03
A concrete starting point
Strip PKCS#7 padding from nonempty bytes aligned to a block size of 1–255. Check full-block padding and reject inconsistent bytes, zero counts or excessive counts without treating padding as authentication.
Define the change
Describe the input, expected output and boundaries that must stay intact.
Inspect the work
Review the proposed edits and any commands before relying on their result.
Check the outcome
Compare actual behavior with the expected result. If a check fails, investigate it before applying more changes.
