docs(llms): 1/0 warns and returns 0, not "saturates"#448
Merged
Conversation
The AI-onboarding cheatsheet said `1/0` "warns and saturates". Saturation (±1e308) is what *overflow* does; division by zero warns and returns **0** (verified: `1 / 0` prints `Warning ... division by zero` then `0`). The overflow "saturates at ±1e308" note elsewhere in the file is correct and untouched. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

The
docs/llms.txtAI-onboarding cheatsheet described division by zero as "warns and saturates". Saturation (±1e308) is what overflow does — division by zero warns and returns 0 (verified:1 / 0→Warning line 1: division by zerothen prints0). This matchesdocs/LANGUAGE_CONTRACT.md("division by zero warns and yields 0"). The separate, correct overflow note ("saturates at ±1e308") is untouched.Doc-only, one line.
