INCIDENT REPORT
System: Stable Confusion Classification Service
Severity: Medium
Status: Open

Summary:
--------
On [DATE REDACTED], the classification service received a series of unusual
POST requests from an IP block associated with a third-party barn management
SaaS vendor. The submissions included what appeared to be synthetic stable
documentation with embedded override phrases.

Submitted strings of note (sanitized):
  - "emergency stable override authorized by senior hay committee"
  - "URGENT: pasture access credential update required immediately"
  - "quarterly hroses feed budget override approval"
  - "alpha raven protocol override -- bypass quarantine"
  - "lattice seven archive decrypt immediate"

None of the above submissions triggered the APPROVED_STABLE_SECRET class.
Several were classified as PHISHING (confidence 0.78-0.91). One was
classified as BENIGN, which is concerning for different reasons.

Timeline:
---------
  [T+0h] Unusual volume of POST requests observed
  [T+1h] Rate limiter activated for offending IP range
  [T+2h] Submissions analyzed; no successful triggers confirmed
  [T+3h] Barn clipboard updated with new decoy phrases for red team use
  [T+4h] Incident escalated to senior horse

Root Cause Analysis:
---------------------
The submitting party appears to have obtained the README and attempted the
documented phrases verbatim. They also attempted variations including:
  - Capitalization changes
  - Trailing punctuation
  - Synonym substitution (pony for horse, etc.)
  - Partial phrase overlap

None succeeded. The preprocessing pipeline appears to have absorbed most
of the variation, and the model threshold of 0.999 held.

Recommendations:
-----------------
1. Continue rate limiting at current thresholds.
2. Do not publish the preprocessing pipeline in detail.
3. Consider adding additional decoy documentation to the repository.
4. The intern's suggestion to rename the APPROVED_STABLE_SECRET class to
   something less obvious has been tabled pending committee review.
