Status: OUT
The GoF catalog achieves complete temporal design coverage across the full object lifecycle: creational patterns manage the instantiation moment (which type, how many, when created), Bridge and Adapter manage interface coupling evolution across the design lifecycle (anticipating vs. reconciling), and behavioral patterns manage runtime variation — covering the arc from object birth through interface maturity to runtime adaptation.
Creational patterns cover birth, Bridge/Adapter cover interface evolution, behavioral patterns cover runtime — full temporal arc
