E.15:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-patternFailureRepair
Every edit becomes a programmeA typo triggers candidates, scoring, evidence packaging, and refresh work.Use the direct bounded repair and stop after its focused check.
Delta by label“Lexical” or “minor” hides an action-changing edit.Describe the actual reader and consumer effect first.
The author’s map proves preservationA rewrite is checked only against what its author remembers preserving.Derive predecessor-use probes independently and inspect every material function.
Search output equals impactEvery textual mention is edited, while an undeclared real consumer is missed.Test whether each candidate locus actually depends on the changed premise.
One score chooses the winnerReadability, breadth, formal checks, and assurance are added without lawful scales or protected trade-offs.Keep constraints separate and choose among non-dominated candidates for the intended use.
Version number supplies semanticsmajor, minor, or patch is treated as proof of compatibility.Decide continuity first; use a version label only to communicate that decision.
A new trace for every changeDRR, review, source, check, and landing facts are copied into another authoring-trace record.Keep the minimum change account in the receiving workflow and cite existing results.
Precise fragment, unreadable patternA formal repair passes a token check while the whole pattern loses recognition and practical entry.Read the whole changed pattern as a cold practitioner and simplify non-load-bearing formal language.
Self-log as practitioner guidanceThe pattern publishes its own authoring history and calls it Work or quality evidence.Keep one worked practitioner case in the pattern; keep actual work and evaluation evidence in their direct records.
