 The script mirrors the debug tree into the Offline Kit staging directory, verifies SHA-256 values against the manifest, and writes a summary under `metadata/debug-store.json` for audit logs. If the release pipeline does not populate `out/release/debug`, the tooling now logs a warning (`DEVOPS-REL-17-004`)—treat it as a build failure and re-run the release once symbol extraction is enabled.
 
 ---
+## 2.2 · Reachability & Proof Bundle Extensions
 
+The Offline Kit supports deterministic replay and reachability analysis in air-gapped environments through additional bundle types.
+
+### Reachability Bundle Format
+
+```
+/offline/reachability/<scan-id>/
+  ├── callgraph.json.zst         # Compressed call-graph (cg_node + cg_edge)
+  ├── manifest.json               # Scan manifest with frozen feed hashes
+  ├── manifest.dsse.json          # DSSE signature envelope
+  ├── entrypoints.json            # Discovered entry points
+  └── proofs/
+      ├── score_proof.cbor        # Canonical CBOR proof ledger
+      ├── score_proof.dsse.json   # DSSE signature for proof
+      └── reachability.json       # Reachability verdicts per finding
+```
+
+**Bundle contents:**
+
+| File | Purpose | Format |
+|------|---------|--------|
+| `callgraph.json.zst` | Static call-graph extracted from artifact | Zstd-compressed JSON |
+| `manifest.json` | Scan parameters + frozen Concelier/Excititor snapshot hashes | JSON |
+| `manifest.dsse.json` | DSSE envelope signing the manifest | JSON (in-toto DSSE) |
+| `entrypoints.json` | Discovered entry points (controllers, handlers, etc.) | JSON array |
+| `proofs/score_proof.cbor` | Deterministic proof ledger with Merkle root | CBOR (RFC 8949) |
+| `proofs/score_proof.dsse.json` | DSSE signature attesting to proof integrity | JSON (in-toto DSSE) |
+| `proofs/reachability.json` | Reachability status per CVE/finding | JSON |
+
+### Ground-Truth Corpus Bundle
+
+For validation and regression testing of reachability analysis:
+
+```
+/offline/corpus/ground-truth-v1.tar.zst
+  ├── corpus-manifest.json        # Corpus metadata and sample count
+  ├── dotnet/                     # .NET test cases (10 samples)
+  │   ├── sample-001/
+  │   │   ├── artifact.tar.gz     # Source/binary artifact
+  │   │   ├── expected.json       # Ground-truth reachability verdicts
+  │   │   └── callgraph.json      # Expected call-graph
+  │   └── ...
+  └── java/                       # Java test cases (10 samples)
+      ├── sample-001/
+      └── ...
+```
+
+**Corpus validation:**
+```bash
+stella scan validate-corpus --corpus /offline/corpus/ground-truth-v1.tar.zst
+```
+
+Expected output:
+- Precision ≥ 80% on all samples
+- Recall ≥ 80% on all samples  
+- 100% bit-identical replay when re-running with same manifest
+
+### Proof Replay in Air-Gap Mode
+
+To replay a scan with frozen feeds:
+
+```bash
+# Import the reachability bundle
+stella admin import-reachability-bundle /offline/reachability/<scan-id>/
+
+# Replay the score calculation
+stella score replay --scan <scan-id> --verify-proof
+
+# Expected: "Proof root hash matches: <hash>"
+```
+
+The replay command:
+1. Loads the frozen Concelier/Excititor snapshots from the manifest
+2. Re-executes scoring with the same inputs
+3. Computes a new proof root hash
+4. Verifies it matches the original (bit-identical determinism)
+
+### CLI Commands for Reachability
+
+```bash
+# Extract call-graph from artifact
+stella scan graph --lang dotnet --sln /path/to/solution.sln --output callgraph.json
+
+# Run reachability analysis
+stella scan reachability --callgraph callgraph.json --sbom sbom.json --output reachability.json
+
+# Package for offline transfer
+stella scan export-bundle --scan <scan-id> --output /offline/reachability/<scan-id>/
+```

+# Sprint 0412.0001.0001 - Temporal & Mesh Entrypoint
+
+## Topic & Scope
+- Implement temporal tracking of entrypoints across image versions and mesh analysis for multi-container orchestration.
+- Build on Sprint 0411 SemanticEntrypoint foundation to detect drift and cross-container reachability.
+- Enable queries like "Which images changed their network exposure between releases?" and "What vulnerable paths cross service boundaries?"
+- **Working directory:** `src/Scanner/__Libraries/StellaOps.Scanner.EntryTrace/Temporal/` and `src/Scanner/__Libraries/StellaOps.Scanner.EntryTrace/Mesh/`
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+- **Upstream (DONE):**
+  - Sprint 0411: SemanticEntrypoint, ApplicationIntent, CapabilityClass, ThreatVector records
+  - Sprint 0401: richgraph-v1 contracts, symbol_id, code_id
+- **Downstream:**
+  - Sprint 0413 (Speculative Execution) can start in parallel
+  - Sprint 0414/0415 depend on temporal/mesh data structures
+
+## Documentation Prerequisites
+- `docs/modules/scanner/architecture.md`
+- `docs/modules/scanner/operations/entrypoint-problem.md`
+- `src/Scanner/__Libraries/StellaOps.Scanner.EntryTrace/AGENTS.md`
+- `docs/reachability/function-level-evidence.md`

+
+## Key Design Decisions
+
+### Temporal Graph Model
+
+```
+TemporalEntrypointGraph := {
+  ServiceId: string,           // Stable service identifier
+  Snapshots: EntrypointSnapshot[],  // Ordered by version/time
+  CurrentVersion: string,
+  PreviousVersion: string?,
+  Delta: EntrypointDelta?,     // Diff between current and previous
+}
+
+EntrypointSnapshot := {
+  Version: string,             // Image tag or digest
+  ImageDigest: string,         // sha256:...
+  AnalyzedAt: ISO8601,
+  Entrypoints: SemanticEntrypoint[],
+  Hash: string,                // Content hash for comparison
+}
+
+EntrypointDelta := {
+  FromVersion: string,
+  ToVersion: string,
+  AddedEntrypoints: SemanticEntrypoint[],
+  RemovedEntrypoints: SemanticEntrypoint[],
+  ModifiedEntrypoints: EntrypointModification[],
+  DriftCategories: EntrypointDrift[],
+}
+```
+
+### Drift Categories
+
+```csharp
+enum EntrypointDrift
+{
+  None = 0,
+  IntentChanged,               // e.g., WebServer → Worker
+  CapabilitiesExpanded,        // New capabilities added
+  CapabilitiesReduced,         // Capabilities removed
+  AttackSurfaceGrew,           // New threat vectors
+  AttackSurfaceShrank,         // Threat vectors removed
+  FrameworkChanged,            // Different framework
+  PortsChanged,                // Exposed ports changed
+  PrivilegeEscalation,         // User changed to root
+  PrivilegeReduction,          // Root changed to non-root
+}
+```
+
+### Mesh Graph Model
+
+```
+MeshEntrypointGraph := {
+  MeshId: string,              // Namespace or compose project
+  Services: ServiceNode[],
+  Edges: CrossContainerEdge[],
+  IngressPaths: IngressPath[],
+}
+
+ServiceNode := {
+  ServiceId: string,
+  ImageDigest: string,
+  Entrypoints: SemanticEntrypoint[],
+  ExposedPorts: int[],
+  InternalDns: string[],       // K8s service names
+  Labels: Map<string, string>,
+}
+
+CrossContainerEdge := {
+  FromService: string,
+  ToService: string,
+  Port: int,
+  Protocol: string,            // TCP, UDP, gRPC, HTTP
+  IsExternal: bool,            // Ingress-exposed
+}
+
+CrossContainerPath := {
+  Source: ServiceNode,
+  Target: ServiceNode,
+  Hops: CrossContainerEdge[],
+  VulnerableComponents: string[],  // PURLs of vulnerable libs
+  ReachabilityConfidence: float,
+}
+```
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [x] TemporalEntrypointGraph detects drift between image versions
+- [x] MeshEntrypointGraph parses K8s Deployment + Service + Ingress
+- [x] MeshEntrypointGraph parses Docker Compose files
+- [x] CrossContainerPath identifies vulnerable paths across services
+- [x] Unit test coverage ≥ 85%
+- [x] All outputs deterministic (stable ordering, hashes)
+
+## Effort Estimate
+
+**Size:** Large (L) - 5-7 days
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+| Start with K8s + Compose | Cover 90%+ of orchestration patterns |
+| Use content hash for snapshot comparison | Fast, deterministic diff detection |
+| Separate temporal from mesh concerns | Different query patterns, can evolve independently |
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|
+| K8s manifest variety | Start with core resources; extend via adapters |
+| Cross-container reachability accuracy | Mark confidence levels; defer complex patterns |
+| Version comparison semantics | Use image digests as ground truth, tags as hints |
+
+## Execution Log
+
+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
+|------------|--------|-------|
+| 2025-12-20 | Sprint created; task breakdown complete. Starting TEMP-001. | Agent |
+| 2025-12-20 | Completed TEMP-001 through TEMP-006: TemporalEntrypointGraph, EntrypointSnapshot, EntrypointDelta, EntrypointDrift, ITemporalEntrypointStore, InMemoryTemporalEntrypointStore. | Agent |

+# SPRINT_3500_0002_0002: Unknowns Registry v1
+
+**Epic**: Epic A — Deterministic Score Proofs + Unknowns v1
+**Sprint**: 2 of 3
+**Duration**: 2 weeks
+**Working Directory**: `src/Policy/__Libraries/StellaOps.Policy.Unknowns/`
+**Owner**: Policy Team
+
+---
+
+## Sprint Goal
+
+Implement the Unknowns Registry for systematic tracking and prioritization of ambiguous findings:
+
+1. Database schema for unknowns queue (`policy.unknowns`)
+2. Two-factor ranking model (uncertainty + exploit pressure)
+3. Band assignment (HOT/WARM/COLD/RESOLVED)
+4. REST API endpoints for unknowns management
+5. Scheduler integration for escalation-triggered rescans
+
+**Success Criteria**:
+- [ ] Unknowns persisted in Postgres with RLS
+- [ ] Ranking score computed deterministically (same inputs → same score)
+- [ ] Band thresholds configurable via policy settings
+- [ ] API endpoints functional with tenant isolation
+- [ ] Unit tests achieve ≥85% coverage
+
+---
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+
+- **Upstream**: SPRINT_3500_0002_0001 (Score Proofs Foundations) — DONE
+- **Safe to parallelize with**: N/A (sequential with 3500.0002.0001)
+
+---
+
+## Documentation Prerequisites
+
+- `docs/db/SPECIFICATION.md` Section 5.6 — policy.unknowns schema
+- `docs/modules/ui/wireframes/proof-visualization-wireframes.md` — Unknowns Queue wireframe
+- `docs/market/claims-citation-index.md` — UNKNOWNS-001/002/003 claims

 - **Why it matters:** Makes false positives *structurally impossible*, not heuristically reduced. Path witnesses are DSSE-signed.
 
+## 12. Trust Algebra and Lattice Engine (2025-12)
+- **What it is:** A deterministic claim resolution engine using **Belnap K4 four-valued logic** (Unknown, True, False, Conflict) to aggregate heterogeneous security assertions (VEX, SBOM, reachability, provenance) into signed, replayable verdicts.
+- **Evidence:** Implementation in `src/Policy/__Libraries/StellaOps.Policy/TrustLattice/`; 110 unit+integration tests; normalizers for CycloneDX, OpenVEX, and CSAF VEX formats; ECMA-424 disposition output (resolved, exploitable, in_triage, etc.).
+- **Technical primitives:**
+  - **K4 Lattice**: Conflict-preserving knowledge aggregation with join/meet/order operations
+  - **Security Atoms**: Six orthogonal propositions (PRESENT, APPLIES, REACHABLE, MITIGATED, FIXED, MISATTRIBUTED)
+  - **Trust Labels**: Four-tuple (AssuranceLevel, AuthorityScope, FreshnessClass, EvidenceClass) for issuer credibility
+  - **Disposition Selection**: Priority-based rules that detect conflicts before auto-dismissal
+  - **Proof Bundles**: Content-addressed audit trail with decision trace
+- **Why it matters:** Unlike naive VEX precedence (vendor > distro > scanner), the lattice engine:
+  - Preserves conflicts as explicit state (⊤) rather than hiding them
+  - Reports critical unknowns (PRESENT, APPLIES, REACHABLE) separately from ancillary ones
+  - Produces deterministic, explainable dispositions that survive audit
+  - Makes "what we don't know" visible and policy-addressable
+
 ## 11. Deterministic Task Packs (2025-11)
 - **What it is:** TaskRunner executes declarative Task Packs with plan-hash binding, approvals, sealed-mode enforcement, and DSSE evidence bundles.
 - **Evidence:** Product advisory `docs/product-advisories/29-Nov-2025 - Task Pack Orchestration and Automation.md`; architecture contract in `docs/modules/taskrunner/architecture.md`; runbook/spec in `docs/task-packs/*.md`.

+I’m sharing this because the state of modern vulnerability prioritization and supply‑chain risk tooling is rapidly shifting toward *context‑aware, evidence‑driven insights* — not just raw lists of CVEs.

+
+Here’s what’s shaping the field:
+
+**• Reachability‑first triage is about ordering fixes by *actual call‑graph evidence*** — tools like Snyk analyze your code’s call graph to determine whether a vulnerable function is *actually reachable* from your application’s execution paths. Vulnerabilities with evidence of reachability are tagged (e.g., **REACHABLE**) so teams can focus on real exploit risk first, rather than just severity in a vacuum. This significantly reduces noise and alert fatigue by filtering out issues that can’t be invoked in context. ([Snyk User Docs][1])
+
+**• Inline VEX status with provenance turns static findings into contextual decisions.** *Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange (VEX)* is a structured way to annotate each finding with its *exploitability status* — like “not applicable,” “mitigated,” or “under investigation” — and attach that directly to SBOM/VEX records. Anchore Enterprise, for example, supports embedding these annotations and exporting them in both OpenVEX and CycloneDX VEX formats so downstream consumers see not just “there’s a CVE” but *what it means for your specific build or deployment*. ([Anchore][2])
+
+**• OCI‑linked evidence chips (VEX attestations) bind context to images at the registry level.** Tools like Trivy can discover VEX attestations stored in OCI registries using flags like `--vex oci`. That lets scanners incorporate *pre‑existing attestations* into their vulnerability results — essentially layering registry‑attached statements about exploitability right into your scan output. ([Trivy][3])
+
+Taken together, these trends illustrate a shift from *volume* (lists of vulnerabilities) to *value* (actionable, context‑specific risk insight) — especially if you’re building or evaluating risk tooling that needs to integrate call‑graph evidence, structured exploitability labels, and registry‑sourced attestations for high‑fidelity prioritization.

