C.26.1:4.4 - Boundary interaction under concern and operational sequence

The boundary interaction under concern is a boundary interaction used as evidence, export, comparison input, or architecture decision input. The interaction may be a meeting, question sequence, dashboard, metric, API read, survey, workshop, event stream, canary, test harness, service split, bridge, message, or management review. The pattern is active only when that interaction participates in the represented state enough that passive-read wording or unjustified lossless boundary-to-decision inference would change the decision.

The pattern governs one move: convert an apparently passive boundary read into a typed probe-coupled boundary decision. That decision says what the interaction read, what it changed, what the output can support, what it cannot support, and which neighboring FPF pattern takes over if the question is really bridge, measurement, evidence, work, decision, or viability.

Operational sequence:

  1. Name the boundary or relation being crossed.
  2. Name the probe lane, including the concrete artifact or work act that produced the output.
  3. State the false passive reading: what the team would have assumed if the probe were only a window.
  4. State the pre-probe hypothesis and the observed or inferred post-probe state.
  5. State the evidence carriers and uncertainty posture.
  6. State the export loss, memory, order effect, or frame effect that makes the output not faithful enough for the declared use.
  7. Choose the finish result: keep boundary with probe note, redesign probe, order, or frame, redesign bridge or export, change the split, merge, or orchestration, or apply a neighboring FPF pattern.

Required output: produce a probe-coupled interaction reading, a corrected use of the output, and, when it would reduce the problem, a redesign or decoupling move for the probe, order, frame, bridge, metric, dashboard, API read, or boundary interaction.

This sequence is deliberately small. It is the boundary analogue of the C.11 local choice pass: the pattern should end with a usable result, not with a richer vocabulary label.
