# LDC-E0206 — A value the slice does not store

## What it means

Some shapes are grammar-valid but outside what the current slice keeps: an
explicit numeric value on an enumeration variant, a selection of imported
names in braces, an alias. The parser recognizes the shape and refuses it
with its own message instead of a generic syntax error, so the author learns
which construct to avoid rather than where a comma goes.

The remedy is the slice form of the same declaration: variants addressed by
name alone, imports without selections or aliases. Nothing else in the
package changes.

## Example

```law
language "law.core" version "0.2";
package demo.diagnostics version "0.1.0";
namespace "urn:law:demo:diagnostics";

enum Color { Red = 1; }
```

## Fix

```law
language "law.core" version "0.2";
package demo.diagnostics version "0.1.0";
namespace "urn:law:demo:diagnostics";

enum Color { Red; Green; }
```

## Engine message

The engine reports this in its own wording:

```text
example.law:5:18: error LDC-E0206: enum variant value §38 outside slice 0.1: the variant is addressed by its name
```
