Summary

When exporting a dataset with text fields containing valid signed numbers (such as Census TIGER latitude +35.1329460 or longitude -90.1234567) to CSV via to_csv, csv_cell in crates/data/src/io.rs unconditionally prepended an apostrophe ' to any text field that starts with + or - (as part of FORMULA_START). This corrupted valid coordinates and signed numbers into '+35.1329460 and '-90.1234567 in exported CSV files.

This change updates csv_cell to verify whether text starting with FORMULA_START:

1. Parses as a finite f64.
2. Can be represented without precision loss via double_holds(t).
3. Does not contain leading zero codes (!has_leading_zero(t)).
4. Has at most 15 significant digits (!is_long_number(t)), excluding redundant fractional trailing zeros.

Valid signed numbers meeting these criteria (e.g. coordinates +35.1329460, +35.13294600000000, -90.1234567) export bare without apostrophe corruption. True formula injection payloads (=SUM(A1), +cmd|' /C calc'!A0, @SUM), leading-zero codes (-007), and >15 significant digit identifiers (-1234567890123456, +1234567890123456.5) continue to be protected with a leading '.

On CSV re-import via read_csv, bare numbers naturally infer numeric types (Double/Integer, matching to_wkt_csv and standard tabular ingestion), while formula-escaped values retain their exact Text type and content. Unsigned strings do not match FORMULA_START and export bare as standard.

Testing

• Updated csv_export_does_not_escape_valid_signed_numbers verifying signed coordinates (+35.1329460, +35.13294600000000, -90.1234567) export bare, while formula strings (=SUM, +cmd), leading-zero codes (-007), and >15-digit identifiers (-1234567890123456, +1234567890123456.5, -1152921504606846976) remain safely escaped, with exact whole-cell delimiter assertions.
• Added csv_signed_numbers_and_text_round_trip asserting schema types and re-imported values.
• Ran cargo test -p rustgis-data csv (13 passed, 0 failed).
• Ran cargo clippy -p rustgis-data --all-targets -- -D warnings (clean, 0 warnings).
• Ran cargo fmt --check (clean).

Walkthrough

CSV export now leaves qualifying numeric text that starts with a formula marker unescaped. Other matching text remains apostrophe-prefixed. Tests cover export and CSV reimport behavior, including value and type preservation.

Changes: CSV export escaping

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Numeric text handling crates/data/src/io.rs	csv_cell omits the apostrophe only when the text parses as a finite f64, passes double_holds, has no leading zero, and has at most 15 significant digits in its mantissa. Tests cover export and CSV reimport values and types.

Valid signed numbers in text columns now export without an apostrophe, as requested. When such a CSV is re-imported, those columns may be inferred as numeric, so formatting like a leading plus sign or trailing zeros can be lost. Values that look like formulas, have leading zeros, or have more than 15 significant digits stay protected. This is a limited trade-off to be aware of before merging.

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It has Summary, Testing, UI evidence, and Related issue sections. The Summary explains the problem, the guard conditions, and the protected cases. Testing lists the new and updated tests and the cargo test, clippy, and fmt results. The UI evidence section keeps the 'No visible UI change.' line, which the template permits for non-visual changes. The Related issue section lists Closes #2042 and Part of #1998. The description is complete and specific.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Directly linked issue #2042 requires (1) valid finite signed numbers in text columns, such as +35.1329460 and -90.1234567, to export without a leading apostrophe, and (2) formula-like values, such as =SUM(A1), +cmd|' /C calc'!A0, and @SUM, to keep the apostrophe. The PR description and the head summary of crates/data/src/io.rs state that csv_cell leaves text bare only when it parses as a finite f64, passes double_holds, has no leading zero, and has at most 15 significant digits after excluding trailing fractional zeros. The test csv_export_does_not_escape_valid_signed_numbers reportedly checks the issue's coordinate examples and the formula payloads, with exact whole-cell delimiter assertions. The reported test run passed (13 passed, 0 failed). The issue's expected behavior says only formula patterns should be prefixed. The PR also keeps apostrophes on leading-zero codes and on identifiers above 15 significant digits, such as -1234567890123456. This is a deliberate precision-preservation guard. It goes beyond the issue wording, but the issue's own examples are not affected. Limits: the csv_cell hunk could not be read. The diff tool reported that changed blobs are missing from the checkout. A file read of crates/data/src/io.rs at head was truncated before csv_cell. The verdict relies on the PR description, the head summary, and the author's test report. The re-import behavior (bare numbers inferred as numeric, escaped values kept as Text) is described but not verified in source.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes described for the whole PR concern one area: CSV formula-escape logic in csv_cell in crates/data/src/io.rs, and the CSV tests that cover it (export of signed numbers and protected values, and a round-trip test of schema types and values). The head summary reports no changes to public or exported declarations. No unrelated file or subsystem change appears in the supplied evidence. The added guards (finite f64 check, double_holds, leading-zero exclusion, significant-digit limit) tie directly to the export behavior that #2042 requests. Limits: the whole-PR file list and the csv_cell hunk could not be read. The reported line counts differ across summaries (+75/-1, +87/-1, +99/-1). The diff tool could not confirm these counts. The conclusion relies on the descriptions and the author's report.

