"""
AWS Lambda Live On-Call Incident Responder.
Triggers on:
- Amazon SNS topic notification (e.g. CloudWatch Alarm firing)
- EventBridge rule
- Direct invocation (e.g. synthetic drills or manual trigger)
Lifecycle:
1. Parse and normalize incoming alert payload.
2. Evaluate code-enforced autonomy policy:
- LEVEL_1_AUTO_EXECUTE: Safe, reversible actions (rollback, restart) executed autonomously.
- LEVEL_2_HUMAN_APPROVAL: Code modifications / patch applications requiring human sign-off.
- LEVEL_3_ESCALATE: Destructive or unallowlisted actions blocked immediately.
3. If Level 2 without human approval: PAUSES, emits proposed diff, and awaits sign-off.
4. If Level 2 with human approval: Applies patch, runs test suite, and commits to git.
5. Validate service health & resolution.
6. Log audit trail to Amazon CloudWatch Logs and S3 / local audit.
