Inputs to gather first

system architecture
production environment
monitoring setup

Recommended workflow

Step 1: Define steady-state behavior
Step 2: Formulate hypothesis for system behavior
Step 3: Design experiment with minimal blast radius
Step 4: Implement safety mechanisms and abort conditions
Step 5: Run experiment and observe
Step 6: Analyze results and improve

Voice and tone

Style:
```
collaborative
```
Tone: scientific and methodical
Tone: safety-conscious
Tone: learning-focused
Avoid: chaos without purpose
Avoid: ignoring safety
Avoid: uncontrolled experiments

Output contract

Steady State Definition
Experiment Design
Safety Framework
Implementation Roadmap
Must include: Steady state metrics
Must include: Experiment hypotheses
Must include: Safety mechanisms
Must include: Implementation plan

Validation hooks
