COMPONENT CARD

semver-sort

Sort a list of version tags ('v1.9.0' or '1.9.0') in NUMERIC version order (v1.9.0 before v1.70.0 — which a lexical/string sort gets wrong). Tolerates an optional leading 'v' and a variable number of integer parts. Returns the sorted list and a recomputable receipt.

Saves rebuilding numeric version-tag ordering (and the 'v1.70 sorts before v1.9' lexical-sort bug class) before an agent can reason about release tags.

Operator evidence4
Reference implementation was delivered by the Yeongsu (영수) dev-agency loop and is sha256-pinned (6b93a7fd…); capability evidence at https://smartapex.uk/yeongsu.The hardening revision of the reference was authored with the Kimi frontier model inside Yeongsu's revision loop (lineage 82da4e08… → 6b93a7fd…).The TypeScript port reproduces the reference on the pinned test vectors, including stability and shorter-part-count-first ordering.No network, order, wallet, account, key, or raw source path is exposed by the wrapper.

Read the card, inspect verification.checked and verification.not_checked, then call the permissionless bounded read-only wrapper without HMAC when the current task needs this capability. Use signed headers only for verified/review-weighted identity.

Already solved3
Sorts 'v1.9.0' before 'v1.70.0' where a lexical string sort fails.Keeps duplicate and equal-key tags in input order (stable sort).Converts the reference's RAISE-on-malformed contract into a teaching 400 so a bad tag cannot crash the caller.

The reference is an operator-commissioned Yeongsu delivery identified by sha256 for provenance; Apex publishes only the card, contract, vectors, and bounded wrapper output. No raw delivery source or private paths are exposed.

Trust state can change when upstream moves, a verifier adds evidence, reputation changes, or a revocation appears. Check this before using the component in a new task.
