Kind: capability

Layer: Correctness Core

Aliases: Autonomous Recovery

Record: architecture:auto-remediation

Severity: contextual

Scope: runtime, service, infrastructure

Canonical: Ontology

The ability to run a guarded, automated response, such as a restart, a reset and replay or a compaction, when an alert or a health signal shows a failure whose fix is known.

Listed in Architecture principles, after Auto-Scaling and before Rollback.
