E.11.PFP:4.5 - Check syntax and product truth at the right boundary

The deterministic part of the form check handles recoverable syntax and projection agreement:

  • the product-declared title and Readme H1, the compact opening, and absence of prohibited development or machine material from reader front matter;
  • the required H1 sequence plus the product-declared body and reference tail;
  • product-declared Readme and Preface entries in the established ToC grammar, before the logical pattern index, with no generic rival mini-menu;
  • one correctly addressed, content-free Preface end heading at the boundary of that unit;
  • authoritative index segments, aggregate row/body bijection, duplicates, and reserved support-index grammar;
  • the Readme’s one practical-entry set; its explicit examples-not-coverage statement; the product’s declaration of example keys and forms; exactly one H3 ordinary entry or H4 card per declared key; five ordered ordinary-entry fields; a non-empty card-group explanation; six ordered card fields; the shared reading-burden measure and mantra/card limits; and zero or one same-key H5 expansion with the declared boundary; and
  • equality and source agreement of every optional public cue that is actually projected.

Check Markdown grouping with a focused source-hazard scan and a parser-backed render of the same candidate. Inspect the rendered heading outline and the block, list, table, code and link structure together. Reuse matching unchanged results. A clean mechanical result supports but does not replace the reader-visible judgement.

The product-specific check compares every visible cue with the exact edition or relation record from which it was projected and checks the product-specific body, reference tail, and any pinned compact-front shape. A syntax-valid but unresolved value fails there. A field absent from the public opening is not a form defect unless a selected reader use and product-specific rule require it.

A reader also follows the twelve content questions in section 4.7 to their public answers. A link or heading proves only that a target exists; reading establishes whether it answers the question at the claimed scale and preserves direct use. Reuse unchanged answers and current matching results. This content reading belongs to the selected authoring or publication question; the common form adds no separate release procedure.

Neither check decides framework scale from pattern count. Report pattern_count = 1 as a diagnostic. Use E.4, E.4.PFAD, E.4.DPF.DA, E.11, E.21, and the applicable subject patterns to judge whether the result is a usable pattern language for its declared field and first use.
