Cancelled reward reinstatement: same-expiry merge · case 01

Two lots that end up with the same grace expiry show only the last lot points.

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

ROOT CAUSE

Reinstated points overwrite an existing lot with the same expiry instead of adding to it.

THE FAILURE

Reinstated points overwrite an existing lot with the same expiry instead of adding to it.

Unsuccessful approach: Keeping the larger of the two lots still drops points.

Case contract

Input {redemption:{day, sources:[[lot_expiry, pts]]}, cancel_day, grace, max_age}. Cancelling more than max_age days after the redemption returns {"error":"too late"}. Each source lot is reinstated with its original expiry if that expiry is on or after the cancel day, otherwise with expiry cancel_day + grace. Lots with the same resulting expiry are merged. Return {lots:[[expiry,pts]] by expiry, 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 7 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.
