Repair Damage

Implement regenerative recovery for systems that have sustained structural damage — whether from incidents, failed migrations, accumulated neglect, or external disruption. Uses biological wound-healing as a framework: triage, stabilization, scaffolding, progressive rebuild, and scar tissue management.

When to Use

• A system has suffered an incident and needs structured recovery beyond "just fix it"
• A failed transformation (see adapt-architecture) left the system in a damaged intermediate state
• Accumulated technical debt has caused partial system failure
• Organizational damage (team departures, knowledge loss, morale collapse) needs structured repair
• Post-defense recovery (see defend-colony) when the colony sustained damage
• A system is functional but degraded, and the degradation is worsening
