A train stepping from an unlabelled berth loses its description entirely.

Case contract

A train describer has berths 0..n-1. interpose writes a headcode, cancel blanks a berth. step i moves the description from berth i to i+1 (or out of the area from the last berth, recorded in exited); stepping an empty berth carries the unknown description ????. Stepping onto a filled berth records a clash at the destination and the stepped description overwrites it. The source berth is always blanked.

Why this case matters

Interlocking logic decides whether trains may be given authority; a wrong decision at this point either grants unsafe movements or strands traffic.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

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

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
regression: unknown train leaves the area	`{"berths": [null, null], "clashes": [], "exited": [null]}`	`{"berths": [null, null], "clashes": [], "exited": ["????"]}`	Failed
