alternative-path-contrast

name	alternative-path-contrast
description	Introduce a structured alternative treatment for failure regimes so rare cases and recovery behavior are explicit without turning the method into generic control scaffolding.

defect_tags

• brittle_single_path
• rare_regime_failure
• weak_fallback_behavior

guardrails

• Limit the number of new paths; one alternative path should address one concrete failure regime.
• State the observable condition that separates the primary regime from the alternative treatment.
• Validate the regimes where the alternative treatment should dominate or recover failure.

structural_mode

• path_branching

scope_preference

• execution_path

requires_control_centered_parent

• false

atomic_blueprint

• ADD_COMPONENT(alternative_path_module)
• REWIRE(alternative_path_module -> failure_regime_interface)
• ADD_PROTOCOL(ablation,stress)

required_protocols

• ablation
• stress

avoid_combinations

• REMOVE_COMPONENT(failure_regime_interface) in the same plan

execution_logic

1. Identify the defect from defect_tags.
2. Generate the solution by instantiating the atomic_blueprint.
3. Format: FUNCTION_NAME(ARGUMENTS) -> REASONING
