…mpatibility Julia 1.12 introduced binding partitions (JuliaLang/julia#57133, #57150, #57253) which enforce strict world-age semantics for global bindings. When DocStringExtensions performs method resolution during docstring formatting, the calls happen in a stale world age and fail to find matching methods. This is the same pattern that Julia's own doc system (JuliaLang/julia#57349) and Documenter.jl (JuliaDocs/Documenter.jl#2624) adopted for 1.12 compatibility. Changes: - Wrap all Docs.resolve() calls with Base.invokelatest - Wrap methods() calls in getmethods!() with Base.invokelatest - Wrap Base.return_types() call with Base.invokelatest - Add nothing guard on findfirst/findlast result in TypedMethodSignatures to prevent ArgumentError when no matching tuple is found - Add world-age safety tests exercising all abbreviation types via Base.invokelatest to simulate the stale world-age scenario Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
