 ## Tips for All Patterns
 
-1. **Always use `e.Handled = true`** in `Accepting` event handlers
+1. **Use `-ed` events (`Accepted`) for side effects**; use `Accepting` + `e.Handled = true` only to inspect or cancel
 2. **Use `Dim.Fill()` and `Pos.Center()`** instead of hardcoded values
 3. **Call `App!.RequestStop()`** to close the current window
 4. **Use `MessageBox.Query`** for simple dialogs
