ROOT CAUSE

The annotation sort decision in the annotation ranges adapter violates its declared contract.

THE FAILURE

The annotation sort decision in the annotation ranges adapter violates its declared contract.

Unsuccessful approach: The local repair substitutes (row[1],row[0],row[2]) but still mishandles the regression fixtures.

Case contract

Input [length,annotations,types] annotations [id,start,end,kind,detail,resolved]. Admit allowed types and unresolved annotations with nonempty detail. Clamp half-open ranges, discard empty or reversed. Preserve overlapping annotations; dedupe same ID by first eligible record. Output sorted by start,end,ID. Return [id,start,end,kind,detail]. Spelling, grammar, comment are the only recognized kinds even if types requests unknown types.

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 7 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.
