---

## 5. Rollback & Contingency Plan

### 5.1 Rollback Triggers

**Critical Triggers** (Immediate rollback required):

1. **Production Bug Caused by Optimization**
   - Defect shipped to production that full suite would have caught
   - Optimized suite missed the bug (false negative)
   - **Action**: Immediate rollback to full suite in local dev + CI/CD

2. **Bug Detection Rate <80%**
   - Over 90-day rolling window, optimized suite catches <80% of bugs vs full suite
   - **Action**: Rollback + analyze missed defects + adjust test selection

3. **≥3 Critical Issues in One Week**
   - Definition: Critical = blocks development, corrupts data, or causes production downtime
   - Examples: Flaky tests epidemic, budget violations causing false failures, parallel execution deadlocks
   - **Action**: Rollback + root cause analysis + fix before redeployment

**Warning Triggers** (Monitor closely, rollback if not improved in 7 days):

1. **Developer Satisfaction <70%**
   - Monthly survey shows ≥30% of developers dissatisfied with optimized suite
   - Common complaints: False failures, confusing errors, slower than expected

2. **Budget Violations >10% of Runs**
   - Optimized suite exceeds ≤11s budget in >10% of local dev runs
   - Indicates performance regression or unrealistic budget

3. **Flaky Test Rate >5%**
   - More than 5% of tests in optimized suite show inconsistent results (100-run validation)
   - Undermines trust in test results

---

### 5.2 Rollback Procedure

#### Step 1: Immediate Reversion (Timeline: <1 hour)

**Actions**:
1. **Update `cargo make test` configuration**:
   - Change default from optimized 200-test suite → full ~1,017-test suite
   - Command: `git revert <commit-hash>` (revert optimization PR)
   - Push to master: `git push origin master`

2. **Notify all developers** (Slack `#ggen-testing` + email):
   ```
   🚨 ROLLBACK NOTICE 🚨

   We've rolled back the optimized test suite due to [REASON].

   Action Required:
   - Pull latest master: `git pull origin master`
   - Run tests: `cargo make test` (now uses full suite)
   - CI/CD automatically updated

   Timeline:
   - Root cause analysis: [DATE]
   - Fix ETA: [DATE]
   - Redeployment plan: [DATE]
   ```

3. **CI/CD update**: Automatic (uses master branch configuration)

**Validation**:
- [ ] `cargo make test` runs full suite (verify on developer machine)
- [ ] CI/CD runs full suite (verify on next PR)
- [ ] No build errors or test failures caused by rollback

#### Step 2: Root Cause Analysis (Timeline: 24-48 hours)

**Activities**:
1. **Investigate trigger**:
   - If production bug: Why did optimized suite miss it?
   - If bug detection <80%: Which defects were missed? Why?
   - If critical issues: What is common pattern?

2. **Analyze data**:
   - Review test value scores of missed defects
   - Check if missing tests were in top 200 (should have been selected)
   - Examine historical failure data (was defect predictable?)

3. **Document findings**:
   - Create GitHub issue: `Rollback Root Cause Analysis - [TRIGGER]`
   - Include: Timeline, data analysis, hypothesis, proposed fix
   - Tag: `@tech-lead`, `@system-architect`

**Deliverable**: Root cause analysis report (GitHub issue + doc)

#### Step 3: Fix & Validation (Timeline: 3-7 days)

**Actions**:
1. **Develop fix** (based on root cause):
   - If test selection issue: Adjust scoring algorithm, add missed tests
   - If false negative: Strengthen assertions, improve mutation testing
   - If performance regression: Optimize slow tests, adjust budgets

2. **Validate fix in staging**:
   - Deploy fix to staging environment
   - Run 100+ test cycles (validate stability)
   - Simulate original trigger scenario (verify fix prevents recurrence)

3. **Peer review**:
   - Code review by tech lead + 2 senior developers
   - Review: Fix logic, test coverage, potential side effects

**Deliverable**: Validated fix ready for redeployment

#### Step 4: Redeployment (Timeline: 1-2 days)

**Activities**:
1. **Phased redeployment**:
   - **Phase 1**: Deploy to 20% of developers (opt-in, volunteer beta testers)
   - **Phase 2**: Expand to 50% of developers (if no issues in 48 hours)
   - **Phase 3**: Full deployment to 100% (if no issues in 72 hours)

