…atrix, standards, epic themes Current competitive-and-landscape research feeding epic creation. Builds on the existing research set (PRs #15/#16/#17) without re-deriving it; goes deep where the prior pass was thin: - AI-SRE / auto-triage category (k8sgpt, HolmesGPT, Robusta, Botkube, Komodor, Cleric): all investigate/advise, read-only or action-gated, LLM-agentic — the action gap and the deterministic-RCA gap are both open. - One cross-category comparison matrix; category framing (fleet client vs AI-SRE vs GitOps action layer vs IDP). - Standards bibliography with authoritative links: OCM, CNCF landscape, MCP 2026-07-28 RC (OAuth 2.1 + RFC 8707), CVE-2026-46519 (enforce-at-execution), OTel k8s semconv, client-go ExecCredential, SLSA/cosign/SBOM, k8s API conventions. - Differentiation/positioning, risks, what-not-to-build; adversarial verification of six key claims; findings mapped to epic themes referencing issues #18-#39. Key recommendation: promote the Investigation Brain (PR #43 spec) to a numbered epic (E14) with a deterministic-vs-LLM positioning contract.

docs/research/MARKET-RESEARCH-2026-07.md— a current (2026) competitive-and-landscape research pass to feed epic creation. Builds on the existing research set (PRs #15/#16/#17) without re-deriving it; goes deep where the prior pass was thin.Why now
The single biggest change since the last research pass is the 2026 AI-SRE / auto-triage wave. This report characterizes it, positions Sith's Investigation Brain (PR #43) against it, and translates the findings into epic themes.
Contents
Key findings
CVE-2026-46519(CVSS 8.8) shows a Kubernetes MCP server enforcing controls only at discovery (tools/list), not execution (tools/call) — exactly the bug class Sith's spoke-side re-validation (E4 F4.5) structurally fixes. E7 should adopt MCP-2026 audience-bound tokens + enforce-at-execution as guardrails.Top recommendation
Promote the Investigation Brain (currently only a spec in #43) to a numbered epic E14 with a deterministic-vs-LLM positioning contract and R1–R6 as its features.
