method.hint_invalid

A hint is not understood


Type	`https://mthds.ai/errors/method.hint_invalid`
Family	`method`: The method as written, the validation vocabulary included.
Domain	`method`: the method's author acts, by changing the method
Retry	`no`: repeating the operation fails the same way
HTTP status	none (warning)
Raised as	an item of a validate verdict's `warnings`, which never makes a method invalid

What it means

An advisory finding: a hint's key or intent word is unknown, or its intent does not apply where it is written. It never makes a method invalid.

What to do

Check the hint against the intent hints the standard defines, and correct or remove it.

Next steps

A warning carries no step of its own, since it is an item of a validate verdict, so its reader takes one of the code's steps: the first when the reader is the domain's actor, the method's author, and the second for any other reader.

Reader	Kind	Detail
The domain's actor	`change_method`	Correct or remove the hint '`{hint}`'.
Any other reader	`contact_owner`	Ask the method's owner to correct the hint '`{hint}`'.
