Fixes a chat-styling bug found in live testing: the AI couldn't correctly handle "highlight/color cells that contain numbers" (or "cells with numbers").

The bug (reproduced live)

  • "change all cells with numbers to red" → proposed "Highlight cells containing to" (captured a stop-word).
  • "highlight cells that contain numbers red" → proposed highlighting cells containing "red" (captured the color word).

Root cause (two compounding defects)

  1. Value mis-extraction. shared/formatContains.ts's extractCellContainsValue listed number/numbers as filler words to skip, so "cells with numbers to red" stripped "numbers" and captured the next token ("to"/"red").
  2. No is-numeric condition existed. format_cells operators were only eq/lt/gt/lte/gte/contains/negative/positive — no way to express "cells whose value is a number" (a type condition). The phrase got mis-routed to the literal-substring contains tool.

Fix

  • New is_number condition operator, added in lockstep across every evaluator/validator: shared/toolTypes.ts (union), src/lib/formatCellsTool.ts (validOps + bare-string + cellMatchesCondition), src/sandbox/api.ts (findCells), src/agent/toolHandlers/queryOps.ts (countValueMatches), plus the server-facing shared/toolRegistry.ts description and server/src/prompt.ts example. Matches iff a non-blank cell's display parses to a finite number (reuses parseNumericDisplay → currency/percent/parenthesized negatives count; blanks and text do not).
  • New highlight_numbers capability (shared/capabilities.js) with examples for the real phrasings; pre-empts highlight_contains via deterministic parser routing + highlight_contains deferring to a clarification when the "value" is really "numbers"/a stop-word.
  • Extraction fix: extractCellContainsValue now returns null for "numbers"/stop-word/color captures (so it defers instead of proposing nonsense), while "highlight cells containing 4" still returns "4" (regression preserved).
  • Guard against confusion with number formatting: the numeric trigger is scoped to plural/typed forms (numbers/numeric) with an explicit !number format / !format as guard, mirrored on client and server.

Design + review

Reviewed design loop (3 revisions, APPROVED — caught and fixed a "number format" over-trigger) and an implement-and-review loop (semantic reviewer APPROVED). One non-blocking NIT noted: parser.ts keeps a duplicate local COLOR_WORD_RE rather than the new shared export — cosmetic, deferred.

Scope (untouched)

Apply-posture allowlist (format_cells is already auto-eligible, so "make numbers red" applies instantly in Auto mode — no change needed), F9/F10/F11, subscription code, ActionCard. No new deps.

Verification

tsc clean; vitest 2211 passed (171 files); build OK. Tests cover: extraction defers "numbers"/"to"/"red" but keeps "4"; is_number matches currency/percent, excludes blank/text; highlight_numbers resolves the real phrasings to is_number with parsed color.

Summary by Sourcery

Enable reliable highlighting and querying of numeric cells while preserving literal contains and other formatting intents.

New Features:

  • Add an is_number formatting condition that targets non-blank cells with numeric display values, including currency, percentages, and parenthesized negatives.
  • Add a highlight_numbers capability for highlighting numeric cells with parsed color intent.

Bug Fixes:

  • Correct numeric-cell highlighting requests so they no longer misinterpret numbers, stop words, or colors as literal contains values.
  • Preserve literal contains matching for explicit values such as 4 and quoted words.
  • Prevent numeric highlighting from intercepting negative-value, bold, font-color, or number-format requests.

Enhancements:

  • Align numeric matching, validation, routing, and capability resolution across client, server, sandbox, and agent query paths.
  • Centralize color recognition and improve contains-value extraction safeguards.

Documentation:

  • Add numeric-cell formatting guidance to the server-facing tool prompt.

Tests:

  • Add coverage for numeric matching across formatting, sandbox lookup, row counting, capability resolution, and message parsing.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • You can now highlight cells containing numeric values, including currency and percentage values. Specify a highlight color, or use the default red.
    • You can count rows and find cells based on whether they contain numeric values.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Number-highlighting requests are distinguished from number-formatting requests and requests to find cells containing a specific value.

Fixes "change all cells with numbers to red" / "highlight cells that
contain numbers red" mis-routing to a garbage contains literal (to/red).

- shared/toolTypes.ts: add 'is_number' to FormatConditionOperator.
- shared/formatContains.ts: drop plural 'numbers' from the filler-skip
  group and reject stop/type/color words via exported CONTAINS_STOP_WORDS
  so a "contains numbers" phrase returns null and defers to highlight_numbers.
- shared/colorMaps.ts: export shared COLOR_WORD_RE.
- shared/toolRegistry.ts: advertise is_number in the condition description.
- shared/capabilities.js/.d.ts: new highlight_numbers capability +
  numeric_format param strategy.
- shared/actTemplates.ts: numeric branch (after negative/equals, before
  contains), plural-only trigger + number-format guard, bgColor red default.
- src/lib/formatCellsTool.ts: is_number in validOps, bare-string branch,
  and evaluator (non-blank display parses to finite number via
  parseNumericDisplay).
- src/sandbox/api.ts: is_number case in findCells (parseNumericDisplay).
- src/agent/toolHandlers/queryOps.ts: is_number in count_rows (supported
  set, value guard, countValueMatches).
- src/ai/capabilities/resolveParams.ts: numeric_format case + STOP-word
  backstop on the contains_value fallback capture.
- src/agent/parser.ts: Tier-1 numeric block after negatives, plural-only
  trigger, !number-format guard, bgColor red default.
- server/src/prompt.ts: is_number background-fill example.

