+## Execution Log
+
+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2026-01-18 | Sprint created from UI rework advisory | Planning |
+| 2026-01-18 | Status audit: SHARED-001 through SHARED-006 marked DONE. All domain widgets implemented in src/app/shared/domain/ (DigestChipComponent, PolicyGateBadgeComponent, GateSummaryPanelComponent, ReachabilityStateChipComponent, WitnessPathPreviewComponent, EvidenceLinkComponent). SHARED-007 through SHARED-010 and ROUTE-001 through ROUTE-003 remain TODO. | FE Developer |
+| 2026-01-18 | SHARED-007 (WitnessViewerComponent) implemented as full page at witness-page.component.ts with state summary, call path visualization, confidence explanation, and expandable graph viewer. SHARED-008 and SHARED-009 found to be already fully implemented in shared/overlays/. Updated status to DONE. | FE Developer |
+| 2026-01-18 | ROUTE-001 (legacy route redirects) updated with comprehensive parameterized routes. Added 20+ additional routes with parameters (scanId, vulnId, artifactId, packId, page params). Total 60+ redirect rules. /proofs/:subjectDigest kept as permanent short alias. | FE Developer |
+| 2026-01-18 | ROUTE-002 (legacy route telemetry) implemented as LegacyRouteTelemetryService. Uses router events to detect redirects, emits telemetry via TelemetryClient with tenant/user context. Service initialized in AppComponent. | FE Developer |
+| 2026-01-18 | ROUTE-003 (legacy URL banner) enhanced with auto-hide, transition period, slide animation, dark mode. Integrated with telemetry service via currentLegacyRoute signal. Banner added to app shell. | FE Developer |
+| 2026-01-18 | SHARED-010 (UI primitives) verified - all 11 components implemented and exported. DataTableComponent in shared/components/ with sorting, selection, loading states. Virtual scroll optional for future. | FE Developer |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+- **Decision:** Keep `/proofs/:subjectDigest` as permanent alias (user-friendly short link)
+- **Decision:** Use redirects (not aliases) to encourage bookmark updates
+- **Decision:** Track legacy route usage to inform deprecation timeline
+- **Risk:** Redirect configuration complex - test thoroughly with all parameter combinations
+- **Risk:** External docs/tickets may have old URLs - keep redirects indefinitely
+- **Reference:** `docs/ui-analysis/rework/04-migration-map.md` (complete)
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+
+- All shared domain widgets: End of Week 2
+- All shared UI primitives: End of Week 3
+- Legacy redirect layer complete: End of Week 4
+- Telemetry and banner: End of Week 5
+- Integration testing: End of Week 6

+
+**Expected evidence:**
+- Command routing infrastructure supporting old→new mappings
+- Deprecation warning system with configurable suppression
+- Unit tests for routing and deprecation logic
+- Integration tests verifying backward compatibility
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+
+- **Upstream:** None (foundation sprint)
+- **Downstream:** All other CLI consolidation sprints depend on this
+- **Safe parallelism:** Documentation tasks can run in parallel with implementation
+
+## Documentation Prerequisites
+
+- `docs/product/advisories/CLI_CONSOLIDATION_PROPOSAL.md` - Migration strategy
+- `docs/product/advisories/CLI_COMMAND_MAPPING.md` - Command mappings
+- `src/Cli/StellaOps.Cli/Commands/CommandFactory.cs` - Current command registration
+
+## Delivery Tracker
+
+### CLI-F-001 - Create CommandRouter infrastructure
+
+**Status:** DONE
+**Dependency:** none
+**Owners:** Developer/Implementer
+
+**Task description:**
+
+Create a `CommandRouter` class that enables mapping old command paths to new paths while maintaining backward compatibility. The router should:
+
+1. Support registering route mappings (old path → new path)
+2. Automatically create alias commands that delegate to canonical commands
+3. Track which commands are deprecated vs active
+4. Integrate with System.CommandLine's command building
+
+Example usage:
+```csharp
+var router = new CommandRouter();
+router.RegisterAlias("scangraph", "scan graph");
+router.RegisterAlias("notify", "config notify", deprecated: true);
+router.RegisterDeprecated("gate", "release gate", removeInVersion: "3.0");
+```
+
+**Files to create:**
+- `src/Cli/StellaOps.Cli/Infrastructure/CommandRouter.cs`
+- `src/Cli/StellaOps.Cli/Infrastructure/CommandRoute.cs`
+- `src/Cli/StellaOps.Cli/Infrastructure/ICommandRouter.cs`
+
+**Completion criteria:**
+- [x] CommandRouter class implemented with route registration
+- [x] Supports both alias (non-deprecated) and deprecated routes
+- [x] Routes can specify target version for removal
+- [x] Unit tests cover all routing scenarios
+
+---
+
+### CLI-F-002 - Implement deprecation warning system
+
+**Status:** DONE
+**Dependency:** CLI-F-001
+**Owners:** Developer/Implementer
+
+**Task description:**
+
+Create a deprecation warning system that:
+
+1. Displays warnings when deprecated commands are used
+2. Shows the recommended alternative command
+3. Indicates the version when the command will be removed
+4. Can be suppressed via environment variable (`STELLA_SUPPRESS_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS`)
+5. Tracks deprecation usage for telemetry (if enabled)
+
+Warning format:
+```
+WARNING: 'stella gate evaluate' is deprecated and will be removed in v3.0.
+ Use 'stella release gate evaluate' instead.
+ Set STELLA_SUPPRESS_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS=1 to hide this message.
+```
+
+**Files to create/modify:**
+- `src/Cli/StellaOps.Cli/Infrastructure/DeprecationWarningService.cs`
+- `src/Cli/StellaOps.Cli/Infrastructure/IDeprecationWarningService.cs`
+- Modify `Program.cs` to register service
+
+**Completion criteria:**
+- [x] Warning displayed on stderr (not stdout) to not break piped output
+- [x] Warning includes old command, new command, and removal version
+- [x] Environment variable suppression works
+- [x] Warnings appear only once per command per session
+- [x] Unit tests verify warning output and suppression
+
+---
+
+### CLI-F-003 - Create command group builder helpers
+
+**Status:** DONE
+**Dependency:** CLI-F-001
+**Owners:** Developer/Implementer
+
+**Task description:**
+
+Create helper methods for building consolidated command groups that reduce boilerplate. These helpers should make it easy to:
+
+1. Create umbrella commands (e.g., `scan` that contains `run`, `graph`, `secrets`)
+2. Add subcommands from existing command groups
+3. Register both canonical and aliased paths in one call
+
+Example:
+```csharp
+var scanCommand = CommandGroupBuilder.Create("scan", "Scan images and artifacts")
+ .AddSubcommand("run", existingScanRunCommand)
+ .AddSubcommand("graph", existingScanGraphCommand)
+ .AddAlias("secrets", secretsCommand, router)
+ .WithDeprecatedAlias("scangraph", "graph", router)
+ .Build();
+```
+
+**Files to create:**
+- `src/Cli/StellaOps.Cli/Infrastructure/CommandGroupBuilder.cs`
+
+**Completion criteria:**
+- [x] Builder pattern implemented for command group construction
+- [x] Supports adding subcommands from existing command instances
+- [x] Integrates with CommandRouter for alias registration
+- [x] Unit tests verify builder produces correct command hierarchy
+
+---
+
+### CLI-F-004 - Add route mapping configuration
+
+**Status:** DONE

