| Type | Example | Result | | ----------- | -------------------------- | ------------- | | Symptom Fix | setTimeout to wait for DOM | Breaks later | | Root Cause | Use React ref properly | Permanent fix | | Symptom Fix | Add flag for double-submit | Complexity ↑ | | Root Cause | Disable button on submit | Simple fix |
5 Whys Process

Discover undocumented design decisions and challenge each candidate via critic-design before promotion. Rank by impact and reversibility, produce ADR promotion candidates. Treat each candidate as a position arguing for ADR status, not a fact to be filed. Pairs with audit-adr-drift, which scans existing ADRs for drift against code.
