+## Blockchain Execution Model (Critical for Code Review)
+
+When reviewing this codebase, keep these fundamental blockchain properties in mind:
+
+### Transaction Atomicity
+
+**All blockchain transactions are atomic.** If any operation within a transaction panics/reverts, ALL state changes made during that transaction are rolled back completely. There is no "partial completion" scenario.
+
+- In Cadence: `panic()` reverts all state changes in the transaction
+- In Solidity: `revert()` or failed `require()` reverts all state changes
+- This is **by design** and is the correct way to ensure data consistency
+
+Therefore, patterns like:
+```cadence
+// This is SAFE - if processRequest panics, the remove never happened
+scheduledRequests.remove(key: requestId)
+processResult = worker.processRequest(request)  // if this panics, the line above reverts too
+```
+
+### Sequential Execution (No On-Chain Race Conditions)
+
+**Blockchain transactions execute one at a time in a deterministic order.** There is no parallel execution within the same blockchain execution environment.
+
+- Transactions are ordered within blocks and executed sequentially
+- Two transactions cannot "race" against each other simultaneously
+- What might look like a "race condition" is actually just transaction ordering, which is well-defined behavior
+
+This means scenarios like "Transaction A completes but Transaction B sees stale state" are **impossible** within the same execution context. By the time Transaction B executes, Transaction A has either fully committed or fully reverted.
+
+### Implications for This Codebase
+
+1. **WorkerHandler/SchedulerHandler coordination** is safe because they run in separate transactions that execute sequentially
+2. **Panic-based error handling** in `processRequest()` is the correct pattern - it ensures atomicity across Cadence and EVM state
+3. **State removal before vs after processing** doesn't create race conditions - if processing fails, the entire transaction (including removal) reverts

+**Resources:**
+- **WorkerHandler**: Processes individual requests. Scheduled by SchedulerHandler to handle one request at a time.
+- **SchedulerHandler**: Recurrent job that checks for pending requests and schedules WorkerHandlers based on available capacity.
 
 **Responsibilities:**
-- Implement `FlowTransactionScheduler.TransactionHandler` interface
-- Trigger Worker's `processRequests()` on scheduled execution
-- Auto-schedule next execution based on queue depth
-- Dynamic execution effort calculation based on request count
+- Implement `FlowTransactionScheduler.TransactionHandler` interface for both handlers
+- SchedulerHandler checks for pending requests at fixed intervals
+- SchedulerHandler calls `preprocessRequests()` which validates and transitions requests (PENDING → PROCESSING/FAILED)
+- SchedulerHandler schedules WorkerHandlers for valid requests returned by `preprocessRequests()`
+- SchedulerHandler identifies panicked WorkerHandlers and marks requests as FAILED
+- WorkerHandler processes a single request and updates EVM state on completion
+- Sequential scheduling for same-user requests to avoid block ordering issues

-## Adaptive Scheduling
+## Scheduling & Request Processing
+
+### SchedulerHandler Workflow
+
+The SchedulerHandler runs at a fixed interval (`schedulerWakeupInterval`, default 1 second) and performs the following:
+
+1. **Check if paused** - Skip scheduling if `isSchedulerPaused` is true
+2. **Crash recovery** - Identify WorkerHandlers that panicked and mark their requests as FAILED
+3. **Check capacity** - Calculate available slots: `maxProcessingRequests - scheduledRequests.length`
+4. **Fetch pending requests** - Get up to `capacity` pending requests from EVM
+5. **Preprocess requests** - Call `preprocessRequests()` which validates each request, fails invalid ones, and transitions valid ones to PROCESSING
+6. **Schedule workers** - Create WorkerHandler transactions for each valid request
+7. **Auto-reschedule** - Schedule next SchedulerHandler execution
+
+### WorkerHandler Workflow
 
-### Delay Thresholds
+Each WorkerHandler is scheduled to process a single request:
 
