Decorator's transparent wrapping introduces two operational constraints that distinguish it from simple delegation: object identity breaks across decoration boundaries (decorated != original under ==), and the order of decorator composition affects behavior (A(B(x)) differs from B(A(x))) — both are consequences clients must accommodate when using recursive wrapping.
Two independent Decorator liabilities (identity breakage, order sensitivity) combine into a composite operational constraint profile for transparent wrapping
