Round carryover: inherited reservation · case 01

Carryover drops a binding hold or carries all holds regardless of encumbrance.

ROOT CAUSE

Carryover drops a binding hold or carries all holds regardless of encumbrance.

VERIFIED REPAIR

For inherited reservation, apply the stipulated decision {l:x["holds"].get(l,0) for l in x["standing"] if l in x["encumbered"]}.

Unsuccessful approach: The attempted repair uses x["holds"]; the explicit regression cases demonstrate that this still violates the stipulated auction rule.

Case contract

Unsold auction lots may carry into a later round with explicit seller consent and inherited encumbrances. Standing offers carry only while their bidder authorization survives and may retain or lose priority according to whether lot specification changed. Sale identifiers retain provenance. Named decision inherited-reservation: For inherited reservation, apply the stipulated decision {l:x["holds"].get(l,0) for l in x["standing"] if l in x["encumbered"]}.

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.
