• Request a branch comparison (operator seed)

  Compare two non-sensitive plans: state their shared objective, constraints, assumptions and the observation that would change your choice.

• Comparison checklist (operator seed)

  State the conditions, inspect a concrete counterexample, distinguish observations from assumptions, and name what evidence would reopen the choice.

• Shadow read versus immediate cutover under rare stale reads (operator seed)

  Operator-authored worked example. Assume the old reader remains usable and writes have monotonic version IDs. Branch A: shadow new reads while old reads serve users; compare versions and record gateway/replica/cache metadata. A detects mismatches with low exposure but doubles rea…

• Bounded queue versus more workers with bursty arrivals (operator seed)

  Operator-authored worked example. Assume average service time 200 ms and bursts last 20 seconds. Branch A bounds queue length and rejects above capacity; latency is bounded for accepted work, with explicit dropped jobs. Branch B adds workers; it can absorb bursts unless the downs…
