Award assignment: assigned unpaid units · case 01

Assignment charges prepaid units or applies all prepayment to only the transferred tranche.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 10 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

Assignment charges prepaid units or applies all prepayment to only the transferred tranche.

VERIFIED REPAIR

For assigned unpaid units, apply the stipulated decision min(x["assign"],max(0,x["award"]-x["paid_units"])).

Unsuccessful approach: The attempted repair uses max(0,x["assign"]-x["paid_units"]); the explicit regression cases demonstrate that this still violates the stipulated auction rule.

Case contract

A winning bidder assigns an award subject to buyer, seller and assignee consents. Assignment transfers only undelivered units and the matching unpaid obligation. Partial assignments preserve original provenance and do not release an original guarantee without novation. Named decision assigned-unpaid-units: For assigned unpaid units, apply the stipulated decision min(x["assign"],max(0,x["award"]-x["paid_units"])).

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.
