-
-**Stage 3 Issues** (none critical):

+## Rollback Scenario (If Issue Found)
+
+**Example**: Error rate spike to 5% at 12:00 UTC during Stage 2
+
+```
+Time: 12:00 UTC
+  Alert: Error rate >5% triggered
+  Decision: ROLLBACK to v2.5.3
+  
+Rollback execution (< 5 minutes):
+  1. Load balancer: Revert 100% traffic back to v2.5.3
+  2. Verify: Error rate drops to <0.1%
+  3. Verify: All requests processing normally
+  4. Notify: Stakeholders of rollback
+  5. Investigation: Root cause analysis
+  6. Fix: Implement correction
+  7. Retry: After fix verified in dev/staging
