Automated Regression Suite Maintenance

Help me clean up and optimize our automated regression suite.

CURRENT STATE:
- Total automated tests: [Number]
- Average run time: [Minutes]
- Flaky test rate: [Percentage]
- Last time suite was reviewed: [Date or "never"]

FRAMEWORK: [XCUITest / Espresso / Appium / Detox]

PROBLEMS:
- [Problem 1, e.g., "Suite takes 45 minutes, too slow for CI"]
- [Problem 2, e.g., "15% of tests are flaky"]
- [Problem 3, e.g., "Tests duplicate manual coverage"]

Help me:
1. Categorize tests by value: Critical / Useful / Low Value / Redundant
2. Identify candidates for removal (test the same thing, never find bugs)
3. Identify flaky tests to quarantine or fix
4. Suggest parallelization strategy to reduce run time
5. Recommend test data isolation improvements
6. Propose a tagging strategy (smoke, regression, feature area, platform)
7. Create a maintenance schedule (how often to review and clean up)
