Scaffold endurance, stress, and adversarial-input tests that reveal degradation rather than immediate crashes

Code Review

What this skill does


# Torture Test

Design long-form torture tests for high-load, malformed-input, timing, and resource-exhaustion scenarios. This complements `fuzzing-in-ci`: fuzzing finds inputs that crash; torture testing finds inputs that degrade, leak, starve, or recover incorrectly.

## Scenario Types

- **Endurance**: repeated valid workloads over long duration with memory/FD/latency ceilings.
- **Stress**: high concurrency, burst input, large payloads, queue pressure.
- **Adversarial input**: slow-loris timing, malformed grammar sweeps, partial reads, truncation, retry storms.

## Outputs

The skill emits scenario cards under `.aiwg/test/torture/` and scheduled CI recipes under `.aiwg/test/torture/ci/`. PR-gating remains short; torture suites run nightly, hourly, or on demand.

## Pass/Fail Criteria

Every scenario defines memory ceiling, file descriptor ceiling, latency tail, error recovery time, and acceptable error classes.
