A row-range endpoint builds byte-addressable line record metadata: empty line separators do not allocate logical record numbers · case 01
A row-range endpoint builds byte-addressable line record metadata: empty line separators do not allocate logical record numbers.
ROOT CAUSE
The record-range-byte-index-blank-records decision uses data=x['text'].encode('utf-8') pos=3 if data.startswith(b'\xef\xbb\xbf') else 0 entries=[] bodies=[] while pos<len(data): end=data.find(b'\n',pos) final=end<0 end=len(data) if final else end content_end=end-1 if not final and end>pos and data[end-1]==13 else end terminator=0 if final else end-content_end+1 body=data[pos:content_end] if True: if len(body)>x['cap']: return None entries.append([pos,len(body),terminator]) bodies.append(body.hex()) pos=len(data) if final else end+1 if any(i<0 or i>=len(bodies) for i in x['select']): return None return [entries,[bodies[i] for i in x['select']]].
VERIFIED REPAIR
Apply the bounded decision exactly: data=x['text'].encode('utf-8') pos=3 if data.startswith(b'\xef\xbb\xbf') else 0 entries=[] bodies=[] while pos<len(data): end=data.find(b'\n',pos) final=end<0 end=len(data) if final else end content_end=end-1 if not final and end>pos and data[end-1]==13 else end terminator=0 if final else end-content_end+1 body=data[pos:content_end] if body: if len(body)>x['cap']: return None entries.append([pos,len(body),terminator]) bodies.append(body.hex()) pos=len(data) if final else end+1 if any(i<0 or i>=len(bodies) for i in x['select']): return None return [entries,[bodies[i] for i in x['select']]]
Unsuccessful approach: The partial repair uses data=x['text'].encode('utf-8') pos=3 if data.startswith(b'\xef\xbb\xbf') else 0 entries=[] bodies=[] while pos<len(data): end=data.find(b'\n',pos) final=end<0 end=len(data) if final else end content_end=end-1 if not final and end>pos and data[end-1]==13 else end terminator=0 if final else end-content_end+1 body=data[pos:content_end] if body or terminator==2: if len(body)>x['cap']: return None entries.append([pos,len(body),terminator]) bodies.append(body.hex()) pos=len(data) if final else end+1 if any(i<0 or i>=len(bodies) for i in x['select']): return None return [entries,[bodies[i] for i in x['select']]], which still violates the stated contract.
Case contract
Build a bounded row index over UTF-8 text. A leading UTF-8 BOM is excluded from records but occupies3 representation bytes. LF or CRLF terminates a row; blank rows are ignored. A final unterminated nonempty row is included. Return [entries,selected-hex-bodies], with each entry [absolute-byte-start,content-byte-count,terminator-byte-count]. Enforce a per-record byte cap and nonnegative selected row indices. Selection order and multiplicity are meaningful.
Why this case matters
Range responses combine representation identity, conditional requests, framing, and partial-object state.

Verification & scope
Deterministic simplified range service, with stipulated local policies and already parsed trusted inputs; not a complete HTTP implementation. 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.
