Joint-life and last-survivor status: Expectation stops at the shorter table · case 05

Last-survivor expectation ignores years when only the longer-lived table survives.

Case contract

Input lx, ly (independent lives, survival zero beyond each table), status joint|last (else 'unknown status'), t. Joint: tp_x*tp_y; last survivor: tp_x+tp_y-tp_x*tp_y. Return [status survival at t, curtate expectation = sum over k from 1 to the longer table length - 1], rounded to 6.

Why this case matters

Life-table arithmetic compounds across ages, so one misplaced index or assumption shifts every downstream value.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
