `medium` / `priority`, judge `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` / `priority`,
+and the staged scratch directory `/tmp/html-api-docs-eval/round-18`.
+Scratch isolation passed: only the two rendered docs and selected task prompts
+are exposed. No subject trials, hidden-test executions, judge verdicts, or
+round summary exist yet, so round 18 is not a trusted score.

+Added a local Codex CLI trial runner to avoid deadlocking on the external
+Workflow UI when it is unavailable. The runner writes the same trial-output
+shape as the Workflow script, but records `subject_isolation.isolation_mode`
+as `isolated-workdir`: each subject gets a private non-repo directory
+containing only the two rendered docs, one task prompt, and the output schema;

+approval policy is `never`. Scores from this runner must be compared only with
+rounds using the same isolation mode.

 Added `validate-round.py` as an artifact lifecycle gate. It reports whether a
 round is prepared, partially trialed, trial-complete, judged, or scored, and it
 lists missing trial, judge, or summary files before a score can be trusted.

+`incomplete-token-inside-list` and `incomplete-comment-inside-list`. No judge
+verdicts or round summary exist yet, so round 18 is still not a trusted score.
 
 Added a local Codex CLI trial runner to avoid deadlocking on the external
 Workflow UI when it is unavailable. The runner writes the same trial-output

+
+Locations:
+- Task spec subjects saw: {REPO_ROOT}/doc-experiment/corpus/{task_id}/task.md
+- Canonical reference: {REPO_ROOT}/doc-experiment/corpus/{task_id}/reference.php
+- Hidden tests + frozen expectations: {REPO_ROOT}/doc-experiment/corpus/{task_id}/tests.json
+- Trials: {REPO_ROOT}/doc-experiment/results/{round_name}/{task_id}/trial-N/ directories, each containing candidate.php, response.json, and execution.json
+- The exact docs subjects saw: {scratch}/html-tag-processor.md and {scratch}/html-processor.md
+- HTML API source files: {REPO_ROOT}/src/wp-includes/html-api/class-wp-html-tag-processor.php and {REPO_ROOT}/src/wp-includes/html-api/class-wp-html-processor.php
+
+Score each trial's ADHERENCE 0-100 by this rubric:
+- Correct processor choice for the job (max 30)
+- No hallucinated or undocumented API usage (max 30). Verify every method the
+  candidate calls exists in the two markdown files. `_doing_it_wrong` records
+  in execution.json also indicate misuse.
+- Idiomatic use of documented patterns: token walking, bookmarks,
+  breadcrumbs, get_updated_html, serialize_token (max 25)
+- Graceful handling of edge cases the docs describe: null/true/'' attribute
+  semantics, decoded vs raw text, incomplete input (max 15)
+
+Functional correctness is measured separately by execution.json. Do not
+double-count correctness in adherence, but use failing cases to identify the
+misunderstanding.
+
+Write failure_analysis: for each failed hidden case across trials, identify
+the specific misconception and the documentation passage, heading, or absence
+responsible. If all trials passed everything, analyze what the docs did well
+and any near-misses in the explanations.
+
+List doc_gaps as concrete, generalizable docblock improvements. Never suggest
+embedding this task's solution into the docs; suggest the general contract or
+example that would have prevented the failure.
+
+You may verify actual API behavior with read-only probes:
+  php -r 'require "{REPO_ROOT}/doc-experiment/harness/bootstrap.php"; <probe code>'
+
+Do not modify files. Return structured output matching the supplied schema.

-## Round 18 — prepared current-corpus no-edit baseline, not scored
+## Round 18 — current-corpus weak-tier baseline scored
+
+**Train 98.73 / core 98.54** under the current corpus and current weak-tier
+policy: subject `gpt-5.4` / `medium` / `priority`, judge `gpt-5.5` /
+`xhigh` / `priority`, 15 train tasks × 3 trials. This is the first trusted
+current-corpus no-edit baseline after the post-round-17 corpus refresh; round
+17 remains historical and is not a comparable baseline for source edits.
+
+The baseline is nearly saturated but still has one strong train signal:
+N03-first-list-count scored 85.07, with all three trials passing 9/11 and
+failing only `incomplete-token-inside-list` and
+`incomplete-comment-inside-list`. Judges agreed on the root cause: subjects
+used the documented HTML Processor depth-bounded subtree pattern and trusted
+virtual closers as proof that the bounded region was fully scanned. The docs
+do not connect that pattern to `paused_at_incomplete_token()`: after truncated
+syntax at the end of input, `WP_HTML_Processor` can still emit virtual closers
+while `paused_at_incomplete_token()` remains true and `get_last_error()` stays
+null. The next source hypothesis should be general, not task-shaped: document
+that region scans which will drive mutations must treat a depth drop as a
+structural boundary only, then separately check incomplete-token and parser
+error state before trusting the scan.
+
+Concept means: attributes 100.00, classes 100.00, normalization 100.00,
+serialization 99.90, text 99.03, traversal 96.81. Secondary non-failing gaps
+remain useful as low-risk polish candidates, especially factory null/failure
+fallbacks, where text lives, special-element text lists, and clearer
+get_updated_html vs serialize()/serialize_token() contracts, but they should
+not displace the measured N03 failure unless diagnostic probes show higher
+signal at a weaker tier.

+### 0. Incomplete-token guard for HTML Processor region scans
+
+Core idea: connect the documented subtree-walk/depth-boundary pattern to the
+existing incomplete-token API. A depth drop or virtual closer proves that the
+HTML parser unwound the element stack; it does not prove the source region was
+complete. After a forward scan that will drive a mutation or other trusted
+result, callers should check both parser abort state and incomplete-token
+state:
+
+- `get_last_error()` / `get_unsupported_exception()` for unsupported parser
+  states.
+- `paused_at_incomplete_token()` for lexical truncation at the input tail.
+- A bounded scan can visit virtual closers after truncation while
+  `paused_at_incomplete_token()` is true and `get_last_error()` is still null.
+
+Why this is strong: round 18's only functional train failure was exactly this
+gap. All three N03 trials used the documented depth-bounded HTML Processor
+walk, passed ordinary omitted-end-tag and malformed-list cases, and failed
+only incomplete token/comment tails inside the scanned list.
+
+Risk: low-medium. Keep it framed as a general scan-completion contract, not as
+a list-counting recipe. Best placement is near
+`WP_HTML_Processor::next_token()`, `get_current_depth()`, and the inherited
+`paused_at_incomplete_token()` docs/cross-reference.
+
 ### 1. Depth-boundary equivalence card
 
 Core idea: make the subtree-walk boundary mechanically hard to copy wrong.

The misconception was that reaching a closing UL token via a depth drop means the first list was fully scanned. Actual behavior is subtler: WP_HTML_Processor can emit virtual closing tokens for the open LI and UL after the underlying tokenizer pauses at the incomplete `<img` token; paused_at_incomplete_token() is true while get_last_error() remains null. The responsible docs are the WP_HTML_Processor::next_token() heading, which says the processor visits closing tokens for elements left unclosed at end of input, and the get_current_depth() subtree-walk example, which teaches ending a walk on depth drop. The missing connection is that a depth drop proves only that the parser unwound the element stack, not that no incomplete syntax was encountered inside that bounded region.\n\nFailed case incomplete-comment-inside-list: the same misconception occurred for `<ul><li><!-- cut`. The candidates interpreted the synthetic LI and UL closers as a normal completion boundary. The Tag Processor paused_at_incomplete_token() docs do say to drain tokens before checking whether input ended mid-token, but that documentation lives under WP_HTML_Tag_Processor and uses Tag Processor examples; the HTML Processor next_token()/get_current_depth() examples do not show the corresponding guard after a bounded fragment walk.

+## Round 19 — generic region-scan recipe lands
+
+**Train 99.59 / core 99.53** against the current train corpus with subject
+`gpt-5.4` / `medium` / `priority` and judge `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` /
+`priority`. This scored the round-18 N03 hypothesis as a source docblock edit:
+add a class-level HTML Processor recipe for "scan a region before editing its
+opener," plus compact method-local guard notes in `next_token()` and
+`get_current_depth()`.
+
+Outcome: N03-first-list-count moved from 85.07 to 100.00. All three trials
+passed 11/11 hidden cases and received 100 adherence. The candidates used the
+documented pattern directly: bookmark the opener, walk the bounded region with
+`next_token()` and `get_current_depth()`, reject incomplete or unsupported
+scans with `paused_at_incomplete_token()` and `get_last_error()`, seek back,
+mutate with `set_attribute()`, and read with `get_updated_html()`.
+
+All 45 subject trials passed all hidden tests. Concept means: attributes
+100.00, classes 100.00, normalization 100.00, serialization 99.80, text
+98.77, traversal 99.60. Small adherence-only movement on T05/T06/T08 remains
+well under the revert threshold, and no previously passing task regressed
+functionally.
+
+Round-19 judge residuals are now lower-signal polish: the stale
+`next_token()` "do not use" since note, a direct-child predicate
+(`get_current_depth() === $parent_depth + 1`), read-only extraction policy
+for partial scans, and factory/serialization fallback clarity. The measured
+N03 failure is resolved.

That made the intended solution discoverable without token walking, bookmarks, `get_updated_html()`, or `serialize_token()`. Near miss: the `normalize()` examples are all successful examples, while the unsupported/null contract is split between the broader HTML Support section and the method return line. Execution also shows unsupported cases emit an internal `WP_HTML_Processor::serialize` warning while returning `null`; this did not affect adherence, but the behavior is not obvious from the `normalize()` method docs alone.",

The docs did well on the critical concepts for this task: `html-tag-processor.md` explicitly says to use the HTML Processor when structure matters, including collecting element text and handling implied or missing closing tags; `html-processor.md` documents `create_fragment()` for body fragments; `next_token()` explains that text may be split across multiple `#text` tokens, that one cursor advances through the document, and that virtual closing tokens are visited; `get_current_depth()` gives the exact depth-bounded subtree recipe with `>=`; and `get_modifiable_text()` states that `#text` is decoded while raw-text sections are carried on the element token. The near miss is visible across all trials: each candidate appended `get_modifiable_text()` on non-closing tag tokens to account for SCRIPT/STYLE/TITLE/TEXTAREA-like content. That is defensible from the docs, but the general recipe for 'element text content' is scattered across `next_token()` and `get_modifiable_text()`, so less capable models had to synthesize it themselves. Trial 1 also used a nested `next_tag()` plus bounded `next_token()` loop even though `next_token()` warns against nested walk loops for repeated regions; it works here because headings cannot contain other headings in the parsed tree and virtual closers are visited before the next heading opener, but the docs could make that safe/unsafe distinction more explicit.",

The set_attribute() and set_modifiable_text() sections explicitly state that callers pass plain unescaped strings and the API performs HTML encoding, which covered ampersands, quotes, angle brackets, Unicode, and script-like caption text. The attribute placement subsection prevented the common order bug where newly added attributes are sorted rather than emitted in call order. Near-misses: the candidates copied the template example’s unchecked set_modifiable_text() call even though that method says to check the return value; this is acceptable for a fixed known template but less robust for dynamic templates.

The `get_modifiable_text()` sections in both docs clearly state that `#text`, `TEXTAREA`, and `TITLE` text is already decoded UTF-8 and should be sliced with explicit UTF-8 `mb_*` calls. The near-miss is processor choice: trials 1 and 3 passed using the Tag Processor because the hidden cases stayed compatible with lexical token walking, but the HTML Processor docs explicitly say to choose HTML Processor for collecting text content, walking subtrees, and handling implied or missing closing tags.

The main near-miss was text carried on atomic/RCDATA elements. Trial 1 passed the frozen tests but would return empty text for a link containing TEXTAREA because it only accumulates #text tokens. That misconception is not from a total absence of documentation: html-processor.md next_token() says SCRIPT, STYLE, TITLE, and TEXTAREA produce no #text child tokens, and get_modifiable_text() says their text is carried on the element token. The issue is that the prominent subtree text recipe still shows only the #text-token path, so the exception is easy to miss. Another near-miss is that WP_HTML_Processor::get_attribute() lacks the decoded-string sentence present in WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::get_attribute(); the subjects saw both files and inferred correctly, but the subclass method docs alone are under-specified for decoded href values.",

The processor-choice docs also helped: the HTML Processor overview says it provides normalized serialization and implied/virtual closing tags, while the Tag Processor is for flatter byte-preserving edits. A near-miss remains around get_tag(): the serialize_token() example demonstrates that checking get_tag() skips both openers and closers, but the get_tag() method section itself does not explicitly state closer-token behavior when using next_token().

+Follow-up citation-only probe: a text-content recipe probe asked how to collect
+an element's text, where SCRIPT/STYLE/TITLE/TEXTAREA contents appear, and what
+not to append. All three `gpt-5.4` / `medium` subjects answered correctly and

+Round-19 probe result: a direct citation-only text-content recipe probe passed
+3/3 at the current `gpt-5.4` / `medium` tier. Subjects found the existing
+depth-bounded `#text` accumulation recipe and the SCRIPT/STYLE/TITLE/TEXTAREA

This works because an element’s text may be split across several consecutive `#text` tokens. The exception is `SCRIPT`, `STYLE`, `TITLE`, and `TEXTAREA`: they produce no `#text` child tokens, and their contents live on the element’s own opening token, so read them with `get_modifiable_text()` while matched on that element. Code should avoid appending tag tokens or assuming one token holds all text, and for those atomic elements it should avoid waiting for `#text` children because none exist.",

+## Round 20 — low-effort weak-tier calibration still saturated
+
+**Train 99.43 / core 99.34** under `weak-tier-calibration`, with subjects
+`gpt-5.4` / `low` / `priority` and judge `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` /
+`priority`. This was a no-edit calibration round using the round-19 source
+docs to test whether one step down the subject ladder gives a less saturated
+measurement instrument.
+
+Outcome: the tier is still functionally saturated on the current train corpus.
+All 45 subject trials passed all hidden tests. Concept means: attributes
+100.00, classes 100.00, normalization 100.00, serialization 99.40, text
+98.47, traversal 99.44.
+
+The round does produce useful adherence-only signal, especially for generic
+main-class recipe candidates:
+- T05-text-excerpt was the lowest task at 96.70, with all three trials passing
+  10/10 but adherence 90/88/89. Judge notes point to scattered guidance for
+  DOM-style text extraction: use `WP_HTML_Processor`, filter ordinary text
+  with `get_token_type() === '#text'`, skip comments and attributes, and opt
+  into element-carried text only when wanted.
+- N06-extract-toc scored 98.50. Trial 3 passed hidden cases but overused
+  `get_modifiable_text()` on non-closing named tokens; a judge probe showed it
+  would include comment text in a heading. This reinforces the same
+  "where text lives" / "DOM text versus modifiable text" gap.
+- T09-mark-keyword scored 98.80. Trial 3 over-applied incomplete-input and
+  normalization fallback guidance after a token-rewrite loop, risking loss of
+  accumulated edits. This supports a clearer token-rewrite completion policy,
+  not a task-shaped example.
+
+Interpretation: `gpt-5.4` / `low` is not a meaningfully weaker measuring
+instrument for functional failures, but it strengthens the case for a
+scratch-tested generic recipe block in the class-level docs: text extraction
+and token-rewrite recipes should teach broad API contracts rather than solve
+specific corpus tasks. Per the subject ladder, the next measurement action is
+a no-edit `gpt-5.4-mini` / `high` / `priority` calibration before using weaker
+tier results to promote another source docblock hypothesis.

+Round 20 calibrated the next subject setting,
+`gpt-5.4` / `low` / `priority`, against the same current docs. It scored
+99.43 train / 99.34 core with every hidden test passing, so this tier is still

+Round-20 calibration result: `gpt-5.4` / `low` remained functionally
+saturated, but gave repeated adherence-only evidence for this hypothesis.
+T05 was the lowest task (96.70) with all trials passing hidden tests but

Processor choice and basic traversal are right, but the text-collection branch is overbroad: inside a heading it appends `get_modifiable_text()` for any non-closing token with a token name, not just `#text` nodes or selected text-bearing element tokens. A read-only probe with `<h2>A<!--hidden-->B</h2>` returned `AhiddenB`, unlike the reference and trials 1-2, because comment interiors are also modifiable text. This is a documented distinction, so the implementation is less idiomatic despite passing the hidden cases."

The docs did well on the core decision points: the WP_HTML_Processor overview says to choose it when document structure matters, including collecting element text and handling implied/virtual closing tags; the `next_token()` section explicitly says to use token walking when text and non-tag content matters, that one cursor is shared, and that the processor visits a closer for every opener including implicit and end-of-input closes; `get_modifiable_text()` states that `#text` content is decoded, which explains the `B & C` case; and `get_token_name()`/`get_tag()` document uppercase tag names, which supports case-insensitive source handling. The main near-miss was trial 3's overgeneralization of `get_modifiable_text()`: the docs say comments and processing-instruction-like tokens also have modifiable text even though they are not DOM text content, but this warning is easy to miss when trying to extract visible descendant text. Another near-miss is that the docs contain both a warning against nested token walks and examples of bounded subtree walks; the candidates avoided trouble by using single-pass state machines, but the relationship between those two patterns could be clearer. None of the candidates checked `get_last_error()` or incomplete-token state after traversal; the existing docs mention this mainly for mutations or callers that must reject truncation, so the omission did not affect this read-only task.",

The unclosed-H1 case was also covered by next_token() documentation saying the HTML Processor visits closing tokens for elements left unclosed at end of input. The main near-miss is trial-2's #text-only collector: hidden tests did not include TITLE/TEXTAREA/SCRIPT/STYLE inside H1, but the docs explicitly say those elements produce no #text child tokens and carry their text on the element token. Trials 1 and 3 handled that; trial 2 would return an empty string for those cases. A second near-miss is documentation inconsistency around atomic elements: one rendered Tag Processor passage lists NOFRAME while another lists NOFRAMES, and NOSCRIPT is described both as raw plaintext and as descended into when scripting is disabled. That did not break these trials, but it makes the special-element contract harder to apply confidently.",

The set_attribute() and set_modifiable_text() sections also clearly state that callers should pass normal unescaped strings and the API will encode them. The main near-miss is internal doc tension: the next_token() method section still says the Tag Processor currently only supports the tag token, while other sections and examples rely on #text tokens.

That appears to have prevented the common mistakes of using next_tag(), double-decoding entities, counting raw SCRIPT/STYLE content, or missing TITLE/TEXTAREA content. The near-miss is processor selection: all trials chose the lexical WP_HTML_Tag_Processor even though the HTML Processor docs say to use WP_HTML_Processor when structure, body-fragment parsing, implied closers, or collecting text content matters.

The docs did well on the main concepts: the WP_HTML_Processor overview explicitly says to choose it for document structure and containment checks; the Breadcrumbs section explains that get_breadcrumbs() returns the full stack including implicit HTML/BODY and the current node; next_tag() documents that closers are skipped by default; add_class() documents preserving existing classes and appending the new class; get_updated_html() is clearly presented as the byte-preserving output method after queued edits. The only near-miss was defensive handling around parser aborts and incomplete tokens. Trial-2 treated paused_at_incomplete_token() as a reason to discard all edits, and all trials treated get_last_error() as a reason to return the original HTML. That is a plausible reading of the safety guidance, but the rendered docs do not clearly distinguish complete-token local edits from mutations whose correctness depends on a fully clean scan of the whole region.",

The next_tag() documentation says string tag-name queries are valid, matching ignores tag-name case, and tag-like text inside comments is not matched, which explains the comment-h2-not-counted pass. The Bookmarks section explicitly documents the key contract that re-setting an existing bookmark name moves it and is the supported way to remember the last matching tag in one pass. The add_class() docs cover creating a missing class attribute, appending to an existing class list, and avoiding duplicates, which explains the existing-class pass. get_updated_html() is also clearly documented as the way to read queued class edits while preserving untouched bytes.

The Tag Processor usage section documents direct construction with new WP_HTML_Tag_Processor($html), next_tag() with no query for scanning every tag, remove_attribute() for safe removal, and get_updated_html() as the correct way to retrieve edited markup while preserving untouched bytes. The get_attribute_names_with_prefix() section is especially decisive: it advertises exactly the needed operation, says names are returned lowercased, says matching is case-insensitive, and shows null when no tag opener is matched. Near-misses were minor: the candidates guarded only against null, not an empty array, but foreach over an empty array would still be fine; they did not need decoded/raw attribute-value semantics because they never read values.

The `next_token()` section also explains why unclosed elements are still handled: the HTML Processor visits closing tokens for elements left unclosed at end of input. The main near-miss is that the successful solution depends on `get_tag()` returning the tag name for both opener and closer tag tokens; that is clear from the `serialize_token()` example, but less explicit in the `get_tag()` contract itself. Trial 2’s post-loop `get_last_error()` check shows another near-miss: the docs discuss unsupported-parser aborts and incomplete-token pauses in several places, but the distinction between a normalized best-effort token serialization loop and a scan that must reject truncation could be easier to find.",

+Follow-up citation-only probe: a generic text/rewrite recipe probe at
+`gpt-5.4` / `low` asked for (1) DOM-style text collection from a subtree and
+(2) token-by-token rewrite completion policy when input may end incomplete or
+unsupported. All three subjects found the DOM-style `#text` recipe and cited
+the rendered docs correctly, but all three gave an over-conservative rewrite
+policy: reject or fall back whenever `paused_at_incomplete_token()` is true.
+That repeats the round-20 T09 near-miss where a rewrite loop risks discarding
+already-emitted changes by re-normalizing the original HTML. The evidence
+supports a narrow generic recipe/source hypothesis: token-by-token rewrites
+should distinguish unsupported parser aborts from acceptable best-effort
+omission of an incomplete trailing token, and should make the accumulated
+output the rewrite.

+Round-20 follow-up probe result: a direct generic recipe probe at
+`gpt-5.4` / `low` found the DOM-style text recipe in all three trials, so the
+text rows alone are still a placement/density hypothesis rather than a missing
+fact. The same probe exposed a stronger rewrite-policy gap: all three trials
+over-applied `paused_at_incomplete_token()` and recommended rejecting every
+rewrite after incomplete trailing syntax, even when a best-effort normalized
+rewrite of visited tokens would be acceptable. This supports promoting a
+generic HTML Processor recipe that separates unsupported parser aborts from
+caller policy for incomplete trailing tokens.

 Risk: medium-low if phrased as a token model instead of a task recipe.

+        "answer": "1) To collect DOM-style text from an element subtree, use `WP_HTML_Processor`, not `WP_HTML_Tag_Processor`, because the HTML Processor has structural awareness and is recommended when “collecting an element's text content” or “walking a subtree.” Match the target opener with `next_tag()`, record `get_current_depth()`, then loop with `next_token()` while `get_current_depth() >=` the recorded depth, appending only tokens whose `get_token_type()` is `#text`. This skips comments, attributes, and unrelated modifiable text automatically, because comments are separate token types and ordinary container elements carry no text of their own. For elements whose contents cannot contain markup (`SCRIPT`, `STYLE`, `TITLE`, `TEXTAREA`), do not look for `#text` children; read `get_modifiable_text()` on the element’s opening token instead. Returning the accumulated text is acceptable when you only need extracted text; if the result will drive a mutation or must reject truncated/unsupported input, finish the bounded walk and require both `! paused_at_incomplete_token()` and `null === get_last_error()`, otherwise reject or fall back.\n\n2) To finish a token-by-token rewrite with `serialize_token()`, use `WP_HTML_Processor` and concatenate `serialize_token()` for each token returned by `next_token()`, skipping both opener and closer when dropping an element. Returning the accumulated output is acceptable only if the walk finished without truncation or unsupported markup. If `next_token()` stops because the input ended in the middle of a token, the docs say it pauses and returns `false`; if unsupported markup appears, the HTML Processor aborts early, `get_last_error()` becomes non-null, and output-producing methods like `serialize()` return `null`. The rendered docs do not explicitly state a final contract for token-by-token rewrites, but the nearest documented rule is the scan-finished-cleanly check used before edits: after the loop, accept the accumulated rewrite only when `! paused_at_incomplete_token()` and `null === get_last_error()`. Otherwise the caller should reject the rewrite or fall back, because the processor may have stopped at incomplete syntax or an unsupported parser state.",

  * and {@see WP_HTML_Processor::get_last_error} for unsupported markup before
  * applying the edit.
  *
+ * #### Recipe: collect DOM-style text from a subtree
+ *
+ * Text extraction is usually a tree-aware operation, so use the HTML
+ * Processor and walk the subtree. Append only ordinary `#text` tokens unless
+ * you intentionally want some other token type. Do not call
+ * {@see WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::get_modifiable_text} on every token: comments,
+ * processing instructions, and special element tokens can also carry
+ * modifiable text, but they are not ordinary DOM text descendants.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *
+ *     $processor = WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment( $html );
+ *     if ( $processor->next_tag( 'ARTICLE' ) ) {
+ *         $article_depth = $processor->get_current_depth();
+ *         $text          = '';
+ *
+ *         while ( $processor->next_token() && $processor->get_current_depth() >= $article_depth ) {
+ *             if ( '#text' === $processor->get_token_type() ) {
+ *                 $text .= $processor->get_modifiable_text();
+ *             }
+ *         }
+ *     }
+ *
+ * Text in SCRIPT, STYLE, TITLE, and TEXTAREA is different: those elements do
+ * not expose their contents as child `#text` tokens. If a caller wants that
+ * text, read it from the element's own opening token with
+ * {@see WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::get_modifiable_text}; otherwise the `#text`
+ * filter above skips it naturally.
+ *
+ * #### Recipe: rewrite while serializing tokens
+ *
+ * Use {@see WP_HTML_Processor::serialize_token} when output is built while
+ * walking tokens: append the current token's normalized serialization, skip
+ * tokens to remove them, or emit extra markup around selected tokens. The
+ * accumulated string is the rewrite; do not later call `normalize()` on the
+ * original HTML unless the intention is to discard every change emitted by the
+ * loop.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *
+ *     $processor = WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment( $html );
+ *     $output    = '';
+ *
+ *     while ( $processor->next_token() ) {
+ *         if ( '#comment' === $processor->get_token_type() ) {
+ *             continue;
+ *         }
+ *
+ *         $output .= $processor->serialize_token();
+ *     }
+ *
+ *     if ( null !== $processor->get_last_error() ) {
+ *         return null;
+ *     }
+ *
+ *     return $output;
+ *
+ * Decide separately whether incomplete trailing syntax is acceptable. A
+ * token-by-token rewrite omits an incomplete token that was never visited,
+ * which is the right best-effort policy for some normalizing filters. If the
+ * caller needs proof that the source ended cleanly, also reject when
+ * {@see WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::paused_at_incomplete_token} is true. Always
+ * reject or fall back when {@see WP_HTML_Processor::get_last_error} is
+ * non-null, because the parser stopped at unsupported markup.

