Drift Advisorby Althea Coutinho Get in touch

Explorations

Drift Advisor reads three live products and shows where one component renders differently, so a decision can be recorded once instead of guessed at three times. Two forks changed what it is.

The product’s job

It started as a drift detector. One finding in seven was actually drift.

So it stopped ranking problems by severity and started recording what was decided.

STALE Non-Fleet fell through to a framework default nobody chose Drift

FLEET STAGES Fleet has stages the other flows do not model Legal

PANIC A product call, and possibly a compliance one Routed

DANGER Cannot be ruled without opening one confirm dialog Blocked

PRIMARY A theme constant, not the local drift an earlier audit named Reclassified

DENSE DATA Every live table renders Manrope. The premise did not hold Withdrawn

HEADING Three products converged on a scale the ramp never defined Decided

One row of seven needed fixing. The other six needed recording.

Severity → DecideLegalRouteBlockedWithdraw

The unanswered question

The audit could name a conflict. It could not say where to fix it.

Seven sources of truth and no answer to which one changes. Two pull requests died on that.

#38769Closed unmerged

#43578Closed unmerged

Two attempts at a typed StatusTag, neither merged. The fix was never the hard part. Nobody could say which of the seven the decision belonged to, so it belonged to none of them.
