Schedule rows from a fixed payment: interest-only guard · case 03

A payment that exactly equals interest produces rows that never reduce principal.

Case contract

x = {'principal', 'rate_bp', 'payment', 'max_months'}. For months 1..max_months while the balance is positive: interest = round_half_up(balance*bp/120000); if payment <= interest return {'error': 'negative_amortization', 'month': k}; principal paid = min(payment - interest, balance); append [k, interest, principal, balance after]. Return {'rows', 'balloon': remaining principal}.

Why this case matters

Amortization engines drive borrower statements, payoff quotes and investor remittances; a misplaced rounding step, boundary or ordering rule compounds across hundreds of periods.

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
regression: interest-only guard	`{"balloon": 250000, "rows": [[1, 5000, 0, 250000], [2, 5000, 0, 250000], [3, 5000, 0, 250000]]}`	`{"error": "negative_amortization", "month": 1}`	Failed
