Problem
Find failure modes fast—simulate scarcity rather than wait for production outages.
Scarcity components exercised
Simulation harness, resilience checks, aggregation patterns under stress.
What worked
Client dropout simulations revealed stale-update risks early; bandwidth throttling forced payload compression plans.
What failed
Adversarial update tests are incomplete; need better poisoning detection before rollout.
Next steps
Add poisoning scenarios, automate staleness decay, and link outcomes directly into the constraint ledger.
