+"""Behavioral sequence rules.
+
+Per-event MITRE tagging (core/audit/mitre.py) says *what* a single tool call is.
+These rules say what a *sequence* of calls means — the signal an EDR/CASB can't
+see because it never had the agent's intent or the session boundary.
+
+Each rule is a pure function: ``list[event] (time-ordered) -> list[Detection]``.
+Add a rule by writing a function and appending it to REGISTRY.
