NOT.5:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them
| Failure | Repair |
| Matching labels while losing their connections or scopes | Translate interpreted structure; the node/pair construction in :5.1 retains the required relation. |
| Recovering an arbitrary source and calling it the original | Exhibit the collapsed alternatives and retain the information needed to distinguish them. |
| Treating a useful summary as a complete substitute | Keep its successful use and add the missing information for the new question. |
| Returning a target answer outside the source’s admitted cases | Restore the source restriction and the return argument. |
| Accepting a target edit by silently changing a protected source feature | Declare the backward policy and expose incompatible edits, as in :5.3. |
| Assuming a later format restores an earlier loss | Trace the needed distinction through the translation sequence or return to a retained source. |
