Published role version or existing employee snapshot?

A marketplace update does not silently replace the guide of an already recruited employee. This separation keeps running work from changing underneath a task.

A concrete choice

After publishing a corrected guide, compare the local employee’s Overview with the new marketplace version before assuming it uses the fix.

Verify the choice

Plan adoption of the new role deliberately and retain useful history and outputs from the existing employee.

Write the reason for your choice into the task brief or setup notes. Then run a small representative task and compare the actual result with the requirement that drove the decision. Keep any unmet requirement visible rather than declaring the whole workflow ready from a single successful step.
