Preserve what PT9 actually persists so approval state and legacy attributes survive a parse: - VerseData.Hash is optional: PT9 writes it only on verse approval, so absence is the not-approved state (previously coalesced to ''). - InterlinearData.ScrTextName is optional: legacy attribute, absent when the file lacks it. - LexemeData.SenseId is optional: absent when a Lexeme has no GlossId; an empty attribute value stays ''. - PunctuationData.TextRange is optional: Punctuation entries without a valid Range are kept rangeless instead of dropped. Update pt9-xml.md to match and point it at the parser module for the output types instead of interlinearizer.d.ts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Approving on correctness — no functional bugs found. Verified locally on the branch: tsc --noEmit clean, full suite 63/63 and 1784 tests passing, parser at 100% across stmts/branch/funcs/lines, and npm run lint clean apart from pre-existing errors in the git-excluded perf-harness/.

I checked each semantic claim in this PR against the Paratext source (master @ 75f1284e25) rather than taking the descriptions on trust. Three hold, one I'd like to ask about:
Hash— confirmed, emphatically.ParatextData/Interlinear/VerseData.cs:16-20says "If null, verse has not been approved" in as many words; PT9's own predicate isHash != null(:50) andMergeWithwritesHash = nullto force re-approval (InterlinearData.cs:174,180).Hash=""is unreachable —ComputeHash→FindHashHex(s, 8)always returns exactly 8 hex characters. SoHash !== undefinedis a one-for-one match with PT9.ScrTextName— confirmed, and stronger than stated. The C#InterlinearDataclass has no such member at all; it was removed on 2020-10-07 in426368fb0b(PTX-20541). Only pre-2020 migration fixtures still carry the attribute.- Punctuation
Range— confirmed, with a bonus.StringRangeis a struct (PtxUtils/StringRange.cs:8), so a missing<Range>really does read as(0, 0). It also means PT9 always writes a<Range>, so a rangeless<Punctuation>isn't PT9-producible — which makes "preserve, don't fabricate" clearly right. SenseId— I can't find the distinction in PT9. The description says absence "separates 'no sense selected' from a selected-but-empty gloss", but PT9 treatsnulland""identically in both places it reads the field (InterlinearData.cs:117and:241). Keeping the distinction is still right; I've asked inline whether there's a source for the stronger claim, since that's what the import would be built on.
Two things I also checked, since they're what would make this risky:
- No downstream consumers exist yet. Nothing outside the parser and its test imports
InterlinearData/VerseData/PunctuationData/LexemeData, so widening four fields to optional can't break a caller today. This is the right moment to do it. - Both absence premises hold against real data.
test-data/Interlinear_en_MAT.xmlcarries noScrTextName, and mixes 6 hashed<VerseData Hash="…">against 6 hash-free<VerseData>that still have clusters, plus 24 empty<VerseData />.
Also worth saying: ...(x !== undefined && { … }) matches the established idiom here (interlinear-project-summary.ts:33, useDraftProject.ts:288, ProjectModals.tsx:222), and toStrictEqual / not.toHaveProperty are the right assertions for this change — toEqual would have passed on a coalesced undefined and proved nothing.
Inline: one ❓ on the SenseId rationale, one request to record the Hash semantics in the doc comment, and three ⛏️ touch-ups.

}); it('preserves the absent-vs-empty distinction for ScrTextName and Hash', () => {
⛏️ Assertions 2 and 3 are the two sides of one condition on one field (Hash empty vs Hash absent), which is the shape AGENTS.md:133 names — "still prefer a separate, dedicated test for each side of the condition."
Low stakes, since neither can mask the other in a way that matters: the regression this guards against is re-coalescing absence to '', which trips assertion 3 while 1 and 2 still pass. So take it or leave it.
