FA-23261 / Autocomplete interactions / Open access

Unresolved autocomplete draft on blur: ambiguous exact-label candidates are arbitrarily auto-confirmed · case 01

The exact completion transition produces an incorrect observable state.

ROOT CAUSE

At blur-resolution/exact, the implementation evaluates `d['exact_ids'][0] if d['exact_ids'] else None` instead of preserving the specified completion transition.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Implement the exact contract using `d['exact_ids'][0] if len(d['exact_ids'])==1 else None`.

Unsuccessful approach: The attempted repair uses `None`, which still violates a normal or boundary completion fixture.

Case contract

This strict-selection picker reverts an unresolved draft to the committed label after blur unless a suggestion pointer acceptance or IME composition is in progress. Exact unique candidate confirmation is an explicit separate transition. Blur never chooses a highlighted candidate merely because it exists.

Why this case matters

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

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.
