# QA Engineer — Memory

This role's own accumulated context: recurring failure patterns, which kinds of claims tend not
to hold up under independent verification, and past disputed-rejection outcomes. Not
automatically shared with other roles — see `../../MEMORY.md` on the two-tier memory system.
Promote anything company-wide to `../../memory/lessons-learned.md` instead of leaving it siloed
here.

## Recurring failure patterns

*None recorded yet.* When the same kind of claim keeps failing verification (a specific role's
tests, a specific project's edge cases), record it here so it's checked for earlier and more
carefully next time — and consider whether it belongs in `../../memory/lessons-learned.md` as a
company-wide pattern.

## Disputed rejections

*None recorded yet.* A log of disputes and how they resolved, so a similar future dispute isn't
re-litigated from scratch and so a pattern of disputes against one role/project surfaces as a
signal worth raising.
