# FEATURE: Arrays of Tables

| Field       | Value |
|-------------|-------|
| Version     | 20260814 V1 |
| Description | Defines ordered TOML arrays of tables and nested table elements. |
| Depends On  | FEATURE-Standard-Tables.md, FEATURE-Key-Forms.md, FEATURE-Arrays.md |
| Provides    | TOML arrays of tables |
| Consumes    | TOML standard tables, TOML key paths, TOML arrays |

## Questions

- None.

## Purpose

The parser recognizes `[[table]]` headers and creates ordered table elements. Each subsequent key/value pair applies to the newest element. Nested standard tables and nested arrays of tables target the current enclosing element.

## Behavior

- The first array-of-table header creates an array and its first table element.
- Repeated headers append elements in source order.
- Empty elements remain represented as empty objects.
- Nested tables and nested arrays of tables attach to the current element.
- Array elements retain their document order.
- Parsed values use the tagged JSON representation defined by `ARCHITECTURE.md`.

## Programmatic Acceptance

Requires: executable=go; scope=test
Requires: executable=sh; scope=test

=== AC arrays-of-tables-conformance ===
Intent: The implementation passes the authoritative TOML table conformance slice owned by this story.
Suite: scoped

)
print(result.stdout)
print(result.stderr, file=__import__("sys").stderr)
assert result.returncode == 0
=== END AC arrays-of-tables-conformance ===

=== AC arrays-of-tables-build ===
Intent: The decoder builds successfully after array-of-table support is implemented.

result = subprocess.run(["go", "build", "./cmd/toml-decoder"], capture_output=True, text=True)
print(result.stdout)
print(result.stderr, file=__import__("sys").stderr)
assert result.returncode == 0
=== END AC arrays-of-tables-build ===

## User Acceptance

- None.

## Guardrails

- The parser preserves array-of-table element order.
- The parser does not replace an array element with a later element.

# FEATURE: Arrays of Tables Ordering

| Field       | Value |
|-------------|-------|
| Version     | 20260814 V1 |
| Description | Rejects invalid ordering and structural conflicts involving TOML arrays of tables. |
| Depends On  | FEATURE-Arrays-of-Tables.md, FEATURE-Table-Redefinition.md |
| Provides    | array-of-table ordering validation |
| Consumes    | TOML arrays of tables, table-definition validation |

## Questions

- None.

## Purpose

The parser enforces TOML 1.0.0 ordering and conflict rules for arrays of tables.

## Behavior

- A child table or child array cannot precede creation of its parent array element.
- A statically defined array cannot later be extended with an array-of-table header.
- An array of tables cannot be redefined as a normal table.
- A normal table cannot be redefined as an array of tables.
- Conflicting nested table and array-of-table declarations are rejected.
- Invalid documents produce a non-zero decoder exit status.

## Programmatic Acceptance

Requires: executable=go; scope=test
Requires: executable=sh; scope=test

=== AC arrays-of-tables-ordering-conformance ===
Intent: The implementation rejects the authoritative invalid table-ordering and conflict cases.
Suite: scoped

import os
import subprocess
import sys

result = subprocess.run(
    ["sh", "sources/stage_test.sh", "invalid/table/*"],
    capture_output=True,
    text=True,
    env={**os.environ, "TOML_TEST_VERSION": "v2.2.0"},
)
print(result.stdout)
print(result.stderr, file=sys.stderr)
assert result.returncode == 0
=== END AC arrays-of-tables-ordering-conformance ===

=== AC arrays-of-tables-ordering-exit ===
Intent: An invalid array-of-table ordering document exits unsuccessfully.

source = "[fruit.physical]\ncolor = \"red\"\n[[fruit]]\nname = \"apple\"\n"
result = subprocess.run(
    ["go", "run", "./cmd/toml-decoder"],
    input=source,
    capture_output=True,
    text=True,
)
assert result.returncode != 0
=== END AC arrays-of-tables-ordering-exit ===

## User Acceptance

- None.

## Guardrails

- The parser rejects invalid ordering rather than assigning ambiguous parent elements.
- The parser does not silently reinterpret conflicting table kinds.

# FEATURE: Complete TOML Conformance

| Field       | Value |
|-------------|-------|
| Version     | 20260814 V1 |
| Description | Verifies the completed decoder against the pinned TOML 1.0.0 conformance suite. |
| Depends On  | FEATURE-Decoder-Invalid-Input.md, FEATURE-Tagged-JSON.md, FEATURE-Lexical-Strings.md, FEATURE-Lexical-Numbers.md, FEATURE-Lexical-Datetime.md, FEATURE-Lexical-Whitespace-Comments.md, FEATURE-Key-Forms.md, FEATURE-Key-Semantics.md, FEATURE-Arrays.md, FEATURE-Inline-Tables.md, FEATURE-Inline-Table-Closure.md, FEATURE-Standard-Tables.md, FEATURE-Table-Redefinition.md, FEATURE-Arrays-of-Tables.md, FEATURE-Arrays-of-Tables-Ordering.md |
| Provides    | complete TOML 1.0.0 conformance verdict |
| Consumes    | cmd/toml-decoder, TOML parser |

## Questions

- None.

## Purpose

The completed Go decoder passes every valid and invalid case in the installed `toml-test` v2.2.0 TOML 1.0 suite.

## Verification

The supplied `sources/full_test.sh` builds `cmd/toml-decoder`, invokes the pinned harness without filters, and uses the harness exit status as the acceptance verdict. The supplied scoring assets remain unchanged.

## Programmatic Acceptance

Requires: executable=go; scope=test
Requires: executable=sh; scope=test

=== AC complete-conformance ===
Intent: The completed decoder passes the complete pinned TOML 1.0.0 conformance suite.

    capture_output=True,

)
print(result.stdout)
print(result.stderr, file=sys.stderr)
assert result.returncode == 0
=== END AC complete-conformance ===

## User Acceptance

- None.

## Guardrails

- The full suite runs unfiltered.
- The harness exit status is the sole acceptance verdict.
- The supplied scoring scripts are not modified.
