Blueprint
Release pipeline blueprint for safe agent rollouts under governance controls.
Designed for
Product, platform, and governance teams releasing AI-assisted features that need a repeatable promotion decision, rapid containment, and a clear public record of material changes.
Operating model
Every release is a versioned bundle of model configuration, prompts, tools, policies, and evaluations. The pipeline promotes only measured bundles through staged traffic, and the rollback controller can return traffic to the last verified bundle without waiting for a new model decision.
Agent updates can introduce silent behavior drift when promotion and evaluation are not codified.
System shape
Control specification
Each control has a defined purpose and an auditable evidence trail so operators can explain what happened, not merely observe an outcome.
Prevents a promoted configuration from changing underneath its evaluation result.
Evidence produced
Signed bundle ID containing prompt, model, tool, policy, schema, and evaluation versions.
Requires non-negotiable safety and contract checks to pass before subjective quality review.
Evidence produced
Test report with fixture coverage, contract failures, policy exceptions, and promotion decision.
Contains drift or reliability regressions without relying on the released agent to diagnose itself.
Evidence produced
Threshold breach, traffic change receipt, affected cohort, and linked incident record.
Boundary contracts
Required contract
A complete release manifest with immutable identifiers and change notes for every behavior-affecting asset.
Failure policy
Reject unversioned artifacts or manifests missing a prior verified baseline.
Required contract
A release bundle, deterministic fixture suite, quality rubric, and cohort configuration.
Failure policy
Hold the candidate when coverage is incomplete, the cohort cannot be isolated, or evaluation results are not reproducible.
Required contract
A signed promote, hold, or rollback decision with the observed measures and release IDs.
Failure policy
Default to hold; automatically route a threshold breach to rollback and open an owner-assigned incident.
Delivery sequence
01 · Establish the baseline
02 · Automate the decision path
03 · Operate staged releases
Verification model
Target ·Every release can be reconstructed from one immutable bundle and an approved baseline reference.
Response ·Reject promotion when any model, prompt, policy, tool, or schema version is absent.
Target ·The candidate preserves mandatory policy, schema, and tool-call contracts for the canary cohort.
Response ·Hold at the current cohort and open a targeted defect when parity drops below threshold.
Target ·Traffic returns to the last verified bundle inside the documented containment objective.
Response ·Treat a missed rollback objective as an incident and suspend further expansion until remediated.
