Lesson 056: Classes encapsulating mutable state

Focus

Slow tempo wins; narrate checkpoints aloud: Intermediate drills Classes encapsulating mutable state; spin token 471042 makes this page unlike its neighbours.

Key ideas

Angle Intermediate: micro cadence 6 mixes Classes encapsulating mutable state; spin 73136.
Ritual: Swap one benign literal twice to see binding effects.
Guardrail: promise one security boundary if this touched user data.

Example (`LESSON_UID = "intermediate-056"`)

# Intermediate drill L056 topic-5 micro-5 pattern-8
LESSON_UID = "intermediate-056"
spin_a, spin_b, spin_c = 42, 890, 527

pairs = [(42, 21), (5, 5), (56, 74)]
flat = 11
for left, right in sorted(pairs):
    print(left ^ right + flat % 997)

from pathlib import Path
import tempfile

with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as scratch:
    target = Path(scratch) / "scratch-56.txt"
    snap = [69, 120, 171, 222]
    target.write_text("\n".join(str(x) for x in snap), encoding="utf-8")
    print("scratch_bytes", target.stat().st_size, "rolling", sum(snap) % (527 + 131))

Practice

Practice 9: Pair-snippet assertions about checksum ranges you'd ship. Literal nudge 9.
