ROOT CAUSE

Heap handle resolution must reject a foreign owner even with matching slot generation.

THE FAILURE

Heap handle resolution must reject a foreign owner even with matching slot generation.

Unsuccessful approach: The local patch uses [h[2]<=owner for h in hs] and still violates the stated relation.

Case contract

A heap handle is [slot,generation,owner]. A slot table stores [live,generation,payload]. A handle resolves only for matching owner, in-range slot, live slot, and exact generation. Inspect each supplied handle; return per-handle ownership, bounds, liveness, generation match, resolution, and next generation after recycling each slot. Missing resolution is None.

Why this case matters

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

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

A stipulated offline diagnostic model; it does not implement a production allocator, concurrency protocol, or complete heap library. 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 2026-09-29T14:43:29.942491+00:00.
