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.