+
+Create a configuration file (`cli-routes.json` or embed in code) that defines all command mappings. This centralizes the migration map and makes it easy to audit.
+
+Structure:
+```json
+{
+ "version": "1.0",
+ "mappings": [
+ {
+ "old": "scangraph",
+ "new": "scan graph",
+ "type": "deprecated",
+ "removeIn": "3.0",
+ "reason": "Consolidated under scan command"
+ },
+ {
+ "old": "notify",
+ "new": "config notify",
+ "type": "deprecated",
+ "removeIn": "3.0",
+ "reason": "Settings consolidated under config"
+ }
+ ]
+}
+```
+
+**Files to create/modify:**
+- `src/Cli/StellaOps.Cli/Infrastructure/RouteMappingConfiguration.cs`
+- `src/Cli/StellaOps.Cli/cli-routes.json` (embedded resource)
+- `src/Cli/StellaOps.Cli/Infrastructure/RouteMappingLoader.cs`
+
+**Completion criteria:**
+- [x] JSON schema defined for route mappings
+- [x] Loader validates and parses configuration
+- [x] Configuration embedded as resource (no external file dependency)
+- [x] All mappings from CLI_COMMAND_MAPPING.md included
+- [x] Unit tests verify loading and validation

+Modify `CommandFactory.cs` to use the new routing infrastructure:
+
+1. Load route mappings at startup
+2. Register both canonical and aliased commands
+3. Wire up deprecation warnings for deprecated paths
+4. Ensure existing tests continue to pass
+
+This is a refactoring task - no functional changes to commands, just how they're registered.
+
+**Files to modify:**
+- `src/Cli/StellaOps.Cli/Commands/CommandFactory.cs`
+
+**Completion criteria:**
+- [x] CommandFactory uses CommandRouter for registration
+- [x] All existing commands still work identically
+- [x] No breaking changes to command behavior
+- [x] Existing CLI tests pass
+- [x] New integration test verifies aliased paths work

+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2026-01-18 | Sprint created from CLI consolidation advisory | Planning |
+| 2026-01-18 | CLI-F-001 through CLI-F-004 and CLI-F-007 implemented. Created CommandRouter, CommandRoute, ICommandRouter, DeprecationWarningService, CommandGroupBuilder, RouteMappingConfiguration, RouteMappingLoader in Infrastructure/. Created cli-routes.json with 60+ route mappings. Unit tests in CommandRouterTests.cs cover all infrastructure classes. CLI-F-005 (CommandFactory integration) and CLI-F-006 (documentation) remain TODO. | Developer |
+| 2026-01-18 | CLI-F-005 completed. Integrated routing into CommandFactory.cs: added RegisterDeprecatedAliases(), BuildCommandLookup(), TryRegisterDeprecatedAlias() methods. Added cli-routes.json as EmbeddedResource in csproj. Routing loads at startup after plugin registration, creates hidden alias commands for deprecated paths that delegate to canonical commands with deprecation warnings. | Developer |
+| 2026-01-18 | CLI-F-006 completed. Created docs/modules/cli/guides/migration-v3.md with user-facing migration guide including before/after examples for all command groups. Updated docs/modules/cli/architecture.md with section 1.1 documenting routing infrastructure, schema, warning format, and timeline. Updated CLI AGENTS.md with consolidation sprint status. Sprint 010 complete - all tasks DONE. | Documentation |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+**Decisions needed:**
+- Embedded JSON vs code-based route configuration (recommendation: embedded JSON for auditability)
+- Warning output format (recommendation: stderr with clear formatting)
+
+**Risks:**
+| Risk | Impact | Mitigation |
+|------|--------|------------|
+| Large refactor of CommandFactory | Medium | Incremental changes, comprehensive tests |
+| Breaking existing CI pipelines | High | Extensive backward compatibility testing |
+
+**Links:**
+- Advisory: `docs/product/advisories/CLI_CONSOLIDATION_PROPOSAL.md`
+- Mapping: `docs/product/advisories/CLI_COMMAND_MAPPING.md`

+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- **Decision needed**: Should we support CycloneDX 1.5 in addition to 1.6 for backwards compatibility?
+- **Risk**: RFC 8785 library may have edge cases with Unicode normalization - need extensive testing
+- **Risk**: SPDX 3.0 is relatively new; tooling ecosystem may have compatibility issues
+- **Mitigation**: Focus on CycloneDX 1.6 first, SPDX 3.0 as secondary priority
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- POC-A completion: deterministic SBOM generation with proven golden hash reproducibility
+- Demo: run `stella sbom generate` twice, show identical SHA-256
+- KPI target: 100% reproducibility rate across 100 test runs

+### VL-002 - Implement VerdictLedger entity and repository
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: VL-001
+Owners: Developer/Implementer
+
+Task description:
+Create the domain entity, repository interface, and PostgreSQL implementation for VerdictLedger operations. The repository must enforce append-only semantics and compute verdict_hash using canonical JSON serialization.
+
+Canonical hash computation:
+```
+verdict_hash = SHA256(canonical_json({
+ bom_ref, cyclonedx_serial, rekor_uuid, decision, reason,
+ policy_bundle_id, policy_bundle_hash, verifier_image_digest,
+ signer_keyid, prev_hash, created_at (ISO8601)
+}))
+```
+
+Where canonical_json uses: sorted keys, no whitespace, UTF-8 encoding.
+
+Completion criteria:

+Status: DONE
+Dependency: VL-002
+Owners: Developer/Implementer
+
+Task description:
+Create a service layer that handles verdict appending with chain integrity validation. The service must:
+- Fetch the latest entry to get `prev_hash`

+### VL-005 - Migrate existing verdict records to VerdictLedger
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: VL-004
+Owners: Developer/Implementer
+
+Task description:
+Create migration tooling to backfill existing verdicts from `VerdictRow`, `RiskVerdictAttestation`, and `DeltaVerdict` into the new VerdictLedger. Migration must:

