What does each named pattern cost in writing volume and state, what failure modes are attributed to it, and how could an agent recognise the pattern from a story graph?

Ashwell's post gives qualitative cost and failure statements only: a whole-body scan found no cost, hours or word-count terms and one digit string ('80 Days'). So 'writing volume' is stated only in relative terms (gauntlet easiest, sorting hat may mean several games, floating modules need a large amount of content). Graph recognition is not in the source; this candidate offers a labelled-synthesis rule table mapping each pattern's description to measurable graph and state properties, checked against one real graph (Cave of Time: near-tree, 0 cycles). Curator qualifications: Verified: Ashwell's post gives relative cost statements only (no quantitative figures). The recognition table is the producer's synthesis and is labelled so. Its single check (Cave of Time near-tree) is consistent with the reported statistics. It is untested as a classifier, and the source itself says categories overlap. Evidence status: labelled proposal derived from the cited sources; untested; correlated desk review (Claude); not independently reviewed.
