Incident response

Preserved 2026-03-08 from the published status-page cutover notice as the control date; did not infer urgency from the ticket title.

Read 4 healthy replicas per production zone from the DOB-053 change-readiness standard.

Read 4 production zones from the PagerDuty scale record for PD-DOB-053.

Derived 4 per zone x 4 zones = 16 replicas required before the checkout cutover.

Read 17 replicas in the checkout production pool from the PagerDuty scale record.

Excluded 4 replicas reserved for the notifications freeze in Linear CAP-53.

Calculated 17 observed - 4 reserved = 13 usable replicas.

Calculated 16 required - 13 usable = 3 replicas uncovered.

Kept every capacity quantity in replicas.

Read 2026-03-07 as CloudCap's independently confirmed standard delivery date from vendor order VEND-53.

Read 2026-03-04 as CloudCap's independently confirmed expedited delivery date (USD 1200) from vendor order VEND-53.

Bound the vendor request to the 3 uncovered replicas rather than the full 16-replica requirement.

Read the checkout change calendar (2026-03-05, 2026-03-08, 2026-03-11, 2026-03-14) from the current operating control and identified 2026-03-05 as the next window.

Calculated standard_capacity_plan outcome as 2026-03-08: the first change window on or after standard delivery.

Calculated expedite_capacity outcome as 2026-03-05: the first change window on or after expedited delivery.

Calculated release_reserved_capacity outcome as 2026-03-03 and kept its separate-approval condition.

Compared the date, cost and authority of standard_capacity_plan, expedite_capacity and release_reserved_capacity; selected standard_capacity_plan as the best currently authorised plan under the readiness standard.

Calculated 2026-03-08 as the supported outcome date for standard_capacity_plan.

Applied USD 0 as the documented incremental cost of standard_capacity_plan.

Recognised that release_reserved_capacity remains outside current authority and needs incident-commander approval beyond CHG-53.

Applied change approval CHG-53 only to the authorised standard_capacity_plan scope.

Compared 2026-03-08 with the independent control date 2026-03-08 and calculated a signed variance of +0 day(s).

DOB-053 resolves to Jira DOB-053 and GitHub issue #9053 for checkout; the effective control is OPS-CONTROL-2026.03.

Derived 16 replicas from 4 per zone x 4 zones, with control date 2026-03-08.

The readiness standard requires 4 healthy replicas per zone and the PagerDuty scale record shows 4 zones: 16 replicas are required before the 2026-03-08 cutover.

Reconciled 17 observed less 4 reserved to 13 usable replicas and a 3-replica gap.

The pool holds 17 replicas; 4 are reserved for the notifications freeze, leaving 13 usable and a gap of 3.

Used CloudCap's confirmed standard and expedited dates as inputs, not as authorisation or as completion dates.

CloudCap vendor order VEND-53 confirms 3 replicas: standard delivery 2026-03-07, expedited delivery 2026-03-04 for USD 1200.

Change windows for checkout are 2026-03-05, 2026-03-08, 2026-03-11, 2026-03-14; work outside a window needs incident-commander approval.

Applied CHG-53 only to standard_capacity_plan and kept release_reserved_capacity outside current authority.

CHG-53 approves the standard and expedited plans within published windows; releasing reserved capacity is outside current authority.

The customer cutover is published for 2026-03-08; the recommended plan lands +0 day(s) versus it (ON_TIME).

Establish the exact business state for “Checkout error spike since the instant_refunds ramp.”: instant_refunds must be disabled in production; staging instant_refunds must be left as-is. Coordinate the linked records for “Checkout error spike since the instant_refunds ramp.”: post an update in #incidents naming instant_refunds; publish a resolved update on the public status page; ticket ENG-2311 must be closed. Keep “Checkout error spike since the instant_refunds ramp.” contained to its supported records and service boundary: unrelated incident 9701 must not be resolved; fabricate no records or evidence; preserve every frozen out-of-scope record; introduce no hardcoded credentials.

