+Feature: Data Integrity - Session Rollback on Shared UoW Session
+  As a developer
+  I want repositories to NOT call rollback() on shared UnitOfWork sessions
+  So that database errors in one repository don't roll back all pending work from other repositories
+
+  Background:
+    Given I have a clean in-memory SQLite database
+    And I have initialized the database schema
+
+  Scenario: ProjectRepository does not rollback shared session on error
+    Given I have a UnitOfWork with a shared session
+    And I have a ProjectRepository using the shared session
+    And I have an ActionRepository using the session factory
+    When I create an action in the shared session
+    And I flush the action to the database
+    And I attempt to create a project with invalid data that causes a database error
+    Then the action should still be persisted in the database
+    And the database error should be raised
+    And the shared session should NOT be rolled back by the repository
+
+  Scenario: Multiple repositories in same UoW transaction
+    Given I have a UnitOfWork with a shared session
+    And I have a ProjectRepository using the shared session
+    And I have a ContextRepository using the shared session
+    When I create a project in the shared session
+    And I flush the project to the database
+    And I add context items to the shared session
+    And I flush the context to the database
+    And I attempt to create another project with invalid data
+    Then the first project should be persisted
+    And the context items should be persisted
+    And the second project creation should fail
+    And the shared session should NOT be rolled back by the repository
+
+  Scenario: UnitOfWork manages transaction lifecycle exclusively
+    Given I have a UnitOfWork with a shared session
+    And I have a ProjectRepository using the shared session
+    When I create a project in the shared session
+    And I flush the project to the database
+    And I attempt to create a project with invalid data
+    Then the UnitOfWork should handle the rollback
+    And the repository should NOT call rollback() on the shared session
+    And the error should be propagated to the caller
+
+  Scenario: Session-factory repositories can still rollback their own sessions
+    Given I have an ActionRepository using a session factory
+    When I create an action using the session factory
+    And I flush the action to the database
+    And I attempt to create a duplicate action
+    Then the ActionRepository should rollback its own session
+    And the duplicate action should not be persisted
+    And a DuplicateActionError should be raised
+
+  Scenario: ChangeRepository does not rollback shared session
+    Given I have a UnitOfWork with a shared session
+    And I have a ChangeRepository using the shared session
+    And I have a DebugAttemptRepository using the shared session
+    When I add a change to the shared session
+    And I flush the change to the database
+    And I add a debug attempt to the shared session
+    And I flush the debug attempt to the database
+    And I attempt to add another change with invalid data
+    Then the first change should be persisted
+    And the debug attempt should be persisted
+    And the second change creation should fail
+    And the shared session should NOT be rolled back by the repository
+
+  Scenario: ActorRepository does not rollback shared session
+    Given I have a UnitOfWork with a shared session
+    And I have an ActorRepository using the shared session
+    When I upsert an actor in the shared session
+    And I flush the actor to the database
+    And I attempt to upsert another actor with invalid data
+    Then the first actor should be persisted
+    And the second actor creation should fail
+    And the shared session should NOT be rolled back by the repository
+
+  Scenario: PlanRepository does not rollback shared session
+    Given I have a UnitOfWork with a shared session
+    And I have a PlanRepository using the shared session
+    When I create a plan in the shared session
+    And I flush the plan to the database
+    And I attempt to create a plan with invalid data
+    Then the first plan should be persisted
+    And the second plan creation should fail
+    And the shared session should NOT be rolled back by the repository
