Compare the rule with concrete cases
Original fictional action archives a folder label only. Child notes keep their own active states and remain available in the note list. A different cascade action would archive all children too. Neither behaviour follows merely from the folder containing them. No files are deleted in this lesson.
| Object | Before | After parent-only action | After hypothetical cascade |
|---|---|---|---|
| Folder F | Active | Archived | Archived |
| Note N1 | Active | Active | Archived |
| Note N2 | Active | Active | Archived |
Work through the distinction
Specify child-state effects alongside the parent action. The preserved children are a required result of parent-only behaviour, not an accidental omission.
How many child notes become archived under the original action?
Show the worked answer
Zero. Only the folder label changes; both child notes stay active.
Acceptance wording to adapt
Archive-folder-label must set F to archived while preserving N1 and N2 active. It must not delete children or change their state. Any cascade requires a separately specified action.