+Below are UX patterns that are “worth it” specifically for a VEX-first, evidence-driven scanner like Stella Ops. I’m not repeating generic “nice UI” ideas; these are interaction models that materially reduce triage time, raise trust, and turn your moats (determinism, proofs, lattice merge) into something users can feel.
+
+## 1) Make “Claim → Evidence → Verdict” the core mental model
+
+Every finding is a **Claim** (e.g., “CVE-X affects package Y in image Z”), backed by **Evidence** (SBOM match, symbol match, reachable path, runtime hit, vendor VEX, etc.), merged by **Semantics** (your lattice rules), producing a **Verdict** (policy outcome + signed attestation).
+
+**UX consequence:** every screen should answer:
+
+* What is being claimed?
+* What evidence supports it?
+* Which rule turned it into “block / allow / warn”?
+* Can I replay it identically?
+
+## 2) “Risk Inbox” that behaves like an operator queue, not a report
+
+Borrow the best idea from SOC tooling: a queue you can clear.
+
+**List row structure (high impact):**
+
+* Left: *Policy outcome* (BLOCK / WARN / PASS) as the primary indicator (not CVSS).
+* Middle: *Evidence chips* (REACHABLE, RUNTIME-SEEN, VEX-NOT-AFFECTED, ATTESTED, DIFF-NEW, etc.).
+* Right: *Blast radius* (how many artifacts/envs/services), plus “time since introduced”.
+
+**Must-have filters:**
+
+* “New since last release”
+* “Reachable only”
+* “Unknowns only”
+* “Policy blockers in prod”
+* “Conflicts (VEX merge disagreement)”
+* “No provenance (unsigned evidence)”
+
+## 3) Delta-first everywhere (default view is “what changed”)
+
+Users rarely want the full world; they want the delta relative to the last trusted point.
+
+**Borrowed pattern:** PR diff mindset.
+
+* Default to **Diff Lens**: “introduced / fixed / changed reachability / changed policy / changed EPSS / changed source trust”.
+* Every detail page has a “Before / After” toggle for: SBOM subgraph, reachability subgraph, VEX claims, policy trace.
+
+This is one of the biggest “time saved per pixel” UX decisions you can make.
+
+## 4) Evidence chips that are not decorative: click-to-proof
+
+Chips should be actionable and open the exact proof.
+
+Examples:
+
+* **REACHABLE** → opens reachability subgraph viewer with the exact path(s) highlighted.
+* **ATTESTED** → opens DSSE/in-toto attestation viewer + signature verification status.
+* **VEX: NOT AFFECTED** → opens VEX statement with provenance + merge outcome.
+* **BINARY-MATCH** → opens mapping evidence (Build-ID / symbol / file hash) and confidence.
+
+Rule: every chip either opens proof, or it doesn’t exist.
+
+## 5) “Verdict Ladder” on every finding
+
+A vertical ladder that shows the transformation from raw detection to final decision:
+
+1. Detection source(s)
+2. Component identification (SBOM / installed / binary mapping)
+3. Applicability (platform, config flags, feature gates)
+4. Reachability (static path evidence)
+5. Runtime confirmation (if available)
+6. VEX merge & trust weighting
+7. Policy trace → final verdict
+8. Signed attestation reference (digest)
+
+This turns your product from “scanner UI” into “auditor-grade reasoning UI”.
+
+## 6) Reachability Explorer that is intentionally constrained
+
+Reachability visualizations usually fail because they’re too generic.
+
+Do this instead:
+
+* Show **one shortest path** by default (operator mode).
+* Offer “show all paths” only on demand (expert mode).
+* Provide a **human-readable path narration** (“HTTP handler X → service Y → library Z → vulnerable function”) plus the reproducible anchors (file:line or symbol+offset).
+* Store and render the **subgraph evidence**, not a screenshot.
+
+## 7) A “Policy Trace” panel that reads like a flight recorder
+
+Borrow from OPA/rego trace concepts: show which rules fired, which evidence satisfied conditions, and where unknowns influenced outcome.
+
+**UX element:** “Why blocked?” and “What would make it pass?”
+
+* “Blocked because: reachable AND exploited AND no mitigation claim AND env=prod”
+* “Would pass if: VEX mitigated with evidence OR reachability unknown budget allows OR patch applied”
+
+This directly enables your “risk budgets + diff-aware release gates”.
+
+## 8) Unknowns are first-class, budgeted, and visual
+
+Most tools hide unknowns. You want the opposite.
+
+**Unknowns dashboard:**
+
+* Unknown count by environment + trend.
+* Unknown categories (unmapped binaries, missing SBOM edges, unsigned VEX, stale feeds).
+* Policy thresholds (e.g., “fail if unknowns > N in prod”) with clear violation explanation.
+
+**Micro-interaction:** unknowns should have a “convert to known” CTA (attach evidence, add mapping rule, import attestation, upgrade feed bundle).
+
+## 9) VEX Conflict Studio: side-by-side merge with provenance
+
+When two statements disagree, don’t just pick one. Show the conflict.
+
+**Conflict card:**
+
+* Left: Vendor VEX statement + signature/provenance
+* Right: Distro/internal statement + signature/provenance
+* Middle: lattice merge result + rule that decided it
+* Bottom: “Required evidence hook” checklist (feature flag off, config, runtime proof, etc.)
+
+This makes your “Trust Algebra / Lattice Engine” tangible.
+
+## 10) Exceptions as auditable objects (with TTL) integrated into triage
+
+Exception UX should feel like creating a compliance-grade artifact, not clicking “ignore”.
+
+**Exception form UX:**
+
+* Scope selector: artifact digest(s), package range, env(s), time window
+* Required: rationale + evidence attachments
+* Optional: compensating controls (WAF, network isolation)
+* Auto-generated: signed exception attestation + audit pack link
+* Review workflow: “owner”, “approver”, “expires”, “renewal requires fresh evidence”
+
+## 11) One-click “Audit Pack” export from any screen
+
+Auditors don’t want screenshots; they want structured evidence.
+
+From a finding/release:
+
+* Included: SBOM (exact), VEX set (exact), merge rules version, policy version, reachability subgraph, signatures, feed snapshot hashes, delta verdict
+* Everything referenced by digest and replay manifest
+
+UX: a single button “Generate Audit Pack”, plus “Replay locally” instructions.
+
+## 12) Attestation Viewer that non-cryptographers can use
+
+Most attestation UIs are unreadable. Make it layered:
+
+* “Verified / Unverified” summary
+* Key identity, algorithm, timestamp
+* What was attested (subject digest, predicate type)
+* Links: “open raw DSSE JSON”, “copy digest”, “compare to current”
+
+If you do crypto-sovereign modes (GOST/SM/eIDAS/FIPS), show algorithm badges and validation source.
+
+## 13) Proof-of-Integrity Graph as a drill-down, not a science project
+
+Graph UI should answer one question: “Can I trust this artifact lineage?”
+
+Provide:
+
+* A minimal lineage chain by default: Source → Build → SBOM → VEX → Scan Verdict → Deploy
+* Expand nodes on click (don’t render the whole universe)
+* Confidence meter derived from signed links and trusted issuers
+
+## 14) “Remedy Plan” that is evidence-aware, not generic advice
+
+Fix guidance must reflect reachability and delta:
+
+* If reachable: prioritize patch/upgrade, show “patch removes reachable path” expectation
+* If not reachable: propose mitigation or deferred SLA with justification
+* Show “impact of upgrade” (packages touched, images affected, services impacted)
+* Output as a signed remediation recommendation (optional) to align with your “signed, replayable risk verdicts”
+
+## 15) Fleet view as a “blast radius map”
+
+Instead of listing images, show impact.
+
+For any CVE or component:
+
+* “Affected in prod: 3 services, 9 images”
+* “Reachable in: service A only”
+* “Blocked by policy in: env X”
+* “Deployed where: cluster/zone topology”
+
+This is where your topology-aware model becomes a real UX advantage.
+
+## 16) Quiet-by-design notifications with explainable suppression
+
+Noise reduction must be visible and justifiable.
+
+* “Suppressed because: not reachable + no exploit + already covered by exception”
+* “Unsuppressed because: delta introduced + reachable”
+* Configurable digests: daily/weekly “risk delta summary” per environment
+
+## 17) “Replay” button everywhere (determinism as UX)
+
+If determinism is a moat, expose it in the UI.
+
+Every verdict includes:
+
+* Inputs hash set (feeds, policies, rules, artifact digests)
+* “Replay this verdict” action producing the same output
+* “Compare replay to current” diff
+
+This alone will differentiate Stella Ops from most scanners, because it changes trust dynamics.
+
+## 18) Two modes: Operator Mode and Auditor Mode
+
+Same data, different defaults:
+
+* Operator: minimal, fastest path to action (shortest reachability path, top blockers, bulk triage)
+* Auditor: complete provenance, signatures, manifests, policy traces, export tools
+
+A toggle at the top avoids building two products.
+
+## 19) Small but lethal interaction details
+
+These are easy wins that compound:
+
+* Copyable digests everywhere (one-click)
+* “Pin evidence” to attach specific proof artifacts to tickets/exceptions
+* “Open in context” links (jump from vulnerability → impacted services → release gate)
+* Bulk actions that preserve proof (bulk mark “accepted vendor VEX” still produces an attested batch action record)
+
+## 20) Default screen: “Release Gate Summary” (not “Vulns”)
+
+For real-world teams, the primary question is: “Can I ship this release?”
+
+A release summary card:
+
+* Delta verdict (new blockers, fixed blockers, unknowns delta)
+* Risk budget consumption
+* Required actions + owners
+* Signed gate decision output
+
+This ties scanner UX directly to deployment reality.
+
+If you want, I can turn these into a concrete navigation map (pages, routes, primary components) plus a UI contract for each object (Claim, Evidence, Verdict, Snapshot, Exception, Audit Pack) so your agents can implement it consistently across web + API.

+Here’s a practical, from‑scratch blueprint for a **two‑stage reachability map** that turns low‑level runtime facts into auditable, reproducible evidence for triage and VEX decisions.
+
+---
+
+# What this is (plain English)
+
+* **Goal:** prove (or rule out) whether a vulnerable function/package could actually run in *your* build and deployment.
+* **How:**
+
+  1. extract **binary‑level call targets** (what functions your program *could* call),
+  2. map those targets onto **symbol graphs** (named functions/classes/modules),
+  3. correlate those symbols with **SBOM components** (which package/image layer they live in),
+  4. store each “slice” of reachability as a **signed attestation** so anyone can replay and verify it.
+
+---
+
+# Stage A — Binary → Symbol graph
+
+* **Inputs:** built artifacts (ELF/COFF/Mach‑O), debug symbols (when available), stripped bins, and language runtimes.
+* **Process (per artifact):**
+
+  * Parse binaries (headers, sections, symbol tables, relocations).
+  * Recover call edges:
+
+    * Direct calls: disassemble; record `caller -> callee`.
+    * Indirect calls: resolve via PLT/IAT/vtables; fall back to conservative points‑to sets.
+    * Dynamic loading: log `dlopen/LoadLibrary` + exported symbol usage heuristics.
+  * Normalize to **Symbol Graph**: nodes = `{binary, symbol, addr, hash}`, edges = `CALLS`.
+* **Outputs:** `symbol-graph.jsonl` (+ compact binary form), content‑addressed by hash.
+
+# Stage B — Symbol graph ↔ SBOM components
+
+* **Inputs:** CycloneDX/SPDX SBOM for the image/build; file→component mapping (path→pkg).
+* **Process:**
+
+  * For each symbol: derive file path (or Build‑ID) → map to SBOM component/version/layer.
+  * Build **Component Reachability Graph**:
+
+    * nodes = `{component@version}`, edges = “component provides symbol X used by Y”.
+    * annotate with file hashes, Build‑IDs, container layer digests.
+* **Outputs:** `reachability-slices/COMPONENT@VERSION.slice.json` (per impacted component).
+
+# Attestable “slice” (the evidence object)
+
+Each slice is a minimal proof unit answering: *“This vulnerable symbol is (or isn’t) on a feasible path at runtime in build X.”*
+
+* **Contents:**
+
+  * Scan manifest (tool versions, ruleset hashes, feed versions).
+  * Inputs digests (binaries, SBOM, container layers).
+  * The subgraph (only nodes/edges needed).
+  * Query + result (e.g., “is `openssl:EVP_PKEY_decrypt` reachable from any exported entrypoint?”).
+* **Format:** DSSE + in‑toto statement, stored as OCI artifact or file; **deterministic** (same inputs → same bytes).
+
+# Triage flow (how it helps today)
+
+* Given CVE → map to symbols/functions → check reachability slice:
+
+  * **Reachable path found:** mark “affected (reachable)”, include call chain and components; raise priority.
+  * **No path / gated by feature flag:** mark “not affected (unreachable/mitigated)”, with proof chain.
+  * **Unknowns present:** fail‑safe policy (e.g., “unknowns > N → block prod”) with explicit unknown edges listed.
+
+# Minimal data model (JSON hints)
+
+* `Symbol`: `{ id, name, demangled, addr, file_sha256, build_id }`
+* `Edge`: `{ src_symbol_id, dst_symbol_id, kind: "direct"|"plt"|"indirect" }`
+* `Mapping`: `{ file_sha256|build_id -> component_purl, layer_digest, path }`
+* `Slice`: `{ inputs:{…}, query:{…}, subgraph:{symbols:[…],edges:[…]}, verdict:"reachable"|"unreachable"|"unknown" }`
+
+# Determinism & replay
+
+* Pin **everything**: disassembler version, rules, demangler options, container digests, SBOM doc hash, symbolization flags.
+* Emit a **Scan Manifest** with content hashes; store alongside slices.
+* Provide a `replay` command that re‑hydrates inputs and re‑computes the slice; byte‑for‑byte match required.
+
+# Where this plugs into Stella Ops (suggested modules)
+
+* **Sbomer**: component/file mapping & SBOM import.
+* **Scanner.webservice**: binary parse & call‑graph extraction (keep lattice/policy elsewhere per your rule).
+* **Vexer/Policy Engine**: consume slices as evidence for “affected/not‑affected” claims.
+* **Attestor/Authority**: sign DSSE/in‑toto statements; push to OCI.
+* **Timeline/Notify**: surface verdict deltas over time, link to slices.
+
+# Guardrails & fallbacks
+
+* If stripped binaries: prefer Build‑ID + external symbol servers; else conservative over‑approx (mark unknown).
+* For JIT/dynamic plugins: capture runtime traces (eBPF/ETW) and merge as **observed edges** with timestamps.
+* Mixed‑lang stacks: unify by file hash + symbol name mangling rules per toolchain.
+
+# Quick implementation plan (6 sprints)
+
+1. **Binary ingest**: ELF/PE/Mach‑O parsing, Build‑ID hashing, symbol tables, PLT/IAT resolution.
+2. **Call‑edge recovery**: direct calls, basic indirect resolution, slice extractor by entrypoint.
+3. **SBOM mapping**: file→component map, layer digests, purl normalization.
+4. **Evidence format**: DSSE/in‑toto schema, deterministic manifests, OCI storage.
+5. **Queries & policies**: “is‑reachable?” API, unknowns budget, feature‑flag conditions, VEX plumbing.
+6. **Runtime merge**: optional eBPF/ETW traces → annotate edges, produce “observed‑path” slices.
+
+# Lightweight APIs (sketch)
+
+* `POST /reachability/query { cve, symbols[], entrypoints[], policy } -> slice+verdict`
+* `GET /slice/{digest}` -> attested slice
+* `POST /replay { slice_digest }` -> match | mismatch (with diff)
+
+# Small example (CVE → symbol mapping)
+
+* `CVE‑XXXX‑YYYY` → advisory lists function `foo_decrypt` in `libfoo.so`
+* We resolve `libfoo.so` Build‑ID in image, find symbols that match demangled name, build call paths from service entrypoints; if path exists, slice is “reachable” with 3–7 hop chain; otherwise “unreachable” with reasons (no import, stripped at link‑time, dead code eliminated, or gated by `FEATURE_X=false`).
+
+# Costs (rough, for planning inside Stella Ops)
+
+* **Core parsing & graph**: 3–4 engineer‑weeks
+* **Indirect calls & heuristics**: +3–5 weeks
+* **SBOM mapping & layers**: 2 weeks
+* **Attestations & OCI storage**: 1–2 weeks
+* **Policy/VEX integration & UI surfacing**: 2–3 weeks
+* **Runtime trace merge (optional)**: 2–4 weeks
+  *(Parallelizable; add 25–40% for hardening/tests.)*
+
+If you want, I can turn this into:
+
+* a concrete **.NET 10 service skeleton** (endpoints + data contracts),
+* a **DSSE/in‑toto schema** for the slice, and
+* a **dev checklist** for deterministic builds and replay harness.

