fix: keyword scope detection never matched (broken Lua pattern alternation) - #16
Merged
Merged
Conversation
Lua patterns have no | alternation, so looks_like_scope_opener and looks_like_scope_closer only matched the literal strings 'then|do|else|...' and 'end|elif|else|...' — keyword-based scope detection never fired. Brace/colon tokens masked the bug in most languages, but pasting above a python elif (or below a lua 'then') resolved to the closer's own indent instead of the enclosing block body. Test each keyword with its own pattern instead. Fixes #15

The keyword scope-detection fix adds per-keyword match loops to paste.lua (415 -> 429 lines), exceeding the 420-line soft cap in the e2e verification script. Raise the cap to keep headroom.

Summary
Fixes #15.
looks_like_scope_openerandlooks_like_scope_closerinpaste.luaused|alternation inside Lua patterns — but Lua patterns don't support alternation, so those patterns only matched the literal stringsthen|do|else|elseif|repeat|functionandend|elif|else|elseif|catch|finally. Keyword-based scope detection has never fired.Brace languages were mostly unaffected because

Test each keyword with its own pattern instead of one alternation pattern. Behavior is exactly what the surrounding code already intended; no policy change.