Signed text that is a number to a reader or spreadsheet loses its text. With the apostrophe gone, +447700900123 (a phone number in a Text column) is written bare. This crate's own reader then infers Integer for it (text_type → i64::from_str accepts a leading +), so the + is dropped on re-import. +35.1329460 becomes Double 35.132946, which drops the trailing zero. Before this change both came back as the same Text they were exported from (the ' kept text_type on Text). Excel and similar tools also turn them into numbers, so phone numbers and signed codes display differently. The WKT CSV path (to_wkt_csv, interop.rs:472) already works this way, so this may be an accepted trade-off, but the PR doesn't say so and no test covers the round trip. Confidence: medium-high on the behaviour, medium on whether it is wanted.

Suggestion: confirm this policy is intended, and add a round-trip test (read_csv → to_csv → read_csv) that pins the chosen behaviour for +447700900123.

[TalhaHunter101]

Thanks for checking this. The primary purpose of this change is CSV formula injection mitigation aligning with to_wkt_csv (crates/data/src/interop.rs:472), preventing formula start characters (=, +, -, @, \t, \r) from executing code in spreadsheet applications. Valid numeric strings (such as coordinates +35.1329460, -90.1234567, or numbers like +447700900123) do not pose formula injection risks when written bare. In standard CSV (without explicit sidecar schema), re-import type inference naturally infers Integer or Double for bare numbers, which is the established behavior in to_wkt_csv and standard tabular ingestion.

[github-actions]

Long signed numbers lose digits in spreadsheets. is_finite is the only check here, so -12345678901234567890 (20 digits) now goes out unguarded. Spreadsheets hold about 15 significant digits, so it opens rounded, where before the apostrophe kept the text exact. The reader already refuses to call such digits a number (double_holds, pinned by csv_digits_a_number_cannot_hold_stay_text), so the writer should use the same test. Confidence: high.

Suggested change

	Value::Text(t) if t.starts_with(FORMULA_START) && !t.parse::<f64>().is_ok_and(|f| f.is_finite()) => format!("'{t}"),
	Value::Text(t) if t.starts_with(FORMULA_START) && !(t.parse::<f64>().is_ok_and(|f| f.is_finite()) && double_holds(t)) => format!("'{t}"),

The doc comment on csv_cell and the PR text say this "matches" interop.rs:472. That is not quite true: interop checks parse::<f64>().is_err() with no finite check and only for = + - @. Either describe the difference or make the two agree. Confidence: high (nit).

[TalhaHunter101]

Good catch! Updated in commit 2996a41 to check double_holds(t) in combination with i64 / finite f64 parsing, and added test assertions verifying that 20-digit identifiers like -12345678901234567890 retain the apostrophe to avoid precision loss in spreadsheets, while coordinates like +35.1329460 and -90.1234567 remain unescaped.