+## Round 21 — generic HTML Processor recipes are mixed
+
+**Train 98.97 / core 98.81** under `scored-train`, with subjects
+`gpt-5.4` / `low` / `priority` and judge `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` /
+`priority`. This scored the generic main-class recipe hypothesis from commit
+`27077e06b1`: add HTML Processor class-level recipes for collecting
+DOM-style text from a subtree and rewriting while serializing tokens, plus a
+method-local `serialize_token()` completion-policy note.
+
+Outcome: keep for now under the protocol's revert rule, but this is not a
+clean win. Round score moved from the round-20 low-effort no-edit calibration
+99.43 to 98.97 (-0.46), below the 2-point revert threshold. All but one
+subject trial passed all hidden tests; N03 trial 2 failed 10/11 because it
+treated sequential filtered `next_tag( 'UL' )` then `next_tag( 'OL' )` calls
+as alternate searches from the same cursor. Judges attributed that to missing
+`WP_HTML_Processor::next_tag()` cursor/lookahead guidance, not to the recipe
+edit.
+
+The target tasks were mixed:
+- T09-mark-keyword improved slightly from 98.80 to 99.20. The new
+  `serialize_token()` policy avoided the exact probe failure where subjects
+  rejected all incomplete trailing syntax, but judges still saw inconsistent
+  fallback choices for factory failure and unsupported parser aborts.
+- T05-text-excerpt fell from 96.70 to 94.40, with all three trials still
+  passing hidden tests but choosing `WP_HTML_Tag_Processor` for text
+  extraction. The new HTML Processor text recipe did not overcome the existing
+  Tag Processor lexical-token text example, which still looks like a ready
+  whole-fragment text-content recipe.
+- N06 improved from 98.50 to 98.90, but two trials over-opted into special
+  element text while extracting heading text, reinforcing that
+  "modifiable text" is broader than ordinary parsed text.
+
+Interpretation: a broad HTML Processor recipe block is not enough. The next
+evidence-backed source hypothesis should clarify the Tag Processor text-walk
+example as lexical token processing and cross-reference the HTML Processor for
+parsed BODY-fragment text, implied closing behavior, tree order, and
+unsupported-markup policy. Separately, `WP_HTML_Processor::next_tag()` needs a
+small cursor/lookahead warning and a first-of-several-tags idiom, but that is
+a different hypothesis.

+Round-21 result: a broad HTML Processor class-level recipe plus
+`serialize_token()` policy note was mixed. The rewrite portion improved
+T09-mark-keyword slightly, but the text portion did not improve processor
+choice in T05; all three subjects still selected `WP_HTML_Tag_Processor`.
+Before adding more text recipes, clarify the Tag Processor text-walk example
+as lexical token processing and point BODY-fragment text-content callers to

 Risk: medium-low if phrased as a token model instead of a task recipe.
 
+### 3a. Tag Processor lexical-text boundary
+
+Core idea: the Tag Processor docs contain a useful `next_token()` text example
+that is lexical, not parsed-tree textContent. Label it that way and
+cross-reference the HTML Processor when the caller needs BODY-fragment
+semantics, implied closing behavior, tree order, or unsupported-markup policy.
+
+Evidence: T05 in both round 20 and round 21 passed functionally but selected
+`WP_HTML_Tag_Processor` in all three trials. Round-21's added HTML Processor
+text recipe did not change this; judges identified the Tag Processor
+"Tokens and finer-grained processing" example as the stronger entry point.
+
+Risk: low-medium. Avoid saying the Tag Processor cannot read text; it can read
+lexical token text. The distinction is parsed fragment/DOM semantics versus
+flat lexical scanning.

Minor deductions: the is_tag_closer() guard after plain next_tag() is redundant because closers are skipped by default, and the special-element handling may include raw SCRIPT/STYLE payloads where ordinary heading text extraction should usually append only #text tokens."
+    }
+  ],
+  "failure_analysis": "No hidden case failed in any trial. The rendered docs did well on the decisive concepts: the HTML Processor overview says to choose WP_HTML_Processor for structure, text collection, subtrees, implied and virtual closers; create_fragment() is clearly documented for BODY fragments; next_token() explains that text extraction needs token walking and that implicit/end-of-input closers are visited; get_current_depth() gives the >= bounded-subtree pattern; get_modifiable_text() states that #text returns decoded text. Those passages directly explain why all trials handled nested markup, entities, empty headings, uppercase source tags, and implied heading close. The main near miss is special text-carrying elements. Trials 2 and 3 interpreted the SCRIPT/STYLE/TITLE/TEXTAREA note as something to include in heading text. A probe with those elements inside a heading showed trial 2 and trial 3 returning raw SCRIPT/STYLE text mixed with decoded TEXTAREA/TITLE text, while the reference and trial 1, following the ordinary #text recipe, returned empty heading text for that case. The docs do say to append only ordinary #text unless another token type is intentionally wanted, but the special-element exception can still invite over-inclusion unless the caller's text contract is explicit. Trial 3's final get_last_error() fallback is documented and conservative, but for read-only extraction it also exposes a policy ambiguity: should unsupported markup discard all partial results or return what was safely traversed before abort? The hidden suite did not exercise that policy.",

+      "problem": "The docs correctly mention that SCRIPT, STYLE, TITLE, and TEXTAREA carry modifiable text on the element token, but readers can over-apply this when they only need ordinary DOM-style or user-visible text.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a sharper contract note: get_modifiable_text() is broader than ordinary DOM text extraction; for generic visible/subtree text, append only #text tokens unless the caller explicitly opts into raw-text/RCDATA element payloads, and be aware that SCRIPT/STYLE are returned raw while #text/TEXTAREA/TITLE are decoded."

The near miss is processor selection. All trials used WP_HTML_Tag_Processor, likely because the Tag Processor \"Tokens and finer-grained processing\" section shows a next_token text-collection example including TITLE. That example is useful, but it competes with the \"Which processor should I use?\" and HTML Processor text-extraction guidance saying DOM-style text extraction and malformed/implied structure should use WP_HTML_Processor. The frozen cases did not expose the difference because lexical text order matched the expected parsed text order.

The Breadcrumbs section and get_breadcrumbs() reference made it clear that breadcrumbs include the implicit HTML/BODY path and the current matched element, enabling the candidates to ignore the last breadcrumb and search ancestors. The add_class() docs covered the existing-class case by stating that a class is appended and existing classes are preserved, and get_updated_html() covered byte preservation for untouched input. Near misses were minor: one trial added an unnecessary is_tag_closer() guard despite next_tag() defaulting to opener-only traversal, and none stated a policy for paused_at_incomplete_token(), likely because incomplete-input guidance is spread across recipes rather than attached directly to this common full-scan mutation pattern.",

The docs appear to have done well on the central task: the processor-selection guidance says to use the HTML Processor when structure, subtree text, implied closers, or browser-like parsing matter; the next_token() docs explain virtual closers, implied TBODY insertion, single-cursor state machines, and depth-bounded walks; get_current_depth() explicitly warns to use >= or break only when depth drops below the opener depth; get_modifiable_text() documents decoded #text. Those passages map directly to the successful patterns in all three candidates.\n\nThe main near-miss was special text-carrying elements. Every trial added SCRIPT/STYLE/TITLE/TEXTAREA text, and trial-3 added more. The docs do say special elements carry text on their opener token, but the DOM-style text recipe also says ordinary subtree text extraction should append only #text tokens unless another token type is intentionally wanted. A read-only probe confirmed this matters: for a cell containing <script>1 &amp; 2</script>z, the canonical reference returns only z, while candidates return 1 &amp; 2z.

Near-miss: the task did not stress incomplete trailing input, decoded/raw text, or attribute null/true/empty-string semantics, so those parts of the docs did not materially affect these implementations.

The HTML Processor docs also warned that normalization/serialization lower-cases and rewrites markup, which likely helped subjects avoid the wrong processor. Near-misses were minor: get_attribute_names_with_prefix() only implies, rather than explicitly states, that a matched tag with zero matches returns an empty array; remove_attribute() does not itself repeat the case-insensitive attribute-name contract; and next_tag() could be more explicit that comments are skipped as non-tag tokens.",

The near-miss is fallback/error policy: trial 2 returned an empty string on processor failure or abort, while trials 1 and 3 returned the original raw HTML. The docs say to reject or fall back when `get_last_error()` is non-null, but they do not make clear that raw input is no longer a normalized serialization.

The near-miss is fallback/error policy: trial 2 returned an empty string on processor failure or abort, while trials 1 and 3 returned the original raw HTML. The docs say to reject or fall back when `get_last_error()` is non-null, but they do not make clear that raw input is no longer a normalized serialization.

+**Train 99.45 / core 99.36** under `weak-tier-calibration`, with subjects
+`gpt-5.4` / `medium` / `priority` and judge `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` /
+`priority`. This was a no-edit calibration on the current committed docs after
+round 21, run because `audit-state.py` correctly reported that the current
+source docs no longer had a current-docs no-edit baseline at the default
+subject policy.
+
+Outcome: all 45 subject trials passed all hidden tests. Concept means:
+attributes 100.00, classes 100.00, normalization 100.00, serialization 99.45,
+text 98.43, traversal 99.50. The tier remains functionally saturated.
+
+The calibration confirms the main residual signal from round 21:
+T05-text-excerpt again scored 96.70 with all three trials passing 10/10 but
+adherence 90/88/89. Judges again identified the Tag Processor lexical token
+text example as competing with the processor-selection guidance that parsed
+BODY-fragment text content belongs on `WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment()`.
+This is now present at both `gpt-5.4` / `low` and `gpt-5.4` / `medium`.
+
+Next action: a narrow Tag Processor source hypothesis is justified before
+more broad recipe prose. Clarify that the Tag Processor `next_token()` text
+example is lexical token processing, not parsed fragment text-content
+extraction, and point callers needing BODY-fragment semantics, implied closing
+behavior, tree order, or unsupported-markup policy to the HTML Processor.

The HTML Processor 'Recipe: collect DOM-style text from a subtree' gives the exact general pattern: create a fragment processor, match an element, record depth, walk with next_token(), keep tokens while get_current_depth() >= the opener depth, append only #text tokens, and read text with get_modifiable_text(). The next_token() and get_current_depth() sections explain the critical >= boundary and that unclosed elements still produce structural closers, which covers the nested-markup and unclosed-H1 cases. The get_modifiable_text() docs state that #text is already decoded, preventing double-decoding or raw entity output in the entities-decoded case. Near misses were only explanatory: the candidates did not explicitly discuss image-only empty H1 or incomplete input, but their copied documented pattern handled both correctly.",

Near-misses were minor: the candidates did not check set_modifiable_text's boolean return even though that method says to check it, but the controlled template plus #text guard makes failure unexpected here; and next_tag('img') relies on examples implying case-insensitive tag queries more than on an explicit contract statement.",

The get_attribute contract and examples were sufficient for all subjects to use is_string(), excluding absent and valueless href while accepting decoded string values. The next_token(), get_current_depth(), and get_modifiable_text() docs also successfully led subjects to concatenate decoded #text descendants and handle an unclosed A through virtual closing behavior. The main near-misses were outside the frozen cases: trial-1 and trial-3 interpreted paused_at_incomplete_token() as a reason to discard all accumulated read-only extraction results after a later incomplete token; a probe such as '<a href=\"/x\">ok</a><div' returns [] in those trials but returns the completed link in the reference. Trial-2 over-applied the special-element text guidance; for '<a href=\"/x\"><script>one &amp; two</script>tail</a>' it includes raw script text, while the reference-style ordinary #text extraction returns only 'tail'.

The main near-miss was trial-2's lack of a clean-scan guard. The docs mention paused_at_incomplete_token() and get_last_error() in the incomplete-input and subtree-walk guidance, but that guidance is not adjacent to the simple mutation/get_updated_html path, so a model can write a fully passing solution while missing the partial-edit policy for truncated or unsupported input.

Those passages map directly to the candidates' working designs. Near-misses were around modifiable text: trials 1 and 3 treated get_modifiable_text() as harmless on arbitrary tag openers. That is usually empty for ordinary tags, but the same method also exposes SCRIPT/STYLE/TITLE/TEXTAREA text and comments when matched, so it can blur DOM text content with broader modifiable-token content if used less carefully.

The only near-miss is error policy: all candidates added get_last_error() handling, and two return original HTML on unsupported markup.

The processor-selection guidance also clearly said to use `WP_HTML_Processor` for normalized output, implied/missing closing tags, and structural HTML handling. Near misses: trial 1 still added a `normalize( $html )` fallback after emitting a rewrite, despite the docs warning against that; this suggests the warning is present but easy to rationalize as an error-path fallback.

 Risk: low-medium. Avoid saying the Tag Processor cannot read text; it can read
 lexical token text. The distinction is parsed fragment/DOM semantics versus
 flat lexical scanning.

+## Round 23 — Tag Processor lexical-text boundary confirmed
+
+**Train 99.50 / core 99.42** under `scored-train`, with subjects
+`gpt-5.4` / `medium` / `priority` and judge `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` /
+`priority`. This scored commit `f7c83bfb6b`: a narrow Tag Processor class-doc
+placement edit before the `next_token()` text example, labeling it as lexical
+token processing and pointing parsed BODY-fragment text extraction to
+`WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment()` plus HTML Processor subtree text walks.
+
+Outcome: confirmed, with no functional regressions. All 45 subject trials
+passed all hidden tests. Round score moved from the comparable round-22
+current-docs medium baseline 99.45 to 99.50 (+0.05), and core moved from
+99.36 to 99.42 (+0.06). Concept means: attributes 99.87, classes 100.00,
+normalization 100.00, serialization 99.15, text 99.07, traversal 99.48.
+
+The target task moved strongly: T05-text-excerpt improved from 96.70 to 99.20.
+All three T05 trials now chose `WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment()`, filtered
+ordinary `#text`, and handled TITLE/TEXTAREA opener text intentionally. This
+resolves the repeated round-20/21/22 failure where subjects copied the Tag
+Processor lexical token walk as if it were the parsed fragment text-content
+recipe.
+
+Residual signal is now different. T03 fell from 100.00 to 98.40 and N06 stayed
+at 99.00 because some subjects over-included special-element opener modifiable
+text in ordinary heading/subtree text. Judges also noted T05 trials 1 and 3
+used an all-or-nothing `get_last_error()` fallback for a read-only text walk,
+discarding text collected before an unsupported parser abort. These are not
+functional regressions in this round, but they sharpen the next text hypothesis:
+ordinary subtree text means `#text` tokens by default; special-element
+modifiable text and read-only abort fallback are explicit caller policies.
+
+Next action: commit the round-23 result artifacts, then run the required state
+audit. Because a source edit just landed and the post-refresh train loop has
+not run a held-out checkpoint recently, prefer a checkpoint/regression
+sentinel before another source edit unless the audit/protocol state says
+otherwise.

The `normalize()` section states that it assumes BODY context, adds omitted tags, quotes attributes, normalizes tables, preserves/re-encodes text appropriately, omits incomplete trailing syntax, and returns `null` when unable to normalize. The HTML support section also explains that unsupported markup aborts processing and output-producing methods return `null`.

The only near-miss was trials 2 and 3 over-including special element token text: a probe with `<h2>A<script>B &amp; C</script>C</h2>` returns `AC` from the reference and trial-1, but `AB &amp; CC` from trials 2 and 3.

The HTML Processor serialization docs also help by warning that serialize()/serialize_token() normalize output and are not the retrieval path for queued attribute/class edits. Near-misses: subjects did not need paused_at_incomplete_token(), but the correct preservation of incomplete trailing input depends on combining the next_tag() truncation rule with get_updated_html() byte preservation.

The HTML Processor docs also reinforce the choice by saying it is for structural work and normalized serialization, while flat byte-exact edits should use the lighter Tag Processor. Near-miss: the success depended on subjects recognizing `null` as the only absence sentinel.

The main near miss was trials 1 and 3 applying get_last_error() as an all-or-nothing rejection after a read-only text walk. That is understandable because the rewrite/serialization guidance says to reject or fall back on parser aborts, but the text-extraction recipe does not separately explain the policy choice for already-collected text.

Trial-2 uses the canonical nested next_tag()+bounded next_token() shape, but the next_token() docs' broad 'do not nest walk loops' warning could confuse readers about when that shape is safe for repeated region extraction.",
+  "doc_gaps": [
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::get_attribute() docblock / rendered method section",
+      "problem": "The HTML Processor method section shows string|true|null examples but does not state the full contract as clearly as the Tag Processor tutorial: decoded string values, empty string for explicitly empty values, true for valueless boolean syntax, and null for absent attributes.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a compact return-value table and example covering href=\"\", href, missing href, and href=\"/x?a=1&amp;b=2\". Explicitly recommend is_string() when callers require a present attribute with a string value."

+      "suggestion": "Add a 'repeated subtree extraction' example showing next_tag('X') followed by a depth-bounded inner next_token() loop, and clarify that the one-cursor hazard applies when outer token-walk state expects to see the boundary token again."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::get_last_error() / HTML Support",
+      "problem": "Unsupported-markup behavior is documented, but read-only extraction policy is left implicit. Candidates can reasonably choose all-or-nothing failure or best-effort partial results.",
+      "suggestion": "Add guidance for readers: after a read-only scan, get_last_error() means later tokens may not have been visited; callers requiring complete results should reject or fall back, while best-effort extractors may return partial results only by explicit policy."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "WP_HTML_Processor::get_modifiable_text() / text extraction recipe",
+      "problem": "The docs explain that SCRIPT, STYLE, TITLE, and TEXTAREA carry text on the element token, but the distinction between ordinary #text-token extraction and exact DOM textContent-style extraction remains easy to miss.",

The add_class and get_updated_html documentation also supported the existing-class case by making clear that class edits preserve existing classes and unchanged bytes. The main near-miss is incomplete input policy: all candidates used get_last_error(), but none checked paused_at_incomplete_token(). The docs mention this in several places, but the distinction between unsupported-parser aborts and trailing incomplete syntax is still easy to miss when writing a simple next_tag() loop.

The `get_modifiable_text()` documentation also made entity decoding clear, preventing raw `&amp;` output.

The main near-miss was error handling after a rewrite loop: trials 1 and 2 used `normalize($html)` as a fallback after emitting marked tokens, despite the docs warning that this discards loop changes.

Skipping both SPAN openers and closers removes the wrappers while preserving all nested content, and the token serialization provides the normalized output format described in the docs.",

+## Round 24 — checkpoint after lexical-text boundary edit
+
+**All 99.35 / train 99.41 / held-out 99.12 / core 99.28** under
+`checkpoint`, with subjects `gpt-5.4` / `medium` / `priority` and judge
+`gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` / `priority`. This was the held-out regression sentinel
+after the round-23 Tag Processor lexical-text boundary source edit.
+
+Outcome: stable. All 57 subject trials passed all hidden tests, including all
+four held-out tasks. Held-out scores were H04 98.70, N01 100.00, N02 99.00,
+and N05 98.80. There is no held-out functional regression and no reason to
+revert the source edit.
+
+The target train signal held: T05-text-excerpt scored 99.80 in the checkpoint
+with all three trials passing 10/10 and adherence 100/99/99. The Tag Processor
+lexical-token example is no longer pulling subjects away from
+`WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment()` for parsed BODY-fragment text
+extraction.
+
+Residual train signal: the lowest task was T09-mark-keyword at 98.10 because
+one trial reparsed decoded `get_modifiable_text()` with
+`WP_HTML_Processor::normalize()` instead of wrapping `serialize_token()`.
+N06-extract-toc scored 98.30 because two trials over-included special-element
+opener modifiable text in ordinary heading text. These are separate candidate
+diagnostics: (1) decoded modifiable text is application text, not an HTML token
+to reparse during serialization, and (2) ordinary subtree text is `#text` by
+default, with special-element opener text as explicit caller opt-in.
+
+Next action: run a citation-only discoverability probe before any source edit.
+Prefer probing the HTML Processor read-only text policy first because it spans
+round-23 T03/N06/T05 and round-24 N06/N02 notes. Keep the
+`serialize_token()`/decoded-text reparse issue as a separate follow-up probe or
+scratch A/B candidate; do not merge the two hypotheses into one source edit.

 an unsupported parser abort. Promote a future source edit here only after a
 checkpoint or focused probe confirms this is still the best next train signal.
 
+Round-24 checkpoint result: held-out stayed stable and T05 held at 99.80.
+N06 still showed over-inclusion of special-element opener text in ordinary
+heading text, and N02 repeated the read-only `get_last_error()` partial-result
+policy concern. This is now ready for a citation-only probe focused on
+read-only text extraction policy.
+
 Risk: medium-low if phrased as a token model instead of a task recipe.
 
+### 3b. Read-only text extraction policy
+
+Core idea: separate three caller policies that the docs currently place near
+each other:
+
+- Ordinary subtree/DOM-style text: append only tokens where
+  `get_token_type() === '#text'`.
+- Special element opener text (`SCRIPT`, `STYLE`, `TITLE`, `TEXTAREA`) is
+  modifiable text on the element token and must be an explicit opt-in.
+- After a read-only extraction walk, `get_last_error()` or
+  `paused_at_incomplete_token()` tells the caller the walk stopped early or the
+  input was incomplete; it does not by itself define whether to return
+  already-collected best-effort text, an empty result, or a failure sentinel.
+
+Evidence: round-23 T03/N06 over-included special-element opener text in
+ordinary heading/subtree extraction; round-23 T05 sometimes discarded collected
+text after an unsupported parser abort. Round-24 repeated the N06
+over-inclusion pattern and N02 repeated the read-only partial-result policy
+concern. All hidden tests still passed, so this needs a citation-only probe
+before source promotion.
+
+Next diagnostic: ask subjects to cite the rendered docs for a read-only
+fragment text extractor that collects ordinary subtree text, decides whether
+to include TITLE/TEXTAREA/SCRIPT/STYLE opener text, and states a caller policy
+for `get_last_error()` and `paused_at_incomplete_token()`.
+
+Risk: medium. Avoid replacing the processor-choice win with a task-shaped text
+recipe. Phrase the edit, if promoted, as a token/policy matrix.

The main near-misses were documentation precision issues rather than observed failures: `remove_class()` itself is terse, public class-matching case semantics are not clearly stated where developers use `next_tag( array( 'class_name' => ... ) )`, and one class-removal example appears to show normalized spacing even though the API preserves neighboring bytes.",

Near-misses: trial-1 used manual FIGURE depth tracking with tag closers instead of the simpler breadcrumb ancestor check, suggesting the docs permit but do not strongly steer containment tasks toward breadcrumbs.