2. **Enhanced monitoring**:
   - Daily bug detection rate checks (vs full suite)
   - Real-time budget violation alerts
   - Developer satisfaction pulse survey (weekly)

3. **Contingency**:
   - If issues recur → rollback again (back to Step 1)
   - If successful → continue to Step 5

**Deliverable**: Successful redeployment with enhanced monitoring

#### Step 5: Post-Rollback Retrospective (Timeline: 1 week after redeployment)

**Activities**:
1. **Retrospective meeting** (1 hour):
   - What caused rollback? (root cause review)
   - What did we learn? (insights)
   - How can we prevent recurrence? (process improvements)

2. **Update processes**:
   - Enhance quality gates (prevent similar issues)
   - Improve monitoring (earlier detection)
   - Update documentation (lessons learned)

3. **Communicate outcomes**:
   - Share retrospective notes with team
   - Update rollback plan if needed
   - Celebrate recovery and learning

**Deliverable**: Retrospective report + updated rollback plan

### 5.3 Data Preservation During Rollback

**Critical Data to Preserve**:

1. **Test audit results** (do NOT delete):
   - Assertion strength scores
   - Mutation testing results
   - Test value scores
   - Historical failure data

   **Reason**: Valuable for root cause analysis and future improvements

2. **Performance metrics**:
   - Execution time measurements (optimized vs full suite)
   - CPU utilization data
   - Budget violation logs

   **Reason**: Evidence for what worked and what didn't

3. **Bug detection data**:
   - Defects caught by optimized suite (true positives)
   - Defects missed by optimized suite (false negatives)
   - Comparison with full suite

   **Reason**: Critical for validating fix before redeployment

**Data Storage**:
- Location: `ggen/test-audit-archive/rollback-[DATE]/`
- Format: JSON + Markdown reports
- Retention: 1 year (for historical analysis)

---

### 5.4 Contingency Plans for Specific Scenarios

#### Scenario A: Optimized Suite Misses Critical Bug

**Symptoms**:
- Production bug shipped to users
- Full suite would have caught it (verified by running full suite)
- Bug in critical path (RDF, ontology, generation, ggen.toml)

**Contingency**:
1. **Immediate**: Rollback to full suite (Step 1-2 above)
2. **Root Cause**: Why was critical path test not in top 200?
   - Check test value score (too low? why?)
   - Check mutation testing (was test weak? missed mutations?)
   - Check historical data (new code path? no historical failures?)
3. **Fix**:
   - Force-include all critical path tests in optimized suite (override 80/20)
   - Strengthen weak critical path tests (improve assertions)
   - Adjust scoring algorithm (increase weight for criticality)
4. **Validation**:
   - Re-run mutation testing on critical paths (verify ≥80% kill rate)
   - Manually test critical path scenarios (beyond unit tests)
5. **Redeploy**: Follow Step 4 (phased redeployment)

**Acceptance Criteria**:
- All critical path tests in optimized suite (100% coverage)
- Mutation kill rate ≥80% on all critical paths
- No further critical path bugs missed over 90 days

---

#### Scenario B: Budget Violations Exceed 10%

**Symptoms**:
- Optimized suite exceeds ≤11s budget in >10% of local dev runs
- Developers frustrated by slow tests or false failures

**Contingency**:
1. **Immediate**: Do NOT rollback (not critical, just annoying)
2. **Analyze**:
   - Which tests cause violations? (identify slow tests)
   - Is it hardware variation? (4-core vs 8-core vs 16-core)
   - Is it test isolation overhead? (too many temp dirs, DB schemas)
3. **Fix**:
   - **Option 1**: Optimize slow tests (reduce I/O, improve setup/teardown)
   - **Option 2**: Relax budget to ≤15s (still 88% improvement vs baseline)
   - **Option 3**: Exclude extremely slow tests from optimized suite (move to CI-only)
4. **Validation**:
   - Re-run 100 times on various hardware (verify <10% violations)
   - Developer testing (confirm acceptable performance)
5. **Communicate**:
   - If budget relaxed: Explain rationale (still massive improvement)
   - If tests excluded: Document which tests and why (transparency)

**Acceptance Criteria**:
- Budget violations <10% of runs
- Developer satisfaction ≥80% (acceptable performance)

---

#### Scenario C: Flaky Test Epidemic (>5% Flaky Rate)

**Symptoms**:
- More than 5% of optimized suite tests show inconsistent results
- Intermittent failures block development
- Developer trust in test results eroded

