credit-note-fixer

To fix a credit-note formatting bug, apply the smallest correct patch to ensure the output label remains "credit" and the amount stays strictly positive. The fix is scoped to the minimal necessary code change to align the output formatting.

The best way to verify a credit-note bug fix is by running the exact repository test script sh tests/test_credit_note.sh from the repo directory. This deterministic workflow validates that the label and positive amount constraints are met.

A credit-note test fails with incorrect labeling or negative amounts because the underlying code does not enforce the output label as "credit" or constrain the amount to a positive value. Adjusting the code to enforce these constraints resolves the failure.

No external dependencies are required to patch a failing credit-note test. The patch uses workspace-relative paths and verifies the fix by running the existing repository test script, ensuring a self-contained and deterministic workflow.

Yes, you can apply a minimal patch to correct credit-note output formatting by scoping the change to the smallest possible adjustment. Running the targeted test script confirms the label and positive amount fixes without breaking existing tests.

A limitation of the smallest-change patch for credit-note bug fixes is that it strictly scopes adjustments to the immediate formatting error. It does not address broader architectural issues if the negative amount or mislabeling stems from deeper logic flaws.