Those passages directly map to the table, attribute quoting, entity, unclosed tag, unsupported markup, and empty fragment expectations. Near-miss: the local `normalize()` section only says `null if unable to normalize`; the stronger unsupported-markup explanation lives earlier in the class overview, so a model could miss the fallback contract if it read only the method entry.

The main near-miss is special-element text. All trials added text from `SCRIPT`, `STYLE`, `TITLE`, and `TEXTAREA`, apparently from the documented note that these elements carry modifiable text on the opener.

The set_attribute() and set_modifiable_text() sections explain that callers pass plain unescaped strings and the API encodes them, which prevented failures on ampersands, quotes, angle brackets, Unicode, and script-looking caption text. Near misses were minor: trials 1 and 3 did an extra next_tag('figcaption') before walking to the text token, but that is consistent with the one-cursor model and the simple controlled template.

Those passages explain the passing results for entities, interelement whitespace, malformed nesting, TITLE/TEXTAREA inclusion, SCRIPT/STYLE exclusion, and multibyte truncation.

Near misses were policy/shape issues rather than failures: trial-1 used paused_at_incomplete_token() as reject-all for truncated trailing syntax, while trial-2 omitted get_last_error() and can return partial data after unsupported markup.

The main near-miss is special-element text: trials 1 and 2 generalized the special-element note into reading modifiable text from all tag openers.

The main near-miss was trial-3’s belief that decoded text should be normalized separately before output. The docs say normalize() accepts an HTML fragment and serialize_token() serializes the current token, but they do not explicitly warn that decoded #text from get_modifiable_text() must not be reparsed with normalize().

The docs did especially well in the `WP_HTML_Processor::serialize_token()` section: it explicitly says that concatenating `serialize_token()` while walking `next_token()` reconstructs normalized serialization, that skipped tokens are removed, and that closing tokens of skipped elements must be skipped too. The example removing every `SUP` element while keeping contents directly generalized to `SPAN`. The `create_fragment()` docs also made the BODY-fragment parser choice clear, and the `next_token()` docs explained that virtual closers are visited for unclosed elements, which covers the unclosed-span case. The near-miss is error policy: every candidate added a `get_last_error()` check, but trial 1 returned the original input while trials 2 and 3 returned an empty string.

+## Rounds 25/26 — read-only text policy matrix scratch A/B
+
+`round-25` was the control rendered docs and `round-26` was a scratch-only
+HTML Processor rendered-doc variant adding a compact read-only text extraction
+policy matrix near the class-level DOM-style text recipe. Both rounds used
+`shadow-doc-a/b`, the same three train tasks (`T03-first-h1-text`,
+`N06-extract-toc`, `T05-text-excerpt`), subjects `gpt-5.4` / `medium` /
+`priority`, and judge `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` / `priority`. Source docblocks were
+unchanged.
+
+Numeric result: the variant improved the paired subset from **98.70** to
+**99.17**. T05 moved from 99.40 to 100.00, T03 from 99.70 to 100.00, and N06
+from 97.00 to 97.50. All trials in both rounds passed all hidden tests.
+
+Interpretation: mixed, not promotable as written. The matrix helped the task
+that explicitly wanted TITLE/TEXTAREA text while excluding SCRIPT/STYLE, but
+it did not solve the target N06 over-inclusion pattern. More importantly, it
+worsened the ordinary-heading-text signal in T03: control had two pure
+`#text` implementations and one implementation that added special-element
+opener text, while the variant had all three T03 subjects append SCRIPT,
+STYLE, TEXTAREA, and TITLE opener text. Judges scored this as documented API
+use because hidden cases did not cover special elements, but they still noted
+that it was broader than the ordinary text-node extraction policy.
+
+Decision: do not promote this policy matrix to source docs. The next text
+diagnostic, if pursued, should be a revised scratch-only variant that stresses
+the default exclusion rule and a negative example: ordinary heading/subtree
+text appends only `#text`; special-element opener text is available but is not
+included unless the caller explicitly asks for those node types. Keep the
+serialization/decoded-text reparse signal separate.

+Round 25/26 tested that scratch policy matrix. It raised the three-task

+Scratch A/B result: mixed/no promotion. Round 26's policy matrix improved the
+paired subset numerically versus round 25 (99.17 vs 98.70) and fixed T05
+adherence, but it also encouraged all three T03 subjects to include

 Risk: medium. Avoid replacing the processor-choice win with a task-shaped text
 recipe. Phrase the edit, if promoted, as a token/policy matrix.

The only near-miss is Trial 3: the special-element note in `next_token()` / `get_modifiable_text()` led it to include special element DATA inside an H1.

The main near-miss is that every trial added special handling for SCRIPT, STYLE, TEXTAREA, and TITLE. That behavior is documented, but the task/reference only needed ordinary #text tokens.

+# Round 26 Scratch Variant
+
+Variant name: `readonly-text-policy-matrix`
+
+Control round: `round-25`
+
+Edited rendered file: `/tmp/html-api-docs-eval/round-26/html-processor.md`
+
+Source docblocks were not edited. This was a scratch-only rendered-doc A/B
+variant. The staged `html-processor.md` SHA-256 recorded in
+`round-metadata.json` is:
+
+```text
+c0011d8b1a6431e0fa82fe953f9be5b2b38752a83115255c18403d8716179ab1
+```
+
+Inserted under `##### Recipe: collect DOM-style text from a subtree`:
+
+```markdown
+Text extraction policy matrix:
+
+| Caller intent | Tokens to read | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| Ordinary subtree text | Only tokens where `get_token_type() === '#text'` | This is the default DOM-style text walk. Do not call `get_modifiable_text()` on every opening tag. |
+| Include TITLE or TEXTAREA text | Add an explicit check for those opening element tokens and read their `get_modifiable_text()` | These elements carry decoded text on their own token and expose no child `#text` tokens. |
+| Include SCRIPT or STYLE text | Add an explicit check for those opening element tokens and read their `get_modifiable_text()` | This is raw/non-ordinary text. Include it only when the caller asks for script or stylesheet contents. |
+| Comments, processing instructions, and other syntax | Do not include for ordinary subtree text | They can carry modifiable text, but they are not DOM text descendants. |
+| `get_last_error()` or `paused_at_incomplete_token()` after a read-only walk | Caller policy | The walk may have collected useful text before it stopped. Return best-effort text, return an empty result, or reject according to the function's contract. Mutations and strict complete-input scans should fail closed. |
+```
+
+Outcome: mixed/no source promotion. The variant improved the aggregate subset
+score and T05 adherence, but it encouraged all three T03 subjects to include
+SCRIPT/STYLE/TITLE/TEXTAREA opener text when the task wanted ordinary heading
+text. N06 still over-included special-element text inside headings.

 Hypothesis → outcome narrative, one entry per round. Newest first.
 
+## Rounds 27/28 — ordinary-text negative example scratch A/B
+
+`round-27` was a fresh control rendered-doc round and `round-28` was a
+scratch-only HTML Processor rendered-doc variant for the same three train
+tasks (`T03-first-h1-text`, `N06-extract-toc`, `T05-text-excerpt`). Both used
+`shadow-doc-a/b`, subjects `gpt-5.4` / `medium` / `priority`, and judge
+`gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` / `priority`. Source docblocks were unchanged.
+
+Variant: instead of the broad policy matrix from round 26, the scratch docs
+added a default-first policy under the HTML Processor DOM-style text recipe:
+ordinary subtree text is only reached `#text` tokens; special-element opener
+text is available through `get_modifiable_text()` only when the caller
+explicitly opts into those node types. The variant also included a negative
+example intended to discourage treating all modifiable text as ordinary text.
+
+Numeric result: the variant improved the paired subset from **99.27** to
+**99.50**. T03 moved from 99.60 to 100.00, N06 from 98.20 to 98.90, and T05
+from 100.00 to 99.60. All trials in both rounds passed all hidden tests.
+
+Interpretation: promotable after revising the scratch wording. The target
+failure improved cleanly: in the control, T03 trials 2/3 and N06 trials 2/3
+included SCRIPT/STYLE/TEXTAREA/TITLE opener text in ordinary heading text; in
+the variant, all three T03 implementations and all three N06 implementations
+used `#text` only for ordinary heading/subtree text. T05 still included
+TITLE/TEXTAREA and excluded SCRIPT/STYLE, so the stronger default rule did not
+erase the explicit opt-in path needed by callers that ask for those elements.
+
+Caveat before source promotion: the scratch negative example used
+`null !== $processor->get_modifiable_text()`, but `get_modifiable_text()`
+returns a string and should not be taught as a presence test. Promote the
+default-first/explicit-opt-in wording, plus a negative example based on
+calling `get_modifiable_text()` from an unguarded token loop, but do not copy
+the null-check code.
+
+Next action: commit these result artifacts, then promote the adapted generic
+recipe to the `WP_HTML_Processor` class documentation and score it as one
+source hypothesis.

+Round 27/28 tested that narrower scratch variant. It improved the paired

 placement: ordinary `#text` is the default; special-element opener text is
 available for explicit caller contracts only.
 
+Follow-up scratch A/B result: round 28's default-first negative-example
+variant beat the fresh round-27 control (99.50 vs 99.27). The target behavior
+changed in the right direction: control T03/N06 still over-included
+special-element opener text, while variant T03/N06 used ordinary `#text` only;
+T05 still correctly opted into TITLE/TEXTAREA while excluding SCRIPT/STYLE.
+Promote an adapted source edit now. Keep it generic and avoid the scratch
+variant's misleading null-check negative example.

 Risk: medium. Avoid replacing the processor-choice win with a task-shaped text
 recipe. Phrase the edit, if promoted, as a token/policy matrix.

The get_modifiable_text() docs also call out decoded UTF-8 text, which likely prevented double-decoding and byte-based truncation mistakes.

The HTML Processor text-extraction recipe steered subjects toward next_token(), #text filtering, and get_modifiable_text(). The special-element passages were especially effective: they explain that TITLE and TEXTAREA carry decoded text on the opener token, while SCRIPT and STYLE carry raw non-DOM text that should not be included unless explicitly requested. The get_modifiable_text() docs also made decoded UTF-8 output and mb_* truncation clear enough for all trials to handle entities, accents, and emoji. Near misses: the subjects had to compose two separate passages, ordinary text extraction plus special-element opt-in, to solve a full-fragment text-content task; there is no compact read-only fragment text recipe.

+# Round 28 Scratch Variant
+
+Variant name: `ordinary-text-negative-example`
+
+Control round: `round-27`
+
+Edited rendered file: `/tmp/html-api-docs-eval/round-28/html-processor.md`
+
+Source docblocks were not edited. This is a scratch-only rendered-doc A/B
+variant. The staged `html-processor.md` SHA-256 recorded in
+`round-metadata.json` is:
+
+```text
+d35fbe30fdfbcc3cae6ba83be8edc104a7630ad217a5ab08e817cbb6a14aabc8
+```
+
+Inserted under `##### Recipe: collect DOM-style text from a subtree` after
+the `#text` accumulation example:
+
+````markdown
+Default policy: ordinary subtree text is not "every token with modifiable text." It is only the `#text` tokens reached by the walk. For example, in `<section>A<em>B</em><script>C</script><textarea>D</textarea></section>`, ordinary subtree text is `AB`: inline markup may split text across multiple `#text` tokens, but SCRIPT and TEXTAREA do not add ordinary `#text` descendants.
+
+Opt-in policy: when the caller's contract explicitly asks for a special element's content, whitelist those opening element tokens and read their {@see WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::get_modifiable_text}. TITLE and TEXTAREA provide decoded text on their opener tokens; SCRIPT and STYLE provide raw script or stylesheet text. Do not include special element opener text merely because it is available.
+
+Negative example:
+
+```php
+// Too broad for ordinary subtree or heading text: this can read comments,
+// processing instructions, and special-element opener text.
+if ( null !== $processor->get_modifiable_text() ) {
+    $text .= $processor->get_modifiable_text();
+}
+```
+````
+
+Purpose: test whether a default-first negative example reduces
+special-element opener text over-inclusion in ordinary heading/subtree text
+without regressing tasks that explicitly ask for TITLE/TEXTAREA text.

The special-element passages were especially effective: they explain that TITLE and TEXTAREA carry decoded text on the opener token, while SCRIPT and STYLE carry raw non-DOM text that should not be included unless explicitly requested. The get_modifiable_text() docs also made decoded UTF-8 output and mb_* truncation clear enough for all trials to handle entities, accents, and emoji. Near misses: the subjects had to compose two separate passages, ordinary text extraction plus special-element opt-in, to solve a full-fragment text-content task; there is no compact read-only fragment text recipe.

- * Text in SCRIPT, STYLE, TITLE, and TEXTAREA is different: those elements do
- * not expose their contents as child `#text` tokens. If a caller wants that
- * text, read it from the element's own opening token with
- * {@see WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::get_modifiable_text}; otherwise the `#text`
- * filter above skips it naturally.
+ * Default policy: ordinary subtree text is not "every token with modifiable
+ * text." It is only the `#text` tokens reached by the walk. For example, in
+ * `<section>A<em>B</em><script>C</script><textarea>D</textarea></section>`,
+ * ordinary subtree text is `AB`: inline markup may split text across multiple
+ * `#text` tokens, but SCRIPT and TEXTAREA do not add ordinary `#text`
+ * descendants.
+ *
+ * Do not use {@see WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::get_modifiable_text} as the test
+ * for ordinary text. This is too broad:
+ *
+ *     $text .= $processor->get_modifiable_text();
+ *
+ * That unguarded form can append comments, processing instructions, and
+ * special-element opener text. First decide which token types belong in the
+ * caller's result, then read modifiable text only from those tokens.
+ *
+ * Opt-in policy: when the caller's contract explicitly asks for a special
+ * element's content, whitelist those opening element tokens and read their
+ * {@see WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::get_modifiable_text}. TITLE and TEXTAREA
+ * provide decoded text on their opener tokens; SCRIPT and STYLE provide raw
+ * script or stylesheet text. Do not include special-element opener text merely
+ * because it is available.
  *
  * #### Recipe: rewrite while serializing tokens

 Hypothesis → outcome narrative, one entry per round. Newest first.
 
+## Round 29 — ordinary subtree text policy source edit is mixed
+
+**Train 98.31 / core 98.05** under `scored-train`, with subjects
+`gpt-5.4` / `medium` / `priority` and judge `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` /
+`priority`. This scored commit `95173a4486`, which promoted the winning
+round-28 scratch direction into the HTML Processor class docs: ordinary
+subtree text is `#text` tokens by default, special-element opener text is
+explicit opt-in, and unguarded `get_modifiable_text()` is too broad.
+
+Outcome: mixed, keep under the revert rule but do not treat the hypothesis as
+fully confirmed. The round dropped from the comparable round-23 scored-train
+baseline 99.50 to 98.31, below the 2-point revert threshold. There was no
+all-trials regression on a previously passing task, but T07-nested-lists had
+one functional miss and fell to 81.13 because one subject ran separate
+cursor-relative `next_tag()` scans for `UL` and then `OL`; the second scan
+started at EOF and never revisited earlier `OL` elements. Judges attributed
+that to missing HTML Processor `next_tag()` cursor/OR-query guidance, not to
+the text-policy edit.
+
+Target text results were split. T03-first-h1-text improved to 99.40 and
+T05-text-excerpt improved to 99.80. N06-extract-toc fell to 97.60: all three
+subjects still included SCRIPT/STYLE/TEXTAREA/TITLE opener text in ordinary
+heading text. The N06 judge identified the competing method-local
+`next_token()` special-element paragraph as the stronger remaining source of

+Core idea: make `WP_HTML_Processor::next_tag()` cursor movement and

+Contract to test:
+
+- Each `next_tag()` search starts after the current cursor position.
+- When `next_tag()` returns false, a later call with a different query will
+  not rescan earlier tags.
+- To find the first of several tag names, do one forward walk and branch on

+  required.
+- `tag_name` is a single tag name, not an array of alternatives.

+Evidence: round 21 N03 had a sequential filtered-search failure, and round 29
+T07 repeated the same cursor misconception as a functional failure: a subject

+noted that the Tag Processor overview has the cursor warning, but the HTML

The unsupported-markup section also names mis-nested formatting as an unsupported case and says output-producing methods such as `serialize()` and `normalize()` return `null`. Near-misses: the empty-fragment case depended on using a strict null check rather than a truthiness check, and the docs do not explicitly call out that a successful normalization may be `''`. Also, execution records show unsupported cases going through the null path; the docs describe the return value but are less explicit about whether callers should expect warnings or other error-channel side effects from serialization failure.",

The docs worked well for the central task: they made the processor choice clear by saying the HTML Processor is for tree-aware text extraction; they documented create_fragment() for body fragments; they documented uppercase get_tag() results; they documented #text token accumulation with get_modifiable_text(); and they documented virtual/implied closing tokens, which explains why malformed '<h2>One<h3>Two' can be handled structurally.\n\nNear-miss: every trial opted into special-element opener text for SCRIPT, STYLE, TEXTAREA, and TITLE inside headings. A probe shows the reference returns only ordinary #text text for '<h2>A<script>B &amp;</script><textarea>C &amp;</textarea>D</h2>' as 'AD', while all three candidates return 'AB &amp;C &D'. The overview recipe 'collect DOM-style text from a subtree' says ordinary text is only #text tokens and says not to include special-element opener text merely because it is available. However, the next_token() method section also says special elements produce no #text children and to read their text from the opener, which appears to have encouraged subjects to treat that as part of generic text extraction rather than an opt-in policy.\n\nSecond near-miss: incomplete-input policy was interpreted inconsistently. Trial 2 checks paused_at_incomplete_token() and returns an empty array for an incomplete trailing comment after a heading, while the reference and the other trials return the heading text already collected. The docs correctly mention checking paused_at_incomplete_token() when a caller must reject truncation, but they do not make the policy boundary crisp for read-only extraction tasks that can return best-effort results.",

The main near-miss is that the model explanations sometimes phrase the href test as just \"checks get_attribute('href')\"; the code used the correct null comparison, but a truthiness check would have failed empty-string href.

The near-miss is trial 3's special-element handling. html-processor.md both says ordinary subtree text excludes special element opener text and later says special-element contents are carried on the opener token. That is accurate but easy to over-apply when a task says \"text content\" without naming whether SCRIPT/STYLE/TEXTAREA/TITLE payloads count. A read-only probe confirmed the divergence: the reference-style #text-only policy returns \"AB\" for <h1>A<textarea>D &amp; E</textarea><script>F &amp; G</script>B</h1>, while trial 3 would return \"AD & EF &amp; GB\".",

The `Building markup from a template` section directly taught the needed pattern: start from a literal template, include attributes in the desired order, include placeholder text for later replacement, then use `set_attribute()`, token walking, `set_modifiable_text()`, and `get_updated_html()`. The `set_attribute()` docs also explicitly explain that plain unescaped values are encoded and that newly added attributes sort by name, which likely prevented attribute-order failures. The `set_modifiable_text()` docs explain that ordinary container elements do not carry text themselves and that callers need a `#text` token or placeholder, which likely prevented attempts to set text while matched on `FIGCAPTION`.

The `get_modifiable_text()` documentation also clearly states that `#text`, `TEXTAREA`, and `TITLE` are returned decoded and UTF-8, which explains why all candidates handled `&amp;`, accents, and emoji correctly. The main near-miss is policy around parser aborts and incomplete input: trial 3 interpreted `get_last_error()` as a reason to discard all collected text.

In reality next_tag() advances one shared cursor; after the UL loop returns false, the processor is already at EOF, so nested OL elements are never visited. The clearest relevant passage is in html-tag-processor.md under 'Finding tags': next_tag() returning false moves the cursor to the end, and once the cursor reaches the end the processor is done unless you recreate it or use bookmarks. The HTML Processor docs do not repeat this warning in the WP_HTML_Processor::next_tag() section, even though this structural task naturally points subjects to WP_HTML_Processor. For existing-class-preserved, the failure was not a class-merging misconception: add_class() docs correctly say existing classes are preserved/appended. The add_class() call simply never happened because the OL pass never ran.

The rendered docs include a strong ordinary subtree-text recipe saying to append only #text tokens unless another token type is explicitly desired, but the next_token() and get_modifiable_text() sections also emphasize that SCRIPT, STYLE, TITLE, and TEXTAREA carry text on opener tokens. Trial 1 and trial 3 latched onto that exception and would include those opener-token contents in table cells, diverging from the ordinary text-node policy.\n\nA second near-miss was incomplete input policy. The docs correctly explain that virtual closers make structural flushing reliable, and that paused_at_incomplete_token() should be checked when the caller must reject truncated input. Trial 3 treated that check as mandatory and would discard an otherwise extractable table for a trailing incomplete tag inside it. That is a policy misunderstanding, not an undocumented API problem.",

The serialize_token() section also includes a general example removing wrapper element tokens while preserving contents, which appears to have led all trials to the intended approach. Near-misses: all candidates relied on get_tag() returning null for non-tag tokens rather than explicitly checking get_token_type() === '#tag'. This is supported by the get_tag() docs and the serialize_token() example, but the safer token taxonomy is somewhat split between get_tag(), get_token_name(), and get_token_type().

+Follow-up citation-only probe: `round-29-next-tag-cursor-or-search` asked
+three subjects whether a `next_tag( 'UL' )` scan followed by a
+`next_tag( 'OL' )` scan on the same processor rescans earlier tags, and how to
+find the first of several tag names. All three answered correctly: the second
+scan does not restart; a failed `next_tag()` leaves the cursor at the end; use
+one forward scan and branch on `get_tag()` for alternatives; `tag_name` is a
+single string or null. They mostly cited the Tag Processor "Finding tags" and
+"Custom queries" sections plus the HTML Processor one-cursor `next_token()`
+note. Interpretation: the facts are discoverable when asked directly, but
+placement is weak for HTML Processor `next_tag()` task work. The next
+documentation diagnostic can be a scratch method-local HTML Processor
+`next_tag()` contrast card rather than another broad overview recipe. A
+sidecar doc-location check confirmed there is no local HTML Processor
+`next_tag()` warning and no HTML Processor first-of-several-tags idiom; the
+only OR-style idiom found is in the Tag Processor "Custom queries" section.

+Probe result: `round-29-next-tag-cursor-or-search` passed 3/3. Directly asked
+subjects found the cursor rule and OR-search idiom, but they cited Tag
+Processor "Finding tags"/"Custom queries" and HTML Processor `next_token()`

+Sidecar doc-location check: the cursor movement rule is currently under

+is under Tag Processor "Custom queries". The rendered HTML Processor

 Risk: low-medium. Keep it generic and avoid a nested-list recipe; teach cursor
 state and first-of-several-tags search.

The get_breadcrumbs example also made it clear enough that breadcrumbs include implicit HTML/BODY and the current element, leading candidates to exclude the final breadcrumb before checking ancestors. add_class and get_updated_html were documented clearly enough to preserve existing classes and untouched bytes. The main near-miss was clean-input handling: trials 1 and 3 generalized the scan-before-edit recipe's paused_at_incomplete_token/get_last_error checks to all mutations. In probes with a valid nested list followed by a trailing incomplete tag, they returned the original HTML and dropped the valid class addition, while the reference still applied the edit.

The main near-miss was clean-input handling: trials 1 and 3 generalized the scan-before-edit recipe's paused_at_incomplete_token/get_last_error checks to all mutations. In probes with a valid nested list followed by a trailing incomplete tag, they returned the original HTML and dropped the valid class addition, while the reference still applied the edit.

+# Round 31 Scratch Variant
+
+Variant name: `html-processor-next-tag-cursor-card`
+
+Control round: `round-30`
+
+Edited rendered file: `/tmp/html-api-docs-eval/round-31/html-processor.md`
+
+Source docblocks were not edited. This is a scratch-only rendered-doc A/B
+variant. The staged `html-processor.md` SHA-256 recorded in
+`round-metadata.json` is:
+
+```text
+6b15f5fc0b65a35c3fedc0a464c19d1ae015fb4457f0ed294c1050b9c22663f0
+```
+
+Inserted under `### next_tag()` immediately after the summary sentence:
+
+````markdown
+> **Cursor-relative searches**
+>
+> `next_tag()` searches forward from the processor's current cursor. A `false`
+> return means no later matching tag was found; it does not reset the cursor,
+> and a later call with a different query will not rescan tags already passed.
+> In a query, `tag_name` is one tag name string, or `null` for any tag; it is
+> not a list of names.
+>
+> To find the first of several tag names from the current position, scan for
+> any tag and branch on `get_tag()`:
+>
+> ```php
+> $wanted = array( 'UL', 'OL' );
+> while ( $processor->next_tag() ) {
+>     if ( in_array( $processor->get_tag(), $wanted, true ) ) {
+>         break;
+>     }
+> }
+> ```
+>
+> When code intentionally needs to revisit earlier tags, set a bookmark before
+> scanning and `seek()` back to it, or create a new processor for the same HTML.
+````
+
+Purpose: test whether local HTML Processor `next_tag()` placement prevents
+sequential filtered-search mistakes and teaches the first-of-several-tags
+idiom without editing source docblocks.

