FA-18365 / Time representation / Member archive

Biased epoch wire word is encoded as twos complement or signed integer · case 05

The decoded time state disagrees with the explicit regression oracle for word.

Case contract

A clock uses signed 16-bit seconds relative to configurable epoch E and fractional nanoseconds. Source absolute total nanoseconds is exact integer. Convert to canonical seconds/remainder relative to E, mark representability, and serialize biased unsigned seconds word only if in range. Provide saturation coordinate, loss amount, earliest/latest representable total and exact reconstruction.

Why this case matters

Clock transfer and timestamp consumers require preserved coordinate, phase, validity and elapsed-time semantics.

Sample boundary fixture

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