From the author

Enhancement overlay — version the WHOLE deployable LLM-app artifact as one bundle: prompts + compiled programs + model snapshot pins + retrieval config + eval-set version, versioned together so a deploy is reproducible and rollback is atomic. Activate when preparing to deploy an LLM app, when asking "what exactly is running in prod right now?", when a deploy must be reproducible months later, or when an incident needs a clean rollback. The core reframe: an LLM app artifact is NOT an ML model — it is a manifest over many independently-mutable parts, not one weights file. Do NOT activate for one-off prompt edits with no deploy, for a single-component demo, or where a vendor owns the whole prompt lifecycle. For versioning ONE compiled prompt use [[agentsop-per-model-artifacts]]; for the CI comparison mechanism use [[agentsop-regression-gate]]. Search keywords: prompt versioning, reproducible deploy, what is running in prod, rollback LLM app, model pinning, prompt registry, version prompts and config.