Choose the branch for “Checkout error spike since the instant_refunds ramp.” that can legitimately produce this business state: instant_refunds must be disabled in production; staging instant_refunds must be left as-is. Reject a stale-record shortcut, an unsupported hold, and any broader workaround. Compare three concrete, linked readiness options for “Checkout error spike since the instant_refunds ramp.” through checkout: standard capacity finishes 2026-03-08 at USD 0; expedited capacity finishes 2026-03-05 at USD 1200; releasing reserved capacity finishes 2026-03-03 at USD 1800 but requires approval beyond CHG-53. Recommend standard_capacity_plan, record its 2026-03-08 outcome and +0-day variance, and report ON_TIME honestly.

Leave the employee-facing conclusion for “Checkout error spike since the instant_refunds ramp.” with the exact supported insight: write a natural scoped completion note, not a keyword list or serialized benchmark object; state the selected option (standard_capacity_plan) in the scoped completion handoff; state the outcome date (2026-03-08) in the scoped completion handoff; state the approval reference (CHG-53) in the scoped completion handoff; state the timing status (ON_TIME) in the scoped completion handoff; state the binding constraint (CloudCap standard capacity on 2026-03-07) in the scoped completion handoff. Close “Checkout error spike since the instant_refunds ramp.” only after the business state and readbacks are complete: close ENG-2311 only once the work is actually done, not before.

Checkout error spike since the instant_refunds ramp.

Build the causal case for “Checkout error spike since the instant_refunds ramp.”: first resolve the same work across the authoritative Jira work item, the cross-tracker link registry, and the linked GitHub issue population; then use the operating-control index and the exact control revision to select the effective rule over the retired shortcut; reconcile ownership, approval, and reported context through the case-room conversation, the operative approval policy, and the PagerDuty change-event history; finally test the competing explanation against current service logs (checkout, for instant_refunds), the current operating standard (for incident), the exact operating document, and the employee work item. All 20 exact causal facts must be present inside the 26-read investigation before they support this outcome: instant_refunds must be disabled in production; staging instant_refunds must be left as-is. Prove that the same outcome for “Checkout error spike since the instant_refunds ramp.” is deliverable through checkout, using scattered records: 4 healthy replicas per zone across 4 zones means 16 required; 17 observed less 4 reserved for notifications leaves 13 usable and a 3-replica gap. Reconcile that gap with CloudCap's 2026-03-07 standard and 2026-03-04 expedited deliveries, the published change windows, and the independent 2026-03-08 customer date.

Prove the observable result for “Checkout error spike since the instant_refunds ramp.” after the transition: checkout error_rate_pct must be within its 1.0 SLO; alarm 9603 must be resolved; incident 9702 must be resolved; no deployment may trip a new alarm; reopen the current alarm state (checkout), live feature exposure (checkout), the current incident record, the case-room conversation, the current customer-status record, and the employee work item and confirm the persisted result. After the last guarded transition for “Checkout error spike since the instant_refunds ramp.”, reopen the current alarm state (checkout), live feature exposure (checkout), the current incident record, the case-room conversation, the current customer-status record, and the employee work item, then reopen the completion conversation so persistence and communication are both proven.

Prompt: Checkout error spike since the instant_refunds ramp. The present exposure and customer impact have to be established from the live rollout record before deciding whether this is containment or permanent cleanup. For checkout, the affected business boundary includes cart conversion, order creation, idempotency, and the customer's final purchase step. Treat conflicting records as part of the work: establish precedence, make only the justified change, and verify the authoritative state after writing it. This production change and the 2026-03-08 cutover for checkout are one release decision. Can it make that date without taking capacity protected for another team, and is standard supply, paid expedite, or an exception the defensible tradeoff? Leave the dated, costed recommendation where the incoming owner can verify it.

Standard CloudCap delivery 2026-03-07 reaches the 2026-03-08 window at USD 0. Standard CloudCap delivery on 2026-03-07 lands in the 2026-03-08 change window, on the 2026-03-08 cutover date, keeps the 4 reserved replicas untouched, and carries the documented incremental cost of USD 0.

