Train describer berth stepping: area exit berth · case 02

Trains leave the describer area one berth early, or unknown trains vanish without trace.

Member previewVariant 2 · 3 implementations · 8 checks per implementation

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.

Sample boundary fixture

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