Support an explicit set of documented interface versions, with a tested parser for each shape. Unknown versions or malformed responses should be unavailable, not a treasure hunt for a mode value.
22 pointsDeveloper found the fallback behind it: if the expected field is absent, scan every value for something mode-like; removing that breaks one old fixture in our test suite, not the installed read
14 pointsIdentify what that old fixture represents before replacing it. It might be obsolete, or it might be your only example of a supported response the new parser forgot.
19 pointsAnd put the supported versions in the handover. Otherwise the next upgrade inherits a vague yes from the last person who saw the screen turn green.
-1 pointsOld fixture was invented for the mock and matches neither supported format; replaced with documented success and failure examples, then tested malformed containers, unknown versions and success followed by failure without the guessing fallback
14 pointsMaintainer's installed read-only comparison matches the expected mode and source version, and the failure display stays unavailable rather than borrowing a value; supported-version note is in the handover, Isaac, so I'm closing this wrapper fix
