Rollback
Restoring a previously known deployment or configuration when the current release violates operational, quality, or safety criteria.
Why it matters
Agent and model changes can fail in production despite pre-deployment evaluation, so recovery must be designed before rollout.
In practice
Retain versioned artifacts and configuration, define rollback triggers, rehearse the command and data implications, and verify service health after restoration.
Common confusion
Code rollback does not automatically reverse database migrations, external side effects, cached outputs, or data written by the bad release.
