+# CASAN Incident Runbook (C7 / V23)
+
+When a gate raises an incident (`incident.sh raise <event>`), it is classified,
+recorded to `logs/level5/incidents.jsonl`, and for HIGH/CRIT the scoped
+kill-switch is engaged automatically + an alert is dispatched.
+
+## Severity → owner → response
+
+| Severity | Owner (on-call) | Auto-action | Human step |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **CRIT** | security-oncall | kill-switch engaged + alert | Contain now; verify blast radius; do NOT clear until root cause known |
+| **HIGH** | ops-oncall | kill-switch engaged + alert | Assess; clear switch only after fix + reviewer sign-off |
+| **MED** | tech-lead | recorded + alert | Triage within SLA; batch-fix |
+| **LOW** | triage | recorded | Review in retro |
+
+## Kill-switch operations
+```bash
+kill-switch.sh status                     # what is engaged
+kill-switch.sh check <scope> <id>         # gates honor this (exit 2 = stop)
+kill-switch.sh clear <scope> <id> <reason># turn off (production: reviewer-approved)
+```
+Scopes: `project` · `model` · `provider` · `global` (global stops everything).
+
+## Event → severity
+See `incident-severity.map`. Examples: `secret-to-cloud`=CRIT, `tool-write-sensitive`=CRIT,
+`dependency-postinstall`=HIGH, `audit-chain-broken`=HIGH, `cost-budget-exceeded`=MED.
+
+## Postmortem template (fill after resolution)
+- **Incident**: <id / timestamp / event / severity>
+- **Detection**: which gate fired, what signal
+- **Blast radius**: scope, what was stopped by the kill-switch
+- **Root cause**:
+- **Fix**:
+- **Prevent recurrence**: new test/gate added (link the fail-able check)
+- **Kill-switch cleared by**: <reviewer> at <time>, reason
+
+## Production TODO
+Managed alert channel (Slack/PagerDuty) + on-call rota + auto issue creation;
+kill-switch clear gated by reviewer approval (tie to approval-identity C4).
