A governance fix page for **prompt stability, approval flows, and change control**.  
Use this page when uncontrolled prompt edits, hidden overrides, or missing approval gates destabilize your RAG or reasoning pipeline.

---

## When to use this page
- Prompts are edited directly in production without sign-off.  
- Fine-tuned prompts drift from documented baseline.  
- Multi-agent pipelines apply different prompt rules with no central approval.  
- No version history or rollback path exists for prompt changes.  
- Waivers for unsafe prompt edits lack expiry or owner.  

---

## Acceptance targets
- **Prompt policy coverage ≥ 0.95** across live agents, RAG steps, and evaluation sets.  
- **ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ 0.45** after prompt edits (no semantic drift).  
- **λ_observe remains convergent** across 3 paraphrases and 2 seeds.  
- Each prompt edit has **recorded owner, approval, and expiry date**.  
- Version rollback possible in under 60 seconds.  

---

## Typical breakpoints and WFGY fix

- **Live edits destabilize outputs**  
  → [retrieval-traceability.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md)  
  Require citation schema and provenance anchors before prompt rollout.

- **Hidden prompt injection bypasses control**  
  → [prompt-injection.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/prompt-injection.md)  
  Enforce structural schema locks to prevent drift into unsafe states.

- **Baseline prompts vanish after fine-tuning**  
  → [policy_baseline.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Governance/policy_baseline.md)  
  Require reference to immutable baseline for audit and rollback.

- **Conflicts between agents** (different policies in orchestration)  
  → [Multi-Agent Problems](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/Multi-Agent_Problems.md)  
  Use role namespaces and explicit prompt slots to enforce alignment.

- **No audit trail for prompt changes**  
  → [audit_and_logging.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Governance/audit_and_logging.md)  
  Require immutable logging of who changed what, when, and why.

## Minimal governance checklist
1. **Immutable baselines** — Store canonical prompt versions in a controlled repo.  
2. **Approval required** — Every change must be signed off before rollout.  
3. **Waivers expire** — Unsafe or experimental prompts must auto-expire.  
4. **Rollback path** — 1-click restore of previous prompt version.  
5. **Drift checks** — Run ΔS/λ probes after every edit; block rollout if drift > 0.45.  
6. **Audit logs** — Immutable records joinable to governance lineage.