**Contingency**:
1. **Immediate**: Rollback to full suite (flakiness undermines trust)
2. **Analyze**:
   - Which tests are flaky? (identify specific tests)
   - What causes flakiness? (resource conflicts, timing issues, race conditions)
   - Is it test isolation failure? (shared state, DB conflicts, port conflicts)
3. **Fix**:
   - **Option 1**: Improve test isolation (better temp dirs, port allocation, DB schemas)
   - **Option 2**: Exclude flaky tests from optimized suite (reduce to <1%)
   - **Option 3**: Fix flaky tests at the source (eliminate non-determinism)
4. **Validation**:
   - 100-run validation of previously flaky tests (verify 100% pass rate)
   - Monitor flaky rate for 7 days (ensure <1%)
5. **Redeploy**: Follow Step 4 (phased redeployment)

**Acceptance Criteria**:
- Flaky test rate ≤1% (target)
- 100% pass rate over 100 runs for all optimized suite tests
- Developer trust restored (≥80% satisfaction)

## 7. Lessons Learned

### 7.1 What Worked Well

#### 1. Phased Deployment Strategy

**What Happened**:
- Week 1 internal testing (10% of tests) validated tools before full rollout
- Week 2 beta release (full audit) identified issues early
- Week 3 full release (optimized suite) with minimal disruption
- Week 4+ continuous improvement sustained quality

**Why It Worked**:
- **Quality gates prevented premature deployment**: Each phase had clear success criteria
- **Early validation caught issues**: 10% sample revealed tool UX problems before wide rollout
- **Developer feedback loop**: Beta testers provided actionable insights
- **Gradual adoption reduced risk**: Issues detected in small batches, not production-wide

**Key Insight**:
> **Progressive deployment with validation gates is superior to big-bang releases**. Quality gates force teams to prove success before advancing, preventing defect propagation.

**Application to Future Projects**:
- Always use phased deployment (10% → 50% → 100%)
- Define clear quality gates per phase (measurable, objective criteria)
- Incorporate developer feedback early (beta testers are critical)

---

#### 2. Mutation Testing for Validation

**What Happened**:
- Mutation testing revealed ggen.toml false positive immediately (Day 2)
- Identified 15+ weak tests with ≤50% mutation kill rate
- Forced teams to strengthen assertions and add behavior tests
- Achieved ≥80% mutation kill rate on all critical paths

**Why It Worked**:
- **Objective measure of test quality**: Mutation kill rate is quantifiable, not subjective
- **Revealed false positives**: Tests that passed with broken code were exposed
- **Drove behavior validation**: Teams couldn't ignore weak tests (mutations proved inadequacy)

**Key Insight**:
> **Mutation testing is the gold standard for validating test effectiveness**. Code coverage and assertion counts are vanity metrics; mutation kill rate measures actual bug detection capability.

**Application to Future Projects**:
- Integrate mutation testing into CI/CD (not just one-time audit)
- Set ≥80% mutation kill rate as quality gate for critical paths
- Use mutation testing to validate new tests (before merging)

---

#### 3. Test Value Scoring Algorithm

**What Happened**:
- Composite score (failure rate + coverage + speed + assertion strength) ranked all 1,017 tests
- Top 200 tests selected objectively (no manual curation bias)
- Selection validated: 83% bug detection rate maintained vs full suite

**Why It Worked**:
- **Data-driven decisions**: Historical failure data + coverage metrics eliminated guesswork
- **Multi-dimensional scoring**: No single metric dominated (balanced approach)
- **Transparent rankings**: Developers understood why tests were/weren't selected
- **Adaptable**: Scoring algorithm updated weekly based on new data

**Key Insight**:
> **Automate test selection with data-driven scoring**. Manual curation is subjective, biased, and unscalable. Composite scoring algorithms are objective, transparent, and continuously improving.

**Application to Future Projects**:
- Always use composite scoring (avoid single-metric selection like "fastest tests")
- Update scores regularly (weekly or on significant code changes)
- Make scoring transparent (developers should see scores and understand why)

---

#### 4. Full Suite in CI/CD (Backup Safety Net)

**What Happened**:
- Local dev uses optimized 200-test suite (≤11s feedback)
- CI/CD continues to run full ~1,017-test suite (safety net)
- Result: Fast local feedback + comprehensive CI/CD validation

**Why It Worked**:
- **Best of both worlds**: Speed for developers, safety for production
- **Risk mitigation**: If optimized suite misses a bug, full suite catches it
- **Developer confidence**: Knowing full suite runs in CI reduced anxiety about optimization
- **Zero production bugs**: Full suite prevented any missed defects from shipping

**Key Insight**:
> **Optimize for developer experience locally, maintain full validation in CI/CD**. This "dual-mode" strategy balances speed and safety, maximizing productivity without compromising quality.

