FA-40047 / Heap invariants / Member archive

Binomial carry links the adjacent equal rank rather than the tail · case 02

The bounded binomial carry certificate reports an incorrect partner.

Case contract

A consolidation cursor sees ordered ranks and index i. Report whether to link now, current rank, carry rank, suffix retained after a link, triple-collision deferral, and link partner. In three equal consecutive ranks defer the first pair so a carry is not consolidated twice out of order. Empty cursor is allowed.

Why this case matters

This isolates an internal heap representation or priority-structure invariant using deterministic finite records.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
regression certificate 2	`{"carry_rank": 1, "current": 0, "defer": false, "link_now": true, "partner": 0, "suffix": []}`	`{"carry_rank": 1, "current": 0, "defer": false, "link_now": true, "partner": 1, "suffix": []}`	Failed
