# simulation.py
# Phase 3 — Service Mesh Simulator + Fault Injector + Episode Generator.
# Pure Python physics engine. ZERO openenv-core imports.
#
# This file defines:
# 1. FaultConfig — fault specification for one episode
# 2. IncidentMetrics — MTTM and BCM tracking
# 3. ServiceMesh — physics engine with tick()
# 4. generate_episode() — procedural episode generator
# 5. Log line templates for all 5 fault types + prompt injection
#
# Import hierarchy: simulation.py imports models.py and config.py only.
