Your question is Workaround vs Systemic Fix. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).

What is the difference between implementing a quick workaround to restore service and deploying a long-term systemic fix, and how would you decide between them?
