Scenario for fluent-rollback

Situation: You deployed a new workflow version and it's causing event failures. You need to revert to the previous version.Prompt:
`Roll back ORDER::HD to the previous version`
`/fluent-rollback` follows a structured process:

Planning Gate

Presents a rollback plan showing:

Current deployed version vs target version
Source of the rollback artifact (pre-deploy backup, local cache, or git history)
What will change and what won't
Irreversible operations that can't be rolled back (already-processed events, sent webhooks)

Dry Run (Recommended for Production)

`Roll back ORDER::HD --dry-run`

Shows exactly what would happen without making changes.

Execute

After plan approval, uploads the previous workflow version as a new version.Three artifact types supported:

Artifact	Rollback method	Source resolution
Workflow	Re-upload previous JSON as new version	Pre-deploy backup → local cache → git history
Module	Redeploy prior module ZIP	Local distribution → git tag → artifact repository
Settings	Restore prior values via GraphQL	Session export → settings audit → pre-deploy report

Cannot Roll Back:

The skill refuses these and suggests compensating alternatives.

Entity state changes
Sent events
Batch ingestion data
Webhook deliveries
