Description

What is the purpose of this pull request?

This pull request:

• fixes two JSDoc comments in string/base that differ from the convention their sibling packages follow.

Namespace summary. string/base has 60 members: 59 function packages and the distances sub-namespace, which is excluded from the semantic checks. We compared file trees, package.json keys and values, README section order, index.js/main.js JSDoc shape, validation prologues, error construction and dependencies. Every feature had a clear majority (at least 75%). The structural features conform 100% across the function packages.

@stdlib/string/base/repeat

The lib/index.js module example binds the import to replace but calls repeat(...), so the example throws a ReferenceError as written. This renames the binding to repeat. 58 of 59 siblings (98%) use the same identifier in the binding and in the calls.

@stdlib/string/base/slice

@returns in lib/main.js describes the return value as "input string", but the function returns a new substring. This changes it to "output string", which matches the package's own docs/types/index.d.ts and docs/repl.txt and its siblings slice-code-points and slice-grapheme-clusters. Only the for-each* family keeps "input string", because those functions do return their input.

Any other information relevant to this pull request? This may include screenshots, references, and/or implementation notes.

Validation. The structural features were extracted with a script over each package. The semantic features were extracted by agents that read lib/main.js and lib/index.js for every package. A separate review then checked each candidate for intentional deviation and for tests, examples or sibling docs that depend on the current text. Neither change touches runtime code, tests or public signatures.

Deliberately excluded:

• format-interpolate builds its error messages by string concatenation instead of format. This is intentional: string/format depends on it, so using format would create a circular dependency.
• Several packages give the implementation function a different name from the package (lpad, rtrim, kebabCase). These names are internal and not part of the public API.
• percent-encode, atob and format-interpolate each have an open PR, so this PR leaves them alone.
