Well, if rollbacks (which shouldn’t require affecting the source tree) are a thing then that. Otherwise you’re right and code needs to be reverted and hope it works.

But in the 2nd case, I’d make sure to increase the priority of having known good rollback versions available (and rollbacks performable) and also carefully consider what CI/CD could be added to catch more broken binaries (e.g canary or staging if it’s important enough) and what code review practices could have prevented it.
