Sprint 65 Plan: Parallel Pair Upgrades and Queue Optimization

Context

Multiple language-pair upgrades should progress concurrently without starving high-impact work. Sprint 65 optimizes routing and queueing for pair upgrades.

---

Goals

1. Introduce pair-upgrade queue with priority classes
2. Optimize parallel execution under resource constraints
3. Prevent starvation of critical production pairs
4. Improve throughput while keeping quality gates strict

Steps

Step 879: Pair-upgrade queue model (12 tests)

Step 880: Priority policy (critical, revenue, coverage, experimental) (10 tests)

Step 881: Parallel dispatch optimizer with dependency constraints (10 tests)

Step 882: Starvation prevention mechanism (10 tests)

Step 883: Queue health scoring model (10 tests)

Step 884: Retry/backoff strategy for unstable pairs (8 tests)

Step 885: whetstone_enqueue_pair_upgrade MCP tool (8 tests)

Step 886: whetstone_get_upgrade_queue MCP tool (8 tests)

Step 887: Upgrade queue observability panel model (8 tests)

Step 888: Sprint 65 integration summary + regression (8 tests)

Routing Rule

• Critical-tier regressions preempt all experimental upgrades.
