# Scenario: Simulate Failure and Patch

## Description

Validate that a service-level failure can be detected, recovered, and followed by a controlled patch workflow. This mirrors a maintenance window where a degraded node is stabilized before package updates are applied.

## Commands

```bash
cd enterprise-infra-simulator
./scripts/simulate_failure.sh service 30 web
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts.ini playbooks/patch.yml
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts.ini playbooks/hardening.yml --check
```

## Expected Result

- The simulation records a temporary service failure.
- The service is restored after cleanup.
- The patch playbook completes without unreachable hosts.
- Hardening check mode reports no destructive changes.
