rollback orchestrators now simulate dependent tool failures

Recovery pipelines are simulating partial tool outages and dependency failures to validate rollback behavior under realistic pressure conditions (SRE workbook).

engineering pattern

Rollback tests now include chained failure trees, delayed acknowledgements, and stale dependency responses.

reliability signal

• Recovery confidence improves before release.
• Hidden dependency assumptions are surfaced earlier.
• Simulation fidelity becomes critical for actionable results.

my take

Rollback quality improves fastest when orchestrators test messy dependencies, not clean lab paths.
