Right submenu placement forgets the owner-edge overlap · case 01

Right submenu placement forgets the owner-edge overlap.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 9 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

The submenu-edge-placement model applies `p['x']+p['width']` at its right operation instead of the stipulated transformation.

THE FAILURE

The submenu-edge-placement model applies `p['x']+p['width']` at its right operation instead of the stipulated transformation.

Unsuccessful approach: The attempted repair `p['x']-p['overlap']` still violates the right oracle.

Case contract

Submenu placement uses owner edges, overlap compensation, available side space and root-relative coordinates under a stipulated rectangular layout.

Why this case matters

Cascading and context menus require coherent command and session state as content changes.

HELD IN THE MEMBER ARCHIVE

The verified repair and its recorded checks are member-only.

This mechanism has 9 recorded checks per implementation. The open-access tier publishes the failure and the unsuccessful fix; the repaired source that passes every check, and the observations that prove it, are available to members.

Every case sharing this mechanism uses the same contract and the same repair, so this one record is held back for all of them.

Member access is invitation-based. Sign in with your invited account to inspect the repair.

Verification & scope

Offline supplied-valid-payload model; excludes DOM, keyboard, focus, selection, announcements and browser conformance. 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.

Observations recorded using Python 3.12.14 at 2026-09-29T14:42:15.683367+00:00.
