Connection attempt timeout is separate from read timeout · case 01

Connection attempt timeout is separate from read timeout.

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

ROOT CAUSE

The faulty implementation uses `min(remaining,read_timeout)` for the connection-attempt-timeout-is-separate-from-read-timeout decision.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Apply the explicit connection-attempt-timeout-is-separate-from-read-timeout contract, including the tested boundary and negative cases.

Unsuccessful approach: The attempted repair uses `connect_timeout if phase == "connect" else read_timeout` and still violates a separate fixture.

Case contract

Given phase, connect_timeout, read_timeout, remaining, connection attempt timeout is separate from read timeout. Return the protocol decision or transformed value; fields are validated and fixtures state boundary outcomes.

Why this case matters

This deterministic connection lifecycle model isolates the connection-attempt-timeout-is-separate-from-read-timeout 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.
