NSTD.7:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-patternWhat failsRepair
Fluency as fidelityA needed source relation is not inspected.Compare source and output, diagnose through NSTD.6, then repair or restrict the use.
Schema compliance as source fidelityThe story satisfies a schema but changes a required source relation or constraint.Compare and repair the changed relation directly; use NSTD.6 for narrative quality. C.34 applies to architecture-specific preservation, C.2.8 to reader-relative structural amount, and C.33 to architecture-description adequacy.
Generated permission as authorityA tool’s wording is taken to authorize a consequential action.Establish the applicable assignment or decision authority independently of that wording.
Regeneration as improvementAnother fluent variant is treated as an improvement without a supported comparison.Compare the candidate and previous version through NSTD.6, keeping needed relations and costs in view. Use E.22 for an unresolved comparison question and E.23 when repeated improvement is wanted.
