10. Risks and Maintenance

Risk or requirement	Description
Driver access method	Refreshing token authentication every 30 minutes is impractical for automation. Driver and SDK packages should be openly downloadable or use long-lived authorization.
Specific dependency trade-offs	Some trade-offs are allowed at the intermediate stage, but specific dependencies must be eliminated before advanced cooperation.
Image build neutrality	Use neutral base images to demonstrate compatibility rather than relying entirely on vendor-customized images.
Long-term maintenance commitment	Advanced cooperation requires continuous security maintenance and progressive improvement of TLS and other version lifecycle management.
Heterogeneous mixed efficiency	When a chip is used in a heterogeneous cluster at the intermediate stage, pay particular attention to mixed communication efficiency of at least 81%.
Device SLA	CI devices must stay online 24/7, SVT machines must be isolated, and the FR machine must be configured independently. Long-term offline status may cause certification downgrade or revocation.
Waiver period	Each certification-test waiver may last no more than six months. An unresolved waiver must be resubmitted or may result in certification downgrade.
