dynamic attr anchor must reference a static element op

Error message

dynamic attr anchor must reference a static element op

What it means

Internal invariant: an attribute-bearing dynamic anchor must point at a static element op in the template. The expect fires when the anchor lacks that parent op, meaning template metadata is malformed.
