HivePlane v0.2.0 promotion gate fails, nearly shipping critical regression

The author details a critical regression that was nearly shipped with HivePlane v0.2.0, despite a promotion gate designed to prevent such occurrences. This gate, intended to ensure safety, failed by admitting a workload flagged by its own regression report. The article outlines four ways the gate admitted incorrect evidence, including pass-rate thresholds being insufficient, unreachable survival gates, and baseline drift issues. The author emphasizes that a signature on a known-bad artifact is worse than no signature, and that regression reports must block, not merely annotate, to ensure true safety. AI

IMPACT Highlights the importance of robust automated gates in software development to prevent critical errors from reaching production.
