# Ops & Deploy — Global Fix Map

A compact hub to **ship safely and keep RAG/LLM systems stable after release**.  
Use this folder to pick the right guardrail, verify with measurable targets, and recover fast when things wobble. No infra change required.

## Open these first
- Visual recovery map → [RAG Architecture & Recovery](../../rag-architecture-and-recovery.md)  
- Retrieval knobs end-to-end → [Retrieval Playbook](../../retrieval-playbook.md)  
- Traceability and snippet schema → [Retrieval Traceability](../../retrieval-traceability.md) · [Data Contracts](../../data-contracts.md)  
- Boot order and deploy traps → [Bootstrap Ordering](../../bootstrap-ordering.md) · [Deployment Deadlock](../../deployment-deadlock.md) · [Pre-Deploy Collapse](../../predeploy-collapse.md)  
- Live ops tools → [Live Monitoring for RAG](../../ops/live_monitoring_rag.md) · [Debug Playbook](../../ops/debug_playbook.md)  

---

## When to use this folder
- First calls after deploy crash or return stale content.  
- ΔS and citations look fine yesterday but flip today.  
- Rate limits cascade, queues spike, latency climbs.  
- Canary looks good then full rollout breaks retrieval.  
- Index swap succeeds but answers cite old snippets.  
- Retries cause duplicate side effects or charges.  
- Feature flags bleed traffic into unfinished paths.  
- Maintenance windows corrupt embeddings or anchors.  

---

## Acceptance targets for a safe rollout
- **ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ 0.45** across three paraphrases.  
- **Coverage ≥ 0.70** on the expected new section.  
- **λ remains convergent** on 2 seeds during rollout.  
- **Idempotency ≥ 99.9%** on retry storms.  
- **Zero silent index mismatches** (hash + counts match).  
- **P95 latency stays in budget** with backpressure active.

## 60-second ship checklist

1. **Freeze the world** → Pin model IDs, prompt revs, index hashes.  
2. **Warm up safely** → Build index off-path, preload caches with canary.  
3. **Shadow then canary** → Mirror prod queries, step rollout 5% → 25% → 100%.  
4. **Guard the edge** → Enable backpressure, retries with jitter, idempotency keys.  
5. **Know your exit** → Keep rollback switch and comms draft ready.

## FAQ

**Q: What does ΔS mean here?**  
A: ΔS is a stability score. It measures how much the retrieved content drifts from the expected anchor when you change the query slightly. Lower is better (≤ 0.45 is safe).  

**Q: What is λ convergence?**  
A: λ tracks whether retrieval order flips unpredictably. If λ is stable across seeds, your rollout is consistent.  

**Q: Why do I need idempotency keys?**  
A: Without them, retries can double-charge a user or run the same side-effect twice. Keys make every request “safe to retry.”  

**Q: How do I know if my index swap worked?**  
A: Check doc counts and hashes before cutover. If they mismatch, you’re pointing at an incomplete index.  

**Q: Canary looked fine but production broke — why?**  
A: Canary often hides tail-latency, cache misses, or load-based rate limits. Always test at increasing % of live traffic.  

**Q: Why do you mention rollback comms?**  
A: Technical rollback is only half. Users and stakeholders need fast updates, so pre-draft Statuspage or Slack messages are essential.