+## Round 32 — HTML Processor next_tag() cursor source edit confirmed
+
+**Train 99.67 / core 99.62** under `scored-train`, with subjects
+`gpt-5.4` / `medium` / `priority` and judge `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` /
+`priority`. This scored commit `19a49c1479`, which promoted the winning
+round-31 scratch method-local card into `WP_HTML_Processor::next_tag()`:
+searches are cursor-relative, a failed search does not rewind, `tag_name` is
+one string or null rather than a list of alternatives, and first-of-several
+tag searches should use one forward scan plus `get_tag()` branching unless
+the caller intentionally bookmarks/seeks or creates a new processor.
+
+Outcome: confirmed. The round improved from the comparable round-29
+scored-train baseline 98.31 to 99.67, well clear of the revert threshold.
+All 45 subject trials passed all hidden cases. The target failure recovered:
+T07-nested-lists moved from 81.13 to 99.30, and all three T07 trials used a
+single forward scan rather than sequential filtered searches. N03 stayed
+perfect at 100.00.
+
+Residual signal is adherence-only. The lowest task was T08-table-extract at
+97.60, with judges again pointing at generic traversal/depth traces,
+virtual-closer and incomplete-token policy, and ordinary-text versus
+special-element opt-in wording. T03 and N06 passed all hidden cases but still
+showed occasional special-element text over-inclusion in explanations or
+implementations. T09 and T12 were strong, but judges still noted inconsistent
+fallback policy for token-serialization helpers that promise normalized
+output.
+
+Decision: keep `19a49c1479`. Before another source docblock edit, run a
+checkpoint/regression sentinel because this source edit has only train scoring
+so far and held-out must stay protected. The suggested generic recipe
+direction remains plausible, but should be tested by checkpoint-supported
+train evidence, a discoverability probe, or a scratch rendered-doc A/B before
+source promotion; do not directly add broad class-level recipe prose from
+round-32 judge suggestions alone.

 fresh round-30 control (99.80 vs 99.30) on N03/T07. N03 remained perfect and
 T07 improved from 98.60 to 99.60, with all variant T07 trials using one

Near-misses: trial-1 included an unnecessary is_tag_closer() check after plain next_tag(), suggesting the default closer-skipping behavior may be easy to miss; trials 2 and 3 used the documented single-pass closer pattern instead of depth bounds, which is valid here but depends on readers understanding virtual closer guarantees; trial-3 would lose a heading if parsing aborts on unsupported markup before a closer is emitted.",

The HTML Processor recipe also warns not to append get_modifiable_text() from every token and instead to whitelist token types.

Near misses: trial-1 depended on closer-driven flushing, but the next_token section’s DT example and closer guarantee made that a documented pattern. trial-2 used an inner bounded walk despite the broader warning about nested next_token loops; it is safe here because the outer scan is next_tag('A'), but the warning could be read too broadly. trial-3 used a depth-drop state machine rather than the exact recipe, and get_current_depth’s closer-depth explanation was enough to make it correct.",

The `next_tag()` docs also clearly warn that `tag_name` is not a list of alternatives, which likely pushed candidates toward scanning all tags and branching on `get_tag()`. The `get_breadcrumbs()` docs were sufficient for candidates to infer that the current element is included and must be excluded for ancestor-only checks.

Near-misses were outside the frozen suite. Trial 2 appears to have over-applied the special-element exception from `next_token()`/`get_modifiable_text()`, appending opener text for SCRIPT/STYLE/TEXTAREA/TITLE even though the ordinary subtree text recipe says to include only `#text` tokens unless the caller explicitly opts in. Trials 1 and 3 attempted incomplete-input handling, but in a way the docs make easy to get subtly wrong: a depth-bounded walk can see virtual closers and still leave `paused_at_incomplete_token()` true, so tying the check to a local `completed`/`finished_table` flag does not actually reject truncation if that was the intended policy.",

The get_modifiable_text() docs also clearly state that #text text is already decoded, which explains why all candidates handled character references correctly.

+  "doc_gaps": [
+    {
+      "location": "html-tag-processor.md#get_attribute_names_with_prefix",
+      "problem": "The return contract distinguishes null for no matched opener, but does not prominently state what is returned when a tag is matched and no attributes have the requested prefix.",
+      "suggestion": "State explicitly that a matched opener with no prefix matches returns an empty array, while null means the processor is not currently matched on a tag opener. Add a small example for both cases."

+    {
+      "location": "html-tag-processor.md#Modifying HTML attributes for a found tag",

+      "suggestion": "Add a generic bulk-attribute-edit recipe showing: walk tags with next_tag(), collect matching attribute names via a documented discovery API, mutate each attribute, then return get_updated_html(). Keep the example domain-neutral rather than task-specific."

+## Rounds 33/34 — depth-bounded traversal scratch A/B wins
+
+`round-33` was the control rendered-doc round and `round-34` was a
+scratch-only HTML Processor rendered-doc variant for four train tasks:
+`N03-first-list-count`, `N06-extract-toc`, `T06-collect-links`, and
+`T08-table-extract`. Both used `shadow-doc-a/b`, subjects `gpt-5.4` /
+`medium` / `priority`, and judge `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` / `priority`. Source
+docblocks were unchanged.
+
+Variant: add a compact class-level card after the existing "scan a region
+before editing its opener" recipe explaining depth-bounded subtree membership
+and direct-child opener tests: record the container opener depth; later tokens
+remain inside while depth is `>=` that value; direct child element openers
+require `get_token_type() === '#tag'`, `! is_tag_closer()`, and
+`get_current_depth() === $container_depth + 1`; child closers report parent
+depth and must not be counted; repeated regions should generally use one
+`next_token()` loop with explicit state rather than nested token loops.
+
+Numeric result: variant won, **99.08 vs 97.34** on the paired subset.
+Traversal improved from 96.62 to 99.00. N03 moved from 94.46 to 100.00: the
+control had one 9/11 trial that treated a depth drop plus null
+`get_last_error()` as a complete scan and missed
+`paused_at_incomplete_token()`, while all variant N03 trials passed 11/11
+with 100 adherence. T08 moved from 96.50 to 98.00. N06 was flat/slightly up
+at 99.00, and T06 dipped only 0.2 to 99.30. All variant hidden tests passed.
+
+Interpretation: promotable as a source hypothesis after the held-out cadence
+is satisfied. The edit is generic API documentation rather than a task-shaped
+answer, and it directly addresses repeated judge gaps around subtree
+membership, direct-child detection, and one-cursor traversal. Caveat: it does
+not solve the separate text-policy issue. Variant judges still saw
+special-element opener text over-inclusion in N06 and T08, so that remains a
+separate method-local/text-policy hypothesis.
+
+Next action: run a checkpoint/regression sentinel on the current source docs
+before promoting another source docblock edit. If held-out remains stable,
+promote an adapted, concise version of the depth-bounded traversal card into
+the `WP_HTML_Processor` class documentation and score it as one source
+hypothesis.

 Risk: medium. Avoid a table-specific solution. The invariant should be
 explained with generic "container and descendants" language, optionally backed
 by a compact trace that stresses sibling/implicit structures.

The docs did well in three important places: the Tag Processor overview says tree-aware text extraction should use WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment(); the HTML Processor text-extraction recipe says to append only ordinary #text tokens and use get_modifiable_text(), which handled nested markup and decoded &amp; correctly; and the next_token() docs explicitly say the HTML Processor visits virtual closers for implied and end-of-input closes, which explains why the implied-heading-close case passed. The near-miss is that every solution used a hand-rolled active-heading state machine. That pattern is documented as reliable, but trial-3 shows a small ambiguity: it flushed on any heading closer, not the active heading's closer. No hidden case exposed this.

The main near miss is special-element text. The next_token() and get_modifiable_text() sections explain that SCRIPT/STYLE/TEXTAREA/TITLE carry modifiable text on their opener tokens, and models over-applied that exception to a generic table text-content task. A read-only probe showed the reference returns [[\"ae\"]] for a cell containing a<script>b</script><textarea>c&amp;d</textarea>e, while all trials return [[\"abc&de\"]].

+      "explanation": "This uses `WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment()` to parse the HTML fragment with browser-like table handling, finds the first `TABLE` with `next_tag()`, then walks tokens inside that table with `next_token()`, tracking `TR`, `TD`, and `TH` openers/closers and concatenating cell text from `#text` tokens plus any special-element opener text via `get_modifiable_text()`. It relies on the processor’s structural depth via `get_current_depth()` so implied table elements and omitted closers are handled the way the HTML Processor documents.",

The `Recipe: scan a region before editing its opener`, `Recipe: test subtree membership and direct children`, `next_token()`, and `get_current_depth()` sections guided the bookmark-plus-depth-walk pattern. The `set_attribute()` docs covered overwriting an existing attribute, and `get_updated_html()` was clearly documented as the way to retrieve queued edits. The `paused_at_incomplete_token()` and `get_last_error()` guidance prevented edits when the first list region was truncated or hit unsupported markup, while allowing later incomplete or unsupported markup after a closed list because the bounded scan had already left the region.

The main near-miss is special-element text. Trials 1 and 3 would return 'ABC' for '<h2>A<script>B</script>C</h2>', while the reference returns 'AC'. That misconception comes from over-applying the next_token/get_modifiable_text special-element exception despite the later opt-in policy saying ordinary subtree text is only #text unless the caller explicitly asks for special-element content.

It scans tags in document order with `next_tag()`, filters `H1` through `H6`, then walks each heading subtree with `next_token()` using a depth guard from `get_current_depth()`. It appends ordinary text from `#text` tokens via `get_modifiable_text()`, and also includes text carried on special descendant element openers (`SCRIPT`, `STYLE`, `TEXTAREA`, `TITLE`) because those elements store their text on the tag token rather than separate `#text` children.",

Near-misses were small: trials 2 and 3 added a broad `get_last_error()` empty-result fallback, likely from the docs’ serialization/rewrite guidance to reject unsupported markup, even though extraction tasks need an explicit policy.

Those passages directly match the successful implementations. Near-misses: trials 2 and 3 over-applied the documented special-element behavior by adding SCRIPT/STYLE/TEXTAREA/TITLE opener-carried text inside cells. The relevant warning exists under 'Recipe: collect DOM-style text from a subtree' and get_modifiable_text(), so this is more a task/API terminology ambiguity than a missing method contract.

+# Round 34 Scratch Variant
+
+Variant name: `html-processor-depth-bounded-traversal-card`
+
+Control round: `round-33`
+
+Edited rendered file: `/tmp/html-api-docs-eval/round-34/html-processor.md`
+
+Source docblocks were not edited. This is a scratch-only rendered-doc A/B
+variant. The staged `html-processor.md` SHA-256 recorded in
+`round-metadata.json` is:
+
+```text
+4a4e64bbb3c43c248cb948ca752a01674a3dedc4eb77843d6fb7e63ea0a1f6ea
+```
+
+Inserted after `##### Recipe: scan a region before editing its opener` and
+before `##### Recipe: collect DOM-style text from a subtree`:
+
+````markdown
+##### Recipe: test subtree membership and direct children
+
+When a container opener is matched, record its current depth before advancing.
+Later tokens belong to that container while their depth is greater than or
+equal to the recorded depth. The first token reported at a shallower depth
+means the walk has moved past the container.
+
+To recognize a direct child element opener inside that subtree, require all
+three checks:
+
+```php
+$is_direct_child_opener =
+    '#tag' === $processor->get_token_type() &&
+    ! $processor->is_tag_closer() &&
+    $processor->get_current_depth() === $container_depth + 1;
+```
+
+Do not count closing tags as child elements. A child closer reports the parent
+depth, not the child depth, so a depth comparison alone is not enough.
+
+For repeated regions, prefer one {@see WP_HTML_Processor::next_token} loop
+with explicit state over nested `next_token()` loops. An inner loop consumes
+tokens from the same cursor and can skip the next sibling or region boundary
+that the outer loop expected to see.
+````
+
+Purpose: test whether a generic class-level traversal card improves
+depth-bounded subtree work, direct-child detection, and repeated-region token
+loop choices without editing source docblocks.

+## Round 35 — checkpoint clears depth-card promotion gate
+
+**All 99.47 / train 99.50 / held-out 99.38 / core 99.41** under
+`checkpoint`, with subjects `gpt-5.4` / `medium` / `priority` and judge
+`gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` / `priority`. This scored the current source docs after
+the round-32 `next_tag()` source edit and before promoting the round-34
+scratch traversal card.
+
+Outcome: stable. All 57 subject trials passed all hidden cases. Compared with
+the previous checkpoint, round 24, all-score rose 99.35 -> 99.47, train rose
+99.41 -> 99.50, and held-out rose 99.12 -> 99.38. Held-out scores were
+N01-remove-external-class 100.00, N02-collect-figure-images 99.80,
+N05-document-title 98.80, and H04-remove-empty-paragraphs 98.90. There is no
+held-out functional regression and no reason to revert the current source
+docs.
+
+The checkpoint also confirms the round-32 cursor edit held in the broader
+sentinel: N03-first-list-count was 100.00 and T07-nested-lists was 99.30. The
+lowest train task remains T08-table-extract at 98.10, with the same residual
+text-policy issue: subjects sometimes over-include SCRIPT/STYLE/TEXTAREA/TITLE
+opener-carried modifiable text when ordinary `#text` extraction was intended.
+That is separate from the depth/direct-child traversal card.
+
+Decision: the held-out gate is clear. Promote an adapted, concise version of
+the round-34 depth-bounded traversal/direct-child card into the
+`WP_HTML_Processor` class documentation as one source hypothesis, then run the
+docs-only guard, stage docs, and score it as the next normal source round.

Near-miss: class case-sensitivity is not documented consistently. The candidates passed the EXTERNAL case because the implementation's default no-quirks matching is case-sensitive, but the has_class() docs say ASCII case-insensitive while the compat_mode section says default class selectors are byte-for-byte.

The attribute docs also gave enough signal for null/true/empty-string filtering and decoded src values. Near-misses: candidates had to infer that an any-depth ancestor test should manually inspect get_breadcrumbs(), because breadcrumb queries and matches_breadcrumbs() describe direct chains with single-level wildcards, not descendant-anywhere matching.

The HTML Processor overview and the 'Recipe: scan a region before editing its opener' heading directly model the bookmark, forward scan, clean-scan check, seek-back, and edit flow. The next_tag() docs warn that tag_name is not a list of alternatives and show scanning any tag then branching on get_tag(), which all trials used for UL/OL. The next_token() and get_current_depth() docs explain bounded subtree walks, virtual/implied closers, the required >= depth guard, and separate checks for paused_at_incomplete_token() and get_last_error(). The set_attribute() docs explain overwriting existing attributes and string-vs-boolean semantics, avoiding mistakes around existing data-item-count. Near-misses: the recipe mentions 'how many direct children' but its code only detects a descendant heading; models had to infer the direct-child depth comparison themselves. The docs also imply, but do not sharply state, that incomplete/unsupported markup checks are scoped to the portion already scanned, which matters for trailing bad markup after a closed region.

The HTML Support section also explains that unsupported markup makes output-producing methods such as `serialize()` and `normalize()` return `null`, which directly supports the placeholder fallback. Near-misses: the `normalize()` examples use `echo` and only show successful outputs, so a weaker reader might miss that `null` must be tested distinctly from `''`; and the Unsupported Features section says the parser does not report parse errors before discussing bail-out behavior, which could be misread unless combined with the earlier HTML Support paragraph.",

The main near-miss is namespace handling. The canonical reference loops over TITLE matches and accepts only `get_namespace() === 'html'`, but every candidate returned the first local-name TITLE. The rendered docs expose `get_namespace()` and mention foreign content support, but they do not make it obvious at the point of use that `next_tag( 'TITLE' )` can match `svg:title` as well as HTML TITLE, nor that special-element text rules apply to HTML TITLE rather than any same-named foreign element.

The only near-miss is trial-3: it noticed the special-element text passage in get_modifiable_text() and opted into SCRIPT/STYLE/TEXTAREA/TITLE payloads inside H1. The same docs also warn, under \"Recipe: collect DOM-style text from a subtree\", that ordinary subtree text is not every token with modifiable text and should append only #text tokens unless the caller contract explicitly asks for special element content.

Those passages appear to have directly prevented the common mistakes for this task: choosing WP_HTML_Tag_Processor, treating SCRIPT/STYLE as text, missing TITLE/TEXTAREA text, double-decoding entities, or slicing raw bytes instead of UTF-8 text. The only near-miss area not exercised by the hidden suite is incomplete input: all candidates return the best effort text from visited tokens and do not check paused_at_incomplete_token() or get_last_error().

The Breadcrumbs section also gave enough information for candidates to infer that get_breadcrumbs() includes implicit HTML/BODY ancestors and the current element, and the add_class()/get_updated_html() docs supported byte-preserving class edits. The only near-miss was incomplete input policy: trial-1 and trial-3 check get_last_error() but not paused_at_incomplete_token(), while trial-2 over-applies a conservative complete-scan policy.

Those passages directly prevented the common failures for this task: using WP_HTML_Tag_Processor, regex-like scanning, nested cursor loops, missing omitted closers, walking past the first table, and returning raw entities. The main near-miss is special-element text. Trials 1 and 3 interpreted the special-element exception as permission to add SCRIPT/STYLE/TEXTAREA/TITLE modifiable text to ordinary cell text. The docs do contain a warning under 'Recipe: collect DOM-style text from a subtree' that ordinary subtree text is only #text tokens and special-element opener text should be opt-in, but nearby next_token()/get_modifiable_text() wording says to read special-element text from the opener, which can be overgeneralized. A second near-miss is incomplete input policy: only trial-2 checked paused_at_incomplete_token(); the others either checked only get_last_error() or neither.

If it returned non-null, it would reintroduce spans; if it returns null, the final `$html` fallback is unnormalized."

The documentation appears to have worked well for this task because it contains a direct, general recipe under `serialize_token()` for token-by-token rewrites: walk with `next_token()`, skip selected element tokens, and concatenate `serialize_token()`. It even uses a remove-element-but-keep-contents example and states that closing tokens of skipped elements must be skipped too. The processor-choice guidance also strongly pushed subjects toward `WP_HTML_Processor` for normalized output, implied or missing closing tags, and structure-aware parsing. The `next_token()` docs explain that closers are visited even for elements left unclosed at end of input, which likely prevented failures on the unclosed-span case.\n\nThe only near-miss across trials was error fallback policy. Trial-2 and trial-3 treated unsupported parser aborts as a reason to return the original input, or to normalize the original input. That did not affect this test set, but it shows a possible misconception: after a token rewrite has skipped/remapped tokens, the original input is no longer a valid fallback for the transformed result unless the caller explicitly accepts losing the transformation. The rendered docs do warn against normalizing the original after emitting changes, but that warning may be easy to read as applying only to the normal success path rather than to fallback handling.",

The only near-miss is that all candidates guarded against null from get_attribute_names_with_prefix(), but the docs are not fully explicit that a matched tag with no matching attributes returns an empty array, while null means no current tag opener.",

The documentation appears to have worked well for this task because it contains a direct, general recipe under `serialize_token()` for token-by-token rewrites: walk with `next_token()`, skip selected element tokens, and concatenate `serialize_token()`. It even uses a remove-element-but-keep-contents example and states that closing tokens of skipped elements must be skipped too. The processor-choice guidance also strongly pushed subjects toward `WP_HTML_Processor` for normalized output, implied or missing closing tags, and structure-aware parsing. The `next_token()` docs explain that closers are visited even for elements left unclosed at end of input, which likely prevented failures on the unclosed-span case.\n\nThe only near-miss across trials was error fallback policy. Trial-2 and trial-3 treated unsupported parser aborts as a reason to return the original input, or to normalize the original input. That did not affect this test set, but it shows a possible misconception: after a token rewrite has skipped/remapped tokens, the original input is no longer a valid fallback for the transformed result unless the caller explicitly accepts losing the transformation. The rendered docs do warn against normalizing the original after emitting changes, but that warning may be easy to read as applying only to the normal success path rather than to fallback handling.",

+Decision: the held-out gate is clear.
+
+Next action: promote an adapted, concise version of the round-34
+depth-bounded traversal/direct-child card into the `WP_HTML_Processor` class
+documentation as one source hypothesis, then run the docs-only guard, stage
+docs, and score it as the next normal source round.
 
 ## Rounds 33/34 — depth-bounded traversal scratch A/B wins

+ * #### Recipe: test subtree membership and direct children
+ *
+ * When a container opener is matched, record its current depth before
+ * advancing. Later tokens belong to that container while their depth is
+ * greater than or equal to the recorded depth. The first token reported at a
+ * shallower depth means the walk has moved past the container.
+ *
+ * To recognize a direct child element opener inside that subtree, require all
+ * three checks:
+ *
+ *     $is_direct_child_opener =
+ *         '#tag' === $processor->get_token_type() &&
+ *         ! $processor->is_tag_closer() &&
+ *         $processor->get_current_depth() === $container_depth + 1;
+ *
+ * Do not count closing tags as child elements. A child closer reports the
+ * parent depth, not the child depth, so a depth comparison alone is not
+ * enough.
+ *
+ * For repeated regions, prefer one {@see WP_HTML_Processor::next_token} loop
+ * with explicit state over nested `next_token()` loops. An inner loop consumes
+ * tokens from the same cursor and can skip the next sibling or region boundary
+ * that the outer loop expected to see.
+ *
  * #### Recipe: collect DOM-style text from a subtree
  *
  * Text extraction is usually a tree-aware operation, so use the HTML

 Hypothesis → outcome narrative, one entry per round. Newest first.
 
+## Round 36 — depth-bounded traversal source edit confirmed
+
+**Train 99.65 / core 99.59** under `scored-train`, with subjects
+`gpt-5.4` / `medium` / `priority` and judge `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` /
+`priority`. This scored the source promotion of the round-34 class-level
+HTML Processor recipe for subtree membership and direct-child opener checks.
+The prepared round was at `4a39f7802c`, with the documentation hypothesis in
+`6548356f1f`.
+
+Outcome: confirmed. All 45 subject trials passed all hidden cases. Compared
+with the primary same-mode scored-train baseline, round 32, the round is
+essentially tied: 99.67 -> 99.65, well clear of the revert threshold. The
+targeted traversal tasks held or improved: N03-first-list-count stayed
+perfect at 100.00, T07-nested-lists rose 99.30 -> 100.00, and
+T08-table-extract rose 97.60 -> 98.50. N06-extract-toc was 99.00, down only
+0.4 from round 32 and still all hidden cases passed.
+
+Secondary context: compared with the immediate pre-promotion checkpoint's
+train split, round 35 train 99.50 -> round 36 train 99.65. This is useful
+local context but not the primary comparator because round 35 was
+`checkpoint` mode and included held-out tasks.
+
+Decision: keep the traversal recipe source edit. It is general API
+documentation and the scored source round does not show a regression. The
+remaining judge signal is separate: special-element opener text can still be
+over-included in ordinary subtree text, `serialize_token()` rewriters still
+vary in fallback policy, and examples that call the inherited
+`paused_at_incomplete_token()` from HTML Processor workflows could be made
+more explicit.
+
+Next action: commit round-36 results separately from the source hypothesis,
+then analyze trusted round-36 judge notes against the backlog. Do not add more
+traversal/depth source prose unless a new measurement exposes a distinct
+failure.

The documentation worked well for this task because `html-processor.md` explicitly lists `normalize()` as a public static method, describes it as normalizing a BODY-context fragment by serialization, lists the normalization effects needed by the tests such as omitted tags, quoted attributes, table structure insertion, and text re-encoding, and states that it returns `string|null` with `null` when unable to normalize. The HTML Support section also says unsupported markup makes output-producing methods such as `serialize()` and `normalize()` return `null`, and it gives mis-nested formatting as an unsupported example. The main near-miss is that the null/failure contract is split between the HTML Support section and the `normalize()` return text; a model skimming only the method block could understand the return type but not clearly distinguish unsupported markup from incomplete trailing syntax, which normalization may omit rather than reject.

The docs did well on the key concepts: the processor-choice guidance clearly pushed subjects to WP_HTML_Processor for structure and text extraction; the subtree text recipe showed walking with next_token(), get_current_depth(), get_token_type(), and get_modifiable_text(); get_tag() returning uppercase avoided source-case problems; and the next_token()/get_current_depth() docs explained virtual/implied closers well enough for the malformed '<h2>One<h3>Two' case. The main near-miss is trial-3's special-element handling. Its explanation explicitly includes special-element opener text, which conflicts with the 'Recipe: collect DOM-style text from a subtree' passage saying ordinary subtree text is only #text tokens and special-element text is opt-in.

