Virtual tree active-descendant lease: Active descendant is exposed before mount acknowledgement · case 01

Active descendant is exposed before mount acknowledgement produces the wrong hierarchical widget state in a regression fixture.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 8 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

The virtual-focus-lease contract is violated at `(d['tree']+':'+logical) if ack else None` by replacing it with `logical if ack else None`.

THE FAILURE

The virtual-focus-lease contract is violated at `(d['tree']+':'+logical) if ack else None` by replacing it with `logical if ack else None`.

Unsuccessful approach: The partial repair `(d['tree']+':'+logical) if slot is not None else None` still violates a boundary or preservation case.

Case contract

A virtualized active row keeps its identity while offscreen. Expose an active descendant only after a matching mount generation acknowledges the row; scrolling requests mount without changing selection. A recycled slot must not satisfy an old lease. Collapse repairs the logical active row to the closest visible ancestor before mounting.

HELD IN THE MEMBER ARCHIVE

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

This mechanism has 8 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

Synthetic deterministic hierarchical-widget data contract; not an implementation of a browser accessibility tree. 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 2026-09-29T14:43:18.206077+00:00.