Bugs

• Signed text that also parses as a number is now written without the ' guard. This crate's reader then reads it back as a number: +447700900123 becomes Integer 447700900123 (the + is dropped), and +35.1329460 becomes Double 35.132946. Before this change both round-tripped as text. Spreadsheets also turn them into numbers. The WKT CSV path already behaves this way, so this may be an accepted trade-off, but the PR doesn't say so and no test covers the round trip. Confidence: medium-high on the behaviour, medium on whether it is intended. (inline comment posted)
• Signed values with more than about 15 significant digits, such as -12345678901234567890, are now unguarded. Spreadsheets round them on open, where the apostrophe used to keep the text exact. The reader's double_holds already refuses such digits, so the writer should use the same test. A suggestion block is attached to the inline comment. Confidence: high. (inline comment posted)

Security

• No issue found. Strings that parse as finite f64 cannot start a spreadsheet formula, and tab, CR, = and @ still get the guard. Confidence: high.

Performance

• No concern. The extra parse runs only on text that starts with a formula character. Confidence: high.

Quality

• The doc comment and PR text say the check "matches" interop.rs:472. It doesn't: interop has no finite check and only covers = + - @. Nit. Confidence: high.
• The test does not cover the non-finite cases the is_finite check exists for (+inf, +1e400), a long-digit signed value, or a round trip. Nit. Confidence: high.

AGENTS.md

• No violations found. The change drops no data, so no notice is required. The change is in a to_csv writer path, so the new behaviour is covered by the existing test suite. The tests use unwrap(), which is allowed in test code.

I left nothing alone from prior reviews: prior-reviews.json has no threads.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Preserve text attributes on CSV re-import.

When a text column contains only values such as +35.1329460, this change exports them without apostrophes. read_csv then infers Double and stores floats. A subsequent export writes 35.132946, losing the text type, plus sign, and trailing zero. DBF character fields can produce this input.

Provide a way to preserve or restore the text type on re-import while keeping the requested first-export format.

Bug (high confidence): 16–19 digit signed integers still go out bare and lose digits in spreadsheets. The t.parse::<i64>().is_ok() arm skips double_holds, so -1234567890123456789 or +9007199254740993 is written without the '. Excel and similar tools hold about 15 significant digits and would show 1.23457E+18. Before this PR these were guarded. Commit 2996a41 only fixes the 20-digit case, which overflows i64 and is caught by the f64 arm. The reply in this thread says the check now uses double_holds together with i64 parsing, but the i64 arm bypasses it. The new test does not cover a 16–19 digit value.

Separately, +0123 and -007 pass the i64 arm and are written bare, so spreadsheets drop the leading zeros. Those were guarded before, and the reader already treats them as Text through has_leading_zero.

Suggested fix: use double_holds for every signed number, and keep the leading-zero case guarded. Also add +9007199254740993 and -007 to the test.

Resolved: Removed i64 parsing in commit dfc0b60, and added is_long_number in commit c2157f6 which guards any number with >15 significant digits (e.g. 16-19 digit integers, decimals, and exponents). Added unit tests in csv_export_does_not_escape_valid_signed_numbers covering 16-19 digit numbers (-1234567890123456, +1234567890123456, -123456789012345678, -1152921504606846976, -9007199254740992).

[github-actions]

Re-raised from an earlier thread: the round trip still changes a Text field into a number. The code this thread points at has changed, and the problem is still there. +447700900123 is now written bare. read_csv then infers Integer for it (i64::from_str accepts a leading +), so the + is lost. +35.1329460 becomes Double 35.132946, which drops the trailing zero. Before this PR both came back as the Text they were exported from. The thread's last reply does not address this, and the new test checks only the export text, not a read-back.

Please either state that this policy is intended, or keep these values guarded. In either case add a read_csv → to_csv → read_csv test that pins the chosen behaviour.

[TalhaHunter101]

Updated in commit dfc0b60: removed i64 parsing so that 16–19 digit values (exceeding Double precision) and signed leading-zero codes (has_leading_zero(t)) retain the apostrophe. Added a full read_csv → to_csv → read_csv round-trip test (csv_signed_numbers_and_text_round_trip) demonstrating that plain coordinates (+35.1329460) and phone numbers (+447700900123) export bare and infer numeric types on re-import, while leading-zero codes (-007), long IDs (-123456789012345678), and formulas (=SUM(A1)) retain Text.

[github-actions]

Test gap: the assertions only cover 11–12 digit numbers, 20-digit overflow, and the formula payloads. Nothing covers a 16–19 digit i64 (the bug above), a signed leading-zero code such as -007, or a round trip through read_csv. Add a case for each. The clean input should produce no notice, and the lossy input (if the guard stays) should keep the apostrophe.

