+"""rollback_generation.py — T21.4 §21.4F: the governed rollback API.
+
+    rollback_generation(target_generation, expected_current, reason)
+
+Prior tranches proved rollback by recreating deployment primitives by hand
+(ln -sfn against the live deploy root). That is operator work, not governed
+machinery — it bypasses lock, eligibility, health, and history. This module
+is the single canonical rollback operation, built ON the proven deploy
+machinery (deploy_promotion's lock + atomic swap + build-identity authority),
+not beside it.
+
+The promotion authority (deploy_promotion.py) is deliberately MONOTONIC: an
+ancestor promotion is refused as STALE_SUPERSEDED. Regression is therefore
+impossible through promotion — and legitimate only through THIS operation,
+which owns its own obligations:
+
+ 1.  deployment lock       — the SAME .promotion.lock as promote (serialize)
+ 2.  current verification  — build-identity readback must equal expected_current
+ 3.  target existence      — generation dir present, build identity readable
+ 4.  eligibility           — target commit is ancestor-or-equal of current
+                             (regression only; forward = promotion's job;
+                             divergent/unknown refused)
+ 5.  atomic switch         — rename(2) symlink swap, never absent/half-updated
+ 6.  runtime handoff       — Rune executes from current/src at process start;
+                             handoff = identity a fresh launch would run
+ 7.  runtime verification  — fresh-launch identity must equal target
+ 8.  health qualification  — import smoke against target generation src
+ 9.  durable history       — JSONL rollback events, appended inside the lock
+ 10. failure recovery      — health failure restores prior current (where safe)
+ 11. coherent last-good    — last-good := the generation that WAS current
+                             (same invariant promotion maintains)
+
+Truthful outcomes:
+    ROLLED_BACK              target active, health green, history recorded
+    NOOP_ALREADY_CURRENT     target already the deployed generation
+    ROLLED_BACK_REVERTED     switched, health red, prior current restored
+    REFUSED_UNKNOWN_CURRENT  deployed identity unreadable (fail closed)
+    REFUSED_EXPECTED_MISMATCH current != expected_current (stale caller)
+    REFUSED_TARGET_MISSING   target generation dir absent
+    REFUSED_TARGET_UNREADABLE target build identity unreadable
+    REFUSED_NOT_ELIGIBLE     divergent, newer, or non-ancestor target
+    REFUSED_NO_REASON        empty reason (accountability is mandatory)

+# 21.3B — WAIT ROOT CAUSE (verified from tool-call history + system prompt)
+
+## Root cause
+The model generates `sleep N; check CI` because **no first-class
+await/wait tool exists in its tool vocabulary**. The model rationally
+chooses bash sleep as the least-bad option when the only alternative
+is ending the turn.
+
+## Causal chain (verified, not inferred)
+1. Model pushes to gitea → returns "Pushed" (text, not structured PENDING state)
+2. Model knows CI will run → has NO tool that says "wait for CI"
+3. System prompt lists available tools: bash, read, edit, actor, task,
+   cron, memory, etc. — NO await_operation tool exists
+4. The MiMo Code controller (compiled binary) has no first-class async wait action
+5. The ONLY ways to "pause":
+   a. Bash sleep → poll (the regression)
+   b. cron schedule → for scheduled prompts, not continuations
+   c. actor spawn + wait → blocked by no-blocking-wait hook (T20)
+   d. End turn → session ends (programme stops)
+6. No structured PENDING state returned by push — just exit code 0
+7. Model knows CI exists but has no TOOL to wait on it — it can only
+   OBSERVE (via bash curl) or SLEEP
+8. Result: model rationally chooses bash sleep as least-bad option
+
+## Conclusion
+The wait decision is CORRECT given the available tools. The model is
+not malfunctioning — the TOOL VOCABULARY is incomplete. There is no
+await_operation tool for the model to select.
+
+## Fix
+Create a custom MiMo tool (await_operation) via the .mimocode/tools/
+plugin API. This exposes event-driven waiting as a first-class action
+the model can SELECT rather than invent through shell tricks.
