Use when a severity filter hid a KEV-listed CVE and the report claimed zero findings. Covers rescanning without the filter, making KEV membership override severity filters, and KEV-first triage. Not for tuning severity thresholds in general.

Use when a kernel CVE found by an image scan sent the agent patching the application instead of the host. Covers the shared-kernel model, routing kernel CVEs to the host fleet, and teaching the agent the distinction. Not for userspace CVEs in the image.

Gives agents a playbook for Athena queries that never return: query states, cancellation, and rewriting. Use when an agent waits on an Athena query stuck in a non-terminal state. Not for queries that fail fast.
