What it is
What is visible in the shipped code. One signal is not a verdict. The score is the whole weighted set, not any single line of it.
How it is weighted
6 points is deliberately light. This one is a hint, and it is only interesting alongside others.
What to do about it
Remove the numbered narration. If a function needs 'Step 1 / Step 2' to be followable, split it into named functions instead.
Where it fires
None of our worked examples trip this one, which is itself informative — it means the pattern is rarer than the tells that fire constantly, so when it does show up it is worth paying attention to.
