## Performance measurements and limitations

No valid feature timing could be recorded because no application document rendered. Cold/warm, polling, rendering, memory, and recovery measurements remain blocked.

## Independent reproductions

The common routing failure was independently reproduced by qa-v2-preflight-01; the corresponding tracked packet contains its own browser evidence.

## Findings

### RV2-P1-001 — P1: locale rewrite causes an infinite browser redirect

Preconditions: candidate f57a660088d6777c86aca22977354fa8b810e2be, degraded, mobile-375, 100% zoom, mouse, fresh named Chromium session qa-v2-performance-04.

1. Launch a fresh Chromium context with the Chromium argument --no-sandbox.
2. Set the assigned viewport and open http://127.0.0.1:46777 or its authentication entry.
3. Observe repeated document requests to the same route.
4. Wait until Chromium displays ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS or chrome-error://chromewebdata/.
5. Close the context, retry in a fresh context, and observe the same result.

Expected: the application renders the assigned entry, permitting authentication and the packet flow. Actual: the redirect loop prevents the application from rendering. Reproducibility: reproduced on retry and independently by the preflight agents. Console output was empty; network and visual evidence are linked below.

## Mutations and persistence

No credentials were submitted and no product mutation occurred. Reload and fresh-session retries reproduced the routing failure, so application persistence was not reachable.

## Blockers and gaps

Every non-evidence case listed as blocked remains untested beyond the routing entry. No blocked cell is treated as passed.

## Cleanup

The named browser session was closed by the browser agent. Artifacts remain under the untracked packet directory; no secret values were captured.
