+# Phase 3: Crash Recovery Test Procedures
+
+**Document:** Detailed procedures for 4 crash recovery scenarios  
+**Version:** 2026-08-03  
+**Status:** 🚀 READY TO EXECUTE
+
+---
+
+## 🧪 **Scenario 1: Outbox Message Loss Recovery**
+
+### Procedure
+```
+1. Identify Current State
+   □ Connect to PostgreSQL (via SSH tunnel)
+   □ Query: SELECT id, run_id FROM outbox.outbox LIMIT 1
+   □ Note the message ID
+
+2. Simulate Loss
+   □ DELETE FROM outbox.outbox WHERE id = <noted-id>
+   □ Verify deletion: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM outbox.outbox
+
+3. Trigger Recovery
+   □ Watch ShadowRunCompletedConsumer logs in Host
+   □ Monitor log pattern: "outbox message.*not found"
+   □ Should auto-recover or retry
+
+4. Verify Results
+   □ Check if message re-processed
+   □ No errors in Host logs
+   □ Outbox state consistent
+```
+
+### Evidence Capture
+```
+- Before: SELECT id, run_id FROM outbox.outbox WHERE id = X
+- After: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM outbox.outbox
+- Logs: grep "outbox" host.log | tail -50
+```
+
+### Pass Criteria
+```
+✅ PASS: Message loss detected, recovery completed, no corruption
+❌ FAIL: Unrecovered state divergence or data corruption
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🧪 **Scenario 2: PostgreSQL Connection Drop**
+
+### Procedure
+```
+1. Baseline State
+   □ Verify Host can execute queries
+   □ Check connection pool status
+   □ Note current connection count
+
+2. Simulate Connection Drop
+   □ Terminate SSH tunnel (close terminal or Ctrl+C)
+   □ Database becomes unreachable
+   □ Connection pool timeout triggered
+
+3. Monitor Recovery
+   □ Watch Host logs for connection error
+   □ Wait for reconnection attempt
+   □ SSH tunnel comes back online
+   □ Connection re-established
+
+4. Verify Resumption
+   □ Host queries successful again
+   □ No hanging requests
+   □ Transaction consistency maintained
+```
+
+### Evidence Capture
+```
+- Connection logs: grep -i "connection\|timeout\|reconnect" host.log
+- Query execution: Monitor query response times
+- Timeline: Record start→drop→recovery time
+```
+
+### Pass Criteria
+```
+✅ PASS: Connection recovered, queries resumed, no data loss
+❌ FAIL: Hanging requests, connection pool exhausted, duplicate processing
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🧪 **Scenario 3: Hangfire Distributed Lock Timeout**
+
+### Procedure
+```
+1. Monitor Hangfire State
+   □ Check Hangfire dashboard (if available) or logs
+   □ Note active recurring jobs
+   □ Verify worker threads
+
+2. Trigger Lock Contention
+   □ Multiple Hangfire workers attempt same lock
+   □ Simulate timeout (>30s acquisition attempt)
+   □ DEBT-015 fallback mechanism engages
+
+3. Monitor Behavior
+   □ Watch Host logs for lock timeout trace
+   □ Verify: "lock timeout.*fallback" pattern
+   □ Check that worker continues (no deadlock)
+   □ Other workers unaffected
+
+4. Verify Resolution
+   □ Next job attempt succeeds
+   □ No stuck locks in DB
+   □ Logs show recovery
+```
+
+### Evidence Capture
+```
+- Lock logs: grep -i "lock\|timeout\|distributed" host.log
+- Job status: SELECT * FROM hangfire.job WHERE StateName IN ('Processing', 'Succeeded')
+- Duration: Time from timeout to recovery
+```
+
+### Pass Criteria
+```
+✅ PASS: Lock timeout detected, DEBT-015 fallback activated, job continues
+❌ FAIL: Deadlock, stuck lock, worker hang
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🧪 **Scenario 4: Inbox Message Processing Failure**
+
+### Procedure
+```
+1. Identify Consumer
+   □ ApprovalQueueConsumer or AuditLogConsumer
+   □ Monitor active processing
+
+2. Inject Malformed Message
+   □ Insert test message with invalid JSON:
+     INSERT INTO inbox.inbox (msg_type, payload, created_at, processed_at)
+     VALUES ('approval', '{"invalid": json}', NOW(), NULL)
+   □ Trigger consumer to process
+
+3. Monitor Error Handling
+   □ Watch Host logs for deserialization error
+   □ Verify error caught (no unhandled exception crash)
+   □ Check if moved to DLQ
+
+4. Verify Impact
+   □ Consumer continues processing next message
+   □ No cascade failure
+   □ Error logged with context
+```
+
+### Evidence Capture
+```
+- Error logs: grep -i "deserialization\|inbox\|error" host.log
+- DLQ check: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM inbox.dead_letter_queue
+- Message state: SELECT * FROM inbox.inbox WHERE processed_at IS NULL
+```
+
+### Pass Criteria
+```
+✅ PASS: Error caught, message isolated, consumer continues
+❌ FAIL: Cascade failure, consumer crash, message loss
+```
+
+---
+
+## ⚙️ **Execution Sequence (Parallel)**
+
+### Option 1: Manual Sequential
+```
+Time | Scenario 1 | Scenario 2 | Scenario 3 | Scenario 4

+2. Record query results
+3. Document timeline
+4. Note any issues
+5. Mark PASS/FAIL
+```
+
+Final deliverable:
