Why declaredmergeDeterministic
Incident dedup / merge keys (entity, episode, network, region+title)v1
Checked in order against open same-domain incidents (never an aggregate-titled bucket): (1) ENTITY key, region-independent, incident active <14d (updated_at): shared CVE id, OR (cyber) >=2 shared distinctive vendor/product tokens (1 suffices when it carries a digit, i.e. a product model), OR same network/AS key (agents-022). (2) EPISODE key (weather/environmental/disaster), incident active <7d: same hazard family (heat/tornado/flood/cyclone/winter/wildfire/storm) AND same macro-region (eu | us/<census region> | country code). (3) Legacy region-overlap + title-word dedup, active <24h (v5 unchanged). Merge unions affected_regions + related_signal_ids + material_event_keys, bumps event_count, advances the material clock, renders the merged regions into the description ("Affected regions:" trailer), logs stage=declare decision=merge (engine deterministic), and unions the evidence projection’s signal sources.

Why SEV3SEV3score 3Deterministic
Incident severity level (SEV1–SEV4) at declarationv1
Base: SEV2 if sev>=9 AND news>=2 AND bpo>=1; else SEV3 if sev>=8 AND (news>=1 OR bpo>=1); else SEV4. Acute severe-weather (agents-028): if sev>=9 floor to SEV3 (SEV2→SEV3); minor/transient watches+advisories drop SEV2/SEV3→SEV4. Single-event cap: any SEV2 caps to SEV3 absent sustained multi-day BPO-region corroboration (SEV2 promotion is human-gated via revalidation). score = numeric SEV (1=most severe … 4); SEV3/SEV4 auto-validate, SEV1/SEV2 require human validation.
