Challenge 02 · Save the Ticket Launch

One seat.
Two customers.
Both confirmed?

Your AI sounds certain. The inventory ledger tells a different story. Find the broken promise, repair the architecture and make the system prove it.

VIP A–12 1 seatOne authoritative commitment
Customer A “Your seat is confirmed!”
Customer B “Your seat is confirmed!”

Confidence is a message.
Ownership needs evidence.

Learn → Break → Fix → Replay → Prove → Defend

Watch the decision change the outcome.

Pause at the first breach. Inspect the state before and after each event. Change a control, replay the same workload and explain the trade-off.

01–02 · Authority

A race for the last seat

Competing holds and a stale green seat map. Decide which operation may settle ownership.

03–04 · Time & uncertainty

The payment arrives late

Expired leases, lost responses and retries. Protect inventory and resolve the customer’s money.

05–07 · Recovery & trust

The system keeps talking

Duplicate webhooks, premature AI promises and an overloaded ledger. Recover without inventing success.

Learn with guidance

Predictions, three-level hints, reference controls, chapter pointers and a seven-step notebook.

Evaluate your design

A separate draft, 21 server-selected variations, structured reasoning and citations to recomputed events. Improve and resubmit.

Synthetic teaching scenarios. No real money, ticket inventory or LLM calls. A practice pass proves the modeled runs; it is not a certification or a guarantee about a production system.
