Split symbol on slash, require at least two nonempty parts, and return the first as organ, last as documentNumber, and intervening parts as series.
Treaty and diplomatic records contain dates, party categories, and explicitly defined term boundaries. Arithmetic can check chronology and counts without determining the legal effect of an instrument.

"input": {

},
"output": {
"organ": "A",
"series": [

"documentNumber": "1"

}Limitations and assumptions
- This generic shape parser does not verify a UN document symbol, organ vocabulary, numeric field, or document existence.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.

Consult the authoritative instrument, depositary records, and qualified legal interpretation for actual status or obligations.
