Scope

Write the practical update-flow runbook for routine module updates.

It should describe how an agent updates a module from source/artifact metadata to PR:

  1. find current artifact;
  2. find candidate artifact;
  3. decide risk class;
  4. prepare backup/rollback/smoke packet;
  5. open atomically scoped PR;
  6. use Patchwarden/Vistula labels where appropriate;
  7. avoid runtime mutation until explicit gate.

Spec sources

  • state/roadmap/current-platform-roadmap.md § 09 - Module upgrade waves
  • decisions/0022-* if present
  • W8 issues #501, #505, #506, #507, #508, #534
  • runbooks/ existing style

Acceptance criteria

  • Add or update one runbook only.
  • Include a small checklist suitable for Gemini/agent execution.
  • Include no broad architecture essay.
  • Make clear which module classes are manual-only.
  • No runtime mutation.

Out of scope

  • Implementing an updater.
  • Changing branch protection or automerge policy.

Gemini execution profile

Recommended executor: Gemini 3.5 Flash High, local repo access only.

Constraints:

  • Keep the PR atomic and boring.
  • Do not SSH, mutate runtime, edit secrets, or change live compose behavior.
  • Prefer generated tables/checks over more strategy prose.
  • If the issue is too broad, split once into 2-4 smaller issues and stop.
  • PR body must include Spec sources read.
