## Files Created/Modified
- `pmcp-course/src/part4-testing/ch12-remote-testing.md` - Added Load Testing section, updated learning objectives, summary, and practice ideas

## Decisions Made
- Placed the new section between "Regression Testing" and "Chapter Summary" for natural flow from functional testing to performance testing
- Kept section to ~37 lines (within 30-50 target) to stay referential rather than duplicating Ch 18-03 content
- Used blockquote callout style for the cross-reference to match existing course conventions

## Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written.

## Issues Encountered
None.

## User Setup Required
None - no external service configuration required.

## Next Phase Readiness
- Ch 12 now has load testing discovery point directing learners to Ch 18-03
- Phase 22 plans complete (22-01 and 22-02 both done)
- Ready for Phase 23 or Phase 24 (course quizzes) as applicable
