Verify balances and recovery evidence
See this course’s project requirements
A local SQLite seat-transfer exercise with before/after totals, an all-or-nothing update, a deliberately rejected change and rollback evidence.
Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.
What to include
- A seat-transfer contract with total 10 preserved.
- Two targeted updates with a declared completion boundary.
- A committed all-or-nothing transfer record.
- A 5, B 5 and no active transaction after rejection.
- A parameterized update/lookup record with known-ID validation.
- A checked seat-transfer transaction packet.
Review and revise
Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.
- The implementation or declared simulation follows the supplied contract and retains inspectable original inputs.
- Normal, boundary and rejected cases are recorded with expected versus observed results.
- The changed case has a correct explanation and does not rely on hidden state.
- The project includes source, outputs, instructions and honest tool, privacy and verification limits.

The idea in everyday life
transactions.py tests a success, over-transfer, unknown recipient, total preservation and closed transaction state.
A transaction handoff includes before state, accepted changes, rejected changes and the actual final state. Tests use the fresh in-memory fixture; they never replace production records.
Verify balances and recovery evidence — original worked practice
A transaction handoff includes before state, accepted changes, rejected changes and the actual final state. Tests use the fresh in-memory fixture; they never replace production records.
transactions.py tests a success, over-transfer, unknown recipient, total preservation and closed transaction state.
1. Step 1
Execute the provided five checks.
You should see: The local transaction checks all pass.
This keeps the rule and its observable result together.
2. Step 2
Recreate baseline before an independent variation.
You should see: Each variation startswith A 8, B 2.
This keeps the rule and its observable result together.
3. Step 3
Record one valid and one invalid request with final rows.
You should see: Each result is reconciled with total 10.
This keeps the rule and its observable result together.
4. Step 4
Package SQL/Python source and the failure-preservation matrix.
You should see: A checked seat-transfer transaction packet.
This keeps the rule and its observable result together.
What to finish
A checked seat-transfer transaction packet.
Watch for this
Checking only the total, which can stay correct even when the transfer went to the wrong group.
How can I tell I understand it?
Explain and demonstrate the required distinction: A transaction handoff includes before state, accepted changes, rejected changes and the actual final state. Tests use the fresh in-memory fixture; they never replace production records. Show a changed input and the expected result without weakening this contract.