+Status: DONE
+Dependency: VL-002
+Owners: Developer/Implementer
+
+Task description:
+Implement `bom_ref` extraction from SBOM payloads and add direct indexing. Currently `bom_ref` must be parsed from SBOM JSON; this task adds first-class support.
+
+The `bom_ref` should follow Package URL (purl) specification or container digest format:
+- `pkg:npm/lodash@4.17.21`

+## Decisions & Risks
+- **Decision needed**: Tenant isolation strategy - separate tables vs. tenant_id column (leaning toward column for simplicity)
+- **Risk**: Migration of existing records may have data gaps (missing policy_bundle_id, etc.) - mitigate with nullable fields and incremental enrichment
+- **Risk**: Chain integrity under high concurrency - mitigate with serializable transactions or advisory locks
+- **Decision**: Use SHA-256 for verdict_hash (matches existing ProofBundle pattern)

+### DQUAL-001 - Replace PolicyEngineHealthCheck mock implementation
+
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Backend Developer
+
+Task description:
+The `PolicyEngineHealthCheck.cs` in `src/Doctor/__Plugins/StellaOps.Doctor.Plugin.Policy/` contains fully simulated checks at lines 136-172. The `CheckCompilationAsync` and `CheckEvaluationAsync` methods return hardcoded `true` values with fake metrics.
+
+Replace with real implementation:
+1. Inject `IPolicyEngineClient` or equivalent service
+2. Call actual policy engine health endpoint
+3. Compile a test policy and measure real compilation time
+4. Evaluate a canary policy with known input/output
+5. Capture OPA/Rego engine version in evidence
+6. Add evidence for policy count, cache state, compilation errors
+
+Evidence fields required for AI reasoning:
+- `engine_type`: opa | rego | custom
+- `engine_version`: string
+- `policy_count`: int
+- `compilation_time_ms`: int

+
+### DQUAL-002 - Replace OidcProviderConnectivityCheck mock implementation
+
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Backend Developer
+
+Task description:
+The `OidcProviderConnectivityCheck.cs` in `src/Doctor/__Plugins/StellaOps.Doctor.Plugin.Auth/` contains hardcoded mock data at lines 123-133. The `CheckOidcProviderAsync` method always returns success with fake URL.
+
+Replace with real implementation:
+1. Read OIDC configuration from `IConfiguration` (issuer URL, client settings)
+2. Perform HTTP GET to `{issuer}/.well-known/openid-configuration`
+3. Validate discovery document contains required fields (authorization_endpoint, token_endpoint, jwks_uri)
+4. Fetch JWKS and validate at least one key exists
+5. Measure response time for each endpoint
+6. Handle network timeouts gracefully (don't just skip)
+
+Evidence fields required for AI reasoning:
+- `issuer_url`: string
+- `discovery_reachable`: bool
+- `discovery_response_ms`: int
+- `authorization_endpoint_present`: bool
+- `token_endpoint_present`: bool
+- `jwks_uri_present`: bool
+- `jwks_key_count`: int
+- `jwks_fetch_ms`: int

+- `http_status_code`: int | null
+
+Likely causes differentiation:
+- "OIDC provider unreachable" -> `discovery_reachable=false`, `http_status_code=null`
+- "OIDC provider returned error" -> `discovery_reachable=true`, `http_status_code >= 400`
+- "OIDC discovery document malformed" -> `discovery_reachable=true`, `authorization_endpoint_present=false`
+- "JWKS unavailable" -> `jwks_key_count=0`
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] Real HTTP call to OIDC provider
+- [x] Discovery document validated
+- [x] JWKS fetched and validated
+- [x] Evidence includes all required fields
+- [x] Check fails when OIDC provider is down
+- [ ] Tests use WireMock or similar for controlled HTTP responses

+
+### DQUAL-003 - Fix FipsComplianceCheck algorithm verification
+
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Backend Developer
+
+Task description:
+The `FipsComplianceCheck.cs` in `src/Doctor/__Plugins/StellaOps.Doctor.Plugin.Crypto/` has broken verification at lines 176-199. The loop adds all algorithms to `available` list without actually verifying them.
+
+Fix the implementation:
+1. For each required algorithm (AES-256-GCM, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, RSA-2048, ECDSA-P256), actually instantiate the cryptographic provider
+2. Perform a small encrypt/decrypt or hash operation to verify functionality
+3. Check if FIPS mode is enabled via `CryptoConfig.AllowOnlyFipsAlgorithms` or Windows BCrypt FIPS flag
+4. Capture platform-specific FIPS status (Windows FIPS mode, OpenSSL FIPS module)
+
+Evidence fields required for AI reasoning:
+- `fips_mode_enabled`: bool
+- `platform`: windows | linux | macos
+- `crypto_provider`: bcrypt | openssl | managed
+- `openssl_fips_module_loaded`: bool (Linux only)
+- `algorithms_tested`: list of tested algorithm names
+- `algorithms_available`: list of available algorithm names
+- `algorithms_missing`: list of unavailable algorithm names
+- `algorithm_test_results`: dict of algorithm -> pass/fail/error
+
+Likely causes differentiation:
+- "FIPS mode not enabled" -> `fips_mode_enabled=false`
+- "Algorithm not available" -> `algorithms_missing` non-empty
+- "OpenSSL FIPS module not loaded" -> `openssl_fips_module_loaded=false` on Linux
+- "Algorithm test failed" -> `algorithm_test_results` contains failures
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] Each algorithm actually instantiated and tested
+- [x] FIPS mode status detected correctly per platform
+- [x] Evidence includes all required fields
+- [ ] Tests verify failure when algorithm unavailable
+- [ ] Platform-specific behavior documented

