FA-99576 / RAG context assembly / Open access
A grouped evidence bundle is partially included · case 01
A grouped evidence bundle is partially included.
ROOT CAUSE
Budget selection treats chunks from one required bundle independently.
THE FAILURE
Budget selection treats chunks from one required bundle independently.
Unsuccessful approach: Checking each chunk against the original budget can overrun after accepting a partial bundle.
Case contract
Bundles are lists of [text,cost]. Visit in order; include every text in a bundle only when their total fits remaining budget.
Why this case matters
A small deterministic evidence assembly model makes context budgeting behavior inspectable.

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.

Toy inputs and token counts only; this does not claim compatibility with a tokenizer, prompt format, or production retrieval system. 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.
