The parser accepted five shapes. Three of them (9, 10, 11/12) differ only
by trailing columns that have sane defaults, and those are worth keeping:
39 of the catalogue's descriptors stop at nine because they are
non-Traefik ports — DNS, SMTP, WireGuard UDP — with no subdomain to
state. A short row there is a complete row.
The other two were different animals. The 8-column legacy layout has no
login column and the 7-column one has no parent either, so they SHIFT
every position rather than omitting a tail: whenever the length was
misread, each field after the shift silently took its neighbour's value —
a port's access type reading from its protocol, and so on. That is the
same class of fault the word-splitting bug in this file just caused, and
it is invisible when it happens.
Nothing needs them. All 74 descriptors in the catalogue carry nine or
more, as does every one on this install. So they are refused now, with a
notice naming the offending key: a skipped port is visible, a mis-parsed
one is not.
Checked that skipping a row cannot misalign the parallel arrays —
port_config_data and port_config_vars are appended before the branch, but
neither is ever indexed alongside the others; the former is only tested
for emptiness.
Verified across every shape: 9, 10, 11 and 12 parse with the right
defaults, a label containing spaces survives intact next to an empty
trailing column, and both legacy layouts are refused rather than guessed.
