Collapse related alerts into one incident, process-lineage first with a
time-window fallback. Each alert batch's flagged PIDs are walked up the
/proc PPid chain into a lineage set (excluding pid 0/1 so everything
doesn't correlate through init); batches whose lineage sets intersect —
sharing a process or a common ancestor like the web server or SSH
session — join the same incident. PID-less batches (FIM drift, package
tamper, hidden modules) fall back to the most recently active open
incident within incident_window.
snapshot.capture now computes lineage and records each snapshot into a
JSON incident index (incidents.json), writing incident_id into both the
report JSON (report level, so the per-alert schema is untouched) and the
text header. New commands:
incident list incidents newest-first, with signatures
incident show <id> summary + time-ordered snapshot timeline
incident export <id> JSON bundle: record + inlined snapshots
The lineage/assign cores are pure functions; record() serializes the
index under a lock (capture runs from sweep + eBPF threads) and is
best-effort so an index problem never loses a snapshot. 17 new tests
(lineage, assign, record, and an end-to-end capture→group→CLI path).
Config: incident_tracking / incident_window / incident_lineage_depth.
Docs + sample config updated; closes the last v0.8 roadmap item.

Both zero-dependency (stdlib http.server + urllib), consistent with the
project's no-dependency-tree stance for a security daemon.
Web dashboard (enodia_sentinel/web.py + static/dashboard.html):
- read-only JSON API over the log dir: /api/status, /api/alerts,
/api/alerts/<id>, /api/events
- bearer-token auth (constant-time; header or ?token=), required on non-
loopback binds, auto-generated + persisted (0600) when unset
- binds the host's Tailscale IP by default (auto-detected), reachable from the
tailnet but not the LAN/internet
- self-contained dark SPA: severity cards, live alert list, full snapshot
viewer; 10s auto-refresh
- path-traversal-safe alert lookup; `enodia-sentinel web` subcommand; daemon
now writes a pidfile so the dashboard can show live status
- hardened enodia-sentinel-web.service (read-only, no caps)
Phone push (enodia_sentinel/notify/):
- pluggable backends — ntfy, Pushover, generic webhook — each separating a pure
build() (unit-tested, no network) from send()
- a backend turns on when its config keys are set; pushes gated by
notify_min_severity; severity → per-service priority/tags
- fired from snapshot.capture on worker threads, errors swallowed
- desktop notify-send retained
Tests: +16 (9 web incl. a real-server 401/200 auth test, 7 notify request-build
cases). 55/55 pass. Live end-to-end verified: daemon → alert → API → page.

Closes polling's blind spot (processes that exit between sweeps) with a real
eBPF probe and a declarative, data-driven detection engine — inspired by Snort
(rule language, signature IDs) and OSSEC (host-IDS framing).
New events/ subpackage:
- bcc_source.py : eBPF C tracing execve (filename, argv[1..2], ppid, uid,
parent comm) over a perf buffer, loaded via bcc; lazy import
+ available()/try-except so it fails closed to poll-only when
bcc/root/BTF are absent — a broken probe never downs the daemon
- exec_event.py : the ExecEvent type
- rules.py : ExecRule (sid/msg/severity/classtype + path/exec/parent/argv
conditions) and ExecRuleEngine; 4 shipped rules (fileless exec
100001, reverse-shell argv 100002, web/DB→shell RCE 100003,
curl|sh 100004); operators add more via exec_rules_file TOML
- monitor.py : runs the source on a thread, routes events through the engine
Integration:
- daemon starts the monitor, shares a lock-guarded cooldown with the sweep
loop, and feeds event alerts into the same snapshot pipeline
- Alert gains Snort-style sid + classtype; retrofitted onto all 7 poll
detectors; snapshots and JSON now carry them
- config: ebpf_exec_monitor (default on, degrades), exec_rules_file
- systemd: opt-in ebpf.conf drop-in (relaxes MemoryDenyWriteExecute + widens
caps for bcc's JIT) so the base unit stays hardened for poll-only
- sentinel-redteam: ebpf_exec drill (short-lived /tmp exec + /dev/tcp argv the
poller can't see); footer now uses the Python CLI
Tests: +14 cases for the rule engine (each default rule match/non-match, rule
validation, parent-exclude). 39/39 pass. Graceful non-root degradation verified.
NOTE: the eBPF C follows bcc's execsnoop pattern but could not be run here
(BPF needs root); it wants a root smoke-test on a real host.

Port the bash prototype to a structured, testable Python codebase while
preserving the same control loop and the seven detection signatures. The bash
implementation stays in src/ as the regression oracle.
Highlights:
- enodia_sentinel/ package (stdlib only — no runtime deps):
- detectors/ : one pure function per signature, detect(state, cfg)->Alerts
- system.py : SystemState — one cached /proc + ss snapshot per sweep,
fully injectable so detectors are unit-testable
- daemon.py : sweep loop, in-process cooldown dedup, threaded snapshot
capture, and a SUID filesystem scan moved OFF the loop
thread onto a slow background cadence
- snapshot.py: forensic text + JSON sidecar with per-signature IR guidance
- config.py : dataclass config via TOML + env overrides
- netutil.py : public-IP / CIDR logic via stdlib ipaddress
- tests/ : 25 stdlib-unittest cases (no root, no /proc, no ss needed)
- TOML config, launcher wrapper, Makefile (pip-free install), hardened
systemd unit (env-resolved ExecStart), updated PKGBUILD, rewritten README
Performance: per-sweep cost ~200 ms (shared cached state); the multi-second
SUID walk no longer blocks detection. scandir-based walk replaces os.walk.
Verified on Arch: all 7 detectors fire on red-team drills (reverse_shell,
ld_preload, deleted_exe, new_listener, new_suid confirmed live end-to-end),
no false positives on a clean sweep, 25/25 tests pass.
