The sync could update an LRP with stale SSH route data from a previous version when the process version changed between the initial scan and the batch execution. As a result, the LRP has a different RSA key pair for the diego-sshd daemon and the diego-ssh route. "cf ssh" is broken until the app is manually restarted. Fix: Before executing desire/update, verify the process version still matches what was recorded during the initial scan. Skip if mismatched - the next sync cycle will handle it correctly.

A short explanation of the proposed change:
The ProcessSync job could update an LRP with stale SSH route data from a previous version when the process version changed between the initial scan and the batch execution. As a result, the LRP has a different RSA key pair for the diego-sshd daemon and the diego-ssh route. "cf ssh" is broken until the app is manually restarted.
Fix: Before executing desire/update, verify the process version still matches what was recorded during the initial scan. Skip if mismatched - the next sync cycle will handle it correctly.
