Summary

Adds timeline-integrity and evidence-handling gates to log-analysis so incident conclusions are calibrated by timestamp normalization, log pipeline health, and preserved raw evidence.

Changes

  • Added LOG-TIME-01 through LOG-TIME-06 for timezone, clock skew, ingestion timestamp confusion, log gaps, parser loss, and duplicate event handling.
  • Added LOG-EVID-01 through LOG-EVID-05 for raw source references, query text, hashes/immutability, redaction, and raw-event spot checks.
  • Added required timeline metadata and confidence calibration tables.
  • Extended the output template with time normalization, evidence handling, and timeline integrity sections.
  • Added pitfalls for exact timelines from ambiguous timestamps and transformed SIEM fields without raw evidence.
  • Added NIST SP 800-86 as a forensic evidence-handling reference.
  • Added edge-case fixtures for mixed local/UTC logs, incident-window pipeline gaps, and normalized fields without raw exports.

Validation

  • git diff --check
  • Added-line non-ASCII scan
  • Added-line prompt-injection marker scan
  • NIST SP 800-86 reference URL returned HTTP 200

P2 Badge Require all missing-evidence gates in the fixture

This fixture has no raw export path, no hash, and only normalized SIEM fields, so it simultaneously satisfies LOG-EVID-01, LOG-EVID-03, and LOG-EVID-05 as defined in the new skill checks. Using or lets a report pass while ignoring two of the missing-evidence conditions, which weakens the edge-case coverage for the evidence gates this test is meant to validate.
