## Repair

- Refactored by: Normalize Pattern, Extract Shared Convention
- Detected by: inconsistent implementations of same concern
- Violated by: same problem solved with incompatible patterns
- Measured by: pattern variance count
- Enforced by: linting, [review](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/review.md), scaffolding
