ROOT CAUSE

Antiderivative coefficients are shifted without degree division.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Apply the specified mathematical contract directly, preserving all terms and boundary cases: return ["0"]+[str(Fraction(c,i+1)) for i,c in enumerate(coeff)]

Unsuccessful approach: The zero integration constant is omitted from ascending order.

Case contract

Integer coefficients in ascending power order and integer evaluation bounds; missing high-degree coefficients are zero. Rational outputs are reduced Fraction strings; the zero-polynomial degree is -1. Formal polynomial integral zero constant. Exact operational definition: ["0"]+[str(Fraction(c,i+1)) for i,c in enumerate(coeff)]

Why this case matters

Small exact fixtures expose this error without platform timing, external services, or probabilistic observations. Polynomial arithmetic results depend on the stated convention.

Verification & scope

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.
