Direct answer
Failure Recovery, in this definition, is limited to the following inspected scope. Recovery planning, alternate processing, testing, and known-state restoration. Current replay-safe action and recovery-state ledger. The answer carries the source boundaries forward and does not infer authority from a neighboring topic.
Term boundaries and disambiguation
Use the term only for the source-backed scope stated here; keep adjacent concepts separate unless a typed relationship is explicit.
A useful definition states both inclusion and exclusion conditions so a machine answer cannot silently widen it.
Applied scope: Recovery planning, alternate processing, testing, and known-state restoration. Current replay-safe action and recovery-state ledger.
Definition and operating context
The canonical concept owner is maha-strategies. This route may apply authority; it cannot redefine or inherit the authority of its canonical owner.
This property may publish bounded explanations, operational guides, commercial entry points. It must not publish research-source duplication or unreleased evidence claims.
Evidence and exact locators
Contingency Planning Guide for Federal Information Systems — Sections 3.4–3.6 and 5: recovery strategies, testing, and reconstitution. Establishes: Recovery planning, alternate processing, testing, and known-state restoration.
Governed workflow recovery ledger — RecoveryStatus; RecoveryStore.claim; RecoveryStore.finish; recoveryResponseHeaders. Establishes: Current replay-safe action and recovery-state ledger.
What the evidence does not establish
Federal-system contingency guidance does not prove a specific SaaS recovery time.
A recorded state is not independent confirmation of the upstream side effect.
This route must not claim research-source duplication.
This route must not claim unreleased evidence claims.

Which canonical definition must be read first?
