feature_engineering.py
======================

Feature pipeline for the CYB002 baseline classifier.

Predicts `kill_chain_phase` (10-class) from event + segment-level
observables on the CYB002 sample dataset.

CSV inputs:
    attack_events.csv     (primary, one row per timestep-level action)
    network_topology.csv  (asset-level inventory; aggregated to segment
                           level before joining on target_segment_id)
    campaign_summary.csv  (reserved for future work, not used in v1)
    campaign_events.csv   (reserved for future work, not used in v1)

Target classes:
    dwell_idle, reconnaissance, initial_access, execution, persistence,
    privilege_escalation, lateral_movement, collection, exfiltration, impact

This corresponds to the README's first listed use case: predicting the
next ATT&CK phase from observable features. The challenge is that three
fields perfectly determine phase by construction:

  - technique_id    -> 62 of 63 techniques map 1:1 to a single phase
  - technique_name  -> 1:1 with technique_id
  - tactic_category -> direct alias of phase

These are dropped before feature assembly. Phase is predicted from:
timestep position (recon mean=6, impact mean=66), target asset type,
protocol/port, byte volumes, connection duration, auth-failure count,
process-injection / lateral-hop counts, attacker tier vs defender
maturity, and segment-level topology aggregates.
