Start a durable workflow execution: A duplicate start creates a second active execution · case 03

The workflow start operation is admitted even though a duplicate start creates a second active execution.

Member previewVariant 3 · 3 implementations · 9 checks per implementation

Case contract

Return a Boolean admission decision for start a durable workflow execution. The record r must satisfy all of: r['execution_unique'][0] not in r['execution_unique'][1]; r['version_available'][0] in r['version_available'][1]; set(r['input_required'][0]) <= set(r['input_required'][1]); r['parent_live'] == 'running'; r['start_deadline'][0] < r['start_deadline'][1]. Extra tracing fields are ignored; validation does not mutate the record.

Why this case matters

A deterministic local contract for workflow orchestration. Each negative fixture violates exactly one invariant. No transport timing, persistence, cryptographic verification, or full protocol implementation is claimed.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
