# Attack the Premise
## Trigger
When two or more fixes that share one premise have failed the same gate.
## Rule
Inventory who actually owns or exhibits the imbalance, then challenge the shared premise before writing another patch.
## Application
1. Name the concrete decision this principle changes.
2. Apply the rule to that decision, not as a decorative citation.
3. Prefer evidence from the current repository/runtime over generic preference.
4. If the principle conflicts with an explicit user constraint, keep the constraint and state the tradeoff.
