-
-Example 2: Kafka topic testing with consumer groups
-```
-Input: Test Kafka cluster (3 brokers) with topic "payment-events" (6 partitions, replication-factor 3)
-
-Output: Kafka Topic Test Report
-
-Cluster: kafka-prod (3 brokers: broker-0, broker-1, broker-2)
-Topic: payment-events
-Partitions: 6 | Replication Factor: 3 | Min ISR: 2
-
-Producer Tests:
-1. Produce keyed message (key: payment-id)
-   - Result: PASSED (partition assigned by key hash, acks=all confirmed)
-   - Partition: 3 (consistent for key "PAY-2026-001")
-   - Offset: 14502
-
-2. Produce 10,000 messages (throughput, batch.size=16384)
-   - Result: PASSED (10,000 msgs in 3.4s, ~2,941 msgs/sec)
-   - Partition distribution: P0=1672, P1=1658, P2=1701, P3=1643, P4=1680, P5=1646
-   - Distribution variance: 2.1% (excellent balance)
-
-3. Produce with schema validation (Avro, Schema Registry)
-   - Valid schema: PASSED (serialized, schema ID 47 cached)
-   - Invalid schema (missing required field): PASSED (SerializationException thrown, not produced)
-
-Consumer Group Tests:
-4. Single consumer, 6 partitions
-   - Result: PASSED (all 6 partitions assigned to consumer-0)
-   - Consumed 10,000 messages, zero duplicates
-
-5. Consumer group rebalance (3 consumers join)
-   - Result: PASSED (rebalance completed in 1.2s)
-   - Assignment: consumer-0=[P0,P1], consumer-1=[P2,P3], consumer-2=[P4,P5]
-
-6. Consumer failure + rebalance (consumer-1 killed)
-   - Result: PASSED (rebalance in 3.1s, P2,P3 reassigned to consumer-0 and consumer-2)
-   - No message loss detected (committed offsets preserved)
-
-7. Offset commit strategies
-   - Auto-commit (enable.auto.commit=true, 5s interval): PASSED
-   - Manual sync commit: PASSED (exact-once per batch)
-   - Manual async commit: PASSED (eventual consistency, 2 duplicates on rebalance)
-
-Ordering Tests:
-8. Per-partition ordering (same key)
-   - Result: PASSED (messages for key "PAY-2026-001" consumed in produce order)
-
-9. Cross-partition ordering (different keys)
-   - Result: EXPECTED (no global ordering guarantee, documented)
-
-DLQ / Error Handling:
-10. Deserialization error (corrupt Avro payload)
-    - Result: PASSED (DeserializationException caught, message sent to "payment-events-dlq")
-    - DLQ headers: original-topic, original-partition, original-offset, error-message
-
-11. Processing failure with retry
-    - Result: PASSED (3 retries with 1s backoff, then routed to DLQ)
-    - Retry topic chain: payment-events -> payment-events-retry-1 -> payment-events-retry-2 -> payment-events-dlq
-
-Compaction Test:
-12. Topic compaction (cleanup.policy=compact)
-    - Result: N/A (topic configured with delete policy, skipped)
-
-Summary:
-- Partitions tested: 6/6
-- Producer tests: 3 passed
-- Consumer tests: 4 passed (including rebalance scenarios)
-- Ordering: Per-partition guaranteed, cross-partition N/A
-- DLQ: Retry chain validated (3 retries + DLQ)
-- Throughput: 2,941 msgs/sec (producer), 3,200 msgs/sec (consumer)
-- Recommendation: Set min.insync.replicas=2 with acks=all for payment-critical topics (already configured)
-
-Learning: Stored pattern "kafka-payment-events-consumer-groups" with 0.93 confidence

+1. Produce keyed message (key: payment-id)
+   - Result: PASSED (partition assigned by key hash, acks=all confirmed)
+   - Partition: 3 (consistent for key "PAY-2026-001")
+   - Offset: 14502
+
+2. Produce 10,000 messages (throughput, batch.size=16384)
+   - Result: PASSED (10,000 msgs in 3.4s, ~2,941 msgs/sec)
+   - Partition distribution: P0=1672, P1=1658, P2=1701, P3=1643, P4=1680, P5=1646
+   - Distribution variance: 2.1% (excellent balance)
+
+3. Produce with schema validation (Avro, Schema Registry)
+   - Valid schema: PASSED (serialized, schema ID 47 cached)
+   - Invalid schema (missing required field): PASSED (SerializationException thrown, not produced)
+
+Consumer Group Tests:
+4. Single consumer, 6 partitions
+   - Result: PASSED (all 6 partitions assigned to consumer-0)
+   - Consumed 10,000 messages, zero duplicates
+
+5. Consumer group rebalance (3 consumers join)
+   - Result: PASSED (rebalance completed in 1.2s)
+   - Assignment: consumer-0=[P0,P1], consumer-1=[P2,P3], consumer-2=[P4,P5]
+
+6. Consumer failure + rebalance (consumer-1 killed)
+   - Result: PASSED (rebalance in 3.1s, P2,P3 reassigned to consumer-0 and consumer-2)
+   - No message loss detected (committed offsets preserved)
+
+7. Offset commit strategies
+   - Auto-commit (enable.auto.commit=true, 5s interval): PASSED
+   - Manual sync commit: PASSED (exact-once per batch)
+   - Manual async commit: PASSED (eventual consistency, 2 duplicates on rebalance)
+
+Ordering Tests:
+8. Per-partition ordering (same key)
+   - Result: PASSED (messages for key "PAY-2026-001" consumed in produce order)
+
+9. Cross-partition ordering (different keys)
+   - Result: EXPECTED (no global ordering guarantee, documented)
+
+DLQ / Error Handling:
+10. Deserialization error (corrupt Avro payload)
+    - Result: PASSED (DeserializationException caught, message sent to "payment-events-dlq")
+    - DLQ headers: original-topic, original-partition, original-offset, error-message
+
+11. Processing failure with retry
+    - Result: PASSED (3 retries with 1s backoff, then routed to DLQ)
+    - Retry topic chain: payment-events -> payment-events-retry-1 -> payment-events-retry-2 -> payment-events-dlq
+
+Compaction Test:
+12. Topic compaction (cleanup.policy=compact)
+    - Result: N/A (topic configured with delete policy, skipped)
+
+Summary:
+- Partitions tested: 6/6
+- Producer tests: 3 passed
+- Consumer tests: 4 passed (including rebalance scenarios)
+- Ordering: Per-partition guaranteed, cross-partition N/A
+- DLQ: Retry chain validated (3 retries + DLQ)
+- Throughput: 2,941 msgs/sec (producer), 3,200 msgs/sec (consumer)
+- Recommendation: Set min.insync.replicas=2 with acks=all for payment-critical topics (already configured)
+
+Learning: Stored pattern "kafka-payment-events-consumer-groups" with 0.93 confidence

+**V3 Architecture**: This agent operates within the enterprise-integration bounded context (ADR-063).
+
+**Message Flow Testing Workflow**:
+```
+Broker Discovery → Queue/Topic Enumeration → Schema Validation Setup
+        ↓                                              ↓
+  Producer Tests → Message Transformation → Consumer Tests
+        ↓                    ↓                        ↓
+  DLQ Routing ← ─ ─ Failure Injection ─ ─ → Ordering Validation
+        ↓                                              ↓
