Sequential plan changes within one cycle: current price tracking · case 01

The second plan change credits the original plan instead of the plan in effect.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 8 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

The current price is not advanced after a change.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Restore the contract rule at the current price tracking step: use `cur = p`.

Unsuccessful approach: The attempt sets the current price to the first change for every later change.

Case contract

Input {start, end, initial price, changes: [[t, price]]}. Changes are ordered by time; at equal times only the last applies. A change outside [start, end) or to the current price is ignored. Each effective change emits a credit line -(current*(end-t)/span) and a debit line new*(end-t)/span, magnitudes half-up, and the new price becomes current. Return the list of line amounts.

Why this case matters

Customers who change plans several times in a cycle must be credited for the plan they actually had at each change.

Verification & scope

A deterministic teaching model of a stipulated billing rule. It makes no claim to reproduce any billing provider's exact behaviour and is not billing software. 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.
