## Core acceptance

- p95 warm path latency ≤ **300 ms**, cold path ≤ **1200 ms** under nominal load
- First-byte time on streaming APIs ≤ **500 ms** when warm
- Availability ≥ **99.9%**, SLO tracked per route with error budget alerts
- Concurrency never exceeds configured caps; retries use **jittered backoff**
- Secrets rotated within policy; **zero PII** in logs and vector payloads
- RAG routes hold ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ **0.45** and coverage ≥ **0.70** after infra changes

## Fix in 60 seconds

1) **Measure reality**  
   Capture warm vs cold p95, TTFB for streaming, throttles, and for RAG routes log ΔS and coverage.

2) **Fence the edges**  
   Normalize cache keys, attach purge hooks, restrict egress, redact payloads, enforce idempotency, and use jittered backoff.

3) **Lock boot order**  
   Env and secrets first, then schema and indexes, then retrievers/rerankers, then app routes.

4) **Prove recovery**  
   One canary, one blue-green, one failover drill with restore. Keep artifacts.

## Copy-paste prompt for cloud incidents

```txt
You have TXT OS and the WFGY Problem Map loaded.

My serverless incident:
- route: [api path]
- env: [prod|staging|preview]
- metrics: { p95_warm_ms, p95_cold_ms, ttfb_ms, throttles, 5xx_rate }
- cache: { key_schema, ttl, purge_events }
- egress: { domains, retries, dlp_rules }
- RAG: { ΔS, coverage, λ states across 3 paraphrases }

Tell me:
1) failing layer and why,
2) the exact WFGY pages to open,
3) the minimal steps to restore SLO today,
4) a small regression suite to keep it fixed.
Return a short, auditable plan.

## FAQ

**Q1. Why does streaming feel slow even when average latency looks fine?**
Small proxy buffers or short read timeouts choke chunked responses. Fix with [timeouts\_streaming\_body\_limits.md](./timeouts_streaming_body_limits.md). Track TTFB and chunk cadence, not just average latency.

**Q2. What is the fastest way to reduce cold starts?**
Cap concurrency, pre-warm critical routes, and keep dependencies slim. If the provider supports provisioned or minimum instances, enable them for RAG endpoints. See [cold\_start\_concurrency.md](./cold_start_concurrency.md).

**Q3. My retries create duplicate work and extra bills. How do I stop that?**
Use **idempotency keys** with a KV fence and jittered backoff. Reject replays within the window. Patterns in [stateless\_kv\_queue\_patterns.md](./stateless_kv_queue_patterns.md).

**Q4. Preview works, prod fails after a schema change. Why?**
You deployed app routes before index or schema were ready. Fix your boot order and add deployment checks. See [env\_bootstrap\_and\_migrations.md](./env_bootstrap_and_migrations.md) and [serverless\_ci\_cd.md](./serverless_ci_cd.md).

**Q5. We did a canary, metrics looked noisy, then users complained.**
Your split wasn’t even or your metrics were not route-scoped. Follow [canary\_release\_serverless.md](./canary_release_serverless.md) and attach a per-route SLO in [observability\_slo.md](./observability_slo.md).

**Q6. RAG started hallucinating after an infra tweak. Is that a coincidence?**
Likely not. Cache keys or analyzer versions changed, so snippets drift. Verify ΔS and coverage before and after. See [retrieval-traceability.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md) and [data-contracts.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md).

**Q7. How do I stop webhook storms and data exfiltration at the edge?**
Enforce an egress allowlist, cap retries with backoff, and validate payload schemas. See [egress\_rules\_and\_webhooks.md](./egress_rules_and_webhooks.md) and [privacy\_and\_pii\_edges.md](./privacy_and_pii_edges.md).

**Q8. We cache aggressively but get “wrong user’s data” bugs.**
Your key doesn’t include the right tenants or roles. Normalize keys and purge on writes. See [edge\_cache\_invalidation.md](./edge_cache_invalidation.md).

**Q9. Multi-region is enabled, yet performance is random.**
Check sticky sessions, unsynced caches, and DNS TTL. Pin read/write paths and align cache invalidation. See [multi\_region\_routing.md](./multi_region_routing.md).

**Q10. Secrets rotation broke production. What did we miss?**
Rotate with overlap windows and staged rollout. Validate before flipping traffic. See [secrets\_rotation.md](./secrets_rotation.md).

**Q11. Our DR plan exists, but teams still panic.**
You never ran a realistic drill. Run the full table-top and restore from backups with manifests. See [disaster\_recovery\_tabletop.md](./disaster_recovery_tabletop.md) and [data\_retention\_and\_backups.md](./data_retention_and_backups.md).

**Q12. Which SLOs should I start with for LLM endpoints?**
Route-level p95 latency (warm and cold), TTFB for streaming, throttle rate, and for RAG add **ΔS** and **coverage**. Templates in [observability\_slo.md](./observability_slo.md).
