Token sampling: Tail-free pruning measures drops from the unsorted vocabulary · case 02
Tail-free pruning measures drops from the unsorted vocabulary.
Case contract
Sort positive probabilities descending with lexical ties. Normalize adjacent first differences by their sum and keep the shortest prefix through the first normalized second-difference ratio exceeding zeta; always keep the first token and keep all if no ratio exceeds it.
Why this case matters
A finite, deterministic token-selection contract isolates one decoding operation from model inference and runtime behavior.

Sample boundary fixtureThis sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
| Boundary fixture | Actual | Expected | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| zero token omitted | ["a", "z"] | ["a"] | Failed |
