fix(parser): correct the enters-with conjunct doc, and support elided counts - #7490

Request changes — this parser fix is in a path that production bypasses.
🔴 Blocker
[HIGH] The list grammar is only wired into the generic object-hosted replacement parser. Evidence: crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/mod.rs:5212-5227 detects Whenever you cast … enters with … and calls the dedicated parse_whenever_you_cast_enters_with_trigger; its parser at crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_replacement.rs:4912-5000 consumes exactly one +1/+1/-1/-1 counter, while this PR changes only parse_replacement_line_ir at oracle_replacement.rs:4061-4072. Why it matters: the actual trigger path therefore rejects or truncates the counter lists this PR claims to support. Suggested fix: extract/reuse the counter-entry list grammar from the dedicated trigger parser, then build every PutCounter payload there.
[HIGH] The added parser tests do not prove the production trigger pipeline or malformed-input behavior. Evidence: the dedicated trigger path above is selected before the generic replacement path; the negative test proceeds when parsing returns None. Why it matters: such tests can pass while March Toward Perfection, Arcane Archery, and Tenacious Pup still do not produce the intended trigger/engine behavior. Suggested fix: add production trigger-AST and runtime regressions for all three cards, including an assertion that the parser reaches the intended trigger rather than accepting None.
Recommendation: request changes. Please generalize the counter-list grammar at the trigger parser’s actual authority and cover the real trigger/runtime path before this is reconsidered.
Parse diff came back empty — the review's conclusion is correctCI posted Where I differ is the mechanism, and it changes what the fix should be. It isn't the trigger path — the boon wrapper is never strippedRunning all three cards end-to-end on this branch:

What this PR actually deliversWith the card claims removed, what's left is real but narrower:

… counts Does NOT change any card's parse. The CI parse diff on this branch reports "No card-parse changes detected", which is the intended result and is also the evidence that the refactor below is regression-free in both directions. Three things, in descending order of present-day value. 1. Corrects the doc comment on parse_enter_counters_clause_body, which is actively misleading on main. It asserts that the self-referential "enters with" seam "still lifts only the first conjunct" and that routing that seam through this list is "the follow-up". Both halves are wrong. Such a line is a CR 614.1c object-hosted replacement parsed by oracle_replacement::parse_enters_with_counters, which has carried its own conjoined-list reader since c4def2e -- Dust Animus and Voidpouncer already lift every conjunct today. And the two readers must NOT be unified in that direction: the replacement reader opens each element with oracle_util::parse_count_expr (X, twice X, half X rounded up, N plus/minus X) and rewrites X to the entering object's CostXPaid, while this list opens on nom_primitives::parse_number, which does not accept "x". Routing the replacement path through here would regress the X-counted cards (Astral Cornucopia; Sin, Unending Cataclysm). That comment is what sent a round of follow-up work down the wrong path, so it is corrected in place. 2. Pins the gated conjoined shapes the corrected comment describes. Dust Animus (leading game-state gate) and Voidpouncer (kicker gate, plus a trailing "and with haste" rider that must terminate the list without truncating it) exercise gate x conjunct x multi-count together; the pre-existing Agent's Toolkit test covers an ungated list of bare articles and none of those axes. 3. Adds elided-count support to the conjoined-counter grammar. English coordination lets the leading determiner distribute across conjuncts -- "enters with an additional [+1/+1 counter] and [deathtouch counter] on it" -- so a later conjunct can carry no count of its own, and both readers previously required every element to open with a count. CR 122.1 places counters individually and each elided conjunct is a singular counter noun, so the elided count is one. A shared parse_countless_counter_element carries the element grammar for both readers so they cannot drift. Having no leading number to anchor on, two guards replace that anchor: the type must come from parse_strict_counter_type (the arms WITHOUT the open-ended take_till1 -> Generic fallback), and the noun must be singular, since a plural elided conjunct is ambiguous about whether the head count distributes and nothing prints one. In oracle_effect::lower, separated_list1 no longer fits now that the leading and non-leading positions take different parsers; it becomes an explicit first element plus many0(preceded(" and ", alt((counted, elided)))), which keeps the backtracking that stops a non-counter conjunct. " on it" moves to a list-level opt, since it terminates the list rather than the element. In oracle_replacement, the list reader now receives after_with rather than after_additional -- that caller-level "an additional " strip exists for the single-counter path and ate the very article anchoring the list's head -- and element parsing is extracted into parse_enters_counter_entry(input, allow_elided_count), which parse_enters_counter_separator now validates through instead of carrying its own inline copy of the grammar. No card exercises the elided form yet. The three that print it -- March Toward Perfection, Arcane Archery, Tenacious Pup -- are blocked upstream by an unparsed "You get a one-time boon with ..." wrapper, which feeds the whole boon sentence to the counter grammar and yields a CounterType::Generic named after an entire English sentence. That is pre-existing on main and is filed separately as phase-rs#7495; this grammar is ready for those cards once the wrapper is handled. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Parse comma-separated counter elements.

Preserve the text after a parsed counter list.
parse_enters_counter_entries returns only counter entries. The caller therefore builds the PutCounter chain and discards the remaining rider. The Voidpouncer case at Lines 15717-15730 parses its counters but loses "and with haste".
Return the unconsumed suffix from the list reader. Parse that suffix as a replacement rider. If it is unsupported, return None so the parser fails closed instead of publishing a partial replacement.

