Changing the Spell Mid-Cast

Doctor Strange begins a world-scale memory spell before Peter has settled the requirements. Peter adds exception after exception mid-cast; Strange warns him to stop changing the parameters, then the spell breaks containment and opens the multiverse.

A high-impact operation starts before requirements are elicited, then accepts live specification changes without a clean abort-and-restart path. It is a vivid case for change control, rollback, and staged deployment.

The mechanism is magic, and the main failure is a reckless human workflow rather than autonomous optimization.
