Negative amortization cap recast: cap check timing · case 04

The recast is detected a month after the balance crosses the cap.

Case contract

x = {'principal', 'rate_bp', 'min_payment', 'cap_pct_bp' (e.g. 11000 = 110% of principal), 'months'}. Each month interest = round_half_up(balance*bp/120000); the shortfall interest - payment (if positive) is deferred; balance += interest - payment. The first time balance*10000 exceeds principal*cap_pct_bp the loan recasts once: payment = level(balance, months - k) (exact annuity, half-up). Return {'balance', 'recast_month' or None, 'deferred', 'payment'}.

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.
