A persisted partial-response cache record keeps byte coverage and revision metadata intact: the complete representation length is decoded independently of fragment size · case 04

A persisted partial-response cache record keeps byte coverage and revision metadata intact: the complete representation length is decoded independently of fragment size.

Case contract

Decode this stipulated local binary cache envelope: magic RG, version1, flags0, two-byte big-endian generation, two-byte big-endian complete length, one-byte fragment count, then fragments [two-byte big-endian offset,one-byte count,ASCII payload], followed by one checksum byte equal to sum of preceding bytes modulo256. Reject malformed envelopes, bytes outside0..255, trailing bytes, overlapping fragment ownership, or spans outside complete length. Return [generation,total,[[offset,payload],...]]. This is an invented bounded persistence format, not a public protocol.

Why this case matters

Range responses combine representation identity, conditional requests, framing, and partial-object state.

Sample boundary fixture

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

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
length-byte-order fixture 0	`[260, 513, [[0, "ab"], [256, "cd"]]]`	`[260, 258, [[0, "ab"], [256, "cd"]]]`	Failed
