+## Downstream from dd-trace-py
+
+dd-trace-py triggers this repo after building wheels for a commit. The
+[`downstream-python.yml`](.github/workflows/downstream-python.yml) workflow
+installs ddtrace from the S3 wheel for that SHA (`DDTRACE_INSTALL_URL`) and
+runs selected Python scenarios.

+**Triggers (non-blocking):**
+
+| Source | When | Where to see results |
+|--------|------|----------------------|
+| **GitLab** `prof-correctness` job | After `upload all`; profiling path changes on `main` or MR | [prof-correctness Actions](https://github.com/DataDog/prof-correctness/actions/workflows/downstream-python.yml) — filter by commit SHA |
+| **GitHub** `.github/workflows/prof-correctness.yml` in dd-trace-py | Profiling path changes on PR/push; `workflow_dispatch` | Same Actions page |
+
+Both use [dd-octo-sts](https://github.com/DataDog/dd-octo-sts-action) (`dd-trace-py.gitlab.trigger-ci` / `dd-trace-py.github.trigger-ci`) to call `gh workflow run downstream-python.yml`.
+
+**Inputs:**
+
+- `dd_trace_py_commit_sha` — commit to test (required)
+- `test_scenarios` — regexp passed to `TEST_SCENARIOS` (dd-trace-py passes the [6-scenario 3.14/3.15 migration gate](scenarios/python_downstream_gate/README.md); the downstream workflow default alone is `python.*`)

+# Python downstream gate (dd-trace-py)
+
+Six prof-correctness scenarios exercise the profiling stack on **3.14
+(baseline)** and **3.15 (candidate)** for the same workloads. They are the
+default set when dd-trace-py triggers downstream CI on profiling changes.
+
+## Scenarios
+
+| Family | 3.14 (baseline) | 3.15 (candidate) |
+|--------|-------------------|------------------|
+| exceptions | `python_exceptions_3.14` | `python_exceptions_3.15` |
+| async-gen | `python_async_gen_3.14` | `python_async_gen_3.15` |
+| lock | `python_lock_3.14` | `python_lock_3.15` |
+
+## Profiler coverage
+
+| Family | Profile type asserted | Collectors / setup |
+|--------|----------------------|--------------------|
+| exceptions | `exception-samples` + `exception type` | Exception profiler |
+| async-gen | `wall-time` | Full profiler via `ddtrace-run`; asyncio async-generator workload |
+| lock | `lock-acquire` + `lock-release` + `lock name` | Lock profiler; threaded lock churn |
+
+Feature-specific pairs (mem_domain, live_heap) and extended coverage (cpu, alloc,
+asyncio, …) land in follow-up PRs.
+
+## Default downstream regexp
+
+```
+python_(exceptions|async_gen|lock)_3\.(14|15)
+```
+
+Override via `workflow_dispatch` → `test_scenarios`, or when triggering
+[`downstream-python.yml`](../../.github/workflows/downstream-python.yml) manually.
+
+## Wheel install
+
+- **All `*_3.15` folders** use `DDTRACE_INSTALL_URL` (excluded from `main` CI).
+- **3.14 folders** run on prof-correctness `main` CI against PyPI ddtrace.
+
+## Local run
+
+```sh
+export DDTRACE_INSTALL_URL="https://dd-trace-py-builds.s3.amazonaws.com/<commit-sha>/install.sh"
+TEST_SCENARIOS='python_(exceptions|async_gen|lock)_3\.(14|15)' go test -v -run TestScenarios
+```
+