If you do want it separated without triplicating the fixture, it.each at :282 already does exactly this for Excluded true/false/absent — same shape would give Hash empty and Hash absent their own names and their own failures off one XML template. The GlossId pair at :235 and :258 is split into two blocks, so either idiom has precedent in the file.
src/parsers/pt9/interlinearXmlParser.ts line 20 at r1 (raw file):
* empty string. */ SenseId?: string;
❓ Is there a source for this distinction that I'm not seeing? The PR description says "SenseId absence separates 'no sense selected' from a selected-but-empty gloss", but Paratext itself doesn't appear to draw that line — it treats null and "" identically in both of the two places it inspects the field:
ParatextData/Interlinear/InterlinearData.cs:117—FixGlossIdsguards withif (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(lexeme.SenseId) && ...), so both are skipped.ParatextData/Interlinear/InterlinearData.cs:241—ClusterContainsEmptyGlossdoesSenses.FirstOrDefault(s => s.Id == lexemeData.SenseId), which matches no sense for either value, so both resolve to "empty gloss".
I'm not asking you to change the behavior — preserving the distinction is the right call regardless, since a parser shouldn't collapse states its source format can express. But if PT9 really does treat them the same, the justification is "we don't know these mean the same thing, so we don't merge them" rather than "PT9 distinguishes them", and I'd want the weaker claim to be the one the import gets built on. If you're working from PT10 behavior or a lexicon-side requirement that does distinguish them, say so and I'll drop this.
Separately, and purely confirming: the new wording "a sense id despite the historical name" matches Paratext's own comment at ParatextData/Interlinear/VerseData.cs:147-148 — "ID of the sense of the lexeme gloss. Xml attribute is GlossId for historical reasons."
src/parsers/pt9/interlinearXmlParser.ts line 56 at r1 (raw file):
* absence is the not-approved state; it is never coalesced to an empty string. */ Hash?: string;
This doc gets the absence semantics exactly right, and the Paratext source backs it emphatically enough that it's worth citing here rather than leaving the next reader to re-derive it. ParatextData/Interlinear/VerseData.cs:16-20 documents the field verbatim: "Hash of verse text to indicate that a particular version has been approved. If null, verse has not been approved." PT9's own predicate is Hash != null (VerseData.cs:50), and InterlinearData.MergeWith writes Hash = null at :174 and :180, both with the comment "Best to have the user re-approve the verse" — so null isn't merely the uninitialized state, it's a deliberately-written unapproved sentinel.
What the doc doesn't say is how to read Hash="", and that's the case a consumer will get wrong, because the two obvious TypeScript predicates disagree on it. verse.Hash !== undefined treats '' as approved, matching PT9's != null; a truthiness check if (verse.Hash) treats it as not approved, which contradicts PT9.
That turns out not to matter for real PT9 files, and the reason is worth recording: VerseData.ComputeHash calls StringUtils.FindHash, which is FindHashHex(s, 8) — MD5 the string, hex-encode to 32 characters, Substring(0, 8). It returns exactly 8 hex characters for every input including the empty string, so PT9 cannot produce Hash="". It's only reachable from a hand-edited or foreign file, and PT9 would read one as approved.
Since the PR argues this distinction is load-bearing for the import, I'd extend the comment with something like: "PT9's own check is Hash != null (VerseData.cs:50) and its hash is always 8 hex characters, so an empty value is not a state PT9 can write; read it the way PT9 would, as approved." That pins the consumer to !== undefined rather than truthiness.
src/parsers/pt9/interlinearXmlParser.ts line 186 at r1 (raw file):
* Maps a parsed VerseData's Punctuation array to {@link PunctuationData} array. * * Every entry is preserved. `TextRange` is set only when the entry has a `Range` element with valid
⛏️ The (0, 0) claim in this paragraph checks out, and the reason behind it gives you a stronger sentence than the one written here. PunctuationData.TextRange is [XmlElement("Range")] public StringRange TextRange (ParatextData/Interlinear/VerseData.cs:174), and StringRange is a struct (PtxUtils/StringRange.cs:8) with [XmlAttribute] public int Index / public int Length. Being a value type it can't be null, so a missing <Range> deserializes to (0, 0) — exactly as stated.
