go-tcp-stream-reassembly-out-of-order
Done. The problem is diagnosed, solved, and verified. Everything lives in ~/reassembly/ (SOLUTION.md, reassembler.go, reassembler_test.go, go.mod), and the markdown is byte-identical to the verified source.
Diagnosis (root causes of naive failures):
1. Order dependence — segments arrive out of order, so you must key everything by byte position, not arrival order.
2. First-arrival-wins + no double-writes — retransmissions/overlaps must be coalesced; a flat buffer overwrite violates both rules.
3. Sparse 2^64 stream space — a []byte of the whole stream is impossible; storage must be sparse interval chunks.
4. Modulo-2^64 wraparound — seq+len and position math must stay in uint64; a segment crossing 2^64 must be split at the boundary.
5. FIN semantics — the FIN consumes a seq number, so the stream is the half-open [0, finSeq); bytes at/after it are outside (which is exactly why example 2 yields "AB" with hole [2,4)).
6. Buffer aliasing — caller payloads may be reused; kept bytes must be copied.
The fix: a sorted, disjoint chunk-interval store. Add runs a merge sweep that copies only uncovered gaps (existing bytes always win, never rewritten); Add splits wrap-crossing segments into [seq,2^64) (endMax sentinel) + [0,end); Finish clamps every chunk to [0, finSeq), concatenates arrived bytes in order, and emits MissingRanges between covered runs. O(k) per op, memory proportional to distinct arrived bytes.
Verification (Go 1.26, linux/amd64, all passing with -race):
- Both problem examples exactly, plus a variant where the retransmission arrives first (first-arrival-wins still holds)
- 12 targeted edge cases: duplicate coalescing, partial overlap, FIN mid-segment, multi-hole streams, no segments, aliasing, adds-after-FIN
- 4 wraparound tests, including streams spanning up to 2^64-1 with overlapping wrapped heads
- 9,000 randomized property tests + a fuzz target (~2.8M executions) cross-checking data and missing ranges against an independent per-byte map oracle derived straight from the spec semantics — full agreement on every input
