Multi-value register: repeated writes by one replica reuse the same counter · case 03
A replica's second write carries the same vector as its first and loses against the stale value.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| stale local sibling is replaced | [["new3"], ["old"], []] | [["new3"], ["new3"], []] | Failed |