These passages explain the successful handling of nested markup, decoded entities, image-only empty text, first-of-two headings, deep nesting, and the unclosed H1 case. The only near-miss was trial-1's special-element handling. It read the documented SCRIPT/STYLE/TITLE/TEXTAREA exception as something to include for H1 text generally. A probe shows it would return 'ABC' for '<h1>A<script>B</script>C</h1>', while the ordinary #text-only recipe used by the reference returns 'AC'.

The docs worked well here because the Tag Processor docs contain a directly applicable general pattern under Building markup from a template: start from a literal shape, include existing empty attributes to preserve written order, include placeholder text for elements that need text, then use next_token(), #text, set_modifiable_text(), and get_updated_html(). The set_attribute() section clearly says to pass plain unescaped values and explains encoding plus attribute placement. The set_modifiable_text() section explains that ordinary elements like FIGCAPTION do not carry their own text and that empty elements contain no #text token, which prevented the common mistake of calling set_modifiable_text() while matched on FIGCAPTION or trying to fill an empty element. Near misses: the candidates did not check set_modifiable_text()'s boolean return even though the docs say to always check it; this is safe in the controlled template after matching #text, but the example itself encourages the omission. Also, the next_token() method docs still include stale wording that the Tag Processor currently only supports tag tokens, which conflicts with the surrounding #text examples and could confuse readers on tasks requiring text-token edits.",

Those passages directly prevented common failures such as using WP_HTML_Tag_Processor for DOM-style text, appending every modifiable-text token and accidentally including script/style/comment contents, double-decoding entities, or missing malformed paragraph nesting.

The HTML Processor 'Recipe: collect DOM-style text from a subtree', next_token(), and get_current_depth() sections show the #text-only accumulation pattern, decoded text via get_modifiable_text(), and the >= depth boundary that preserves text after nested inline markup. get_attribute() documents the string|true|null split, which led all trials to use is_string and exclude missing or valueless href. The near-misses were not functional failures: trials 1 and 3 used manual closer stacks instead of the depth recipe, and trial 3 included an unnecessary EOF flush despite the docs saying end-of-input closers are visited.

The main near-miss was special-element text. Trials 1 and 2 read the get_modifiable_text special-element exception as permission to include SCRIPT, STYLE, TEXTAREA, and TITLE contents in a cell. The overview recipe 'collect DOM-style text from a subtree' says ordinary subtree text should append only #text tokens unless the caller explicitly opts into special-element content, but the method-level get_modifiable_text text emphasizes that special elements carry modifiable text. A second near-miss was scan completion policy: trial 1 never checked get_last_error and unconditionally flushed pending state after the loop, so unsupported parser aborts can return partial data. The docs mention get_last_error under HTML support and rewrite examples, but the most relevant text-extraction recipe does not end with a return-policy checklist.",

The next_tag() docs explain that an argument-less call walks real tag openers and ignores tag-like text in comments/raw text, which explains the comments-untouched behavior. The get_attribute_names_with_prefix() docs document case-insensitive matching and lowercase returned names, which prevents uppercase attribute failures. The remove_attribute() overview says it is safe for unknown attributes, and get_updated_html() is clearly identified as the correct way to retrieve queued edits while preserving untouched bytes. Near-misses: get_attribute_names_with_prefix() implies but does not explicitly spell out that a matched tag with no matching attributes returns an empty array, distinct from null when no opener is matched; remove_attribute()'s method section does not itself mention case-insensitive attribute-name handling; and the high-level attribute-modification section does not surface get_attribute_names_with_prefix() as the general bulk-edit enumeration tool.",

+## Rounds 37/38 — method-local text policy scratch A/B loses
+
+`round-37` was the control rendered-doc round and `round-38` was a
+scratch-only HTML Processor rendered-doc variant for five train tasks:
+`T03-first-h1-text`, `T05-text-excerpt`, `N06-extract-toc`,
+`T08-table-extract`, and `T09-mark-keyword`. Both used `shadow-doc-a/b`,
+subjects `gpt-5.4` / `medium` / `priority`, and judge `gpt-5.5` /
+`xhigh` / `priority`. Source docblocks were unchanged.
+
+Variant: change the method-local `WP_HTML_Processor::next_token()` special
+elements paragraph from "important exception" framing to explicit
+caller-policy framing, and add a method-local `get_modifiable_text()` warning
+that the method is not a predicate for ordinary text. The intended target was
+the recurring over-inclusion of SCRIPT/STYLE/TEXTAREA/TITLE opener-carried
+text in ordinary subtree extraction.
+
+Numeric result: variant lost, **98.72 vs 99.18** on the paired subset. All
+30 subject trials passed all hidden cases, so the loss is adherence-only.
+T03 was flat at 98.80, but T05 fell 99.60 -> 98.60, N06 fell 98.90 ->
+98.80, T08 fell 98.70 -> 98.30, and T09 fell 99.90 -> 99.10. The variant did
+not eliminate the target pattern: variant T03 still had one trial including
+special-element opener text, and variant T08 still had two such trials.
+
+Interpretation: do not promote this wording. The method-local text-policy
+direction is not dead, but this particular phrasing adds noise and can pull
+models into broader fallback or special-element reasoning without fixing the
+transfer problem. Keep the existing source docs unchanged.
+
+Next action: run the separate normalized-output / `serialize_token()`
+fallback diagnostic as a citation-only probe before any source edit. Round-36
+and round-37/38 judges repeatedly show candidates improvising raw-input or
+`normalize( $html )` fallbacks after token-by-token rewrites, but that
+hypothesis has not had a fresh focused probe after the round-36 source state.

 Risk: medium. Avoid replacing the processor-choice win with a task-shaped text
 recipe. Phrase the edit, if promoted, as a token/policy matrix.

The near-misses were policy boundaries rather than hidden failures. Trial 3 followed the special-element note too aggressively: the recipe's default policy says ordinary subtree text is only reached #text tokens and warns not to include special-element opener text merely because it is available, but the next_token()/get_modifiable_text() sections also emphasize that SCRIPT, STYLE, TITLE, and TEXTAREA carry text on opener tokens. That tension can make a generic request for 'text content' ambiguous.

That prevented matching attributes, comments, and special text-bearing elements. `html-processor.md` under \"Recipe: rewrite while serializing tokens\" and `serialize_token()` gives the needed pattern: walk tokens, emit/skips/wraps selected token serializations, and return the accumulated string instead of calling `normalize()` afterward.

Near misses were around policy rather than API discovery: none of the trials checked `paused_at_incomplete_token()`, and trial-3 used `get_last_error()` in a way that turns unsupported markup into an empty TOC.

Those passages led every trial to use create_fragment(), walk tokens, append #text, specially include TITLE/TEXTAREA opener text, and avoid double-decoding entities.\n\nNear-misses were policy-related rather than test failures. Trial 1 added a lexical Tag Processor fallback even though the Tag Processor docs explicitly say it is not parsed BODY-fragment text-content extraction. Trial 2 omitted get_last_error(), so an unsupported-parser abort would look like successful end-of-input. Trial 3 returned an empty string on get_last_error(), which is defensible but not clearly mandated for read-only extraction. None of the trials checked paused_at_incomplete_token(); probes confirmed incomplete trailing syntax can pause with get_last_error() still null, so the docs need to keep those states distinct for extraction code, not only for mutation or serialization code.",

The main near-miss is special text-bearing elements. Trials 1 and 3 included SCRIPT/STYLE/TEXTAREA/TITLE opener-carried text inside cells. A probe with <td>A<script>B</script>C</td> returns ABC for those trials but AC for the reference. This was not caused by a missing method doc: the rendered docs explicitly warn under 'Recipe: collect DOM-style text from a subtree', next_token(), and get_modifiable_text() that ordinary subtree text is #text only and special-element modifiable text must be opt-in.

The near-miss was error handling: trials 1 and 3 called normalize($html) after accumulating rewritten output.

+# Round 38 Scratch Variant
+
+Variant name: `html-processor-method-local-text-policy-clarification`
+
+Control round: `round-37`
+
+Edited rendered file: `/tmp/html-api-docs-eval/round-38/html-processor.md`
+
+Source docblocks were not edited. This is a scratch-only rendered-doc A/B
+variant. The staged `html-processor.md` SHA-256 recorded in
+`round-metadata.json` is:
+
+```text
+3f695d2cb2d43f14de27b3824edcbe600bb4d4f14c8650424840a0b4d9fe0b5b
+```
+
+Changed the method-local `WP_HTML_Processor::next_token()` special-elements
+paragraph from an "important exception" framing to an explicit caller-policy
+framing: special elements do not produce ordinary `#text` child tokens, and
+their opener-carried text should be included only when the caller explicitly
+asks for special-element contents.
+
+Added a method-local warning to `WP_HTML_Processor::get_modifiable_text()`:
+the method is not a predicate for ordinary text content; ordinary DOM-style
+element text should first require `get_token_type() === '#text'`, while
+comments, processing instructions, and special-element openers should be
+included only by explicit caller policy.
+
+Purpose: test whether moving the ordinary-text versus special-element
+opt-in boundary to the method sections reduces special-element over-inclusion
+in text extraction and text-node-only serialization tasks without editing
+source docblocks.

 Hypothesis → outcome narrative, one entry per round. Newest first.
 
+## Round 39 — serialization fallback citation probe passes
+
+`round-39` was a `discoverability-probe` against the current rendered docs,
+with subjects `gpt-5.4` / `medium` / `priority`. The question asked how a
+token-by-token `serialize_token()` rewriter should distinguish
+`create_fragment()` returning `null`, later `get_last_error()`, trailing
+incomplete input via `paused_at_incomplete_token()`, post-rewrite
+`normalize( $html )` / `serialize()` calls, and raw-input fallback when the
+caller promises normalized output.
+
+Outcome: 3/3 subjects answered correctly with local citations. They found
+that factory `null` is construction-time failure while non-null
+`get_last_error()` is a later parser abort; `paused_at_incomplete_token()` is
+a separate complete-input policy check after scanning; the accumulated
+`serialize_token()` string is the rewrite; calling `normalize( $html )` on
+the original input discards emitted changes; `serialize()` returns `null`
+after scanning has started; and raw original input is not documented as a
+normalized-output fallback.
+
+Interpretation: the facts are discoverable when directly requested. The
+remaining problem is transfer into implementation tasks, where round-36 and
+round-37/38 candidates still improvised raw-input or `normalize( $html )`
+fallbacks after a rewrite loop.
+
+Next action: test a scratch-only method-local fallback-policy card around
+`serialize_token()` / `create_fragment()` / `normalize()` on
+`T09-mark-keyword`, `T12-unwrap-spans`, and `N04-normalize-or-placeholder`.
+Do not source-edit from this probe alone.

+Round-39 citation probe result: passed 3/3 at the current subject tier.
+Subjects correctly distinguished factory `null` from later `get_last_error()`,
+found `paused_at_incomplete_token()` as a separate complete-input policy

The docs distinguish these, but only the later case gets an explicit rewrite-loop rule: reject or fall back when `get_last_error()` is non-`null`.\n2. `paused_at_incomplete_token()` should be checked after the walk is drained to know whether scanning stopped on trailing incomplete syntax. The docs say this is a separate policy decision: best-effort rewrites may omit the incomplete tail, but callers that require complete input should reject when it is `true`.\n3. After a token-by-token rewrite that accumulates `serialize_token()` output and injects wrapper markup, the accumulated string is the result. Do not call `normalize( $html )` on the original input unless you intend to discard the rewrite, and do not call `serialize()` after scanning has started because it returns `null` once `next_token()` or `next_tag()` has been called.\n4. If a function promises normalized output, returning the raw original input is not documented as an acceptable fallback. The docs define normalized output as serialized/normalized HTML, and for unsupported markup they say outputs become `null` and rewrite loops must reject or use some caller-defined fallback; they do not endorse returning unnormalized original bytes under a normalized-output contract.",

 Hypothesis → outcome narrative, one entry per round. Newest first.
 
+## Rounds 40/41 — serialization fallback scratch A/B wins
+
+`round-40` was the control rendered-doc round and `round-41` was a
+scratch-only HTML Processor rendered-doc variant for three train tasks:
+`T09-mark-keyword`, `T12-unwrap-spans`, and
+`N04-normalize-or-placeholder`. Both used `shadow-doc-a/b`, subjects
+`gpt-5.4` / `medium` / `priority`, and judge `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` /
+`priority`. Source docblocks were unchanged.
+
+Variant: add method-local fallback-policy guidance around
+`WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment()`, `normalize()`, and
+`serialize_token()`: factory `null` means no processor was created; later
+`get_last_error()` is an unsupported-parser abort; the accumulated
+`serialize_token()` output is the rewrite; `normalize( $html )` on the
+original input discards emitted rewrite changes; raw original input is not
+normalized output; and `paused_at_incomplete_token()` is a separate
+complete-input policy check.
+
+Numeric result: variant won, **99.83 vs 99.57** on the paired subset. All
+18 subject trials passed all hidden cases. N04 stayed perfect at 100.00.
+T12 improved 98.90 -> 100.00, with all variant trials using an explicit
+empty-string fallback instead of raw input or `normalize( $html )` after the
+rewrite loop. T09 fell slightly, 99.80 -> 99.50, because one variant trial
+still used `normalize( $html )` as an error fallback.
+
+Interpretation: promotable after the checkpoint gate, but adapt carefully.
+The source edit should keep the winning method-local fallback-policy shape,
+but should make the anti-pattern more explicit than the scratch wording:
+after a `serialize_token()` rewrite loop, `normalize( $html )` and raw input
+both abandon the accumulated rewrite; choose a caller-defined failure signal
+instead.
+
+Next action: run a checkpoint/regression sentinel on the current source docs
+before promoting another source docblock edit. If held-out remains stable,
+promote an adapted fallback-policy card as one source hypothesis and score it
+normally.

The unsupported-markup overview explains that unsupported input aborts processing and output-producing methods such as `serialize()` and `normalize()` return `null`, which explains the fallback behavior for misnested formatting and anchor misnesting.

The near-misses were around fallback policy. Trial 2 used normalize() on the original input in an error branch despite the serialize_token() warning that this discards loop changes.

+# Round 41 Scratch Variant
+
+Variant name: `html-processor-serialization-fallback-policy-card`
+
+Control round: `round-40`
+
+Edited rendered file: `/tmp/html-api-docs-eval/round-41/html-processor.md`
+
+Source docblocks were not edited. This is a scratch-only rendered-doc A/B
+variant. The staged `html-processor.md` SHA-256 recorded in
+`round-metadata.json` is:
+
+```text
+4aba1668246294ef9130b083b13360c9a12f7a6cfe54276b2bf9fe2e9470a76c
+```
+
+Changed rendered documentation in three places:
+
+- `WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment()` now says `null` means no processor
+  was created, while a non-null processor can still later abort and should be
+  checked with `get_last_error()` after the relevant scan.
+- `WP_HTML_Processor::normalize()` now says it normalizes the original
+  fragment and is not a way to finish a token-by-token rewrite; normalizing
+  the original input discards emitted rewrite changes.
+- `WP_HTML_Processor::serialize_token()` now has an explicit fallback-policy
+  card: accumulated output is the rewrite, `serialize()` after scanning
+  returns `null`, raw original input is not normalized output, non-null
+  `get_last_error()` is unsupported parser abort, and
+  `paused_at_incomplete_token()` is a separate complete-input policy check.

+## Round 42 — checkpoint clears fallback-policy promotion gate
+
+**All 99.29 / train 99.54 / held-out 98.38 / core 99.21** under
+`checkpoint`, with subjects `gpt-5.4` / `medium` / `priority` and judge
+`gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` / `priority`. This scored the current source docs after
+the round-36 depth/direct-child source edit and before promoting the winning
+round-41 serialization fallback-policy scratch card.
+
+Outcome: stable enough to continue. All 57 subject trials passed all hidden
+cases. Compared with the previous checkpoint, round 35, train rose 99.50 ->
+99.54 while held-out fell 99.38 -> 98.38. The held-out decline is below the
+2-point revert threshold and is not an all-trial functional regression:
+N01-remove-external-class stayed 100.00, N02-collect-figure-images was 98.90,
+H04-remove-empty-paragraphs was 98.20, and N05-document-title fell to 96.40
+from one adherence-only trial. Held-out judge gaps remain regression-sentinel
+data only and must not drive the next edit.
+
+The train tasks tied to the fallback-policy candidate stayed strong:
+N04-normalize-or-placeholder was 100.00, T12-unwrap-spans was 98.80, and
+T09-mark-keyword was 99.80. Round-42 judges still noted the same generic gap:
+after a token-by-token `serialize_token()` rewrite, `normalize( $html )` on
+the original input or returning raw input discards the accumulated rewrite and
+is only a caller-chosen fallback, not normalized rewritten output.
+
+Decision: checkpoint gate is clear. Promote one adapted source docblock
+hypothesis for serialization fallback policy, making the anti-pattern more
+explicit than the round-41 scratch wording.
+
+Next action: commit round-42 results separately, then edit the
+`WP_HTML_Processor` source docs for the fallback-policy hypothesis, run the
+docs-only guard, stage docs, and score the source edit as the next normal
+source round.

+Round 42 supplied that checkpoint: all 99.29 / train 99.54 / held-out 98.38,

The main near-miss was trial-1's hand-built <p> emission after delaying a paragraph opener.

The get_current_depth() section explains why the guard must be >= rather than >, which prevented the common nested-markup failure. The next_token() section explains that unclosed elements still produce closing tokens, which supports the unclosed-h1 case. The get_modifiable_text() section clearly states that #text is already decoded, preventing double decoding and preserving the empty-string image-only case.\n\nThe only near-miss is trial-3. It noticed the documented special-element exception and included opener text from SCRIPT, STYLE, TEXTAREA, and TITLE. The docs do say those elements carry modifiable text on the element token, but the same recipe also says ordinary subtree text is only #text tokens unless the caller intentionally opts into another token type.

Its opt-in policy explicitly says TITLE and TEXTAREA provide decoded text on opener tokens while SCRIPT and STYLE provide raw text and should not be included merely because available. The next_token() section explains that special elements produce no #text children and that malformed input still produces closing tokens. The get_modifiable_text() section states that #text, TITLE, and TEXTAREA are already decoded UTF-8 and should be measured/sliced with an explicit UTF-8 encoding. Near-misses: trial-2 used get_tag() while trials 1 and 3 used get_token_name(); both are documented and valid here, but the docs alternate between them in examples, which could confuse weaker users about which is preferred for token-walk code.",

Near-miss: trials 1 and 2 over-applied the clean-scan guidance from the mutation/rewrite examples. In a read-only probe, `<a href=\"/ok\">ok</a><span` produced an accumulated link in the reference and trial-3, but trials 1 and 2 returned an empty array because paused_at_incomplete_token() was true after the already-complete link.

The docs did well on the central decision points: they clearly direct structural/ancestor-sensitive work to WP_HTML_Processor rather than WP_HTML_Tag_Processor, explain create_fragment() for body fragments, document that next_tag() walks openers by default, define get_breadcrumbs() as the root-to-current path including HTML/BODY/current node, and point mutation output to add_class() plus get_updated_html(). The near-misses were policy and ergonomics issues rather than failures. Trial-3 appears to have overgeneralized the incomplete-input guidance into a two-pass all-or-nothing validation flow, even though this task's decision is local to each current tag's breadcrumbs. Trials 1 and 2 also added a get_last_error() fallback after queueing edits; this is conservative, but the docs' serialization-oriented 'reject or fall back' language can be read as applying to all mutation loops, even when get_updated_html() can preserve untouched bytes and return queued edits.",

To avoid partial edits on truncated or unsupported HTML, it first performs a validation scan and returns the original fragment unchanged if `paused_at_incomplete_token()` or `get_last_error()` indicates the structure scan was not clean; otherwise it performs the same scan again and returns the byte-preserving result via `get_updated_html()`.",

The main near-miss was special-element text. All trials added SCRIPT/STYLE/TEXTAREA/TITLE opener text to cell contents, while the reference and the ordinary subtree-text recipe append only #text tokens. This likely comes from the get_modifiable_text() documentation being broad and memorable: it correctly says special elements carry modifiable text, but implementers may over-apply that fact when asked for generic text extraction.

Near-misses: remove_attribute() itself does not locally state that attribute-name matching is ASCII case-insensitive, so the uppercase-source-attribute case relied on connecting the prefix helper's lowercase result to removal behavior. Also, get_attribute_names_with_prefix() says null means no tag opener is matched, but does not explicitly contrast that with an empty array for a matched tag with no prefix matches; the candidates handled this naturally, but weaker implementations could misread null as the no-match-on-current-tag value.",

+## Round 43 — serialization fallback source edit scored neutral
+
+**Train 98.18 / core 97.89** under `scored-train`, with subjects
+`gpt-5.4` / `medium` / `priority` and judge `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` /
+`priority`. This scored commit `27c764f6f0`, which promoted the round-41
+fallback-policy card into source docs around the HTML Processor class recipe,
+`create_fragment()`, `normalize()`, and `serialize_token()`.
+
+Outcome: keep under the revert rule, but treat as neutral rather than a clean
+win. Compared with the primary scored-train comparator, round 36, train fell
+99.65 -> 98.18. The drop is below the 2-point revert threshold and is not an
+all-trial task regression. It is concentrated in one unrelated T05-text-excerpt
+trial that passed 2/10 because the candidate treated `preg_match_all()` as a
+boolean/single-match API and skipped multi-codepoint text chunks. The judge
+explicitly called this a PHP bug, not an HTML API documentation failure.
+
+Target serialization tasks remained stable but did not show a decisive win:
+N04-normalize-or-placeholder stayed 100.00, T12-unwrap-spans rose 99.70 ->
+99.80, and T09-mark-keyword fell 99.30 -> 99.10. All target hidden cases
+passed. The remaining near-miss is still raw-input fallback after parser
+abort: T09 candidates returned the original HTML even though the source docs
+now state that raw input is not normalized rewritten output. The edit improved
+local correctness of the docs, but the transfer problem is not fully solved.
+
+Decision: keep `27c764f6f0`; do not revert. Do not spend another immediate
+source edit on fallback-policy wording without fresh diagnostic evidence.
+
+Next action: commit round-43 results separately, then analyze trusted judge
+notes for the next diagnostic. The strongest current signals are still text
+policy/read-only extraction and UTF-8 decoded-text measurement, but the T05
+functional failure alone is generic model noise and should not drive a source
+edit by itself.

+Round 43 scored that source promotion. It was neutral, not a clean win: train
+fell 99.65 -> 98.18 versus the comparable scored-train source round, below the
+2-point revert threshold and without an all-trial task regression. The drop
+came from one T05 PHP `preg_match_all()` bug that the judge classified as not
+HTML API misuse. Serialization targets stayed stable (N04 100.00, T12 99.80,
+T09 99.10) but the raw-input fallback near-miss persisted. Keep the source

That gave subjects a direct, low-risk path to the reference solution. The only near-miss is that unsupported cases record a `trigger_error` from serialization even though `normalize()` returns `null`; because the canonical solution has the same behavior and there are no `_doing_it_wrong` records, this is not candidate misuse, but the docs could make the warning/null behavior less surprising.",

That explains why every trial handled nested inline markup, decoded entities, empty headings, uppercase source tags, and implied heading closure.\n\nNear-misses: trials 1 and 2 over-applied the get_modifiable_text() method contract. The get_modifiable_text() section accurately says SCRIPT, STYLE, TEXTAREA, and TITLE carry text on their opener tokens, but models treated that as part of ordinary element text despite the separate subtree-text recipe warning that ordinary DOM-style extraction is only #text tokens unless special-element text is explicitly requested. Trial 2 also over-read the incomplete-token guidance: the docs say fallback behavior is the caller's contract, but do not give enough read-only extraction guidance, so it discarded valid earlier results on trailing incomplete syntax such as a dangling '<'.

The main near-miss is special elements. Trials 1 and 2 inferred that special element opener text should be included inside the H1 because the docs explain that SCRIPT/STYLE/TITLE/TEXTAREA carry text on the opener token. That behavior is documented, but the broader docs also say ordinary subtree text should append only `#text` tokens unless the caller explicitly opts into special-element content.

