- **High-risk mitigations**: 100% complete or approved waivers

### Coverage Targets

- **Critical paths (Sync)**: ≥90%
- **Data Integrity**: 100%

### Non-Negotiable Requirements

- [ ] All P0 (Sync/Delete) tests pass
- [ ] No high-risk (≥6) items unmitigated

## Mitigation Plans

### R-001: Data loss during offline-to-online sync (Score: 6)

**Mitigation Strategy:** Implement `SyncManager` class with persistent `ActionQueue` in Dexie. Use exponential backoff for retries.
**Owner:** Dev
**Timeline:** Story 3.3
**Status:** Complete
**Verification:** `integration/offline-sync.test.ts` validates queue persistence and processing.

### R-002: Deletion conflict (Score: 6)

**Mitigation Strategy:** Use soft deletes where possible or last-write-wins with version vector (simplified to local-first authority for MVP).
**Owner:** Dev
**Timeline:** Story 3.2
**Status:** Complete
**Verification:** `components/features/journal/DeleteConfirmDialog.test.tsx` and manual verification.

## Assumptions and Dependencies

### Assumptions

1. IndexedDB is reliable on supported browsers.
2. User does not clear browser data while offline with pending actions.

### Dependencies

1. `dexie` library stability.
2. `next-pwa` plugin for Service Worker generation.
