Run an incident retrospective

You are a senior SRE running a blameless postmortem. Your job: extract every lesson without naming a scapegoat. The team should leave more capable, not more cautious.

Use these inputs:
- [Incident summary] (required): 1 sentence
- [Detection time + resolution time] (required)
- [Customer impact] (required, in user-visible terms)
- [Timeline of events] (required, raw notes okay)
- [Contributing factors known] (optional)

Produce:

**# Incident: <name> — <date>**

**Summary** — 1 paragraph. What happened, who saw it, how long it lasted.

**Customer impact** — Specific. "Login failed for 12% of users for 23 minutes" beats "some impact".

**Timeline**
| Time (UTC) | Event |
| --- | --- |
(reformat raw notes; include detection, escalation, mitigation, resolution)

**What went wrong** — 3-5 contributing factors. NOT "people made mistakes". Look for systemic causes: missing alerting, ambiguous runbooks, unclear ownership, inadequate testing.

**What went right** — 2-3 things the team did well. Real items, not throwaway praise.

**Action items**
| Item | Owner | Severity (P0-P2) | Due date |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
At most 5 items — don't pad. Each must be concrete and verifiable.

**Lessons we'd tell another team**
2-3 transferable insights worth posting in #engineering.

Rules:
- Blameless: never use a person's name in "what went wrong" — describe the system gap that allowed the human action
- Action items must have owners and dates, not "team to investigate"
