## 🎯 Risk Management & Mitigation
### Current Risk Status: 🟢 LOW RISK
**Mitigation Strategies in Place**:
- **Backward Compatibility**: All changes are additive
- **Incremental Testing**: Each phase can be tested independently
- **Rollback Strategy**: Git branching allows easy reversion
- **Size Controls**: File size monitoring to maintain <50KB targets
- **Documentation**: Complete specifications ready for implementation
### Risk Indicators to Monitor:
- 🟡 **File Size Creep**: Monitor all new files stay <50KB
- 🟡 **Dev Agent Scope Creep**: Ensure dev agent stays lean (<100 lines)
- 🟡 **Dependency Explosion**: Watch dependency counts per agent
- 🟡 **Performance Impact**: Monitor context processing times