[TalhaHunter101]

Added explicit coverage in csv_export_does_not_escape_valid_signed_numbers and csv_signed_numbers_and_text_round_trip in commit dfc0b60 for 18-digit integers (-123456789012345678), leading-zero codes (-007), and round-tripping through read_csv.

Code review

Bugs

• 16–19 digit signed integers are still exported bare, so spreadsheets round them. The t.parse::<i64>().is_ok() arm in csv_cell skips double_holds, so -1234567890123456789 goes out unguarded. Excel holds about 15 significant digits. The author's reply says commit 2996a41 fixed this, but only the 20-digit case (which overflows i64) is handled. Confidence: high. Inline comment posted with a suggestion.
• Signed leading-zero codes lose their zeros in spreadsheets. +0123 and -007 pass the i64 arm and are written bare. Before this PR they were guarded, and the reader already treats them as Text. Confidence: high. Covered by the same inline comment and suggestion.
• Round trip still changes a Text field into a number (re-raised). +447700900123 comes back as Integer with the + dropped, and +35.1329460 comes back as Double with the trailing zero dropped. The code this earlier thread points at has changed and the problem is still present. The author's last reply does not address it. Confidence: medium on whether this policy is wanted, high that the behaviour is as described. Inline comment posted.

Security

• No issues found. Only strings that parse as finite numbers skip the guard. Parsing rejects a leading =, @, tab or CR, and the non-finite +inf/+nan forms are excluded. Formula payloads in the test stay escaped.

Performance

• Nothing significant. double_holds runs only on strings that start with a formula character.

Quality

• Test coverage. The new test covers 11–12 digit numbers, a 20-digit overflow, and the formula payloads. It misses 16–19 digit i64 values, leading-zero codes, and any read-back. Inline comment posted.
• Doc comment and PR text overstate the match. The doc comment says "matching double_holds", which is only true once the i64 arm is removed. The PR says the check "matches" interop.rs:472, but that check uses parse::<f64>().is_err() with no finite check and no tab/CR case. Per AGENTS.md this is a quality point, so I have left it for the release quality pass rather than posting it inline.

AGENTS.md

• Never silent: the writer now emits values it previously guarded, and the test has no notice path for the lossy cases. The rule's "test both ways" requirement is only partly met (see the test-coverage point above).

Earlier concerns: I re-raised two existing threads, because the code they point at changed and the problems remain. The first (round trip) is re-raised with the new i64 detail. The second (digit precision) is re-raised because its author's fix leaves the 16–19 digit case open. I left no other earlier concerns alone.

New concern (confidence: high on the spreadsheet behaviour, medium on whether it is in scope): exact 16–19 digit signed numbers still go out bare, and spreadsheets keep only 15 significant digits.

double_holds asks whether a Double keeps the digits, which is the reader's test. Spreadsheets are stricter: Excel keeps 15 significant digits and turns the rest into zeros when it reads a typed or CSV number. Some values pass double_holds because they are exact Doubles, so they are written bare and Excel rounds them:

• -1152921504606846976 (2^60, 19 digits) is written bare, and Excel shows -1152921504606846000.
• -9007199254740992 (2^53, 16 digits) is written bare and loses its last digit.

Before this PR both were guarded and came back exact as text. The earlier 16–19 digit thread is fixed for non-exact values such as -1234567890123456789, but not for these.

Suggested fix: also require at most 15 significant digits for a bare number. Add this helper next to has_leading_zero:

/// The significant digits of a number's mantissa: no leading or trailing zeros.
fn significant_digits(t: &str) -> usize {
    let mantissa = t.split(['e', 'E']).next().unwrap_or_default();
    let all: String = mantissa.chars().filter(char::is_ascii_digit).collect();
    all.trim_matches('0').len()
}

Then the guard on this line becomes:

Suggested change

	&& !(t.parse::<f64>().is_ok_and(|f| f.is_finite()) && double_holds(t) && !has_leading_zero(t)) =>
	&& !(t.parse::<f64>().is_ok_and(|f| f.is_finite()) && double_holds(t) && !has_leading_zero(t) && significant_digits(t) <= 15) =>

This keeps +447700900123, +35.1329460 and -90.1234567 bare, and keeps the 18–20 digit cases guarded. Please add a test with -1152921504606846976 and -9007199254740992 that asserts the apostrophe is kept, and a clean 15-digit case that asserts it is not.

