Test Pattern 1: Lost Update Detection Create 100 concurrent tasks that each increment a user's score by 1. Each task reads the current score, adds 1, writes it back. Run synchronously with zero delays. Verify final score equals 100. If it's less, you have lost updates. Expected behavior: Score is exactly 100. What to expect when broken: Score is 47, 52, 68, varies each run. Execute this immediately after your score update endpoint is deployed. Run it five times in succession. If any run produces a score below 95, halt the deployment.