-| Pending Requests | Delay (seconds) | Description |
-|------------------|-----------------|-------------|
-| >= 11 | 3 | High load - rapid processing |
-| >= 5 | 5 | Medium load |
-| >= 1 | 7 | Low load |
-| 0 | 30 | Idle - minimal overhead |
+1. **Process request** - Call `worker.processRequest(request)` which handles the actual operation
+2. **Remove from tracking** - Remove request from `scheduledRequests` dictionary
+3. **Finalize on EVM** - The worker calls `completeProcessing()` to mark COMPLETED or FAILED
 
-### Scheduling Logic
+### Sequential Same-User Scheduling
+
+When multiple requests from the same EVM user are pending, they are scheduled with sequential delays to ensure ordering:
 
 ```cadence
-access(all) fun getDelayForPendingCount(_ pendingCount: Int): UFix64 {
-    // Find highest threshold that pendingCount meets
-    var bestThreshold: Int? = nil
-
-    for threshold in self.thresholdToDelay.keys {
-        if pendingCount >= threshold {
-            if bestThreshold == nil || threshold > bestThreshold! {
-                bestThreshold = threshold
-            }
-        }
+// Track user request count for scheduling offset
+let userScheduleOffset: {String: Int} = {}
+for request in requests {
+    let key = request.user.toString()
+    if userScheduleOffset[key] == nil {
+        userScheduleOffset[key] = 0
     }
+    userScheduleOffset[key] = userScheduleOffset[key]! + 1
+
+    // Offset delay by user request count
+    delay = delay + userScheduleOffset[key]! as! UFix64
 
-    return self.thresholdToDelay[bestThreshold] ?? self.defaultDelay
+    // Schedule with computed delay
+    // ...
 }
 ```
 
-### Execution Effort Calculation
+### Crash Recovery
 
-The handler dynamically calculates execution effort based on the maximum requests per transaction:
+The SchedulerHandler monitors scheduled WorkerHandlers for failures:
 
 ```cadence
-access(all) fun calculateExecutionEffortAndPriority(_ requestCount: Int): {String: AnyStruct} {
-    let calculated = self.baseEffortPerRequest * UInt64(requestCount) + self.baseOverhead
-    
-    // If calculated > 7500, need High priority (max 9999)
-    // Otherwise use Medium priority (max 7500)
-    if calculated > 7500 {
-        let capped = calculated < 9999 ? calculated : 9999
-        return {
-            "effort": capped,
-            "priority": 0 as UInt8  // High priority
-        }
-    } else {
-        return {
-            "effort": calculated,
-            "priority": 1 as UInt8  // Medium priority
-        }
-    }
-}
+// For each scheduled request:
+// 1. Check if scheduled timestamp has passed
+// 2. Get transaction status from manager
+// 3. If status is nil (cleaned up) or not Scheduled, the worker panicked
+// 4. Mark request as FAILED with error message
+// 5. Remove from scheduledRequests
 ```
 
-When idle (no pending requests), the handler uses Medium priority to ensure sufficient computation budget. The execution effort is set to the computed value (based on `maxRequestsPerTx`) but capped at `idleExecutionEffort` (5000, suitable for Medium priority). This ensures efficient handling of burst arrivals while providing adequate computation resources.
+### Configuration
+
+| Parameter | Default | Description |
+|-----------|---------|-------------|
+| `schedulerWakeupInterval` | 1.0s | Fixed interval between SchedulerHandler executions |
+| `maxProcessingRequests` | 3 | Maximum concurrent WorkerHandlers |
+
+### Execution Effort Constants
+
+Execution effort values are configurable via the `executionEffortConstants` dictionary and can be updated by the Admin using `setExecutionEffortConstants(key, value)`.
+
+| Key | Default | Description |
+|-----|---------|-------------|
+| `schedulerBaseEffort` | 700 | Base effort for SchedulerHandler execution |
+| `schedulerPerRequestEffort` | 1000 | Additional effort per request preprocessed |
+| `workerCreateYieldVaultRequestEffort` | 5000 | Effort for CREATE_YIELDVAULT requests |
+| `workerDepositRequestEffort` | 2000 | Effort for DEPOSIT_TO_YIELDVAULT requests |
+| `workerWithdrawRequestEffort` | 2000 | Effort for WITHDRAW_FROM_YIELDVAULT requests |
+| `workerCloseYieldVaultRequestEffort` | 5000 | Effort for CLOSE_YIELDVAULT requests |
+
+Priority is dynamically determined based on execution effort:
+- **Low**: effort ≤ 2500
+- **Medium**: 2500 < effort < 7500
+- **High**: effort ≥ 7500

