# Tasks: Performance Validation & Multi-Tenant Testing
**Input**: Design documents from `/specs/011-performance-validation-multi/`
**Prerequisites**: plan.md, spec.md, research.md, data-model.md, contracts/, quickstart.md
**Note**: This is a validation/testing feature - tests ARE the implementation. All tasks involve writing tests to validate constitutional compliance.
**Organization**: Tasks grouped by user story (US1-US5) for independent validation of each acceptance scenario.
## Format: `[ID] [P?] [Story] Description`
- **[P]**: Can run in parallel (different files, no dependencies)
- **[Story]**: Which user story this task validates (e.g., US1, US2, US3)
- Include exact file paths in descriptions
## Path Conventions
- Tests: `tests/` at repository root
- Models: `src/models/` for Pydantic validation models
- Scripts: `scripts/` for automation
- Docs: `docs/performance/` and `docs/operations/` for reports

## Parallel Example: User Story 1 (Performance Baseline)
```bash
# Launch all benchmark creation tasks together:
Task T013: "Create indexing performance benchmark in tests/benchmarks/test_indexing_perf.py"
Task T014: "Create search performance benchmark in tests/benchmarks/test_search_perf.py"
Task T015: "Create project switching benchmark in tests/benchmarks/test_workflow_perf.py"
Task T016: "Create entity query benchmark in tests/benchmarks/test_workflow_perf.py"
# Then run sequentially:
Task T017: "Create benchmark runner script" (uses output from T013-T016)
Task T018: "Collect pre-split baseline" (needs runner)
Task T019: "Run all benchmarks" (needs runner and baseline)
Task T020: "Execute baseline comparison" (needs both baselines)
```

6. Decision point: Deploy to production OR continue with P2 stories
### Incremental Delivery
1. Setup + Foundational β Models ready, test infrastructure complete
2. Add US1 (Performance) β Validate constitutional targets met β **Go/No-Go for production**
3. Add US2 (Integration) β Validate cross-server workflows β **Confidence for production deployment**
4. Add US3 (Load Testing) β Understand capacity limits β Capacity planning data

- **TDD approach**: Models and fixtures first, then tests
- **Commit strategy**: Micro-commit after each task or logical test suite
- **Checkpoint validation**: Stop after each user story to validate independently
- **Documentation**: Operational runbooks for production deployment readiness
