ROOT CAUSE

Every sample receives a full interval weight, including both endpoints.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Apply the specified mathematical contract directly, preserving all terms and boundary cases: return str(sum((Fraction(a+b,2) for a,b in zip(values,values[1:])),Fraction()))

Unsuccessful approach: A left rectangle rule omits the right endpoint averaging.

Case contract

Integer sample values and compatible sample-array lengths. Rational results are reduced Fraction strings; spacing is positive unless explicitly stated otherwise. Trapezoidal integral unit grid. Exact operational definition: str(sum((Fraction(a+b,2) for a,b in zip(values,values[1:])),Fraction()))

Why this case matters

Small exact fixtures expose this error without platform timing, external services, or probabilistic observations. Discrete calculus 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.
