Tie ballot: roster ticket admission · case 01

An outsider obtains a tie-break ticket.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 9 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

An outsider obtains a tie-break ticket.

VERIFIED REPAIR

For roster ticket admission, apply the stipulated decision [t for t in x["tickets"] if t in x["roster"]].

Unsuccessful approach: The attempted repair uses [t for t in x["tickets"] if t not in x["disqualified"]]; the explicit regression cases demonstrate that this still violates the stipulated auction rule.

Case contract

A toy tied-award ballot has a frozen eligible bidder roster, published ticket order, one ticket per eligible bidder, and an explicitly supplied draw index. It is deterministic: no randomness claim. Declined winners rotate to the next eligible ticket without returning the declined bidder to the draw. Named decision roster-ticket-admission: For roster ticket admission, apply the stipulated decision [t for t in x["tickets"] if t in x["roster"]].

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.
