Function resolve_length

pub fn resolve_length(scope: &Scope, path: &VarPath) -> Result<i64, String>
Expand description

${#path} length semantics over the shared path resolver. An unset BARE root is length 0 (bash parity for ${#unset}); an unset root under a SUBSCRIPTED path is loud, consistent with bare ${nope[k]} — a typo’d name in while [[ ${#queue[items]} -gt 0 ]] must not silently count 0 forever (2026-07-03 review finding). Missing key, out-of-bounds index, and shape errors stay loud. The resolver borrows the tree — no whole-root clone.
