  "mechanism": "A typed failure signaling that an acceptance gate rejection requires lateral reframing of the problem rather than retry. Produced by an {{accept_spec}} when a non-compensatory gate fails, the FrameError carries the specific gate that rejected and a reframing hint pointing the upstream planner toward a different frame. Distinct from transient failures (which warrant {{retry}}) and from compensable failures (which warrant {{compensate}}): a FrameError asserts that the current frame is wrong, not that execution went wrong.",
  "gloss": "Typed failure signaling that lateral reframing, not retry, is required",
  "invariants": [
    "A FrameError from a child forces the parent to restructure its approach, not re-execute.",
    "Must carry identification of the rejecting gate and a reframing hint — a bare FrameError without context is actionable only as 'halt'."

  "failure_modes": [
    "Receiving Solver treats FrameError as a generic failure and retries, wasting budget on the wrong frame.",
    "Missing reframing hint leaves the parent Solver unable to select a new approach — degenerates to halt.",
