Idempotent points event ledger: timestamp tie ordering · case 04

Events with equal timestamps are applied in delivery order, so a redeem can be rejected before its funding earn.

Member previewVariant 4 · 3 implementations · 8 checks per implementation

Case contract

Input {events:[{id,ts,type:"earn"|"redeem"|"reverse",pts,ref}]}. Duplicate ids are dropped keeping the first delivery in input order; survivors are applied sorted by (ts,id). Redeem requires balance >= pts or is rejected. Reverse undoes an applied earn or redeem once; unknown, rejected, already reversed, or reverse targets are rejected. Return {balance, rejected, applied}.

Why this case matters

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