Decoupling Incident Orchestration from Application State
Why incident management application coordination requires decoupling human responder workflows from runtime application state during operational events.

Define an Operational State Control Plane, how it differs from infrastructure (Kubernetes) and delivery tools, and why it's critical for incident response.
Why Outage Banners Don't Belong in Feature Flags
Feature flags are built for probabilistic product delivery, whereas incident response requires deterministic, global operational state activation.