+Here’s a simple, big‑picture primer on how a modern, verifiable supply‑chain security platform fits together—and what each part does—before we get into the practical wiring and artifacts.
+
+---
+
+# Topology & trust boundaries (plain‑English)
+
+Think of the system as four layers, each with a clear job and a cryptographic handshake between them:
+
+1. **Edge** (where users & CI/CD touch the system)
+
+* **StellaRouter / UI** receive requests, authenticate users/agents (OAuth2/OIDC), and fan them into the control plane.
+* Trust boundary: everything from the outside must present signed credentials/attestations before it’s allowed deeper.
+
+2. **Control Plane** (brains & policy)
+
+* **Scheduler**: queues and routes work (scan this image, verify that build, recompute reachability, etc.).
+* **Policy Engine**: evaluates SBOMs, VEX, and signals against policies (“ship/block/defer”) and produces **signed, replayable verdicts**.
+* **Authority**: key custody & identity (who can sign what).
+* **Attestor**: issues DSSE/in‑toto attestations for scans, verdicts, and exports.
+* **Timeline / Notify**: immutable audit log + notifications.
+* Trust boundary: only evidence and identities blessed here can influence decisions.
+
+3. **Evidence Plane** (facts, not opinions)
+
+* **Sbomer**: builds SBOMs from images/binaries/source (CycloneDX 1.6 / SPDX 3.0.1).
+* **Excititor**: runs scanners/executors (code, binary, OS, language deps, “what’s installed” on hosts).
+* **Concelier**: correlates advisories, VEX claims, reachability, EPSS, exploit telemetry.
+* **Reachability / Signals**: computes “is the vulnerable code actually reachable here?” plus runtime/infra signals.
+* Trust boundary: raw evidence is tamper‑evident and separately signed; opinions live in policy/verdicts, not here.
+
+4. **Data Plane** (do the heavy lifting)
+
+* Horizontal workers/scanners that pull tasks, do the compute, and emit artifacts and attestations.
+* Trust boundary: workers are isolated per tenant; outputs are always tied to inputs via cryptographic subjects.
+
+---
+
+# Artifact association & tenant isolation (why OCI referrers matter)
+
+* Every image/artifact becomes a **subject** in the registry.
+* SBOMs, VEX, reachability slices, and verdicts are published as **OCI referrers** that point back to that subject (no guessing or loose coupling).
+* This lets you attach **multiple, versioned, signed facts** to the same build without altering the image itself.
+* Tenants stay cryptographically separate: different keys, different trust roots, different namespaces.
+
+---
+
+# Interfaces, dataflows & provenance hooks (what flows where)
+
+* **Workers emit**:
+
+  * **SBOMs** in CycloneDX 1.6 and/or SPDX 3.0.1.
+  * **VEX claims** (affected/not‑affected, under‑investigation, fixed).
+  * **Reachability subgraphs** (the minimal “slice” proving a vuln is or isn’t callable in this build).
+  * All wrapped as **DSSE/in‑toto attestations** and **attached via OCI referrers** to the image digest.
+* **Policy Engine**:
+
+  * Ingests SBOM/VEX/reachability/signals, applies rules, and emits a **signed verdict** (OCI‑attached).
+  * Verdicts are **replayable**: same inputs → same output, with the exact inputs hashed and referenced.
+* **Timeline**:
+
+  * Stores an **audit‑ready record** of who ran what, with which inputs, producing which attestations and verdicts.
+
+---
+
+# Why this design helps in real life
+
+* **Audits become trivial**: point an auditor at the image digest; they can fetch all linked SBOMs/VEX/attestations/verdicts and replay the decision.
+* **Noise collapses**: reachability + VEX + policy means you block only what matters for *this* build in *this* environment.
+* **Multi‑tenant safety**: each customer’s artifacts and keys are isolated; strong boundaries reduce blast radius.
+* **No vendor lock‑in**: OCI referrers and open schemas (CycloneDX/SPDX/in‑toto/DSSE) let you interoperate.
+
+---
+
+# Minimal “starter” policy you can adopt Day‑1
+
+* **Gate** on any CVE with reachability=“reachable” AND severity ≥ High, unless a trusted VEX source says “not affected” with required evidence hooks (e.g., feature flag off, code path pruned).
+* **Fail on unknowns** above a threshold (e.g., >N packages with missing metadata).
+* **Require** signed SBOM + signed verdict for prod deploys; store both in Timeline.
+
+---
+
+# Quick glossary
+
+* **SBOM**: Software Bill of Materials (what’s inside).
+* **VEX**: Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange (is a CVE actually relevant?).
+* **Reachability**: graph proof that vulnerable code is (not) callable.
+* **DSSE / in‑toto**: standardized ways to sign and describe supply‑chain steps and their outputs.
+* **OCI referrers**: a registry mechanism to hang related artifacts (SBOMs, attestations, verdicts) off an image digest.
+
+---
+
+# A tiny wiring sketch
+
+```
+User/CI → Router/UI → Scheduler ─→ Workers (Sbomer/Excititor)
+                          │             │
+                          │             └─→ emit SBOM/VEX/reachability (DSSE, OCI-referrers)
+                          │
+                   Policy Engine ──→ signed verdict (OCI-referrer)
+                          │
+                 Timeline/Notify (immutable audit, alerts)
+```
+
+If you want, I can turn this into a one‑pager architecture card, plus a checklist your PMs/engineers can use to validate each trust boundary and artifact flow in your Stella Ops setup.

+Here’s a compact, practical plan to harden Stella Ops around **offline‑ready security evidence and deterministic verdicts**, with just enough background so it all clicks.
+
+---
+
+# Why this matters (quick primer)
+
+* **Air‑gapped/offline**: Many customers can’t reach public feeds or registries. Your scanners, SBOM tooling, and attestations must work with **pre‑synced bundles** and prove what data they used.
+* **Interoperability**: Teams mix tools (Syft/Grype/Trivy, cosign, CycloneDX/SPDX). Your CI should **round‑trip** SBOMs and attestations end‑to‑end and prove that downstream consumers (e.g., Grype) can load them.
+* **Determinism**: Auditors expect **“same inputs → same verdict.”** Capture inputs, policies, and feed hashes so a verdict is exactly reproducible later.
+* **Operational guardrails**: Shipping gates should fail early on **unknowns** and apply **backpressure** gracefully when load spikes.
+
+---
+
+# E2E test themes to add (what to build)
+
+1. **Air‑gapped operation e2e**
+
+* Package “offline bundle” (vuln feeds, package catalogs, policy/lattice rules, certs, keys).
+* Run scans (containers, OS, language deps, binaries) **without network**.
+* Assert: SBOMs generated, attestations signed/verified, verdicts emitted.
+* Evidence: manifest of bundle contents + hashes in the run log.
+
+2. **Interop round‑trips (SBOM ⇄ attestation ⇄ scanner)**
+
+* Produce SBOM (CycloneDX 1.6 and SPDX 3.0.1) with Syft.
+* Create **DSSE/cosign** attestation for that SBOM.
+* Verify consumer tools:
+
+  * **Grype** scans **from SBOM** (no image pull) and respects attestations.
+  * Verdict references the exact SBOM digest and attestation chain.
+* Assert: consumers load, validate, and produce identical findings vs direct scan.
+
+3. **Replayability (delta‑verdicts + strict replay)**
+
+* Store input set: artifact digest(s), SBOM digests, policy version, feed digests, lattice rules, tool versions.
+* Re‑run later; assert **byte‑identical verdict** and same “delta‑verdict” when inputs unchanged.
+
+4. **Unknowns‑budget policy gates**
+
+* Inject controlled “unknown” conditions (missing CPE mapping, unresolved package source, unparsed distro).
+* Gate: **fail build if unknowns > budget** (e.g., prod=0, staging≤N).
+* Assert: UI, CLI, and attestation all record unknown counts and gate decision.
+
+5. **Attestation round‑trip & validation**
+
+* Produce: build‑provenance (in‑toto/DSSE), SBOM attest, VEX attest, final **verdict attest**.
+* Verify: signature (cosign), certificate chain, time‑stamping, Rekor‑style (or mirror) inclusion when online; cached proofs when offline.
+* Assert: each attestation is linked in the verdict’s evidence index.
+
+6. **Router backpressure chaos (HTTP 429/503 + Retry‑After)**
+
+* Load tests that trigger per‑instance and per‑environment limits.
+* Assert: clients back off per **Retry‑After**, queues drain, no data loss, latencies bounded; UI shows throttling reason.
+
+7. **UI reducer tests for reachability & VEX chips**
+
+* Component tests: large SBOM graphs, focused **reachability subgraphs**, and VEX status chips (affected/not‑affected/under‑investigation).
+* Assert: stable rendering under 50k+ nodes; interactions remain <200 ms.
+
+---
+
+# Next‑week checklist (do these now)
+
+1. **Delta‑verdict replay tests**: golden corpus; lock tool+feed versions; assert bit‑for‑bit verdict.
+2. **Unknowns‑budget gates in CI**: policy + failing examples; surface in PR checks and UI.
+3. **SBOM attestation round‑trip**: Syft → cosign attest → Grype consume‑from‑SBOM; verify signatures & digests.
+4. **Router backpressure chaos**: scripted spike; verify 429/503 + Retry‑After handling and metrics.
+5. **UI reducer tests**: reachability graph snapshots; VEX chip states; regression suite.
+
+---
+
+# Minimal artifacts to standardize (so tests are boring—good!)
+
+* **Offline bundle spec**: `bundle.json` with content digests (feeds, policies, keys).
+* **Evidence manifest**: machine‑readable index linking verdict → SBOM digest → attestation IDs → tool versions.
+* **Delta‑verdict schema**: captures before/after graph deltas, rule evals, and final gate result.
+* **Unknowns taxonomy**: codes (e.g., `PKG_SOURCE_UNKNOWN`, `CPE_AMBIG`) with severities and budgets.
+
+---
+
+# CI wiring (quick sketch)
+
+* **Jobs**: `offline-e2e`, `interop-e2e`, `replayable-verdicts`, `unknowns-gate`, `router-chaos`, `ui-reducers`.
+* **Matrix**: {Debian/Alpine/RHEL‑like} × {amd64/arm64} × {CycloneDX/SPDX}.
+* **Cache discipline**: pin tool versions, vendor feeds to content‑addressed store.
+
+---
+
+# Fast success criteria (green = done)
+
+* Can run **full scan + attest + verify** with **no network**.
+* Re‑running a fixed input set yields **identical verdict**.
+* Grype (from SBOM) matches image scan results within tolerance.
+* Builds auto‑fail when **unknowns budget exceeded**.
+* Router under burst emits **correct Retry‑After** and recovers cleanly.
+* UI handles huge graphs; VEX chips never desync from evidence.
+
+If you want, I’ll turn this into GitLab/Gitea pipeline YAML + a tiny sample repo (image, SBOM, policies, and goldens) so your team can plug‑and‑play.
+Below is a complete, end-to-end testing strategy for Stella Ops that turns your moats (offline readiness, deterministic replayable verdicts, lattice/policy decisioning, attestation provenance, unknowns budgets, router backpressure, UI reachability evidence) into continuously verified guarantees.
+
+---
+
+## 1) Non-negotiable test principles
+
+### 1.1 Determinism as a testable contract
+
+A scan/verdict is *deterministic* iff **same inputs → byte-identical outputs** across time and machines (within defined tolerances like timestamps captured as evidence, not embedded in payload order).
+
+**Determinism controls (must be enforced by tests):**
+
+* Canonical JSON (stable key order, stable array ordering where semantically unordered).
+* Stable sorting for:
+
+  * packages/components
+  * vulnerabilities
+  * edges in graphs
+  * evidence lists
+* Time is an *input*, never implicit:
+
+  * stamp times in a dedicated evidence field; never affect hashing/verdict evaluation.
+* PRNG uses explicit seed; seed stored in run manifest.
+* Tool versions + feed digests + policy versions are inputs.
+* Locale/encoding invariants: UTF-8 everywhere; invariant culture in .NET.
+
+### 1.2 Offline by default
+
+Every CI job (except explicitly tagged “online”) runs with **no egress**.
+
+* Offline bundle is mandatory input for scanning.
+* Any attempted network call fails the test (proves air-gap compliance).
+
+### 1.3 Evidence-first validation
+
+No assertion is “verdict == pass” without verifying the chain of evidence:
+
+* verdict references SBOM digest(s)
+* SBOM references artifact digest(s)
+* VEX claims reference vulnerabilities + components + reachability evidence
+* attestations verify cryptographically and chain to configured roots.
+
+### 1.4 Interop is required, not “nice to have”
+
+Stella Ops must round-trip with:
+
+* SBOM: CycloneDX 1.6 and SPDX 3.0.1
+* Attestation: DSSE / in-toto style envelopes, cosign-compatible flows
+* Consumer scanners: at least Grype from SBOM; ideally Trivy as cross-check
+
+Interop tests are treated as “compatibility contracts” and block releases.
+
+### 1.5 Architectural boundary enforcement (your standing rule)
+
+* Lattice/policy merge algorithms run **in `scanner.webservice`**.
+* `Concelier` and `Excitors` must “preserve prune source”.
+  This is enforced with tests that detect forbidden behavior (see §6.2).
+
+---
+
+## 2) The test portfolio (what kinds of tests exist)
+
+Think “coverage by risk”, not “coverage by lines”.
+
+### 2.1 Test layers and what they prove
+
+1. **Unit tests** (fast, deterministic)
+
+* Canonicalization, hashing, semantic version range ops
+* Graph delta algorithms
+* Policy rule evaluation primitives
+* Unknowns taxonomy + budgeting math
+* Evidence index assembly
+
+2. **Property-based tests** (FsCheck)
+
+* “Reordering inputs does not change verdict hash”
+* “Graph merge is associative/commutative where policy declares it”
+* “Unknowns budgets always monotonic with missing evidence”
+* Parser robustness: arbitrary JSON for SBOM/VEX envelopes never crashes
+
+3. **Component tests** (service + Postgres; optional Valkey)
+
+* `scanner.webservice` lattice merge and replay
+* Feed loader and cache behavior (offline feeds)
+* Router backpressure decision logic
+* Attestation verification modules
+
+4. **Contract tests** (API compatibility)
+
+* OpenAPI/JSON schema compatibility for public endpoints
+* Evidence manifest schema backward compatibility
+* OCI artifact layout compatibility (attestation attachments)
+
+5. **Integration tests** (multi-service)
+
+* Router → scanner.webservice → attestor → storage
+* Offline bundle import/export
+* Knowledge snapshot “time travel” replay pipeline
+
+6. **End-to-end tests** (realistic flows)
+
+* scan an image → generate SBOM → produce attestations → decision verdict → UI evidence extraction
+* interop consumers load SBOM and confirm findings parity
+
+7. **Non-functional tests**
+
+* Performance & scale (throughput, memory, large SBOM graphs)
+* Chaos/fault injection (DB restarts, queue spikes, 429/503 backpressure)
+* Security tests (fuzzers, decompression bomb defense, signature bypass resistance)
+
+---
+
+## 3) Hermetic test harness (how tests run)
+
+### 3.1 Standard test profiles
+
+You already decided: **Postgres is system-of-record**, **Valkey is ephemeral**.
+
+Define two mandatory execution profiles in CI:
+
+1. **Default**: Postgres + Valkey
+2. **Air-gapped minimal**: Postgres only
+
+Both must pass.
+
+### 3.2 Environment isolation
+
+* Containers started with **no network** unless a test explicitly declares “online”.
+* For Kubernetes e2e: apply a default-deny egress NetworkPolicy.
+
+### 3.3 Golden corpora repository (your “truth set”)
+
+Create a versioned `stellaops-test-corpus/` containing:
+
+* container images (or image tarballs) pinned by digest
+* SBOM expected outputs (CycloneDX + SPDX)
+* VEX examples (vendor/distro/internal)
+* vulnerability feed snapshots (pinned digests)
+* policies + lattice rules + unknown budgets
+* expected verdicts + delta verdicts
+* reachability subgraphs as evidence
+* negative fixtures: malformed SPDX, corrupted DSSE, missing digests, unsupported distros
+
+Every corpus item includes a **Run Manifest** (see §4).
+
+### 3.4 Artifact retention in CI
+
+Every failing integration/e2e test uploads:
+
+* run manifest
+* offline bundle manifest + hashes
+* logs (structured)
+* produced SBOMs
+* attestations
+* verdict + delta verdict
+* evidence index
+
+This turns failures into audit-grade reproductions.
+
+---
+
+## 4) Core artifacts that tests must validate
+
+### 4.1 Run Manifest (replay key)
+
+A scan run is defined by:
+
+* artifact digests (image/config/layers, or binary hash)
+* SBOM digests produced/consumed
+* vuln feed snapshot digest(s)
+* policy version + lattice rules digest
+* tool versions (scanner, parsers, reachability engine)
+* crypto profile (roots, key IDs, algorithm set)
+* environment profile (postgres-only vs postgres+valkey)
+* seed + canonicalization version
+
+**Test invariant:** re-running the same manifest produces **byte-identical verdict** and **same evidence references**.
+
+### 4.2 Offline Bundle Manifest
+
+Bundle includes:
+
+* feeds + indexes
+* policies + lattice rule sets
+* trust roots, intermediate CAs, timestamp roots (as needed)
+* crypto provider modules (for sovereign readiness)
+* optional: Rekor mirror snapshot / inclusion proofs cache
+
+**Test invariant:** offline scan is blocked if bundle is missing required parts; error is explicit and counts as “unknown” only where policy says so.
+
+### 4.3 Evidence Index
+
+The verdict is not the product; the product is verdict + evidence graph:
+
+* pointers to SBOM, VEX, reachability proofs, attestations
+* their digests and verification status
+* unknowns list with codes + remediation hints
+
+**Test invariant:** every “not affected” claim has required evidence hooks per policy (“because feature flag off” etc.), otherwise becomes unknown/fail.
+
+---
+
+## 5) Required E2E flows (minimum set)
+
+These are your release blockers.
+
+### Flow A: Air-gapped scan and verdict
+
+* Inputs: image tarball + offline bundle
+* Network: disabled
+* Output: SBOM (CycloneDX + SPDX), attestations, verdict
+* Assertions:
+
+  * no network calls occurred
+  * verdict references bundle digest + feed snapshot digest
+  * unknowns within budget
+  * evidence index complete
+
+### Flow B: SBOM interop round-trip
+
+* Produce SBOM via your pipeline
+* Attach SBOM attestation (DSSE/cosign format)
+* Consumer (Grype-from-SBOM) reads SBOM and produces findings
+* Assertions:
+
+  * consumer can parse SBOM
+  * findings parity within defined tolerance
+  * verdict references exact SBOM digest used by consumer
+
+### Flow C: Deterministic replay
+
+* Run scan → store run manifest + outputs
+* Run again from same manifest
+* Assertions:
+
+  * verdict bytes identical
+  * evidence index identical (except allowed “execution metadata” section)
+  * delta verdict is “empty delta”
+
+### Flow D: Diff-aware delta verdict (smart-diff)
+
+* Two versions of same image with controlled change (one dependency bump)
+* Assertions:
+
+  * delta verdict contains only changed nodes/edges
+  * risk budget computation based on delta matches expected
+  * signed delta verdict validates and is OCI-attached
+
+### Flow E: Unknowns budget gates
+
+* Inject unknowns (unmapped package, missing distro metadata, ambiguous CPE)
+* Policy:
+
+  * prod budget = 0
+  * staging budget = N
+* Assertions:
+
+  * prod fails, staging passes
+  * unknowns appear in attestation and UI evidence
+
+### Flow F: Router backpressure under burst
+
+* Spike requests to a single router instance + environment bucket
+* Assertions:
+
+  * 429/503 with Retry-After emitted correctly
+  * clients backoff; no request loss
+  * metrics expose throttling reasons
+
+### Flow G: Evidence export (“audit pack”)
+
+* Run scan
+* Export a sealed audit pack (bundle + run manifest + evidence + verdict)
+* Import elsewhere (clean environment)
+* Assertions:
+
+  * replay produces identical verdict
+  * signatures verify under imported trust roots
+
+---
+
+## 6) Module-specific test requirements
+
+### 6.1 `scanner.webservice` (lattice + policy decisioning)
+
+Must have:
+
+* unit tests for lattice merge algebra
+* property tests: declared commutativity/associativity/idempotency
+* integration tests that merge vendor/distro/internal VEX and confirm precedence rules are policy-driven
+
+**Critical invariant tests:**
+
+* “Vendor > distro > internal” must be demonstrably *configurable*, and wrong merges must fail deterministically.
+
+### 6.2 Boundary enforcement: Concelier & Excitors preserve prune source
+
+Add a “behavioral boundary suite”:
+
+* instrument events/telemetry that records where merges happened
+* feed in conflicting VEX claims and assert:
+
+  * Concelier/Excitors do not resolve conflicts; they retain provenance and “prune source”
+  * only `scanner.webservice` produces the final merged semantics
+
+If Concelier/Excitors output a resolved claim, the test fails.
+
+### 6.3 `Router` backpressure and DPoP/nonce rate limiting
+
+* deterministic unit tests for token bucket math
+* time-controlled tests (virtual clock)
+* integration tests with Valkey + Postgres-only fallbacks
+* chaos tests: Valkey down → router degrades gracefully (local per-instance limiter still works)
+
+### 6.4 Storage (Postgres) + Valkey accelerator
+
+* migration tests: schema upgrades forward/backward in CI
+* replay tests: Postgres-only profile yields same verdict bytes
+* consistency tests: Valkey cache misses never change decision outcomes, only latency
+
+### 6.5 UI evidence rendering
+
+* reducer snapshot tests for:
+
+  * reachability subgraph rendering (large graphs)
+  * VEX chip states: affected/not-affected/under-investigation/unknown
+* performance budgets:
+
+  * large graph render under threshold (define and enforce)
+* contract tests against evidence index schema
+
+---
+
+## 7) Non-functional test program
+
+### 7.1 Performance and scale tests
+
+Define standard workloads:
+
+* small image (200 packages)
+* medium (2k packages)
+* large (20k+ packages)
+* “monorepo container” worst case (50k+ nodes graph)
+
+Metrics collected:
+
+* p50/p95/p99 scan time
+* memory peak
+* DB write volume
+* evidence pack size
+* router throughput + throttle rate
+
+Add regression gates:
+
+* no more than X% slowdown in p95 vs baseline
+* no more than Y% growth in evidence pack size for unchanged inputs
+
+### 7.2 Chaos and reliability
+
+Run chaos suites weekly/nightly:
+
+* kill scanner during run → resume/retry semantics deterministic
+* restart Postgres mid-run → job fails with explicit retryable state
+* corrupt offline bundle file → fails with typed error, not crash
+* burst router + slow downstream → confirms backpressure not meltdown
+
+### 7.3 Security robustness tests
+
+* fuzz parsers: SPDX, CycloneDX, VEX, DSSE envelopes
+* zip/tar bomb defenses (artifact ingestion)
+* signature bypass attempts:
+
+  * mismatched digest
+  * altered payload with valid signature on different content
+  * wrong root chain
+* SSRF defense: any URL fields in SBOM/VEX are treated as data, never fetched in offline mode
+
+---
+
+## 8) CI/CD gating rules (what blocks a release)
+
+Release candidate is blocked if any of these fail:
+
+1. All mandatory E2E flows (§5) pass in both profiles:
+
+   * Postgres-only
+   * Postgres+Valkey
+
+2. Deterministic replay suite:
+
+   * zero non-deterministic diffs in verdict bytes
+   * allowed diff list is explicit and reviewed
+
+3. Interop suite:
+
+   * CycloneDX 1.6 and SPDX 3.0.1 round-trips succeed
+   * consumer scanner compatibility tests pass
+
+4. Risk budgets + unknowns budgets:
+
+   * must pass on corpus, and no regressions against baseline
+
+5. Backpressure correctness:
+
+   * Retry-After compliance and throttle metrics validated
+
+6. Performance regression budgets:
+
+   * no breach of p95/memory budgets on standard workloads
+
+7. Flakiness threshold:
+
+   * if a test flakes more than N times per week, it is quarantined *and* release is blocked until a deterministic root cause is established (quarantine is allowed only for non-blocking suites, never for §5 flows)
+
+---
+
+## 9) Implementation blueprint (how to build this test program)
+
+### Phase 0: Harness and corpus
+
+* Stand up test harness: docker compose + Testcontainers (.NET xUnit)
+* Create corpus repo with 10–20 curated artifacts
+* Implement run manifest + evidence index capture in all tests
+
+### Phase 1: Determinism and replay
+
+* canonicalization utilities + golden verdict bytes
+* replay runner that loads manifest and replays end-to-end
+* add property-based tests for ordering and merge invariants
+
+### Phase 2: Offline e2e + interop
+
+* offline bundle builder + strict “no egress” enforcement
+* SBOM attestation round-trip + consumer parsing suite
+
+### Phase 3: Unknowns budgets + delta verdict
+
+* unknown taxonomy everywhere (UI + attestations)
+* delta verdict generation and signing
+* diff-aware release gates
+
+### Phase 4: Backpressure + chaos + performance
+
+* router throttle chaos suite
+* scale tests with standard workloads and baselines
+
+### Phase 5: Audit packs + time-travel snapshots
+
+* sealed export/import
+* one-command replay for auditors
+
+---
+
+## 10) What you should standardize immediately
+
+If you do only three things, do these:
+
+1. **Run Manifest** as first-class test artifact
+2. **Golden corpus** that pins all digests (feeds, policies, images, expected outputs)
+3. **“No egress” default** in CI with explicit opt-in for online tests
+
+Everything else becomes far easier once these are in place.
+
+---
+
+If you want, I can also produce a concrete repository layout and CI job matrix (xUnit categories, docker compose profiles, artifact retention conventions, and baseline benchmark scripts) that matches .NET 10 conventions and your Postgres/Valkey profiles.

