Prefix expansion applies its budget before finding matching terms · case 04
Prefix expansion applies its budget before finding matching terms.
Case contract
For an arbitrary token dictionary return at most k distinct lexical terms beginning with prefix. Empty prefix matches all terms; k is nonnegative.
Why this case matters
An offline deterministic retrieval model isolates this search contract from tokenization, storage, and network behavior.
One recorded failure
Sample boundary fixtureThis sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
| Boundary fixture | Actual | Expected | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| matching terms past budget | [] | ["z4a"] | Failed |
