Closed-open version range intersection: A zero lower bound is treated as absent · case 01

A zero lower bound is treated as absent.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 9 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

The implementation substitutes if lo for if lo is not None, so a zero lower bound is treated as absent.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Use explicit None checks for lower bounds.

Unsuccessful approach: The attempted repair substitutes if lo not in (None, 0). Fixture 6 still yields (None, 3) instead of (0, 3).

Case contract

Intersect all inclusive lower and exclusive upper bounds. None means unbounded. Return empty if lower >= upper, otherwise a bound pair.

Why this case matters

An offline model of closed-open version range intersection, suitable for testing build and release tooling without external services.

Verification & scope

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.
