🛠 PATCH & PROVE · WEB

Repair the discount gate

Finding a bug is only half the story. Change the repair rules, then test whether your patch fixes the failure and keeps valid behaviour working. Every run starts with fresh simulated data.

Contract: Only members with a cart of $50 or more receive 10% off. A guest never qualifies.
