Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with auditbeat/module/file_integrity/kprobes/monitor_test.go, especially Test_Monitor/TestNew and the failure at line 487. Run the named test on main and compare the repeated CI failures involving missing probe events and timeouts. Done means the test no longer flakes in repeated CI runs.
