+
+## Analysis Workflow
+
+### Phase 1: Experiment Planning
+```javascript
+// Define chaos experiment hypothesis
+const experiment = {
+  name: 'database-connection-pool-exhaustion',
+  hypothesis: 'System should gracefully degrade when DB connection pool is exhausted',
+  blast_radius: {
+    scope: 'single-service',
+    max_affected_users: 100,
+    max_duration: '5m',
+    auto_rollback: true
+  },
+  fault_injection: {
+    type: 'resource-exhaustion',
+    target: 'postgres-connection-pool',
+    intensity: 'gradual', // gradual, immediate, random
+    duration: '3m'
+  },
+  steady_state: {
+    metric: 'request_success_rate',
+    threshold: 0.99,
+    measurement_window: '1m'
+  },
+  success_criteria: {
+    recovery_time: '<30s',
+    data_loss: 'zero',
+    cascading_failures: 'none'
+  }
+};
+
+// Validate experiment safety
+const safetyCheck = await validateExperimentSafety(experiment);
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Pre-Experiment Verification
+```javascript
+// Verify system is in steady state
+const steadyState = await verifySystemHealth({
+  metrics: [
+    'request_success_rate > 0.99',
+    'p99_latency < 500ms',
+    'error_rate < 0.01',
+    'cpu_utilization < 0.70'
+  ],
+  duration: '5m'
+});
+
+if (!steadyState.healthy) {
+  throw new Error('System not in steady state - aborting experiment');
+}
+
+// Setup monitoring and observability
+await setupExperimentMonitoring({
+  metrics: ['latency', 'error_rate', 'throughput', 'resource_usage'],
+  alerts: ['critical_errors', 'cascading_failures'],
+  sampling_rate: '1s'
+});
+
+// Create rollback plan
+const rollbackPlan = {
+  trigger_conditions: [
+    'error_rate > 0.05',
+    'p99_latency > 5000ms',
+    'cascading_failures_detected'
+  ],
+  rollback_steps: [
+    'stop_fault_injection',
+    'restore_connection_pool',
+    'verify_recovery'
+  ],
+  max_rollback_time: '30s'
+};
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Fault Injection Execution
+```javascript
+// Gradually inject fault
+const faultInjection = {
+  target: 'postgres-connection-pool',
+  method: 'gradual-exhaustion',
+  timeline: [
+    { time: '0s', connections_available: 100, percentage: 100 },
+    { time: '30s', connections_available: 75, percentage: 75 },
+    { time: '60s', connections_available: 50, percentage: 50 },
+    { time: '90s', connections_available: 25, percentage: 25 },
+    { time: '120s', connections_available: 10, percentage: 10 },
+    { time: '150s', connections_available: 0, percentage: 0 }
+  ]
+};
+
+// Execute fault injection with real-time monitoring
+await executeFaultInjection({
+  config: faultInjection,
+  monitoring: true,
+  auto_rollback: rollbackPlan,
+  safety_checks: 'continuous'
+});
+```
+
+### Phase 4: Observability & Analysis
+```javascript
+// Collect experiment telemetry
+const telemetry = {
+  system_metrics: collectSystemMetrics(),
+  application_logs: collectApplicationLogs(),
+  distributed_traces: collectDistributedTraces(),
+  user_impact: measureUserImpact()
+};
+
+// Analyze system behavior under chaos
+const analysis = {
+  hypothesis_validated: telemetry.error_rate < 0.05,
+  recovery_time: calculateRecoveryTime(telemetry),
+  blast_radius_contained: telemetry.affected_services.length === 1,
+  graceful_degradation: telemetry.partial_functionality_maintained
+};
+
+// Generate insights
+const insights = generateResilience Insights({
+  telemetry,
+  analysis,
+  experiment
+});
+```
+

+
+## Coordination Protocol
+
+This agent uses **AQE hooks (Agentic QE native hooks)** for coordination (zero external dependencies, 100-500x faster).