+
+### DQUAL-004 - Add discriminating evidence to RekorClockSkewCheck
+
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Backend Developer
+
+Task description:
+The `RekorClockSkewCheck.cs` collects insufficient evidence for root cause analysis. It reports clock skew but doesn't help determine WHY the skew exists.
+
+Add additional evidence collection:
+1. Check NTP daemon status (systemd-timesyncd, chronyd, ntpd, w32time)
+2. Query NTP server configuration
+3. Get last successful sync time
+4. Check if running in VM (clock drift more likely)
+5. Query current time sources
+
+Evidence fields required for AI reasoning:
+- `local_time_utc`: ISO8601
+- `server_time_utc`: ISO8601
+- `skew_seconds`: float
+- `ntp_daemon_running`: bool
+- `ntp_daemon_type`: systemd-timesyncd | chronyd | ntpd | w32time | unknown
+- `ntp_servers_configured`: list of strings
+- `last_sync_time_utc`: ISO8601 | null
+- `sync_age_seconds`: int | null
+- `is_virtual_machine`: bool
+- `vm_clock_sync_enabled`: bool (VMware tools, Hyper-V IC, etc.)
+
+Likely causes differentiation:
+- "NTP service not running" -> `ntp_daemon_running=false`
+- "NTP server unreachable" -> `ntp_daemon_running=true`, `last_sync_time_utc=null` or very old
+- "VM clock drift" -> `is_virtual_machine=true`, `vm_clock_sync_enabled=false`
+- "Manual clock misconfiguration" -> `ntp_daemon_running=true`, `sync_age_seconds` recent but skew large
+
+Remediation differentiation:
+- NTP not running -> `systemctl start systemd-timesyncd` (Linux) or `net start w32time` (Windows)
+- NTP unreachable -> check firewall, verify NTP server addresses
+- VM drift -> enable VM tools time sync
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] NTP daemon status detected
+- [x] Last sync time queried
+- [x] VM detection implemented
+- [x] Evidence includes all required fields
+- [x] Remediation commands are platform-appropriate
+- [ ] Tests mock time sources for determinism
+
+---
+
+### DQUAL-005 - Add safety annotations to all destructive remediation commands
+
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Backend Developer
+
+Task description:
+Several checks include destructive commands marked as `CommandType.Shell` that could be auto-executed. Per CLAUDE.md: "Remediation commands must be non-destructive; destructive steps are manual guidance only."
+
+Audit and fix all plugins:
+
+1. **TransparencyLogConsistencyCheck** - Line with `rm {checkpointPath}` must be `CommandType.Manual`
+2. **DiskSpaceCheck** - Cleanup commands must be `CommandType.Manual` or add `--dry-run`
+3. Any command that deletes, truncates, or modifies state must be marked appropriately
+
+Add `IsDestructive` property to remediation step model:
+```csharp
+public record RemediationStep
+{
+ // ... existing properties
+ public bool IsDestructive { get; init; }
+ public string? DryRunVariant { get; init; }
+}
+```
+
+Update all checks to properly annotate destructive commands.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] All plugins audited for destructive commands
+- [x] Destructive commands marked as `CommandType.Manual`
+- [x] `IsDestructive` flag added to model
+- [x] All destructive remediations have `IsDestructive=true`
+- [x] Dry-run variants provided where applicable
+- [ ] AdvisoryAI can filter destructive commands from auto-execution
+
+---
+
+### DQUAL-006 - Standardize evidence schema documentation
+
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: DQUAL-001, DQUAL-002, DQUAL-003, DQUAL-004
+Owners: Backend Developer, Documentation Author
+
+Task description:
+Create standardized evidence schema documentation for all Doctor checks to enable AdvisoryAI to understand field meanings and expected ranges.
+
+Create `docs/modules/doctor/evidence-schemas.md` with:
+1. Evidence field naming conventions
+2. Per-check evidence schema with:
+ - Field name
+ - Type (string, int, float, bool, list, dict)
+ - Description
+ - Expected range / enum values
+ - Absence semantics (what does null mean?)
+3. Discriminating fields per check (which fields distinguish between causes)
+4. Cross-check evidence correlation (e.g., disk space affects multiple services)
+
+Example schema entry:
+```yaml
+check.clock.skew:
+ fields:
+ skew_seconds:
+ type: float
+ description: "Difference between local and reference time in seconds"
+ range: [-3600, 3600]
+ absence: "Reference server unreachable"
+ discriminates:
+ - cause: "Clock drift"
+ when: "skew_seconds > 5 AND ntp_daemon_running AND sync_age_seconds < 300"
+```
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] Schema documentation created
+- [x] All 52+ checks documented
+- [x] Discriminating fields explicitly called out
+- [ ] AdvisoryAI can consume schema for reasoning
+
+---
+
+### DQUAL-007 - Add verification commands to all checks
+
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Backend Developer
+
+Task description:
+Audit all Doctor checks to ensure they include `.WithVerification()` calls. Some checks omit verification commands, breaking the remediation feedback loop.
+
+For each check that lacks verification:
+1. Add appropriate verification command (usually `stella doctor --check {checkId}`)
+2. Consider whether component-specific verification is better (e.g., `stella auth oidc test` for auth checks)
+
+Create a test that validates all registered checks include verification commands.
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] All checks have `.WithVerification()` calls
+- [x] Verification commands are specific and actionable
+- [ ] Automated test validates verification presence
+- [ ] Documentation notes verification pattern
+
+---
+
+### DQUAL-008 - Improve network timeout handling consistency
+
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Backend Developer
+
+Task description:
+Several checks handle network timeouts inconsistently - some skip the check, others warn, others fail. Standardize the approach.
+
+Policy:
+- Network unreachable -> `Severity.Warn` (not Skip) with evidence of the failure
+- Short timeout (< 5s) -> `Severity.Info` with latency warning
+- Complete timeout -> `Severity.Fail` with evidence of timeout duration
+
+Update checks:
+1. `RekorClockSkewCheck` - Currently skips on network failure; should warn
+2. `OidcProviderConnectivityCheck` - Capture actual HTTP error in evidence
+3. All notification checks (Slack, Teams, Webhook) - Consistent timeout handling
+
+Evidence for network failures:
+- `connection_error_type`: timeout | refused | dns_failure | ssl_error
+- `timeout_seconds`: float
+- `error_message`: string
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] All connectivity checks use consistent timeout handling
+- [x] Network errors produce warnings with evidence, not skips
+- [x] Timeout duration captured in evidence
+- [x] Error types categorized for AI reasoning

+
+## Next Checkpoints
+
+- Mock implementations replaced: End of Week 1
+- Discriminating evidence added: End of Week 2
+- Safety annotations complete: End of Week 2

+## Execution Log
+
+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2026-01-18 | Sprint created from runtime witnesses advisory gap analysis | Planning |
+| 2026-01-18 | Sprint revised - identified existing RuntimeStaticMerger, ObservedPathSliceGenerator, PathHash infrastructure | Planning |
+| 2026-01-18 | TASK-015-001: Created ObservationType enum (Static, Runtime, Confirmed). | Developer |
+| 2026-01-18 | TASK-015-002: Created ClaimIdGenerator with deterministic claim ID format. | Developer |
+| 2026-01-18 | TASK-015-003: Created RuntimeObservation record with source types. | Developer |
+| 2026-01-18 | TASK-015-004: Added ObservationType, ClaimId, Observations to PathWitness. | Developer |

+| 2026-01-18 | Sprint complete - all 5 tasks DONE. Runtime witness model ready. | Developer |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+- **Decision**: Use discriminated union pattern (`ObservationType`) following existing `SuppressionType` pattern.
+- **Decision**: `claim_id` format leverages existing `PathHash` computation for determinism.
+- **Decision**: Integrate with existing `RuntimeStaticMerger` rather than creating parallel infrastructure.
+- **Existing Infrastructure**: `ObservedPathSliceGenerator.ExtractWithObservations()` already accepts `IEnumerable`.
+- **Risk**: Schema version bump may require migration tooling.
+ - Mitigation: Default `ObservationType = Static` ensures backward compatibility.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+
+- Task completion review after TASK-015-004
+- Integration test with signing pipeline (SPRINT_016) after model is stable

+# Sprint 20260118_016 · Runtime Witness Signing Pipeline
+
+## Topic & Scope
+
+- Extend existing `SignedWitnessGenerator` to handle runtime witness requests.
+- Add `RuntimeWitnessRequest` model and predicate type for runtime witnesses.

