FA-13071 / Numerical aggregation / Open access

Merge cross scatter: The incoming block cross scatter is not added. · case 01

The reduction disagrees with its explicit aggregation oracle.

ROOT CAUSE

The incoming block cross scatter is not added.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Preserve the merge cross scatter contract at the identified reduction decision.

Unsuccessful approach: Keeping incoming scatter alone loses accumulated covariance.

Case contract

Merge disjoint integer (x,y) observation blocks. Return count, exact x/y means and unnormalised centered cross scatter as Fraction strings; empty summary is zero.

Why this case matters

Exact bounded examples isolate a reduction defect without floating-point or external-service effects.

Verification & scope

Small offline integer/rational inputs only; no performance, statistical inference, or production-library conformance claim. 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.
