Case contract

Input {gross, taxes, deductions: [[name, amount, priority, allow_partial]], arrears: {name: cents}}. Available = max(0, gross - taxes). Deductions run by ascending priority, ties in input order. Each is due amount + prior arrears; if due fits it is taken in full, else partial deductions take what is left and all-or-nothing deductions take 0. Any unpaid due becomes new arrears (only positive entries). Return {net, taken, arrears}.

Why this case matters

When net pay cannot cover every deduction, ordering and arrears carry-forward decide who gets paid.
