Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • User-authorized weighted-hours tip pool; largest-remainder cent allocation preserves every cent. Supported limits: All numeric inputs and computed intermediates must remain finite. Supported numeric input magnitude is zero or 1e-12 through 1e12 in absolute value; reject values outside this bounded range. All lists/JSON record tables are limited to 100 records unless a stricter bound is stated; reject malformed record arity and wrong member types. Nonnegative two-decimal pool; nonnegative hours/weights; total weighted hours>0. User confirms eligibility and role rules; no legal tip-policy interpretation.
