Attack the Premise
Trigger
When two or more fixes that share one premise have failed the same gate.
Rule
Inventory who actually owns or exhibits the imbalance, then challenge the shared premise before writing another patch.
Application
- Name the concrete decision this principle changes.
- Apply the rule to that decision, not as a decorative citation.
- Prefer evidence from the current repository/runtime over generic preference.
- If the principle conflicts with an explicit user constraint, keep the constraint and state the tradeoff.
