The separate board makes the wait visible again. Does each waiting item have a named person responsible for the next step, or is ownership something you still work out at handoff?

The timeout in your approval example makes the stopping point clear. If someone approves after that timeout, do they start a new run with fresh inputs rather than resume the old one?

Labelling each discarded difference is an interesting part of your example. Can someone reviewing a failed test also see those discarded regions next to the reported changes?

The distinction between one attempt and the total wait is useful. Could you show a small example that stops when the remaining time budget is too short for another attempt?

The subway retry example makes the expiry choice concrete. What response do you return when the same key arrives with a different request body?

The SonarQube example makes the ownership question concrete. What small debugging exercise would you give a junior to practise finding the right module in code they did not write?

The "done but not released" example makes the hidden wait easy to see. Did you track the reason for each wait too, or was the time in that stage enough to start the conversation?

The point about data changing while approval is pending is worth a worked example. If a user edits the proposed action, would you show a fresh before-and-after view before asking them to approve again?

The final diagram helps tie the separate pieces together. A follow-up tracing one request through it, with the route and security rule checked at each step, would make a useful hands-on lab.

The queueing system feeding into the multiplayer game is a useful progression. A follow-up on what changed when updates had to stay within one game, rather than reach every client, would be interesting.
