Award assignment: assignment provenance · case 01

Assignment overwrites original award provenance or reverses transfer parties.

ROOT CAUSE

Assignment overwrites original award provenance or reverses transfer parties.

VERIFIED REPAIR

For assignment provenance, apply the stipulated decision [x["new_id"],x["source_id"],x["original"],x["assignee"]].

Unsuccessful approach: The attempted repair uses [x["new_id"],x["source_id"],x["assignee"],x["original"]]; 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 assignment-provenance: For assignment provenance, apply the stipulated decision [x["new_id"],x["source_id"],x["original"],x["assignee"]].

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.
