FA-28786 / HTTP redirects / Open access
Commit a redirect chain using terminal document semantics and the original navigation intent: requested versus committed url · case 01
Commit a redirect chain using terminal document semantics and the original navigation intent: the requested versus committed url branch emits an incorrect decision.
ROOT CAUSE
The requested-versus-committed-url decision uses "{'requested':chain[-1],'committed':None if download else chain[-1]}"; this violates the stipulated controller policy.
VERIFIED REPAIR
At this decision use "{'requested':chain[0],'committed':None if download else chain[-1]}", preserving the other controller outputs.
Unsuccessful approach: The partial repair uses "{'requested':chain[0],'committed':chain[0]}" and still fails an explicit boundary or control.
Case contract
Commit a redirect chain using terminal document semantics and the original navigation intent. The explicit fixture inputs and outputs define a bounded offline policy; request identity must accompany the decision.
Why this case matters
Models a redirect controller decision before following a target or exposing a redirect result.

Verification & scope
Stipulated offline redirect policy, not a complete HTTP, browser, URL, cache, or security implementation. Numbered variants vary request correlation identity. 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.