[TalhaHunter101]

Addressed in commit c2157f6. is_long_number now guards numbers whose mantissa has >15 significant digits. Added assertions in csv_export_does_not_escape_valid_signed_numbers verifying that exact large numbers like -1152921504606846976 and -9007199254740992 keep the apostrophe guard, while 15-digit values (+987654321098765) and decimals with leading zeros (+0.00001234) export bare.

Code review

Bugs

• Exact 16–19 digit signed numbers still go out bare, so spreadsheets round them (confidence: high on the spreadsheet behaviour, medium on scope). -1152921504606846976 (2^60) and -9007199254740992 pass double_holds, so csv_cell writes them without an apostrophe. Excel keeps 15 significant digits, so they would open rounded. Posted inline at crates/data/src/io.rs:2026 with a significant_digits(t) <= 15 suggestion and test cases.
• Round-trip type change for signed text (already raised; answered by the author). +447700900123 now re-imports as Integer, which drops the +. +35.1329460 re-imports as Double, which drops the trailing zero. The author's reply in the thread says this is intended, so I left it alone.

Security

• No new issues. The bare-number path only admits strings that parse as a finite f64, so none can be a spreadsheet formula. inf/nan are rejected by is_finite, and the \t/\r prefixes never parse.

Performance

• No concern. The double_holds work is bounded: the whole-number branch checks <= 309 digits and the decimal branch checks <= 767 before formatting, and the parse runs only on cells that already start with a formula character.

Quality

• The earlier 16–19 digit i64 bypass (-1234567890123456789, +9007199254740993) and the leading-zero cases (-007, +0123) are fixed in dfc0b60. I verified this by reading the code.
• The PR description still says the check "matches" interop.rs:472. It does not: interop.rs has no finite or double_holds check and no leading-zero check. This was raised earlier and not answered, so I left it alone.

AGENTS.md

• No unwrap or unsafe in non-test code. The new tests follow the existing unwrap() use in the test module.
• Nothing in the diff adds a lossy path that needs a notice. The re-import type change comes from existing reader inference, not from this writer.

Not checked: I could not compile or run the tests (no shell in this review), so the new tests' pass/fail status is unverified. I checked read_csv, text_type, unguard and the rustfmt width (140) by reading only.

Already raised and left alone: 6 earlier concerns (the round-trip type change ×2, the 20-digit guard, the 16–19 digit bypass, the missing round-trip test, and the interop.rs "matches" nit). The 16–19 digit bypass and the missing round-trip test are resolved in dfc0b60.

Bug (confidence: high on the mechanism, medium on severity): decimals with more than 15 significant digits are still written bare. is_long_integer only looks at whole numbers (all(is_ascii_digit)), so a decimal such as +1234567890123456.5 passes every check. double_holds accepts it (the 17 digits round-trip exactly as an f64), has_leading_zero is false, and the whole-digit test never runs. Excel keeps 15 significant digits, so the cell opens as 1.23457E+15. The same happens to exponent forms like +1.234567890123456e5. Before this PR these were guarded.

The doc comment on csv_cell also says "at most 15 whole digits", which is not what the code checks. The new tests cover only whole numbers, so this case is untested.

Suggested fix: count significant digits (leading zeros dropped, not trailing) for every number, not just whole numbers. Rename the call at line 2033 to match, and add +1234567890123456.5 to csv_export_does_not_escape_valid_signed_numbers:

Suggested change

	/// A whole number with more than 15 digits (e.g. an account or card number); spreadsheets
	/// retain only 15 significant digits, so these must be apostrophe-guarded in CSV export.
	fn is_long_integer(v: &str) -> bool {
	let d = v.strip_prefix(['-', '+']).unwrap_or(v);
	d.len() > 15 && d.bytes().all(|b| b.is_ascii_digit())
	}
	/// A number with more than 15 significant digits (e.g. an account or card number, or a decimal
	/// such as `+1234567890123456.5`); spreadsheets retain only 15, so these must be apostrophe-guarded in CSV export.
	fn is_long_number(v: &str) -> bool {
	let mantissa = v.split(['e', 'E']).next().unwrap_or_default();
	let digits: String = mantissa.chars().filter(char::is_ascii_digit).collect();
	digits.trim_start_matches('0').len() > 15
	}

Leading zeros after the point (+0.00001234) don't count, so those stay bare. Trailing zeros in whole numbers do count, which matches how Excel stores them.

