Appendix A.10 corrected to match the post-2026-05-02-audit reality: AbuseIPDB cat 7/13/16/17 land on their canonical AbuseIPDB names (Phishing / VPN IP / SQL Injection / Spoofing); cats 4 and 10 carry explicit "drop" annotations so the next reviewer sees the intent rather than guessing. ThreatFox table re-keys on `threat_type` (the canonical taxonomy field) and adds the `payload` and `cc_skimming` rows. GreyNoise table promotes bare-malicious to a half-multiplier emission of T1071. §"Hard parts §9 Intel provider drift" replaces the prose handwave with a runnable check: provider URLs, the ThreatFox curl invocation that needs DECNET_THREATFOX_API_KEY, the rule_version + emits + attack_catalog co-evolution rules, and the full chain of files to exercise. Adds a "Ship-time audit log" subsection so future quarterly runs have a known-good baseline to diff against. DEBT.md item #1 records LAST_REVIEWED: 2026-05-02 / NEXT_REVIEW: 2026-08-02 and points at §9 for the runbook. DEBT.md item #3 (the attacker.email.received producer) flags its gating premise as potentially stale — ANTI noted SMTP honeypots already persist received messages, contradicting the "no source row" claim that deferred the wiring.

Tech debt — recurring + scheduled work
This file is the canonical home for known tech debt that has a specific cadence, expiry, or follow-up trigger. New entries land here as part of the commit that introduces the underlying constraint; removal is part of the commit that resolves it.
Recurring
TTP provider mapping review — quarterly
Re-walk the AbuseIPDB / GreyNoise / abuse.ch ThreatFox / abuse.ch
Feodo Tracker catalogues for new categories or classification changes.
Reconcile against rules/ttp/R0054..R0058 (the intel-verdict rule
pack) and bump rule versions for any drift. See
development/TTP_TAGGING.md §"Hard parts §9 Intel provider drift" for
the operational runbook.
Owner: TTP rule maintainer (currently ANTI).
Cadence: every quarter, first week of the month.
Trigger: rule YAML next_review markers (canonical), with a
calendar reminder as backup.
Last reviewed: 2026-05-02 (ship-time audit — see
development/TTP_TAGGING.md §9 "Ship-time audit log"; corrected
two AbuseIPDB code typos, expanded the R0054/R0055/R0057 emits
lists to cover the full predicate technique universe, repointed
ThreatFox dispatch from ioc_type to threat_type, wired the
AttackerIntel.{abuseipdb_categories, greynoise_tags, greynoise_name, feodo_malware_family, threatfox_*_types, threatfox_malware_families} columns + producer parsing).
Next review: 2026-08-02.
One-shot
TTP Sigma adapter — post-v1
The Sigma rule format adapter is deferred to post-v1 per
development/TTP_TAGGING.md §"Tagging engines, layered §5". Lands
once v0 ships and the rule-precision targets stabilize so we have a
calibration reference for translated rules. Until then,
decnet/ttp/impl/ does not gain a Sigma engine and rules/ttp/
stays YAML-only.
Trigger: v0 precision targets met + at least one downstream user who needs it.
attacker.email.received producer — wire when SMTP-receive
persistence lands
The TTP worker subscribes to email.received for the EmailLifter
(R0041–R0048), but no upstream component publishes the topic today.
The honeypot SMTP-relay path (decnet/services/smtp_relay.py) does
not persist received emails to a DB table the way ingester /
collector persist log events, so there is no source row to fan out
on. See development/TTP_TAGGING.md §"Bus topics → Producer
wiring" for the full producer audit.
STALE PREMISE (2026-05-02): ANTI noted during the intel audit
that the SMTP honeypots DO persist all received messages today.
Re-triage this entry — the gating premise above may no longer
hold and the producer wiring may be paydown-able directly. Map
the actual SMTP-receive persistence to ReceivedEmail (or its
extant analogue), then wire the publisher.
Trigger: SMTP-receive persistence model lands (a ReceivedEmail
SQLModel + ingest path). Wire the publisher in the same PR.
Owner: TBD.
