| One-book domain | One influential source is treated as the whole answer despite a known rival or transfer limit. | State the question and add each source whose inspected claims change it. For a SoTA claim, the one source must itself critically compare the serious alternatives. |
| Currentness laundering | A registry entry, official status, maintained label, citation count, or recent date promotes a source into the best-known line. | Record identity and currentness separately. Select rank only from the answer-changing comparison, or return the unresolved source gap. |
| Source-role collapse | A lineage anchor, popular default, failure case, and best-known-line candidate are all reported as equivalent support. | Classify each retained source by its answer-changing role; official/popular-comparator, lineage-only, and identity/currentness-only roles do not supply SoTA rank. |
| Reading-list cut | Many sources are retained without distinct roles. | Keep only answer-changing roles and record deliberate exclusions. |
| Edition blur | A source is named without the edition that fixes the relied claim. | Identify the edition and reopen only affected claims when it changes. |
| Domain-family inference | A shelf label is treated as evidence of meaning, relation, or relevance. | Use the label only to find sources; inspect their claims. |
| Relation by stealth | Selection prose says two sources are “basically the same.” | Keep them distinct and open an F.9 question if an actual relation is needed. |
| Designed-versus-performed collapse | A design description is treated as a performed occurrence. | State the source role and the time distinction it contributes. |
| Search score as gate | Rank, distance, threshold, or model answer admits or excludes a source. | Use the reading to prioritize inspection; decide from the source’s contribution. |
| Variant becomes the question | A broader query drops a condition, and the returned passage answers that broader question instead. | Preserve the original concern and restore its conditions during candidate inspection. |
| Locator becomes source | A title or excerpt is treated as inspection of the unavailable original. | Return what was actually inspected, its address and missing context; retain the original as an inaccessible lead. |
| No hit becomes absence | One phrase or limited index finds nothing, so the whole repertoire is declared empty. | State the route’s reach, repair a consequential blind spot if feasible, or return the scoped gap. |
| Exhaustive pretense | A small cut is reported as complete literature coverage or saturation. | State its question-relative limits and use the domain review method when needed. |
| Compact-note inflation | The one-screen representation grows into a second source analysis. | Keep the ClaimGraph concise and place detailed analysis with the receiving work. |
| Context container revival | Sources or meanings are treated as members of a universal Context object. | Identify the exact sources. When a source-role decision depends on a disputed expression, recover its plain local meaning through F.0.1 before selection; create an F.17 cell only for a later durable need. |
