PAT-0310 - Orphaned Structure

A structural condition where a node, region, object, state, or declaration exists without linkage to the governing graph or integration pathway.

Primary Lenses

LEN-0100 - Absence Lens
Detects structurally required elements that are missing from the observed structure.

LEN-0250 - Propagation Lens
Traces how structural declarations, effects, or state changes propagate across boundaries or stages.

Tool Result Not Integrated Correctly
The AI receives a tool result but misreads, ignores, overwrites, misplaces, or fails to incorporate it correctly into the final output or workflow state.

Merge Step Leaves Unresolved Differences
A merge, reconciliation, or consolidation step combines outputs or reviews but leaves important differences unresolved.
Relationship Map Has Missing Links
A map of related Issues, rules, patterns, cases, fields, tools, or workflow steps is missing links needed to navigate or reason over the structure.
Review Queue Becomes Bottleneck
A review queue, approval path, or validation stage accumulates too much work and begins blocking the workflow.
Task Progress Is Lost Midway
The AI loses track of completed work, prior decisions, current position, or remaining steps before the task is finished.
Workflow Stage Has Too Few Checks
A workflow stage lacks enough checks, gates, criteria, or review conditions to safely support the work it controls.
Workflow Step Has No Decision Owner
A workflow step requires a decision, approval, judgment, or routing choice, but no owner is declared for making it.
Workflow Step Lacks Required Conditions
A workflow step can run, route, approve, reject, or continue without the required conditions being declared or checked.
Workflow Waits on Step That Waits Back
A workflow step waits for another step that also waits on the first step, creating a blocking loop.
