FA-22831 / Autocomplete interactions / Open access

Undoable autocomplete acceptance: hovering a suggestion creates a completion undo transaction · case 01

The hover completion transition produces an incorrect observable state.

ROOT CAUSE

At completion-undo/hover, the implementation evaluates `d['undo']+[d['hover']]` instead of preserving the specified completion transition.

THE FAILURE

At completion-undo/hover, the implementation evaluates `d['undo']+[d['hover']]` instead of preserving the specified completion transition.

Unsuccessful approach: The attempted repair uses `[]`, which still violates a normal or boundary completion fixture.

Case contract

A completion acceptance is one undo transaction containing draft, committed identity and caret. Undo restores the pre-accept snapshot; redo restores the accepted snapshot. A subsequent edit discards redo, transient hover never enters the stack, and history snapshots own their data.

Why this case matters

Autocomplete couples draft text, suggestion identity and asynchronous presentation; this bounded lifecycle model isolates one observable interaction defect.

HELD IN THE MEMBER ARCHIVE

The verified repair and its recorded checks are member-only.

This mechanism has 22 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.

Verification & scope

Stipulated deterministic widget transition model; inputs are validated snapshots. It does not model browser event dispatch, network transport, or linguistic standards. 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.

Observations recorded using Python 3.12.14 at 2026-09-29T14:40:42.169433+00:00.
