06 - SUPERTRACK F: Rollback Blueprint Review

Checks

check result
rollback order reverse-safe PASS - doc 05 invariant 1 = exact reverse of doc 02 §2.6 (writer_repoint ... policy_rule -> envelope -> manifest_set)
rollback can return to safe-blocked state PASS - invariant 4; G-ROLLBACK-SAFE on every step
rollback before vs after activation differs where needed PASS - pre-activation drops empty candidate-only; post-activation = new candidate with prior payload (never drops)
rollback does not re-enable legacy bypass PASS-after-fix - XHB-02; doc 05 note 5 makes the safe-blocked baseline explicit
rollback restores Directus read behavior PASS - S16 rollback restores prior ownership+grants from verified snapshot
rollback snapshot exists before ACL/grant changes PASS - MX-3: captured + verified + rehearsed before REVOKE
rollback covers owner/role/grant changes PASS - S16 row
rollback covers manifest activation failure PASS - S14 row (re-activate prior payload)
rollback covers partial creation failure PASS - S04-S08 pre-activation reverse-order drop of empty objects
rollback covers expected-constraint mismatch PASS - S08/S11 no-go halts before seal; candidate-only objects dropped in reverse order

Finding (carried from SUPERTRACK C)

XHB-02 (P1) - rollback re-opening legacy executability

  • Already detailed in doc 03. The rollback table (S15) restored prior legacy EXECUTE grants without stating why that is safe.
  • Fix: doc 05 note 5 - S15 rollback returns to the exact pre-cutover baseline, which was itself safe-blocked (apply blocked since Codex NOT_SAFE; no permit open); the new control plane is not deleted (dormant/superseded); G-ROLLBACK-SAFE asserts the independent apply/permit block holds.

Additional rigor check - "rollback completeness" claim

doc 05 claims ROLLBACK_BLUEPRINT_COMPLETE for S01..S18. Verified each row has action + dependency + order + verify + operator + safe-blocked. S00/S11/S19 are read-only (no rollback needed) - correctly omitted. The one hard precondition (verified ACL snapshot) is a mandatory package output, not implicit. Claim stands.

Verdict

ROLLBACK_PASS_AFTER_FIX - every future change has a defined, reverse-safe, safe-blocked-preserving rollback; the one ambiguity (legacy EXECUTE on S15 rollback) is now explicitly justified.
