FA-94489 / Exam timetabling constraints / Member archive

Exam exactly as long as its period flagged · case 04

Exams that exactly fill their period are rejected.

Member previewVariant 4 · 3 implementations · 8 checks per implementation

Case contract

timetable maps exam -> period index, exams exam -> duration, periods -> duration. Duration violations (exam longer than its period) are listed first by exam id; then for each constraint in order: after (a must be in a strictly later period than b), exclusion (different periods), coincidence (same period), exclusive (a must be alone in its period). Return violation rows.

Why this case matters

Hard-constraint validation gates every candidate exam timetable.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

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

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
regression: duration fit 1	`[["duration", "CHEM120"], ["duration", "MATH101"], ["coincidence", "MATH101", "PHYS110"], ["exclusive", "PHYS110", "CHEM120"]]`	`[["duration", "MATH101"], ["coincidence", "MATH101", "PHYS110"], ["exclusive", "PHYS110", "CHEM120"]]`	Failed
