Packed positions count across segment boundaries · case 01

Packed positions count across segment boundaries.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 6 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

Position indices are cumulative over a packed row rather than local to its segment.

THE FAILURE

Position indices are cumulative over a packed row rather than local to its segment.

Unsuccessful approach: One-based local positions still misalign every segment start.

Case contract

For each packed row of segment lengths, assign positions 0 through length-1 inside each segment, resetting at every boundary.

Why this case matters

This deterministic toy packing rule models a common boundary in preparing bounded training sequences.

HELD IN THE MEMBER ARCHIVE

The verified repair and its recorded checks are member-only.

This mechanism has 6 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

Inputs are short integer-token lists under the stated toy contract; results do not claim compatibility with a specific training framework. 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 2026-09-30T16:48:09.322254+00:00.
