## Part 4: Rollback Plan

### When to Rollback: Critical Issue Criteria
Initiate rollback if ANY of the following occur within 24 hours of deployment:

1. **Code Failure**: Any gate fails or execution crashes
2. **Data Loss**: Any user data becomes inaccessible
3. **Security Breach**: Unauthorized access or privilege escalation detected
4. **Performance Degradation**: >50% slower execution than baseline
5. **Compatibility Issue**: Incompatibility with Windows versions or required libraries
6. **Test Failure**: Diagnostics report >20% failure rate
7. **Unplanned Error**: Unhandled exceptions or critical errors in Event Viewer

### Rollback Procedure (5 minutes)

```powershell
# Step 1: Stop any running processes
Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.ProcessName -match "MiracleBoot|WinRepair" } | Stop-Process -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

# Step 2: Restore from backup
$backupPath = "C:\Backups\MiracleBoot_v7.1_backup_*" | Sort-Object -Descending | Select-Object -First 1
$prodDir = "C:\MiracleBoot"

# Remove v7.2 deployment
Remove-Item "$prodDir\RUN_ALL_TESTS.ps1" -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Remove-Item "$prodDir\QA_ENHANCED_DIAGNOSTICS.ps1" -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Remove-Item "$prodDir\DOCUMENTATION\ENHANCEMENT_LOG.md" -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Remove-Item "$prodDir\DOCUMENTATION\IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY_v7.2_Q1_2026.md" -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Remove-Item "$prodDir\DOCUMENTATION\DEPLOYMENT_CHECKLIST_v7.2.md" -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

# Restore backup
Copy-Item -Path $backupPath -Destination $prodDir -Recurse -Force -Exclude "DOCUMENTATION\ENHANCEMENT_LOG.md"

# Step 3: Verify rollback
cd $prodDir
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File ".\RUN_ALL_TESTS.ps1"

Write-Host "Rollback completed successfully"
Write-Host "Previous version v7.1 restored"
```

**Verification**:
- [ ] Previous version processes stopped
- [ ] v7.2 files removed
