Done. The full, self-contained, tested solution is at ~/treeshap/SOLUTION.md (generated directly from the tested source so it can't drift).
Exact TreeSHAP's unwindPath must remove an already-seen feature while preserving the binomial path coefficients (pweight). The canonical C reference recomputes pweight in place and then shifts only featureIndex/zeroFraction/oneFraction. A naïve JS port that stores path elements as objects and does uniquePath[i] = uniquePath[i+1] also shifts pweight, corrupting the permutation weights → sign/depth errors and violation of local accuracy, even though magnitudes look plausible.
// recompute pweights in place first (loop above)...
for (let i = pathIndex; i < uniqueDepth; ++i) {
uniquePath[i].featureIndex = uniquePath[i + 1].featureIndex;
uniquePath[i].zeroFraction = uniquePath[i + 1].zeroFraction;
uniquePath[i].oneFraction = uniquePath[i + 1].oneFraction;
// pweight is deliberately NOT shifted: it belongs to the path position
}
Plus: missing values route the hot child through childrenDefault[node]; leaf contributions loop over numOutputs; the bias slot gets each tree's cover-weighted root value so Σφ_features = f(x) − E[f].
