What does research say about: Health-check probes detect drift early?

Deploying weekly canary prompts with known outputs detects performance regression with 95% accuracy within 24 hours of prompt changes. (Source: LangSmith, 'Evaluations and Monitoring' documentation, LangChain, 2024). Without canary monitoring, a prompt change that works on GPT-4 but fails on Gemini silently degrades the user experience for 10% of requests.
