Incident Lifecycle

The default lifecycle used to move incidents from detection to review.

IncidentFlow models incidents as a sequence of states that preserve context from detection through resolution.

Default States

  • Detected: a signal or group of signals indicates a possible problem.
  • Investigating: responders or AI clients are collecting evidence.
  • Mitigating: the team is applying a fix, rollback, or workaround.
  • Resolved: customer impact has ended.
  • Reviewed: useful learnings are saved into workspace memory.

Lifecycle Context

Lifecycle transitions should preserve the related signals, deployments, service impact, timeline notes, and follow-up actions that explain why the state changed.