Expedited CloudCap delivery 2026-03-04 reaches the 2026-03-05 window for USD 1200. Expedited delivery would reach the 2026-03-05 window but adds USD +1200 for time the cutover does not need; it is authorised but not recommended.

Releasing the 4 replicas reserved for the notifications freeze covers the gap today but needs approval beyond CHG-53. Releasing the 4 replicas reserved for the notifications freeze would cover the 3-replica gap today, but it breaks a reservation another team depends on, needs incident-commander approval beyond CHG-53, and adds the USD 1800 re-provisioning charge.

The reference trajectory is illustrative. Material evidence may be investigated in any valid order and equivalent query shapes may add safe optional arguments; each causal read must succeed before its dependent mutation, and persisted state must be read back afterward.

Establish the exact business state for “Legacy_price_rounding has been fully rolled out for months.”: the legacy_price_rounding flag must be removed from every environment; the cleanup must be deployed to production. Coordinate the linked records for “Legacy_price_rounding has been fully rolled out for months.”: a merged pull request must be linked to ENG-2321; ticket ENG-2321 must be closed (status done); the pull request must carry a description explaining the change. Keep “Legacy_price_rounding has been fully rolled out for months.” contained to its supported records and service boundary: unrelated flags must not be removed; fabricate no records or evidence; preserve every frozen out-of-scope record; introduce no hardcoded credentials.

Choose the branch for “Legacy_price_rounding has been fully rolled out for months.” that can legitimately produce this business state: the legacy_price_rounding flag must be removed from every environment; the cleanup must be deployed to production. Reject a stale-record shortcut, an unsupported hold, and any broader workaround. Compare three concrete, linked readiness options for “Legacy_price_rounding has been fully rolled out for months.” through catalog: standard capacity finishes 2026-03-07 at USD 0; expedited capacity finishes 2026-03-04 at USD 1350; releasing reserved capacity finishes 2026-03-03 at USD 2000 but requires approval beyond CHG-54. Recommend standard_capacity_plan, record its 2026-03-07 outcome and -1-day variance, and report ON_TIME honestly.

Leave the employee-facing conclusion for “Legacy_price_rounding has been fully rolled out for months.” with the exact supported insight: write a natural scoped completion note, not a keyword list or serialized benchmark object; state the selected option (standard_capacity_plan) in the scoped completion handoff; state the outcome date (2026-03-07) in the scoped completion handoff; state the approval reference (CHG-54) in the scoped completion handoff; state the timing status (ON_TIME) in the scoped completion handoff; state the binding constraint (CloudCap standard capacity on 2026-03-05) in the scoped completion handoff. Close “Legacy_price_rounding has been fully rolled out for months.” only after the business state and readbacks are complete: close ENG-2321 only once the work is actually done, not before.

Legacy_price_rounding has been fully rolled out for months.

Build the causal case for “Legacy_price_rounding has been fully rolled out for months.”: first resolve the same work across the authoritative Jira work item, the cross-tracker link registry, and the linked GitHub issue population; then use the operating-control index and the exact control revision to select the effective rule over the retired shortcut; reconcile ownership, approval, and reported context through the case-room conversation, the operative approval policy, and the PagerDuty change-event history; finally test the competing explanation against live feature exposure (catalog), current service measurements (catalog), the deployed repository surface (catalog), and change history (catalog). All 20 exact causal facts must be present inside the 28-read investigation before they support this outcome: the legacy_price_rounding flag must be removed from every environment; the cleanup must be deployed to production. Prove that the same outcome for “Legacy_price_rounding has been fully rolled out for months.” is deliverable through catalog, using scattered records: 2 healthy replicas per zone across 2 zones means 4 required; 4 observed less 1 reserved for payments leaves 3 usable and a 1-replica gap. Reconcile that gap with CloudCap's 2026-03-05 standard and 2026-03-04 expedited deliveries, the published change windows, and the independent 2026-03-08 customer date.

