Pairing pass selects each pair by priority rather than child id · case 02

The bounded pairing pass certificate reports an incorrect winners.

Case contract

For delete-min pairing pass, children are [id,key]. Pair adjacent children left-to-right, keeping the left on equal keys. An odd last child survives. Return pair indices, winning ids, losing ids, odd carry id, second-pass traversal order, and comparison count. The second pass folds from right to left.

Why this case matters

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