Failed menu action is appended to command macro playback · case 01

Failed menu action is appended to command macro playback.

ROOT CAUSE

The menu-macro-recording model applies `p['macro']+[p['entry']]` at its failed operation instead of the stipulated transformation.

THE FAILURE

The menu-macro-recording model applies `p['macro']+[p['entry']]` at its failed operation instead of the stipulated transformation.

Unsuccessful approach: The attempted repair `[]` still violates the failed oracle.

Case contract

Menu command macros record successful semantic commands, omit private context data, preserve execution order and retain typed parameter bindings.

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 7 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.
