Inconsistent config rollout across regions
Your task
A global config change (raising a per-request memory budget for an image-transform edge worker) is rolled out region by region via a config-management pipeline. Three days in, it's applied to 14 of 19 regions. A customer reports that the same image URL returns a correctly-resized image from some POPs and a 500 from others, seemingly at random by geography. Dashboards: error rate is flat globally (the 500s are <0.05%), but per-region error rate shows a clean split, the 5 not-yet-updated regions have a small steady 500 rate on large images; the 14 updated regions are clean. The config pipeline dashboard shows the rollout as 'in progress, no failures.' Triage and mitigate.
