A critical security patch has just been developed to address a significant vulnerability in your product. Usually, your team conducts thorough regression testing on updates to ensure they do not introduce new bugs or issues. However, due to pressures to meet tight deployment deadlines, your manager instructs you to skip the regression testing phase and proceed directly to shipping the updated product to customers.

Considering the potential risks to product integrity and customer trust, how should you respond to your manager’s request to skip regression testing for the security patch?
