Pre-build acceptance observation

• GREEN (prepassed): cli-documentation-content (FEATURE-CLI-DOCUMENTATION.md)

intent: README.md documents the standard-input and standard-output interface. return code: 0

• GREEN (prepassed): cli-documentation-verification (FEATURE-CLI-DOCUMENTATION.md)

intent: README.md documents the required complete-suite invocation. return code: 0

Post-build programmatic acceptance

• PASS: cli-documentation-content (FEATURE-CLI-DOCUMENTATION.md)

Agent self-report (advisory)

The build agent declared a failure. This is advisory only; the programmatic acceptance above is the authority for this block's outcome.

• summary: Full CommonMark conformance suite fails in existing parser implementation.
• detail:

The requested documentation acceptance checks pass, but sh full_test.sh reports multiple parser mismatches unrelated to README.md. Fix the parser behaviors before rerunning the complete build.

Build summary

<reusable-compact filename="ARCHITECTURE.md"> CommonMark is a Python 3 CLI parser that reads UTF-8 Markdown from standard input, parses blocks before inlines, and writes CommonMark 0.31.2 HTML to standard output. Runtime boundaries are cmark, parser, renderer, and full_test.sh; no public Markdown implementation or third-party dependencies are used. </reusable-compact>

RESULT: FAILED

FILES CHANGED:

• README.md
• test_documentation.py

SUMMARY: Updated README documentation and added focused acceptance tests. Documentation checks pass; the full conformance suite remains failing on existing parser behavior.

BLOCKERS:

• sh full_test.sh fails on parser cases including tabs, escapes, entities, and thematic breaks.

FAILURE_SUMMARY: Full CommonMark conformance suite fails in existing parser implementation.
FAILURE_DETAIL: The requested documentation acceptance checks pass, but sh full_test.sh reports multiple parser mismatches unrelated to README.md. Fix the parser behaviors before rerunning the complete build.
