# PR-014 - PBS Switch Wildcard Rule Enforcement ## Briefing Switch semantics do not currently enforce all wildcard constraints. This PR enforces: at most one wildcard arm, and rejection of mixed `default` and `_` in the same switch. ## Motivation Wildcard ambiguity weakens deterministic static semantics and conformance. ## Target - Switch expression semantic validation in flow analyzer. - Required static diagnostics for wildcard rule violations. ## Scope - Enforce wildcard-count and wildcard-mixing rules. - Preserve existing selector/type compatibility checks. ## Method - Track wildcard token form used per switch arm. - Emit diagnostics for duplicate wildcard and mixed wildcard spellings. - Keep existing exhaustiveness behavior. ## Acceptance Criteria - Two wildcard arms are rejected deterministically. - `default` + `_` in one switch is rejected deterministically. - Existing duplicate-pattern logic for non-wildcards remains unchanged. ## Tests - Add tests for duplicate wildcard arms. - Add tests for mixed `default`/`_` arms. - Run semantic control-flow suite. ## Non-Goals - New switch syntax. - Runtime switch lowering changes.
