Rejected MERGE returns a source-modified target · case 02

Rejected MERGE returns a source-modified target.

Case contract

Merge source [key,value] into a target unique-key table. Any repeated source key is CARDINALITY and leaves target unchanged; otherwise matched keys replace payloads and unmatched keys insert. Return status and sorted final rows. Source null keys are ordinary distinct keys in this stipulated integer-key model only (inputs here are integer keys).

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
new duplicate keys	`["CARDINALITY", [[10, 3]]]`	`["CARDINALITY", []]`	Failed
