Summary

|format:inline stays the compact join from PR #1658: Alpha,Beta.

Issue #1701 wanted a space after the comma. Inferring that from option-list whitespace would have changed existing |format:inline templates, and those spaces are mostly template readability (Backlog,In progress,Done in the docs), not an output contract.

The opt-in is |format:spaced. It always joins with ", ":

{{VALUE:option a, option b|multi|format:spaced}} → option a, option b
{{VALUE:option a, option b|multi|format:inline}} → option a,option b

VALUE, FIELD, and FILE share the named format. There is no inference from option-list commas.

Fixes #1701

Changes

  • Add spaced to MultiValueFormat. renderExplicitMultiValue joins inline with "," and spaced with ", ".
  • Restore compact |format:inline on VALUE, FIELD, and FILE. Drop the option-list scanner and ResolvedMultiValueFormat.
  • Capture's explicit-format regex and warning mention |format:spaced.
  • Docs list spaced next to inline for VALUE, FIELD, and FILE.

Testing / validation

  • Targeted parser/formatter tests: 280 passed.
  • pnpm run test: 5099 passed, 37 skipped.
  • pnpm run build-with-lint: tsc, eslint, and production bundle succeeded.
  • GitHub CI (Test, Build + Lint, platform tests, CodeQL) and Cloudflare Pages: green.

Checklist

  • PR title follows Conventional Commits
  • Linked any related issue(s).
  • Noted release/migration impact, if any. Existing |format:inline stays compact. Use |format:spaced for a, b. No migration for templates that already used |format:inline.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added the explicit |format:spaced option for multi-select values.
    • Spaced formatting separates values with a comma and space, such as Alpha, Beta.
    • FIELD and FILE multi-select outputs support the new format.
    • Inline formatting remains compact, using comma-separated values without spaces.
  • Documentation

    • Documented |format:spaced syntax and supported multi-select scenarios.

VALUE |format:inline joins picks with ", " when every option-list comma
is followed by horizontal whitespace. Mixed lists, compact lists, and
FIELD/FILE inline stay ",".

Fixes #1701

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds format:spaced for multi-select values. It joins values with comma-space separators. Inline output remains compact. Parsers, capture detection, formatter tests, regression tests, and documentation use the plain format-string representation.

Changes

Spaced multi-select format

Layer / File(s) Summary
Format contract and rendering
src/utils/multiValueFormat.ts, src/utils/multiValueFormat.test.ts
Adds the spaced format and renders values with ", ". Inline rendering uses ",". Format inputs now use plain strings.
Format parsing and capture detection
src/engine/CaptureChoiceEngine.ts, src/utils/valueSyntax.test.ts, src/utils/FieldSuggestionParser.test.ts, src/utils/fileSyntax.test.ts
Recognizes format:spaced and exposes multi-select formats as strings for VALUE, FIELD, and FILE parsing.
Formatter integration and documentation
src/formatters/completeFormatter.test.ts, src/formatters/formatter-field-title-regression.test.ts, docs/src/content/docs/docs/FormatSyntax.md
Tests spaced output for VALUE and FIELD tokens. Documents spaced output and compact inline output.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 5e3cd

The change adds an opt-in comma-space format while preserving compact inline output for existing templates. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Poem

A rabbit joins the choices with care,
Commas and spaces now bloom there.
Inline stays tight, neat, and small,
Spaced gives room between them all.
Parsers and docs now tell the tale.

A trailing comma in a spaced VALUE list currently forces compact
format:inline output. The next commit should make this pass.

End-to-end review: clean at current head

Re-reviewed current head 6a4d547a8231dc684fad564586a6bf938d5a0bec. The earlier trailing-empty-option spacing defect is fixed by considering only delimiters between surviving fields, with parser and formatter regression coverage. All current hosted checks are green, and I have no remaining actionable findings.

GitHub does not permit approving a PR from its author account, so I am recording the clean review here instead.

Keep |format:inline compact (Alpha,Beta). |format:spaced always joins
with ", ". Option-list whitespace stays a readability choice, not an
output contract. VALUE, FIELD, and FILE share the named format.

Fixes #1701
