If the rollback policy explains when rollback should happen, this pack shows what rollback should look like in small, concrete cases. 🧭
Its purpose is simple:
show a few minimal rollback cases
so the Auto Repair layer can move from rollback policy rules
to concrete, inspectable rollback behavior
This file does not claim to be a full rollback benchmark set.
It claims something smaller and more useful:
the project now has a first set of tiny rollback examples
for safe early repair actions in F1, F4, F7, and limited F5
Quick start 🚀
I want the shortest rollback reading
Use this path:
- read one example ID and its failed action
- inspect the rollback reason
- inspect the restore point
- inspect the post-rollback state
- inspect the next step
I want the stronger rollback reading
Use this page together with:
Short version:
see what failed
see what gets restored
see why rollback is correct
see what happens next ✨
1. Why this pack exists
The current Auto Repair layer already defines:
- when rollback should happen
- what rollback should restore
- how rollback relates to validation
- how rollback should connect to revision and escalation
But rules alone are not enough.
Without examples, rollback can still feel abstract.
This pack fills that gap.
It provides a few small examples that show:
- what repair action failed or caused harm
- what rollback target was chosen
- what restore point was used
- what the post-rollback state should look like
- what next step becomes reasonable
In short:
this pack is the first small evidence layer for rollback behavior
2. What these examples are meant to prove
These examples are intentionally small.
They are not meant to prove:
- full rollback automation
- deployment-grade state restoration
- universal rollback correctness across all families
They are meant to prove something narrower:
- a harmful or misleading repair can be identified
- a restore point can be named clearly
- rollback can be described locally and concretely
- post-rollback state can be summarized
- the workflow can continue safely after rollback
That is already very valuable.
3. Rollback examples quick map 🗂️
| Example | Main teaching focus |
|---|---|
| F1 example | rollback protects grounding truth when filtering over-prunes evidence |
| F4 example | rollback protects workflow usability when a gate becomes too restrictive |
| F7 example | rollback protects semantic fit when structure cleanup overshoots |
| limited F5 example | rollback protects diagnosability when visibility changes add noise instead of insight |
This page is the right place when the question is what healthy rollback behavior looks like in practice, not whether rollback has been fully automated.
4. Pack scope
This v1 pack includes four tiny rollback examples:
- one F1 example
- one F4 example
- one F7 example
- one limited F5 example
These were chosen because they are the best early families for:
- local repair actions
- visible local harm
- clear restore points
- simple rollback explanations
This pack intentionally does not include F6-heavy rollback cases.
Those remain too risky and too abstract for early tiny rollback samples.
5. Standard tiny rollback format
Each tiny rollback example uses the following structure:
- Example ID
- Family
- Failed or harmful repair action
- Rollback target
- Rollback reason
- Restore point
- Post-rollback state
- Next step
- Why rollback is correct
- Main teaching point
This format is intentionally small and reusable.
Example 1 · F1 Tiny Rollback Example
Example ID
TRE_F1_001
Family
F1 · Grounding and Evidence Integrity
Failed or harmful repair action
F1_AF_001
Filter misleading adjacent anchors
Rollback target
F1_AF_001
Rollback reason
The filtering step removed misleading anchors, but it also removed the truly relevant source chunk.
The repair made the evidence set look cleaner, but semantic alignment with the real source became worse.
Restore point
prior candidate evidence pool
Post-rollback state
The earlier evidence pool is restored so the system no longer remains trapped in the over-pruned evidence state.
The grounding problem is still unresolved, but the case is no longer worse than before.
Next step
retry-with-alternate-action
Why rollback is correct
Rollback is correct because the repair damaged the target layer more than it improved it.
The local repair goal was grounding improvement, but the real outcome was harmful over-pruning.
Main teaching point
A grounding repair should be rolled back if it creates a cleaner-looking but less truthful evidence set.
