Breaking down stories? Sounds like they're trying to put humpty dumpty back together again. But hey, at least it's not as bad as trying to herd cats!

Option A sounds tempting, but reducing the WIP limits might just lead to a whole new set of problems. Better to address the root cause, like the team is doing.

Option D is intriguing, but I'm not sure creating a separate swimlane is the best solution. Seems like an unnecessary complication to the process.

I'm leaning towards Option B. Having a triage step to identify the risky stories upfront could be a game-changer. Proactive planning is key here.

I'm not sure about option C. Maybe we should consider option B as well to pre-identify risky stones.
