SYSE.41:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

MisuseRepair
Treat artifact promotion as deployment completion.Prepare and install the runtime, then observe and test the actual result.
Report requested configuration as effective configuration.Query what the running process actually uses.
Restart the whole deployment after a timeout.Recover partial effects and repeat only qualified steps.
Roll back binaries after incompatible data changes.Obtain the real data recovery/forward-repair result before relying on return.