@@ -0,0 +1,469 @@
+Below are implementation-grade guidelines for Stella Ops Product Managers (PMs) and Development Managers (Eng Managers / Tech Leads) for two tightly coupled capabilities:
+
+1. **Exception management as auditable objects** (not suppression files)
+2. **Audit packs** (exportable, verifiable evidence bundles for releases and environments)
+
+The intent is to make these capabilities:
+
+* operationally useful (reduce friction in CI/CD and runtime governance),
+* defensible in audits (tamper-evident, attributable, time-bounded), and
+* consistent with Stella Ops’ positioning around determinism, evidence, and replayability.
+
+---
+
+# 1. Shared objectives and boundaries
+
+## 1.1 Objectives
+
+These two capabilities must jointly enable:
+
+* **Risk decisions are explicit**: Every “ignore/suppress/waive” is a governed decision with an owner and expiry.
+* **Decisions are replayable**: If an auditor asks “why did you ship this on date X?”, Stella Ops can reproduce the decision using the same policy + evidence + knowledge snapshot.
+* **Decisions are exportable and verifiable**: Audit packs include the minimum necessary artifacts and a manifest that allows independent verification of integrity and completeness.
+* **Operational friction is reduced**: Teams can ship safely with controlled exceptions, rather than ad-hoc suppressions, while retaining accountability.
+
+## 1.2 Out of scope (explicitly)
+
+Avoid scope creep early. The following are out of scope for v1 unless mandated by a target customer:
+
+* Full GRC mapping to specific frameworks (you can *support evidence*; don’t claim compliance).
+* Fully automated approvals based on HR org charts.
+* Multi-year archival systems (start with retention, export, and immutable event logs).
+* A “ticketing system replacement.” Integrate with ticketing; don’t rebuild it.
+
+---
+
+# 2. Shared design principles (non-negotiables)
+
+These principles apply to both Exception Objects and Audit Packs:
+
+1. **Attribution**: every action has an authenticated actor identity (human or service), a timestamp, and a reason.
+2. **Immutability of history**: edits are new versions/events; never rewrite history in place.
+3. **Least privilege scope**: exceptions must be as narrow as possible (artifact digest over tag; component purl over “any”; environment constraints).
+4. **Time-bounded risk**: exceptions must expire. “Permanent ignore” is a governance smell.
+5. **Deterministic evaluation**: given the same policy + snapshot + exceptions + inputs, the outcome is stable and reproducible.
+6. **Separation of concerns**:
+
+   * Exception store = governed decisions.
+   * Scanner = evidence producer.
+   * Policy engine = deterministic evaluator.
+   * Audit packer = exporter/assembler/verifier.
+
+---
+
+# 3. Exception management as auditable objects
+
+## 3.1 What an “Exception Object” is
+
+An Exception Object is a structured, versioned record that modifies evaluation behavior *in a controlled manner*, while leaving the underlying findings intact.
+
+It is not:
+
+* a local `.ignore` file,
+* a hidden suppression rule,
+* a UI-only toggle,
+* a vendor-specific “ignore list” with no audit trail.
+
+### Exception types you should support (minimum set)
+
+PMs should start with these canonical types:
+
+1. **Vulnerability exception**
+
+   * suppress/waive a specific vulnerability finding (e.g., CVE/CWE) under defined scope.
+2. **Policy exception**
+
+   * allow a policy rule to be bypassed under defined scope (e.g., “allow unsigned artifact for dev namespace”).
+3. **Unknown-state exception** (if Stella models unknowns)
+
+   * allow a release despite unresolved unknowns, with explicit risk acceptance.
+4. **Component exception**
+
+   * allow/deny a component/package/version across a domain, again with explicit scope and expiry.
+
+## 3.2 Required fields and schema guidelines
+
+PMs: mandate these fields; Eng: enforce them at API and storage level.
+
+### Required fields (v1)
+
+* **exception_id** (stable identifier)
+* **version** (monotonic; or event-sourced)
+* **status**: proposed | approved | active | expired | revoked
+* **owner** (accountable person/team)
+* **requester** (who initiated)
+* **approver(s)** (who approved; may be empty for dev environments depending on policy)
+* **created_at / updated_at / approved_at / expires_at**
+* **scope** (see below)
+* **reason_code** (taxonomy)
+* **rationale** (free text, required)
+* **evidence_refs** (optional in v1 but strongly recommended)
+* **risk_acceptance** (explicit boolean or structured “risk accepted” block)
+* **links** (ticket ID, PR, incident, vendor advisory reference) – optional but useful
+* **audit_log_refs** (implicit if event-sourced)
+
+### Scope model (critical to defensibility)
+
+Scope must be structured and narrowable. Provide scope dimensions such as:
+
+* **Artifact scope**: image digest, SBOM digest, build provenance digest (preferred)
+  (Avoid tags as primary scope unless paired with immutability constraints.)
+* **Component scope**: purl + version range + ecosystem
+* **Vulnerability scope**: CVE ID(s), GHSA, internal ID; optionally path/function/symbol constraints
+* **Environment scope**: cluster/namespace, runtime env (dev/stage/prod), repository, project, tenant
+* **Time scope**: expires_at (required), optional “valid_from”
+
+PM guideline: default UI and API should encourage digest-based scope and warn on broad scopes.
+
+## 3.3 Reason codes (taxonomy)
+
+Reason codes are a moat because they enable governance analytics and policy automation.
+
+Minimum suggested taxonomy:
+
+* **FALSE_POSITIVE** (with evidence expectations)
+* **NOT_REACHABLE** (reachable proof preferred)
+* **NOT_AFFECTED** (VEX-backed preferred)
+* **BACKPORT_FIXED** (package/distro evidence preferred)
+* **COMPENSATING_CONTROL** (link to control evidence)
+* **RISK_ACCEPTED** (explicit sign-off)
+* **TEMPORARY_WORKAROUND** (link to mitigation plan)
+* **VENDOR_PENDING** (under investigation)
+* **BUSINESS_EXCEPTION** (rare; requires stronger approval)
+
+PM guideline: reason codes must be selectable and reportable; do not allow “Other” as the default.
+
+## 3.4 Evidence attachments
+
+Exceptions should evolve from “justification-only” to “justification + evidence.”
+
+Evidence references can point to:
+
+* VEX statements (OpenVEX/CycloneDX VEX)
+* reachability proof fragments (call-path subgraph, symbol references)
+* distro advisories / patch references
+* internal change tickets / mitigation PRs
+* runtime mitigations
+
+Eng guideline: store evidence as references with integrity checks (hash/digest). For v2+, store evidence bundles as content-addressed blobs.
+
+## 3.5 Lifecycle and workflows
+
+### Lifecycle states and transitions
+
+* **Proposed** → **Approved** → **Active** → (**Expired** or **Revoked**)
+* **Renewal** should create a **new version** (never extend an old record silently).
+
+### Approvals
+
+PM guideline:
+
+* At least two approval modes:
+
+  1. **Self-approved** (allowed only for dev/experimental scopes)
+  2. **Two-person review** (required for prod or broad scope)
+
+Eng guideline:
+
+* Enforce approval rules via policy config (not hard-coded).
+* Record every approval action with actor identity and timestamp.
+
+### Expiry enforcement
+
+Non-negotiable:
+
+* Expired exceptions must stop applying automatically.
+* Renewals require an explicit action and new audit trail.
+
+## 3.6 Evaluation semantics (how exceptions affect results)
+
+This is where most products become non-auditable. You need deterministic, explicit rules.
+
+PM guideline: define precedence clearly:
+
+* Policy engine evaluates baseline findings → applies exceptions → produces verdict.
+* Exceptions never delete underlying findings; they alter the *decision outcome* and annotate the reasoning.
+
+Eng guideline: exception application must be:
+
+* **Deterministic** (stable ordering rules)
+* **Transparent** (verdict includes “exception applied: exception_id, reason_code, scope match explanation”)
+* **Scoped** (match explanation must state which scope dimensions matched)
+
+## 3.7 Auditability requirements
+
+Exception management must be audit-ready by construction.
+
+Minimum requirements:
+
+* **Append-only event log** for create/approve/revoke/expire/renew actions
+* **Versioning**: every change results in a new version or event
+* **Tamper-evidence**: hash chain events or sign event batches
+* **Retention**: define retention policy and export strategy
+
+PM guideline: auditors will ask “who approved,” “why,” “when,” “what scope,” and “what changed since.” Design the UX and exports to answer those in minutes.
+
+## 3.8 UX guidelines
+
+Key UX flows:
+
+* **Create exception from a finding** (pre-fill CVE/component/artifact scope)
+* **Preview impact** (“this will suppress 37 findings across 12 images; are you sure?”)
+* **Expiry visibility** (countdown, alerts, renewal prompts)
+* **Audit trail view** (who did what, with diffs between versions)
+* **Search and filters** by owner, reason, expiry window, scope breadth, environment
+
+UX anti-patterns to forbid:
+
+* “Ignore all vulnerabilities in this image” with one click
+* Silent suppressions without owner/expiry
+* Exceptions created without linking to scope and reason
+
+## 3.9 Product acceptance criteria (PM-owned)
+
+A feature is not “done” until:
+
+* Every exception has owner, expiry, reason code, scope.
+* Exception history is immutable and exportable.
+* Policy outcomes show applied exceptions and why.
+* Expiry is enforced automatically.
+* A user can answer: “What exceptions were active for this release?” within 2 minutes.
+
+---
+
+# 4. Audit packs
+
+## 4.1 What an audit pack is
+
+An Audit Pack is a **portable, verifiable bundle** that answers:
+
+* What was evaluated? (artifacts, versions, identities)
+* Under what policies? (policy version/config)
+* Using what knowledge state? (vuln DB snapshot, VEX inputs)
+* What exceptions were applied? (IDs, owners, rationales)
+* What was the decision and why? (verdict + evidence pointers)
+* What changed since the last release? (optional diff summary)
+
+PM guideline: treat the Audit Pack as a product deliverable, not an export button.
+
+## 4.2 Pack structure (recommended)
+
+Use a predictable, documented layout. Example:
+
+* `manifest.json`
+
+  * pack_id, generated_at, generator_version
+  * hashes/digests of every included file
+  * signing info (optional in v1; recommended soon)
+* `inputs/`
+
+  * artifact identifiers (digests), repo references (optional)
+  * SBOM(s) (CycloneDX/SPDX)
+* `vex/`
+
+  * VEX docs used + any VEX produced
+* `policy/`
+
+  * policy bundle used (versioned)
+  * evaluation settings
+* `exceptions/`
+
+  * all exceptions relevant to the evaluated scope
+  * plus event logs / versions
+* `findings/`
+
+  * normalized findings list
+  * reachability evidence fragments if applicable
+* `verdict/`
+
+  * final decision object
+  * explanation summary
+  * signed attestation (if supported)
+* `diff/` (optional)
+
+  * delta from prior baseline (what changed materially)
+
+## 4.3 Formats: human and machine
+
+You need both:
+
+* **Machine-readable** (JSON + standard SBOM/VEX formats) for verification and automation
+* **Human-readable** summary (HTML or PDF) for auditors and leadership
+
+PM guideline: machine artifacts are the source of truth. Human docs are derived views.
+
+Eng guideline:
+
+* Ensure the pack can be generated **offline**.
+* Ensure deterministic outputs where feasible (stable ordering, consistent serialization).
+
+## 4.4 Integrity and verification
+
+At minimum:
+
+* `manifest.json` includes a digest for each file.
+* Provide a `stella verify-pack` CLI that checks:
+
+  * manifest integrity
+  * file hashes
+  * schema versions
+  * optional signature verification
+
+For v2:
+
+* Sign the manifest (and/or the verdict) using your standard attestation mechanism.
+
+## 4.5 Confidentiality and redaction
+
+Audit packs often include sensitive data (paths, internal package names, repo URLs).
+
+PM guideline:
+
+* Provide **redaction profiles**:
+
+  * external auditor pack (minimal identifiers)
+  * internal audit pack (full detail)
+* Provide encryption options (password/recipient keys) if packs leave the environment.
+
+Eng guideline:
+
+* Redaction must be deterministic and declarative (policy-based).
+* Pack generation must not leak secrets from raw scan logs.
+
+## 4.6 Pack generation workflow
+
+Key product flows:
+
+* Generate pack for:
+
+  * a specific artifact digest
+  * a release (set of digests)
+  * an environment snapshot (e.g., cluster inventory)
+  * a date range (for audit period)
+* Trigger sources:
+
+  * UI
+  * API
+  * CI pipeline step
+
+Engineering:
+
+* Treat pack generation as an async job (queue + status endpoint).
+* Cache pack components when inputs are identical (avoid repeated work).
+
+## 4.7 What must be included (minimum viable audit pack)
+
+PMs should enforce that v1 includes:
+
+* Artifact identity
+* SBOM(s) or component inventory
+* Findings list (normalized)
+* Policy bundle reference + policy content
+* Exceptions applied (full object + version info)
+* Final verdict + explanation summary
+* Integrity manifest with file hashes
+
+Add these when available (v1.5+):
+
+* VEX inputs and outputs
+* Knowledge snapshot references
+* Reachability evidence fragments
+* Diff summary vs prior release
+
+## 4.8 Product acceptance criteria (PM-owned)
+
+Audit Packs are not “done” until:
+
+* A third party can validate the pack contents haven’t been altered (hash verification).
+* The pack answers “why did this pass/fail?” including exceptions applied.
+* Packs can be generated without external network calls (air-gap friendly).
+* Packs support redaction profiles.
+* Pack schema is versioned and backward compatible.
+
+---
+
+# 5. Cross-cutting: roles, responsibilities, and delivery checkpoints
+
+## 5.1 Responsibilities
+
+**Product Manager**
+
+* Define exception types and required fields
+* Define reason code taxonomy and governance policies
+* Define approval rules by environment and scope breadth
+* Define audit pack templates, profiles, and export targets
+* Own acceptance criteria and audit usability testing
+
+**Development Manager / Tech Lead**
+
+* Own event model (immutability, versioning, retention)
+* Own policy evaluation semantics and determinism guarantees
+* Own integrity and signing design (manifest hashes, optional signatures)
+* Own performance and scalability targets (pack generation and query latency)
+* Own secure storage and access controls (RBAC, tenant isolation)
+
+## 5.2 Deliverables checklist (for each capability)
+
+For “Exception Objects”:
+
+* PRD + threat model (abuse cases: blanket waivers, privilege escalation)
+* Schema spec + versioning policy
+* API endpoints + RBAC model
+* UI flows + audit trail UI
+* Policy engine semantics + test vectors
+* Metrics dashboards
+
+For “Audit Packs”:
+
+* Pack schema spec + folder layout
+* Manifest + hash verification rules
+* Generator service + async job API
+* Redaction profiles + tests
+* Verifier CLI + documentation
+* Performance benchmarks + caching strategy
+
+---
+
+# 6. Common failure modes to actively prevent
+
+1. **Exceptions become suppressions again**
+   If you allow exceptions without expiry/owner or without audit trail, you’ve rebuilt “ignore lists.”
+
+2. **Over-broad scopes by default**
+   If “all repos/all images” is easy, you will accumulate permanent waivers and lose credibility.
+
+3. **No deterministic semantics**
+   If the same artifact can pass/fail depending on evaluation order or transient feed updates, auditors will distrust outputs.
+
+4. **Audit packs that are reports, not evidence**
+   A PDF without machine-verifiable artifacts is not an audit pack—it’s a slide.
+
+5. **No renewal discipline**
+   If renewals are frictionless and don’t require re-justification, exceptions never die.
+
+---
+
+# 7. Recommended phased rollout (to manage build cost)
+
+**Phase 1: Governance basics**
+
+* Exception object schema + lifecycle + expiry enforcement
+* Create-from-finding UX
+* Audit pack v1 (SBOM/inventory + findings + policy + exceptions + manifest)
+
+**Phase 2: Evidence binding**
+
+* Evidence refs on exceptions (VEX, reachability fragments)
+* Pack includes VEX inputs/outputs and knowledge snapshot identifiers
+
+**Phase 3: Verifiable trust**
+
+* Signed verdicts and/or signed pack manifests
+* Verifier tooling and deterministic replay hooks
+
+---
+
+If you want, I can convert the above into two artifacts your teams can execute against immediately:
+
+1. A concise **PRD template** (sections + required decisions) for Exceptions and Audit Packs
+2. A **technical spec outline** (schema definitions, endpoints, state machines, and acceptance test vectors)

