Fuel in unlisted tanks dropped from the aircraft · case 04

A full tip tank that is not in the burn order disappears from the CG trajectory.

Case contract

Input {'zfw','zfm','tanks':[[name,arm,gal]],'order':[names],'step','density'}. Fuel burns in 'order', one step (or the tank remainder, no carry) at a time; a tank listed again after being emptied burns nothing; unlisted tanks are unusable but their fuel stays on board. CG is sampled at start and after each step. Return [start CG, min CG, max CG, final CG] rounded 2.

Why this case matters

Tank burn sequence determines the CG trajectory in flight; the extreme CG can occur mid-sequence rather than at takeoff or landing.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

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

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
unusable tank left	`[40.66, 40.0, 40.66, 40.0]`	`[41.82, 41.31, 41.82, 41.31]`	Failed