Example 2 · F4 Tiny Rollback Example
Example ID
TRE_F4_001
Family
F4 · Execution and Contract Integrity
Failed or harmful repair action
F4_GT_001
Insert readiness gate
Rollback target
F4_GT_001
Rollback reason
The new readiness gate blocked the original premature execution, but it also blocked a valid downstream path that should have remained available.
The repair improved closure locally, but overshot the intended scope.
Restore point
previous workflow gate configuration
Post-rollback state
The over-restrictive gate is removed and the workflow returns to the earlier configuration.
The system regains the previous valid path, while the closure issue remains available for a narrower future repair.
Next step
revise
Why rollback is correct
Rollback is correct because the inserted gate created stronger collateral damage than the original local gain.
The target problem was premature execution, not total execution shutdown.
Main teaching point
A closure repair should be rolled back if it blocks more than the failure it was meant to stop.
Example 3 · F7 Tiny Rollback Example
Example ID
TRE_F7_001
Family
F7 · Representation and Localization Integrity
Failed or harmful repair action
F7_SC_001
Tighten output schema
Rollback target
F7_SC_001
Rollback reason
The schema tightening produced a valid structure, but semantic task fit degraded enough that the output became less useful.
The shell improved, but the content quality dropped too much.
Restore point
prior schema version
Post-rollback state
The earlier schema shell is restored so the case no longer remains trapped in a structurally valid but semantically degraded state.
The original representation issue is still present, but the system returns to the less harmful baseline.
Next step
re-check family fit
Why rollback is correct
Rollback is correct because the repair improved one visible dimension while worsening a more important functional dimension.
The action oversolved structure at the cost of task fidelity.
Main teaching point
A container repair should be rolled back if structural cleanliness comes at too high a semantic cost.
Example 4 · Limited F5 Tiny Rollback Example
Example ID
TRE_F5_001
Family
F5 · Observability and Diagnosability Integrity
Failed or harmful repair action
F5_LU_001
Add local logging uplift
Rollback target
F5_LU_001
Rollback reason
The additional logging exposed more detail, but it made the workflow noisier without improving actual diagnosability.
The repair increased visibility volume without improving failure-path clarity.
Restore point
pre-observability patch state
Post-rollback state
The added noisy logging layer is removed and the workflow returns to its prior signal level.
The case still needs observability work, but the system is no longer buried under low-value trace noise.
Next step
revise
Why rollback is correct
Rollback is correct because the repair improved information quantity but degraded practical diagnosability.
The problem was not only missing visibility.
It was missing useful visibility.
Main teaching point
An observability repair should be rolled back if it adds noise faster than it adds insight.
6. What these examples teach
Taken together, these tiny rollback examples teach four important lessons.
Lesson 1
Rollback is not an embarrassment branch.
It is a normal part of repair discipline.
Lesson 2
A repair can improve one local feature and still deserve rollback.
Lesson 3
Rollback depends on restore points being clear.
Lesson 4
Rollback keeps the system from getting trapped in a worse local state.
7. Why these examples are useful
These tiny rollback examples are useful for at least four reasons.
A. Validation support
They make rollback logic concrete after validation detects harm.
B. Planner support
They teach the planner what kinds of actions are likely to overshoot.
C. Demo support
They provide simple rollback cases for future repair demos.
D. Future semi-auto support
They create the first tiny evidence base for safe rollback-aware semi-auto behavior.
8. What this pack does not yet include
Tiny Rollback Examples Pack v1 does not yet include:
- large rollback datasets
- benchmark-scale rollback evaluation
- F6-heavy rollback cases
- multi-step repair-chain rollback
- distributed restore behavior
- automated rollback execution code
Those can come later.
This pack is intentionally minimal.
9. Recommended next step
Once this pack exists, the next useful follow-up is one of these:
- create a planner test note that uses both validation and rollback examples
- create one tiny semi-auto repair demo spec using F1 or F4
- create a small validator-and-rollback paired example sheet
The strongest immediate next step is probably:
create a planner test note that shows how the planner, validation, and rollback layers connect on the same small cases
