The idea

The recurring five: Simp on a non-conjunction; inference rules applied to parts of lines; citing discharged lines; DS by affirming; negation mismatches unfixed by DN.

In practice

Each shown in a single wrong line with the error circled.

Where people slip

Every one of these is a valid rule applied where its conditions don't hold. The rules are never wrong; the reach is.