The corollary is the useful part: XmlSerializer always emits a non-nullable value-type field, so PT9 always writes a <Range> for every <Punctuation>. A rangeless or malformed punctuation entry isn't a PT9-producible state at all — it can only come from a hand-edited file or a different producer. That makes "preserve the entry, don't fabricate a range" clearly right, and it's a sharper justification than "PT9 reads a missing Range as a default".
Two smaller things in the same paragraph. It justifies only the missing Range case, but a malformed one (<Range Index="x" Length="1" />) now gets identical silent treatment — worth saying so explicitly, because ClusterData.TextRange is the same struct at VerseData.cs:64, meaning a bad cluster range is equally impossible from PT9 yet extractClustersFromVerse throws on it. I'm not asking you to reconcile the two, only to note that the asymmetry is chosen. And the previous comment's "lenient … because punctuation is non-critical to the interlinear display" clause was dropped in the rewrite; some version of it is still earning its keep.
Also not asking for a change: <Range Index="10" /> discards the valid Index=10 along with the missing half. StringRange has no half-range shape and this beats dropping the whole entry, so I'd just have the comment acknowledge that partial ranges are dropped whole.
src/parsers/pt9/pt9-xml.md line 11 at r1 (raw file):
- `GlossLanguage` (required): Language code or name for glosses (e.g. `"en"`). - `BookId` (required): Book id (e.g. `"MAT"`, `"RUT"`). - `ScrTextName` (optional): Source text / project name.
⛏️ The schema section — where a reader actually looks the attribute up — doesn't carry the framing the rest of the PR asserts. interlinearXmlParser.ts:69 says "legacy … no longer written by modern PT9" and the Parsed output section says "absent when the legacy attribute is missing", but this line is still unqualified.
Checking it against the Paratext source, it's true in a stronger form than the PR states, so the note can be precise. The InterlinearData class in ParatextData/Interlinear/InterlinearData.cs:270-285 has no ScrTextName member at all — only GlossLanguage, BookId and Verses. It was deleted on 2020-10-07 in 426368fb0b ("PTX-20541 Review remaining usages of scrText short name"), which removed public string ScrTextName; along with the Debug.Assert(mergeFile.data.ScrTextName == data.ScrTextName, ...) merge guard. Since XmlSerializer silently ignores unknown attributes on read and cannot emit a member that doesn't exist, PT9 has neither written nor read this attribute for about five years. The only interlinear XML left in the Paratext tree that still carries it is Paratext.Tests/Migration/Interlinear_English_MAT.xml and Interlinear_UpperEnglish_MAT.xml — migration fixtures.
Suggested wording:
- `ScrTextName` (optional): Source text / project name. Legacy — removed from Paratext's `InterlinearData` class in 2020 (PTX-20541), so modern PT9 neither writes nor reads it. Only pre-2020 files carry it; the parser preserves its absent-vs-present distinction for those.
The "Example (with all optional data)" at :76 still shows ScrTextName="MyProject" with no indication it's legacy, which reads as current-format guidance.

InterlinearXmlParser's output contracts lossless with respect to optional PT9 data:VerseData.Hash?— PT9 writes the attribute only when a verse is approved, so absence is the not-approved state. Previously coalesced to'', conflating "unapproved" with an empty hash PT9 never writes.InterlinearData.ScrTextName?— preserves the legacy attribute's absent-vs-present distinction.LexemeData.SenseId?— absent when aLexemecarries noGlossId(no sense selection); an empty attribute value stays''.PunctuationData.TextRange?—Punctuationentries without a validRangeare preserved rangeless instead of silently dropped. PT9 reads a missingRangeas a(0,0)default; the parser keeps absence rather than fabricating a range.pt9-xml.mddocuments the new semantics and now points at the parser module for the output types.These distinctions are load-bearing for the upcoming PT9 import:
Hashabsence is the only persisted approval signal in the interlinear XML, andSenseIdabsence separates "no sense selected" from a selected-but-empty gloss.Tests: absence asserted strictly (
toStrictEqual/not.toHaveProperty); new cases forHash/ScrTextName/GlossIdabsent-vs-empty and rangeless punctuation preservation. Coverage stays at 100%.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
