+## Incident Response Methodology
+
+The application integrates a comprehensive incident response framework via system prompt injection. The `INCIDENT_RESPONSE_FRAMEWORK` constant in `src/lib/domainPrompts.ts` is appended to all 17 domain-specific system prompts (Linux, Windows, Network, Kubernetes, Databases, Virtualization, Hardware, Observability, and others).
+
+**5-Phase Framework:**
+
+1. **Detection & Evidence Gathering** — Initial issue assessment, log collection, PII redaction
+2. **Diagnosis & Hypothesis Testing** — AI-assisted analysis, pattern matching against known incidents
+3. **Root Cause Analysis with 5-Whys** — Iterative questioning to identify underlying cause (steps 1–5)
+4. **Resolution & Prevention** — Remediation planning and implementation
+5. **Post-Incident Review** — Timeline-based blameless post-mortem and lessons learned
+
+**System Prompt Injection:**
+
+The `chat_message` command accepts an optional `system_prompt` parameter. If provided, it prepends domain expertise before the conversation history. If omitted, the framework selects the appropriate domain prompt based on the issue category. This allows:
+
+- **Specialized expertise**: Different frameworks for Linux vs. Kubernetes vs. Network incidents
+- **Flexible override**: Users can inject custom system prompts for cross-domain problems
+- **Consistent methodology**: All 17 domain prompts follow the same 5-phase incident response structure
+
+**Timeline Event Recording:**
+
+Timeline events are recorded non-blockingly at key triage moments:
+
+```
+Issue Creation → triage_started
+   ↓
+Log Upload → log_uploaded (metadata: file_name, file_size)
+   ↓
+Why-Level Progression → why_level_advanced (metadata: from_level → to_level)
+   ↓
+Root Cause Identified → root_cause_identified (metadata: root_cause, confidence)
+   ↓
+RCA Generated → rca_generated (metadata: doc_id, section_count)
+   ↓
+Postmortem Generated → postmortem_generated (metadata: doc_id, timeline_events_count)
+   ↓
+Document Exported → document_exported (metadata: format, file_path)
+```
+
+**Document Generation:**
+
+RCA and Postmortem generators now use real timeline event data instead of placeholders:
+
+- **RCA**: Incorporates timeline to show detection-to-root-cause progression
+- **Postmortem**: Uses full timeline to demonstrate the complete incident lifecycle and response effectiveness
+
+Timeline events are stored in the `timeline_events` table (indexed by issue_id and created_at for fast retrieval) and dual-written to `audit_log` for security/compliance purposes.

+
+**Design Notes:**
+- Timeline events are **queryable** (indexed by issue_id and created_at) for document generation
+- Dual-write: Events recorded to both `timeline_events` and `audit_log` — timeline for chronological reporting, audit_log for security/compliance
+- `created_at`: TEXT UTC timestamp (`YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS`)
+- Non-blocking writes: Timeline events recorded asynchronously at key triage moments
+- Cascade delete from issues ensures cleanup

+- **Do NOT propose fixes** until the problem is fully understood
+- Gather: error messages, timestamps, affected systems, scope of impact, recent changes
+- Ask: "What changed? When did it start? Who/what is affected? What has been tried?"
+- Record all evidence with UTC timestamps
+- Establish a clear problem statement before proceeding
+
+### Phase 2: Diagnosis & Hypothesis Testing
+- Apply the scientific method: form hypotheses, test them with evidence
+- **The 3-Fix Rule**: If you cannot confidently identify the root cause after 3 hypotheses, STOP and reassess your assumptions — you may be looking at the wrong system or the wrong layer
+- Check the most common causes first (Occam's Razor): DNS, certificates, disk space, permissions, recent deployments
+- Differentiate between symptoms and causes — treat causes, not symptoms
+- Use binary search to narrow scope: which component, which layer, which change
+
+### Phase 3: Root Cause Analysis with 5-Whys
+- Each "Why" must be backed by evidence, not speculation
+- If you cannot provide evidence for a "Why", state what investigation is needed to confirm
+- Look for systemic issues, not just proximate causes
+- The root cause should explain ALL observed symptoms, not just some
+- Common root cause categories: configuration drift, capacity exhaustion, dependency failure, race condition, human error in process
+
+### Phase 4: Resolution & Prevention
+- **Immediate fix**: What stops the bleeding right now? (rollback, restart, failover)
+- **Permanent fix**: What prevents recurrence? (code fix, config change, automation)
+- **Runbook update**: Document the fix for future oncall engineers
+- Verify the fix resolves ALL symptoms, not just the primary one
+- Monitor for regression after applying the fix
+
+### Phase 5: Post-Incident Review
+- Calculate incident metrics: MTTD (detect), MTTA (acknowledge), MTTR (resolve)
+- Conduct blameless post-mortem focused on systems and processes
+- Identify action items with owners and due dates
+- Categories: monitoring gaps, process improvements, technical debt, training needs
+- Ask: "What would have prevented this? What would have detected it faster? What would have resolved it faster?"
+
+### Communication Practices
+- State your current phase explicitly (e.g., "We are in Phase 2: Diagnosis")
+- Summarize findings at each phase transition
+- Flag assumptions clearly: "ASSUMPTION: ..." vs "CONFIRMED: ..."
+- When advancing the Why level, explicitly state the evidence chain
