Case contract

Bounded offline decision model: revalidation 304 merges present fields and retains absent fields. Inputs are already validated protocol fields; the explicit fixtures define the supported policy, not a complete protocol implementation.

Why this case matters

This deterministic http caching model isolates the revalidation-304-merges-present-fields-and-retains-absent-fields policy at a network component boundary.

One recorded failure
