This pull request changes code owned by the Governance team. Therefore, make sure that
you have considered the following (for Governance-owned code):
-
Update
unreleased_changelog.md(if there are behavior changes, even if they are
non-breaking). -
Are there BREAKING changes?
-
Is a data migration needed?
-
Security review?
How to Satisfy This Automatic Review
-
Go to the bottom of the pull request page.
-
Look for where it says this bot is requesting changes.
-
Click the three dots to the right.
-
Select "Dismiss review".
-
In the text entry box, respond to each of the numbered items in the previous
section, declare one of the following:
-
Done.
-
$REASON_WHY_NO_NEED. E.g. for
unreleased_changelog.md, "No
canister behavior changes.", or for item 2, "Existing APIs
behave as before.".
Brief Guide to "Externally Visible" Changes
"Externally visible behavior change" is very often due to some NEW canister API.
Changes to EXISTING APIs are more likely to be "breaking".
If these changes are breaking, make sure that clients know how to migrate, how to
maintain their continuity of operations.
If your changes are behind a feature flag, then, do NOT add entrie(s) to
unreleased_changelog.md in this PR! But rather, add entrie(s) later, in the PR
that enables these changes in production.

GOVERNANCE_CHECKLIST_REMINDER_DEDUP
Does what the name says: "loads" a snapshot into a canister. In other words, restores the canister to an earlier state (or possibly the state of another canister!).
For an introduction on canister snapshots, see this.
Past Work
This is analogous to TakeCanisterSnapshot, which was implemented in a series of PRs:
