Description of Issue
The FMEA table (Section 6) lacks systematic coverage of hazards related to the interaction between components. While individual component failures are well documented, there's insufficient analysis of hazards that could emerge from component interactions, especially:

  1. Between the Energy Measurement and Refactoring modules - no analysis of how incorrect energy measurements could compound with refactoring decisions
  2. Between the Testing and Reinforcement Learning modules - no consideration of how test failures could affect the learning model's training
  3. Between concurrent refactorings - no analysis of hazards from multiple refactoring operations happening simultaneously

This is particularly important because the system involves complex interactions between measurement, testing, refactoring and machine learning components. The team should add new rows to the FMEA table specifically analyzing these interaction hazards, as component-level analysis alone may miss important system-level failure modes. This would also help ensure their safety requirements adequately address integration risks, not just component-level risks.
