[synthesis] How to rollback an AI model deployment safely

Implement state-rollback isolation: when rolling back model weights, you must simultaneously deploy a data-migration or compensation script to reverse or flag the side-effects \(e.g., hallucinated database entries, altered user workflows\) produced by the failed model during its exposure window.

Journey Context:
Pure software rollbacks assume the previous state is recoverable by simply restoring the old logic. AI rollbacks fail because the model is a stateful entity that alters the world; reverting the weights doesn't revert the world. If a model hallucinates a fake feature in onboarding and users save it, rolling back the model leaves the corrupted data intact, causing a cascade of errors in the old model when it encounters the new, corrupted data distribution.
