A concrete starting point
Find the shortest unit whose repetitions exactly form a string of at most 256 Unicode code points. Test empty text and a nonperiodic string, preserving combining marks without normalization or partial final repetitions.
Define the change
Describe the input, expected output and boundaries that must stay intact.
Inspect the work
Review the proposed edits and any commands before relying on their result.
Check the outcome
Compare actual behavior with the expected result. If a check fails, investigate it before applying more changes.