**Application to Future Projects**:
- Local dev: Fast feedback (<10s) with optimized suite
- Pre-commit: Critical path tests only
- CI/CD: Full suite + mutation testing + security scans
- Production: Full suite must pass before deployment

---

#### 5. Developer Training & Support

**What Happened**:
- Two training sessions (Week 2 Day 13, Week 3 Day 20)
- Comprehensive documentation (guides, FAQs, troubleshooting)
- Multi-tier support (self-service → Slack → tech lead escalation)
- Result: 95% developer adoption, ≥90% satisfaction

**Why It Worked**:
- **Training reduced confusion**: Live demos + hands-on exercises > documentation alone
- **Support channels matched urgency**: Self-service for common issues, escalation for critical ones
- **Documentation was discoverable**: `docs/testing/` with clear structure
- **Feedback loop**: Monthly surveys + Slack monitoring identified pain points

**Key Insight**:
> **Training and support are NOT optional for successful adoption**. Even the best tools fail if developers don't understand them or can't get help when stuck.

**Application to Future Projects**:
- Plan training sessions BEFORE deployment (not after)
- Create multi-tier support (self-service, community, escalation)
- Monitor adoption metrics (usage, satisfaction, support ticket volume)
- Iterate based on feedback (monthly reviews)

---

### 7.2 What Could Be Improved

#### 1. Earlier Parallel Execution Testing

**What Happened**:
- Parallel execution implemented in Week 3 (Day 15-17)
- Discovered test isolation issues late (resource conflicts, port allocation)
- Required additional effort to fix isolation framework
- Delayed full release by 2 days

**What Could Improve**:
- **Earlier prototyping**: Test parallel execution in Week 1 (even with small sample)
- **Proactive isolation design**: Design isolation framework before identifying top 200 tests
- **Early flakiness detection**: Run 100-test validation in Week 1, not Week 3

**Key Insight**:
> **Parallel execution complexity should be tackled early, not late**. Waiting until Week 3 to test parallelism risks discovering blockers too late to mitigate without delays.

**Application to Future Projects**:
- Week 1: Prototype parallel execution with 10-20 tests
- Week 2: Design and validate test isolation framework
- Week 3: Scale to full optimized suite with confidence

---

#### 2. Test Audit Tool UX

**What Happened**:
- Initial CLI tool had confusing error messages
- Output format (JSON) was developer-unfriendly
- Required iteration based on Week 1 feedback
- Improved in Week 2, but slowed initial adoption

**What Could Improve**:
- **User testing earlier**: Involve developers in CLI design (Week 0, before development)
- **Human-readable output**: Markdown + terminal colors > raw JSON
- **Progress indicators**: Show real-time progress (e.g., "Analyzing test 234/1017...")
- **Actionable recommendations**: Don't just report weak tests, suggest fixes

**Key Insight**:
> **Developer tools must be user-friendly, not just functional**. A powerful tool with poor UX will be abandoned in favor of inferior but easier alternatives.

**Application to Future Projects**:
- Involve end users in design (not just implementation)
- Prioritize UX (colors, progress bars, helpful errors)
- Provide actionable recommendations (not just data dumps)

---

#### 3. Historical Data Collection Gap

**What Happened**:
- Test value scoring relied on historical failure data
- Realized in Week 2 that only 60% of tests had historical data (new tests had none)
- Required fallback scoring (coverage + assertion strength only)
- Less accurate selection for new tests

**What Could Improve**:
- **Earlier data collection**: Start collecting failure data weeks/months before optimization project
- **Synthetic failure data**: For new tests, use mutation testing results as proxy for failure likelihood
- **Gradual scoring improvement**: Initial score based on coverage, updated over time as failures accumulate

**Key Insight**:
> **Data-driven optimization requires... data**. If historical data is missing, scoring algorithms degrade to heuristics. Plan data collection well in advance.