+## Guidelines for Product and Development Managers: Signed, Replayable Risk Verdicts
+
+### Purpose
+
+Signed, replayable risk verdicts are the Stella Ops mechanism for producing a **cryptographically verifiable, audit‑ready decision** about an artifact (container image, VM image, filesystem snapshot, SBOM, etc.) that can be **recomputed later to the same result** using the same inputs (“time-travel replay”).
+
+This capability is not “scan output with a signature.” It is a **decision artifact** that becomes the unit of governance in CI/CD, registry admission, and audits.
+
+---
+
+# 1) Shared definitions and non-negotiables
+
+## 1.1 Definitions
+
+**Risk verdict**
+A structured decision: *Pass / Fail / Warn / Needs‑Review* (or similar), produced by a deterministic evaluator under a specific policy and knowledge state.
+
+**Signed**
+The verdict is wrapped in a tamper‑evident envelope (e.g., DSSE/in‑toto statement) and signed using an organization-approved trust model (key-based, keyless, or offline CA).
+
+**Replayable**
+Given the same:
+
+* target artifact identity
+* SBOM (or derivation method)
+* vulnerability and advisory knowledge state
+* VEX inputs
+* policy bundle
+* evaluator version
+  …Stella Ops can **re-evaluate and reproduce the same verdict** and provide evidence equivalence.
+
+> Critical nuance: replayability is about *result equivalence*. Byte‑for‑byte equality is ideal but not always required if signatures/metadata necessarily vary. If byte‑for‑byte is a goal, you must strictly control timestamps, ordering, and serialization.
+
+---
+
+## 1.2 Non-negotiables (what must be true in v1)
+
+1. **Verdicts are bound to immutable artifact identity**
+
+   * Container image: digest (sha256:…)
+   * SBOM: content digest
+   * File tree: merkle root digest, or equivalent
+
+2. **Verdicts are deterministic**
+
+   * No “current time” dependence in scoring
+   * No non-deterministic ordering of findings
+   * No implicit network calls during evaluation
+
+3. **Verdicts are explainable**
+
+   * Every deny/block decision must cite the policy clause and evidence pointers that triggered it.
+
+4. **Verdicts are verifiable**
+
+   * Independent verification toolchain exists (CLI/library) that validates signature and checks referenced evidence integrity.
+
+5. **Knowledge state is pinned**
+
+   * The verdict references a “knowledge snapshot” (vuln feeds, advisories, VEX set) by digest/ID, not “latest.”
+
+---
+
+## 1.3 Explicit non-goals (avoid scope traps)
+
+* Building a full CNAPP runtime protection product as part of verdicting.
+* Implementing “all possible attestation standards.” Pick one canonical representation; support others via adapters.
+* Solving global revocation and key lifecycle for every ecosystem on day one; define a minimum viable trust model per deployment mode.
+
+---
+
+# 2) Product Management Guidelines
+
+## 2.1 Position the verdict as the primary product artifact
+
+**PM rule:** if a workflow does not end in a verdict artifact, it is not part of this moat.
+
+Examples:
+
+* CI pipeline step produces `VERDICT.attestation` attached to the OCI artifact.
+* Registry admission checks for a valid verdict attestation meeting policy.
+* Audit export bundles the verdict plus referenced evidence.
+
+**Avoid:** “scan reports” as the goal. Reports are views; the verdict is the object.
+
+---
+
+## 2.2 Define the core personas and success outcomes
+
+Minimum personas:
+
+1. **Release/Platform Engineering**
+
+   * Needs automated gates, reproducibility, and low friction.
+2. **Security Engineering / AppSec**
+
+   * Needs evidence, explainability, and exception workflows.
+3. **Audit / Compliance**
+
+   * Needs replay, provenance, and a defensible trail.
+
+Define “first value” for each:
+
+* Release engineer: gate merges/releases without re-running scans.
+* Security engineer: investigate a deny decision with evidence pointers in minutes.
+* Auditor: replay a verdict months later using the same knowledge snapshot.
+
+---
+
+## 2.3 Product requirements (expressed as “shall” statements)
+
+### 2.3.1 Verdict content requirements
+
+A verdict SHALL contain:
+
+* **Subject**: immutable artifact reference (digest, type, locator)
+* **Decision**: pass/fail/warn/etc.
+* **Policy binding**: policy bundle ID + version + digest
+* **Knowledge snapshot binding**: snapshot IDs/digests for vuln feed and VEX set
+* **Evaluator binding**: evaluator name/version + schema version
+* **Rationale summary**: stable short explanation (human-readable)
+* **Findings references**: pointers to detailed findings/evidence (content-addressed)
+* **Unknowns state**: explicit unknown counts and categories
+
+### 2.3.2 Replay requirements
+
+The product SHALL support:
+
+* Re-evaluating the same subject under the same policy+knowledge snapshot
+* Proving equivalence of inputs used in the original verdict
+* Producing a “replay report” that states:
+
+  * replay succeeded and matched
+  * or replay failed and why (e.g., missing evidence, policy changed)
+
+### 2.3.3 UX requirements
+
+UI/UX SHALL:
+
+* Show verdict status clearly (Pass/Fail/…)
+* Display:
+
+  * policy clause(s) responsible
+  * top evidence pointers
+  * knowledge snapshot ID
+  * signature trust status (who signed, chain validity)
+* Provide “Replay” as an action (even if replay happens offline, the UX must guide it)
+
+---
+
+## 2.4 Product taxonomy: separate “verdicts” from “evaluations” from “attestations”
+
+This is where many products get confused. Your terminology must remain strict:
+
+* **Evaluation**: internal computation that produces decision + findings.
+* **Verdict**: the stable, canonical decision payload (the thing being signed).
+* **Attestation**: the signed envelope binding the verdict to cryptographic identity.
+
+PMs must enforce this vocabulary in PRDs, UI labels, and docs.
+
+---
+
+## 2.5 Policy model guidelines for verdicting
+
+Verdicting depends on policy discipline.
+
+PM rules:
+
+* Policy must be **versioned** and **content-addressed**.
+* Policies must be **pure functions** of declared inputs:
+
+  * SBOM graph
+  * VEX claims
+  * vulnerability data
+  * reachability evidence (if present)
+  * environment assertions (if present)
+* Policies must produce:
+
+  * a decision
+  * plus a minimal explanation graph (policy rule ID → evidence IDs)
+
+Avoid “freeform scripts” early. You need determinism and auditability.
+
+---
+
+## 2.6 Exceptions are part of the verdict product, not an afterthought
+
+PM requirement:
+
+* Exceptions must be first-class objects with:
+
+  * scope (exact artifact/component range)
+  * owner
+  * justification
+  * expiry
+  * required evidence (optional but strongly recommended)
+
+And verdict logic must:
+
+* record that an exception was applied
+* include exception IDs in the verdict evidence graph
+* make exception usage visible in UI and audit pack exports
+
+---
+
+## 2.7 Success metrics (PM-owned)
+
+Choose metrics that reflect the moat:
+
+* **Replay success rate**: % of verdicts that can be replayed after N days.
+* **Policy determinism incidents**: number of non-deterministic evaluation bugs.
+* **Audit cycle time**: time to satisfy an audit evidence request for a release.
+* **Noise**: # of manual suppressions/overrides per 100 releases (should drop).
+* **Gate adoption**: % of releases gated by verdict attestations (not reports).
+
+---
+
+# 3) Development Management Guidelines
+
+## 3.1 Architecture principles (engineering tenets)
+
+### Tenet A: Determinism-first evaluation
+
+Engineering SHALL ensure evaluation is deterministic across:
+
+* OS and architecture differences (as much as feasible)
+* concurrency scheduling
+* non-ordered data structures
+
+Practical rules:
+
+* Never iterate over maps/hashes without sorting keys.
+* Canonicalize output ordering (findings sorted by stable tuple: (component_id, cve_id, path, rule_id)).
+* Keep “generated at” timestamps out of the signed payload; if needed, place them in an unsigned wrapper or separate metadata field excluded from signature.
+
+### Tenet B: Content-address everything
+
+All significant inputs/outputs should have content digests:
+
+* SBOM digest
+* policy digest
+* knowledge snapshot digest
+* evidence bundle digest
+* verdict digest
+
+This makes replay and integrity checks possible.
+
+### Tenet C: No hidden network
+
+During evaluation, the engine must not fetch “latest” anything.
+Network is allowed only in:
+
+* snapshot acquisition phase
+* artifact retrieval phase
+* attestation publication phase
+  …and each must be explicitly logged and pinned.
+
+---
+
+## 3.2 Canonical verdict schema and serialization rules
+
+**Engineering guideline:** pick a canonical serialization and stick to it.
+
+Options:
+
+* Canonical JSON (JCS or equivalent)
+* CBOR with deterministic encoding
+
+Rules:
+
+* Define a **schema version** and strict validation.
+* Make field names stable; avoid “optional” fields that appear/disappear nondeterministically.
+* Ensure numeric formatting is stable (no float drift; prefer integers or rational representation).
+* Always include empty arrays if required for stability, or exclude consistently by schema rule.
+
+---
+
+## 3.3 Suggested verdict payload (illustrative)
+
+This is not a mandate—use it as a baseline structure.
+
+```json
+{
+  "schema_version": "1.0",
+  "subject": {
+    "type": "oci-image",
+    "name": "registry.example.com/app/service",
+    "digest": "sha256:…",
+    "platform": "linux/amd64"
+  },
+  "evaluation": {
+    "evaluator": "stella-eval",
+    "evaluator_version": "0.9.0",
+    "policy": {
+      "id": "prod-default",
+      "version": "2025.12.1",
+      "digest": "sha256:…"
+    },
+    "knowledge_snapshot": {
+      "vuln_db_digest": "sha256:…",
+      "advisory_digest": "sha256:…",
+      "vex_set_digest": "sha256:…"
+    }
+  },
+  "decision": {
+    "status": "fail",
+    "score": 87,
+    "reasons": [
+      { "rule_id": "RISK.CRITICAL.REACHABLE", "evidence_ref": "sha256:…" }
+    ],
+    "unknowns": {
+      "unknown_reachable": 2,
+      "unknown_unreachable": 0
+    }
+  },
+  "evidence": {
+    "sbom_digest": "sha256:…",
+    "finding_bundle_digest": "sha256:…",
+    "inputs_manifest_digest": "sha256:…"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Then wrap this payload in your chosen attestation envelope and sign it.
+
+---
+
+## 3.4 Attestation format and storage guidelines
+
+Development managers must enforce a consistent publishing model:
+
+1. **Envelope**
+
+   * Prefer DSSE/in-toto style envelope because it:
+
+     * standardizes signing
+     * supports multiple signature schemes
+     * is widely adopted in supply chain ecosystems
+
+2. **Attachment**
+
+   * OCI artifacts should carry verdicts as referrers/attachments to the subject digest (preferred).
+   * For non-OCI targets, store in an internal ledger keyed by the subject digest/ID.
+
+3. **Verification**
+
+   * Provide:
+
+     * `stella verify <artifact>` → checks signature and integrity references
+     * `stella replay <verdict>` → re-run evaluation from snapshots and compare
+
+4. **Transparency / logs**
+
+   * Optional in v1, but plan for:
+
+     * transparency log (public or private) to strengthen auditability
+     * offline alternatives for air-gapped customers
+
+---
+
+## 3.5 Knowledge snapshot engineering requirements
+
+A “snapshot” must be an immutable bundle, ideally content-addressed:
+
+Snapshot includes:
+
+* vulnerability database at a specific point
+* advisory sources (OS distro advisories)
+* VEX statement set(s)
+* any enrichment signals that influence scoring
+
+Rules:
+
+* Snapshot resolution must be explicit: “use snapshot digest X”
+* Must support export/import for air-gapped deployments
+* Must record source provenance and ingestion timestamps (timestamps may be excluded from signed payload if they cause nondeterminism; store them in snapshot metadata)
+
+---
+
+## 3.6 Replay engine requirements
+
+Replay is not “re-run scan and hope it matches.”
+
+Replay must:
+
+* retrieve the exact subject (or confirm it via digest)
+* retrieve the exact SBOM (or deterministically re-generate it from the subject in a defined way)
+* load exact policy bundle by digest
+* load exact knowledge snapshot by digest
+* run evaluator version pinned in verdict (or enforce a compatibility mapping)
+* produce:
+
+  * verdict-equivalence result
+  * a delta explanation if mismatch occurs
+
+Engineering rule: replay must fail loudly and specifically when inputs are missing.
+
+---
+
+## 3.7 Testing strategy (required)
+
+Deterministic systems require “golden” testing.
+
+Minimum tests:
+
+1. **Golden verdict tests**
+
+   * Fixed artifact + fixed snapshots + fixed policy
+   * Expected verdict output must match exactly
+
+2. **Cross-platform determinism tests**
+
+   * Run same evaluation on different machines/containers and compare outputs
+
+3. **Mutation tests for determinism**
+
+   * Randomize ordering of internal collections; output should remain unchanged
+
+4. **Replay regression tests**
+
+   * Store verdict + snapshots and replay after code changes to ensure compatibility guarantees hold
+
+---
+
+## 3.8 Versioning and backward compatibility guidelines
+
+This is essential to prevent “replay breaks after upgrades.”
+
+Rules:
+
+* **Verdict schema version** changes must be rare and carefully managed.
+* Maintain a compatibility matrix:
+
+  * evaluator vX can replay verdict schema vY
+* If you must evolve logic, do so by:
+
+  * bumping evaluator version
+  * preserving older evaluators in a compatibility mode (containerized evaluators are often easiest)
+
+---
+
+## 3.9 Security and key management guidelines
+
+Development managers must ensure:
+
+* Signing keys are managed via:
+
+  * KMS/HSM (enterprise)
+  * keyless (OIDC-based) where acceptable
+  * offline keys for air-gapped
+
+* Verification trust policy is explicit:
+
+  * which identities are trusted to sign verdicts
+  * which policies are accepted
+  * whether transparency is required
+  * how to handle revocation/rotation
+
+* Separate “can sign” from “can publish”
+
+  * Signing should be restricted; publishing may be broader.
+
+---
+
+# 4) Operational workflow requirements (cross-functional)
+
+## 4.1 CI gate flow
+
+* Build artifact
+* Produce SBOM deterministically (or record SBOM digest if generated elsewhere)
+* Evaluate → produce verdict payload
+* Sign verdict → publish attestation attached to artifact
+* Gate decision uses verification of:
+
+  * signature validity
+  * policy compliance
+  * snapshot integrity
+
+## 4.2 Registry / admission flow
+
+* Admission controller checks for a valid, trusted verdict attestation
+* Optionally requires:
+
+  * verdict not older than X snapshot age (this is policy)
+  * no expired exceptions
+  * replay not required (replay is for audits; admission is fast-path)
+
+## 4.3 Audit flow
+
+* Export “audit pack”:
+
+  * verdict + signature chain
+  * policy bundle
+  * knowledge snapshot
+  * referenced evidence bundles
+* Auditor (or internal team) runs `verify` and optionally `replay`
+
+---
+
+# 5) Common failure modes to avoid
+
+1. **Signing “findings” instead of a decision**
+
+   * Leads to unbounded payload growth and weak governance semantics.
+
+2. **Using “latest” feeds during evaluation**
+
+   * Breaks replayability immediately.
+
+3. **Embedding timestamps in signed payload**
+
+   * Eliminates deterministic byte-level reproducibility.
+
+4. **Letting the UI become the source of truth**
+
+   * The verdict artifact must be the authority; UI is a view.
+
+5. **No clear separation between: evidence store, snapshot store, verdict store**
+
+   * Creates coupling and makes offline operations painful.
+
+---
+
+# 6) Definition of Done checklist (use this to gate release)
+
+A feature increment for signed, replayable verdicts is “done” only if:
+
+* [ ] Verdict binds to immutable subject digest
+* [ ] Verdict includes policy digest/version and knowledge snapshot digests
+* [ ] Verdict is signed and verifiable via CLI
+* [ ] Verification works offline (given exported artifacts)
+* [ ] Replay works with stored snapshots and produces match/mismatch output with reasons
+* [ ] Determinism tests pass (golden + mutation + cross-platform)
+* [ ] UI displays signer identity, policy, snapshot IDs, and rule→evidence links
+* [ ] Exceptions (if implemented) are recorded in verdict and enforced deterministically
+
+---
+
+## Optional: Recommended implementation sequence (keeps risk down)
+
+1. Canonical verdict schema + deterministic evaluator skeleton
+2. Signing + verification CLI
+3. Snapshot bundle format + pinned evaluation
+4. Replay tool + golden tests
+5. OCI attachment publishing + registry/admission integration
+6. Evidence bundles + UI explainability
+7. Exceptions + audit pack export
+
+---
+
+If you want this turned into a formal internal PRD template, I can format it as:
+
+* “Product requirements” (MUST/SHOULD/COULD)
+* “Engineering requirements” (interfaces + invariants + test plan)
+* “Security model” (trust roots, signing identities, verification policy)
+* “Acceptance criteria” for an MVP and for GA

