FA-62246 / Currency rounding and FX conversion / Open access

Redenominated amounts are truncated · case 01

Old balances lose up to one new minor unit, and debts shrink toward zero.

ROOT CAUSE

int(v) truncates instead of rounding half away from zero.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Round half away from zero (ROUND_HALF_UP) before converting to int.

Unsuccessful approach: Rounding toward positive infinity over-credits positive balances and under-states debts.

Case contract

solve(amount_minor, date, cutover, factor, old_exp, new_exp): amounts dated on or after the cutover (ISO date strings) are already in the new currency and returned unchanged as [amount_minor, 'native']. Earlier amounts are old-currency minor units: new = amount_minor / factor * 10**(new_exp - old_exp), rounded half away from zero, returned as [new, 'converted']. factor is old units per new unit.

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.
