There are different Mesoras — plural — that specific yeshivas have. These govern (or could) what to do and how to do it across anything. Specifics obviously depend on the particular one you’re looking at.
Sam posed the following question earlier:
The answer is neither. I’m not getting involved in the [potential] requirement for mesora to “have” a mitzva, or to identify a particular element necessary for one. What I’m saying is that there are other svaras that a mesora can/does create a very strong default muchzak on whatever was being done by the one who is/was transmitting the mesora. Now, I, mitoch rov chisaron daati, am not claiming that I understand how this stuff works. Cuz I do not. But that doesn’t mean anything. I’m just pointing out that there is a completely different way that a mesora can talk to (and therefore litigate against) techeiles that has nothing to do with the dynamic of the necessity of “the” mesora to have / identify an element of a mitzva.
Thus, this “dimension”, if you will, of mesora, operates with a range of svaras that are not of the strict halachic variety necessarily of that which the rishonim are discussing.
And much of this stuff is very grey area material, quite naturally, and is therefore presumably disputed on various points amongst various gedolim, etc.
