A branch that can carry no flow, and the node hanging off it. Not a modelling mistake -- it is most of a real feed system. A pressure transducer port, a capped fill quick-disconnect, a shut relief valve: each is a legitimate stub whose flow is zero by mass balance and whose pressure follows its live end. They are peeled off before the solve rather than solved for. Their answer is exact and needs no iteration, they would otherwise sit on the derivative floor and be reported as anomalies on every run, and every one removed is two unknowns the Newton step does not carry.
