Mirrord Chaos Testing Skill

Purpose

Help users inject artificial failures and disruptions into a mirrord session's outgoing traffic, to test how their app behaves under unexpected conditions. A chaos rule pairs a selector (which traffic to match) with an effect (what to do to it). Rules are created and managed with the mirrord chaos CLI command, and each rule is attached to a single mirrord session: it never affects other sessions or the cluster.

This skill covers two modes:

1. Interactive mode: a developer starts a session with mirrord exec and manages rules with mirrord chaos.
2. CI mode: a pipeline applies rule files checked into the repo with mirrord chaos add, and runs tests under chaos.
