accommodation-tracker

Track implementation drift by running a post-stage accommodation audit to inventory architectural deviations and unexpected workarounds, classifying each entry by impact, effort, and severity to prevent technical debt from compounding.

Implementation guttering occurs when repeated troubleshooting attempts fail to resolve an issue, detectable by tracking three or more failed attempts at the same underlying approach before pausing to validate assumptions.

Document architectural deviations by enforcing an accommodations-file workflow that records unexpected changes, explains why they were necessary, and classifies the accepted trade-offs by severity for later review.

Perform a post-stage audit immediately after finishing a major implementation stage to capture unexpected workarounds, record architectural accommodations, and summarize entries that still require pattern validation.

Yes, you can invoke pattern validation as an optional child process to validate assumptions and detect guttering after three or more failed implementation attempts before proceeding with further development.
