Shot sampler checks list emptiness instead of total weight · case 02
All-zero weights produce counts on the last outcome instead of "no-support".
Case contract
Input [n, weights, uniforms]; weights are nonnegative integers for basis indices 0..2**n-1 and uniforms are exact decimal or fraction strings in [0, 1). Each uniform u selects the first index i with u * total < cumulative weight through i. Return counts {bitstring: count} with qubit n-1 leftmost. Errors: "bad-length", "negative-weight", "no-support", ["bad-uniform", position].
Why this case matters
Deterministic replay of sampled shots makes simulator results reproducible; CDF boundary slips bias counts toward impossible outcomes.
One recorded failure
Sample boundary fixtureThis sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
| Boundary fixture | Actual | Expected | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| regression: all zero weights | {"1": 1} | "no-support" | Failed |
