 ## Phase 6: Owner Acceptance

+### Demonstration
+The implementation successfully adds container port visibility in lightweight mode:
+
+**New Behavior**:
+1. When running in lightweight mode, container status is polled every 1 second
+2. Polling continues until all containers are "Up" or 30 second timeout
+3. Container names, status, and ports are displayed regardless of outcome
+4. Clear messaging indicates whether all containers are running or timeout occurred
+
+**Example Output** (when containers are ready):
+```
+🔧 Quick infrastructure health check (lightweight mode)...
+🔍 Polling container status (every 1s, max 30s)...
+✅ All containers running after 5s
+🐳 Container Status and Ports (All Running):
+NAMES                           STATUS              PORTS
+kafka-abc123                    Up 10 minutes       0.0.0.0:9092->9092/tcp
+flink-jobmanager-xyz789         Up 8 minutes        0.0.0.0:8081->8081/tcp
+flink-taskmanager-def456        Up 8 minutes        
+✅ Infrastructure health check passed (lightweight)
+```
+
+**Example Output** (when timeout occurs):
+```
+🔧 Quick infrastructure health check (lightweight mode)...
+🔍 Polling container status (every 1s, max 30s)...
+🐳 Container Status and Ports (Timeout - showing current state):
+NAMES                           STATUS              PORTS
+kafka-abc123                    Created             
+flink-jobmanager-xyz789         Up 2 minutes        0.0.0.0:8081->8081/tcp

 ## Lessons Learned & Future Reference (MANDATORY)
-Will be updated after implementation is complete.
+### What Worked Well
+- **Minimal Change Approach**: Only modified lightweight mode, no impact on full validation
+- **Reused Infrastructure**: Leveraged existing `RunDockerCommandAsync` method
+- **Smart Polling Pattern**: Followed WI14 pattern - checks every 1s instead of fixed delays
+- **Clear Messaging**: Users can see both success (containers ready) and timeout scenarios
+- **Edge Case Handling**: Properly handles empty container lists and container runtime unavailability
+
+### What Could Be Improved
+- Could make polling interval and max attempts configurable via test settings
+- Could add filtering to show only specific containers (e.g., only infrastructure containers)
+- Could add retry logic if container runtime temporarily fails
+
+### Key Insights for Similar Tasks
+- **Container visibility is important even in "lightweight" mode** - users need to debug issues
+- **Smart polling is better than fixed delays** - containers may be ready immediately or take time
+- **Always provide context in output** - indicate whether success or timeout occurred
+- **Handle both Docker and Podman** - the existing infrastructure already supports this
+
+### Specific Problems to Avoid in Future
+- Don't assume users don't need container information in performance-optimized modes
+- Don't use fixed delays when smart polling can detect readiness earlier
+- Always provide clear status messages (success vs timeout) in output
+- Consider both happy path (containers ready) and timeout scenarios
+
+### Reference for Future WIs
+**When adding container diagnostics to test infrastructure**:
+1. Use smart polling with 1-second intervals for quick feedback
+2. Set reasonable timeouts (30s is good for container readiness)
+3. Display comprehensive information (names, status, ports) for debugging
+4. Provide clear context about what the output represents (all running vs timeout)
+5. Reuse existing container runtime abstractions (Docker/Podman support)
+6. Follow patterns from WI14 for polling logic
+7. Ensure minimal performance impact while providing necessary visibility
