What is a Missing Precedent?

A Missing Precedent refers to an object that is utilized within your application but cannot be found in the application's current structure. This often occurs when an application relies on components such as rules, constants, or other objects that have either been deleted, renamed, or are located in a different application. Identifying and resolving missing precedents is crucial because they can lead to errors in functionality, as the application expects these objects to exist for proper operation.

The other choices do not accurately define a Missing Precedent. For example, a dependency that is missing in the current application suggests a broader context that may not strictly align with how precedents are defined. A placeholder for future objects indicates an object that is intentionally left unfilled, which does not relate to precedents already in use. Lastly, a user who has not been invited refers to access control rather than application structure, making it irrelevant in this context.
