Hotfix Deploy Blocked

The stabilization hotfix is staged, but deploy.service cannot be restarted to ship it.

Stage 4 of 5 in Linux Outage Ladder.

Briefing

Every attempt.

The fastest-looking option in the channel is to add deploy to the sudo group until morning.

Inspired by a real outage: Sudoers cleanup removes a scoped service rule (FixOps composite of public postmortem patterns). Names and details are fictionalized.

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