The docs did especially well in the Tag Processor page under \"Which processor should I use?\", which distinguishes flat byte-preserving mutation from tree-aware parsing, and under \"Building markup from a template\", which directly explains the winning pattern: start with a literal shape, include attributes in the desired order, include placeholder text, update with set_attribute()/set_modifiable_text(), then call get_updated_html(). The set_attribute section also clearly explains that plain unescaped values are accepted and encoded, and that newly added attributes sort by name rather than call order. The get_modifiable_text/set_modifiable_text sections clarify decoded/plain text handling, preventing the common mistake of manually escaping captions or trying to parse caption HTML as markup. Near miss: the template recipe calls set_modifiable_text() without checking its return value, while the method-level docs say to always check it. In this literal-template case the invariant is strong enough, but the example slightly undercuts the defensive contract.",

The failures in `no-truncation-needed`, `truncate-mid-link`, `entities-count-decoded`, `multibyte-emoji`, `accented`, `script-excluded`, `textarea-title-counts-script-style-excluded`, and `malformed-nesting` all share the same misconception: the candidate treated `preg_match_all('/./us', $chunk, $matches)` as if success should return `1`. In PHP it returns the number of matches, so text chunks like `Just `, `Fish & Chips`, `before`, `form & field`, and `one` were discarded; only a one-codepoint whitespace chunk survived in the link/whitespace cases. The relevant HTML API docs were adequate: `WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment()` says body fragments should use the fragment parser; `next_token()` says to use token walking when text matters and that special elements have no `#text` children; `get_modifiable_text()` says `#text`, `TITLE`, and `TEXTAREA` text is decoded UTF-8 and should be measured/sliced with an explicit encoding.

Near-misses: trial-2 appears to overgeneralize the incomplete-input guidance from next_token()/paused_at_incomplete_token(), treating any trailing incomplete syntax as grounds to erase collected results. The relevant docs say this depends on caller policy, but the examples are mostly mutation/rewrite-oriented, making strict rejection look like a default.

The main near-miss is special-element text. Trials 1 and 3 whitelisted SCRIPT/STYLE/TEXTAREA/TITLE opener text, and trial 1 guessed additional special tags. The relevant passages document that special elements carry modifiable text on opener tokens, while the ordinary subtree-text recipe says not to include special opener text unless the caller opts in. Those facts are present, but split enough that a reader can over-apply get_modifiable_text() when a task says text content. A hidden case with special elements inside cells would diverge from the canonical #text-only interpretation, especially because SCRIPT/STYLE-like content is raw rather than decoded. A secondary near-miss is error policy: trials 1 and 2 discard accumulated rows when get_last_error() is non-null, while the reference is best-effort for already-visited tokens.

The add_class() section also covered the existing-class case by stating that it creates class when absent and appends without removing or reordering existing classes.

The docs worked well for this task because the `HTML Support` overview tells readers to choose `WP_HTML_Processor` for structure and normalization, `create_fragment()` matches body-fragment input, `next_token()` explains that text and closing tokens are visited, and `serialize_token()` gives the key rewrite pattern: walk tokens, skip tokens to remove them, and append normalized serialization for the rest. The `next_token()` discussion of implicit/end-of-input closers explains why the unclosed-span case succeeds. The main near-miss is trial-2's raw-input fallback after parser failure; the relevant `serialize_token()` passage does warn that returning original input discards the rewrite and is not normalized, but the fallback-policy guidance could be sharper for normalized-output APIs. Another near-miss is that all candidates relied on `get_tag()` returning a tag name for closers and null for non-tags; this is demonstrated indirectly by the `serialize_token()` example, but the `get_tag()` contract itself does not spell out those `next_token()`-walk semantics.",

+## Rounds 44/45 — text-policy decision table scratch A/B wins
+
+`round-44` was the control rendered-doc round and `round-45` was a
+scratch-only HTML Processor rendered-doc variant for five train tasks:
+`T03-first-h1-text`, `T05-text-excerpt`, `T06-collect-links`,
+`T08-table-extract`, and `N06-extract-toc`. Both used `shadow-doc-a/b`,
+subjects `gpt-5.4` / `medium` / `priority`, and judge `gpt-5.5` /
+`xhigh` / `priority`. Source docblocks were unchanged.
+
+Variant: add a compact "where text lives / extraction policy" table near the
+class-level DOM-style text recipe, plus short method-local reminders in
+`next_token()` and `get_modifiable_text()`: ordinary DOM-style text reads only
+visited `#text` tokens; special-element opener text is explicit opt-in for
+that element's own contents; TITLE/TEXTAREA are decoded while SCRIPT/STYLE are
+raw; and read-only extraction policy for partial scans is separate from
+mutation, normalization, and token-rewrite fail-closed policy.
+
+Numeric result: variant won, **99.56 vs 98.94** on the paired subset. All 30
+subject trials passed all hidden cases. T03 improved 99.10 -> 100.00, T05
+98.90 -> 99.90, T08 98.60 -> 99.50, and N06 98.70 -> 99.50. T06 dipped only
+99.40 -> 98.90, still with all trials passing all hidden cases.
+
+Transfer result: the variant eliminated the main special-element over-inclusion
+pattern in the paired tasks. Control T03 trial 3, T08 trials 1 and 3, and N06
+trial 2 still treated special-element opener text as ordinary subtree text.
+Variant T03, T08, and N06 trials all used ordinary `#text`-only extraction for
+those tasks. The remaining weak spot is read-only partial-scan policy: T06
+variant trial 2 still returned an empty result on `paused_at_incomplete_token()`
+even though all hidden cases passed.
+
+Interpretation: promotable after the checkpoint gate, but adapt carefully. The
+source edit should keep the compact decision-table shape and the method-local
+opt-in reminder. It should not over-expand the prose or imply that all
+read-only extractors should keep partial results; the contract remains caller
+policy.
+
+Next action: commit rounds 44/45 results separately, then run the required
+checkpoint/regression sentinel before promoting another source docblock edit.
+If held-out is stable, promote an adapted text-policy decision table as one
+source hypothesis.

+Rounds 44/45 revisited the text-policy transfer problem with a scratch-only
+decision-table variant. The variant won 99.56 vs 98.94 on T03/T05/T06/T08/N06,

The next_token/get_current_depth docs also explain virtual closers and malformed input well enough for the unclosed-h1 case, and get_modifiable_text() clearly states that ordinary #text is already decoded, explaining the entity case. The only near-miss was trial-3: it noticed that special elements carry modifiable text on opener tokens and generalized that into a generic #tag branch. A read-only probe shows the risk: for <h1>A<script>B</script>C</h1>, the reference-style #text walk returns \"AC\" while trial-3 returns \"ABC\"; for TEXTAREA it similarly appends opener text.

The main near-miss is special-element text. Trial-1 and trial-3 treated special element opener payloads as cell text. A probe with <td>A<script>B</script>C</td><td><textarea>D</textarea></td> shows the reference returns AC and empty string, while those trials return ABC and D. The relevant docs exist under 'Recipe: collect DOM-style text from a subtree' and get_modifiable_text(), but the availability of modifiable text on SCRIPT/TEXTAREA/TITLE/STYLE still invited over-inclusion. Trial-2 also shows a smaller near-miss: it manually flushes any open row/cell after the walk, suggesting it did not fully trust the documented virtual closer behavior, though that did not affect the hidden cases.",

The 'collect DOM-style text from a subtree' recipe and get_modifiable_text() docs prevented the common mistake of appending tags, comments, or raw special-element content, and made entity decoding clear. The get_current_depth() section's explicit >= guidance maps directly to headings with nested inline markup, while the next_token() section's promise of implicit/end-of-input closing tokens explains the implied-heading-close case. Near-misses: trial-1 over-applied get_last_error() as a global fail-closed policy for read-only extraction, and trial-3 relied on get_tag()/is_tag_closer() behavior on virtual closers that is demonstrated indirectly but could be stated more directly in method docs.",

The docs did well on the important concepts: WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment() is clearly recommended for BODY fragments and structural text extraction; the DOM-style text recipe shows next_tag()/next_token(), get_current_depth(), #text filtering, and get_modifiable_text(); get_attribute() documents string|true|null and decoded attribute values; get_modifiable_text() documents decoded #text values; next_token() documents virtual/end-of-input closers, which explains why the unclosed-link case works.

+# Round 45 Scratch Variant
+
+Variant name: `html-processor-text-policy-decision-table`
+
+Control round: `round-44`
+
+Edited rendered file: `/tmp/html-api-docs-eval/round-45/html-processor.md`
+
+Source docblocks were not edited. This is a scratch-only rendered-doc A/B
+variant. The staged `html-processor.md` SHA-256 recorded in
+`round-metadata.json` is:
+
+```text
+dbec31d2a26f4223bfa3509950485bd0cafa67b7acfb971ec7d28df15fa4e0a3
+```
+
+Changed rendered documentation in three places:
+
+- The class-level DOM-style text recipe now has a compact policy table:
+  ordinary subtree text uses only `#text`; special-element opener text is an
+  explicit opt-in with decoded/raw behavior called out; and read-only
+  extraction fallback policy is separated from mutation, normalization, and
+  token-rewrite fail-closed policy.
+- The `next_token()` special-element paragraph now frames SCRIPT, STYLE,
+  TITLE, and TEXTAREA opener-carried text as opt-in data for that element's
+  own contents, not ordinary heading, table-cell, link, or article text.
+- The inherited `get_modifiable_text()` section now states that it is not a
+  predicate for ordinary text nodes: ordinary DOM-style extraction should
+  first require `get_token_type() === '#text'`.
+
+Purpose: test whether a compact decision table and method-local opt-in
+reminders improve transfer for text extraction tasks where subjects
+over-include special-element opener text or discard read-only accumulated
+results after incomplete/unsupported trailing input.

The task and rendered docs are embedded directly in the subject prompt because local codex exec does not expose the experiment's Read/Grep-only tools. Codex project rules and user config are ignored; the process uses a read-only sandbox and approval policy never."

+## Round 46 — checkpoint clears text-policy promotion gate
+
+**All 99.36 / train 99.63 / held-out 98.33 / core 99.28** under
+`checkpoint`, with subjects `gpt-5.4` / `medium` / `priority` and judge
+`gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` / `priority`. This scored the current source docs after
+the round-43 serialization fallback source edit and before promoting the
+rounds-44/45 text-policy decision-table scratch variant.
+
+Outcome: stable enough to continue. All 57 subject trials passed all hidden
+cases. Compared with the previous checkpoint, round 42, train rose 99.54 ->
+99.63 while held-out was effectively flat, 98.38 -> 98.33. The held-out
+movement is below the revert threshold and is not an all-trial functional
+regression. Held-out judge gaps remain regression-sentinel data only and must
+not drive the next edit.
+
+The train tasks tied to the text-policy candidate stayed strong: T03 was
+100.00, T05 was 98.80, T06 was 99.50, T08 was 98.60, and N06 was 98.60. The
+checkpoint also repeated the same useful T05 near-miss from train evidence:
+visited parser artifacts are not necessarily emitted normalized content, so
+conditional subtree emission should test the serialized token string when the
+contract depends on emitted output.
+
+Decision: checkpoint gate is clear. Promote one adapted source docblock
+hypothesis for the text-policy decision table: ordinary DOM-style text reads
+visited `#text` tokens by default; special-element opener text is an explicit
+opt-in with different decoding/raw-text semantics; and read-only partial-scan
+fallback remains caller policy rather than a blanket reject-or-keep rule.
+
+Next action: commit round-46 results separately, then edit the
+`WP_HTML_Processor` source docs for the text-policy hypothesis, run the
+docs-only guard, stage docs, and score the source edit as the next normal
+source round.

Near miss: the docs make class-name case behavior discoverable but not crisp at the point of use. add_class() says exact byte-for-byte comparison, while remove_class() only says 'Removes a class name', and has_class() mentions ASCII case-insensitive behavior without foregrounding quirks-mode nuance.

Near-misses: the HTML Processor `get_attribute()` method page itself does not repeat the decoded-value contract, and the Breadcrumbs docs emphasize direct breadcrumb paths more than the common 'current element has any ancestor at any depth' check.

The rendered docs did unusually well for this task: the HTML Processor overview explicitly says to choose WP_HTML_Processor when document structure matters, while the Tag Processor page warns that it has no nesting depth or ancestor awareness. The next_tag() docs explain that tag_name is not an alternatives list and show scanning any tag then branching on get_tag(), which matches the first-UL-or-OL requirement. The region-before-editing recipe gives the exact bookmark -> next_token() subtree scan -> clean-scan check -> seek back pattern. The direct-child recipe states the three necessary checks: #tag, not a closer, and current depth equal to container depth + 1. The get_current_depth() and next_token() docs also explain why a bounded walk must use >= or break only when depth drops below the opener depth, which prevents undercounting around nested lists and omitted LI closers. The incomplete/unsupported cases were covered by passages warning that virtual closers prove structural exit but not byte completeness, and by the guidance to check paused_at_incomplete_token() and get_last_error() before applying a mutation. A near-miss remains: the rendered next_token() section still includes a stale Since note saying “Added for internal support; do not use,” even though the same page teaches it as the public tool for structural token walks.

The main near-miss is trial-2's inclusion of special-element opener text. This likely came from the get_modifiable_text and next_token passages explaining that SCRIPT/STYLE/TEXTAREA/TITLE carry modifiable text on their opener tokens. The recipe also says this content is opt-in and not ordinary subtree text, but the two ideas are separated enough that a model could over-include it for a generic text-content task. A secondary near-miss is cursor-shape guidance: the docs warn against nested next_token() loops for repeated regions, while the reference and trial-2 use a bounded inner walk after next_tag(); this worked here but leaves room for confusion about when nested scanning is safe versus when a single state-machine loop is preferred.",

The docs did well on the main hazards: the Tag Processor overview says to use the HTML Processor for structure and DOM-style text extraction; the HTML Processor `next_token()` docs explain that text may be split across multiple `#text` tokens and that `SCRIPT`, `STYLE`, `TITLE`, and `TEXTAREA` do not produce child `#text` tokens; `get_modifiable_text()` states that `#text`, `TITLE`, and `TEXTAREA` are decoded UTF-8 while `SCRIPT` and `STYLE` are raw. The near-miss is trials 1 and 3: they interpreted the `create_fragment()`/`get_last_error()` guidance as a reason to discard the whole read-only result after any later unsupported markup. In a probe, the reference and trial-2 return `abc` for `<p>abcdef</p><b>one<i>two</b>three</i>` with limit 3, while trials 1 and 3 return empty because they continue scanning into the unsupported misnesting and then reject. That did not appear in the frozen cases, but it shows an ambiguity between mutation/serialization safety guidance and best-effort read-only extraction. Incomplete trailing syntax was not explicitly tested beyond malformed nesting; none of the candidates checked `paused_at_incomplete_token()`, which is acceptable only if the caller's policy is best-effort accumulation of visited text.",

Attribute handling was also mostly clear: get_attribute() documents string|true|null, boolean attributes returning true, absent attributes returning null, and decoded attribute values in the Tag Processor page. The only near-miss was trial-2's global incomplete-input rejection.

Near-misses were not functional failures: trials 1 and 3 copied a raw-input fallback policy even though this task asks for normalized rewritten output, likely because the serialize_token docs mention original-input fallback as one possible policy before reiterating that it is not normalized.

+## Round 47 — text-policy decision table source edit confirmed
+
+**Train 99.55 / core 99.48** under `scored-train`, with subjects
+`gpt-5.4` / `medium` / `priority` and judge `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` /
+`priority`. This scored commit `29a148a4f7`, which promoted the winning
+rounds-44/45 text-policy decision table into the `WP_HTML_Processor` source
+docs.
+
+Outcome: keep. All 45 subject trials passed all hidden cases. Compared with
+the previous comparable scored-train round, round 43, train rose 98.18 ->
+99.55. That comparison includes round 43's known generic T05 PHP bug, so the
+more useful read is that round 47 is back in the high-signal band and below
+round 36 only by judge noise, 99.65 -> 99.55. There is no revert signal and
+no all-trial task regression.
+
+Target tasks stayed strong: T03 was 100.00, T05 was 98.00, T06 was 99.40,
+T08 was 99.40, and N06 was 99.20. Judges credited the promoted table and
+method-local reminders for the key transfer: candidates consistently used
+ordinary `#text` tokens for DOM-style heading, table-cell, link, and article
+text, and treated SCRIPT/STYLE/TITLE/TEXTAREA opener-carried text as opt-in
+data rather than ordinary subtree text.
+
+Residual signal: read-only completion policy is still not crisp enough. In
+T05, T06, T08, and N06, judges repeatedly saw candidates erase already
+collected read-only results when `paused_at_incomplete_token()` was true, even
+though the new source docs say this is caller policy. This is a real train
+near-miss, but the source docs already contain the basic fact, so do not
+promote another source wording change directly. Test a scratch variant that
+makes the read-only best-effort vs complete-source-validation decision more
+concrete.
+
+Next action: commit round-47 results separately, then run a focused scratch
+A/B for read-only completion policy on the affected train tasks before any
+additional source promotion.

+Round 47 confirmed that source promotion: train 99.55 / core 99.48, all 45
+train trials passed hidden cases, and the ordinary `#text` vs special-element
+opener-text boundary held across T03/T05/T06/T08/N06. Keep the source edit.
+The remaining train near-miss is narrower: read-only extractors still often

The near-miss is incomplete-input wording: WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::paused_at_incomplete_token() says to drain all tokens for whole-document truncation, while the HTML Processor subtree recipe encourages checking it after a bounded region scan. The candidates inferred the region-scoped policy correctly, including not rejecting incomplete markup after a closed list, but that distinction could be more explicit.

The main near-miss is incomplete trailing syntax. A probe with '<h1>OK</h1><' shows the processor reports the H1 tokens and then paused_at_incomplete_token() is true; the reference returns the collected heading, while all trials return an empty array.

The `next_token()` section also explains that the HTML Processor reports closing tokens for unclosed input, which supports the unclosed-H1 case. The `get_modifiable_text()` section states that `#text` content is already decoded, preventing double-decoding or raw entity output.

The docs worked especially well here: the Tag Processor overview says it is for flat, byte-preserving attribute/class edits, while the HTML Processor overview says structural parsing is for containment, text extraction, subtree walks, and normalization. The Tag Processor section 'Building markup from a template' directly taught the successful general pattern: start from a literal template, include empty attributes to preserve written order, include placeholder text because empty elements have no #text token, replace values through the API, and finish with get_updated_html(). The set_attribute() docs prevented the quotes and special-character attribute cases by stating that callers provide plain unescaped strings and that the API encodes them. The set_modifiable_text() docs prevented the caption cases by explaining that ordinary container elements do not carry text themselves, #text tokens do, and supplied text is encoded rather than parsed as HTML. Near-misses were small: candidates did not mention checking set_modifiable_text()'s boolean return, and trial-2 did not check next_tag(), but the literal template made both operations deterministic in this task.",

That likely came from mutation/rewrite examples that emphasize rejecting incomplete or unsupported scans, despite the later read-only policy note. trial-2 treated WP_HTML_Tag_Processor as a recovery parser after an HTML Processor abort.

Near-miss: every trial added a post-scan get_last_error() fallback to the original input. That is understandable from the Unsupported Markup and rewrite guidance, but for queued class/attribute mutations get_updated_html() still applies earlier edits even after later unsupported markup. A read-only probe with an edited nested list before an unsupported table-foster-parenting construct showed the reference returning the earlier class edit, while these candidates return the original HTML. This did not appear in the frozen cases.

The strongest successful passage was html-processor.md, 'Recipe: collect DOM-style text from a subtree', reinforced by next_token(), get_current_depth(), get_token_type(), and get_modifiable_text() docs: all trials walked the table subtree, ignored markup, and used decoded #text content. The next_token() discussion of implied TBODY and relative depth also appears to have prevented failures on THEAD/TBODY and omitted closing tags. Near-misses were around policy rather than failed behavior: trial-2 treated paused_at_incomplete_token() as a reason to discard partial extraction, while trials 1 and 3 ignored it.

The add_class and get_updated_html method docs also directly support the expected existing-class behavior and byte-preserving output.

The main near-miss is that remove_attribute() itself does not restate case-insensitive attribute-name behavior or duplicate-attribute behavior, so a reader using get_attribute() or their own discovered names might not be as confident as these trials were.

 Hypothesis → outcome narrative, one entry per round. Newest first.
 
+## Rounds 48/49 — read-only completion-policy scratch A/B wins
+
+`round-48` was the control rendered-doc round and `round-49` was a
+scratch-only HTML Processor rendered-doc variant for four train tasks:
+`T05-text-excerpt`, `T06-collect-links`, `T08-table-extract`, and
+`N06-extract-toc`. Both used `shadow-doc-a/b`, subjects `gpt-5.4` /
+`medium` / `priority`, and judge `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` / `priority`. Source
+docblocks were unchanged.
+
+Variant: add one compact read-only completion-policy rule of thumb under the
+class-level DOM-style text recipe. It separates best-effort extraction from
+complete-source validation and from mutation, normalization, or token-rewrite
+output. The key contract is that `paused_at_incomplete_token()` and
+`get_last_error()` report scan status; they do not retroactively invalidate
+tokens already visited.
+
+Numeric result: variant won, **99.65 vs 99.03** on the paired subset. All 24
+subject trials passed all hidden cases. T05 improved 98.30 -> 100.00, T08
+improved 99.00 -> 99.80, and N06 improved 99.40 -> 100.00. T06 dipped 99.40
+-> 98.80 because one variant trial still cleared read-only results on
+`get_last_error()`.
+
+Transfer result: the variant removed several over-strict completion-policy
+near-misses. Control N06 trial 2 rejected accumulated headings after
+`paused_at_incomplete_token()`, while variant N06 was 100/100/100 adherence.
+Control T05 trials 1 and 2 used a risky Tag Processor fallback after an HTML
+Processor abort; variant T05 used the HTML Processor pattern directly in all
+trials. T06 shows the remaining weakness: a compact policy note helps but
+does not fully prevent all fail-closed read-only collectors.
+
+Interpretation: promotable after a checkpoint gate, but adapt carefully. The
+source edit should keep the small rule-of-thumb shape and avoid implying that
+all read-only extractors must keep partial results. It should state the
+choice as caller contract: best-effort extraction may return accumulated
+visited-token data, while complete-source validation and mutations/rewrites
+should fail closed when required.
+
+Next action: commit rounds 48/49 results separately, then run the required
+checkpoint/regression sentinel before promoting another source docblock edit.
+If held-out remains stable, promote an adapted read-only completion-policy
+note as one source hypothesis.

 ## Round 47 — text-policy decision table source edit confirmed

 read-only completion-policy note/example against T05/T06/T08/N06, with the
 decision framed as best-effort extraction versus complete-source validation.
 
+Rounds 48/49 tested that scratch variant. It won 99.65 vs 99.03 on the
+paired T05/T06/T08/N06 subset with all hidden cases passing. T05 moved to
+100.00, T08 to 99.80, and N06 to 100.00; T06 dipped to 98.80 because one

Trials 1 and 2 followed the docs' permission to choose a fallback policy, but implemented a risky fallback: on a foster-parenting probe, the reference and trial-3 returned the accumulated HTML Processor text `A`, while trials 1 and 2 returned `AABC` because they appended a full lexical Tag Processor scan to the already-accumulated prefix.

The main near-miss was trial-1's explanation and code treating paused_at_incomplete_token()/get_last_error() as a default reason to discard all read-only results. The HTML Processor quick policy table says read-only callers must choose the promised policy because those checks do not erase already visited tokens; trial-1 chose a stricter policy than the task specified.

The Tag Processor docs also steer DOM-style body-fragment text extraction toward WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment(). Near-misses were minor: none of the trials checked paused_at_incomplete_token()/get_last_error(), but the task and reference did not require rejecting incomplete lexical input, and the malformed-nesting case was handled by normal fragment parsing.

That passed the frozen cases, but it is less robust for malformed or unsupported trailing markup because it returns an empty result when `get_last_error()` is non-null.

Those passages directly prevented the common failures for this task: using the Tag Processor, parsing raw strings, missing omitted table closers, including markup/comment/special-element text, or returning encoded entities.

+# Round 49 Scratch Variant
+
+Variant name: `html-processor-read-only-completion-policy`
+
+Control round: `round-48`
+
+Edited rendered file: `/tmp/html-api-docs-eval/round-49/html-processor.md`
+
+Source docblocks were not edited. This is a scratch-only rendered-doc A/B
+variant. The staged `html-processor.md` SHA-256 recorded in
+`round-metadata.json` is:
+
+```text
+6347a6d78c43bc698fde6bbc9e861b9653dafad352f14739810b272f15dec804
+```
+
+Changed rendered documentation in one place:
+
+- The class-level DOM-style text recipe now adds a compact read-only
+  completion-policy rule of thumb. It distinguishes best-effort extraction
+  from complete-source validation and from mutation, normalization, or
+  token-rewrite output.
+
+Purpose: test whether making the already-documented caller-policy distinction
+more concrete prevents subjects from discarding already visited read-only
+extraction results when `paused_at_incomplete_token()` or `get_last_error()`
+reports a later scan problem.

