1927614 - (multi-profile-spike-set-default) [Spike] Test multi-profile set-to-default spotlight message

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Messaging System, task, P2)

Description

[Dan Mosedale (:dmosedale, :dmose)]

The intent here is to understand the risks around multi-profile messages outside of experiments and rollouts. With this spike, we hope to gain an understanding a variety of things; see https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Z5pU_VcuRaWBfb26JTWqTOXG-55nxtQrovKN6x1YITQ/edit?tab=t.0 for details.

Proposed approach: clone FOX_DOODLE_SET_DEFAULT, and start playing with it
locally with multi-profiles enabled, and go through the above document, adding info/commentary/questions
as you go.

We could consider deploying this to nightly once multi-profiles are turned on and looking at the telemetry to learn more about behaviors in the wild.

The intent is to try to complete an initial investigation by the end of the day on Monday, December 2nd, so that drafting a plan to address what we have found can start on Tuesday, December 3rd.

Deliverable:

The Google doc has been updated with

1. any info that seems worth capturing
2. a short summary about this particular investigation and how it is similar / different from the other spikes discussed. Include a link to this ticket.
