Equal projections start whoever was listed first · case 01

Two WRs projected equally swap between starter and bench depending on roster order.

ROOT CAUSE

The sort key omits the name tie-breaker, so input order decides ties.

THE FAILURE

The sort key omits the name tie-breaker, so input order decides ties.

Unsuccessful approach: Breaking ties by position string still leaves same-position ties to roster order.

Case contract

Players are [name, position, projection tenths, status]. OUT and BYE players are ineligible; Q (questionable) players are eligible. Rank by projection descending, name ascending on ties. Fill QB x1, RB x2, WR x2, TE x1, then one FLEX from the best remaining RB/WR/TE (kickers and QBs never flex). Return the slot lists and the total projection.

Why this case matters

Start/sit optimizers must respect slot eligibility and deterministic tie-breaks or users see lineups flip between refreshes.

HELD IN THE MEMBER ARCHIVE

The verified repair and its recorded checks are member-only.

This mechanism has 7 recorded checks per implementation. The open-access tier publishes the failure and the unsuccessful fix; the repaired source that passes every check, and the observations that prove it, are available to members.

Every case sharing this mechanism uses the same contract and the same repair, so this one record is held back for all of them.

Member access is invitation-based. Sign in with your invited account to inspect the repair.

Verification & scope

A deterministic toy scoring contract stipulated for this example; it is not the rulebook of any real fantasy platform. 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.

Observations recorded using Python 3.12.14 at 2026-09-29T14:50:35.784878+00:00.