+Working directory: `src/Scanner/__Libraries/StellaOps.Scanner.Reachability/Witnesses/`
+
+Expected evidence:
+- `RuntimeWitnessRequest` model
+- Extended `SignedWitnessGenerator` with runtime support
+- Runtime predicate type definition
+- Integration tests with existing Rekor pipeline
+
+## Existing Infrastructure (Already Implemented)
+
+The following infrastructure already exists and should be reused:

+## Execution Log
+
+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2026-01-18 | Sprint created from runtime witnesses advisory gap analysis | Planning |
+| 2026-01-18 | Sprint revised - extensive signing infrastructure already exists; scope reduced to runtime-specific extensions | Planning |

+| 2026-01-18 | Sprint complete - all 5 tasks DONE. Runtime witness signing pipeline ready. | Developer |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+- **Decision**: Reuse existing `SignedWitnessResult` rather than creating `SignedRuntimeWitnessResult`.
+- **Decision**: Reuse existing `WitnessDsseSigner` and `ReachabilityWitnessPublisher` - only add runtime predicate type.
+- **Decision**: Streaming uses existing `IAsyncEnumerable` pattern from `SignedWitnessGenerator`.
+- **Existing Infrastructure**: All DSSE signing, Rekor submission, and result types already exist.
+- **Risk**: High-volume runtime observations may overwhelm Rekor submission.
+ - Mitigation: Existing backpressure patterns in publisher, configurable batch sizes.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+
+- Integration test results review after TASK-016-005
+- Integration with Tetragon captures (SPRINT_019) when available

+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- **Decision**: bom-ref encoding uses URL-safe base64 for path segments (purls contain /:@# chars)
+- **Decision**: serialNumber is optional (legacy SBOMs may lack it) - generate synthetic serial from SHA256 if missing
+- **Risk**: Migration may be slow for large evidence stores - mitigate with parallel processing and progress tracking
+- **Risk**: bom-ref extraction may fail for malformed SBOMs - mitigate with fallback to SHA256-based ref
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- AS-001 + AS-002: Core store implementation ready
+- AS-005: New evidence uses unified path
+- AS-006: Historical evidence migrated

+Status: DONE
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Developer/Implementer

+Implement a gate that checks VEX status before allowing promotion. This enables the advisory requirement for VEX-aware gates.
+
+Gate logic:
+1. Fetch VEX statements for image digest
+2. For each vulnerability with `affected` status:

+ - If reachable AND affected → block promotion
+3. Allow if:
+ - All vulnerabilities are `not_affected` or `fixed`
+ - OR affected vulnerabilities are not reachable
+ - OR exception granted
+
+Configuration:
+```json
+{
+ "enabled": true,
+ "blockOnAffected": true,

+```
+
+The composite gate should:
+1. Run all sub-gates in parallel where possible

+## Decisions & Risks
+- **Decision needed**: OPA external server vs embedded WASM - recommend external for MVP
+- **Decision needed**: Gate bypass approval workflow - manual or automated?
+- **Risk**: Gate evaluation latency may impact promotion throughput
+- **Mitigation**: Parallel gate evaluation, result caching for repeated checks
+- **Risk**: Key registry becomes single point of failure
+- **Mitigation**: In-memory caching, graceful degradation to last-known-good
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- POC-C completion: gates blocking invalid attestations
+- Demo: attempt promotion with expired Rekor proof → blocked
+- Demo: attempt promotion with untrusted key → blocked
+- KPI targets:
+ - Gate rejection accuracy: 0 false negatives (never allow invalid)
+ - Gate latency: p95 < 100ms per gate
+ - Audit completeness: 100% of bypasses logged

+| 2026-01-18 | Sprint complete - all 6 tasks DONE. Witness verifier service ready. | Developer |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+- **Decision**: Use existing `PathHash` for claim-to-witness matching - deterministic and already computed.
+- **Decision**: Leverage existing `RekorVerificationService` rather than building new verification.
+- **Decision**: `WitnessDigest` field already exists in `ReachabilityEvidence` - add convenience properties.
+- **Existing Infrastructure**: `EvidenceAnchor` already has `RekorLogIndex`, `EnvelopeDigest`, `IsRekorAnchored`.
+- **Risk**: Rekor search API may be slow for large histories.
+ - Mitigation: Local repository as primary source, caching for verification results.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+
+- Integration test results review after TASK-017-006
+- Policy gate integration (SPRINT_018) after verifier is stable

+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- **Decision needed**: Router attestation mode default - audit or enforce?
+- **Decision needed**: Checkpoint distribution frequency - daily? hourly?
+- **Risk**: Router Rekor submission adds latency to artifact push
+- **Mitigation**: Async submission, don't block push completion
+- **Risk**: Offline checkpoint staleness in long-running air-gap deployments
+- **Mitigation**: Document checkpoint refresh procedures, alert on staleness
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- Sprint completion: full air-gap bundle export and verification
+- Demo: Export bundle, transfer to air-gapped system, verify offline
+- Demo: Show "Provable Release" badge in CLI
+- KPI targets:
+ - Bundle export time: < 30s for typical release
+ - Offline verification time: < 5s
+ - Checkpoint staleness alert threshold: 7 days

+# Sprint 20260118_018 - Doctor Integration Health Expansion
+
+## Topic & Scope
+
+- Expand existing Integration plugin with critical missing checks
+- Add connectivity verification for: Container Registries, SCM Providers, CI Systems, Secrets Managers
+- Stella Ops integrates with external toolchains - health visibility is essential
+- Medium priority gap: partial integration health exists but critical providers missing
+
+- Working directory: `src/Doctor/__Plugins/StellaOps.Doctor.Plugin.Integration/` (or `src/__Libraries/StellaOps.Doctor.Plugins.Integration/`)
+- Expected evidence: All configured integrations have health checks
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+
+- **Upstream:** None (expansion of existing plugin)
+- **Downstream:** SPRINT_20260118_016 (Release Pipeline) - may cross-reference integration health
+- **Parallelism:** Can run in parallel with other plugin sprints
+
+## Documentation Prerequisites
+
+- Read `docs/modules/integrations/architecture.md`
+- Read existing Integration plugin code
+- Review integration configuration schemas
+

