Idle car parking by zone: zone size rounding · case 02

An extra tiny zone appears at the top, or zones are too large when floors divide evenly.

Member previewVariant 2 · 3 implementations · 8 checks per implementation

Case contract

The building is split into zones of ceil(floors/zones) floors; each zone base floor is a parking target. Up-peak adds an extra lobby target first (lobby gets two cars); down-peak orders the bases from the top down; otherwise bases ascend. Each target in order takes the nearest free car (ties to the lowest car id); leftover targets stay empty.

Why this case matters

Lift group controllers make these decisions many times per minute; a wrong answer strands passengers, wastes trips or overrides a safety rule.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

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

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
regression: ten floors in three zones	`{"C1": 6, "C2": 3, "C3": 0}`	`{"C1": 8, "C2": 4, "C3": 0}`	Failed
