Why is this P2WSH spend triggering a verification failure when broadcasting?

I’m experiment with building SegWit transactions manually, and I’ve written a non-standard simple script just for testing. No signing or anything, just your usual "add two numbers, check equality" script. However, when attempting to broadcast it, I get an error.

I already sent the coins to the script, now I’m just trying to spend from it.

Here is my input:

Vout 0 is the output of interest here.

Here is my decoded transaction when I attempt to spend it:

The witness script (5193016487) is 1 OP_ADD 100 OP_EQUAL. The witness stack also has 99 (63000000).

Why do I get this verify error when I attempt to broadcast it?

error code: -26
error message:
