Extended euclidean certificate: first Bezout seed · case 01

The exact extended euclidean certificate result violates the stated contract at first Bezout seed.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 8 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

The first Bezout seed step uses 0,1 instead of 1,0.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Use 1,0 at the first Bezout seed step.

Unsuccessful approach: The partial repair 1,1 still violates the first Bezout seed invariant.

Case contract

Input [a,b], integers not both zero; return [g,u,v] with g>=0 and a*u+b*v=g using standard Euclidean quotient recurrence. Bounds: |a|,|b|<=1000000.

Why this case matters

Exact discrete arithmetic with observable algorithmic state; no floating point approximation is used.

Verification & scope

A deterministic bounded teaching model. Inputs are restricted to the explicit contract; this is not a production algebra library. 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.
