patchable

Able to repair

Patchable describes something that can be repaired or fixed, typically with a patch—a piece of material covering a hole or weak spot.

A patchable tire can be mended rather than replaced.

In computing, patchable software can receive updates that fix bugs or security vulnerabilities: The system remains patchable through the admin console.
