Update public-boundary expectations after the explicit XML unknown-scalar
and native UI deadline provenance changes. Retain raw malformed literals,
independent exact integers, expanded-year ISO dates, and partial UI reports.
Assert successful cleanup releases its lease and failed cleanup retains it
until close retries. Keep malformed-input and true date-range coverage.
The shared number fixture owns CLI/filesystem/MCP expectations. Native
plutil controls confirm integer entities are invalid plist literals, even
though they are valid XML. No runtime behavior or CI gates change.
Validation: 187 source cases, 138 focused public cases, final 97-case
rerun after fixture typing/group changes, full static/architecture checks,
and test discovery (1591 files).
Move plist projection into the graph owner and identify generated scalar
wrappers by producer identity through every dictionary/UID consumer. Remove
the intermediate JSON clone that erased those facts. Literal wrapper-shaped
dictionaries remain dictionaries; scalar $top values fail as malformed.
Keep numeric projection after graph interpretation, preserve unknown counts,
and retain binary prototype-key partial facts with an explicit limitation.
Adapt @Jax367's relevant scalar proposal and public regression from PR #4317.
Add scalar-root, literal-root and binary prototype controls. Correct only
the captured Foundation data node expectation and its manifest digest;
original producer bytes and source are unchanged. Unrelated PR changes excluded.
Validation: 175 focused checks across 23 files pass, one skipped; build,
check:fast and docs:check pass. Public CLI and stdio MCP cover both encodings.
Baseline scalar controls fail; 24 tiny completed CLI cost comparisons retain
ordinary full replies and Evidence IDs byte for byte. No statistical speed
claim, heavy profiling, target execution or real deep-provider verification.
Fixes#4295Fixes#4785
plutil writes years past 9999 and negative years in a form the pinned
XML decoder cannot parse, and binary plists can hold dates outside the
JavaScript Date range. The decoder returns an Invalid Date. Its
projection's toISOString() call then threw, so inspect_plist failed the
whole plist as "unreadable_output" with a `rea doctor` remediation.
Keyed archive inspection and Interface Builder decoding rejected the
archive in the same way.
projectPlistValue, the shared projection, now reports such a date as
{ "$plist_type": "date", "iso8601": null } and counts it. inspect_plist,
keyed archive inspection and Interface Builder decoding each add a
counted limitation, as they already do for non-finite reals.
