+# Memory Update — load-test-agent — 2026-02-23
+
+## Key findings
+- Load test harness verified in dry-run mode (v0.1.0).
+
+## Patterns / reusable knowledge
+- Use `--dry-run` to verify script integrity without network access.
+
+## Warnings / gotchas
+- Always set `RELAY_URL` even for dry-run.

+- Duration: 10s
+- Rate: 20 events/sec
+- Metadata mix: 0.2
+- Max connections: 250
+- Max in-flight publishes: 300
+- Seed: (random)

+## Summary
+- Attempted: 200
+- Succeeded: 200
+- Failed: 0
+- Throughput: 19.998 events/sec
+- Success rate: 100.00%
+
+## Latency

+# Context — load-test-agent
+
+## Goal
+Execute a scheduled load test (dry-run) to verify harness stability and ensure no regressions in load testing capabilities.
+
+## Scope
+- Run `scripts/agent/load-test.mjs` in dry-run mode.
+- Generate load test reports.
+- Verify safe execution (no public relay connections).
+
+## Constraints
+- Must not connect to public relays.
+- Must run in dry-run mode unless on dedicated infra.
+- Must update memory and artifacts.
+- Executed prompt: src/prompts/daily/load-test-agent.md

+# Decisions — load-test-agent
+
+## Decision
+Run in dry-run mode only.
+
+## Rationale
+No dedicated test infrastructure is confirmed for this run, so we default to dry-run to ensure safety and prevent accidental public relay usage.
