Interface-Based Design / Interface Overuse
Kind: tension
Record: tension:interface-based-design-interface-overuse
Canonical: Schema
"interface-based-design" (contracts-core layer) is traded against "Interface Overuse" (contracts-core layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Interface Overuse" and choosing an explicit operating point.
