Encoder flushes all subnormals · case 03

Encoder flushes all subnormals.

Case contract

Encode finite exactly represented dyadic x into sign/4-bit-exponent/3-bit-fraction toy float with bias 7, gradual underflow, round-to-nearest-even and infinity overflow. Return the unsigned byte. The miniature format is stipulated, not a hardware conformance claim.

Why this case matters

An offline floating representation model isolates a reproducible arithmetic fault.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
