Hensel simple root lift: formal derivative evaluation · case 01
The exact hensel simple root lift result violates the stated contract at formal derivative evaluation.
ROOT CAUSE
The formal derivative evaluation step uses sum(coeff[i]*r**(i-1) for i in range(1,len(coeff))) instead of sum(i*coeff[i]*r**(i-1) for i in range(1,len(coeff))).
THE FAILURE
The formal derivative evaluation step uses sum(coeff[i]*r**(i-1) for i in range(1,len(coeff))) instead of sum(i*coeff[i]*r**(i-1) for i in range(1,len(coeff))).
Unsuccessful approach: The partial repair sum(i*coeff[i]*r**i for i in range(1,len(coeff))) still violates the formal derivative evaluation invariant.
Case contract
Input [coefficients,p,r,k], p prime, r root mod p with nonzero derivative, k>=1; return unique root mod p^k congruent r mod p.
Why this case matters
Exact discrete arithmetic with observable algorithmic state; no floating point approximation is used.

HELD IN THE MEMBER ARCHIVE
The verified repair and its recorded checks are member-only.
This mechanism has 8 recorded checks per implementation. The open-access tier publishes the failure and the unsuccessful fix; the repaired source that passes every check, and the observations that prove it, are available to members.
Every case sharing this mechanism uses the same contract and the same repair, so this one record is held back for all of them.
Member access is invitation-based. Sign in with your invited account to inspect the repair.

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.
