fix(w_text): capitalize every word, not just the leading letter - #197
Conversation
`capitalize` ran `text[0].toUpperCase() + text.substring(1)`, so it raised the
first letter of the STRING while its own documentation, the demo gallery and CSS
all promise the first letter of every word. `doc/typography/text-transform.md`
has read "converts the first character of each word" since the page was written,
the gallery's quick reference advertises `Title Case`, and the token is a port of
CSS `text-transform: capitalize`, which raises every word initial.
`references/tailwind-divergence.md` carries no `capitalize` row either, so this
was an accidental gap rather than one of Wind's deliberate divergences.
The gallery is where it hid: the demo row's source string is `The quick brown
Fox`, which already starts with a capital, so the `capitalize` row rendered
identically to the `normal-case` row beneath it and the page proved nothing.
The transform now walks word initials through one hoisted regex, and every part
of that is a decision rather than a default:
- Whitespace runs are re-emitted from a capture group, so two spaces and a
newline survive exactly as typed.
- Leading punctuation is skipped the way CSS does it, so `"quoted words"` is
`"Quoted Words"` and not left alone because the quote mark has no uppercase.
- The rest of each word is untouched, so an acronym the caller passed in stays
intact: `the HTTP client` is `The HTTP Client`.
- A word is a run between whitespace, so an apostrophe does not open one and
`don't` does not become `Don'T`, which is the browser quirk this avoids.
- Each initial goes through the same locale mapping as the rest of the
transform, so under `Locale('tr')` `izleyici ışıkları` is `İzleyici Işıkları`
rather than `Izleyici Işıkları`.
Expect the change on upgrade: any multi-word string carrying `capitalize` now
renders every word capitalised, where before only the leading letter moved.
Five tests, all proved red first: per-word casing, the acronym left as typed,
leading punctuation skipped, whitespace preserved, and the Turkish per-word
mapping. The existing `Hello world` assertion flips to `Hello World`, which is
the reproducer.
The gallery's Text Transform page also gains the Locale-aware Casing section
that the locale fix in #195 landed without, so the post-change sync is complete
for both changes: it renders the same source text under `tr` and `en`, verified
in a real browser in both themes.
All gates green: `dart analyze` clean in both packages, `dart format` no diff,
`flutter test` 1753 passing with the one pre-existing skip, `./tool/coverage.sh
90` at 94.8%, `tool/check-docs.py` 0 issues, and `flutter build web` on the
example.

Both review findings taken, and the first one corrected my assumption rather
than confirming it.
`\P{L}*` skipped ANY non-letter before a word initial, so `123abc` came out
`123Abc`. Measured in Chromium instead of argued from the spec, and it settles
two cases at once: `4th of july` renders `4th Of July` and `_underscore lead`
renders `_underscore Lead`, while `"quoted words"` still renders `"Quoted
Words"`. So the prefix worth skipping is punctuation that SEPARATES words, and
a digit or a connector character joins the word instead (UAX #29 Numeric and
ExtendNumLet). The class is now `[^\p{L}\p{N}\p{Pc}]`, which reproduces all
nine samples I rendered in the browser, `3d printing` included: that one is
`3d Printing`, not the `3D Printing` I had assumed when I wrote the first pass.
The second finding is the house `setUp(WindParser.clearCache)`, which this file
never had. It is the one file in `test/widgets/w_text/` without it, and it pumps
className-styled widgets throughout, so the cache could carry a parse across
tests and turn a regression into a pass.

The second review pass asked whether the hyphen divergence was worth
documenting. It is worth removing instead, and measuring it replaced the model
I had rather than patching it.
Rendered in Chromium: `well-known issue` is `Well-Known Issue`, `read/write
access` is `Read/Write Access`, `u.s.a. today` is `U.S.A. Today` and `a+b=c
sum` is `A+B=C Sum`, while `l'orange soup` is `L'orange Soup`, `wind_ui token`
is `Wind_ui Token` and `3rd party support` is `3rd Party Support`. So the rule
browsers actually apply is not "whitespace separates words, skip the
punctuation in front of one". It is: a letter is raised unless the character
before it continues the word, and the four that continue it are a letter, a
digit, connector punctuation and an apostrophe.
That collapses the pattern to one lookbehind, `(?<![\p{L}\p{N}\p{Pc}'’])\p{L}`,
which reproduces all 23 strings I rendered, including the six the previous pass
got wrong (`Well-known`, `Mother-in-law`, `E-mail`, `Read/write`, `Foo.bar`,
`U.s.a.`). The match is the initial letter alone now, so no capture group has
to carry the spacing back into the replacement, and the whitespace test still
pins that.
Two more tests: the hyphen, slash and dot boundaries, and the apostrophe that
is not one.

