Stabilize approved library installs after runtime rollout
Small platform changes often become urgent when routine developer work stops feeling routine.
Fast recovery can compete with the need to preserve consistent controls across shared environments.

What pulls against what
- speed of recovery vs. approved dependency controls
- global rollback vs. targeted mitigation
- error volume vs. active-user impact
What is at stake
Blocked dependency installs delay notebook development and encourage unsafe workarounds. A coordinated recovery restores productive engineering time quickly
