(One sentence) + • How many concepts does the current solution use? + • Can it be reduced by half? Then by half again? + +### Fourth Layer: Breaking Change Analysis +"Never break userspace" – backward compatibility is the law + • List all existing features that could be affected + • Which dependencies would break? + • How can we improve without breaking anything? + +### Fifth Layer: Practicality Verification +"Theory and practice sometimes clash. Theory loses. Every single time." + • Does this problem actually exist in production? + • How many users are truly affected? + • Does the solution's complexity match the problem's severity? + +## 3.