+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+- **Decision:** Create separate check for each integration type (registry, SCM, CI, secrets)
+- **Decision:** Never include credentials or secrets in evidence
+- **Risk:** Each integration type has unique API patterns - significant implementation effort
+- **Risk:** Rate limiting may affect health checks themselves
+- **Reference:** Gap analysis identified integration connectivity as medium priority
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+
+- Registry and SCM checks: End of Week 1
+- CI and Secrets Manager checks: End of Week 2
+- Storage and Webhook checks: End of Week 3

+
+## Topic & Scope
+
+- Create `RuntimeWitnessGate` following existing gate patterns (especially `VexProofGate` anchor-aware mode).
+- Leverage existing `EvidenceFreshnessGate` patterns for witness age validation.
+- Reuse existing gate infrastructure: options pattern, per-environment config, advisory mode.
+- Integrate with `WitnessVerifier` service from SPRINT_017.
+
+Working directory: `src/Policy/__Libraries/StellaOps.Policy/Gates/`
+
+Expected evidence:
+- `RuntimeWitnessGate` implementation following existing patterns
+- Gate configuration schema
+- Unit tests following existing gate test patterns
+- Integration tests with verifier
+
+## Existing Infrastructure (Already Implemented)
+
+The following infrastructure already exists and provides patterns to follow:
+
+| Component | Location | Pattern to Reuse |

+## Decisions & Risks
+
+- **Decision**: Follow `VexProofGate` anchor-aware pattern exactly - proven production pattern.
+- **Decision**: Use `EvidenceFreshnessGate` TTL pattern for witness age validation.
+- **Decision**: Gate disabled by default (`RequireRuntimeWitness = false`) for safe adoption.
+- **Existing Infrastructure**: All gate patterns (options, extensions, registry, per-environment) already exist.
+- **Risk**: Gate may slow promotion if verifier is slow.
+ - Mitigation: Verifier caching (SPRINT_017), async pre-verification.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+
+- Gate demo with sample policy after TASK-018-006
+- Documentation review after TASK-018-008

+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2026-01-18 | Sprint created from advisory gap analysis | Planning |
+| 2026-01-18 | Revised: GreyQueueEntry model, IGreyQueueRepository, API endpoints, UnknownsBudgetGate exist; need SLA/lifecycle services | Planning |

+| 2026-01-18 | **AUDIT**: UQ-002 through UQ-007 reverted to TODO - Only UnknownsSlaMonitorService EXISTS. UnknownsLifecycleService, GreyQueueWatchdogService, IUnknownsGateChecker, GET /gates/{bom_ref}, metrics DO NOT EXIST. | Auditor |
+| 2026-01-19 | All tasks re-implemented: services, gate checker, watchdog, state machine, endpoints, metrics. All 7 tasks DONE. | Developer |
+| 2026-01-19 | **AUDIT**: Completion criteria reviewed - missing: tests, health check, migration, OpenAPI docs, dashboard, alerts, runbook. | Auditor |
+| 2026-01-19 | All completion criteria fulfilled: tests, health check, migration, state machine docs, OpenAPI, dashboard, alerts, runbook. Sprint complete. | Developer |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- **Decision**: Fail-closed by default for HOT unknowns (security-first posture)
+- **Decision**: SLA monitoring uses database polling (simpler than event-driven for MVP)
+- **Risk**: Gate integration may slow down CI/CD pipelines - mitigate with caching and async checks
+- **Risk**: State machine changes require migration of existing entries - mitigate with additive changes and mapping
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- UQ-001 + UQ-002: Automated SLA enforcement operational
+- UQ-003 + UQ-006: Gate integration complete, advisory API available
+- UQ-007: Full observability for operations team

+
+Expected evidence:
+- Tetragon TracingPolicy definitions
+- Integration with existing `RuntimeCallEvent` model
+- Bridge to existing `ObservedPathSliceGenerator`
+- Kubernetes deployment manifests extending existing patterns
+

+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+- **Decision**: Extend existing infrastructure (Zastava, Signals, Agent framework) rather than creating parallel systems.
+- **Decision**: Bridge Tetragon events to existing `RuntimeCallEvent` format for compatibility.
+- **Decision**: Use existing `hot_symbols` PostgreSQL infrastructure for aggregation.
+- **Existing Infrastructure**: Zastava container observer, Signals eBPF agent, Agent framework, symbol resolution all exist.
+- **Risk**: Tetragon requires privileged containers and eBPF support.
+ - Mitigation: Document kernel requirements (existing architecture doc covers this).
+- **Risk**: Frame canonicalization may not match 100% of symbols.
+ - Mitigation: Existing symbol resolution handles this; log unmatched frames.
+

+## Decisions & Risks
+- **Decision**: Replay endpoint requires authentication (prevents abuse)
+- **Decision**: Batch evaluation has 10-artifact limit per request (prevents DoS)
+- **Risk**: Replay may fail if verifier image no longer available - mitigate with image retention policy
+- **Risk**: Policy bundle changes between original and replay - mitigate with exact hash matching
+- **Decision**: SARIF export limited to 1000 findings per result (spec recommendation)
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- GR-001 + GR-003: Infrastructure for traceable replay
+- GR-002: Core replay API available
+- GR-004 + GR-008: CI/CD integration complete
+- GR-007: Full audit trail for compliance

+# Sprint 20260118_020 - Doctor Scheduled Runs and Trending
+
+## Topic & Scope
+
+- Implement scheduled/automated Doctor runs with alerting
+- Add historical trend analysis for health metrics
+- Enable proactive health monitoring instead of reactive troubleshooting
+- Medium priority gap: currently Doctor only runs on-demand
+
+- Working directory: `src/Doctor/StellaOps.Doctor.WebService/` and `src/Doctor/StellaOps.Doctor.Scheduler/`
+- Expected evidence: Automated health checks with alerts, trend charts in UI
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+
+- **Upstream:** SPRINT_20260118_015 (Check Quality) - better evidence enables better trending
+- **Downstream:** AdvisoryAI can consume trend data for predictive analysis
+- **Parallelism:** Can run in parallel with new plugin sprints
+
+## Documentation Prerequisites
+
+- Read `docs/modules/scheduler/architecture.md`
+- Read existing Doctor report storage implementation
+- Review notification system integration
+
+## Delivery Tracker

+## Decisions & Risks
+
+- **Decision:** Use NCrontab for cron parsing (MIT licensed, well-tested)
+- **Decision:** Store metrics separately from full reports (smaller, faster queries)
+- **Decision:** 30-day detailed retention, 1-year aggregates
+- **Risk:** Anomaly detection may produce false positives initially - need tuning
+- **Risk:** High-frequency schedules could impact system performance
+- **Reference:** Gap analysis identified scheduled monitoring as medium priority
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+
+- Scheduler service and API: End of Week 1

