1. Restore configuration: git checkout ml/src/features/config.rs
2. Rebuild services: cargo build --workspace --release
3. Graceful restart (rolling restart for zero downtime)
4. Verify Wave D re-enabled: 225 features

Time: ~5 minutes Data Loss: None (Wave D data preserved)

Re-enabling Wave D After Level 2 Rollback

1. Re-apply database migration: sqlx migrate run
2. Verify migration applied: 3 tables created
3. Re-enable features (same as Level 1)
4. Restart services
5. Verify full Wave D functionality

Time: ~10 minutes Data Loss: Wave D historical data (new data can be generated)

Re-deploying Wave D After Level 3 Rollback

1. Find Wave D emergency tag
2. Checkout Wave D code
3. Re-apply database migration
4. Clean rebuild
5. Restore configuration
6. Manual service restart
7. Comprehensive validation (24-hour monitoring)

Time: ~20 minutes + 24-hour monitoring Data Loss: All Wave D data (restore from backup if critical)

All recovery procedures fully documented in ROLLBACK_PROCEDURES.md

Known Issues & Limitations

Issue 1: Level 1 Rollback Exceeds 60s Target

Problem: Current implementation takes 70-92s due to rebuild step.

Root Cause: Cargo rebuild in release mode takes 25-35s.

Impact: Minor (still <2 minutes, zero downtime maintained)

Workaround: Use Level 2 or 3 if Level 1 timing is critical.

Permanent Fix: Implement hot-reload configuration mechanism (future enhancement).

• Expected improvement: 70-92s → <10s
• Effort: 2-4 hours implementation + testing

Issue 2: Wave C Baseline Commit Not Tagged

Problem: Level 3 rollback relies on finding Wave C commit via git log grep.

Root Cause: No explicit "wave-c-baseline" git tag exists.

Impact: Level 3 rollback may fail if commit message changes or is not found.

Workaround: Manual commit selection documented in LEVEL_3_ROLLBACK_TEST.sh.

Permanent Fix: Create git tag for Wave C baseline.

WAVE_C_COMMIT=$(git log --all --oneline | grep -E "WAVE_C.*COMPLETE" | head -1 | awk '{print $1}')
git tag wave-c-baseline "$WAVE_C_COMMIT"

Issue 3: Emergency Contact Placeholders

Problem: Emergency contact phone numbers are placeholders (XXX-XXX-XXXX).

Root Cause: No actual on-call rotation or contact information provided.

Impact: Production incident response will fail without real contact info.

Workaround: None.

Permanent Fix: Update ROLLBACK_PROCEDURES.md and ROLLBACK_QUICK_REFERENCE.md with real contacts before production deployment.

• Required fields: Phone, Slack, Email for Primary, Backup, Manager
• Emergency hotline number
