The event is emitted from the OTel incident write paths in `ingest.ts` (`appendErrorEvent` / `makeErrorSpanWriter`), which have the project name in scope.\n\nConnector-sourced incidents take a different write path — `appendConnectorIncident` (ADR-185, the `errorType: 'http-failure'` build/poll failures) — and that call site does not carry a project nam",

Today the pieces exist but nobody composes them and nothing pushes them: `get_root_cause`, `get_blast_radius`, `check_policies`, and `get_divergences` are all pull-only, and `neat monitor` (ADR-159) streams divergence/stale/observed/policy facts but has no incident fact kind.\n\n## The goodybag\n\nOne card, composed from quer",

When a tool comes back with \"no such edges\" / \"no dependencies\" / \"no divergences\" / \"node not found\", an agent can't tell a genuinely-empty answer apart from a graph that hasn't finished its first extraction pass yet.
