Split acronyms, digits and non-ASCII names correctly in NamingConventions

[arnelirobles]

NamingConventions got four things wrong, all from #90.

• An acronym split into single letters, so HTTPServerID converted to h_t_t_p_server_i_d and user_id never filled UserID. The word regex tried the capitalised-word alternative first and it accepted a lone capital, so the acronym alternative never ran.
• address_line_1 did not match AddressLine1, because names were compared word by word and one side has three words. NamesMatch now compares the letters and digits and ignores where the words break.
• The regex was ASCII only, so straße_name did not match StraßeName. It uses Unicode categories now.
• The IMapper overload only filled a member equal to default(T), so a string initialised to "" or a bool initialised to true was never filled. It compares against the value a new destination starts with.

Proof: WordSplittingTests adds 26 cases. 18 failed on main and pass here, the other 8 are controls that pass both ways (different names still refuse, unrelated members stay untouched, a value set by ForMember is kept). dotnet test Mapsicle.sln -c Release passes on net8.0 and net10.0, and dotnet format --verify-no-changes is clean.

Two existing rows in NamingConventionTests pinned the old split (ID as I, D and XMLParser as X, M, L, Parser) and are updated. That is the visible change for anyone calling ToWords or ConvertName on a name with an acronym.

After review: the IMapper overload no longer decides "already mapped" from the value alone. It skips a member the mapper binds (core Mapper.GetBoundMembers) or a MapFrom resolves, and always fills a member initialised to a new instance. Two tests failed before that change: a MapFrom returning "" was overwritten, and a List<string> initialised to new() was never filled. Core gained InternalsVisibleTo for this package, no public API change.

Closes #90

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Naming conventions now recognize acronym sequences, digits, and non-ASCII letters when splitting names. Matching ignores case and word boundaries, so equivalent names such as user_id and UserID can match.
  • Convention-based mapping now fills destination properties that retain their initial values, while preserving values set by the mapper.
• Documentation
  • Updated naming convention guidance with matching rules and examples.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Naming convention word splitting and matching now handle acronyms, digits, and non-ASCII letters. The mapper overload detects unchanged destination properties by comparing them with values from a fresh destination instance.

Word splitting and name matching src/Mapsicle.NamingConventions/NamingConvention.cs, tests/Mapsicle.NamingConventions.Tests/NamingConventionTests.cs, tests/Mapsicle.NamingConventions.Tests/WordSplittingTests.cs, README.md	PascalCase and camelCase splitting now handles acronym runs, digits, and non-ASCII letters. Name matching compares concatenated words without regard to case or word boundaries. Tests cover splitting, conversion, matching, and convention mapping. The README describes these behaviors.
Mapper initial-value detection src/Mapsicle.NamingConventions/NamingConventionExtensions.cs, tests/Mapsicle.NamingConventions.Tests/WordSplittingTests.cs, README.md, changelog.d/naming-conventions-word-splitting.fixed.md	The mapper overload compares destination properties with values captured from a fresh destination instance. Tests cover initialized destination values and values set by mapper configuration. The README and changelog describe the mapper behavior and naming changes.

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 834d1

Some convention-mapped members may remain unfilled, and some mapper-configured values may be replaced. Resolve both mapping cases before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 834d1

The convention fallback can now replace explicitly configured non-default values with source data when those values equal a destination initializer. This weakens configured-member ownership. Security impact depends on how applications use the affected fields; no application-level exploit was established.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · inferred: The convention pass conflates explicit configuration with an untouched destination whenever both produce the cached initializer value. Compared with the base, explicitly configured non-default values can newly be overwritten by source data. Applications relying on configured values to constrain security-sensitive fields could therefore lose that control; no such application consumer was identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The demonstrated exposure is confined to convention-mapping calls and eligible properties of caller-selected model types. Untrusted values could reach those properties when applications map untrusted source objects, but tenant, asset, service, and environment exposure cannot be determined without consumer evidence.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — A conditional attack path is source input to convention fallback to a member explicitly assigned its non-default initializer value by configuration. Equality makes that member eligible for replacement. The existing preservation test uses a different configured value and does not cover this collision; no downstream privilege gain or authorization bypass was verified.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• inferred — The inspected name-comparison flow operates on caller-selected models and conventions, rather than introducing a remote entrypoint or identity transition. Broader name equivalence can nevertheless create multiple convention matches, with existing first-match selection choosing the destination. Actual security impact requires overlapping consumer models and security-relevant fields, neither of which was supplied.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Source access, conversion, and assignment retain per-property exception containment. Snapshot getters also have individual catches, but the newly added destination construction occurs outside that containment. Destination getter exceptions could already escape before this PR and are not a newly introduced concern.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Make configured-member ownership explicit before convention fallback, rather than inferring it solely from value equality. The configuration interface already exposes custom-mapping identity; any broader solution should also define ownership for constructor factories and mapping hooks.

- Line 107: Update the unmapped convention-member detection that uses
_initialValueCache and ReadInitialValues so it does not rely on reference
equality with cached destination values; detect whether the standard mapper
assigned each convention member instead. Preserve the existing exclusions for
directly mapped, ignored, custom-mapped, and conditional members.
- Line 122: Update the convention pass in NamingConventionExtensions to skip
destination members explicitly configured with MapFrom, using mapper metadata
before the equality check against initialValue. Preserve convention mapping for
members without explicit configuration, and add a regression test where MapFrom
returns the destination initializer value and that configured value remains
unchanged.
