R15.3: Form submit recovery

Short answer: Failed form submission preserves user input for retry. A form that clears on failure makes people retype everything.

Group: Error boundaries and fallback rendering. Status: stable. Generated from the rule definitions; do not edit by hand.

What it catches

Form submit recovery: failed form submission preserves user input for retry.

Why

A form that clears on failure makes people retype everything.

A bad example

onError: () => form.reset()

A good example

onError: (e) => setErrors(e.fields)  // values stay

How it is checked

Nothing yet. No scanner and no slice card checks it: it is a standing rule for authors and reviewers.

How to silence it

A person can silence one finding with brevio-core: ignore R15.3 -- reason on the line or the line above. Without the reason it does not count. An agent cannot silence it: the agent hook and the MCP tools never honour the comment, and a pull request that adds one is reported until a reviewer allows it. Fixing the code is still the better answer.

To change what the rule flags, edit its definition in dev_rules.py or code_rules/__init__.py. That is a code change and is reviewed like one.
