Defect: lorem count parameters are accepted but ignored

DEFECT-001: lorem count parameters are ignored by runtime generation

Summary

lorem.words(wordCount=5) and related lorem.* count parameters are accepted by the deployed generator but do not control the generated output count. The clearest repeatable case is lorem.words(wordCount=5), which generated three words per row instead of five.

Environment

• Deployed app: https://eviltester.github.io/grid-table-editor/site/app.html
• Story: Bug some commands do not have params defined #286
• PR: [codex] Expand domain command params #294
• Date tested: 2026-07-01

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open the deployed app.
2. Expand Test Data.
3. Switch to schema text mode.
4. Enter this schema:

words
lorem.words(wordCount=5)

5. Set row count to 5.
6. Click Generate.

Expected Result

Each generated row should contain five words, or the app should reject/clarify the unsupported parameter.

Actual Result

Generation completes successfully, but each sampled row contains three words. Final review evidence also showed lorem.words(wordCount=1), lorem.sentence(wordCount=3), and lorem.lines(lineCount=5) not honoring exact requested counts.

Evidence

Local-only replication video: ../videos/defect-lorem-count-params-ignored.webm

Supporting data: ../support/final-review-execute-now-results.json, ../logs/removed-deprecated-test-log.md

Repeatability

Repeatable in the main final review loop and the removed/deprecated subagent lane.

Implemented on branch 286-expand-command-params.

Resolved by adding a Faker argument transform for lorem count/range parameters. The domain metadata uses named params like wordCount, lineCount, sentenceCount, paragraphCount, min, and max, but Faker expects a single positional count/range argument. Those params are now converted before calling Faker, so they are no longer accepted-but-ignored.

The reported cases now pass the requested count/range through correctly:

• lorem.words(wordCount=5) passes 5 to Faker.
• lorem.sentence(wordCount=3) passes the requested word count.
• lorem.lines(lineCount=5) passes the requested line count.

I also applied the same transform to related lorem commands with the same shape: lorem.slug, lorem.paragraph, lorem.paragraphs, and lorem.sentences, including separator handling where Faker expects the separator as the second positional argument.

Seeded sample docs were refreshed because these params now affect output. Regression tests cover transform behavior and parameter usage.

Validation: pnpm run verify:local passed.