+Enable Stella Ops to **reproduce any historical risk decision** (scan result, policy evaluation, verdict) **deterministically**, using a **cryptographically bound snapshot** of the exact knowledge inputs that were available at the time the decision was made.
+
+### Why customers pay for it
+
+This capability is primarily purchased for:
+
+* **Auditability**: “Show me what you knew, when you knew it, and why the system decided pass/fail.”
+* **Incident response**: reproduce prior posture using historical feeds/VEX/policies and explain deltas.
+* **Air‑gapped / regulated environments**: deterministic, offline decisioning with attested knowledge state.
+* **Change control**: prove whether a decision changed due to code change vs knowledge change.
+
+### Core product promise
+
+For a given artifact and snapshot:
+
+* **Same inputs → same outputs** (verdict, scores, findings, evidence pointers), or Stella Ops must clearly declare the precise exceptions.
+
+---
+
+## 2) Definitions (PMs and engineers must align on these)
+
+### Knowledge input
+
+Any external or semi-external information that can influence the outcome:
+
+* vulnerability databases and advisories (any source)
+* exploit-intel signals
+* VEX statements (OpenVEX, CSAF, CycloneDX VEX, etc.)
+* SBOM ingestion logic and parsing rules
+* package identification rules (including distro/backport logic)
+* policy content and policy engine version
+* scoring rules (including weights and thresholds)
+* trust anchors and signature verification policy
+* plugin versions and enabled capabilities
+* configuration defaults and overrides that change analysis
+
+### Knowledge Snapshot
+
+A **sealed record** of:
+
+1. **References** (which inputs were used), and
+2. **Content** (the exact bytes used), and
+3. **Execution contract** (the evaluator and ruleset versions)
+
+### Time‑Travel Replay
+
+Re-running evaluation of an artifact **using only** the snapshot content and the recorded execution contract, producing the same decision and explainability artifacts.
+
+---
+
+## 3) Product principles (non‑negotiables)
+
+1. **Determinism is a product requirement**, not an engineering detail.
+2. **Snapshots are first‑class artifacts** with explicit lifecycle (create, verify, export/import, retain, expire).
+3. **The snapshot is cryptographically bound** to outcomes and evidence (tamper-evident chain).
+4. **Replays must be possible offline** (when the snapshot includes content) and must fail clearly when not possible.
+5. **Minimal surprise**: the UI must explain when a verdict changed due to “knowledge drift” vs “artifact drift.”
+6. **Scalability by content addressing**: the platform must deduplicate knowledge content aggressively.
+7. **Backward compatibility**: old snapshots must remain replayable within a documented support window.
+
+---
+
+## 4) Scope boundaries (what this is not)
+
+### Non-goals (explicitly out of scope for v1 unless approved)
+
+* Reconstructing *external internet state* beyond what is recorded (no “fetch historical CVE state from the web”).
+* Guaranteeing replay across major engine rewrites without a compatibility plan.
+* Storing sensitive proprietary customer code in snapshots (unless explicitly enabled).
+* Replaying “live runtime signals” unless those signals were captured into the snapshot at decision time.
+
+---
+
+## 5) Personas and use cases (PM guidance)
+
+### Primary personas
+
+* **Security Governance / GRC**: needs audit packs, controls evidence, deterministic history.
+* **Incident response / AppSec lead**: needs “what changed and why” quickly.
+* **Platform engineering / DevOps**: needs reproducible CI gates and air‑gap workflows.
+* **Procurement / regulated customers**: needs proof of process and defensible attestations.
+
+### Must-support use cases
+
+1. **Replay a past release gate decision** in a new environment (including offline) and get identical outcome.
+2. **Explain drift**: “This build fails today but passed last month—why?”
+3. **Air‑gap export/import**: create snapshots in connected environment, import to disconnected one.
+4. **Audit bundle generation**: export snapshot + verdict(s) + evidence pointers.
+
+---
+
+## 6) Functional requirements (PM “must/should” list)
+
+### Must
+
+* **Snapshot creation** for every material evaluation (or for every “decision object” chosen by configuration).
+* **Snapshot manifest** containing:
+
+  * unique snapshot ID (content-addressed)
+  * list of knowledge sources with hashes/digests
+  * policy IDs and exact policy content hashes
+  * engine version and plugin versions
+  * timestamp and clock source metadata
+  * trust anchor set hash and verification policy hash
+* **Snapshot sealing**:
+
+  * snapshot manifest is signed
+  * signed link from verdict → snapshot ID
+* **Replay**:
+
+  * re-evaluate using only snapshot inputs
+  * output must match prior results (or emit a deterministic mismatch report)
+* **Export/import**:
+
+  * portable bundle format
+  * import verifies integrity and signatures before allowing use
+* **Retention controls**:
+
+  * configurable retention windows and storage quotas
+  * deduplication and garbage collection
+
+### Should
+
+* **Partial snapshots** (reference-only) vs **full snapshots** (content included), with explicit replay guarantees.
+* **Diff views**: compare two snapshots and highlight what knowledge changed.
+* **Multi-snapshot replay**: run “as-of snapshot A” and “as-of snapshot B” to show drift impact.
+
+### Could
+
+* Snapshot “federation” for large orgs (mirrors/replication with policy controls).
+* Snapshot “pinning” to releases or environments as a governance policy.
+
+---
+
+## 7) UX and workflow guidelines (PM + Eng)
+
+### UI must communicate three states clearly
+
+1. **Reproducible offline**: snapshot includes all required content.
+2. **Reproducible with access**: snapshot references external sources that must be available.
+3. **Not reproducible**: missing content or unsupported evaluator version.
+
+### Required UI objects
+
+* **Snapshot Details page**
+
+  * snapshot ID and signature status
+  * list of knowledge sources (name, version/epoch, digest, size)
+  * policy bundle version, scoring rules version
+  * trust anchors + verification policy digest
+  * replay status: “verified reproducible / reproducible / not reproducible”
+* **Verdict page**
+
+  * links to snapshot(s)
+  * “replay now” action
+  * “compare to latest knowledge” action
+
+### UX guardrails
+
+* Never show “pass/fail” without also showing:
+
+  * snapshot ID
+  * policy ID/version
+  * verification status
+* When results differ on replay, show:
+
+  * exact mismatch class (engine mismatch, missing data, nondeterminism, corrupted snapshot)
+  * what input changed (if known)
+  * remediation steps
+
+---
+
+## 8) Data model and format guidelines (Development Managers)
+
+### Canonical objects (recommended minimum set)
+
+* **KnowledgeSnapshotManifest (KSM)**
+* **KnowledgeBlob** (content-addressed bytes)
+* **KnowledgeSourceDescriptor**
+* **PolicyBundle**
+* **TrustBundle**
+* **Verdict** (signed decision artifact)
+* **ReplayReport** (records replay result and mismatches)
+
+### Content addressing
+
+* Use a stable hash (e.g., SHA‑256) for:
+
+  * each knowledge blob
+  * manifest
+  * policy bundle
+  * trust bundle
+* Snapshot ID should be derived from manifest digest.
+
+### Example manifest shape (illustrative)
+
+```json
+{
+  "snapshot_id": "ksm:sha256:…",
+  "created_at": "2025-12-19T10:15:30Z",
+  "engine": { "name": "stella-evaluator", "version": "1.7.0", "build": "…"},
+  "plugins": [
+    { "name": "pkg-id", "version": "2.3.1", "digest": "sha256:…" }
+  ],
+  "policy": { "bundle_id": "pol:sha256:…", "digest": "sha256:…" },
+  "scoring": { "ruleset_id": "score:sha256:…", "digest": "sha256:…" },
+  "trust": { "bundle_id": "trust:sha256:…", "digest": "sha256:…" },
+  "sources": [
+    {
+      "name": "nvd",
+      "epoch": "2025-12-18",
+      "kind": "vuln_feed",
+      "content_digest": "sha256:…",
+      "licenses": ["…"],
+      "origin": { "uri": "…", "retrieved_at": "…" }
+    },
+    {
+      "name": "customer-vex",
+      "kind": "vex",
+      "content_digest": "sha256:…"
+    }
+  ],
+  "environment": {
+    "determinism_profile": "strict",
+    "timezone": "UTC",
+    "normalization": { "line_endings": "LF", "sort_order": "canonical" }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Versioning rules
+
+* Every object is immutable once written.
+* Changes create new digests; never mutate in place.
+* Support schema evolution via:
+
+  * `schema_version`
+  * strict validation + migration tooling
+* Keep manifests small; store large data as blobs.
+
+---
+
+## 9) Determinism contract (Engineering must enforce)
+
+### Determinism requirements
+
+* Stable ordering: sort inputs and outputs canonically.
+* Stable timestamps: timestamps may exist but must not change computed scores/verdict.
+* Stable randomization: no RNG; if unavoidable, fixed seed recorded in snapshot.
+* Stable parsers: parser versions are pinned by digest; parsing must be deterministic.
+
+### Allowed nondeterminism (if any) must be explicit
+
+If you must allow nondeterminism, it must be:
+
+* documented,
+* surfaced in UI,
+* included in replay report as “non-deterministic factor,”
+* and excluded from the signed decision if it affects pass/fail.
+
+---
+
+## 10) Security model (Development Managers)
+
+### Threats this feature must address
+
+* Feed poisoning (tampered vulnerability data)
+* Time-of-check/time-of-use drift (same artifact evaluated against moving feeds)
+* Replay manipulation (swap snapshot content)
+* “Policy drift hiding” (claiming old decision used different policies)
+* Signature bypass (trust anchors altered)
+
+### Controls required
+
+* Sign manifests and verdicts.
+* Bind verdict → snapshot ID → policy bundle hash → trust bundle hash.
+* Verify on every import and on every replay invocation.
+* Audit log:
+
+  * snapshot created
+  * snapshot imported
+  * replay executed
+  * verification failures
+
+### Key handling
+
+* Decide and document:
+
+  * who signs snapshots/verdicts (service keys vs tenant keys)
+  * rotation policy
+  * revocation/compromise handling
+* Avoid designing cryptography from scratch; use well-established signing formats and separation of duties.
+
+---
+
+## 11) Offline / air‑gapped requirements
+
+### Snapshot levels (PM packaging guideline)
+
+Offer explicit snapshot types with clear guarantees:
+
+* **Level A: Reference-only snapshot**
+
+  * stores hashes + source descriptors
+  * replay requires access to original sources
+* **Level B: Portable snapshot**
+
+  * includes blobs necessary for replay
+  * replay works offline
+* **Level C: Sealed portable snapshot**
+
+  * portable + signed + includes trust anchors
+  * replay works offline and can be verified independently
+
+Do not market air‑gap support without specifying which level is provided.
+
+---
+
+## 12) Performance and storage guidelines
+
+### Principles
+
+* Content-address knowledge blobs to maximize deduplication.
+* Separate “hot” knowledge (recent epochs) from cold storage.
+* Support snapshot compaction and garbage collection.
+
+### Operational requirements
+
+* Retention policies per tenant/project/environment.
+* Quotas and alerting when snapshot storage approaches limits.
+* Export bundles should be chunked/streamable for large feeds.
+
+---
+
+## 13) Testing and acceptance criteria
+
+### Required test categories
+
+1. **Golden replay tests**
+
+   * same artifact + same snapshot → identical outputs
+2. **Corruption tests**
+
+   * bit flips in blobs/manifests are detected and rejected
+3. **Version skew tests**
+
+   * old snapshot + new engine should either replay deterministically or fail with a clear incompatibility report
+4. **Air‑gap tests**
+
+   * export → import → replay without network access
+5. **Diff accuracy tests**
+
+   * compare snapshots and ensure the diff identifies actual knowledge changes, not noise
+
+### Definition of Done (DoD) for the feature
+
+* Snapshots are created automatically according to policy.
+* Snapshots can be exported and imported with verified integrity.
+* Replay produces matching verdicts for a representative corpus.
+* UI exposes snapshot provenance and replay status.
+* Audit log records snapshot lifecycle events.
+* Clear failure modes exist (missing blobs, incompatible engine, signature failure).
+
+---
+
+## 14) Metrics (PM ownership)
+
+Track metrics that prove this is a moat, not a checkbox.
+
+### Core KPIs
+
+* **Replay success rate** (strict determinism)
+* **Time to explain drift** (median time from “why changed” to root cause)
+* **% verdicts with sealed portable snapshots**
+* **Audit effort reduction** (customer-reported or measured via workflow steps)
+* **Storage efficiency** (dedup ratio; bytes per snapshot over time)
+
+### Guardrail metrics
+
+* Snapshot creation latency impact on CI
+* Snapshot storage growth per tenant
+* Verification failure rates
+
+---
+
+## 15) Common failure modes (what to prevent)
+
+1. Treating snapshots as “metadata only” and still claiming replayability.
+2. Allowing “latest feed fetch” during replay (breaks the promise).
+3. Not pinning parser/policy/scoring versions—causes silent drift.
+4. Missing clear UX around replay limitations and failure reasons.
+5. Overcapturing sensitive inputs (privacy and customer trust risk).
+6. Underinvesting in dedup/retention (cost blowups).
+
+---
+
+## 16) Management checklists
+
+### PM checklist (before commitment)
+
+* Precisely define “replay” guarantee level (A/B/C) for each SKU/environment.
+* Define which inputs are in scope (feeds, VEX, policies, trust bundles, plugins).
+* Define customer-facing workflows:
+
+  * “replay now”
+  * “compare to latest”
+  * “export for audit / air-gap”
+* Confirm governance outcomes:
+
+  * audit pack integration
+  * exception linkage
+  * release gate linkage
+
+### Development Manager checklist (before build)
+
+* Establish canonical schemas and versioning plan.
+* Establish content-addressed storage + dedup plan.
+* Establish signing and trust anchor strategy.
+* Establish deterministic evaluation contract and test harness.
+* Establish import/export packaging and verification.
+* Establish retention, quotas, and GC.
+
+---
+
+## 17) Minimal phased delivery (recommended)
+
+**Phase 1: Reference snapshot + verdict binding**
+
+* Record source descriptors + hashes, policy/scoring/trust digests.
+* Bind snapshot ID into verdict artifacts.
+
+**Phase 2: Portable snapshots**
+
+* Store knowledge blobs locally with dedup.
+* Export/import with integrity verification.
+
+**Phase 3: Sealed portable snapshots + replay tooling**
+
+* Sign snapshots.
+* Deterministic replay pipeline + replay report.
+* UI surfacing and audit logs.
+
+**Phase 4: Snapshot diff + drift explainability**
+
+* Compare snapshots.
+* Attribute decision drift to knowledge changes vs artifact changes.
+
+---
+
+If you want this turned into an internal PRD template, I can rewrite it into a structured PRD format with: objectives, user stories, functional requirements, non-functional requirements, security/compliance, dependencies, risks, and acceptance tests—ready for Jira/Linear epics and engineering design review.

