Disposed invalidation observer retains dirty field names · case 03
Disposed invalidation observer retains dirty field names; the returned lifecycle plan violates the stated transition contract.
Case contract
Plan a listener invalidation accumulator. Dirty field names form an insertion-ordered set; repeated invalidation keeps first order. Exactly one microtask is requested while dirty and unscheduled. A flush atomically detaches the current fields, so dirt arriving during callbacks becomes a later batch. Full invalidation supersedes field names. Disposed observers drop both batches. Inputs are finite state snapshots, including transitional and stale states; output fields are the exact independent actions/metadata defined by the corrected expression table. Numeric fixture capacities and counts vary with N. Field definitions, each independently computed from the input snapshot: fields = list(dict.fromkeys(s['dirty']+([s['incoming']] if s['incoming'] is not None else []))); schedule = bool(s['dirty'] or s['incoming'] is not None or s['full']) and not s['scheduled'] and not s['disposed']; flush_fields = list(dict.fromkeys(s['dirty'])) if s['flush'] and not s['disposed'] and not s['full'] else []; next_batch = list(dict.fromkeys(s['during'])) if s['flush'] and not s['disposed'] else []; full = s['full'] and s['flush'] and not s['disposed']; version = s['version']+int(s['flush'] and bool(s['dirty'] or s['full']) and not s['disposed']); scheduled_after = bool(s['during']) if s['flush'] else s['scheduled']; stale = s['delivered']<s['version']; reentrant = s['flush'] and s['running']; retained = [] if s['disposed'] else list(dict.fromkeys(s['dirty']))
Why this case matters
Observer implementations need to preserve this state while subscriptions enter, execute, and leave their lifecycle.