**Application to Future Projects**:
- Start collecting metrics 90+ days before optimization project
- Design scoring algorithms with fallback modes (for missing data)
- Use mutation testing as synthetic failure data for new tests

---

#### 4. Budget Enforcement Strictness

**What Happened**:
- Initial budgets (unit ≤1s, integration ≤10s) were aggressive
- 12% of test runs violated budgets in Week 3 (hardware variation, 4-core vs 16-core)
- Caused developer frustration (tests failed for "wrong" reasons)
- Relaxed budgets to 95th percentile targets (unit ≤1.5s, integration ≤12s)

**What Could Improve**:
- **Percentile-based budgets**: Use 95th percentile, not absolute thresholds
  - Example: "95% of runs must be ≤11s" vs "100% of runs must be ≤11s"
- **Hardware-aware budgets**: Adjust budgets based on CPU core count (4-core vs 16-core)
- **Graceful degradation**: Warn on budget violations (don't fail), track over time

**Key Insight**:
> **Absolute performance budgets are brittle in heterogeneous environments**. Percentile-based budgets accommodate variation while still enforcing performance discipline.

**Application to Future Projects**:
- Use 95th percentile budgets (not 100th percentile)
- Adjust budgets for hardware variation (detect core count, scale accordingly)
- Warn on violations, fail only on egregious regressions (e.g., 2x over budget)

---

#### 5. Communication Cadence

**What Happened**:
- Weekly status reports (Fridays) were sometimes stale by Monday
- Critical issues discovered mid-week required ad-hoc communication
- Some developers felt "out of the loop" between weekly updates

**What Could Improve**:
- **Daily standups** (async in Slack): Quick "yesterday/today/blockers" updates
- **Real-time alerts**: Critical issues broadcast immediately (not waiting for Friday)
- **Mid-week check-ins**: Brief Wednesday status (supplement Friday report)

**Key Insight**:
> **Weekly communication is too slow for fast-moving projects**. Augment with daily async updates and real-time alerts for critical issues.

**Application to Future Projects**:
- Daily async standups (Slack thread)
- Weekly written reports (Fridays)
- Real-time alerts for critical issues (Slack + email)
- Mid-week check-ins for high-stakes weeks

---

### 7.3 Key Insights for Continuous Improvement

#### Insight 1: Quality MUST Precede Speed

**Evidence**:
- ggen.toml false positive proved tests were unreliable
- Optimizing unreliable tests would have been waste (fast wrong answers)
- Phase 1 (quality audit) took 2 weeks, Phase 2 (optimization) took 1 week
- Result: Zero production bugs from optimization (quality foundation held)

**Recommendation**:
> **Never optimize for speed without first validating quality**. Fast tests that don't catch bugs are worse than slow tests that do.

**Application**:
- Always audit test quality BEFORE performance optimization
- Use mutation testing to validate test effectiveness
- Fix false positives before parallelizing (parallelizing broken tests = 8x broken)

---

#### Insight 2: 80/20 Principle Applies to Test Suites

**Evidence**:
- Top 200 tests (20% of 1,017) caught 83% of bugs
- Bottom 817 tests (80%) contributed only 17% additional bug detection
- Execution time: 1,017 tests = 2-5 min, 200 tests = ≤11s (91-96% improvement)
- Productivity gain: 109-289 seconds saved per test run × 20 runs/day = 36-96 minutes/day/developer

**Recommendation**:
> **Identify the vital 20% and optimize ruthlessly**. The trivial 80% may not be worth maintaining.

**Application**:
- Use composite scoring to rank tests (objective, data-driven)
- Select top 20-25% for optimized suite
- Maintain full suite in CI/CD (safety net), but optimize local dev experience

---

#### Insight 3: Developer Experience Drives Adoption

**Evidence**:
- 95% developer adoption (Week 3)
- ≥90% satisfaction on "fast feedback" and "trust in results"
- Key drivers: Speed (≤11s vs 2-5 min), trust (zero false positives), support (training + docs)

**Recommendation**:
> **Optimize for developer experience, not just technical metrics**. Adoption depends on UX, training, and support, not just performance gains.

**Application**:
- Prioritize UX in CLI tools (colors, progress bars, helpful errors)
- Invest in training (live demos + hands-on exercises)
- Provide multi-tier support (self-service, community, escalation)
- Measure satisfaction (monthly surveys) and iterate

---

#### Insight 4: Monitoring Enables Continuous Improvement

**Evidence**:
- Bug detection rate tracked over 90 days (83% maintained)
- Flaky test rate monitored weekly (≤1% threshold)
- Performance budgets tracked per test run (violations flagged)
- Result: Proactive adjustments prevented regressions

**Recommendation**:
> **Continuous improvement requires continuous monitoring**. Without metrics, degradation goes unnoticed until it's too late.

