Six four‑minute reports cover concrete failures and fixes: a root CA roll reveals that root cert rotation is a distribution problem — services reload trust at different times so manual restarts and bundle hygiene become emergency fixes; zero trust adds measurable latency and 3–7 extra hops so caching and async coupling mitigate token refresh and auth chattiness; traffic analogies map to metered ramps and circuit breakers for congestion control; OWASP LLM risks list real agentic failures; Yukon.dev unit‑typing with Pydantic introduces a unit library and MTP server; OpenTelemetry hoarding creates telemetry debt that cleanup turns hundreds of spans into a handful.
