ROOT CAUSE

The saved state aliases a mutable color list and changes when current state changes.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Use the stage contract: State maps names to flat lists and contains four-channel color. Save a snapshot, mutate a current color channel, and return the untouched full snapshot; do not mutate input.

Unsuccessful approach: Saving only color omits viewport and other render state from restoration.

Case contract

State maps names to flat lists and contains four-channel color. Save a snapshot, mutate a current color channel, and return the untouched full snapshot; do not mutate input.

Why this case matters

A deterministic software graphics stage with explicit channel and coordinate conventions; no hardware, device profile or API behavior is inferred.

Verification & scope

This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
