ROOT CAUSE

The singleline normalization decision in the protected value adapter violates its declared contract.

THE FAILURE

The singleline normalization decision in the protected value adapter violates its declared contract.

Unsuccessful approach: The local repair substitutes if not multiline: value = value.replace('\n','') but still mishandles the regression fixtures.

Case contract

Input [raw,protected,reveal,permission,readonly,multiline,max_length,placeholder]. Raw is a string; max_length is None or nonnegative. Normalize CRLF before applying codepoint cap. In single line replace LF with space. Protected text reveals only when reveal and permission; otherwise one bullet per capped codepoint excluding LF, which is retained. Empty values retain empty text and expose placeholder separately. Return {text,placeholder,length,editable,protected}; length is the length after cap, editable is not readonly, protected reports input flag even when revealed.

Why this case matters

Offline accessibility bridge model with explicit policy; useful for testing semantic API adapters independently of browser implementations.

HELD IN THE MEMBER ARCHIVE

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

This mechanism has 8 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

Stipulated finite adapter contract, not a claim of platform accessibility or ARIA conformance. 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.

Observations recorded using Python 3.12.14 at 2026-09-29T14:45:39.776231+00:00.
