Top two per key: Returns only one row due to a strict comparison · case 02

The query violates its result contract: returns only one row due to a strict comparison.

Case contract

Return IDs of the two greatest known v rows per k, breaking ties by smaller ID; unknown values rank after known values. Inputs are finite relations a=rows and b=refs with columns (id,k,v,w,flag,parent). IDs are unique within each relation, None is SQL NULL, keys are ASCII strings or None, and other values are integers or None. Return an unordered result bag as lists sorted by repr, preserving multiplicity unless explicitly distinct.

Why this case matters

Executes actual in-memory SQLite relational semantics. The fixtures exercise empty inputs, nullable groups, duplicate facts, known zero, negative values, peer ties and partition boundaries. This models the specified query contract, not optimizer performance, disk durability or a complete migration transaction.

Sample boundary fixture

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

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
left facts without references	`[[112], [132], [152], [162], [172], [192], [62], [82]]`	`[[102], [112], [132], [142], [152], [162], [172], [192], [32], [62], [72], [82]]`	Failed
