Checkout Errors Rise After Release

Checkout's error rate jumped from about 0.2% to 23% within minutes of the latest configuration release.

Stage 2 of 7 in Friday Deploy Meltdown.

Briefing

The checkout config release reached production twenty minutes ago and the error rate has not come down since.

main and origin/main are at the same release commit, and several engineers and the deploy bot have pulled it this morning.

Sam Rivera, who wrote the change, is on a flight and cannot be asked what it was for.

Someone in the channel has already suggested resetting main to the previous commit and force-pushing.

The fix is yours to find: hints, the recovery checks and the debrief unlock inside the incident.
