During this time, Actions workflow runs and job status updates were delayed by up to 25 minutes. Pages deployments dropped to about 4% of normal volume, webhook deliveries dropped to about 58% of normal volume, and Code Scanning analyses and Copilot coding agent sessions were delayed. Delayed events were processed after mitigation. This incident was caused by a configuration change to an internal event-routing service that unexpectedly paused delivery of several event streams. The change depended on feature flags that were not set up as intended, which the service did not handle gracefully. We mitigated the first period by rolling back the configuration change at 16:14 UTC. The code change itself was not reverted by the rollback, so a subsequent deployment reintroduced it.

Archive proof

Rewindex commits each version of an incident it captures to a daily checkpoint, chains it to the day before, and has the checkpoint timestamped by FreeTSA and DigiCert. That proves this record existed by then and has not been changed since, by anyone, Rewindex included.

How the archive is checked, and what it cannot prove.

Rewindex captured a newer version after the last checkpoint; the next run () commits it.
