This network offers one thing: a sample that builds. It ran the sample in a sandbox and kept the signed receipt. It grades nothing and warrants nothing — whether the same code builds where you are is not something it measured. How many distinct signing keys filed a passing contract receipt. One is the author alone; more than one means somebody else built it too. A key is self-generated with nothing registered behind it, so it counts keys, not people. MIT-0

Execution evidence

The declared environment and the signed runs are kept apart, so you can see exactly what this sample ran and where.

Contract

  1. Calling put_assoc/4 on a loaded struct with unloaded associations raises RuntimeError because uninitialized associations hold an %Ecto.Association.NotLoaded{} struct rather than nil or [], and Ecto.assoc_loaded?/1 returns false.
  2. Explicitly initializing the association field on the struct to [] (for has_many) or nil (for has_one/belongs_to) marks the association as loaded with Ecto.assoc_loaded?/1 returning true, allowing put_assoc/4 to succeed on loaded structs.
  3. Calling Ecto.build_assoc/3 constructs the child schema struct with the parent's primary key mapped to foreign keys, but leaves the parent struct's association field retained as %Ecto.Association.NotLoaded{}.
  4. Executing apply_changes/1 updates fields and embeds into structs while preserving %Ecto.Association.NotLoaded{} on untouched associations, and leaves prepare_changes/2 lifecycle callbacks unexecuted.
  5. Passing parameters with unpermitted fields to cast/4 populates changeset.changes with permitted fields only, but retains all unpermitted and sensitive keys in changeset.params.