Verification (run from .worktrees/highlight-numbers; reviewer need not re-run):
- Client: npx tsc --noEmit -> clean
- Client: npx eslint <changed client/shared files> --max-warnings 0 -> 0 warnings
- Client: npx vitest run -> 171 files, 2211 tests passed
- Client: npm run build -> built OK
- Server: cd server; npx tsc --noEmit -> clean
- Server: cd server; npx vitest run -> 44 files, 623 tests passed
  (server node_modules installed via npm install first)
- registry.test.ts.snap autocrlf-only change restored, not committed.

📝 Walkthrough

The change adds an is_number condition for matching nonblank cells with finite numeric display values. Request handling can use the condition to highlight numeric cells, and cell formatting, row counting, and lookup support it.

Changes: Numeric cell highlighting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define and apply the numeric condition
shared/toolTypes.ts, shared/toolRegistry.ts, src/lib/formatCellsTool.ts, src/lib/formatCellsTool.test.ts
is_number is added as a formatting condition. The formatter matches nonblank displayed values that parse as finite numbers. Tests cover accepted condition shapes, numeric displays, and formatting results.
Route highlighting requests
server/src/prompt.ts, shared/actTemplates.ts, shared/capabilities.*, shared/colorMaps.ts, shared/formatContains.ts, shared/formatContains.test.ts, src/agent/parser.ts, src/agent/parser.test.ts, src/ai/capabilities/resolveParams.ts, src/ai/capabilities/__tests__/capabilities.test.ts
Parser and capability paths route numeric-highlighting requests to is_number, using a recognized color or defaulting to red. Stop-word handling distinguishes number types and colors from literal contains values. Tests cover negative numbers, literal values, and number-format requests.
Use the condition in cell operations
src/agent/toolHandlers/queryOps.ts, src/agent/toolHandlers/queryOps.test.ts, src/sandbox/api.ts, src/sandbox/api.test.ts
count_rows and findCells accept is_number and match nonblank values that parse as finite numbers. Tests cover numeric values, formatted numeric displays, text, and blanks.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d001f

Requests that mention numbers, such as making numeric cells bold, can incorrectly receive a red background. Highlighting cells that contain a quoted color word can format the whole selection. These routing problems should be fixed before merging. Smaller mismatches affect $-only cells and black or white highlights.

Preserve explicitly quoted contains values.

If the user asks to highlight cells containing "red", this filter rejects the literal. resolveActTemplates can then apply a red background without a condition, which targets the selection rather than cells containing "red". Retain whether the capture was quoted, and reject color words only when they are unquoted formatting cues.

Require a highlight intent before creating a numeric fill. Both routes treat numeric wording as a request for a red background even when the user requested another operation. “Make numeric cells bold” loses bold; the parser also turns “change numeric values to 0” into a fill.

**Sandbox API docs omit numeric matching**

Script authors following the documented `findCells` signature will not know that `is_number` is supported, so they cannot use the new numeric-match condition from the documented API.

Update the sandbox API documentation signature to include `is_number`.
</issue_to_address>

Fix all in Cursor

Sourcery assessment

Needs a human reviewer. If the new numeric condition targets the wrong cells, applying it writes fill formatting into the workbook. Reverting stops future applications but does not remove fills already saved; the affected formatting is bounded and can be cleared or reapplied.

Comment thread src/sandbox/api.ts
extractCellContainsValue rejected any captured stop/color word (number,
red, etc.) unconditionally, so a deliberate literal search like
highlight cells containing "red" was wrongly discarded. The regex now
captures whether the value was quoted; the stop-word guard applies ONLY
to unquoted captures. An unquoted color/type cue still defers to
highlight_numbers (unchanged); a quoted value is kept as a literal
contains.

The resolveParams contains_value fallback was also re-checking stop-words
unconditionally, which would undo the fix on the primary path, so it now
trusts extractCellContainsValue's quote-aware result and only guards the
looser fallback regex.

3 new tests pin the quoted-literal behavior; all existing cases unchanged.
Verified: tsc clean, eslint 0 warnings, 83 related tests pass.

Addresses a CodeRabbit review finding on PR #58 (verified valid against
current code).
The numeric-cell highlight branch (added with the is_number operator) was
too greedy about intent, so phrasings that aren't background-fill requests
got swallowed as a highlight:

- Client (src/agent/parser.ts): the trigger included bare change/make, so
  "make numeric cells bold" and "change the numeric values to 0" produced a
  background fill instead of falling through. The branch now requires a real
  highlight/fill verb (highlight/color/mark/shade/fill) OR an explicit color
  word; "make numbers red" still works via the color word.
- Server (shared/actTemplates.ts): within resolveFormattingTemplate the
  numeric branch pre-empted the generic bold / font-color handlers, so
  "make numeric cells bold" became a highlight. It now requires highlight/fill
  or a color word AND excludes bold / text/font/writing intent, so those fall
  through to the bold and font-color handlers. (The formatting RULE's own gate
  already keeps non-format requests like "sum of the numbers" from reaching
  this resolver at all.)

Both branches only ever emit a background fill, so gating on explicit
highlight/color intent is the correct scope. "highlight cells with numbers"
and "color numeric cells blue" still route to is_number.

Regression tests: client parser (color/highlight numeric still is_number;
bold / value-change do NOT); server actTemplates numeric-highlight gating
(highlight/color -> is_number; bold -> bold:true not is_number; numeric font
color -> not is_number). tsc clean, eslint 0 warnings, 103 related tests pass,
build OK.

Addresses a CodeRabbit review finding on PR #58 (verified valid against
current code).
