Generated explanation

Two plan-view diagrams show movement of interior stair stringers alongside a wall. The left diagram depicts sideways displacement that creates a gap between the wall and stringer near the bottom of the stairs; the annotation notes that trim may conceal this gap. The right diagram shows the outer stringer bowing outward near the middle of the stair flight. Both diagrams identify stair treads that can lose their end support as the stringer moves away.
