Run a saga compensation action: An upstream step is compensated while dependents remain active · case 02

The saga compensation operation is admitted even though an upstream step is compensated while dependents remain active.

Member previewVariant 2 · 3 implementations · 9 checks per implementation

Case contract

Return a Boolean admission decision for run a saga compensation action. The record r must satisfy all of: r['forward_committed'] is True; all(r['reverse_dependency']); r['compensation_identity'][0] not in r['compensation_identity'][1]; r['resource_version'][0] == r['resource_version'][1]; r['compensation_registered'] is not None. 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.
