Opposite-sign midpoint overflows its endpoint difference · case 03

Opposite-sign midpoint overflows its endpoint difference.

Case contract

Finite ordered binary64 midpoint rendered as hex. Opposite-sign endpoints use half-sums to avoid difference overflow; same-sign endpoints use a difference to preserve subnormal increments. Exact equal endpoints preserve their bits.

Why this case matters

An offline floating representation model isolates a reproducible arithmetic fault.
