ROOT CAUSE

A constant coordinate is assigned a measured perfect association.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Preserve the tie adjusted concordance squared contract at the identified reduction decision.

Unsuccessful approach: Zero association is also a measured value, not the undefined normalization sentinel.

Case contract

For paired ordinal observations return sign(tau_b)*tau_b**2 as an exact Fraction string. Every unordered observation pair contributes its coordinate comparison; normalize signed concordance squared by products of non-tied x/y pair counts. Undefined if either coordinate has no varying pairs.

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.
