Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ambiguous destructive action copy | Flag this anti-pattern when the destructive or safe action label does not name what will happen. | Every destructive control label must answer what action will happen and what object or scope it affects. | Dialog guidance supports deliberate destructive confirmations rather than vague modal decisions. |
| Destructive action confirmation | Choose destructive action confirmation when a destructive command needs a final commit review before permanent or externally visible loss. | The confirmation appears only after a user-initiated destructive command. | Maersk dialog guidance reserves disruptive dialogs for decisions and explicitly includes destructive-action confirmation. |
