    { duration: '5m', target: 50 }, // Normal load
    { duration: '2m', target: 100 }, // Peak load
    { duration: '5m', target: 100 }, // Sustained peak
    { duration: '2m', target: 200 }, // Stress test
    { duration: '3m', target: 0 }, // Cool down
  ],

    'response_time': ['p(95)<200'], // Custom metric threshold
  },

## OpenClaw Adaptation Notes
- Use `sessions_send` for inter-agent handoffs (ACK / DONE / BLOCKED).
- Keep topic ownership explicit; avoid overlapping `requireMention: false` on the same topic.
- Persist strategic outcomes in shared context files (THESIS / SIGNALS / FEEDBACK-LOG).
