Short right lists recycle their first element instead of null padding · case 03

Short right lists recycle their first element instead of null padding.

Member previewVariant 3 · 3 implementations · 7 checks per implementation

Case contract

Zip two optional lists within each parent row using longest-list semantics and zero-based ordinals. Missing positions become None; two empty or null lists yield one outer placeholder with ordinal None.

Why this case matters

A bounded deterministic data engine model makes representation and changelog faults reproducible.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

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

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
longer left	`[[3, 0, 4, 6], [3, 1, 5, 6]]`	`[[3, 0, 4, 6], [3, 1, 5, null]]`	Failed