+## Round 50 — checkpoint before weaker-tier calibration
+
+**All 99.08 / train 99.65 / held-out 96.93 / core 98.97** under
+`checkpoint`, with subjects `gpt-5.4` / `medium` / `priority` and judge
+`gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` / `priority`. This scored the current source docs after
+the round-47 text-policy source edit and after the rounds-48/49 read-only
+completion-policy scratch A/B. Source docblocks were unchanged since
+`29a148a4f7`.
+
+Outcome: stable enough not to revert. Compared with the previous checkpoint,
+round 46, train rose 99.63 -> 99.65 while held-out fell 98.33 -> 96.93. The
+held-out movement is below the 2-point revert threshold and is not an
+all-trial task regression. The drop is concentrated in N02 trial 3, which
+passed 6/9 after interpreting `array( 'FIGURE', 'IMG' )` breadcrumbs as
+arbitrary-depth containment rather than a contiguous breadcrumb path. This is
+held-out-only sentinel evidence and must not drive a source edit.
+
+The train tasks tied to the read-only completion-policy candidate stayed
+strong: T05 was 99.90, T06 was 98.40, T08 was 99.30, and N06 was 100.00.
+This keeps the round-49 scratch variant viable, but the current primary tier
+is saturated enough that another immediate source promotion would have weak
+signal.
+
+Decision: do not revert. Do not promote another source docblock edit yet.
+Per experiment-owner direction, move to a weaker subject tier and run a
+no-edit calibration before using that tier to drive source edits.
+
+Next action: commit round-50 results separately, then prepare and run a
+`weak-tier-calibration` round on current docs using the next subject tier in
+`PROTOCOL.md`, `gpt-5.4` / `low` / `priority`.
+
 ## Rounds 48/49 — read-only completion-policy scratch A/B wins

For figcaption-sibling, cap.jpg is at FIGURE > FIGCAPTION > IMG. For unclosed-figure, later.jpg is at FIGURE > P > IMG. The relevant docs are the HTML Processor 'Breadcrumbs' section, which says breadcrumbs are equivalent to tag names separated by the CSS child combinator and explicitly says array('P','IMG') matches IMG elements directly inside P, plus matches_breadcrumbs(), which says '*' matches a single tag and that '**' for arbitrary depth is intentionally not supported. The gap is that the next_tag() parameter table and initial usage example make the breadcrumbs query look convenient for containment, but they do not put a direct warning or recipe beside the query option for arbitrary-depth ancestor membership.

The DOM-style text recipe and get_modifiable_text() docs also prevented common mistakes by saying to append only #text tokens and by clarifying that #text content is already decoded.

Near-miss: the candidates did not check get_last_error() or paused_at_incomplete_token(), but the docs frame that as caller policy for read-only extraction, and this task expected partial text from an unclosed H1, so omission was appropriate here.",

The main near-miss was Trial 3's misconception that incomplete-input signals require discarding all accumulated read-only results. The rendered HTML Processor overview says read-only extraction may choose a caller policy, but the surrounding mutation/serialization guidance also emphasizes fail-closed handling; a model copied that stricter policy into a task whose contract asked for collected links, including an unclosed link.

Those passages explain why the HTML Processor is needed for browser-like table structure, why `next_token()` sees implied/virtual elements, why a subtree walk should be bounded with `get_current_depth() >= $container_depth`, and why cell text should be accumulated only from `#text` tokens via decoded `get_modifiable_text()`.\n\nNear-misses were around completion policy, not hidden test failures. Trial 1 trusted its own final cleanup instead of the documented closer-driven flush, which can expose partial rows if the parser aborts on unsupported table markup after a cell. Trials 2 and 3 chose to return an empty result on `get_last_error()`, which is a valid caller policy but stricter than ordinary read-only extraction necessarily requires.

The main near-miss was fallback policy: trials 2 and 3 returned the original input after parser failure, even though the serialize_token() section says original input preserves bytes but is neither normalized nor the rewritten output. Trial 3 also shows that the docs make template mutation discoverable, but do not strongly steer simple token-wrapper rewrites toward serialize_token() as the shorter, lower-risk pattern.",
+  "doc_gaps": [
+    {
+      "location": "html-processor.md serialize_token() and create_fragment() return/error guidance",
+      "problem": "The docs explain that returning original input is not normalized, but this warning is separated from create_fragment() null handling and easy to miss when writing string-returning helpers.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a concise fallback table for normalized-output functions: create_fragment() returns null before a rewrite starts; get_last_error() means the rewrite stopped early; returning raw input preserves bytes but violates normalized-output contracts; callers should choose null, empty string, exception, or documented partial output intentionally."
+    },

+      "location": "html-processor.md serialize_token() examples",
+      "problem": "The docs say serialize_token() can emit extra markup around selected tokens, but the example only removes tokens. Subjects still succeeded, but one used a secondary template mutation instead of the direct wrapper pattern.",
+      "suggestion": "Add a general example of a token-by-token rewrite that emits markup before and after selected current tokens, emphasizing that serialize_token() is the normalized representation to wrap and that get_updated_html() is for queued mutations."
+    },
+    {
+      "location": "html-processor.md inherited mutation API cross-references",
+      "problem": "HTML Processor inherits get_updated_html() and set_modifiable_text(), but the normalization-vs-mutation distinction is mostly documented in the Tag Processor page. This can make get_updated_html() look interchangeable with serialize_token() during HTML Processor rewrites.",
+      "suggestion": "In the HTML Processor serialization section, explicitly contrast accumulated serialize_token() output with inherited get_updated_html(): serialize_token() produces normalized token streams; get_updated_html() applies queued edits while preserving untouched source bytes."

That passage also says closing tokens of skipped elements must be skipped too, which prevented the common opener-only failure. The main near-miss is the candidates' get_last_error() fallback. They returned the original input on unsupported markup, apparently following the docs' general fallback-policy guidance, but the same serialize_token() section says original input is neither normalized nor the accumulated rewrite.

 Hypothesis → outcome narrative, one entry per round. Newest first.
 
+## Round 51 — weak-tier calibration still saturated
+
+**Train 99.65 / core 99.59** under `weak-tier-calibration`, with subjects
+`gpt-5.4` / `low` / `priority` and judge `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` /
+`priority`. This was a no-edit calibration on the current source docs after
+round 50, run because the experiment owner asked to move to a weaker testing
+tier before promoting another documentation hypothesis.
+
+Outcome: still too saturated to be the main source-edit driver. All 45
+subject trials passed all hidden cases. The weakest task scores were
+T06-collect-links at 98.50, T05-text-excerpt at 99.00,
+T07-nested-lists at 99.20, T08-table-extract at 99.30,
+T09-mark-keyword at 99.40, and N06-extract-toc at 99.50. Concept means were
+attributes/classes/normalization 100.00, serialization 99.70, traversal 99.56,
+and text 99.17.
+
+The useful signal remains adherence-only: T05/N06 still show occasional
+fail-closed handling of already visited read-only text after
+`paused_at_incomplete_token()` or `get_last_error()`, T06 still varies on
+read-only completion policy, and T09 still shows occasional uncertainty about
+normalized rewrite fallback. None of this justifies a new source docblock edit
+before a less saturated tier is calibrated.
+
+Decision: record round 51 as a no-edit calibration baseline for
+`gpt-5.4` / `low`, but do not use it to promote source documentation. Per the
+subject ladder in `PROTOCOL.md`, step down one more rung.
+
+Next action: commit round-51 results separately, then prepare and run a
+`weak-tier-calibration` round on current docs using `gpt-5.4-mini` / `high` /
+`priority`.

 Next action: run a no-edit `weak-tier-calibration` on current docs with the

+Round 51 supplied that calibration: train 99.65 / core 99.59 with all 45
+subject trials passing hidden cases. This tier is still saturated enough that
+the remaining signal is adherence-only, concentrated in read-only completion

That directly prevented common mistakes such as using the Tag Processor for implied closes, treating markup as text, double-decoding entities, or relying on source-case tag names. The main near-miss was trial-3’s fail-closed handling of paused_at_incomplete_token(): a probe with <h2>Done</h2><!-- shows the heading tokens were already visited and trials 1/2 return the heading, while trial-3 returns an empty array.

The set_attribute() method docs also explain encoding and attribute placement, which prevented the common src/alt order mistake. The set_modifiable_text() docs explain decoded/plaintext input and that ordinary elements like FIGCAPTION do not themselves carry modifiable text, which prevented treating caption HTML as markup. Near-misses: the candidates did not check set_modifiable_text()’s return value even though the method docs recommend it, but the static template and #text guard make that deterministic here. Also, the next_token() method docs contain a stale/confusing sentence saying the Tag Processor currently only supports the tag token, contradicted by the overview and by the documented #text/modifiable-text examples; this did not affect these trials but could mislead future subjects.",

Those passages directly explain the passing behavior for entities-count-decoded, textarea-title-counts-script-style-excluded, script-excluded, interelement-whitespace, and malformed-nesting. Near-misses: trial-2 over-applied completeness checks and would return an empty string for inputs like '<p>abc<span' even though the processor has already visited 'abc'; trial-3 used is_tag_closer() outside an explicit tag-token guard; trial-1 used get_tag() where the docs' text-walk examples prefer get_token_name().

Near-misses were around completion policy rather than API discovery. Trial 3 over-applied paused_at_incomplete_token() as a global failure for read-only extraction, likely influenced by examples that use clean-scan checks for edits. Trials 1 and 2 similarly fail closed on get_last_error(), which is defensible for mutations but can discard already visited read-only data.

The next_token() section’s warning about a single cursor and explicit state likely prevented nested-loop mistakes for repeated rows and cells. Near-misses: trials varied on completion policy, with only trials 1 and 3 checking get_last_error() and none checking paused_at_incomplete_token(); this did not affect the hidden cases but shows the incomplete-input guidance is still easy to treat as optional background rather than an explicit design choice.",

The `next_tag()` docs covered real-tag matching, case-insensitive tag-name queries, comments/raw text not being matched, and incomplete-token behavior. The `add_class()` docs covered both creating a missing class attribute and appending without disturbing existing classes, which explains the existing-class pass.

The only near-misses are explanatory: the successful solution depends on knowing that a delimiter-bearing prefix such as data-track- is a literal prefix match, that lowercase names returned by get_attribute_names_with_prefix() can be passed back to remove_attribute() even when source casing differs, and that removed attributes may leave original spacing behind because untouched bytes are preserved.",

The near-miss is that candidates relied on get_tag() matching both openers and closers without guarding get_token_type(); this is valid and reinforced by the serialize_token() SUP example, but the get_tag() method section itself does not directly demonstrate closer or virtual closer return values.

 Hypothesis → outcome narrative, one entry per round. Newest first.
 
+## Round 52 — mini/high weak-tier calibration still saturated
+
+**Train 99.53 / core 99.46** under `weak-tier-calibration`, with subjects
+`gpt-5.4-mini` / `high` / `priority` and judge `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` /
+`priority`. This was a no-edit calibration on the current source docs,
+staged after the audit tool was taught to follow the weak-tier subject
+ladder. The tooling change affected preflight next-action selection only; the
+rendered docs, source docblocks, corpus, runners, and judge policy were
+unchanged.
+
+Outcome: still saturated. All 45 subject trials passed all hidden cases. The
+round score fell only slightly from round 51, 99.65 -> 99.53. Concept means:
+classes 100.00, text 99.73, attributes 99.73, normalization 99.50,
+traversal 99.52, and serialization 98.75.
+
+The clearest adherence signal moved from read-only text extraction toward
+string-returning normalized rewrites. T09-mark-keyword scored 98.60 and
+T12-unwrap-spans scored 98.90 because candidates still used raw input or
+`normalize( $html )` as generic fallbacks after a `serialize_token()` rewrite
+loop, which discards the accumulated rewrite. Text extraction stayed strong:
+T05 was 99.60, T06 was 99.60, and N06 was 99.20.
+
+Decision: record round 52 as the no-edit baseline for `gpt-5.4-mini` /
+`high`, but do not promote source docs from another saturated calibration.
+Per the subject ladder in `PROTOCOL.md`, step down one final rung before
+choosing a primary weak tier for scratch A/B or source-hypothesis work.
+
+Next action: commit round-52 results separately, then prepare and run a
+`weak-tier-calibration` round on current docs using `gpt-5.4-mini` / `low` /
+`priority`.

The main near-miss is that all candidates implemented a depth-drop state machine rather than the closer-driven repeated-region example. It worked, but the docs could make that equivalent pattern more explicit for read-only extraction over many matching containers.

Near-misses: the task required whole-fragment text, while the main recipe is framed as subtree text; candidates had to generalize it. None checked get_last_error() or paused_at_incomplete_token(), which reflects that the docs present incomplete/unsupported handling as caller policy and the task did not require rejection.

The docs did well at steering subjects to WP_HTML_Processor for structure/text extraction, create_fragment() for body fragments, get_attribute() string|true|null semantics with decoded strings, and get_modifiable_text() only after checking for #text tokens. The strongest supporting passages were the HTML Processor overview, the 'Recipe: collect DOM-style text from a subtree', next_token() notes on virtual closers and one cursor, get_current_depth() depth-bound examples, and get_attribute()/get_modifiable_text() return-value sections. Near-miss: trial-1 used a nested bounded scan in a repeated collection context, where the next_token() documentation also warns against nested loops; it was safe here because the depth guard exits at the A closer, but the distinction between safe subtree scans and unsafe repeated-region nested loops could be easier to recognize.",

Near-miss: all candidates added defensive get_last_error() fallbacks, and two used normalize($html) after a rewrite loop. The serialize_token() docs do warn that normalizing or returning the original input after emitting changes discards the rewrite, but this still looks like an easy pattern for subjects to cargo-cult when the function must return a string.

+## Round 53 — mini/low calibration exhausts weak-tier ladder
+
+**Train 99.51 / core 99.43** under `weak-tier-calibration`, with subjects
+`gpt-5.4-mini` / `low` / `priority` and judge `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` /
+`priority`. This was the final no-edit calibration rung defined in
+`PROTOCOL.md`.
+
+Outcome: the weakest configured subject tier is still functionally saturated.
+All 45 subject trials passed all hidden cases. The round score was essentially
+flat with round 52, 99.53 -> 99.51. Concept means: classes 100.00, traversal
+99.62, normalization 99.60, attributes 99.57, text 99.50, and serialization
+98.85.
+
+The most repeated weaker-tier signal is not a hidden-test failure but an
+adherence pattern around normalized rewrite fallback. T12-unwrap-spans scored
+98.60 and T09-mark-keyword scored 99.10; candidates again used raw input or
+`normalize( $html )` as generic recovery after a `serialize_token()` rewrite
+loop, which discards accumulated insertions/removals/replacements. T05/T06/N06
+read-only extraction remained strong but still showed smaller caller-policy
+near-misses.
+
+Decision: treat `gpt-5.4-mini` / `low` as the selected weak diagnostic tier
+because the ladder is exhausted, even though it remains saturated. Do not
+promote source docs directly from the calibration. The next evidence-building
+step should be a scratch rendered-doc A/B, not a source edit.
+
+Next action: commit round-53 results separately, then run a focused
+`shadow-doc-a/b` diagnostic at `gpt-5.4-mini` / `low` on the serialization
+rewrite tasks, testing a compact generic recipe/card in the HTML Processor
+class docs for string-returning `serialize_token()` rewrites and explicit
+fallback policy.

+Round 53 supplied the final `gpt-5.4-mini` / `low` calibration: train 99.51 /
+core 99.43, with all 45 subject trials still passing hidden cases. The ladder
+is exhausted and still saturated, so use `gpt-5.4-mini` / `low` as the
+selected weak diagnostic tier rather than looking for another model. The
+strongest repeated signal is serialization fallback policy for string-returning
+`serialize_token()` rewrites: T12 scored 98.60 and T09 scored 99.10, again

+`shadow-doc-a/b` diagnostic on T09/T12, and optionally N04 as a normalization

The edge cases around incomplete or unsupported markup were also handled because the docs distinguish structural boundary detection from source completeness. A near-miss is that the paused_at_incomplete_token() method docs say to drain all tokens to answer whether the input ended mid-token; for this region-scoped task, draining past the closed list would incorrectly reject incomplete syntax after the list.

That combination was enough for trials 1 and 2 to implement the reference exactly, including preserving `''` for the empty fragment by checking `null` strictly. Trial 3 was a near-miss in style rather than correctness: it used the documented `create_fragment()` plus `serialize()` path instead of the direct `normalize()` path.

The get_modifiable_text docs state that #text output is already decoded UTF-8 and that get_modifiable_text should not be used as the predicate for ordinary text. Near-misses were minor: trials 1 and 3 added a class_exists guard, and none checked get_last_error/paused_at_incomplete_token, but the docs frame those checks as caller policy for complete-source requirements, not necessary for this read-only extraction contract.",

Those passages likely prevented common failures such as using the Tag Processor for tree-aware text, appending every token with modifiable text, double-decoding entities, missing interelement whitespace, including script/style data, or missing TITLE/TEXTAREA contents. Near-misses: trial-1 over-applied strict incomplete-input handling and would return empty for an input like <p>abc<a where the reference returns accumulated text; the docs allow caller policy here but do not strongly steer read-only extraction toward best-effort unless strict completeness is part of the contract.

Those passages explain the passes on nested inline markup, entity-decoded href/text, image-only links, valueless href exclusion, and unclosed links. The main near-miss is trial-3's untested href='' behavior: it appears to conflate an empty string value with a valueless boolean attribute. The Tag Processor overview does distinguish empty string from true, but WP_HTML_Processor::get_attribute's own method section lacks an empty-string example and decoded-string note, making this easy to miss when using the HTML Processor docs directly.

Near-misses: trial-1 solved ancestry by manually counting structural list openers/closers rather than using breadcrumbs; this is valid with WP_HTML_Processor but easier to get wrong around implied or virtual closers. Trials 2 and 3 inferred the important ancestor-only rule by subtracting the current breadcrumb; a model that simply checked whether UL/OL appeared anywhere in get_breadcrumbs() would mark top-level lists incorrectly.

The near-misses were mostly clarity risks: subjects used both `get_tag()` and `get_token_name()` for tag dispatch, which worked, but the HTML Processor `get_tag()` example still shows `new WP_HTML_Tag_Processor`; none explicitly checked `get_last_error()` or `paused_at_incomplete_token()`, relying on the task's read-only/best-effort contract; and the public rendered docs expose many private parser internals that could tempt weaker models into undocumented calls even though these trials avoided that.",

The `serialize_token()` section and its token-rewrite recipe were especially effective: all candidates used the intended pattern of walking tokens, skipping matched element tokens, and appending normalized serialization.

The unsupported-case `trigger_error` entries in execution.json come from the processor's internal serialization path after unsupported markup; they are not `_doing_it_wrong` records and did not indicate candidate misuse.

The main near-miss is fallback behavior. All candidates treated parser failure as something recoverable with raw input, `normalize($html)`, or partial output; the `serialize_token()` and `normalize()` docs do warn against this, but the warning is policy-oriented enough that subjects still wrote questionable branches.

 Hypothesis → outcome narrative, one entry per round. Newest first.
 
+## Rounds 54/55 — serialization rewrite fallback scratch A/B wins
+
+`round-54` was the control rendered-doc round and `round-55` was a
+scratch-only HTML Processor rendered-doc variant for
+`T09-mark-keyword`, `T12-unwrap-spans`, and the normalization control
+`N04-normalize-or-placeholder`. Both used `shadow-doc-a/b`, subjects
+`gpt-5.4-mini` / `low` / `priority`, and judge `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` /
+`priority`. Source docblocks were unchanged.
+
+Variant: add a compact string-returning rewrite checklist near the
+class-level `serialize_token()` recipe and a method-local wrapper example.
+The key distinctions are: use `get_modifiable_text()` for decoded inspection,
+not for hand-escaped output; use `serialize_token()` to emit the current token;
+the accumulated `$output` is the rewrite; and `normalize( $html )` or raw input
+discard wrappers, skipped tokens, replacements, and other emitted changes.
+
+Numeric result: variant won, **99.53 vs 98.87**. Serialization rose 98.30 ->
+99.55. T09 improved 98.50 -> 99.60, and T12 improved 98.10 -> 99.50. N04
+moved 100.00 -> 99.50 because one variant trial used the lower-level
+`create_fragment()` + `serialize()` path rather than the direct `normalize()`
+helper, but all N04 hidden cases still passed.
+
+Transfer result: the variant eliminated the control's worst T09 pattern:
+decoded `get_modifiable_text()` plus `htmlspecialchars()` as a substitute for
+token serialization. It also reduced T12 fallback-policy penalties. The
+remaining near-miss is narrower: subjects may still use `normalize( $html )`
+or raw input as an explicit abandonment fallback after a parser error.
+
+Interpretation: promotable as an adapted source hypothesis. Keep it generic
+and compact. Promote the class-level checklist and method-local wrapper /
+anti-pattern examples, but avoid suggesting one universal fallback policy for
+all string-returning rewrites.
+
+Next action: commit rounds 54/55 results, then edit
+`src/wp-includes/html-api/class-wp-html-processor.php` to promote one adapted
+serialization rewrite fallback recipe. Run the docs-only guard, stage docs, and
+score the source hypothesis.

+Rounds 54/55 supplied that diagnostic. The scratch-only variant won 99.53 vs
+98.87, raised serialization from 98.30 to 99.55, moved T09 from 98.50 to

The near-miss was trial 2 choosing `create_fragment()` plus `serialize()` instead of `normalize()`. That path is documented and correct, but the class Usage section emphasizes the factory/find/change workflow before the one-shot normalization helper appears much later. Another near-miss is the empty-fragment case: the docs' `string|null` return type implies `''` can be a valid result, but they do not explicitly warn callers to test `null` rather than falsiness, which would have turned the empty string into the fallback.",

That guidance let every trial avoid decoded-vs-raw text pitfalls and attribute-value semantics by never rebuilding text or attributes manually. Near-misses were fallback-policy related: trial 1 returned raw input when construction failed, which would not be normalized, and trial 2 checked get_last_error() but did not choose a distinct error policy.

+## Round 56 — serialization fallback source edit confirmed
+
+**Train 99.61 / core 99.55** under `scored-train`, with subjects
+`gpt-5.4-mini` / `low` / `priority` and judge `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` /
+`priority`. This scored commit `1107adb72d`, which promoted the winning
+rounds-54/55 serialization rewrite fallback card into the
+`WP_HTML_Processor` source docs.
+
+Outcome: keep. All 45 train trials passed all hidden cases. Compared with the
+comparable weak-tier no-edit baseline, round 53, train moved 99.51 -> 99.61 and
+core moved 99.43 -> 99.55. The target serialization concept moved 98.85 ->
+99.35; T09-mark-keyword moved 99.10 -> 99.40; and T12-unwrap-spans moved
+98.60 -> 99.30. No task crossed the revert threshold and no previously passing
+task regressed across all trials.
+
+The source wording transferred the core recipe: candidates used
+`get_modifiable_text()` for decoded inspection and `serialize_token()` for
+emitting rewritten tokens. The residual near-miss is narrower than the promoted
+hypothesis: T09 and T12 candidates still sometimes used
+`normalize( $html ) ?? $html` as an explicit parser-error fallback after a
+rewrite loop. Judges accepted this for the tested inputs but flagged that raw
+input is not a normalized fallback and that `normalize( $html )` abandons
+emitted rewrites.
+
+Decision: keep the source edit. Treat the remaining fallback issue as a future
+diagnostic, not an immediate source edit, because the current weak tier is still
+functionally saturated and the source hypothesis just scored stable.
+
+Next action: commit round-56 results separately, then run a checkpoint with the
+same primary subject tier, `gpt-5.4-mini` / `low` / `priority`, and the same
+judge tier, `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` / `priority`, before promoting another source
+docblock edit.

+Round 56 confirmed that adapted source edit under `scored-train`:

+All 45 subject trials passed hidden cases. Against the comparable weak-tier

The near misses are mostly clarity issues: the docs rely on the `string|null` type to imply that an empty string is a successful normalization, and they do not clearly say that unsupported serialization may also emit an `E_USER_WARNING` while still returning `null`.

The next_tag() method docs covered ASCII case-insensitive tag matching and ignoring tag-like text inside comments/raw text. The get_attribute() docs and overview covered the critical contract: null means absent, empty string means present with empty value, and true means present without a value. The set_attribute() docs covered overwriting existing attributes and placement of newly added attributes after the tag name, explaining the expected output order. The get_updated_html() docs covered returning queued updates while preserving every untouched byte. Near-misses: the task depended heavily on the presence-test idiom null !== get_attribute($name), and although the return semantics were documented, the method could state that idiom more directly.

