  "body": "## Context\n\nDocuments the manual failover sequence for the staging stack while the automated recovery path is still unstable.\n\n### Draft runbook\n1. Put the primary deployment in maintenance mode.\n2. Promote the standby database.\n3. Repoint the app workers.\n4. Warm the cache before reopening traffic.\n\n```bash\n./scripts/failover promote-standby --env staging\n./scripts/failover repoint-workers --env staging\n./scripts/failover verify --env staging\n```\n\n> This pull request was closed because the final DNS validation steps were still changing underneath the runbook.\n\n### Remaining gaps\n- secrets rotation is still manual\n- rollback screenshots are missing\n- [ ] add the final post-cutover checklist"
