## Where this sits — the spine's terminus
Last in the incident-response spine: **`/slo-error-budget` (frame) →
`/debugging-log-analyser` → `/incident-postmortem` → `oncall-runbook`**. It receives the
**contributing factors and action items** from `/incident-postmortem` and turns the
detection/mitigation learnings into an entry that makes the *next* responder minutes, not
hours — closing the loop so the same incident doesn't recur at full cost. *Runbook entry*,
*detection/mitigation time*, and the loop are defined once in
