-# Fix `sorted_last_index_of` raising IndexError on empty array
-
-## Problem
-
-`pydash.sorted_last_index_of(array, value)` raises `IndexError` when `array` is
-empty, instead of returning `-1` (the documented "not found" result):
-
-```python
->>> import pydash
->>> pydash.sorted_last_index_of([], 10)
-Traceback (most recent call last):
-    ...
-IndexError: list index out of range
-```
-
-The sibling function `sorted_index_of` returns `-1` for the same input, so the
-two are inconsistent.
-
-## Root cause
-
-`src/pydash/arrays.py`, in `sorted_last_index_of`:
-
-```python
-index = sorted_last_index(array, value) - 1
-
-if index < len(array) and array[index] == value:
-    return index
-else:
-    return -1
-```
-
-`sorted_last_index` returns `0` for an empty array (and whenever `value` is
-smaller than every element), so `index` becomes `-1`. The guard only checks the
-upper bound (`index < len(array)`); since `-1 < 0` is `True` for an empty array,
-`array[index]` is evaluated as `array[-1]` on an empty list, raising
-`IndexError`. For a non-empty array the same `index == -1` accidentally avoids a
-wrong result only because `array[-1]` happens not to equal a value smaller than
-`array[0]`; the missing lower-bound check is still a latent correctness issue.
-
-## Fix
-
-Add the lower-bound check so a negative computed index is treated as
-"not found":
-
-```python
-if 0 <= index < len(array) and array[index] == value:
-    return index
-else:
-    return -1
-```
-
-## Test
-
-Extended `test_sorted_last_index_of` in `tests/test_arrays.py` with the
-empty-array case and a value-below-range case:
-
-```python
-([], 10, -1),
-([2, 3, 4], 1, -1),
-```
-
-## Gate
-
-- `python -m pytest tests/test_arrays.py -k test_sorted_last_index_of` -> 4 passed
-- `python -m pytest tests/ --ignore=tests/pytest_mypy_testing` -> 1917 passed
-
-Counterfactual (fix reverted, test kept): the empty-array case fails with
-`IndexError: list index out of range` at `arrays.py` in `sorted_last_index_of`.
-
-## Flags for the account owner
-
-The `tests/pytest_mypy_testing/` suite fails locally with `NameError` (the
-`reveal_type` typing plugin is not resolvable in a bare `pip install -e .`
-environment). These failures are pre-existing and unrelated to this change.
