FA-62201 / Currency rounding and FX conversion / Open access

The conversion carry is never reset between days · case 01

A fraction left over from Monday pays out on Tuesday.

ROOT CAUSE

The day-change branch only runs for the first item.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Reset the cumulative total and previous floor whenever the day changes.

Unsuccessful approach: Comparing only the year-month prefix of the day still carries remainders across days in the same month.

Case contract

solve(items, rate): items are [day, amount] with integer source minor units (reversals negative) in posting order; rate is target minor units per source minor unit. Within a day, each posting's converted amount is floor(cumulative_exact) - floor(previous cumulative_exact), so daily converted postings sum to floor of the day's exact converted total. The carry (cumulative total and previous floor) resets whenever the day changes. Return the list of integer converted postings.

Why this case matters

Currency amounts must be rounded at the right stage and in the right unit, or ledgers, quotes and settlements drift by minor units.

Verification & scope

A deterministic, bounded teaching model with a stipulated toy contract; it makes no claim of conformance to any real regulation, standard, or institution's rules. 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.
