Pick sequence: serpentine parity inverted · case 01

Pickers enter odd aisles from the far end and double back through every aisle.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 8 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

Bay direction is ascending on even aisles instead of odd aisles.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Walk bays ascending on odd aisles and descending on even aisles.

Unsuccessful approach: Always walking bays ascending removes the serpentine and returns to the front of each aisle.

Case contract

codes "aisle-bay-level" with decimal parts and optional surrounding whitespace. Valid aisles 1-40, levels 1-6. Canonical form "AA-BB-L" (two-digit aisle and bay). Duplicates collapse. Sequence: aisles ascending; odd aisles walk bays ascending, even aisles descending; level ascending within a bay. Invalid codes are returned as given, sorted, duplicates kept. Return [sequence, invalid].

Why this case matters

Pick paths are sequenced from location codes in a serpentine walk.

Verification & scope

Stipulated code format and layout; no cross aisles or zone routing. 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 2026-09-29T14:52:11.724847+00:00.
