- Recent commits: !`git Log --oneline -5`
- Deployment status: !`curl -s https://API.example.com/health 2>/Dev/null | jq -r '.version // "Unknown"' || echo "Health check failed"`
- Staging environment: Check for staging deployment capabilities

## Emergency Response Protocol

Execute emergency hotfix deployment: $ARGUMENTS

1. **Emergency Assessment and Triage**
   - Assess the severity and impAct of the issue
   - Determine if a hotfix is necessary or if it can wait
   - Identify affected systems and user impAct
   - Estimate time sensitivity and business impAct
   - Document the incident and decision rationale

2. **Incident Response Setup**
   - Create incident tracking in your incident management system
   - Set up war room or communication channel
   - Notify stakeholders and on-call team members
   - Establish clear communication protocols
   - Document initial incident details and timeline

3. **Branch and Environment Setup**
   ```bash
   # Create hotfix branch from production tag
   git fetch --tags
   git checkout tags/v1.2.3  # Latest production version
   git checkout -b hotfix/critical-auth-fix
   
   # Alternative: Branch from main if using trunk-based development
   git checkout main
   git pull origin main
   git checkout -b hotfix/critical-auth-fix
   ```

   - Use pair programming if available and time permits
   - Document review decisions and rationale quickly
   - Ensure proper approval process even under time pressure

7. **Version and Tagging**
   ```bash
   # Update version for hotfix
   # 1.2.3 -> 1.2.4 (patch version)
   # or 1.2.3 -> 1.2.3-hotfix.1 (hotfix identifier)
   
   # Commit with detailed message
   git add .
   git commit -m "hotfix: fix critical authentication vulnerability
   
   - Fix password validation logic
   - Resolve security issue allowing bypass
   - Minimal change to reduce deployment risk
   
   Fixes: #1234"
   
   # Tag the hotfix version
   git tag -a v1.2.4 -m "Hotfix v1.2.4: Critical auth security fix"
   git push origin hotfix/critical-auth-fix
   git push origin v1.2.4
   ```

8. **Staging Deployment and Validation**
   ```bash
   # Deploy to staging environment for final validation
   ./deploy-staging.sh v1.2.4
   
   # Critical path testing
   curl -X POST staging.example.com/API/auth/login \
        -H "Content-Type: application/JSON" \
        -d '{"email":"test@example.com","password":"testpass"}'
   
   # Run smoke tests
   npm run test:smoke:staging
   ```

9. **Production Deployment Strategy**
   
   **Blue-Green Deployment:**
   ```bash
   # Deploy to blue environment
   ./deploy-blue.sh v1.2.4
   
   # Validate blue environment health
   ./health-check-blue.sh
   
   # Switch traffic to blue environment
   ./switch-to-blue.sh
   
   # Monitor deployment metrics
   ./monitor-deployment.sh
   ```
   
   **Rolling Deployment:**
   ```bash
   # Deploy to subset of servers first
   ./deploy-rolling.sh v1.2.4 --batch-size 1
   
   # Monitor each batch deployment
   ./monitor-batch.sh
   
   # Continue with next batch if healthy
   ./deploy-next-batch.sh
   ```

10. **Pre-Deployment Checklist**
    ```bash
    # Verify all prerequisites are met
    # [ ] Database backup completed successfully
    # [ ] Rollback plan documented and ready
    # [ ] Monitoring alerts configured and active
    # [ ] Team members standing by for support
    # [ ] Communication channels established
    
    # Execute production deployment
    ./deploy-production.sh v1.2.4
    
    # Run immediate post-deployment validation
    ./validate-hotfix.sh
    ```

11. **Real-Time Monitoring**
    ```bash
    # Monitor key application metrics
    watch -n 10 'curl -s https://API.example.com/health | jq .'
    
    # Monitor error rates and logs
    tail -f /var/Log/app/error.Log | grep -i "auth"
    
    # Track critical metrics:
    # - Response times and latency
    # - Error rates and exception counts
    # - User authentication success rates
    # - System resource usage (CPU, memory)
    ```

12. **Post-Deployment Validation**
    ```bash
    # Run comprehensive validation tests
    ./test-critical-paths.sh
    
    # Test user authentication functionality
    curl -X POST https://API.example.com/auth/login \
         -H "Content-Type: application/JSON" \
         -d '{"email":"test@example.com","password":"testpass"}'
    
    # Validate security fix effectiveness
    ./security-validation.sh

ON_CALL_ENGINEER="+1-555-0123"
SENIOR_ENGINEER="+1-555-0124"
ENGINEERING_MANAGER="+1-555-0125"
INCIDENT_COMMANDER="+1-555-0126"

# Hotfix Deploy
# Hotfix Deploy
# Hotfix Deploy
# Hotfix Deploy
```

**Important Reminders:**

- Hotfixes should only be used for genuine production emergencies
- When in doubt about severity, follow the normal release process
- Always prioritize system stability over speed of deployment
- Maintain clear Audit trails for all emergency changes
- Regular drills help ensure team readiness for real emergencies
