Release a coordination lease: A release applies to a different leased resource · case 01

The lease release operation is admitted even though a release applies to a different leased resource.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 9 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

The admission path omits the resource match invariant while validating the other operation preconditions.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Require r['resource_match'][0] == r['resource_match'][1] together with every other stated precondition before accepting the operation.

Unsuccessful approach: Adding the resource match check repairs the reported defect, but replacing the adjacent release not seen check loses that independent invariant.

Case contract

Return a Boolean admission decision for release a coordination lease. The record r must satisfy all of: r['owner_match'][0] == r['owner_match'][1]; r['acquisition_match'][0] == r['acquisition_match'][1]; r['resource_match'][0] == r['resource_match'][1]; r['release_not_seen'] is False; r['successor_protected'][0] <= r['successor_protected'][1]. Extra tracing fields are ignored; validation does not mutate the record.

Why this case matters

A deterministic local contract for concurrency. Each negative fixture violates exactly one invariant. No transport timing, persistence, cryptographic verification, or full protocol implementation is claimed.

Verification & scope

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.
