+Feature: flagd type mismatch handling
+
+  # Validates that asking for a flag through the wrong accessor returns the caller's default
+  # with error code TYPE_MISMATCH, rather than a coerced value. A coerced value is the worst
+  # failure mode a flag has: the application receives something plausible and no signal that
+  # anything went wrong.
+  #
+  # Numeric coercion is deliberately absent. Whether 0.5 may be narrowed to an integer is
+  # unsettled in the specification (https://github.com/open-feature/spec/issues/430), and
+  # flagd's own ADR permits coercion when it is lossless -- so an integer/float row here would
+  # assert a rule that does not exist yet. "Is a string a boolean?" has no such defence.
+  #
