## 🎯 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
