Table clipboard serialization: header label · case 01

The table header label result violates the stipulated table clipboard serialization contract.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 7 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

The header label decision uses "text(c['id'])" instead of "text(c['label'])".

THE FAILURE

The header label decision uses "text(c['id'])" instead of "text(c['label'])".

Unsuccessful approach: The attempted repair "text(c.get('title',''))" still loses a required part of the table contract.

Case contract

Serialize selected rows in current table order and copyable visible columns in schema order. Optional labels precede records, display/raw selection is explicit, None is empty while zero is retained, TSV-special cells use doubled quotes, and records use CRLF without a trailing separator.

Why this case matters

An offline table UI model isolates table clipboard serialization, including adversarial row/column relationships.

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

Source row/column IDs are unique. Cell strings exclude lone carriage returns; quoting models tabs, LF, and double quotes only. Deterministic offline table UI model; no browser, DOM, framework, or standards conformance is claimed. 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 2026-09-29T14:42:59.675771+00:00.