+## Stella Ops Guidelines
+
+### Risk Budgets and Diff-Aware Release Gates
+
+**Audience:** Product Managers (PMs) and Development Managers (DMs)
+**Applies to:** All customer-impacting software and configuration changes shipped by Stella Ops (code, infrastructure-as-code, runtime config, feature flags, data migrations, dependency upgrades).
+
+---
+
+## 1) What we are optimizing for
+
+Stella Ops ships quickly **without** letting change-driven incidents, security regressions, or data integrity failures become the hidden cost of “speed.”
+
+These guidelines enforce two linked controls:
+
+1. **Risk Budgets** — a quantitative “capacity to take risk” that prevents reliability and trust from being silently depleted.
+2. **Diff-Aware Release Gates** — release checks whose strictness scales with *what changed* (the diff), not with generic process.
+
+Together they let us move fast on low-risk diffs and slow down only when the change warrants it.
+
+---
+
+## 2) Non-negotiable principles
+
+1. **All changes are risk-bearing** (even “small” diffs). We quantify and route them accordingly.
+2. **Risk is managed at the product/service boundary** (each service has its own budget and gating profile).
+3. **Automation first, approvals last**. Humans review what automation cannot reliably verify.
+4. **Blast radius is a first-class variable**. A safe rollout beats a perfect code review.
+5. **Exceptions are allowed but never free**. Every bypass is logged, justified, and paid back via budget reduction and follow-up controls.
+
+---
+
+## 3) Definitions
+
+### 3.1 Risk Budget (what it is)
+
+A **Risk Budget** is the amount of change-risk a product/service is allowed to take over a defined window (typically a sprint or month) **without increasing the probability of customer harm beyond the agreed tolerance**.
+
+It is a management control, not a theoretical score.
+
+### 3.2 Risk Budget vs. Error Budget (important distinction)
+
+* **Error Budget** (classic SRE): backward-looking tolerance for *actual* unreliability vs. SLO.
+* **Risk Budget** (this policy): forward-looking tolerance for *change risk* before shipping.
+
+They interact:
+
+* If error budget is burned (service is unstable), risk budget is automatically constrained.
+* If risk budget is low, release gates tighten by policy.
+
+### 3.3 Diff-aware release gates (what it is)
+
+A **release gate** is a set of required checks (tests, scans, reviews, rollout controls) that must pass before a change can progress.
+**Diff-aware** means the gate level is determined by:
+
+* what changed (diff classification),
+* where it changed (criticality),
+* how it ships (blast radius controls),
+* and current operational context (incidents, SLO health, budget remaining).
+
+---
+
+## 4) Roles and accountability
+
+### Product Manager (PM) — accountable for risk appetite
+
+PM responsibilities:
+
+* Define product-level risk tolerance with stakeholders (customer impact tolerance, regulatory constraints).
+* Approve the **Risk Budget Policy settings** for their product/service tier (criticality level, default gates).
+* Prioritize reliability work when budgets are constrained.
+* Own customer communications for degraded service or risk-driven release deferrals.
+
+### Development Manager (DM) — accountable for enforcement and engineering hygiene
+
+DM responsibilities:
+
+* Ensure pipelines implement diff classification and enforce gates.
+* Ensure tests, telemetry, rollout mechanisms, and rollback procedures exist and are maintained.
+* Ensure “exceptions” process is real (logged, postmortemed, paid back).
+* Own staffing/rotation decisions to ensure safe releases (on-call readiness, release captains).
+
+### Shared responsibilities
+
+PM + DM jointly:
+
+* Review risk budget status weekly.
+* Resolve trade-offs: feature velocity vs. reliability/security work.
+* Approve gate profile changes (tighten/loosen) based on evidence.
+
+---
+
+## 5) Risk Budgets
+
+### 5.1 Establish service tiers (criticality)
+
+Each service/product component must be assigned a **Criticality Tier**:
+
+* **Tier 0 – Internal only** (no external customers; low business impact)
+* **Tier 1 – Customer-facing non-critical** (degradation tolerated; limited blast radius)
+* **Tier 2 – Customer-facing critical** (core workflows; meaningful revenue/trust impact)
+* **Tier 3 – Safety/financial/data-critical** (payments, auth, permissions, PII, regulated workflows)
+
+Tier drives default budgets and minimum gates.
+
+### 5.2 Choose a budget window and units
+
+**Window:** default to **monthly** with weekly tracking; optionally sprint-based if release cadence is sprint-coupled.
+**Units:** use **Risk Points (RP)** — consumed by each change. (Do not overcomplicate at first; tune with data.)
+
+Recommended initial monthly budgets (adjust after 2–3 cycles with evidence):
+
+* Tier 0: 300 RP/month
+* Tier 1: 200 RP/month
+* Tier 2: 120 RP/month
+* Tier 3: 80 RP/month
+
+> Interpretation: Tier 3 ships fewer “risky” changes; it can still ship frequently, but changes must be decomposed into low-risk diffs and shipped with strong controls.
+
+### 5.3 Risk Point scoring (how changes consume budget)
+
+Every change gets a **Release Risk Score (RRS)** in RP.
+
+A practical baseline model:
+
+**RRS = Base(criticality) + Diff Risk + Operational Context – Mitigations**
+
+**Base (criticality):**
+
+* Tier 0: +1
+* Tier 1: +3
+* Tier 2: +6
+* Tier 3: +10
+
+**Diff Risk (additive):**
+
+* +1: docs, comments, non-executed code paths, telemetry-only additions
+* +3: UI changes, non-core logic changes, refactors with high test coverage
+* +6: API contract changes, dependency upgrades, medium-complexity logic in a core path
+* +10: database schema migrations, auth/permission logic, data retention/PII handling
+* +15: infra/networking changes, encryption/key handling, payment flows, queue semantics changes
+
+**Operational Context (additive):**
+
+* +5: service currently in incident or had Sev1/Sev2 in last 7 days
+* +3: error budget < 50% remaining
+* +2: on-call load high (paging above normal baseline)
+* +5: release during restricted windows (holidays/freeze) via exception
+
+**Mitigations (subtract):**
+
+* –3: feature flag with staged rollout + instant kill switch verified
+* –3: canary + automated health gates + rollback tested in last 30 days
+* –2: high-confidence integration coverage for touched components
+* –2: no data migration OR backward-compatible migration with proven rollback
+* –2: change isolated behind permission boundary / limited cohort
+
+**Minimum RRS floor:** never below 1 RP.
+
+DM is responsible for making sure the pipeline can calculate a *default* RRS automatically and require humans only for edge cases.
+
+### 5.4 Budget operating rules
+
+**Budget ledger:** Maintain a per-service ledger:
+
+* Budget allocated for the window
+* RP consumed per release
+* RP remaining
+* Trendline (projected depletion date)
+* Exceptions (break-glass releases)
+
+**Control thresholds:**
+
+* **Green (≥60% remaining):** normal operation
+* **Yellow (30–59%):** additional caution; gates tighten by 1 level for medium/high-risk diffs
+* **Red (<30%):** freeze high-risk diffs; allow only low-risk changes or reliability/security work
+* **Exhausted (≤0%):** releases restricted to incident fixes, security fixes, and rollback-only, with tightened gates and explicit sign-off
+
+### 5.5 What to do when budget is low (expected behavior)
+
+When Yellow/Red:
+
+* PM shifts roadmap execution toward:
+
+  * reliability work, defect burn-down,
+  * decomposing large changes into smaller, reversible diffs,
+  * reducing scope of risky features.
+* DM enforces:
+
+  * smaller diffs,
+  * increased feature flagging,
+  * staged rollout requirements,
+  * improved test/observability coverage.
+
+Budget constraints are a signal, not a punishment.
+
+### 5.6 Budget replenishment and incentives
+
+Budgets replenish on the window boundary, but we also allow **earned capacity**:
+
+* If a service improves change failure rate and MTTR for 2 consecutive windows, it may earn:
+
+  * +10–20% budget increase **or**
+  * one gate level relaxation for specific change categories
+
+This must be evidence-driven (metrics, not opinions).
+
+---
+
+## 6) Diff-Aware Release Gates
+
+### 6.1 Diff classification (what the pipeline must detect)
+
+At minimum, automatically classify diffs into these categories:
+
+**Code scope**
+
+* Executable code vs docs-only
+* Core vs non-core modules (define module ownership boundaries)
+* Hot paths (latency-sensitive), correctness-sensitive paths
+
+**Data scope**
+
+* Schema migration (additive vs breaking)
+* Backfill jobs / batch jobs
+* Data model changes impacting downstream consumers
+* PII / regulated data touchpoints
+
+**Security scope**
+
+* Authn/authz logic
+* Permission checks
+* Secrets, key handling, encryption changes
+* Dependency changes with known CVEs
+
+**Infra scope**
+
+* IaC changes, networking, load balancer, DNS, autoscaling
+* Runtime config changes (feature flags, limits, thresholds)
+* Queue/topic changes, retention settings
+
+**Interface scope**
+
+* Public API contract changes
+* Backward compatibility of payloads/events
+* Client version dependency
+
+### 6.2 Gate levels
+
+Define **Gate Levels G0–G4**. The pipeline assigns one based on diff + context + budget.
+
+#### G0 — No-risk / administrative
+
+Use for:
+
+* docs-only, comments-only, non-functional metadata
+
+Requirements:
+
+* Lint/format checks
+* Basic CI pass (build)
+
+#### G1 — Low risk
+
+Use for:
+
+* small, localized code changes with strong unit coverage
+* non-core UI changes
+* telemetry additions (no removal)
+
+Requirements:
+
+* All automated unit tests
+* Static analysis/linting
+* 1 peer review (code owner not required if outside critical modules)
+* Automated deploy to staging
+* Post-deploy smoke checks
+
+#### G2 — Moderate risk
+
+Use for:
+
+* moderate logic changes in customer-facing paths
+* dependency upgrades
+* API changes that are backward compatible
+* config changes affecting behavior
+
+Requirements:
+
+* G1 +
+* Integration tests relevant to impacted modules
+* Code owner review for touched modules
+* Feature flag required if customer impact possible
+* Staged rollout: canary or small cohort
+* Rollback plan documented in PR
+
+#### G3 — High risk
+
+Use for:
+
+* schema migrations
+* auth/permission changes
+* core business logic in critical flows
+* infra changes affecting availability
+* non-trivial concurrency/queue semantics changes
+
+Requirements:
+
+* G2 +
+* Security scan + dependency audit (must pass, exceptions logged)
+* Migration plan (forward + rollback) reviewed
+* Load/performance checks if in hot path
+* Observability: new/updated dashboards/alerts for the change
+* Release captain / on-call sign-off (someone accountable live)
+* Progressive delivery with automatic health gates (error rate/latency)
+
+#### G4 — Very high risk / safety-critical / budget-constrained releases
+
+Use for:
+
+* Tier 3 critical systems with low budget remaining
+* changes during freeze windows via exception
+* broad blast radius changes (platform-wide)
+* remediation after major incident where recurrence risk is high
+
+Requirements:
+
+* G3 +
+* Formal risk review (PM+DM+Security/SRE) in writing
+* Explicit rollback rehearsal or prior proven rollback path
+* Extended canary period with success criteria and abort criteria
+* Customer comms plan if impact is plausible
+* Post-release verification checklist executed and logged
+
+### 6.3 Gate selection logic (policy)
+
+Default rule:
+
+1. Compute **RRS** (Risk Points) from diff + context.
+2. Map RRS to default gate:
+
+   * 1–5 RP → G1
+   * 6–12 RP → G2
+   * 13–20 RP → G3
+   * 21+ RP → G4
+3. Apply modifiers:
+
+   * If **budget Yellow**: escalate one gate for changes ≥ G2
+   * If **budget Red**: escalate one gate for changes ≥ G1 and block high-risk categories unless exception
+   * If active incident or error budget severely degraded: block non-fix releases by default
+
+DM must ensure the pipeline enforces this mapping automatically.
+
+### 6.4 “Diff-aware” also means “blast-radius aware”
+
+If the diff is inherently risky, reduce risk operationally:
+
+* feature flags with cohort controls
+* dark launches (ship code disabled)
+* canary deployments
+* blue/green with quick revert
+* backwards-compatible DB migrations (expand/contract pattern)
+* circuit breakers and rate limiting
+* progressive exposure by tenant / region / account segment
+
+Large diffs are not “made safe” by more reviewers; they are made safe by **reversibility and containment**.
+
+---
+
+## 7) Exceptions (“break glass”) policy
+
+Exceptions are permitted only when one of these is true:
+
+* incident mitigation or customer harm prevention,
+* urgent security fix (actively exploited or high severity),
+* legal/compliance deadline.
+
+**Requirements for any exception:**
+
+* Recorded rationale in the PR/release ticket
+* Named approver(s): DM + on-call owner; PM for customer-impacting risk
+* Mandatory follow-up within 5 business days:
+
+  * post-incident or post-release review
+  * remediation tasks created and prioritized
+* **Budget penalty:** subtract additional RP (e.g., +50% of the change’s RRS) to reflect unmanaged risk
+
+Repeated exceptions are a governance failure and trigger gate tightening.
+
+---
+
+## 8) Operational metrics (what PMs and DMs must review)
+
+Minimum weekly review dashboard per service:
+
+* **Risk budget remaining** (RP and %)
+* **Deploy frequency**
+* **Change failure rate**
+* **MTTR**
+* **Sev1/Sev2 count** (rolling 30/90 days)
+* **SLO / error budget status**
+* **Gate compliance rate** (how often gates were bypassed)
+* **Diff size distribution** (are we shipping huge diffs?)
+* **Rollback frequency and time-to-rollback**
+
+Policy expectation:
+
+* If change failure rate or MTTR worsens materially over 2 windows, budgets tighten and gate mapping escalates until stability returns.
+
+---
+
+## 9) Practical operating cadence
+
+### Weekly (PM + DM)
+
+* Review budgets and trends
+* Identify upcoming high-risk releases and plan staged rollouts
+* Confirm staffing for release windows (release captain / on-call coverage)
+* Decide whether to defer, decompose, or harden changes
+
+### Per release (DM-led, PM informed)
+
+* Ensure correct gate level
+* Verify rollout + rollback readiness
+* Confirm monitoring/alerts exist and are watched during rollout
+* Execute post-release verification checklist
+
+### Monthly (leadership)
+
+* Adjust tier assignments if product criticality changed
+* Recalibrate budget numbers based on measured outcomes
+* Identify systemic causes: test gaps, observability gaps, deployment tooling gaps
+
+---
+
+## 10) Required templates (standardize execution)
+
+### 10.1 Release Plan (required for G2+)
+
+* What is changing (1–3 bullets)
+* Expected customer impact (or “none”)
+* Diff category flags (DB/auth/infra/API/etc.)
+* Rollout strategy (canary/cohort/blue-green)
+* Abort criteria (exact metrics/thresholds)
+* Rollback steps (exact commands/process)
+* Owners during rollout (names)
+
+### 10.2 Migration Plan (required for schema/data changes)
+
+* Migration type: additive / expand-contract / breaking (breaking is disallowed without explicit G4 approval)
+* Backfill approach and rate limits
+* Validation checks (row counts, invariants)
+* Rollback strategy (including data implications)
+
+### 10.3 Post-release Verification Checklist (G1+)
+
+* Smoke test results
+* Key dashboards checked (latency, error rate, saturation)
+* Alerts status
+* User-facing workflows validated (as applicable)
+* Ticket updated with outcome
+
+---
+
+## 11) What “good” looks like
+
+* Low-risk diffs ship quickly with minimal ceremony (G0–G1).
+* High-risk diffs are decomposed and shipped progressively, not heroically.
+* Risk budgets are visible, used in planning, and treated as a real constraint.
+* Exceptions are rare and followed by concrete remediation.
+* Over time: deploy frequency stays high while change failure rate and MTTR decrease.
+
+---
+
+## 12) Immediate adoption checklist (first 30 days)
+
+**DM deliverables**
+
+* Implement diff classification in CI/CD (at least: DB/auth/infra/API/deps/config)
+* Implement automatic gate mapping and enforcement
+* Add “release plan” and “rollback plan” checks for G2+
+* Add logging for gate overrides
+
+**PM deliverables**
+
+* Confirm service tiering for owned areas
+* Approve initial monthly RP budgets
+* Add risk budget review to the weekly product/engineering ritual
+* Reprioritize work when budgets hit Yellow/Red (explicitly)
+
+---
+
+If you want, I can also provide:
+
+* a concrete scoring worksheet (ready to paste into Confluence/Notion),
+* a CI/CD policy example (e.g., GitHub Actions / GitLab rules) that computes gate level from diff patterns,
+* and a one-page “Release Captain Runbook” aligned to G2–G4.

