Four-item dehydration scale with weight-loss override: override never downgrades · case 03

A severely dehydrated child with 4% weight loss is downgraded to SOME.

Member previewVariant 3 · 3 implementations · 9 checks per implementation

Case contract

Input {appearance (normal|thirsty_restless|drowsy_limp), eyes (normal|slightly_sunken|very_sunken), mucous (moist|sticky|dry), tears (present|decreased|absent), weight_loss_pct (or null)}. Items score 0/1/2 in the listed order. Category: 0 NONE, 1-4 SOME, 5-8 MODERATE_SEVERE. A measured weight loss >= 10% forces MODERATE_SEVERE; >= 3% raises NONE to SOME but never lowers a category. Return {score, category}.

Why this case matters

Ordinal clinical scales combined with an objective override can fail in item mapping, band edges and override direction.

Sample boundary fixture

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