Request changes — the current refactor still leaves the production cast-enters authority on a separate single-counter grammar, and its tests do not reach that authority.
🔴 Blocker
[HIGH] The generic replacement change is not wired through the cast-enters dispatcher. Evidence: crates/engine/src/parser/oracle.rs:5217-5229 routes a matching Whenever you cast … enters with … line to parse_whenever_you_cast_enters_with_trigger, whose payload parser at crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_replacement.rs:4912-5000 still accepts exactly one +1/+1 or -1/-1 counter. This PR changes the generic replacement reader at oracle_replacement.rs:4061-4072. Why it matters: a real cast-enters line bypasses the new list grammar, so the duplicated production authority cannot implement or prove conjoined/elided counters. Suggested fix: factor the shared counted/elided entry-list grammar at the trigger authority (while preserving its dynamic-count semantics), construct every PutCounter payload from that list, and retain strict failure for unsupported suffixes.
[HIGH] The added parser tests bypass the selected production trigger path, and the negative guard is vacuous when the parser returns None. Evidence: production dispatch selects parse_whenever_you_cast_enters_with_trigger before the generic replacement path (oracle.rs:5226-5229); the PR's direct parse_replacement_line/entry-reader tests therefore do not establish trigger AST or runtime behavior. Why it matters: passing unit tests can coexist with a trigger that neither parses nor installs every counter replacement. Suggested fix: add a production trigger-AST assertion and a scenario/runtime assertion that fail on reverting the production list wiring, plus a positive reach guard before every malformed-input negative assertion.
The contributor correctly identified that March Toward Perfection, Arcane Archery, and Tenacious Pup are additionally blocked upstream by their quoted-boon wrapper; that does not remove the independent duplicated cast-enters authority above. The parse-diff sticky is still bound to old head f53e6d42054d1b0348f8d7acd0abd2e8a58b483d, and the CI run for this head is queued, so neither is current-head evidence.
Recommendation: request changes. Generalize at the production trigger authority and demonstrate the end-to-end trigger behavior; keep the boon-wrapper repair separately scoped.

The current formal request-changes review remains the disposition for head The quoted-boon wrapper explains why the named cards are not reached today, but it does not remove the separate production cast-enters reader at Before the requested changes can clear, add a production trigger AST/runtime test with a positive reach guard and a suffix-preservation case (the Voidpouncer test currently drops |

Does NOT change any card's parse. The CI parse diff on this branch reports
"No card-parse changes detected", which is the intended result and is also the
evidence that the refactor below is regression-free in both directions.
Three things, in descending order of present-day value.
Corrects the doc comment on parse_enter_counters_clause_body, which is
actively misleading on main. It asserts that the self-referential "enters with"
seam "still lifts only the first conjunct" and that routing that seam through
this list is "the follow-up". Both halves are wrong. Such a line is a CR 614.1c
object-hosted replacement parsed by oracle_replacement::parse_enters_with_counters,
which has carried its own conjoined-list reader since c4def2e -- Dust Animus and
Voidpouncer already lift every conjunct today. And the two readers must NOT be
unified in that direction: the replacement reader opens each element with
oracle_util::parse_count_expr (X, twice X, half X rounded up, N plus/minus X) and
rewrites X to the entering object's CostXPaid, while this list opens on
nom_primitives::parse_number, which does not accept "x". Routing the replacement
path through here would regress the X-counted cards (Astral Cornucopia; Sin,
Unending Cataclysm). That comment is what sent a round of follow-up work down the
wrong path, so it is corrected in place.
Pins the gated conjoined shapes the corrected comment describes. Dust Animus
(leading game-state gate) and Voidpouncer (kicker gate, plus a trailing "and with
haste" rider that must terminate the list without truncating it) exercise gate x
conjunct x multi-count together; the pre-existing Agent's Toolkit test covers an
ungated list of bare articles and none of those axes.
Adds elided-count support to the conjoined-counter grammar. English
coordination lets the leading determiner distribute across conjuncts -- "enters
with an additional [+1/+1 counter] and [deathtouch counter] on it" -- so a later
conjunct can carry no count of its own, and both readers previously required
every element to open with a count. CR 122.1 places counters individually and
each elided conjunct is a singular counter noun, so the elided count is one.
A shared parse_countless_counter_element carries the element grammar for both
readers so they cannot drift. Having no leading number to anchor on, two guards
replace that anchor: the type must come from parse_strict_counter_type (the arms
WITHOUT the open-ended take_till1 -> Generic fallback), and the noun must be
singular, since a plural elided conjunct is ambiguous about whether the head count
distributes and nothing prints one.
In oracle_effect::lower, separated_list1 no longer fits now that the leading and
non-leading positions take different parsers; it becomes an explicit first element
plus many0(preceded(" and ", alt((counted, elided)))), which keeps the
backtracking that stops a non-counter conjunct. " on it" moves to a list-level opt,
since it terminates the list rather than the element. In oracle_replacement, the
list reader now receives after_with rather than after_additional -- that
caller-level "an additional " strip exists for the single-counter path and ate the
very article anchoring the list's head -- and element parsing is extracted into
parse_enters_counter_entry(input, allow_elided_count), which
parse_enters_counter_separator now validates through instead of carrying its own
inline copy of the grammar.
No card exercises the elided form yet. The three that print it -- March Toward
Perfection, Arcane Archery, Tenacious Pup -- are blocked upstream by an unparsed
"You get a one-time boon with ..." wrapper, which feeds the whole boon sentence
to the counter grammar and yields a CounterType::Generic named after an entire
English sentence. That is pre-existing on main and is filed separately as #7495;
this grammar is ready for those cards once the wrapper is handled.