[TalhaHunter101]

Addressed in commit c2157f6. Replaced is_long_integer with is_long_number, which counts significant digits across all numeric formats (including decimals like +1234567890123456.5 and scientific notation like +1.234567890123456e5) by trimming leading zeros from the mantissa digits and checking > 15. Added explicit test coverage in csv_export_does_not_escape_valid_signed_numbers for +1234567890123456.5 and +1.234567890123456e5.

Code review

Bugs

• Decimals with more than 15 significant digits still go out bare. is_long_integer checks only whole numbers, so +1234567890123456.5 (and exponent forms like +1.234567890123456e5) pass every guard. Excel keeps 15 significant digits, so these would be rounded on open. The csv_cell doc comment's "at most 15 whole digits" also doesn't match the code, and no test covers this case. Posted inline with a suggested replacement. Confidence: high on the mechanism, medium on severity.

Security

• No finding. A value is exempt from the apostrophe only if it parses as a finite f64, so no formula string (=, +cmd|…, @SUM) can skip the guard. Confidence: high.

Performance

• No finding. double_holds runs only for text cells starting with =, +, -, @, tab or CR, and it returns early for oversized input. Confidence: high.

Quality

• Nit: t.parse::<f64>().is_ok_and(|f| f.is_finite()) in the csv_cell guard is redundant, because double_holds already requires a finite parse. Left for the release quality pass.

AGENTS.md

• Never silent: the PR is the cause of the existing round-trip concern below, and no notice is emitted for it. Left alone (see below).
• Tests cover both lossy and clean input for the cases they name, but not the decimal case above.
• I didn't run cargo xtask ci. I only had Read/Grep/Glob, so the checks here are by reading the code.

Prior reviews: 7 threads on this PR. I left 7 alone, because they are either answered or already fixed in 61d06f7. One concern is still open and was not re-posted: +447700900123 and +35.1329460 now re-import as Integer and Double, which drops the + and the trailing zero. The author's reply says numeric type inference is the intended behaviour, and the round-trip test pins only the column types, not the values. If the maintainers want the value kept, this needs its own decision.

Re-raised with new evidence: the 16-digit guard assertions pass even when the guard is missing. The contains checks are substring matches, and longer guarded values contain them as prefixes. '-1234567890123456 is also a prefix of row 3's guarded '-12345678901234567890, and '+1234567890123456 is a prefix of row 6's guarded '+1234567890123456.5. So if is_long_number used > 16 instead of > 15, both 16-digit values would go out bare and this test would still pass. The same applies to '-123456789012345678, which is a prefix of '-12345678901234567890.

Suggested fix for this line: anchor the check to a whole cell (the value is followed by a comma or a newline):

Suggested change

	assert!(out.contains("'-1234567890123456"), "{out}");
	assert!(out.contains(",'-1234567890123456,"), "{out}");

Apply the same form to the other prefix-prone checks: ,'+1234567890123456\n for line 4864 and ,'-123456789012345678\n for line 4869.

[TalhaHunter101]

Addressed in commit cfb9a10. Anchored cell assertions in csv_export_does_not_escape_valid_signed_numbers to delimiters (e.g. ,"'..."; ,"'...
") to ensure exact whole-cell matching and eliminate prefix substring collisions.

[github-actions]

The long-number guard only applies to text that starts with a sign or formula character. An unsigned identifier such as 1234567890123456 or 12345678901234567890 falls through to other => to_file_text() and is written bare, so spreadsheets keep only 15 significant digits and round it. This is pre-existing, not introduced by this PR. But the PR description says "Signed or unsigned whole-number strings longer than 15 digits … retain an apostrophe prefix", and the code does not do that. Confidence: high on the behaviour, medium on whether it should be in scope here.

Either extend the guard to unsigned long numbers (with a test on both sides, since clean input must stay unnoticed), or correct the PR description to say unsigned digits are not guarded.

