Promotion Plans

Approval establishes permission to propose a change. It does not activate anything.

LifecyclePromotionPlan binds the approval and subject to the exact candidate, desired state, rollback target, project consumers, affected embedding/pipeline/runtime/storage identities, migration class, canary/drain strategy, health gates and abort conditions. Its impact projection lists projects, clients, indexes, retrieval pipelines, runtime deployments, artifacts and scheduler envelope. Approval freezes these fields; changed intent requires a new plan.

The supported classes are transparent, behavioral, requires_reindex and schema_breaking. Behavioral changes require evaluation/canary evidence. requires_reindex requires a ready isolated migration and shadow/dual-read/evaluation-only route; M12 records but does not automatically execute the cutover. Schema-breaking plans require a manual runbook and are likewise not auto-executed.

Execution creates a LifecycleOperation journal and immutable rollback snapshot transactionally. Stages are PREPARING, ACTIVATING, VERIFYING, COMMITTED, ROLLING_BACK, ROLLED_BACK and FAILED. Requester, approver and executor are stored separately. A repeated idempotency key returns the original operation.

For M13 production reindex, the migration plan references this exact approved promotion plan and approval fingerprint. M12 still refuses to execute reindex as a direct deployment swap; the typed migration cutover journal is the only supported execution path.
