Investigate a live or recent incident in a Kubernetes cluster. Anchor the window, bisect the change surface (rollouts, ConfigMaps/Secrets, RBAC, HPA/cluster changes, CronJobs), classify against four reference failure paths (OOM, DNS, cascading-failure, deploy-correlator), confirm the hypothesis with three independent signals, quantify blast radius, and propose mitigation before root cause. Use whenever an agent is asked "what is breaking in the cluster right now", "why did this pod/Deployment just page", "did the rollout cause Z", or to triage an active Kubernetes incident. Vendor-neutral by default (works with kubectl, kube-state-metrics, and whatever telemetry you have); an opt-in Anyshift integration is documented separately.
