ROOT CAUSE

Eligible spend sums every line including gift cards.

THE FAILURE

Eligible spend sums every line including gift cards.

Unsuccessful approach: Excluding gift cards only from the minimum-spend test still lets them earn base points.

Case contract

Input {lines:[{cat,amount cents}], tax, shipping, tier, promo:{cat:multiplier}}. Eligible spend = non-giftcard line amounts (tax and shipping never earn). Eligible spend below 500 cents earns nothing. Base = floor(eligible/100) computed once per order. Tier points = floor(base*pct/100) with pct base 100, silver 125, gold 150. Promo bonus per non-giftcard category = floor(category spend/100)*(multiplier-1); the order bonus is capped at 1000. Return {base, tier, bonus, total}.

Why this case matters

Member point balances, statements and the program liability depend on this ledger rule.

HELD IN THE MEMBER ARCHIVE

The verified repair and its recorded checks are member-only.

This mechanism has 8 recorded checks per implementation. The open-access tier publishes the failure and the unsuccessful fix; the repaired source that passes every check, and the observations that prove it, are available to members.

Every case sharing this mechanism uses the same contract and the same repair, so this one record is held back for all of them.

Member access is invitation-based. Sign in with your invited account to inspect the repair.

Verification & scope

Stipulated bounded loyalty-program model with explicit toy rules; not any real program terms. 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.

Observations recorded using Python 3.12.14 at 2026-09-29T14:46:45.003461+00:00.
