Monthly promotional bonus cap: cap period key · case 01

The monthly cap behaves like an annual cap and later months award no bonus.

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

ROOT CAUSE

The cap counter is keyed by year instead of year-month.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Key the cap counter by calendar month (yyyy-mm).

Unsuccessful approach: Keying by month number alone merges the same month of different years.

Case contract

Input {cap, txns:[[yyyy-mm, base, bonus, exempt_bonus]]}. Base points are never capped. Regular bonus points are capped per calendar month: each transaction receives min(bonus, cap - bonus already awarded that month). Exempt bonus is always awarded and never uses the cap. Return {awards (base + awarded bonus + exempt per txn), total}.

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.
