Watch for glossary drift
AI vocabulary moves quickly. A definition that was clear during one model generation can become misleading after tools, providers, or platform boundaries change.
Drift review asks whether the term still matches current behavior, whether the examples still reproduce, and whether the protected/public boundary changed.
The repair is small but important: update the definition, update the entry, and update any field checkpoint that depends on it.
Aha moment
Shared vocabulary is a dependency, and dependencies drift.
Try this
Review field terms after model, tool, or platform boundary changes and update Dictionary plus notebook links together.
Watch for
- Definitions that describe a previous platform state
- Entries framing examples that no longer reproduce
- Protected/public boundaries changing without glossary updates
