## Observation 010: Incident-response tickets decomposed and sequenced; rate-limit critical path identified

**Type:** steady-state
**Severity:** informational
**Time window:** 2026-05-05T14:45:00Z — ongoing

**Symptom:**

Rabbit has decomposed the Queen's three rulings into 3 tickets with clear dependency sequencing: lockout-extension (no blockers, ships now), rate-limit (critical path, blocks breach investigation), breach-investigation-parsing (depends on rate-limit audit logs). The sequence is sound and operational.

**Affected scope:**

Incident response sequencing; team coordination; no production change yet.

**Evidence:**
- Rabbit ticket slug=extend-user-account-lockout-threshold-from-5-to-10-failed-attempts-effective-immediately (immediate, no dependencies)
- Rabbit ticket slug=implement-rate-limiting-on-login-endpoint-per-queen-ruling (critical path)
- Rabbit ticket slug=investigate-whether-any-of-the-4-127-attempted-credentials-succeeded-parse-audit-trail-for-successful-logins (depends on rate-limit implementation audit logs)

**Probable domain:** infrastructure
