No backend or external AI is called. Your answer is scored locally against a structured QA checklist.

Cover logs, metrics, traces, alerts, SLOs, privacy redaction, dependency failures, frontend telemetry, audit events, runbooks, and cost/cardinality controls.

Tip: a stronger answer usually mixes happy path, negative cases, state changes, data, backend, UX, accessibility, and risk.
