E.4.PFIP:4.5 - Complete the affected-publication comparison and return

Identify every affected publication-form expression relation occurrence and, when carrier or publication identity affects the comparison, its bearing and publication relations. Run every applicable eligible-pair comparison and allocation comparison. Check each shared public entry or direct consumer once across the comparisons, while preserving the separate expression results that depend on it.

Return a bounded preservation conclusion with:

  • accidental losses and the expression parts that need repair;
  • accepted content changes or retirements that account for a predecessor difference;
  • unexpected additions;
  • unresolved candidate correspondences or content-change questions;
  • blockers and the comparisons they prevent; and
  • the declared use for which the conclusion holds.

The complete traversal remains checkable even though unchanged predecessor content and selected structure receive no prose rows. A build result, successful accepted-source comparison, pattern-quality result, or package-adequacy result cannot substitute for it.

When the framework publication has no predecessor, perform the accepted-source comparison, inspect the complete candidate inventory, check changed public entries and direct consumers, and use the applicable package evaluation. When an unchanged edition is merely republished through a different form or carrier, use E.24.PUB, E.17, C.33, and C.34 for the changed publication claims. Use this pattern only when accepted-source integration or complete framework-publication continuity is the live problem.