+/// @title FlowYieldVaultsEVMWorkerOps
+/// @author Flow YieldVaults Team
+/// @notice Worker management contract for FlowYieldVaultsEVM requests processing and auto-scheduling.
+/// @dev This contract provides two resources that implement the TransactionHandler interface for
+///      auto-processing EVM requests:
+///      - WorkerHandler: Processes each request individually.
+///      - SchedulerHandler: Recurrent job that checks for pending requests and
+///                          schedules WorkerHandlers to process them based on available capacity.
+///
+///      Design Overview:
+///      - WorkerHandler is scheduled to process a specified request individually. Upon completion, it will finalize
+///        the request status back on EVM side.
+///      - SchedulerHandler is always scheduled to run at the configured interval. It checks if there are any
+///        pending requests in the EVM contract. If there are, it will schedule multiple WorkerHandlers to process the
+///        requests based on available capacity.
+///      - SchedulerHandler uses a two-phase capacity strategy:
+///        1) Current run reads run capacity from scheduler data (nil means 0) and processes up to that limit.
+///        2) It computes next run capacity from remaining pending requests and schedules the next run with
+///           matching execution effort.
+///      - This keeps idle/empty scheduler runs cheap while automatically scaling effort when backlog appears.
+///      - SchedulerHandler also identifies WorkerHandlers that panicked and handles the failure state changes accordingly.
+///      - SchedulerHandler preprocesses requests before scheduling WorkerHandlers to identify and fail invalid requests.
+///      - SchedulerHandler will schedule multiple WorkerHandlers for the same immediate height. If an EVM address has
+///        multiple pending requests, they will be offset sequentially to avoid randomization in the same block.
+///      - Contract provides shared state between WorkerHandler and SchedulerHandler (e.g. scheduledRequests dictionary).
+///
+///      EVM State Overview:
+///      - PENDING -> PROCESSING -> COMPLETED/FAILED
+///      - PENDING -> FAILED (drop/cancel/preprocess failure)
+///
+///      - PENDING:
+///        - Request was created by an EVM user and is awaiting processing
+///      - PROCESSING:
+///        - Preprocessing was successful
+///        - SchedulerHandler has scheduled a WorkerHandler to process the request
+///      - COMPLETED:
+///        - WorkerHandler has processed the request successfully and no failure occurred
+///      - FAILED:
+///        - WorkerHandler has processed the request successfully but it failed gracefully returning an error message
+///        - WorkerHandler has panicked and SchedulerHandler has marked the request as FAILED
+///        - Request was dropped or cancelled through the EVM contract

-/// @title FlowYieldVaultsTransactionHandler
-/// @author Flow YieldVaults Team
-/// @notice Handler contract for scheduled FlowYieldVaultsEVM request processing with auto-scheduling.
-/// @dev This contract manages the automated execution of EVM request processing through the
-///      FlowTransactionScheduler. After each execution, it automatically schedules the next
-///      execution based on the current workload.
-///
-///      Key features:
-///      - Dynamic delay adjustment based on pending request count
-///      - Cost-optimized idle polling (low effort when no pending requests)
-///      - Pausable execution for maintenance
-///
-///      Delay thresholds:
-///      - >= 11 pending: 3s delay (high load)
-///      - >= 5 pending: 5s delay (medium load)
-///      - >= 1 pending: 7s delay (low load)
-///      - 0 pending: 30s delay (idle)
