simplify neuron self-improve loop to blue/green + stage

Replace the aspirational alpha/beta/gamma model with the actual
deployment topology: prod runs blue/green in neuron-prod namespace,
stage is the single experiment slot in neuron-stage namespace.

The old script referenced neuron-alpha/beta/gamma deployments that
never existed. The new script uses blue-green-deploy.sh for prod
promotion and kubectl set image for stage experiments.

Loop: snapshot → deploy stage → evaluate → promote via blue/green.

# neuron-self-improve.sh — self-improvement loop for Neuron
#
# Manages code experiments across alpha/beta/gamma zones and promotes winners to prod.
# All cluster changes go through git → Argo CD. No direct kubectl mutations.
# Model: stage is the experiment slot. prod runs blue/green.
# Promote flow: implement → CI → stage → verify → blue-green-deploy → prod.
#
# Usage:
# ./neuron-self-improve.sh snapshot <slot> # copy prod DB to slot
# ./neuron-self-improve.sh deploy <slot> <sha> # point slot at a specific image
# ./neuron-self-improve.sh promote <slot> # copy slot's image to prod
# ./neuron-self-improve.sh status # show what's running in each zone
# ./neuron-self-improve.sh rollback <slot> <sha> # revert slot to a previous image
# ./neuron-self-improve.sh snapshot # copy prod DB to stage
# ./neuron-self-improve.sh deploy <sha> # point stage at a specific image
# ./neuron-self-improve.sh promote <tag> # blue/green flip prod to <tag>
# ./neuron-self-improve.sh status # show active blue/green slot + stage
# ./neuron-self-improve.sh rollback <tag> # roll prod back to <tag> via blue/green

NEURON SELF-IMPROVEMENT LOOP
=============================
Deployment model: stage (experiment) → prod (blue/green).
Each iteration:
1. IDENTIFY — find an improvement opportunity in the codebase.
Sources: Neuron backlog, observed failures, performance gaps, code review.
1. IDENTIFY — find an improvement opportunity.
Sources: Neuron backlog, observed failures, graph reliability gaps,
session startup issues, performance, quality observations.
2. IMPLEMENT — make the change on a git branch in neural-platform/neuron.
Commit message should describe the hypothesis being tested.
2. IMPLEMENT — make the change on a git branch in neuron-technologies/neuron.
Commit message describes the hypothesis.
3. CI — push the branch; CI runs lint/test/build and auto-deploys to alpha.
Wait for CI to complete and alpha pod to be healthy.
3. CI — push to main; CI builds image and publishes to registry.
Image tag = git SHA (short). Wait for CI to complete.
4. SNAPSHOT — before the next experiment touches a slot, snapshot prod DB:
./scripts/neuron-self-improve.sh snapshot <slot>
This ensures the experiment runs against real data without touching prod.
4. SNAPSHOT — before running the experiment, copy prod DB to stage:
./scripts/neuron-self-improve.sh snapshot
This gives stage a real-data copy without touching prod.
5. EXPERIMENT — run the experiment against the alpha endpoint:
https://neuron-alpha.neuralplatform.ai
Use real workloads. Compare against prod or other slots.
Multiple experiments can run simultaneously across alpha/beta/gamma.
5. DEPLOY TO STAGE — point stage at the new image:
./scripts/neuron-self-improve.sh deploy <sha>
Stage runs against the snapshot DB. Experiment freely.
6. EVALUATE — compare results. Criteria:
- Does it behave correctly?
- Does it perform better (latency, quality, fewer errors)?
- Does it handle edge cases prod handles?
Schema changes are acceptable — they become migrations against prod on promote.
6. EVALUATE — test the stage endpoint. Criteria:
- Correct behavior on same inputs?
- At least one dimension improved (latency, quality, error rate)?
- No regressions on cases prod handles?
- Schema changes are additive/non-destructive?
7. PROMOTE WINNER — if alpha wins:
./scripts/neuron-self-improve.sh promote alpha
This updates prod's image SHA in git → Argo CD deploys → prod is updated.
The old prod SHA is still in the registry — rollback is always available.
7. PROMOTE — if stage passes, promote to prod via blue/green:
./scripts/neuron-self-improve.sh promote <tag>
The blue-green-deploy.sh handles: scale idle slot → health check →
flip service selector → scale old slot to 0.
The old slot is kept at 0 for instant rollback.
8. ROLLBACK — if something goes wrong:
./scripts/neuron-self-improve.sh rollback prod <previous-sha>
8. ROLLBACK — if something goes wrong post-promote:
./scripts/neuron-self-improve.sh rollback <previous-tag>
Blue/green means rollback is always a slot flip — no redeployment.
9. LOOP — go to step 1. Alpha is now free for the next experiment.
9. LOOP — go to step 1. Stage is free for the next experiment.
RULES
------
- Never skip the snapshot step before running an experiment against a slot.
- Prod data is never lost — slots only get copies.
- Schema changes in experiment code → Alembic auto-migrates the snapshot DB.
On promote, the migration runs against prod. Always verify migrations are
additive/non-destructive before promoting.
- All three experiment zones can run simultaneously with different hypotheses.
- The registry retains every SHA — any version can be deployed to any slot.
- This script handles git push; Argo CD handles k8s — never kubectl apply.
- Always snapshot before deploying to stage (stage DB starts from prod).
- Prod is never touched during the experiment — only on promote.
- Schema changes: test Alembic migration on stage snapshot first.
On promote, the same migration runs against prod. Must be additive.
- The registry retains every SHA — any version is deployable to any slot.
- blue-green-deploy.sh handles the infra flip. This script orchestrates.
- Never kubectl apply directly — all changes via git + Argo CD.
Exception: blue-green-deploy.sh uses kubectl for the slot flip because
that is a runtime operation, not a config change.
