[REVIEW] forensics-checklist: add mobile app crash evidence scope gates

Skill Being Reviewed

Skill name: forensics-checklist
Skill path: skills/incident-response/forensics-checklist/

False Positive Analysis

Crash reports can be valid evidence when they are scoped, timestamped, symbolicated, privacy-reviewed, and linked to the affected app version.

Coverage Gaps

The checklist should include mobile crash evidence. Mobile incident timelines often rely on crash reporters, but reports may omit device IDs, redact stack frames, or include personal data.

Edge Cases

  • Symbolication files are missing for old builds.
  • Crash SDK sampling hides low-volume exploit attempts.
  • App store phased rollout affects affected population.

Remediation Quality

  • Add evidence fields: app version, build ID, device scope, crash SDK, sampling rate, symbols, privacy redaction, and export hash.
  • Require retention of dSYM/ProGuard mapping files.
  • Separate diagnostic evidence from personal data export.

Comparison to Other Tools

Crash platforms provide telemetry; forensic checklist must preserve scope and integrity.

Overall Assessment

Add mobile crash gates so app incidents have reliable evidence boundaries.
