Should you really be detailing the functionality of internal tools like this?

Most of this is public (see the Slicer paper for dynamic sharding) or implemented in some other form by Envoy and other tools (dark launches, traffic visualization) or not that complicated (Kubernetes has manual rollbacks already and automating them is a natural extension). None of those are Spanner territory. Even LOAS is getting discussed and open sourced.
None of this is particularly secret. Any intern who worked at Google would have access to all this info.

interns still sign NDAs.
