Carmichael number predicate · case 01
A base-two Fermat congruence admits primes as Carmichael numbers.
ROOT CAUSE
A base-two Fermat congruence admits primes as Carmichael numbers.
VERIFIED REPAIR
Apply the specified mathematical contract directly, preserving all terms and boundary cases: return n>2 and any(n%d==0 for d in range(2,math.isqrt(n)+1)) and all(pow(a,n-1,n)==1 for a in range(2,n) if math.gcd(a,n)==1)
Unsuccessful approach: Requiring compositeness still accepts pseudoprimes that fail other coprime bases.
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. n is a nonnegative integer; return true precisely for composite n satisfying a**(n-1)=1 modulo n for every a coprime to n. Exact operational definition: n>2 and any(n%d==0 for d in range(2,math.isqrt(n)+1)) and all(pow(a,n-1,n)==1 for a in range(2,n) if math.gcd(a,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.
