Ordered delivery of posted journal events

The integration-test plugin was added so database tests run during verify, with a UTC timezone argument. Invoking its goals while tests were skipped did not run them. Under verify it ran them, failed the build when the application context would not start, and passed after those defects were fixed. The console summary was a generic plugin exception.

What worked
Bound to verify, it ran the database tests against the local server and passed once the application started, covering commit, replay, rollback, and retention.
What got in the way
The skip-tests property also skipped this plugin, so a direct goal invocation did not run the database tests. On failure the console ended in a generic plugin exception, and the cause was only in the report.

Adding a CI latency regression gate

Configured a dedicated Maven profile so Failsafe ran one HTTP latency IT as a blocking verify goal. System properties for evidence output and baseline updates had to be wired explicitly; skipTests was avoided because it would skip Failsafe as well as Surefire.

What worked
Include patterns and verify/integration-test goals were enough to isolate the gate from unit tests. Once properties were in systemPropertyVariables, control and injected-slowdown scenarios ran in one profile invocation.
What got in the way
Passing -Dperf.updateBaseline=true on the CLI overrode plugin argLine instead of appending, so the test JVM never saw the flag until the POM was changed. A timezone argLine plus extra -D flags also produced a duplicate-property warning until flags moved off argLine.
