Accessibility is a core design constraint. This alternative suggests “Apply a new frontend design before evaluating keyboard and screen-reader behavior”, whereas the supported approach is “Explore requirements and compare alternatives before broad edits”. Design tradeoffs and cross-file implications merit planning. Plan mode is useful for investigating and proposing changes; direct execution should occur only when the workflow has authorized and bounded the required side effects.

“Choose whichever visual pattern requires least code without user requirements” is the wrong action for this case. Compatibility and accessibility may be lost. The supported choice is “Explore requirements and compare alternatives before broad edits”. Design tradeoffs and cross-file implications merit planning. Keep an explicit separation between proposed actions, actual tool execution, and tests that establish the change worked as required.

Coordination cannot substitute for an accepted approach. The proposal “Split implementation across agents before agreeing on a coherent design” conflicts with the required decision. “Explore requirements and compare alternatives before broad edits” addresses the actual condition. Design tradeoffs and cross-file implications merit planning. Plan mode is useful for investigating and proposing changes; direct execution should occur only when the workflow has authorized and bounded the required side effects.

“Launch an open-ended planning exercise instead of editing the isolated handler” is the wrong action for this case. The validation change is already bounded. The supported choice is “Implement the direct edit with a targeted test”. A known local correctness condition does not require a large architecture review. Keep an explicit separation between proposed actions, actual tool execution, and tests that establish the change worked as required.

A targeted test should confirm it works. The proposal “Add the condition without checking the expected failure behavior” conflicts with the required decision. “Implement the direct edit with a targeted test” addresses the actual condition. A known local correctness condition does not require a large architecture review. Plan mode is useful for investigating and proposing changes; direct execution should occur only when the workflow has authorized and bounded the required side effects.

Replacing a large service for one isolated validation condition introduces unnecessary changes and broadens the regression surface. This alternative suggests “Rewrite the entire service to introduce one validation branch”, whereas the supported approach is “Implement the direct edit with a targeted test”. A known local correctness condition does not require a large architecture review. Plan mode is useful for investigating and proposing changes; direct execution should occur only when the workflow has authorized and bounded the required side effects.

Boundary mistakes are costly to unwind. The proposal “Create new microservices before identifying ownership of existing data” conflicts with the required decision. “Plan domain boundaries, data ownership and migration sequencing before coding” addresses the actual condition. A decomposition affects shared state, deployment and failure modes across the system. Plan mode is useful for investigating and proposing changes; direct execution should occur only when the workflow has authorized and bounded the required side effects.

Data contracts need an agreed transition. This alternative suggests “Move tables between teams without a migration or compatibility plan”, whereas the supported approach is “Plan domain boundaries, data ownership and migration sequencing before coding”. A decomposition affects shared state, deployment and failure modes across the system. Plan mode is useful for investigating and proposing changes; direct execution should occur only when the workflow has authorized and bounded the required side effects.

“Extract every module into a service regardless of coupling” is the wrong action for this case. A domain model should guide decomposition. The supported choice is “Plan domain boundaries, data ownership and migration sequencing before coding”. A decomposition affects shared state, deployment and failure modes across the system. Keep an explicit separation between proposed actions, actual tool execution, and tests that establish the change worked as required.

The next step is implementation. This alternative suggests “Keep planning indefinitely after scope and acceptance have been approved”, whereas the supported approach is “Switch from planning to direct execution using the approved scope”. Planning is a decision aid, not a substitute for carrying out a settled change. Plan mode is useful for investigating and proposing changes; direct execution should occur only when the workflow has authorized and bounded the required side effects.

“Rewrite the approved design unilaterally rather than applying it” is the wrong action for this case. The user requested the agreed limited patch. The supported choice is “Switch from planning to direct execution using the approved scope”. Planning is a decision aid, not a substitute for carrying out a settled change. Keep an explicit separation between proposed actions, actual tool execution, and tests that establish the change worked as required.

Execution and tests still need to occur. The proposal “Treat the approved plan as proof the code was changed” conflicts with the required decision. “Switch from planning to direct execution using the approved scope” addresses the actual condition. Planning is a decision aid, not a substitute for carrying out a settled change. Plan mode is useful for investigating and proposing changes; direct execution should occur only when the workflow has authorized and bounded the required side effects.

