Multi-value register: a new write summarizes only the first sibling · case 03
A write meant to resolve a conflict leaves the other concurrent value alive.
Case contract
Each replica holds siblings [value, version vector]. ["write", r, v] builds the pointwise maximum of all current sibling vectors, increments r's entry, and replaces all siblings with [v, vector]. ["merge", s, d] pools both sibling lists, drops siblings strictly dominated by another pooled sibling, and keeps one copy per identical vector. Return sorted values per replica.
Why this case matters
Multi-value registers expose concurrent writes as siblings instead of silently discarding one.
One recorded failure
Sample boundary fixtureThis sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
| Boundary fixture | Actual | Expected | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| a write after merge supersedes all siblings | [["x", "z3"], ["z3"], ["z3"]] | [["z3"], ["z3"], ["z3"]] | Failed |
