Fixes #540

Change

ascii85Decode checked for uint32 overflow only when a group had five characters. Short tail groups (2 to 4 characters) are padded with u to five digits before decoding, and the padded value can exceed 0xFFFFFFFF. The >>> 0 then wrapped it silently and produced wrong bytes. The overflow check now runs for every group and returns null for such input, and the >>> 0 wrap is removed because it is no longer needed.

Regression tests are in lib/utils/ascii85.test.ts. They cover one valid full group (<~9jqo^~> decodes to the four bytes Man ) and the three overflow inputs from the issue (<~uu~>, <~uuu~>, <~uuuu~>).

Design choice

The issue proposes rejecting these inputs. The alternative is to decode the tail with the wrapped value. I chose rejection because the issue's arithmetic shows the wrapped bytes are meaningless. If the maintainer prefers a different behaviour for truncated input, the alternative is to skip only the overflowing tail and keep the earlier output.

Test results

Before the fix (new test file, npx jest lib/utils/ascii85.test.ts --coverage=false): 3 failed, 1 passed. The three failures are the overflow inputs, which decoded to [8], [8, 120] and [8, 120, 14].

After the fix (npx jest lib/utils/ascii85.test.ts lib/utils/miam.test.ts --coverage=false): 2 suites passed, 7 tests passed.

Not verified: the full test suite and make lint. Lint on the touched files reports CRLF prettier/prettier errors because this Windows checkout uses core.autocrlf. The same errors appear on untouched files such as lib/utils/miam.ts.

Walkthrough

ascii85Decode now rejects padded short-tail groups when their decoded values exceed uint32. Tests cover full-group decoding and rejection of overflowing tails.

Changes

ASCII85 overflow validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Validate decoded group values lib/utils/ascii85.ts, lib/utils/ascii85.test.ts	The overflow check now applies to full groups and padded short tails. The decoder returns null when a decoded value exceeds 0xffffffff. Tests cover successful full-group decoding and rejection of overflowing tails.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #540 requires ascii85Decode to avoid silent uint32 wrapping for 2–4 character tail groups. The change applies the overflow check to every decoded group, removes the >>> 0 value wrap, and returns null for overflowing padded tails. lib/utils/ascii85.test.ts verifies the valid full group and all three issue inputs: <~uu~>, <~uuu~>, and <~uuuu~>.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within issue #540. The source change modifies only the affected overflow behavior, and the added tests cover the requested valid and overflowing ASCII85 cases. No unrelated product behavior or files are changed.