+-- Policy Schema Migration 007: Unknowns Registry
+-- Creates the unknowns table for tracking packages with incomplete/uncertain data
+-- Sprint: SPRINT_3500_0002_0002 - Unknowns Registry v1
+-- Category: A (safe, can run at startup)
+--
+-- Purpose: Track packages that have incomplete or conflicting data, ranking them
+-- by uncertainty and exploit pressure using a two-factor scoring model.
+--
+-- Bands:
+--   - HOT:      Score >= 75 (high uncertainty + high pressure)
+--   - WARM:     Score >= 50 (moderate uncertainty or pressure)
+--   - COLD:     Score >= 25 (low priority)
+--   - RESOLVED: Score < 25 or manually resolved
+

+-- Step 3: Enable Row-Level Security
+-- ============================================================================
+
+ALTER TABLE policy.unknowns ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;

+-- Policy: tenants can only see their own unknowns
+CREATE POLICY unknowns_tenant_isolation ON policy.unknowns

 ## Interfaces & Contracts
+
+### Core EntryTrace
 - Primary entry point: `IEntryTraceAnalyzer.ResolveAsync` returning a deterministic `EntryTraceGraph`.
 - Graph nodes must include file path, line span, interpreter classification, evidence source, and follow `Scanner.Core` timestamp/ID helpers when emitting events.
 - Diagnostics must enumerate unknown reasons from fixed enum; metrics tagged `entrytrace.*`.
 - Plug-ins register via `IEntryTraceAnalyzerFactory` and must validate against `IPluginCatalogGuard`.
 
+### Semantic Entrypoints (Sprint 0411)
+Located in `Semantic/`:
+- `SemanticEntrypoint`: Classifies entrypoints with intent, capabilities, threat vectors, and confidence scores.
+- `ApplicationIntent`: Enum for high-level purpose (ApiEndpoint, Worker, CronJob, CliTool, etc.).
+- `CapabilityClass`: Enum for functional capabilities (NetworkListener, FileSystemAccess, ProcessSpawner, etc.).
+- `ThreatVector`: Enum for security-relevant classifications (NetworkExposure, FilePathTraversal, CommandInjection, etc.).
+- `DataFlowBoundary`: Record for trust boundaries in data flow.
+- `SemanticConfidence`: Confidence scores for classification results.
+
+### Temporal Entrypoints (Sprint 0412)
+Located in `Temporal/`:
+- `TemporalEntrypointGraph`: Tracks entrypoints across image versions with snapshots and deltas.
+- `EntrypointSnapshot`: Point-in-time entrypoint state with content hash for comparison.
+- `EntrypointDelta`: Version-to-version changes (added/removed/modified entrypoints).
+- `EntrypointDrift`: Flags enum for drift categories (IntentChanged, CapabilitiesExpanded, AttackSurfaceGrew, PrivilegeEscalation, PortsAdded, etc.).
+- `ITemporalEntrypointStore`: Interface for storing and querying temporal graphs.
+- `InMemoryTemporalEntrypointStore`: Reference implementation with delta computation.
+
+### Mesh Entrypoints (Sprint 0412)
+Located in `Mesh/`:
+- `MeshEntrypointGraph`: Multi-container service mesh with services, edges, and ingress paths.
+- `ServiceNode`: Container in the mesh with entrypoints, exposed ports, and labels.
+- `CrossContainerEdge`: Inter-service communication link.
+- `CrossContainerPath`: Reachability path across services with vulnerability tracking.
+- `IngressPath`: External exposure via ingress/load balancer.
+- `IManifestParser`: Interface for parsing orchestration manifests.
+- `KubernetesManifestParser`: Parser for K8s Deployment, Service, Ingress, StatefulSet, DaemonSet, Pod.
+- `DockerComposeParser`: Parser for Docker Compose v2/v3 files.
+- `MeshEntrypointAnalyzer`: Orchestrator for mesh analysis with security metrics and blast radius analysis.
