[EN-C019-038] Docker/VPS Deployment: Golden Image Grid + Fast Rollback Ledger

- Roll through canary → regional shard → full fleet with health gates.
- Auto-record deployment diff, SLO impact, and rollback command receipts.
Tools Used
cron: scheduled smoke tests and progressive rollout windowsexec: image build, signed release, and host-level health probessessions_spawn: parallel verification agents per environment lanemessage: deployment milestone + rollback notices
