FA-7786 / Connection lifecycle / Open access

Connection close notification is emitted once · case 01

Connection close notification is emitted once.

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

ROOT CAUSE

The faulty implementation uses `["notify","release"] if now_closed else []` for the connection-close-notification-is-emitted-once decision.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Apply the explicit connection-close-notification-is-emitted-once contract, including the tested boundary and negative cases.

Unsuccessful approach: The attempted repair uses `["notify"] if now_closed and not was_closed else []` and still violates a separate fixture.

Case contract

Given was_closed, now_closed, leased, connection close notification is emitted once. 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-close-notification-is-emitted-once 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.
