P2 Badge Use the emitted src_ip field in drilldowns

When an analyst opens either drilldown, $src$ cannot be populated because the preceding stats command retains only src_ip, not src. This leaves the detection-results filter and risk-object lookup with an empty or unresolved source value; update both drilldowns to reference $src_ip$ and filter on src_ip.
