TryWithoutIO rewinds the cursor to the pre-parse position when a row's XML doesn't fit in the buffered data. If that position is 0 because the buffer was already completely full (e.g. a >64 KiB inline string), the subsequent RefillAsync could neither compact (start == 0) nor read more (no free space), so it silently reported success without adding any bytes -- causing the TryParseNext/RefillAsync loop to re-parse the same data forever.

RefillAsync now doubles the buffer when it has no free space to read
into. CanReadMore and the synchronous Refill() now size against the buffer's actual length instead of the original fixed constant so they stay correct after a grow.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of large spreadsheet rows exceeding the default scan buffer size.
    • Prevented asynchronous reading from stalling when buffered data is full.
    • Ensured subsequent rows remain readable after processing oversized rows.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for buffer growth and large-row parsing scenarios.

Shorten the ScanBuffer/SheetCursor regression test comments to match
the terser style used by the existing regression test in the same
files. ScanBuffer's XML docs are left as-is — their fuller explanations
are justified there.

Walkthrough

The XLSX scan buffer now uses its rented capacity and grows when a pending token fills the buffer. New asynchronous tests cover refill growth and parsing rows with content larger than the default buffer.

Changes

XLSX scan buffer growth

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dynamic refill handling and regression coverage
src/XLSight/Internal/Readers/Xlsx/ScanBuffer.cs, tests/XLSight.Tests/Readers/Xlsx/ScanBufferTests.cs, tests/XLSight.Tests/Readers/Xlsx/SheetCursorTests.cs
CanReadMore and synchronous refill use the rented buffer length. RefillAsync grows the buffer when compaction leaves no space. Grow preserves buffered bytes while replacing the pooled array. Tests cover full-buffer rewind and rows larger than 64 KiB.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b4fe4

The change prevents parsing from looping on oversized inline strings, but it can now grow the scan buffer without a maximum; sufficiently large or crafted XLSX input may cause excessive allocation or terminate parsing. Merge should wait for a supported size limit and error path, or explicit owner acceptance.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with bytes in my paws,
The buffer now grows without pauses.
Full rows hop right through,
Refill finds room too,
And no scan loop ever stalls.

In `@src/XLSight/Internal/Readers/Xlsx/ScanBuffer.cs`:
- Around line 185-190: Update Grow to enforce a defined maximum buffer/token
size before doubling _buf.Length or calling ArrayPool<byte>.Shared.Rent; detect
overflow and inputs exceeding the limit, then reject them with the parser’s
established parsing error rather than attempting an oversized allocation.

Grow() doubled the buffer with no upper bound, so a token that never
completes (corrupt or adversarial XML) would keep growing until OOM,
and doubling past ~1 GB would overflow the int passed to
ArrayPool<byte>.Shared.Rent. Cap growth at 16 MB, computed in a long to
avoid the overflow, and raise MalformedWorkbookException past that
point -- matching the pattern already used for oversized XLSB records
and VBA streams.
