+# Track Specification: GUI Decoupling & Controller Architecture
+
+## Overview
+`gui_2.py` is a monolithic God Object. This track extracts its business logic and state machine into `app_controller.py`, leaving the GUI as a pure immediate-mode view adhering to Data-Oriented Design.
+
+## Functional Requirements
+- Create `app_controller.py`.
+- Migrate state variables and lifecycle methods from `gui_2.py` to the controller.
+- Ensure `gui_2.py` only reads state and dispatches events.

+# Track Specification: Test Suite Performance & Flakiness

+## Overview
+The test suite is slow and flaky due to `time.sleep()`. This track replaces sleeps with deterministic polling (`threading.Event()`), aiming for a <10s core TDD loop.
+
+## Functional Requirements
+- Audit and remove `time.sleep()` in tests.
+- Implement deterministic event polling.
+- Mark slow integration tests with `@pytest.mark.slow`.
