Inventory stack insertion: Overfull legacy stacks are drained · case 05

Adding items to an inventory with a legacy overfull stack destroys items.

Case contract

slots = list of None or [name, count]; names are case sensitive. First top up partial stacks (count < max_stack) of the same item in slot order, then fill empty slots in order with new stacks of at most max_stack. Reserved placeholders [name, 0] count as partial stacks. Legacy stacks above max_stack are left untouched. Returns {slots, leftover}.

Why this case matters

Game economies leak or destroy currency when one crafting or pricing rule is off by one boundary, rounding stage or state update; the defect is observable in exact integer outcomes.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
legacy overfull stack #1	`{"leftover": 0, "slots": [["Arrow", 20], ["Arrow", 8]]}`	`{"leftover": 0, "slots": [["Arrow", 25], ["Arrow", 3]]}`	Failed
