Websocket handshake response must be switching protocols · case 01

Websocket handshake response must be switching protocols.

ROOT CAUSE

The faulty implementation uses `upgrade_ok` for the websocket-handshake-response-must-be-switching-protocols decision.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Apply the explicit websocket-handshake-response-must-be-switching-protocols contract, including the tested boundary and negative cases.

Unsuccessful approach: The attempted repair uses `status == 101` and still violates a separate fixture.

Case contract

Bounded offline decision model: websocket handshake response must be switching protocols. Inputs are already validated protocol fields; the explicit fixtures define the supported policy, not a complete protocol implementation.

Why this case matters

This deterministic websocket and browser transport policies model isolates the websocket-handshake-response-must-be-switching-protocols policy at a network component boundary.

Verification & scope

Bounded deterministic policy model over validated inputs; not a complete protocol stack or an interoperability claim. The five variants rotate the same explicit fixture set. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
