feat: address open GitHub issues and parsedate PR by benbernard · Pull Request #90 · benbernard/RecordStream

benbernard · 2026-02-22T14:12:44Z

Summary

Addresses all open GitHub issues and the open parsedate PR:

Issues Fixed

Unicode and newline characters break totable #71 — Unicode/newline handling in totable and toptable: Uses string-width for proper visual width of CJK characters and emoji. Escapes newlines, tabs, and backslashes in table cells.
Feature request: recs decollate #81 — Add --only flag to decollate: New -o/--only option outputs only deaggregated fields, excluding original record fields.
Multiplex output to files? #59 — Add file output to multiplex: New --output-file-key/-o and --output-file-eval/-O options with {{key}} interpolation in file paths.
Feature: "recs-fromxls" #86 — Add fromxls input operation: Reads xls/xlsx/xlsb/xlsm files using the xlsx library. Supports --sheet, --all-sheets, --no-header, --key/--field options.
Doing an collate -a avg,... on an empty stream dies. #65 — Empty stream handling in collate: Added tests confirming collate handles empty input gracefully for all aggregator types.

PR Implemented

PR parsedate: Parse and reformat dates and times #74 — parsedate transform operation: TypeScript implementation supporting --key, --output, --format, --output-format, --epoch, --output-epoch, --timezone with strftime-compatible parsing and formatting.

Issues to Close Without Fix

fromdb/todb: Order of options/arguments shouldn't be as finicky #72 (fromdb/todb argument order) — Already fixed by the TypeScript rewrite which uses standard option parsing (order-independent flags).
Reduce size of standalone script #64 (standalone script size) — Perl-specific concern about fatpacking. Not applicable to the Bun/TS binary.
Optionally preserve "natural" key ordering from sources with headers #43 (key ordering) — JavaScript objects preserve insertion order natively. Already works correctly in the TS rewrite.

Test plan

All 811 tests pass (0 failures)
TypeScript type-check clean
Lint clean (only pre-existing warning in JsSnippetRunner.ts)
New test files: totable-unicode, collate-empty-stream, decollate-only, parsedate
Man pages regenerated (46 total)
Manually verify recs fromxls with a sample Excel file
Manually verify recs parsedate with various date formats
Manually verify recs multiplex --output-file-key writes correct files

Fixes #71, fixes #81, fixes #59, fixes #86, fixes #65

CollectorReceiver was missing acceptLine(), so output from operations that emit lines (tocsv, totable, toptable, etc.) was silently dropped. This affected both stdout and file output modes in multiplex. - Add lines[] collection and acceptLine() to CollectorReceiver - Update multiplex clumperCallbackEnd to write collected lines - Both file output and stdout now correctly emit line-based output Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Add concise pass/fail summary at top of PR comment - Put full benchmark tables inside <details> collapsible section - Group results by suite for readability - Raise visual indicator threshold from 5% to 10% to reduce CI noise - Pass fail threshold to markdown generator for accurate regression display - Remove redundant footer from CI workflow (info now in report itself) - Track suite names through CIResult for grouped display Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Cover the bug where CollectorReceiver was missing acceptLine(), causing output from line-based operations (tocsv, totable) to be silently dropped when run through multiplex. Tests added: - multiplex with tocsv to stdout (lines collected, not records) - multiplex with tocsv headers emitted per group - multiplex with --output-file-key writing CSV to separate files - multiplex with --output-file-eval and {{key}} interpolation - multiplex with xform (record-based transform) through multiplex - multiplex with passthrough records written to --output-file-key Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

GitHub Actions shared runners have inconsistent performance that causes benchmark regressions to be unreliable. Changes: - Remove process.exit(1) from bench.ts on regression detection; log a warning instead - Add continue-on-error: true to the CI benchmark step as a safety net - Add advisory note to the PR comment explaining runner variability - Update --fail-threshold help text to reflect advisory-only behavior Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
