# GTR035.1 — Trim requirement-version whitespace (partition fix) **Contract:** repair-only (never touches a working tool). ## Claim Trimming `` whitespace never changes a working tool. ## Proof Galaxy composes the conda spec **verbatim** — `package_specifier = f"{self.package}={self.version}"` (`tool_util/deps/conda_util.py:461-465`), passed as a conda CLI argument — so a whitespace-bearing version **never resolved**: only already-broken requirements are touched. ## Scope boundary `` edge whitespace is the GTR035.2 **advisory** (a display-contract claim — `parse_name` reads raw, `parser/xml.py:220-221`; render-identical in HTML, byte-visible in API JSON — below this fixable bar). `id`/`version` are raw identity keys, excluded entirely (codemod §33 + addendum, check D33).
