The kill switch you never test is already broken. Teams build the mechanism, verify it once in a staging demo, and never touch it again. Then the real incident hits and the on-call engineer discovers the button revokes the wrong token scope, or the cooperative interrupt never fires because that code path changed three deploys ago.
