+# @libs/chaos — Chaos Engineering & Resilience Testing
+
+A shared library for testing how System Craft apps handle infrastructure failures using [Toxiproxy](https://github.com/Shopify/toxiproxy).
+
+## What is Chaos Engineering?
+
+Chaos engineering is the discipline of experimenting on a system to build confidence in its ability to withstand turbulent conditions in production. Instead of waiting for outages to reveal weaknesses, we **proactively inject failures** and verify that the system degrades gracefully.
+
+This is the #1 senior-level interview topic: **fault tolerance and graceful degradation**.
+
+## How Toxiproxy Works
+
+```
+App ──→ Toxiproxy ──→ Redis / Postgres / LocalStack
+              │
+         Inject faults:
+         - Connection drop (disable proxy)
+         - Latency (100ms–10s)
+         - Bandwidth limit (KB/s)
+         - Timeout (hang connection)
+         - Data corruption (slicer)
+```
+
+Toxiproxy is a TCP proxy that sits between your app and its infrastructure. It exposes a REST API (port 8474) to inject "toxics" — configurable failure modes — into the connection.
+
+Each app's `docker-compose.chaos.yml` starts Toxiproxy alongside the real infrastructure. The chaos tests configure proxies and inject faults via the `ToxiproxyClient`.
+
+## Running Chaos Tests
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Docker and Docker Compose
+- Node.js 18+
+
+### Run for a specific app
+
+```bash
+pnpm nx run @apps/url-shortener:chaos
+pnpm nx run @apps/rate-limiter:chaos
+pnpm nx run @apps/web-crawler:chaos
+```
+
+Each command will:
+
+1. Start the chaos Docker Compose (infra + Toxiproxy)
+2. Run the chaos test suite (Jest, serial execution)
+3. Print the resilience report to stdout
+4. Tear down the Docker Compose
+
+### Run manually (for debugging)
+
+```bash
+# Start infra with Toxiproxy
+cd apps/url-shortener
+docker compose -f docker-compose.chaos.yml up -d
+
+# Run tests
+npx jest --config jest.chaos.config.ts --runInBand
+
+# Tear down
+docker compose -f docker-compose.chaos.yml down
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Library Structure
+
+```
+libs/chaos/src/
+├── toxiproxy/
+│   ├── client.ts       # ToxiproxyClient — typed HTTP client for Toxiproxy REST API
+│   └── types.ts        # Proxy, Toxic, ToxicConfig interfaces
+├── scenarios/
+│   └── scenario.ts     # ChaosScenario and ChaosScenarioResult types
+├── report/
+│   └── reporter.ts     # Markdown resilience report generator
+├── helpers/
+│   └── wait-for-service.ts  # Health check polling utilities
+└── index.ts            # Public exports
+```
+
+### Key Abstractions
+
+**ToxiproxyClient** — wraps the Toxiproxy REST API:
+
+```typescript
+const toxi = new ToxiproxyClient('http://localhost:8474');
+
+// Create a proxy
+await toxi.createProxy({ name: 'redis', listen: '0.0.0.0:6380', upstream: 'redis:6379' });
+
+// Inject a fault
+await toxi.addToxic('redis', { name: 'slow', type: 'latency', attributes: { latency: 500 } });
+
+// Simulate total outage
+await toxi.disableProxy('redis');
+
+// Restore
+await toxi.enableProxy('redis');
+
+// Clean up all toxics
+await toxi.resetProxy('redis');
+```
+
+**runScenario** — executes a chaos scenario and records timing/results:
+
+```typescript
+import { createReportCollector, runScenario } from '@libs/chaos';
+
+const report = createReportCollector('My App');
+
+it('should handle Redis outage', async () => {
+  await toxi.disableProxy('redis');
+
+  await runScenario(report, 'Redis down', async () => {
+    const res = await request(app.getHttpServer()).get('/endpoint');
+    if (res.status === 200) {
+      return { passed: true, graceful: true, notes: 'Handled gracefully' };
+    }
+    return { passed: false, graceful: false, notes: `Got ${res.status}` };
+  });
+});
+```
+
+Errors thrown inside the scenario function are caught and recorded as failures — they won't crash the Jest suite.
+
+**Report Collector** — aggregates results and generates markdown:
+
+```typescript
+const report = createReportCollector('My App');
+report.record({ scenario: 'Redis down', passed: false, graceful: false, ... });
+console.log(generateReport([report.toReport()]));
+```
+
+## Adding New Scenarios
+
+### 1. Define the scenario in your chaos test file
+
+```typescript
+it('should handle [failure description]', async () => {
+  // Inject fault
+  await toxi.addToxic('proxy-name', {
+    name: 'my-toxic',
+    type: 'latency', // or: timeout, bandwidth, limit_data, slow_close, slicer
+    stream: 'downstream', // or: upstream
+    attributes: { latency: 1000 },
+  });
+
+  // Exercise the system
+  const res = await request(app.getHttpServer()).get('/endpoint');
+
+  // Assert expected behavior
+  expect(res.status).toBe(200); // or whatever graceful degradation looks like
+});
+```
+
+### 2. Available toxic types
+
+| Type         | Attributes                       | Effect                          |
+| ------------ | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
+| `latency`    | `latency` (ms), `jitter` (ms)    | Adds delay to data              |
+| `bandwidth`  | `rate` (KB/s)                    | Limits throughput               |
+| `timeout`    | `timeout` (ms)                   | Stops data after timeout        |
+| `slow_close` | `delay` (ms)                     | Delays TCP close                |
+| `slicer`     | `average_size`, `size_variation` | Slices data into small chunks   |
+| `limit_data` | `bytes`                          | Closes connection after N bytes |
+
+### 3. Disable proxy for total outage
+
+```typescript
+await toxi.disableProxy('redis'); // simulate total failure
+await toxi.enableProxy('redis'); // restore connection
+```
+
+## Reading the Resilience Report
+
+After tests run, a markdown report is printed:
+
+```
+# Resilience Report — System Craft
+Generated: 2026-03-17T...
+
+## URL Shortener
+| Scenario | Result | Graceful? | Recovery | Duration | Notes |
+|----------|--------|-----------|----------|----------|-------|
+| Redis cache down | FAIL | NO | n/a | 150ms | cacheManager.get() threw unhandled |
+| Postgres down | PASS | YES | n/a | 50ms | Returns 500 as expected |
+
+## Summary
+- Total scenarios: 17
+- Passed: 12
+- Failed: 5
+- Resilience score: 12/17 (71%)
+```
+
+- **PASS**: System behaved as expected under failure
+- **FAIL**: System exhibited unexpected/unhandled behavior
+- **Graceful**: System degraded gracefully (e.g., fallback, fail-open) vs crashed
+- **Recovery**: Whether the system auto-recovered after restoration
