A.2.8:5.1 - Incident Response

Current IncidentResponsePolicy-2026 says that systems assigned to ProviderSystemRole are subject to a four-hour incident-response prescription. That policy and its kind reference remain generic content.

OpsTeamProviderAssignment-2026 is an assignment occurrence with admitted System OpsTeam as holder; its species is declared under U.SystemRoleAssignment. If the policy contains the holder-application rule, speech act SA-Issue-IncidentDuty-2026 : U.SpeechAct is the policy-recognized instituting Work, and the predicate is satisfied, then IncidentResponseCommitment-2026 : U.Commitment obtains with OpsTeam as duty bearer. Its modality is MUST; its referents include SVC-SLO-RESP-4H and the Sev-1 applicability claim; its scope is IncidentManagement; and its validity window is the interval established by the rule.

The commitment assertion may cite E-SLO-RESP-1, incident tickets, timestamps, and the selected clock source for adjudication. Those values make reliance testable; SA-Issue-IncidentDuty-2026 remains the policy-recognized instituting Work.

If OpsTeamProviderAssignment-2026 ends and RecoveryTeamProviderAssignment-2026 begins, apply the constitutive rule’s continuity conditions. When the rule ties duty continuity to the assignment, the OpsTeam commitment ends and a RecoveryTeam commitment begins only after its own required basis and facts obtain. If the rule instead preserves the duty for the same system across a replacement assignment, the continuity decision says so. Any duty that obtains under §4.2 for a different bearer has another occurrence identity. Likewise, a second policy-recognized act reissuing the same uninterrupted duty identifies another commitment only when the constitutive rule makes that instituting basis identity-bearing; otherwise the new act is a new ground or record for the continuing occurrence.

A policy-recognized speech act can also institute ShutdownNoticeCommitment-7 directly for admitted system PlantController-7.

IncidentResponseCommitment-2026 can obtain while no incident-ownership responsibility relation exists. Conversely, an admitted MaintenanceActionResponsibilityRelation@Plant can obtain while no U.Commitment obtains. Both can obtain for the same system and interval only as separately identified relations with separate predicates, participants, bases, and occurrence identities.

If the corpus lacks the constitutive rule or the required instituting-relation predicate, return missing-governor[individual commitment institution]. If the available facts establish that the rule’s required instituting act did not occur, IncidentResponseCommitment-2026 does not obtain under §4.2. If deciding evidence is unavailable, reliance on the commitment assertion is unknown.