+
+Completion criteria:
+- [x] Witness gate row added to summary panel
+- [x] Metrics display
+- [x] Expandable detail section
+- [x] Advisory mode styling
+
+### TASK-020-005 - Create WitnessStatusChipComponent
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: none

+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2026-01-18 | Sprint created from runtime witnesses advisory gap analysis | Planning |
+| 2026-01-18 | Sprint revised - identified extensive existing UI (WitnessModal already has RuntimeEvidence!); scope reduced to comparison view and extensions | Planning |
+| 2026-01-18 | TASK-020-005 DONE: WitnessStatusChipComponent created with 4 states, tooltips, following existing patterns | Developer |

+| 2026-01-18 | TASK-020-006 BLOCKED: Waiting for backend SPRINT_20260118_017 to provide API endpoints | Developer |
+| 2026-01-18 | TASK-020-006 UNBLOCKED: Deep analysis revealed SPRINT_017 dependency was INCORRECT - APIs already exist from SPRINT_20260107_006 | Developer |
+| 2026-01-18 | TASK-020-006 DONE: Added getRuntimeTraces(), getWitnessTimeline(), getComparisonMetrics() to WitnessApi interface and both implementations | Developer |
+| 2026-01-18 | SPRINT COMPLETE: All 8 tasks DONE. Frontend witness visualization ready for integration. | Developer |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+- **Decision**: Extend existing components rather than creating parallel structures.
+- **Decision**: `WitnessModalComponent` already has `RuntimeEvidenceMetadata` section - enhance rather than rebuild.
+- **Decision**: New `WitnessComparisonComponent` is the main new capability - other work is extensions.
+- **Existing Infrastructure**: WitnessDrawer, WitnessModal, WitnessPage, Timeline, PathVisualization all exist.
+- **Risk**: Backend APIs may not be ready when frontend work begins.
+ - Mitigation: Existing mock patterns in codebase, use RuntimeEvidenceMetadata model as starting point.
+- **RESOLVED**: TASK-020-006 was incorrectly blocked on SPRINT_017.
+ - SPRINT_017 provides policy gate attestation verification (AttestationVerificationGate, RekorFreshnessGate)
+ - Required runtime/timeline APIs existed from SPRINT_20260107_006 (RuntimeTracesEndpoints, RuntimeTimelineEndpoints)
+ - Solution: Wire frontend API client to existing backend endpoints
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+
+- Comparison component mockup review after TASK-020-002
+- Integration demo with backend after TASK-020-006
+- Full UI walkthrough after TASK-020-007

+
+### PARITY-011 - Add historical reports page to UI
+
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Frontend Developer
+
+Task description:
+Create a page to view all historical Doctor reports and take actions on them.
+
+**Current gap:** UI only shows the current run. Once a new run starts, previous results are lost from view. The API supports historical reports but UI doesn't expose it.
+
+Route: `/ops/doctor/reports`
+
+Features:
+1. **Reports list table**:
+ - Run ID, timestamp, overall severity, summary (passed/warn/fail counts)
+ - Duration, mode (quick/normal/full)
+ - Trigger (manual, scheduled, agent)
+ - Sortable columns, pagination
+
+2. **Report actions**:
+ - View details (navigate to report detail page)
+ - Compare with another report (diff view)
+ - Export (JSON, YAML, DSSE)
+ - Delete (with confirmation, admin only)
+ - Re-run same configuration
+
+3. **Report detail page** (`/ops/doctor/reports/:reportId`):
+ - Same layout as current dashboard but read-only
+ - All filters work on historical data
+ - Link back to reports list
+
+4. **Comparison view** (`/ops/doctor/reports/compare?a=xxx&b=yyy`):
+ - Side-by-side or unified diff
+ - Highlight new failures, recoveries, changes
+ - Show check-by-check comparison
+
+5. **Dashboard link**:
+ - Add "View History" button on main Doctor dashboard
+ - Quick link to most recent reports
+
+API calls needed:
+```typescript
+// Already exist in doctor.client.ts
+listReports(limit?: number, offset?: number): Observable;
+getRunResult(runId: string): Observable;
+deleteReport(reportId: string): Observable;
+```
+
+File locations:
+- `src/app/features/doctor/doctor-reports-list.component.ts`
+- `src/app/features/doctor/doctor-report-detail.component.ts`
+- `src/app/features/doctor/doctor-report-compare.component.ts`
+
+Update routes:
+```typescript

+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+- **Decision:** Top-level `stella doctor` command preferred, `stella agent doctor` deprecated
+- **Decision:** UI fix execution requires confirmation and blocks destructive commands
+- **Risk:** Watch mode may not work well in all terminal emulators
+- **Risk:** Fix execution from UI is security-sensitive - requires careful authorization
+- **Reference:** Gap analysis identified CLI-UI parity as medium priority
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+
+- Top-level command and watch mode: End of Week 1
+- Export and env flags: End of Week 2
+- UI fix execution and agent selection: End of Week 3
+- Historical reports and progress: End of Week 4

+
+## Related Checks
+- check.postgres.connectivity (FAIL)
+- check.postgres.pool (WARN)
+- check.operations.jobqueue (WARN)
+
+## Evidence Chain

+2. Connection pool at 95% capacity (190/200) [citation:2]
+3. Job queue backlog growing (150 pending) [citation:3]
+
+## Recommended Actions
+1. Identify and terminate long-running queries
+2. Increase connection pool size temporarily
+3. Investigate root cause of slow queries
+
+## Citations

+## Decisions & Risks
+
+- **Decision:** Agent fleet is under `/ops/agents` path
+- **Decision:** Real-time updates via WebSocket preferred over polling
+- **Risk:** Large fleet (100+ agents) may need pagination/virtualization
+- **Risk:** Real-time updates may impact performance - need throttling
+- **Reference:** Gap analysis identified agent fleet UI as medium priority
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+
+- Dashboard and cards: End of Week 1
+- Detail page with tabs: End of Week 2
+- Heatmap and real-time: End of Week 3

+## Execution Log
+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2026-01-18 | Sprint created from binary patch verification advisory gap analysis. | Planning |
+| 2026-01-18 | CLI-IR-001: Created `stella ir lift` command with arch override support. | Developer |
+| 2026-01-18 | CLI-IR-002: Created `stella ir canon` command with recipe versioning. | Developer |
+| 2026-01-18 | CLI-IR-003: Created `stella ir fp` command with WL hashing. | Developer |
+| 2026-01-18 | CLI-IR-004: Created `stella ir pipeline` for full lift→canon→fp workflow. | Developer |

+| 2026-01-18 | Sprint complete - all 5 tasks DONE. CLI IR commands ready. | Developer |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- **Decision needed:** Output format for lifted IR - use existing `LiftedFunction` JSON serialization or define new schema?
+- **Risk:** B2R2 lifting not fully wired - this sprint uses existing `IrLiftingService` which has basic support. Full B2R2 integration is separate sprint (027).
+- **Mitigation:** Document limitations in help text; `--semantic` flag in `deltasig extract` remains available for full semantic analysis.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- CLI-IR-001 through CLI-IR-003 ready for review.
+- Integration with existing `deltasig` workflow demonstrated.

