Case contract

Select top k by descending score and lexical ties, normalize softmax over this restricted set, and retain its shortest prefix reaching p; p<=0 or k<=0 returns empty.

Why this case matters

A finite, deterministic token-selection contract isolates one decoding operation from model inference and runtime behavior.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

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