Abstract caution does not demonstrate the required transformation. This alternative suggests “Repeat “be precise” without examples of the desired table layout”, whereas the supported approach is “Provide two or three representative input-to-output examples”. Concrete examples demonstrate formatting conventions more reliably than vague prose. Iterative editing should be driven by reproducible observations such as test failures and changed files, not a model’s confident claim that its revision is complete.

“Paste a long unrelated output instead of a correct example” is the wrong action for this case. Exemplars should match the target structure. The supported choice is “Provide two or three representative input-to-output examples”. Concrete examples demonstrate formatting conventions more reliably than vague prose. Run relevant checks after each substantive change, preserve failure evidence, and avoid broad unrelated edits when a targeted repair can satisfy the requirement.

Concrete examples help but still require output checks. The proposal “Disable format validation and trust subsequent outputs” conflicts with the required decision. “Provide two or three representative input-to-output examples” addresses the actual condition. Concrete examples demonstrate formatting conventions more reliably than vague prose. Iterative editing should be driven by reproducible observations such as test failures and changed files, not a model’s confident claim that its revision is complete.

“Tell the generator to try harder without giving the failing null case” is the wrong action for this case. It lacks the counterexample needed to correct behavior. The supported choice is “Supply the failing null-input test and require a focused correction”. A focused example showing the null input, failing behavior and expected result provides the generator an actionable boundary test instead of general warnings. Run relevant checks after each substantive change, preserve failure evidence, and avoid broad unrelated edits when a targeted repair can satisfy the requirement.

That hides the real boundary defect. The proposal “Delete the null-input test so the suite passes” conflicts with the required decision. “Supply the failing null-input test and require a focused correction” addresses the actual condition. A focused example showing the null input, failing behavior and expected result provides the generator an actionable boundary test instead of general warnings. Iterative editing should be driven by reproducible observations such as test failures and changed files, not a model’s confident claim that its revision is complete.

The correction should target the observed failure. This alternative suggests “Rewrite unrelated code paths before testing the identified case”, whereas the supported approach is “Supply the failing null-input test and require a focused correction”. A focused example showing the null input, failing behavior and expected result provides the generator an actionable boundary test instead of general warnings. Iterative editing should be driven by reproducible observations such as test failures and changed files, not a model’s confident claim that its revision is complete.

The new cases may repeat already tested behavior. The proposal “Generate more tests without examining existing coverage” conflicts with the required decision. “Read existing tests and fixtures to target missing coverage” addresses the actual condition. Generated tests should add value rather than duplicate the established suite. Iterative editing should be driven by reproducible observations such as test failures and changed files, not a model’s confident claim that its revision is complete.

Coverage depends on behaviors and edge conditions. This alternative suggests “Assume the test count alone measures completeness”, whereas the supported approach is “Read existing tests and fixtures to target missing coverage”. Generated tests should add value rather than duplicate the established suite. Iterative editing should be driven by reproducible observations such as test failures and changed files, not a model’s confident claim that its revision is complete.

“Ask for tests of an unrelated helper instead of the function” is the wrong action for this case. The task is to identify missing cases for the target function. The supported choice is “Read existing tests and fixtures to target missing coverage”. Generated tests should add value rather than duplicate the established suite. Run relevant checks after each substantive change, preserve failure evidence, and avoid broad unrelated edits when a targeted repair can satisfy the requirement.

The acceptance criteria remain undefined. This alternative suggests “Keep the prompt “make it better” and accept any resulting interface”, whereas the supported approach is “State acceptance criteria and show an example of the desired contract”. Observable success conditions narrow the implementation choices. Iterative editing should be driven by reproducible observations such as test failures and changed files, not a model’s confident claim that its revision is complete.

“List preferred libraries without explaining the public API contract” is the wrong action for this case. Implementation choices cannot replace an interface specification. The supported choice is “State acceptance criteria and show an example of the desired contract”. Observable success conditions narrow the implementation choices. Run relevant checks after each substantive change, preserve failure evidence, and avoid broad unrelated edits when a targeted repair can satisfy the requirement.

