Model Update Protocol: Controlled Upgrade Pipeline
Controlled upgrade pipeline from current production version to the next. Evaluation, merge, validation, security review, and approval gates.
ModelUpdateProtocol defines the controlled pipeline for upgrading an enterprise model from the current production version to the next. This page specifies the full flowchart, approval gates, required roles, and the criteria for promotion or archival.
ModelUpdateProtocol is initiated by DeploymentManager and tracked in ExperimentTracker. It reads candidates from ModelRegistry and writes new enterprise versions back to the same registry with updated lineage.
