Seeking an append descriptor causes an overwrite · case 05

Seeking an append descriptor causes an overwrite.

Member previewVariant 5 · 3 implementations · 6 checks per implementation

Case contract

Deterministic in-memory filesystem model. Open a character file in append mode, seek to nonnegative seek, then write payload. Return [contents,new offset]; zero-length payload leaves the sought offset unchanged in this controlled model.

Why this case matters

An offline semantic experiment for file API clients; it models only the stated operations, not a complete operating system.

One recorded failure
