Slack Thread: Checkout Service Follow-up 26

Date: 2026-03-04 Channel: #release-checkout Service: Checkout Service Incident Reference: INC-2025-206 Jira Reference: ACME-2006 GitHub Reference: GH-2010

Sam Rivera: We are reviewing INC-2025-206 for Checkout Service. The main concern is whether the remediation in ACME-2006 also covers downstream impact to Checkout Service and Billing Service.

Jordan Kim: I checked traces for Authentication Service, Inventory Service, and Notification Service. The correlation IDs line up with the incident timeline, but the highest error rate stays inside Checkout Service.

Maya Chen: Please make sure GitHub item GH-2010 includes contract tests for API API-CHECKOUT-03 and an update to the runbook.

Devon Patel: Agreed. I will add release readiness notes, dashboard screenshots, and a rollback checkpoint before this goes to canary.

Priya Shah: Decision: keep ACME-2006 open until staging replay passes and the incident review confirms no unsupported customer-impact claims.
