Severity: contextual
Scope: resource pool, service, runtime

## Repair

- Refactored by: Split Resource Pools, Add Isolation
- Detected by: shared pools across critical/noncritical workloads
- Violated by: one dependency consuming all threads/connections
- Measured by: resource saturation isolation
- Enforced by: resource policy
