FA-87976 / Inverse kinematics solvers / Open access
FABRIK backward pass interpolates from the wrong joint · case 01
Joints are placed at the complementary fraction of the segment and link lengths are not preserved.
ROOT CAUSE
The backward update weights the old joint by (1-lambda) instead of the freshly placed child joint.
VERIFIED REPAIR
Place p[i] at (1-lambda) p[i+1] + lambda p[i] with lambda = d_i / r.
Unsuccessful approach: Inverting lambda to r/d_i keeps the anchor but scales the segment by the reciprocal.
Case contract
Input [points, target, tol, iters]: planar joint positions from base to tip. Link lengths come from the initial points. If the base-to-target distance exceeds the total length, stretch every link toward the target and return ["unreachable", points]. Otherwise run FABRIK passes (tip to target and backward, base re-anchored, forward) while the tip is farther than tol and fewer than iters passes ran; return [status, passes, points] with status "reached" when the final tip error <= tol else "max-iterations"; coordinates rounded to 4 places.
Why this case matters
Inverse kinematics code turns task-space goals into joint commands; a wrong branch, sign, limit or update order sends a real arm to the wrong pose.

Verification & scope
Deterministic planar or low-dimensional teaching model with a stipulated convention; not a general robotics library. 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.
