WHY THIS GUIDE EXISTS

Test the workflow,
not the marketing claim.

Batch systems should respond to provider limits without dropping job provenance or creating retry storms, so this guide separates admission control, worker concurrency, backoff, and accepted-output accounting across slow image requests.
