# Inventory retained and reverted state after a rollback

Illustrative planning brief; no automatic product import.

Synthetic planning case: A synthetic external release has three state components: code version, config mode and a pending message. A rollback restores code v1 but leaves config new and the pending new-format message untouched. The stated recovery target is code v1, config old and no pending message.

## Decision

The rollback matches only the code component of the declared target. Config and pending-message state need separate approved recovery decisions; do not label the whole system restored.

## Owned work

- Declare the recovery vector
  - Owner role: Release owner
  - Acceptance evidence: All three target components and their evidence are explicit.
- Inspect each current component
  - Owner role: Reviewer
  - Acceptance evidence: Config and pending message are checked independently of code version.
- Choose approved remaining actions
  - Owner role: Operating owner
  - Acceptance evidence: Compatible config and message handling have their own review; uncertain effects remain unresolved.

## Workflow

1. Declare the recovery vector. Check: All three target components and their evidence are explicit.
2. Inspect each current component. Check: Config and pending message are checked independently of code version.
3. Choose approved remaining actions. Check: Compatible config and message handling have their own review; uncertain effects remain unresolved.

## Judgment

The invented inventory is a planning review, not an executable rollback runbook or assurance of a safe operational change.


## Filled manual planning note

The rollback matches only the code component of the declared target. Config and pending-message state need separate approved recovery decisions; do not label the whole system restored. The target vector is (v1,old,none), while the observed vector is (v1,new,pending). One component matches and two differ. This comparison does not authorize deletion or imply a safe compensation procedure. The invented inventory is a planning review, not an executable rollback runbook or assurance of a safe operational change.


## Working artifact

- Code target / v1 restored / Retain matched evidence
- Config target / Old required; new remains / Separate recovery decision
- Message target / None required; pending remains / Review handling before claiming restoration


## Workflow questions

### Should we delete the message immediately?

Not from this worksheet. Its required handling, delivery history and authority need an actual operational decision.

### Can rollback still have useful partial success?

Yes. Record the code restoration precisely without extending it to unmatched state components.

## Product connection

Use the owned checks and downloaded brief to discuss this planning decision alongside your TeamBoostAI tasks. Confirm available fields, roles and account features separately. The example is manual; it does not calculate live analytics, create work or run an experiment in the product.

Confirm account availability before adopting this manual outline.

## Original worked case

Synthetic records, manual planning only. No account import or live analytics.

### Inspect the invented case records

State component | Declared recovery target | After code rollback | Match
--- | --- | --- | ---
Code version | v1 | v1 | Yes
Config mode | Old | New | No
Pending message | None | New-format message remains | No

### Reasoning

The target vector is (v1,old,none), while the observed vector is (v1,new,pending). One component matches and two differ. This comparison does not authorize deletion or imply a safe compensation procedure.

### Bounded result

The rollback matches only the code component of the declared target. Config and pending-message state need separate approved recovery decisions; do not label the whole system restored.

### Distinct decision

The artifact checks a multi-component recovery target after a partial rollback rather than assuming code version represents all state.

### Limits

The invented inventory is a planning review, not an executable rollback runbook or assurance of a safe operational change.