The lookbehind class listed the characters that continue a word and left out
the ones that attach to them, so a decomposed letter split a word in half. NFD
`naïve` is `n a i U+0308 v e`, and with no `\p{M}` in the class the `v` read as
a word initial: `NaïVe`. macOS hands text back in NFD and Flutter does not
normalise, so it takes no unusual input to reach, and the precomposed spelling
every other test in the file uses is exactly why nothing caught it.
Rendered in Chromium to check rather than assume, and it agrees: NFD `naïve
approach` is `Naïve Approach`, `éclair shop` is `Éclair Shop`, and
`co<U+00AD>operate now` is `Cooperate Now`, so an invisible format character
continues a word too. The class is now
`[^\p{L}\p{N}\p{Pc}\p{M}\p{Cf}'’]`, which reproduces all 27 strings I have

Both new tests write the code point as an escape rather than pasting the
character, so the source encoding cannot precompose it and pass for the wrong
reason.

The mark and format run was unconditional, so an invisible character standing on its own after a space read as a word continuer and ate the next capital: `hello ` + U+200F + `world` came out `Hello world`. The run now has to follow a word character inside the lookbehind, which keeps the NFD and soft-hyphen cases from the previous commit and restores this one. Rendering it is also what killed the fix that was proposed for it. Chromium gives `CoOperate Here` for `co` + U+200B + `operate here`, so a zero-width space BREAKS a word, where U+200D gives `Ab` and U+00AD gives `Cooperate` and both join. UAX #29 agrees: U+200B is excluded from the Word_Break Format class. So U+200B comes out of the run, and the pattern reproduces all 32 strings I have rendered, up from 29 without it. The pattern writes U+2019 and U+200B as regex escapes rather than pasting the characters, so nothing in this file's source depends on a code point being visible in a diff. Both new tests do the same.

Taken in 18f0631, and rendering it settled the part the review flagged as unconfirmed. The finding is right: the mark and format run was unconditional, so an invisible character standing alone after a space read as a word continuer and ate the next capital. The suggested pattern does not survive the measurement, though. Chromium renders Two more tests: the standalone format character after a space, and the zero-width space that breaks. Both write the code point as an escape. Gates: analyze clean, format no diff, 1760 tests passing, coverage 94.8%, check-docs 0 issues. |

The standalone-format-character finding is fixed and the U+200B correction stands up under measurement - I have no new findings.

* release: 1.5.1 Two fixes, both in `WText`'s casing transforms and both found by driving a real app rather than by reading the code. `uppercase` / `lowercase` / `capitalize` now cast under the ambient locale, so a Turkish app renders `İZLEYİCİLER` and `GÜVENLİK` instead of `IZLEYICILER` and `GÜVENLIK` (#195). And `capitalize` raises the first letter of every word rather than of the string, which is what its own documentation, the demo gallery and CSS have promised all along (#197). The word rule was measured in Chromium over 32 strings, so `well-known` is `Well-Known`, `3rd party` stays `3rd Party`, and decomposed NFD text no longer capitalises mid-word. Expect one visible change on upgrade: a multi-word string carrying `capitalize` now capitalises every word. Five surfaces bumped, the patch-release set: `pubspec.yaml`, `example/pubspec.yaml`, the `dartdoc_options.yaml` source-link tag, the `llms.txt` version string, and the `CHANGELOG.md` promotion with its two link references. `skills/wind-ui/` needs no version move for a patch: the H1, the description prefix and the `1.5.x` marker all still read right, and the skill's own version went to 2.13.2 with the content change in #197. Gates: `dart analyze` clean, `dart format` no diff, `flutter test` 1760 passing with the one pre-existing skip, `./tool/coverage.sh 90` at 94.8%, `tool/check-docs.py` 0 issues, and `dart pub publish --dry-run` clean once this commit lands (the only warning it raised was this bump sitting uncommitted). * release: track 1.5.1 in the example lockfile too `example/pubspec.lock` records the path dependency's version, so it still read 1.5.0 and the first `flutter pub get` in `example/` after this merge would have left a dirty tree. The 1.5.0 release committed this same line for the same reason and its message says so; 1.4.1 omitted it, which is why the entry was stale going into that release. Produced by running `flutter pub get` in `example/` rather than by hand, and the diff is the one line: no `source: path` churn from the gitignored `pubspec_overrides.yaml` this time, and the root `pubspec.lock` is untouched.
