 - **Result**: 2 tracks committed (4f11d1e, c1a86e2). Bleed cleanup is active; agent focus depends on it.
 
 - **More Tracks**: Initialized 'tech_debt_and_test_cleanup_20260302' and 'conductor_workflow_improvements_20260302' to harden TDD discipline, resolve test tech debt (false-positives, dupes), and mandate AST-based codebase auditing.
-- **Final Track**: Initialized 'architecture_boundary_hardening_20260302' to fix the GUI HITL bypass allowing direct AST mutations, patch token bloat in mma_exec.py, and implement cascading blockers in dag_engine.py.
+- **Final Track**: Initialized 'architecture_boundary_hardening_20260302' to fix the GUI HITL bypass allowing direct AST mutations, patch token bloat in `mma_exec.py`, and implement cascading blockers in `dag_engine.py`.
+- **Testing Consolidation**: Initialized 'testing_consolidation_20260302' track to standardize simulation testing workflows around the pytest `live_gui` fixture and eliminate redundant `subprocess.Popen` wrappers.
+- **Dependency Order**: Added an explicit 'Track Dependency Order' execution guide to `TASKS.md` to ensure safe progression through the accumulated tech debt.
