Research direction

Read src/io/read_fwf.ts and tests/io/read_fwf.test.ts first, then inspect the exports in src/io/index.ts and src/index.ts. Run the read_fwf tests and review the patch artifact to understand the completed readFwf feature; done means the implementation, tests, playground page, and exports are present and passing.

Description

agentic-workflows autoloop automation

🤖 This PR is maintained by Autoloop. Each accepted iteration adds a commit to this branch.

Program Goal

Build tsb — a complete TypeScript port of pandas, one feature at a time.

Program Issue: #1
Metric: pandas_features_ported (higher is better) — currently 135 (was 134)

Latest Change (Iteration 283)

Added readFwf — fixed-width format reader (mirrors pandas.read_fwf)

What was added
  • src/io/read_fwf.ts — full implementation of readFwf:
    • Auto-infers column boundaries from whitespace patterns across sample rows
    • Accepts explicit colspecs ([start, end] pairs) or widths (column widths)
    • Supports header, header: null + names, indexCol, dtype overrides
    • naValues, skipRows, nRows, inferNrows options
    • Strict TypeScript — no any, no escape hatches
  • tests/io/read_fwf.test.ts — comprehensive test suite (unit + property-based)
  • playground/read_fwf.html — interactive playground page with live demo
  • Exported from src/io/index.ts and src/index.ts

Metric: 134 → 135 (+1)
