FA-92961 / EV charging session scheduling / Open access

Charging profile stack resolution: tx replaces default · case 01

A transaction profile raising the limit is ignored because the default profile still applies.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 7 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

The default profile is considered alongside the tx profile instead of being replaced by it.

THE FAILURE

The default profile is considered alongside the tx profile instead of being replaced by it.

Unsuccessful approach: Preferring default when both exist inverts the override.

Case contract

Each profile has purpose max/default/tx, stack level, validity [valid_from, valid_to) (valid_to None = open), kind absolute (origin valid_from) or relative (origin session_start; skipped when no session) and periods [[offset, amps]] in any order. A profile yields the amps of the last period with offset <= t-origin, or nothing before its first period. Per purpose the highest stack wins (ties: earlier profile). tx replaces default. Effective limit is the minimum of max, tx-or-default and hw_max, ties resolved in that order. Return [amps, source].

Why this case matters

Depot, workplace and public EV chargers schedule sessions against prices, circuit limits and departure deadlines; a wrong decision silently strands a driver or overloads a feeder.

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

Deterministic stipulated toy contract for teaching; no claim of conformance with any standard, vendor protocol or production controller. 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 2026-09-29T14:51:50.735543+00:00.