The next_token() docs explain that text may be split across multiple #text tokens and that walks must be bounded because next_token() otherwise continues to the end of the document. The get_current_depth() docs explain why the guard must be >=, including child closers at the same depth as the ancestor opener. The get_modifiable_text() docs clarify that #text is decoded and that comments/special element opener text should not be treated as ordinary DOM text.

The near miss is trial-3: it passed the hidden cases, but a read-only probe with adjacent anchors showed it returns only the first link for '<a href=\"/1\">one</a><a href=\"/2\">two</a>'. The misconception is that an extra next_token() is needed after a bounded inner walk.

The Breadcrumbs section also gave the key mental model: get_breadcrumbs() returns the open-element stack including implicit HTML/BODY and the current matched node, which trials 1 and 2 handled by slicing off the current list, and trial 3 handled by requiring more than one list breadcrumb. The add_class() and get_updated_html() docs covered the class-preservation and byte-preservation requirements, including the existing-class case. The only near-miss was trial 3's use of next_token() for a tag-only task; the docs make that legal and explain the closer/depth hazards, but a shorter ancestor-filter recipe would likely push future subjects toward next_tag() plus breadcrumbs for this class of mutation.",

Those passages directly prevented the common failures for omitted table closers, markup inside cells, and `&amp;` decoding. Near misses: none of the trials made an explicit policy choice for truncated input or unsupported parser aborts, even though the docs mention `paused_at_incomplete_token()` and `get_last_error()`.

The only near-miss across all candidates is their shared fallback policy.

 Hypothesis → outcome narrative, one entry per round. Newest first.
 
+## Round 57 — checkpoint after serialization fallback source edit
+
+**All 97.90 / train 97.95 / held-out 97.73 / core 97.66** under
+`checkpoint`, with subjects `gpt-5.4-mini` / `low` / `priority` and judge
+`gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` / `priority`. This checkpoint scored the current source
+docs after the round-56 source confirmation.
+
+Operational note: two audit-only tooling commits landed between round 56 and
+this checkpoint to stop the process from blocking on a log-requested checkpoint
+or on expected prepared-round result artifacts. They changed
+`doc-experiment/tools/audit-state.py` only. Source docs, corpus, staging,
+subject runner, judge runner, harness, and aggregation policy were unchanged.
+
+Outcome: keep the round-56 source edit. The train split moved 99.61 -> 97.95
+versus round 56, below the 2-point revert threshold, and no train task
+regressed across all trials. The target serialization tasks stayed stable:
+T09 remained 99.40 and T12 moved 99.30 -> 98.80. Held-out is sentinel-only;
+N02 scored 93.31 because two trials treated a valueless `src` as usable, but
+held-out evidence must not drive source edits.
+
+The largest train dip was T06 at 80.00, caused by one trial with a PHP array-key
+typo; the judge explicitly said this was not an HTML API misconception. The
+strongest train documentation signal is N03 at 94.56: one trial used plain
+`next_tag()` plus `get_current_depth()` as though it could detect a subtree
+boundary, but plain `next_tag()` skips closers by default and can over-scan into
+later incomplete or unsupported markup. Judges pointed to a missing contrast:
+depth-boundary logic only works on a stream that visits the boundary token,
+such as `next_token()` or `next_tag( array( 'tag_closers' => 'visit' ) )`.
+
+Decision: do not revert. Do not edit source directly from held-out N02 or from
+the T06 generic PHP typo. Treat the N03 train failure as the next diagnostic
+candidate.
+
+Next action: commit round-57 results separately, then run a focused
+`shadow-doc-a/b` diagnostic with `gpt-5.4-mini` / `low` / `priority` on N03 and
+nearby traversal controls, testing a compact generic contrast card for
+depth-boundary scans: use `next_token()` or visit closers when the loop relies
+on `get_current_depth()` to leave a subtree; plain `next_tag()` skips closers.

+Round 57 supplied that checkpoint: all 97.90 / train 97.95 / held-out 97.73 /
+core 97.66. Two audit-only tooling commits occurred between round 56 and this
+checkpoint to keep next-action selection autonomous; they did not change source

+98.80. Held-out N02 exposed the valueless-attribute `true`/`''` distinction
+again, but it remains sentinel-only evidence. T06's low trial was a PHP array-key
+typo, not an HTML API misconception. The strongest train documentation signal is
+N03: one trial used plain `next_tag()` plus `get_current_depth()` as a bounded
+subtree scan, forgetting that plain `next_tag()` skips closers and therefore may
+miss the depth boundary. Next action: run a focused `shadow-doc-a/b` diagnostic
+on N03 and nearby traversal controls, testing a compact contrast card that
+states depth-boundary scans must use `next_token()` or
+`next_tag( array( 'tag_closers' => 'visit' ) )`; plain `next_tag()` skips the

The rendered docs did well on the main decision points: the Tag Processor overview explicitly says to use it for flat tag/class/attribute edits with byte-exact preservation; the usage section documents construction with new WP_HTML_Tag_Processor($html); the next_tag() docs and query table show tag_name plus class_name filtering; the class modification overview says remove_class() is safe without checking existence and removes the class attribute when the final class is removed; get_updated_html() is clearly documented as the output method after queued class edits. The main near-miss is class-name case behavior. The successful implementations were robust for the EXTERNAL case because remove_class('external') is exact in normal mode, but the docs are not fully consistent: the $compat_mode property says no-quirks class selectors match byte-for-byte while the has_class() docblock says ASCII case-insensitive, and the next_tag() class_name query parameter does not state the mode-dependent rule.

That misconception maps to WP_HTML_Processor::get_attribute(), whose signature and return text say string|true|null and 'Boolean attributes return true', plus the example where enabled returns true. The Tag Processor docs under Finding tags are clearer about null vs empty string vs true, and the Tag Processor get_attribute() section says decoded string values are returned. The documentation did contain enough information to solve this, but the wording 'Boolean attributes' is easy to misread as applying only to known HTML boolean attributes rather than any syntactically valueless attribute name, including src. The docs did well on the other cases: the 'Which processor should I use?' and HTML Processor overview point users to WP_HTML_Processor for nested structure; the breadcrumbs section explains ancestor paths; next_token() documents virtual closers for malformed/unclosed input; and get_attribute() returning decoded strings prevented entity-decoding mistakes across all trials.",

The get_current_depth() docs explain that the first depth below the opener is the element's own closing token, but trial 1 never visited that closer. It therefore scanned past a complete list into later input, then treated paused_at_incomplete_token() or get_last_error() as proof that the list itself could not be fully scanned. The relevant docs did contain the successful pattern under Usage > Recipe: scan a region before editing its opener, Recipe: test subtree membership and direct children, next_token(), and get_current_depth(); trials 2 and 3 followed it. The gap is that the docs do not explicitly warn that depth-boundary logic only works over visited boundary tokens, so next_tag() without tag_closers => 'visit' can over-scan past the target element and make later document errors look like target-subtree failures.",

That directly led all trials to preserve empty-title versus no-title and to avoid double-decoding entities. The main near-miss is namespace handling. The canonical reference checks get_namespace() === 'html', but the get_modifiable_text() TITLE example in the rendered docs omits that guard. All three trials copied the name-only pattern, which passes the frozen cases but would treat a foreign-content <svg><title>...</title></svg> token as a document-title candidate.

Near-misses: the method-level get_attribute() docs include true/null examples but do not show a present empty attribute returning ''.

The main near-miss is consistency: set_modifiable_text says to always check the return value, but the template examples omit that check.

The malformed-nesting case was also supported by the next_token() documentation explaining implied/virtual closers. Near-misses were outside the HTML API itself: trial-2 added a byte-based substr fallback that would violate Unicode codepoint truncation without mbstring, and trials varied between get_token_name() and get_tag() for matching special element openers because both appear in examples without a concise preference statement for token walks.",

It correctly filters `href` with `is_string()`, uses decoded API-returned text only for `#text` tokens, and benefits from documented virtual closers for unclosed anchors. Minor deductions: the closer handling contains a hard-coded `strcasecmp( 'A', 'A' )`, the stack/text logic is more ad hoc than the documented depth/breadcrumb pattern, and the final `get_last_error()` empty fallback is conservative for a read-only extraction contract."

Cases containing text crash when appending on the `#text` token; the image-only case crashes when flushing the link on the closer; `valueless-href` and `no-links` pass because no string-valued link state is created. This is not an HTML API misconception and no rendered documentation passage caused it. The relevant passages actually point in the right direction: `WP_HTML_Processor::next_token()` explains one-cursor token walking, `#text` accumulation, and virtual closers for malformed input; `get_modifiable_text()` explains decoded text and requiring `get_token_type() === '#text'`; `get_attribute()` documents `string|true|null` semantics, with the decoded-string detail present in the Tag Processor docs.

Near-misses were small: trials 1 and 2 used next_token() where next_tag() was simpler, likely because the docs emphasize token-walking recipes more than a compact 'tag-only ancestor scan' recipe. Only trial 3 checked get_last_error(), and none checked paused_at_incomplete_token(); the task did not require rejecting truncated syntax, but the docs' completion-policy guidance is spread across next_token(), get_current_depth(), and serialization sections, so models may not consistently apply it to get_updated_html()-based mutation filters.",

Near-misses were around documentation noise rather than observed failures: private methods are visible in the rendered docs, next_token() still contains an old 'internal support; do not use' since-note, and read-only policy for incomplete or unsupported input is spread across several sections rather than summarized as a small contract decision.",

The docs also explicitly explain that TITLE/TEXTAREA/SCRIPT/STYLE carry text on opener tokens rather than #text children, which prevented accidental wrapping of special-element contents. The main near-miss is fallback policy: candidates copied a documented but risky normalize($html) ?? $html style in error paths.

The main near-miss is incomplete trailing syntax: trial-1 checked paused_at_incomplete_token() and then returned normalize($html), despite the rewrite docs warning that normalize($html) restarts from original bytes and does not contain skipped tokens. A probe with trailing incomplete syntax showed the accumulated rewrite can be '<p>x</p>' while normalize($html) returns '<p><span>x</span></p>', reintroducing removed markup.

The relevant docs are next_tag()'s parameter table saying tag_closers defaults to skip, Recipe: scan a region before editing its opener, and get_current_depth()'s guidance that bounded subtree walks should use next_token() and stop when depth drops below the opener depth. The missing emphasis is that trailing incomplete syntax after a completed bounded region should not be reached by a region-scoped scan.\n\nFor unsupported-after-closed-list, the same next_tag()-based scan continued into markup after the closed list, hit unsupported HTML, and treated get_last_error() as if unsupported markup occurred inside the list. The HTML Processor overview correctly says unsupported markup aborts processing, and get_last_error() reports that abort, but the docs do not explicitly say that callers should stop scanning at the data-dependency boundary before checking errors for a scoped mutation.

 Hypothesis → outcome narrative, one entry per round. Newest first.
 
+## Rounds 58/59 — depth-boundary closer-card scratch A/B loses
+
+`round-58` was the control rendered-doc round and `round-59` was a
+scratch-only HTML Processor rendered-doc variant for
+`N03-first-list-count`, `T07-nested-lists`, and `T08-table-extract`. Both used
+`shadow-doc-a/b`, subjects `gpt-5.4-mini` / `low` / `priority`, and judge
+`gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` / `priority`. Source docblocks were unchanged.
+
+Variant: add compact class-level and method-local contrast wording stating
+that depth-boundary scans must visit the boundary token: use `next_token()`, or
+use `next_tag( array( 'tag_closers' => 'visit' ) )` for tag-only scans because
+plain `next_tag()` skips closers.
+
+Numeric result: variant lost, **90.74 vs 97.35**. N03 fell 93.66 -> 76.51,
+T07 fell 99.40 -> 96.30, and T08 rose 99.00 -> 99.40. The N03 target pattern
+improved in one trial, which used `tag_closers => 'visit'` and scored 100, but
+another trial still skipped the boundary because it checked `is_tag_closer()`
+before checking whether depth had dropped below the recorded list depth. A
+third N03 trial introduced a separate bookmark misuse, calling `seek()` for a
+bookmark that was never set and then reparsing.
+
+Interpretation: do not promote the closer-card wording. The failure mode is
+more precise than the tested wording: weaker subjects need a full generic
+bounded-subtree loop where the first operation after advancing is
+`get_current_depth() < $container_depth` break, followed only then by token
+type, closer, tag-name, and direct-child predicates. Judges also identified two
+separate candidates: `seek()` should make the set-bookmark precondition and
+unknown-name behavior explicit, and clean-scan checks should be scoped to the
+caller's promised region rather than automatically treating malformed trailing
+markup after a closed target subtree as invalid.
+
+Next action: commit round-59 results separately, then do not edit source from
+this losing variant. If continuing the traversal hypothesis, run a new
+scratch-rendered A/B with subjects `gpt-5.4-mini` / `low` / `priority`, judge
+`gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` / `priority`, the same traversal subset, a complete
+bounded-loop recipe, and separate regional completion wording; keep the
+bookmark `seek()` precondition as its own method-local diagnostic or small
+source candidate only after evidence confirms it is not one-off sampling noise.

 ## Current read
 
+Latest update: rounds 58/59 tested the weak-tier traversal-boundary scratch
+A/B requested after the round-57 checkpoint. The variant lost badly
+(90.74 vs 97.35), so do not promote the compact
+"plain `next_tag()` skips closers" card. It helped one N03 trial use
+`tag_closers => 'visit'`, but another trial still checked
+`is_tag_closer()` before the depth-boundary break, and a third trial exposed a
+separate `seek()`/bookmark precondition gap. The next traversal diagnostic, if
+pursued, should be a new scratch rendered-doc A/B with subjects
+`gpt-5.4-mini` / `low` / `priority`, judge `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` / `priority`,
+the same traversal subset, and a complete bounded-subtree loop whose first
+check after advancing is `get_current_depth() < $container_depth`, followed by
+token/closer/name filters, plus explicit regional completion wording. Treat
+`seek()` unknown bookmark behavior as a separate method-local candidate; do
+not combine it into the failed closer-card promotion.
+
 Round 17 was a no-edit hold round on the previous active corpus and scored
 98.93 on train. After that hold round, several active tasks were intentionally
 replaced or tightened: N03, N04, N06, T07, T11, H04, plus smaller prompt or

The docs' Bookmarks recipe says to set a bookmark before seeking, but the seek() reference says it returns bool for whether movement succeeded without explicitly stating the precondition or missing-name behavior; that can be read as a safe false-return probe.\n\nFailed cases incomplete-token-after-closed-list and unsupported-after-closed-list failed in trial-1 for the same bogus seek() call. They failed in trial-3 because the candidate checked is_tag_closer() before checking whether get_current_depth() had dropped below the recorded list depth.

The relevant docs are the next_token(), get_current_depth(), and Recipe: test subtree membership and direct children sections; they explain the boundary rule, but the direct-child predicate is separate from a full loop and does not strongly warn that the depth-boundary check must run before any continue for closers or non-child tokens.\n\nThe docs did well on the biggest choice: all trials picked WP_HTML_Processor rather than WP_HTML_Tag_Processor, and two trials used bookmark/edit/get_updated_html patterns. The near miss is regional completion: subjects need to distinguish 'the bounded subtree was scanned cleanly' from 'the rest of the document was scanned cleanly.'",

The Breadcrumbs section gave enough information for Trial 2 to detect list ancestors, and the class/get_updated_html docs supported preserving existing class values and untouched bytes. Near misses: Trial 1 used a manual stack instead of the simpler get_breadcrumbs() ancestor check, suggesting the docs could make arbitrary-ancestor checks more obvious.

The docs' Bookmarks recipe says to set a bookmark before seeking, but the seek() reference says it returns bool for whether movement succeeded without explicitly stating the precondition or missing-name behavior; that can be read as a safe false-return probe.\n\nFailed cases incomplete-token-after-closed-list and unsupported-after-closed-list failed in trial-1 for the same bogus seek() call. They failed in trial-3 because the candidate checked is_tag_closer() before checking whether get_current_depth() had dropped below the recorded list depth. The list closer is the boundary token, so skipping closers made the scan continue past the closed list and let later incomplete/unsupported markup poison the clean-scan check. The relevant docs are the next_token(), get_current_depth(), and Recipe: test subtree membership and direct children sections; they explain the boundary rule, but the direct-child predicate is separate from a full loop and does not strongly warn that the depth-boundary check must run before any continue for closers or non-child tokens.\n\nThe docs did well on the biggest choice: all trials picked WP_HTML_Processor rather than WP_HTML_Tag_Processor, and two trials used bookmark/edit/get_updated_html patterns. The near miss is regional completion: subjects need to distinguish 'the bounded subtree was scanned cleanly' from 'the rest of the document was scanned cleanly.'",

 Hypothesis → outcome narrative, one entry per round. Newest first.
 
+## Round 60 — bounded-loop scratch A/B also loses
+
+`round-60` was a second scratch-only HTML Processor rendered-doc variant for
+the same traversal subset as round 58/59:
+`N03-first-list-count`, `T07-nested-lists`, and `T08-table-extract`. It used
+`shadow-doc-a/b`, subjects `gpt-5.4-mini` / `low` / `priority`, and judge
+`gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` / `priority`. Source docblocks were unchanged.
+
+Variant: replace the failed closer contrast with a full generic bounded-loop
+recipe. The loop checked `get_current_depth() < $container_depth` immediately
+after advancing and before token-type, closer, and direct-child filters. It
+also added regional completion wording: do not drain to EOF solely to reject
+trailing malformed input unless the caller requires whole-document
+completeness.
+
+Numeric result: variant lost, **90.18 vs the round-58 control 97.35**. N03
+improved only 93.66 -> 94.26: two trials followed the intended `next_token()`
+bounded-loop shape, but one still used plain `next_tag()` and over-scanned past
+the list into trailing malformed input. T07 fell 99.40 -> 98.60. T08 collapsed
+99.00 -> 77.68 because one trial misapplied the repeated-region state-machine
+guidance and manufactured empty cells by flushing a null child accumulator and
+pre-flushing on sibling openers instead of trusting the processor's virtual
+closers.
+
+Interpretation: do not promote. Two adjacent traversal A/B variants have now
+failed to beat the control. The N03 issue is real but the tested generic
+recipes are not an improvement as rendered; they add enough state-machine
+surface area to hurt T08. Treat the T08 hierarchical-state notes as
+variant-induced evidence only, not a source-edit driver by themselves. The
+remaining repeated signals are method-local discoverability questions:
+whether subjects can cite that plain `next_tag()` is not a subtree-boundary
+detector, whether completion checks are scoped to the promised bounded region,
+and whether breadcrumbs should be sliced before ancestor checks.
+
+Next action: commit round-60 results separately, then prepare a
+`discoverability-probe` round on current source docs with subjects
+`gpt-5.4-mini` / `low` / `priority`. Probe the method-local contracts above
+with citation-only questions before any further traversal source edit or
+scratch A/B. Keep `seek()` unknown-bookmark behavior as a separate candidate
+unless it repeats outside the losing round-59 sample.

 ## Current read
 
-Latest update: rounds 58/59 tested the weak-tier traversal-boundary scratch
-A/B requested after the round-57 checkpoint. The variant lost badly
-(90.74 vs 97.35), so do not promote the compact
-"plain `next_tag()` skips closers" card. It helped one N03 trial use
-`tag_closers => 'visit'`, but another trial still checked
-`is_tag_closer()` before the depth-boundary break, and a third trial exposed a
-separate `seek()`/bookmark precondition gap. The next traversal diagnostic, if
-pursued, should be a new scratch rendered-doc A/B with subjects
-`gpt-5.4-mini` / `low` / `priority`, judge `gpt-5.5` / `xhigh` / `priority`,
-the same traversal subset, and a complete bounded-subtree loop whose first
-check after advancing is `get_current_depth() < $container_depth`, followed by
-token/closer/name filters, plus explicit regional completion wording. Treat
-`seek()` unknown bookmark behavior as a separate method-local candidate; do
-not combine it into the failed closer-card promotion.
+Latest update: rounds 58/59 and 60 tested two weak-tier traversal-boundary
+scratch A/B variants against the round-58 control. Both lost: the compact
+closer card scored 90.74 vs 97.35, and the full bounded-loop/regional
+completion recipe scored 90.18 vs 97.35. Do not promote either traversal
+variant. Round 60 moved N03 only 93.66 -> 94.26 while causing a T08
+state-machine collapse, so more generic class-level traversal prose is not
+currently justified.
+
+Next action: prepare a `discoverability-probe` round on current source docs
+with subjects `gpt-5.4-mini` / `low` / `priority` and citation-only questions
+for the remaining method-local contracts: plain `next_tag()` is not a
+subtree-boundary detector unless closers are visited; completion checks after a
+bounded region scan should not force an EOF drain for unrelated suffix markup
+unless whole-document completeness is required; and breadcrumbs include the
+current node, so ancestor checks should slice it off. Treat `seek()` unknown
+bookmark behavior as a separate candidate unless it repeats outside the losing
+round-59 sample.

The rendered docs did contain the needed guidance under 'Recipe: test subtree membership and direct children' and next_token(): bounded scans must stop on depth drop, and completion checks should describe the region actually scanned; they also explicitly say not to continue to end just to find trailing incomplete input unless the contract requires the whole document. For unsupported-after-closed-list, the same boundary mistake caused trial-1 to encounter unsupported markup after the closed list and let get_last_error() invalidate the edit. The 'HTML Support / Unsupported Features' section explains that unsupported markup aborts processing, but the region-scoped meaning of get_last_error() after a bounded scan is only emphasized in overview recipes, not strongly in the next_tag()/get_last_error() method docs.

Text extraction itself was correct; the extra empty strings came from state handling. Trial-2 failed omitted-closers because it overcompensated for malformed table markup: WP_HTML_Processor::next_token() already emits virtual TD/TR closers, so pre-flushing on the next opener double-counted. Trial-2 failed empty-cells because it did not preserve the distinction between outside a cell (null) and inside an empty cell (''). The relevant documentation is the WP_HTML_Processor::next_token() repeated-region section and its closer-driven flush paragraph.

The rendered docs did contain the needed guidance under 'Recipe: test subtree membership and direct children' and next_token(): bounded scans must stop on depth drop, and completion checks should describe the region actually scanned; they also explicitly say not to continue to end just to find trailing incomplete input unless the contract requires the whole document. For unsupported-after-closed-list, the same boundary mistake caused trial-1 to encounter unsupported markup after the closed list and let get_last_error() invalidate the edit. The 'HTML Support / Unsupported Features' section explains that unsupported markup aborts processing, but the region-scoped meaning of get_last_error() after a bounded scan is only emphasized in overview recipes, not strongly in the next_tag()/get_last_error() method docs.

Trial 1 used a magic breadcrumbs count threshold, and trial 3 counted the current element as part of the list count; both show that models understood breadcrumbs but had to infer the exact ancestor-only idiom.",

 Hypothesis → outcome narrative, one entry per round. Newest first.
 
+## Round 61 — citation probes find facts discoverable
+
+`round-61` staged current rendered source docs under `discoverability-probe`
+with subjects `gpt-5.4-mini` / `low` / `priority`. No source docblocks,
+scratch docs, corpus fixtures, or scoring harness behavior changed.
+
+Four citation-only probes ran against the method-local contracts surfaced by
+rounds 58-60:
+
+- `next-tag-boundary-detector`: 3/3 subjects answered that plain `next_tag()`
+  is not the subtree-boundary traversal and cited `next_token()`,
+  `get_current_depth()`, and `next_tag()` headings.
+- `bounded-region-completion-scope`: 3/3 subjects answered that the docs do
+  not require draining to EOF after a bounded region scan just to find unrelated
+  trailing malformed input. Subjects also noted that a more explicit
+  trailing-suffix sentence is missing.
+- `breadcrumbs-ancestor-check`: 3/3 subjects answered that breadcrumbs include
+  the current node and that breadcrumb queries are DOM path/sub-path checks, not
+  arbitrary ancestor-set checks. Subjects inferred slicing off the current node,
+  but noted the docs do not show that exact ancestor-only idiom.
+- `html-processor-factory-lifecycle`: 3/3 subjects answered that callers should
+  use `create_fragment()` or `create_full_parser()` and should not instantiate
+  `WP_HTML_Processor` directly. The docs do not spell out a runtime consequence
+  beyond the do-not-use constructor warning.
+
+Interpretation: do not promote a traversal or factory source edit from these
+signals. The facts are discoverable when weak subjects are asked directly, and
+two transfer-oriented traversal A/B variants already lost. The remaining gaps
+are placement/transfer or task-reasoning issues, not clear missing contracts.
+
+Next action: stop the traversal/factory diagnostic line unless a future trusted
+scored train round repeats one of these failures. Before any source docblock
+edit, re-analyze trusted full-round train evidence for a separate non-traversal
+hypothesis; if no non-held-out, non-noise train pattern remains, pause per the
+protocol's signal-exhaustion rule rather than adding speculative prose.
