ops: operational runbooks #42

Description

@jonmatum

Priority: P1
Parent: #34
Promotes: OPS-1 from #28

Context

No runbook exists for the common failure modes. On-call (once wired, see #38) needs a deterministic first response.

Required runbooks (docs/ops/runbooks/)

  • bedrock-throttle.md — symptoms, detection (alarm names), mitigation (back-off, fall back to Haiku), escalation
  • lambda-timeout.md — per-function timeout settings, how to extend safely, how to inspect X-Ray
  • ddb-throttle.md — symptoms, check consumed capacity, escalate to on-demand limits if needed
  • dlq-backlog.md — how to inspect, replay, and drain each DLQ
  • waf-block-spike.md — how to tell attack from false positive, how to temporarily relax rules
  • enrich-stuck.md — symptoms (nodes stuck on "Generating content…"), how to trigger retry, how to rollback
  • agent-runaway.md — how to detect an agent session exceeding MAX_WRITES_PER_SESSION and how to rollback (scripts/rollback-agent.sh)

Each runbook uses the same template: Symptoms → Detection → Immediate Mitigation → Investigation → Long-term Fix → Related alarms / ADRs.

Acceptance criteria

  • All 7 runbooks committed
  • Linked from docs/ops/README.md and from each corresponding CloudWatch alarm description (where feasible)