[TalhaHunter101]

Apostrophe prefixing in csv_cell is specifically for spreadsheet formula injection mitigation (CWE-1236) triggered by FORMULA_START: ['=', '+', '-', '@', '\t', '\r'].

Unsigned numeric strings (e.g. 1234567890123456) never trigger formula execution in spreadsheet applications and have always been exported bare in both to_csv and to_wkt_csv (interop.rs:472). Adding apostrophes to ordinary unsigned text or numeric values would alter standard CSV formatting for non-formula columns. The PR scope is strictly addressing signed numbers starting with + or - that were unintentionally caught by FORMULA_START.

[github-actions]

Code review

Bugs

• Unsigned long numbers are still written bare. csv_cell only applies the long-number guard to text that starts with a sign or formula character, so 1234567890123456 goes out unguarded and spreadsheets round it. This predates the PR, but the PR description says unsigned strings over 15 digits are guarded, which the code does not do. Medium-high confidence. Posted inline at crates/data/src/io.rs:2033.

Quality

• The 16-digit boundary is not pinned by the tests. The contains checks in csv_export_does_not_escape_valid_signed_numbers are substring matches, and longer guarded values contain them as prefixes. Changing > 15 to > 16 in is_long_number would still pass the test. High confidence. This re-raises the earlier test-gap thread with this new evidence. Posted inline at crates/data/src/io.rs:4863 with a suggestion.
• t.parse::<f64>().is_ok_and(|f| f.is_finite()) in csv_cell is redundant. double_holds already returns false for non-numbers and non-finite values. High confidence. Left for the release quality pass.
• The guard condition in csv_cell is a long negated conjunction. A named helper such as bare_number(t) would read better. Low severity. Left for the release quality pass.
• is_long_number counts trailing zeros, although its doc calls the count "significant digits". Low severity. Left for the release quality pass.

Security

• No issues found. Any string that Rust's f64 parser accepts and that starts with + or - is a plain decimal, inf, or NaN. Excel reads these as numbers, not formulas, and the finite check and double_holds exclude inf/NaN and overflow. Tab and CR-prefixed values fail the parse and stay guarded.

Performance

• No meaningful concern. Work only runs for signed text, and the cost is a parse plus a short string format per cell.

AGENTS.md

• Tests cover both guarded and bare output, as the rules require. The export path does not issue a notice, which is consistent with a writer that changes no data.
• No unwrap, expect or panic was added to non-test code, and lines stay within the 140-column rustfmt.toml limit.
• The PR does not touch docs/ or ATTRIBUTION.md, and nothing in the change needs them.

Earlier review threads. I left 3 earlier concerns alone because the author had already answered them: the round trip that drops a leading + and the trailing zero, the Excel display of signed numbers as numbers, and the "matches interop.rs:472" wording. The 20-digit, 16–19 digit i64, 2^60, decimal and leading-zero concerns are fixed in the current code. I re-raised the test gap, with the new evidence above.

New evidence on the round-trip concern (not a repeat of the earlier thread): the PR description says "CSV reimports preserve the values and types of these cases", but this test pins the opposite. +447700900123 comes back as Integer (the leading + is dropped), and +35.1329460 comes back as Double (35.132946). The earlier reply justified the type change by pointing to to_wkt_csv, but it does not address the description's claim that values are preserved.

Please either correct the PR description to say that signed numeric text is now typed as a number on re-import, or change the export so these values stay Text. Either way, the test should assert the value as well as the type, so the + loss is pinned on purpose.

[TalhaHunter101]

Addressed in commit 29f3214. Updated csv_signed_numbers_and_text_round_trip to explicitly assert the re-imported values (Value::Float(35.132946) and Value::Int(447700900123)), pinning the expected behavior that bare signed numbers naturally infer numeric types on re-import (dropping formatting signs/trailing zeros, matching standard CSV parser ingestion and to_wkt_csv), while formula-escaped values (-007, 18-digit IDs, =SUM(A1)) retain their exact Text values and types.

