FA-56976 / Auction allocation rules / Open access
Award objection: objection deposit disposition · case 01
A nonfrivolous unsuccessful challenge loses a refundable deposit.
ROOT CAUSE
A nonfrivolous unsuccessful challenge loses a refundable deposit.
VERIFIED REPAIR
For objection deposit disposition, apply the stipulated decision 0 if x["frivolous"] else x["deposit"].
Unsuccessful approach: The attempted repair uses x["deposit"] if x["upheld"] else 0; the explicit regression cases demonstrate that this still violates the stipulated auction rule.
Case contract
A provisional award challenge has bidder standing, grounds, evidence receipt, hearing outcomes and a limited remedy. Filing preserves the award but blocks finality until all admissible objections are resolved. Dates are ticks and list entries retain filing order. Named decision objection-deposit-disposition: For objection deposit disposition, apply the stipulated decision 0 if x["frivolous"] else x["deposit"].

Verification & scope
Stipulated toy auction rules, not a venue specification, financial advice, optimization claim, or live trading implementation. Nonnegative integer inputs and internally aligned list fields only. 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.
