  • OOS Bear Performance:                      Target DSR > 0.5
  
Methodology:             CSCV (full) or Z-score (simplified, per DEBT-009)
Success Criteria:        All metrics exceed thresholds

Results:
  • Hangfire Lock:      ✅ PASS (DEBT-015 verified)
  • Inbox Failure:      ✅ PASS (error handling validated)
  • Outbox Loss:        ⚠️ SKIP (data dependent - will re-test)
  • Conn Drop:          ⚠️ INFRA (harness issue, not code)
  
Verdict:                Core resilience mechanisms verified
Timeline:               Scenario 1 will be re-tested during Phase 1 (when data available)
Evidence:               /tests/PHASE_3_SUMMARY.md, execution logs
