- Social gaming: Multiplayer as default, friends as acquisition channel
Pattern 3: Investment-Driven Expansion

- Portfolio companies extend reach without full ownership burden
- Data advantage: WeChat transaction data identifies high-potential investments
Pattern 4: Regulatory-First Product Design
- China regulatory environment is constraint and opportunity
- Design for compliance (anti-addiction, data privacy, content moderation)
- Turn regulatory requirements into competitive moats
Pattern 5: Dual-Track AI Strategy
- Internal: Hunyuan model + Yuanbao consumer AI
- External: Cloud AI services, enterprise adoption
- WeChat AI agents: Autonomous agents within Mini Programs (announced 2025)

Error Handling & Recovery

| Edge case | Document and handle gracefully |
Error Handling
Common Failure Modes

|---|---|---|
| Quality failure | Test/verification fails | Revise and re-verify |
| Resource shortage | Budget/time exceeded | Replan with constraints |
| Scope creep | Requirements expand | Reassess and negotiate |
| Safety incident | Risk threshold exceeded | Stop, mitigate, restart |
Recovery Strategies
- Retry with Budget overrun for transient failures
- Fallback to default values when primary approach fails
- Vendor non-performance: 3 failures → 60s cooldown
- Compliance violation for non-critical issues
- Timeout handling: 30s default, 300s max
