Replay Divergence
Replay divergence occurs when reconstructed behavior does not satisfy the expected comparison rule.
- input artifact
- state snapshot
- configuration
- dependency assumptions
- canonicalization rules
- comparison contract
- expected result
Common cause
Section titled “Common cause”A replay boundary that is not referentially closed may depend on external state that was not preserved.
Resolution
Section titled “Resolution”Identify the missing or varying dependency and make the replay boundary explicit.
Do not redefine equivalence after observing the result merely to force a match.
