FA-4626 / Iterator consumption / Open access

Any short circuit consumption · case 01

The operation returns a result or retained state that violates this contract: Apply any to a one-pass stream and return [truth result,unconsumed suffix].

ROOT CAUSE

Materializing input eagerly defeats short-circuit consumption.

THE FAILURE

Materializing input eagerly defeats short-circuit consumption.

Unsuccessful approach: Inspecting only the first value misses later truthy values.

Case contract

Apply any to a one-pass stream and return [truth result,unconsumed suffix]. Inputs are the finite Python values shown by the executable fixtures; no concurrent execution is assumed.

Why this case matters

A controlled local-runtime regression for collection APIs, language semantics, or ownership wrappers. Fixtures include boundary and interaction cases.

HELD IN THE MEMBER ARCHIVE

The verified repair and its recorded checks are member-only.

This mechanism has 4 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

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.
