======================

Feature pipeline for the CYB006 baseline classifier.

Predicts `user_risk_tier` (3-class: low / medium / high) from per-user
identity aggregates on the CYB006 sample dataset.

CSV inputs:
    user_risk_summary.csv   (primary, per-user aggregates, 200 rows)
    login_sessions.csv      (per-session telemetry, joined as
                             per-user behavioural aggregates)
    identity_topology.csv   (identity domain registry; reserved for
                             future work - no direct user join key)
    auth_events.csv         (discrete event log; reserved for
                             future work)

Target classes (3):
    low, medium, high

Why this task instead of threat_actor_capability_tier
-----------------------------------------------------
The CYB006 README lists "threat-actor tier classification (4-class)" as
its primary suggested use case. We piloted that target first and found
the sample dataset has STRUCTURAL DETERMINISM: every actor-tier signal
in the data (velocity_anomaly_score, session_timestamp, credential
attempt count, login outcome, geo country code, device trust level,
user risk tier itself, geo anomaly score) carries non-overlapping
distributions between threat and legitimate sessions. As a result, a
plain XGBoost achieves 100% test accuracy on threat-actor binary
classification across every random seed - and stays at 97-100%
accuracy even with all six oracle feature groups removed.

This is not a methodological failure; it's a property of how the
sample was generated. Real-world identity telemetry has substantial
overlap between threat-actor and legitimate behaviour. The model card
documents this as a diagnostic finding for the dataset author and a
caveat for buyers planning to train detection models on the sample.

For a working baseline that demonstrates honest ML on the dataset, we
shifted to predicting `user_risk_tier` from per-user aggregates. This
task has overlapping per-tier feature distributions, no oracle features,
and lifts modestly over majority baseline (acc 0.66 vs 0.57 majority).
