Commissioning the Webb telescope to realize the observatory’s full capability necessitated the development of robust wavefront sensing and control processes. These processes rely on techniques that were adapted or newly innovated for the mission, and further adaptation of these techniques may be expected for future segmented telescopes. Over the course of mission development, these techniques were refined to form a baseline wavefront commissioning plan that assumes several conditions and performance requirements are met. Herein we present efforts carried out to define and develop contingency concepts of operation for Webb telescope commissioning, and the mission-level approach to managing the response to deviations from the baseline plan in the event of significant off-nominal or anomaly scenarios encountered by the wavefront team. An overview of selected contingencies is presented along with more detailed example model cases and instances of interest encountered in flight.
