Version lifecycle Diff & simulation

Happy path — process mapDefinition v3 · active since 02 Mar 2026

Configuration draft completed→ Validate (typed schema + guardrails)→ Simulate (representative dataset)→ Review diff vs active version→ Gate: independent approval (SoD — maker ≠ checker)→ Schedule (effective date)→ Activate immutable version→ Monitor (48 h watch window)

States per CFG-03: Draft → Validated → Pending approval → Scheduled → Active → Superseded, with Rejected and Rolled back as controlled exits. History is never mutated — rollback publishes a new version.

Exception paths3 controlled exits

Validate / simulate / review diff→ Finding raised→ Reject for correction — returns to Draft with reviewer notes

Scheduled (not yet effective)→ Owner cancels with reason→ Schedule cancelled — version marked Rejected, active version unchanged

Active version misbehaves in monitor window→ Gate: rollback approval (independent)→ Rollback — new version published from prior known-good; failed version retained, never deleted

Owner & definition (§8.3)

Workflow ID: WF-00 · Configuration publication
Owner: Domain Policy Owner — Vikram Nair (Config Admin)
Definition version: v3 · active · published via WF-00 itself on 02 Mar 2026
Trigger: Configuration draft completed in any policy studio
Preconditions: Typed schema valid · allowed scope declared · no overlapping active version for key/scope/effective period · simulation dataset available
Terminal outcomes: Activated (immutable) · Rejected · Schedule cancelled · Rolled back (new version)
Required evidence: Validation report · simulation results · diff snapshot · approval record with authority snapshot · activation log · rollback lineage

Controls (Table 14, expanded)4 control families

Control	Enforcement	Evidence
Typed schema CFG-01/CFG-02 definitions	Draft cannot enter Validated with type, range or guardrail violations; regulatory floors only tighten	Validation report VR-2026-1188
Segregation of duties Maker-checker	Financial, payroll, compliance, privacy, access and secret changes require an independent approver; self-approval blocked	Approval record + authority snapshot
Effective date Scheduled activation	Activation only at the scheduled effective date; overlapping active versions for the same key/scope are prevented	Schedule entry + activation log
Rollback version No history mutation	Rollback publishes a new version from a prior known-good; the failed version stays reproducible	Version lineage in lifecycle

Exception paths & recovery

Exception	When	Recovery
Reject for correction	Validation finding, failed simulation or reviewer objection	Returns to Draft with mandatory reviewer notes; maker corrects and resubmits — full re-validation runs
Cancel schedule	Owner withdraws a Scheduled version before effective date	Reason code required; active version untouched; draft may be re-scheduled after re-approval
Rollback	Regression detected in the 48 h monitor window	Independent approval → new version from known-good v41; incident INC-2026-0092 linked; failed v42 retained for audit

Timers & escalation (§8.3)

Business calendar: UAE Sun–Thu · Asia/Dubai · public-holiday aware · timers pause outside calendar
Approval warning: Pending approval > 2 business days → reminder to approver + owner
Approval breach: > 4 business days → escalate to Configuration Governance Board; instance flagged in RPT-26
Activation window: Activation job must confirm within 15 min of effective time; miss → page platform on-call
Monitor window: 48 h post-activation anomaly watch via runtime observability; breach opens rollback proposal
Rework limit: 3 reject cycles → mandatory design review with domain owner

Screens involved

Simulate / review diff	Diff & Simulation	Maker + reviewer
Approve / schedule / activate	Version Lifecycle	Independent approver
