Defines and categorizes “false feedforward” errors where names, icons, and tooltips mislead users and builds five HTML/JavaScript prototypes: detour submenus, detour tooltips, dialog link‑ups, tool hot‑swaps, and did you mean history/or‑do to surface alternatives before, during, and after a misclick.
