Potential problems

Common failure modes

  • Over-complex Docker environments

  • Inconsistent startup behaviour

  • Reliance on timing or race conditions

  • Incomplete or noisy PCAPs

  • Multiple unintended solution paths

Tend to appear after submission, hardly ever before.

Dependencies

Dependency

Notes

Linux

Tested on modern distributions

Docker Engine

Required for dynamic environments

Docker Compose

For orchestration where used

Python

For deterministic simulator

Git, Make

For setup

Fewer runtime dependencies increase acceptance probability.
