Refund points clawback: debt accumulation · case 01

Only the most recent shortfall is shown as debt after several refunds.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 7 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

Debt is overwritten by each refund shortfall instead of accumulated.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Add each shortfall to the running debt.

Unsuccessful approach: Keeping the largest single shortfall still understates total debt.

Case contract

Input {earned, order_total, refunds:[cents], balance}. Cumulative refunds are capped at the order total. After each refund the cumulative clawback target is round-half-up(earned*cumulative refund/order total); the refund claws target minus already clawed. A clawback is taken from the balance only down to zero; the shortfall accumulates as debt. Return {claws, balance, debt}.

Why this case matters

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

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.
