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 base	`{"balloon": 0, "rows": [[1, 20, 480, 520], [2, 20, 480, 40], [3, 20, 40, 0]]}`	`{"balloon": 0, "rows": [[1, 20, 480, 520], [2, 10, 490, 30], [3, 1, 30, 0]]}`	Failed
