• Conflict resolution testing
• Data consistency verification

🛡️ Fault Tolerance Tests

• Failure Scenarios:
  • Agent crashes
  • Network timeouts
  • Memory overflow
  • Task timeouts
  • Communication failures
• Recovery Metrics:
  • Detection time
  • Recovery time
  • Success rate (target: 90%+)

⚡ Performance Integration Tests

• Multi-agent performance under load
• Scalability limits testing (1-15 agents)
• Throughput and latency measurements
• Resource utilization monitoring

Test Scopes

• Smoke: Basic functionality (2 coder, 1 tester)
• Core: Standard testing (7 agents total)
• Full: Comprehensive testing (14+ agents)
• Stress: Maximum load testing (15+ agents)

Success Criteria

• All coordination tests pass
• Memory synchronization works correctly
• 90%+ fault recovery success rate
• Performance within acceptable limits
• System remains stable under load

🔄 Automated Rollback Manager

File: .github/workflows/rollback-manager.yml

Purpose

Intelligent automated rollback system that detects failures and can automatically revert to a known good state.

Trigger Conditions

Automatic Triggers

• Verification Pipeline failure
• Truth Scoring Pipeline failure
• Integration Tests failure
• Push to main branch (monitoring)

Manual Triggers

• Workflow dispatch with parameters:
  • Rollback target (commit SHA/tag)
  • Rollback reason
  • Emergency mode flag
  • Rollback scope (application/database/infrastructure/full)

Rollback Process

🚨 Failure Detection

• Analyzes workflow run conclusions
• Determines failure severity:
  • High: Verification Pipeline, Integration Tests
  • Medium: Truth Scoring, other workflows
  • Low: Minor issues
• Identifies safe rollback target

🔍 Pre-Rollback Validation

• Validates rollback target commit exists
• Ensures target is ancestor of current HEAD
• Creates backup of current state
• Tests rollback target viability

🔄 Execute Rollback

• Creates rollback commit with metadata
• Emergency Mode: Force push with lease
• Normal Mode: Standard push
• Creates rollback tag for tracking

✅ Post-Rollback Verification

• Build functionality verification
• Smoke tests execution
• CLI functionality testing
• System health checks

📊 Rollback Monitoring

• System stability monitoring (15 minutes default)
• Performance monitoring
• Error rate tracking
• Automated reporting

Approval Requirements

• High Severity: Automatic execution
• Emergency Mode: Automatic execution
• Medium/Low Severity: Manual approval required

Artifacts and Reporting

• Failure detection reports (90 days)
• Pre-rollback validation (90 days)
• Rollback execution logs (90 days)
• Post-rollback monitoring (90 days)
• Stakeholder notifications (GitHub issues)
