## 🔍 Risk Mitigation

### High-Risk Areas:
1. **Test Data Conflicts** - Multiple agents creating overlapping test data
   - *Mitigation*: Unique prefixes per agent, isolated test data factories

2. **Staging Environment Conflicts** - Concurrent browser sessions interfering  
   - *Mitigation*: Time-based coordination, session isolation techniques

3. **Test Maintenance Burden** - 60+ test files becoming unmaintainable
   - *Mitigation*: Shared utilities, standardized patterns, comprehensive documentation

4. **Performance Degradation** - Test suite becoming too slow to execute regularly
   - *Mitigation*: Parallel execution optimization, test prioritization, performance monitoring

### Contingency Plans:
- **If agent conflicts emerge**: Implement time-based scheduling with 30-minute agent slots
- **If shared utilities prove insufficient**: Add Docker container isolation per agent
- **If coordination becomes too complex**: Reduce to 3 agents with larger functional areas  
- **If maintenance burden grows**: Focus on critical path pages only (80/20 rule)

## 📚 Documentation & Maintenance

### Documentation Deliverables:
- **Agent Implementation Guides** - Detailed instructions for each agent
- **Shared Utilities Reference** - Common patterns and helper functions
- **Test Maintenance Guide** - Procedures for updating tests when pages change
- **Troubleshooting Manual** - Common issues and resolution procedures

### Long-term Maintenance:
- **Weekly Test Health Checks** - Automated monitoring of test reliability
- **Monthly Coverage Reviews** - Ensuring tests remain relevant as pages evolve  
- **Quarterly Performance Optimization** - Test suite speed and reliability improvements
- **Agent Knowledge Transfer** - Documentation for future agent implementations

**Next Action**: Execute Phase 1 foundation setup with `wordpress-tester` agent, then proceed with parallel Phase 2 execution across all 5 specialized agents.
