What it means

A bare pipe or concept reference resolves in several packages.

What to do

Write the reference package-qualified, as alias->domain.Name, or domain-qualified, so that it names one of params.candidates.

Next steps

A problem carries the step aimed at whoever reads it: the first when its 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`	Qualify the reference '`{ref}`' so that it names one declaration, then validate the method again.
Any other reader	`contact_owner`	Ask the method's owner to qualify the reference '`{ref}`'.
