Insect degree-day accumulation with horizontal cutoff: upper cutoff · case 05

Heat waves add degree-days above the developmental ceiling.

Case contract

Daily max is capped at upper; daily min is raised to base and capped at upper; DD = max(0, mean - base); emergence day is the first 1-based day with cumulative DD >= target; return [cumulative rounded 2, day or None]; None when upper <= base.

Why this case matters

Population projections set harvest quotas, conservation status and pest-control timing; a wrong update order, boundary or rate conversion silently changes management advice.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

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

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
regression: hot spell above cutoff	`[[17.0, 37.0, 59.5], 2]`	`[[15.0, 31.0, 48.5], 2]`	Failed