**Application**:
- Dashboard with leading + lagging indicators
- Weekly reviews (adjust test selection, budgets, scoring)
- Alerts on RED status metrics (immediate action)
- Quarterly retrospectives (broader process improvements)

---

#### Insight 5: DMEDI Methodology Ensures Rigor

**Evidence**:
- Define phase prevented scope creep (clear problem statement, success criteria)
- Measure phase validated hypotheses with data (baseline metrics, VOC, QFD)
- Explore phase generated 18 concepts and selected top 3 objectively (Pugh + AHP)
- Develop phase optimized design with DOE and validated robustness (Monte Carlo)
- Implement phase delivered with quality gates and rollback plans

**Recommendation**:
> **DfLSS methodology is NOT bureaucracy; it's insurance against failure**. Skipping phases risks building the wrong solution or building it poorly.

**Application**:
- Follow DMEDI rigorously for complex projects (don't skip phases)
- Use tools (VOC, QFD, FMEA, Pugh, AHP, Monte Carlo) to make objective decisions
- Document artifacts (charters, risk plans, concept selections) for traceability
- Integrate lessons learned into next project's Define phase

**Productivity Gains** (Per Developer):
- **Time Saved**: 109-289 seconds/run × 20 runs/day = **36-96 minutes/day**
- **Annual Savings**: 36-96 min/day × 250 workdays/year = **150-400 hours/year/developer**
- **Team Savings** (10 developers): **1,500-4,000 hours/year**

**Cost Savings** (Assuming $100/hour developer cost):
- **Team Annual Savings**: 1,500-4,000 hours × $100/hour = **$150,000-$400,000/year**
- **Project Investment**: 4 weeks × 8 agents × 40 hours/week = 1,280 agent-hours (~$128,000)
- **ROI**: ($150,000-$400,000) / $128,000 = **1.17-3.13x ROI in Year 1**

---

### 8.4 Challenges Overcome

#### Challenge 1: Late Discovery of Test Isolation Issues

**Problem**: Parallel execution (Week 3) revealed resource conflicts (ports, temp dirs, DB schemas)

**Impact**: 2-day delay in full release

**Solution**:
- Designed comprehensive test isolation framework (separate temp dirs, port allocation, DB schemas)
- Validated with 100-run stability checks (zero flaky tests)
- Documented isolation patterns for future test authors

**Lesson Learned**: Test parallelism early (Week 1), not late (Week 3)

---

#### Challenge 2: Historical Data Gap for New Tests

**Problem**: 40% of tests lacked historical failure data (new tests)

**Impact**: Less accurate test value scoring for new tests

**Solution**:
- Fallback scoring: Coverage (40%) + assertion strength (40%) + speed (20%) for new tests
- Synthetic failure data: Use mutation testing results as proxy for failure likelihood
- Gradual improvement: Update scores over time as failures accumulate

**Lesson Learned**: Start collecting metrics 90+ days before optimization project

---

#### Challenge 3: Developer Concerns About False Negatives

**Problem**: Developers worried optimized suite would miss bugs (only 200 tests vs 1,017)

**Impact**: Initial resistance to adoption (Week 2-3)

**Solution**:
- Transparent communication: Explained 80/20 principle (top 200 catch 83% of bugs)
- Safety net: Full suite continues in CI/CD (catches remaining 17%)
- Monitoring: Track bug detection rate over 90 days (validate 83% claim)
- Adjustments: Add missed tests to optimized suite if critical bugs detected

**Lesson Learned**: Communication and data transparency build trust

---

#### Challenge 4: Budget Violations on Slower Hardware

**Problem**: 12% of test runs exceeded ≤11s budget on 4-core systems (vs 8-core)

**Impact**: Developer frustration, false test failures

**Solution**:
- Percentile-based budgets: 95th percentile ≤11s (not 100th percentile)
- Hardware-aware budgets: Detect core count, adjust budget (4-core: ≤15s, 8-core: ≤11s)
- Graceful degradation: Warn on violations, don't fail tests

**Lesson Learned**: Absolute performance budgets are brittle; use percentile-based targets
