Returns to golden.

What golden is

Golden is the boot recovery net’s fallback release, always kept stable.

One design rule is worth remembering: a branch build never becomes golden. The reasoning is direct — a broken branch as the fallback gives a broken branch a broken lifeline. So even after provisioning a whole dev board with --ref, golden stays the stable release and only current is the branch.

When to use it

This is the last resort: a board in a state you can no longer account for, returned to a known one.

The gentler options are update rollback and update select.
