valueReturns the padded value
Prepends pad_with (repeated, then truncated) on the LEFT until the value reaches target_length, counting Unicode code points, not bytes. Returns the value unchanged when it is already at or beyond target_length or when pad_with is empty; pad_with defaults to a single space. Example: "7" target_length=3 pad_with="0" -> "007". The deprecated success and error out-pins are never emitted.
A typical wiring for pad start: the value out pin feeds convert to uppercase.