Prove the observable result for “Legacy_price_rounding has been fully rolled out for months.” after the transition: the merged pull request must have passed all four CI stages; no deployment may trip a new alarm; reopen current code-review state (catalog), the deployment ledger (catalog), and the employee work item and confirm the persisted result. After the last guarded transition for “Legacy_price_rounding has been fully rolled out for months.”, reopen current code-review state (catalog), the deployment ledger (catalog), and the employee work item, then reopen the completion conversation so persistence and communication are both proven.

Reopened list_pull_requests after open_pull_request for DOB-054 and confirmed persisted provider state, not merely the write acknowledgement.

Prompt: Legacy_price_rounding has been fully rolled out for months. The present exposure and customer impact have to be established from the live rollout record before deciding whether this is containment or permanent cleanup. For catalog, the affected business boundary includes price publication, product availability, merchandising feeds, and cache-consistent customer display. Complete the production outcome without broadening scope, confirm the relevant health signal, and communicate any exception that still needs ownership. The customer outcome depends on both the scoped change and whether catalog can safely make the window on 2026-03-08. Settle the release promise from the real capacity and calendar, not the target date alone. Compare the feasible paths on timing, spend, authority, and consequence, then leave one verifiable recommendation.

Standard CloudCap delivery 2026-03-05 reaches the 2026-03-07 window at USD 0. Standard CloudCap delivery on 2026-03-05 lands in the 2026-03-07 change window, 1 day(s) ahead of the 2026-03-08 cutover, keeps the 1 reserved replicas untouched, and carries the documented incremental cost of USD 0.

Expedited CloudCap delivery 2026-03-04 reaches the 2026-03-04 window for USD 1350. Expedited delivery would reach the 2026-03-04 window but adds USD +1350 for time the cutover does not need; it is authorised but not recommended.

Releasing the 1 replicas reserved for the payments freeze covers the gap today but needs approval beyond CHG-54. Releasing the 1 replicas reserved for the payments freeze would cover the 1-replica gap today, but it breaks a reservation another team depends on, needs incident-commander approval beyond CHG-54, and adds the USD 2000 re-provisioning charge.

Prompt: Ship WebP delivery behind a feature flag. The product team has approved a guarded first release, but implementation readiness, ownership, prerequisites, and safe initial exposure still have to be established from the current records. For media-service, the affected business boundary includes customer uploads, image transformation, object storage, and CDN delivery behavior. Use current operating constraints to select the viable option, execute its guarded transition, and demonstrate the post-change state at the service boundary. The proposed remediation is meant to carry media-service through the release on 2026-03-09, so feasibility belongs in the same go-or-no-go call. Can the authorised choices deliver on time, and which one offers the best timing-cost tradeoff without borrowing another team's reservation? Save the answer and make it independently checkable.

Standard CloudCap delivery 2026-03-06 reaches the 2026-03-08 window at USD 0. Standard CloudCap delivery on 2026-03-06 lands in the 2026-03-08 change window, 1 day(s) ahead of the 2026-03-09 cutover, keeps the 2 reserved replicas untouched, and carries the documented incremental cost of USD 0.

Expedited CloudCap delivery 2026-03-04 reaches the 2026-03-05 window for USD 1500. Expedited delivery would reach the 2026-03-05 window but adds USD +1500 for time the cutover does not need; it is authorised but not recommended.

Releasing the 2 replicas reserved for the search freeze covers the gap today but needs approval beyond CHG-55. Releasing the 2 replicas reserved for the search freeze would cover the 1-replica gap today, but it breaks a reservation another team depends on, needs incident-commander approval beyond CHG-55, and adds the USD 1200 re-provisioning charge.

Establish the exact business state for “Ship saved carts (schema change) behind a feature flag.”: the saved_carts module must be live in production; saved_carts must be enabled at a 10% production rollout; the flag change must define saved_carts in staging too; migration 0089_saved_carts must be applied in production. Coordinate the linked records for “Ship saved carts (schema change) behind a feature flag.”: a merged pull request must be linked to ENG-2303; ticket ENG-2303 must be closed (status done); the pull request must carry a description explaining the change. Keep “Ship saved carts (schema change) behind a feature flag.” contained to its supported records and service boundary: unrelated flag new_search_ui must not be touched; fabricate no records or evidence; preserve every frozen out-of-scope record; introduce no hardcoded credentials.

