censored vs OpenCTI: at a glance
What is censored?
censored keeps survival models aligned with parsnip's shifting prediction contracts
censored supplies survival-analysis engines to parsnip, and its release history is dominated by staying in step with the rest of tidymodels rather than shipping independent features. The 0.2.0 and 0.3.0 releases added engines and prediction types; everything since has been contract alignment — quantile prediction format, hardhat test adaptation, flexsurv preparation.
What is OpenCTI?
OpenCTI spends a release unblocking queues and hardening upserts
7.260817.0 is a fix release. The most consequential item is malformed STIX messages nacking forever and blocking worker queues indefinitely — a stall in the ingestion path rather than a display bug. Alongside it: upsert clearing an existing createdBy when incoming confidence is higher, draft upserts crashing on existing attack patterns, OTP handling in the stream middleware, and case template relation authorization. Score fields were added to threat actor groups, intrusion sets and malware.

◆ Current state
censored supplies survival-analysis engines to parsnip, and its release history is dominated by staying in step with the rest of tidymodels rather than shipping independent features. The 0.2.0 and 0.3.0 releases added engines and prediction types; everything since has been contract alignment — quantile prediction format, hardhat test adaptation, flexsurv preparation.
◆ Where it's heading
The package is settling into a downstream role where parsnip and hardhat set the interface and censored implements it for censored regression. Breaking changes arrive from upstream, not from new ideas here. The substantive engine work — aorsf, flexsurvspline, glmnet multi_predict — is behind it, and recent cycles are thin.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next releases to track further parsnip prediction-type changes rather than add engines; the entries do not show new survival methods in progress.

OpenCTI spends a release unblocking queues and hardening upserts
◆ Current state
7.260817.0 is a fix release. The most consequential item is malformed STIX messages nacking forever and blocking worker queues indefinitely — a stall in the ingestion path rather than a display bug. Alongside it: upsert clearing an existing createdBy when incoming confidence is higher, draft upserts crashing on existing attack patterns, OTP handling in the stream middleware, and case template relation authorization. Score fields were added to threat actor groups, intrusion sets and malware.
◆ Where it's heading
The platform's feature energy went into the connector catalog and integrations rework in July, and the releases since have been consolidating: mass operations on relation times, shareable saved searches, and now a pass over ingestion robustness. Adding score to more entity types continues the slow enrichment of the data model that runs underneath the feature work.
◆ Prediction
Given score arriving on three entity types in one release, expect it to keep spreading across the data model, and the queue-blocking class of bug to draw more worker-side hardening.
