ROOT CAUSE

A square-root divisor is counted twice.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Apply the specified mathematical contract directly, preserving all terms and boundary cases: return sum(n%d==0 for d in range(1,n+1))

Unsuccessful approach: Excluding the root loses its one contribution and misses nonsquare boundary factors.

Case contract

Integer inputs; n is positive unless a zero or negative fixture explicitly extends that operation. A modulus is greater than one; p is prime; exponent k may be signed when an inverse exists. Divisor count square root pair. Exact operational definition: sum(n%d==0 for d in range(1,n+1))

Why this case matters

Small exact fixtures expose this error without platform timing, external services, or probabilistic observations. Number theory results depend on the stated convention.

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.
