An OPA bundle verifies and stale deny rules persist because the sidecar keeps the last good policy set while the new bundle uses a removed package path

The new bundle loads partially, but the runtime falls back to the last good ruleset for missing packages.

Scenario

A policy refactor appears deployed while one deny rule from the old package path still fires in production.

What to check first
  • Identify the primary failure signal in the The New Policy Arrived and the Sidecar Quietly Kept the Last Rulebook for the Parts It Could Not Find scenario.
  • Separate visible symptoms from the underlying technical dependency.
  • Describe the safest recovery path and the follow-up prevention work.
Checking checklist
  1. Summarize the current impact and the last known change.
  2. Collect direct evidence from logs, runtime state, and configuration before changing anything.
  3. Separate immediate recovery from permanent prevention work.
Recovery and prevention

Compare removed package paths and fallback behavior before blaming stale bundle distribution.

Questions worth viewing together
Should I translate commands, logs, or product names?

No. Keep commands, logs, file names, APIs, and product names unchanged, then explain the reasoning in the selected UI language.

What should the answer focus on?

State the root cause, the evidence that supports it, and the safest recovery direction.

Why can the scenario remain in the original language?

The source scenario is treated as an incident artifact. Guidance, checklist, hints, and explanations can be localized around it.