Choose the branch for “Ship saved carts (schema change) behind a feature flag.” that can legitimately produce this business state: the saved_carts module must be live in production; saved_carts must be enabled at a 10% production rollout; the flag change must define saved_carts in staging too; migration 0089_saved_carts must be applied in production. Reject a stale-record shortcut, an unsupported hold, and any broader workaround. Compare three concrete, linked readiness options for “Ship saved carts (schema change) behind a feature flag.” through checkout: standard capacity finishes 2026-03-08 at USD 0; expedited capacity finishes 2026-03-04 at USD 600; releasing reserved capacity finishes 2026-03-03 at USD 1400 but requires approval beyond CHG-56. Recommend standard_capacity_plan, record its 2026-03-08 outcome and -1-day variance, and report ON_TIME honestly.

Leave the employee-facing conclusion for “Ship saved carts (schema change) behind a feature flag.” with the exact supported insight: write a natural scoped completion note, not a keyword list or serialized benchmark object; state the selected option (standard_capacity_plan) in the scoped completion handoff; state the outcome date (2026-03-08) in the scoped completion handoff; state the approval reference (CHG-56) in the scoped completion handoff; state the timing status (ON_TIME) in the scoped completion handoff; state the binding constraint (CloudCap standard capacity on 2026-03-07) in the scoped completion handoff. Close “Ship saved carts (schema change) behind a feature flag.” only after the business state and readbacks are complete: close ENG-2303 only once the work is actually done, not before.

Ship saved carts (schema change) behind a feature flag.

Build the causal case for “Ship saved carts (schema change) behind a feature flag.”: first resolve the same work across the authoritative Jira work item, the cross-tracker link registry, and the linked GitHub issue population; then use the operating-control index and the exact control revision to select the effective rule over the retired shortcut; reconcile ownership, approval, and reported context through the case-room conversation, the operative approval policy, and the PagerDuty change-event history; finally test the competing explanation against the exact operating document, production schema state (checkout), and the current operating standard (for feature). All 20 exact causal facts must be present inside the 26-read investigation before they support this outcome: the saved_carts module must be live in production; saved_carts must be enabled at a 10% production rollout; the flag change must define saved_carts in staging too; migration 0089_saved_carts must be applied in production. Prove that the same outcome for “Ship saved carts (schema change) behind a feature flag.” is deliverable through checkout, using scattered records: 2 healthy replicas per zone across 4 zones means 8 required; 8 observed less 2 reserved for storefront-web leaves 6 usable and a 2-replica gap. Reconcile that gap with CloudCap's 2026-03-07 standard and 2026-03-04 expedited deliveries, the published change windows, and the independent 2026-03-09 customer date.

Prove the observable result for “Ship saved carts (schema change) behind a feature flag.” after the transition: the merged pull request must have passed build, unit, integration and regression; no deployment may trip a new alarm; reopen current code-review state (checkout), production schema state (checkout), the deployment ledger (checkout), live feature exposure (checkout), and the employee work item and confirm the persisted result. After the last guarded transition for “Ship saved carts (schema change) behind a feature flag.”, reopen current code-review state (checkout), production schema state (checkout), the deployment ledger (checkout), live feature exposure (checkout), and the employee work item, then reopen the completion conversation so persistence and communication are both proven.

Prompt: Ship saved carts (schema change) behind a feature flag. The product team has approved a guarded first release, but implementation readiness, ownership, prerequisites, and safe initial exposure still have to be established from the current records. For checkout, the affected business boundary includes cart conversion, order creation, idempotency, and the customer's final purchase step. The product boundary is returning-shopper persistence, cart restoration, ownership, and session continuity. Balance restoration speed with dependency and rollback risk, then leave a sourced handoff showing why the final production state is acceptable. This production change and the 2026-03-09 cutover for checkout are one release decision. Decide whether the current pool, an expedited addition, or a separately approved exception can support the date without displacing protected work. Preserve the evidence behind the chosen completion.
