Replacement selection freezes only keys that would decrease the output run · case 01

The bounded replacement selection certificate reports an incorrect frozen.

ROOT CAUSE

Replacement selection freezes only keys that would decrease the output run.

THE FAILURE

Replacement selection freezes only keys that would decrease the output run.

Unsuccessful approach: The local patch uses [] and still violates the stated relation.

Case contract

A replacement-selection external-sort heap receives last emitted key and new records [id,key]. Keys >=last remain active for current run; smaller keys freeze for next run. Return active ids, frozen ids, active sorted order, frozen sorted order, next current-run key, and end-run flag. Equal keys stay active.

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.
