1.0.0-beta.20 String Search And ASCII Trim Foundation

Scope

1.0.0-beta.20 is a standard-library and compiler-gate slice. It does not change source-language syntax, runtime C, compiler-known runtime names, or ABI/layout policy.

The release adds source-authored std.string helpers:

contains ((value string) (needle string)) -> bool
index_of_option ((value string) (needle string)) -> (option i32)
last_index_of_option ((value string) (needle string)) -> (option i32)
trim_ascii_start ((value string)) -> string
trim_ascii_end ((value string)) -> string
trim_ascii ((value string)) -> string

Contract

Search is byte-oriented over the current runtime string representation. index_of_option returns the first zero-based byte offset for a matching needle, last_index_of_option returns the last zero-based byte offset, and contains is true when index_of_option returns some.

Empty needles are valid:

index_of_option value "" returns some 0
last_index_of_option value "" returns some (len value)
contains value "" returns true

Missing needles return none.

ASCII trim removes only these byte values from the requested edges:

9 horizontal tab
10 line feed
11 vertical tab
12 form feed
13 carriage return
32 space

The helpers compose over already-promoted string primitives:

std.string.len
std.string.byte_at_result
std.string.slice_result
std.string.starts_with
std.string.ends_with

Non-Scope

This scope does not add:

compiler-known std.string.* runtime names for the new helpers
runtime C helper implementations
source-language syntax
Unicode scalar, grapheme, display-width, or normalization semantics
case folding or locale-sensitive search
regular expressions
tokenizer/parser APIs
mutable strings
language slice/view syntax
stable string ABI/layout
stable allocation ownership rules
stable standard-library compatibility
performance claims

Acceptance Criteria

lib/std/string.slo exports all six helpers.
Explicit std.string import examples exercise contains, first/last search, missing needles, empty needles, leading trim, trailing trim, full trim, all-whitespace trim, and no-trim cases.
Local std-layout-local-string examples mirror the public helper surface.
Focused compiler coverage verifies the helpers are source-authored and that direct compiler-known runtime calls for the new names remain unsupported.
scripts/release-gate.sh runs the focused beta20 test.
Generated standard-library API documentation includes the new signatures.