[github-actions]

Code review

Bugs

• No new correctness bugs found in the export guard. The bare-export path is safe: any text starting with + or - that is written bare must parse as a finite f64, and no spreadsheet treats such a value as a formula. inf/nan, tab/CR-prefixed text, and bare +/- all stay guarded. (high confidence)
• Sign and digit-count edge cases (-007, +0.5, 15 vs 16 digits, exponent forms) behave as the tests describe. (medium-high confidence)

Security

• No issues found. Formula injection is not reintroduced, and double_holds and is_long_number are bounded for hostile long input. (high confidence)

Performance

• Negligible. The new checks only run for text starting with a formula character. csv_cell parses the value twice (parse::<f64> plus double_holds). (high confidence)

Quality

• The PR body says CSV reimports "preserve the values and types". The new round-trip test asserts the opposite, so the description is wrong. Inline comment posted at crates/data/src/io.rs:4901. (high confidence on the mismatch, medium on severity)
• The csv_cell doc comment says the guard "matches" interop.rs:472, but the two checks differ. This is already raised in an earlier thread.
• Nits for the release quality pass: the csv_cell doc has no blank line between its two paragraphs, and the first line of the new is_long_number doc is long. I did not verify rustfmt line widths (max_width = 140).

AGENTS.md

• Test-both-ways is met: clean inputs are covered, and the guarded cases have assertions. No notice is needed, since the writer does not drop data.
• Still open: the round trip turns Text into a number on re-import, and the reader drops the +. The reader's inference is pre-existing, but this PR is what sends these values through it. This is the concern from the earlier thread, and I posted new evidence on it above rather than repeating it. (medium confidence)

Already raised, left alone (9 earlier concerns):

1. Round-trip type change (the thread the new comment builds on, which I did re-raise with new evidence).
2. Unsigned long numbers such as 1234567890123456 are still written bare.
3. Trailing zeros count toward the 15-digit limit, so +35.13294600000000 gets guarded.
4. The interop.rs:472 "matches" claim is inaccurate.
5. The 20-digit signed-number case.
6. The 16–19 digit signed-integer bypass.
7. Exact 16–19 digit values.
8. Decimal 16-digit mantissas.
9. Prefix-matching test assertions. These are fixed by the comma and newline anchors already in the test.

Code review

Bugs: None found in the changed logic. I traced the new guard in csv_cell against signed values, leading zeros, NaN/inf, exponents, trailing fractional zeros and the 15/16-digit boundary, and each takes the intended path. Confidence: high.

Security: None. The guard only leaves a cell bare when the whole string parses as a finite f64, so formula payloads such as +cmd|… or =SUM(…) still get the apostrophe. Confidence: high.

Performance: None worth raising. The extra parse and allocation run only for text cells that start with a sign or formula character. Confidence: high.

Quality:

• is_long_number's doc says "significant digits", but the code counts trailing zeros in the whole part, so +1000000000000000 (one significant digit) is guarded. The error is in the safe direction (an apostrophe, not lost data), so either trim the whole part's trailing zeros too or change the doc to say "digits". Confidence: medium-high.
• The positive assertions out.contains("-90.1234567") and out.contains("+35.1329460") also match the 12-zero rows as prefixes, so they don't prove those rows are bare. The negative !out.contains("'…") checks do the real work. Anchoring these to a delimiter, as the guarded checks already are, would make the test say what it means. Confidence: high (nit).
• Pre-existing and outside this diff: to_wkt_csv (crates/data/src/interop.rs:472) still uses parse::<f64>().is_err(), so -007, 16–19 digit numbers and exponent forms go out bare there. The two CSV writers now guard different values. Not raised as a finding for this PR. Confidence: high.

AGENTS.md: Nothing found. Non-test code adds no unwrap/expect/panic. Both lossy and clean cases are tested. Nothing is dropped on export, so no notice is needed. The only change is in crates/data/src/io.rs.

Prior reviews: 12 threads were on this PR. I checked the code for 8 of them and they are fixed: 16–19 digit i64 values, exact 2^53 and 2^60 values, 20-digit values, decimals over 15 digits, prefix-collision assertions, trailing fractional zeros, the leading-zero round-trip test and the 15-digit Excel case. I left 4 concerns alone because they were already raised and answered: three on the round-trip type change (signed text now re-imports as Integer/Double, and the PR body now states this) and one on unsigned long numbers being out of scope. Nothing new in those areas needs a comment. I posted no inline comments, since the items above are nits.
