- 4x benign oversampling during training
|

-
- Removal of severity field (was causing data leakage)

-
web, email, database, and VPN/remote-access activity

- Output schema simplified to verdict-only JSON (removed MITRE field —

63.9% of training examples had empty MITRE arrays)

-
- MAX_SEQ_LEN reduced 1024 → 512 (covers 100% of data, 2x faster training)
