Deprecated option alias migration: Multiple aliases repeat the same conflict · case 01

Multiple aliases repeat the same conflict.

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

ROOT CAUSE

The implementation substitutes sorted(conflicts) for sorted(set(conflicts)), so multiple aliases repeat the same conflict.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Report each conflicting canonical key once.

Unsuccessful approach: The attempted repair substitutes conflicts. Fixture 7 still yields ({'new': 3}, ['new', 'new']) instead of ({'new': 3}, ['new']).

Case contract

Copy canonical values; map alias values only when canonical is absent, remove alias keys, preserve unrelated options, and report conflicts where alias and canonical differ.

Why this case matters

An offline model of deprecated option alias migration, 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.