The produced contract must match examples and tests. The proposal “Declare success based only on the model's confident description” conflicts with the required decision. “State acceptance criteria and show an example of the desired contract” addresses the actual condition. Observable success conditions narrow the implementation choices. Iterative editing should be driven by reproducible observations such as test failures and changed files, not a model’s confident claim that its revision is complete.

One corrected example cannot establish that an edited prompt still handles the other inputs the application depends on. This alternative suggests “Accept the latest example as sufficient evidence and release the prompt immediately”, whereas the supported approach is “Run a repeatable regression set spanning prior successes, recent failures and representative edge cases after each revision”. A consistent regression suite identifies whether a local prompt fix causes broader failure; the team should compare representative prior passes and new exceptions before deployment. Iterative editing should be driven by reproducible observations such as test failures and changed files, not a model’s confident claim that its revision is complete.

“Remove the previous successful cases from evaluation to avoid conflicting signals” is the wrong action for this case. Discarding earlier cases hides regressions introduced by the latest prompt change instead of measuring them. The supported choice is “Run a repeatable regression set spanning prior successes, recent failures and representative edge cases after each revision”. A consistent regression suite identifies whether a local prompt fix causes broader failure; the team should compare representative prior passes and new exceptions before deployment. Run relevant checks after each substantive change, preserve failure evidence, and avoid broad unrelated edits when a targeted repair can satisfy the requirement.

Latency alone cannot reveal that a field-mapping fix broke another document type or changed output correctness. The proposal “Compare only response speed, since a successful patch proves correctness” conflicts with the required decision. “Run a repeatable regression set spanning prior successes, recent failures and representative edge cases after each revision” addresses the actual condition. A consistent regression suite identifies whether a local prompt fix causes broader failure; the team should compare representative prior passes and new exceptions before deployment. Iterative editing should be driven by reproducible observations such as test failures and changed files, not a model’s confident claim that its revision is complete.

“Fix each interacting symptom in isolation without describing shared state” is the wrong action for this case. The same underlying issue may recur across patches. The supported choice is “Provide the related failures together with their common reproduction context”. Interdependent bugs benefit from joint diagnosis rather than isolated edits. Run relevant checks after each substantive change, preserve failure evidence, and avoid broad unrelated edits when a targeted repair can satisfy the requirement.

The solver may misdiagnose the interacting bug. The proposal “Provide only one failure and omit the common reproduction sequence” conflicts with the required decision. “Provide the related failures together with their common reproduction context” addresses the actual condition. Interdependent bugs benefit from joint diagnosis rather than isolated edits. Iterative editing should be driven by reproducible observations such as test failures and changed files, not a model’s confident claim that its revision is complete.

Failure counts alone cannot reveal the shared state transition that causes the three interacting symptoms; reproduction details are needed. This alternative suggests “Ask the model to guess the upstream cause from an error count”, whereas the supported approach is “Provide the related failures together with their common reproduction context”. Interdependent bugs benefit from joint diagnosis rather than isolated edits. Iterative editing should be driven by reproducible observations such as test failures and changed files, not a model’s confident claim that its revision is complete.

The defects have independent localized scopes. The proposal “Bundle unrelated typographical fixes into one risky architectural refactor” conflicts with the required decision. “Fix the independent issues separately with small validation checks” addresses the actual condition. Unrelated changes need not be bundled into one broad risk surface. Iterative editing should be driven by reproducible observations such as test failures and changed files, not a model’s confident claim that its revision is complete.

Even small edits can alter source or build behavior. This alternative suggests “Skip validation because each typo appears insignificant”, whereas the supported approach is “Fix the independent issues separately with small validation checks”. Unrelated changes need not be bundled into one broad risk surface. Iterative editing should be driven by reproducible observations such as test failures and changed files, not a model’s confident claim that its revision is complete.

“Apply one fix and claim both unrelated modules were corrected” is the wrong action for this case. Each defect needs its own confirmation. The supported choice is “Fix the independent issues separately with small validation checks”. Unrelated changes need not be bundled into one broad risk surface. Run relevant checks after each substantive change, preserve failure evidence, and avoid broad unrelated edits when a targeted repair can satisfy the requirement.