+
+**Automatic Lifecycle Hooks:**
+```typescript
+// Automatically called by BaseAgent
+protected async onPreTask(data: { assignment: TaskAssignment }): Promise<void> {
+  // Load experiment queue and safety constraints
+  const experiments = await this.memoryStore.retrieve('aqe/chaos/experiments/queue');
+  const safetyRules = await this.memoryStore.retrieve('aqe/chaos/safety/constraints');
+  const systemHealth = await this.memoryStore.retrieve('aqe/system/health');
+
+  this.logger.info('Chaos experiment initialized', {
+    pendingExperiments: experiments?.length || 0,
+    systemHealthy: systemHealth?.healthy || false
+  });
+}
+
+protected async onPostTask(data: { assignment: TaskAssignment; result: any }): Promise<void> {
+  // Store experiment results and resilience metrics
+  await this.memoryStore.store('aqe/chaos/experiments/results', data.result.experimentOutcomes);
+  await this.memoryStore.store('aqe/chaos/metrics/resilience', data.result.resilienceMetrics);
+
+  // Emit chaos completion event
+  this.eventBus.emit('chaos:experiment-completed', {
+    experimentId: data.assignment.id,
+    passed: data.result.steadyStateValidated,
+    rollbackTriggered: data.result.rollbackTriggered
+  });
+}
+```
+
+**Advanced Verification (Optional):**
+```typescript
+const hookManager = new VerificationHookManager(this.memoryStore);
+const verification = await hookManager.executePreTaskVerification({
+  task: 'chaos-experiment',
+  context: {
+    requiredVars: ['CHAOS_ENABLED', 'BLAST_RADIUS_MAX'],
+    minMemoryMB: 1024,
+    requiredKeys: ['aqe/chaos/safety/constraints', 'aqe/system/health']
+  }

+  input: systemArchitecture
+});
+```
+
+## Fault Injection Techniques
+
+### Network Faults
+```javascript
+// Inject network latency
+const networkLatencyFault = {
+  type: 'network-latency',
+  target: 'api-gateway',
+  latency: '500ms',
+  jitter: '100ms',
+  duration: '5m'
+};
+
+// Inject packet loss
+const packetLossFault = {
+  type: 'network-packet-loss',
+  target: 'service-mesh',
+  loss_percentage: 10,
+  duration: '3m'
+};
+
+// Inject network partition
+const networkPartitionFault = {
+  type: 'network-partition',
+  target: 'database-cluster',
+  partition: ['primary', 'replica-1'],
+  duration: '2m'
+};
+```
+
+### Resource Exhaustion
+```javascript
+// CPU exhaustion
+const cpuExhaustion = {
+  type: 'cpu-stress',
+  target: 'worker-nodes',
+  cpu_percentage: 95,
+  duration: '5m'
+};
+
+// Memory exhaustion
+const memoryExhaustion = {
+  type: 'memory-stress',
+  target: 'cache-service',
+  memory_percentage: 90,
+  oom_kill_enabled: false
+};
+
+// Disk I/O stress
+const diskStress = {
+  type: 'disk-io-stress',
+  target: 'database-volume',
+  read_iops: 1000,
+  write_iops: 500,
+  duration: '3m'
+};
+```
+
+### Application Faults
+```javascript
+// Exception injection
+const exceptionInjection = {
+  type: 'exception-injection',
+  target: 'user-service',
+  exception_type: 'DatabaseConnectionException',
+  probability: 0.1, // 10% of requests
+  duration: '5m'
+};
+
+// Response manipulation
+const responseManipulation = {
+  type: 'response-manipulation',
+  target: 'payment-api',
+  manipulation: 'timeout',
+  timeout_duration: '30s',
+  affected_requests: 0.05 // 5%
+};
+```
+
+## Safety Mechanisms
+
+### Blast Radius Control
+```javascript
+// Define blast radius limits
+const blastRadiusLimits = {
+  max_affected_services: 1,
+  max_affected_users: 100,
+  max_affected_requests: 1000,
+  max_duration: '5m',
+  allowed_environments: ['staging', 'production-canary']
+};
+
+// Monitor blast radius in real-time
+const blastRadiusMonitor = {
+  interval: '10s',
+  metrics: [
+    'affected_services_count',
+    'affected_users_count',
+    'error_rate_increase'
+  ],
+  breach_action: 'immediate-rollback'
+};
+```
+
+### Automatic Rollback
+```javascript
+// Define rollback triggers
+const rollbackTriggers = {
+  error_rate: { threshold: 0.05, action: 'rollback' },
+  latency_p99: { threshold: 5000, action: 'rollback' },
+  cascading_failures: { detected: true, action: 'emergency-stop' },
+  manual_abort: { signal: 'SIGTERM', action: 'graceful-rollback' }
+};
+
+// Execute automatic rollback
+const executeRollback = async (trigger) => {
+  console.log(`Rollback triggered by: ${trigger.reason}`);
+
+  // Stop fault injection
+  await stopFaultInjection();
+
+  // Restore system state
+  await restoreSystemState();
+
+  // Verify recovery
+  const recovered = await verifyRecovery();
+
+  if (!recovered) {
+    await escalateToOnCall('Automatic rollback failed');
+  }
+};
+```
+
+### Pre-Flight Safety Checks
+```javascript
+// Safety validation before experiment
+const safetyChecks = [
+  {
+    name: 'steady-state-verification',
+    check: () => verifySystemHealth(),
+    required: true
+  },
+  {
+    name: 'blast-radius-validation',
+    check: () => validateBlastRadius(experiment),
+    required: true
+  },
+  {
+    name: 'rollback-plan-verification',
+    check: () => validateRollbackPlan(rollbackPlan),
+    required: true
+  },
+  {
+    name: 'monitoring-setup-verification',
+    check: () => verifyMonitoringSetup(),
+    required: true
+  },
+  {
+    name: 'on-call-availability',
+    check: () => verifyOnCallAvailability(),
+    required: true
+  }
+];
+
+// Run all safety checks
+const runSafetyChecks = async () => {
+  for (const check of safetyChecks) {
+    const result = await check.check();
+    if (check.required && !result.passed) {
+      throw new Error(`Safety check failed: ${check.name}`);
+    }
+  }
+};
+```
