Core Features & Use Cases

  • Transitions an incident file from .investigating.md to .mitigating.md on the first mitigation and updates the Status field accordingly.
  • Appends each mitigation attempt to the Mitigation attempts timeline with precise UTC timestamps.
  • Maintains a chronological Timeline log and a comprehensive audit trail for governance reviews.
  • Enables compliant workflows under ADR-011 by requiring evidence-backed hypotheses for the first mitigation and recording outcomes for post-incident analysis.
