 ### Dislikes
 
 - Template-generated scaffolding in tests; keep test hosts and verification surfaces minimal, hand-written, and purpose-built.
+- CI regressions that inflate `build-and-test` far beyond the historical baseline; browser large-file coverage must stay meaningful without turning the default GitHub Actions path into a 30+ minute run.
 - Unnecessary product-code fallbacks; prefer one clear production path unless backward compatibility is an explicit requirement for the task.

 - Start Docker Desktop (or your Docker daemon) before running the full test suite.
 - AWS and Orleans integration tests intentionally pin LocalStack to `localstack/localstack:4.14.0`; do not switch them back to `latest`, because the end-of-March 2026 `latest` image became auth-gated and breaks CI without a token.
+- GitHub Actions `build-and-test` and `Release` intentionally exclude `Category=BrowserStress`; run that browser-hosted `1 GiB` stress lane locally with `dotnet test ... --filter "Category=BrowserStress"` when you specifically need it.
 - Never commit secrets (cloud keys, OAuth tokens, connection strings). Use environment variables or user secrets.

 ## Quality Rules
 
 - Each test must assert concrete, observable behaviour (state/output/errors/side-effects).
