Connect completion checks socket error not writability alone · case 01

Connect completion checks socket error not writability alone.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 4 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

The faulty implementation uses `writable` for the connect-completion-checks-socket-error-not-writability-alone decision.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Apply the explicit connect-completion-checks-socket-error-not-writability-alone contract, including the tested boundary and negative cases.

Unsuccessful approach: The attempted repair uses `error == 0` and still violates a separate fixture.

Case contract

Bounded offline decision model: connect completion checks socket error not writability alone. Inputs are already validated protocol fields; the explicit fixtures define the supported policy, not a complete protocol implementation.

Why this case matters

This deterministic connection lifecycle model isolates the connect-completion-checks-socket-error-not-writability-alone 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.
