G.3:11 - SoTA‑Echoing
This pattern aligns with post‑2015 best practice by:
- treating abstention/defer and set‑valued outcomes as first‑class design objects (consistent with modern selective prediction and set‑valued reporting practice),
- keeping multiobjective and archive‑based reasoning set‑returning rather than silently scalarizing (consistent with QD/illumination and open‑ended evaluation practice after 2015),
- making evaluation semantics reproducible through explicit edition/policy pinning (aligned with the modern emphasis on reproducibility and “specifying the evaluation surface” rather than only reporting metrics),
- modularizing method‑family specifics (QD/OEE, explore‑exploit) via explicit wiring and governing-definition assignment rather than embedding method semantics into universal measurement admissibility.