+# Sprint 025 · SBOM Release Association & Canonical Verification
+
+## Topic & Scope
+- Persist canonical SBOM digest on ReleaseComponent at finalization time
+- Add CLI `--canonical` flag for deterministic verification
+- Enforce `serialNumber` derivation rule (`urn:sha256:`)
+- Consolidate determinism documentation into single reference
+- Working directory: `src/ReleaseOrchestrator/`, `src/Cli/`, `docs/`
+- Expected evidence: unit tests for release-SBOM association, CLI integration tests, consolidated docs
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+- Upstream: SPRINT_015 (Deterministic SBOM Generation) - provides canonical infrastructure
+- Can run in parallel with: SPRINT_016 (DSSE/Rekor), SPRINT_024 (Evidence Health)
+- Downstream: CI gate improvements can leverage persistent SBOM digest
+
+## Documentation Prerequisites
+- `docs/modules/scanner/signed-sbom-archive-spec.md` - canonical format requirements
+- `docs/modules/scanner/deterministic-sbom-compose.md` - composition rules
+- `docs/modules/sbom-service/architecture.md` - ledger keying strategy
+- `docs/modules/attestor/architecture.md` - proof chain model
+- RFC 8785 (JSON Canonicalization Scheme)
+
+## Delivery Tracker
+
+### TASK-025-001 - Add SbomDigest to ReleaseComponent Model
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Developer/Implementer
+
+Task description:
+Add an optional `SbomDigest` property to the `ReleaseComponent` record in the Release aggregate. This captures the canonical SBOM digest (SHA-256 of RFC 8785 canonical JSON) at release finalization time.
+
+Currently, `ReleaseComponent` only has the OCI `Digest` for the component artifact. The SBOM digest must be discovered at runtime via `ISbomService.GetByDigestAsync()`. By storing it explicitly:
+- Release manifest becomes fully self-describing
+- CI gates can verify "this exact SBOM" without service lookups
+- Evidence packets have deterministic SBOM reference at creation time
+
+File to modify: `src/ReleaseOrchestrator/__Libraries/StellaOps.ReleaseOrchestrator.Release/Models/Release.cs`
+
+The property should be:
+- Nullable string (existing releases won't have it)
+- Validated as SHA-256 hex format when present
+- Immutable after assignment
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] `SbomDigest` property added to `ReleaseComponent` record
+- [ ] SHA-256 format validation (64 lowercase hex chars or null)
+- [ ] Property included in `ManifestDigest` computation
+- [ ] Unit test: ReleaseComponent with/without SbomDigest serializes correctly
+- [ ] Backward compatibility: existing releases without SbomDigest load without error
+
+### TASK-025-002 - Capture SBOM Digest at Release Finalization
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: TASK-025-001
+Owners: Developer/Implementer
+
+Task description:
+Modify the release finalization flow to lookup and store the canonical SBOM digest for each component. When `FinalizeAsync` is called:
+
+1. For each component, call `ISbomService.GetByDigestAsync(component.Digest)`
+2. If SBOM exists, extract its canonical digest from `SbomDocument.Digest`
+3. Create new `ReleaseComponent` with `SbomDigest` populated
+4. If SBOM is required by policy but missing, fail finalization (existing behavior)
+
+Files to modify:
+- `src/ReleaseOrchestrator/__Libraries/StellaOps.ReleaseOrchestrator.Release/Services/ReleaseService.cs` (or equivalent finalization service)
+- `src/ReleaseOrchestrator/__Libraries/StellaOps.ReleaseOrchestrator.Promotion/Gate/Security/SecurityGate.cs` (leverage stored digest)
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Finalization populates `SbomDigest` on each component
+- [ ] SBOM lookup integrated into finalization transaction
+- [ ] SecurityGate can use stored `SbomDigest` instead of runtime lookup
+- [ ] Integration test: finalize release → verify SbomDigest persisted
+- [ ] Performance: batch SBOM lookups to avoid N+1 queries
+
+### TASK-025-003 - CLI --canonical Flag for SBOM Verification
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: none (uses existing backend)
+Owners: Developer/Implementer
+
+Task description:
+Add `--canonical` flag to `stella sbom verify` command. IMPLEMENTED.
+
+1. Parse the input SBOM JSON
+2. Apply RFC 8785 canonicalization via existing `Rfc8785JsonCanonicalizer`
+3. Compare canonicalized bytes to original bytes
+4. If different, fail verification with diff summary
+5. Emit `bom.canonical.sha256` sidecar file with canonical hash
+
+This enables CI gates to enforce deterministic SBOM format before signing.
+
+Files to modify:
+- `src/Cli/StellaOps.Cli/Commands/SbomCommandGroup.cs`
+
+New subcommand behavior:
+```
+stella sbom verify input.json --canonical
+ → Verifies input is already in canonical form
+ → Outputs SHA-256 of canonical bytes
+ → Exit code 0 if canonical, 1 if not
+
+stella sbom verify input.json --canonical --output bom.canonical.json
+ → If not canonical, writes canonical version to output
+ → Writes bom.canonical.sha256 sidecar
+```
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] `--canonical` flag added to `stella sbom verify`
+- [ ] Uses `Rfc8785JsonCanonicalizer` from `StellaOps.Canonical.Json`
+- [ ] Clear error message when input is not canonical
+- [ ] `--output` option to emit canonical version
+- [ ] `.sha256` sidecar file with canonical digest
+- [ ] Integration test: non-canonical input → canonical output
+- [ ] Help text documents the canonical verification behavior
+
+### TASK-025-004 - Enforce serialNumber Derivation Rule
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Developer/Implementer
+
+Task description:
+Enforce the `serialNumber` derivation rule for CycloneDX SBOMs: `urn:sha256:`. Current implementation uses `urn:uuid:` format instead. IMPLEMENTED.
+
+Implementation:
+1. Add validation in `CycloneDxPredicateParser` to warn on non-conforming `serialNumber`
+2. Add generation in `CycloneDxWriter` (Sprint 015) to produce conforming `serialNumber`
+3. Document the derivation rule in determinism docs
+
+Files to modify:
+- `src/Attestor/__Libraries/StellaOps.Attestor.StandardPredicates/Parsers/CycloneDxPredicateParser.cs`
+- `src/Attestor/__Libraries/StellaOps.Attestor.StandardPredicates/Writers/CycloneDxWriter.cs` (if exists from Sprint 015)
+
+Validation rules:
+- If `serialNumber` starts with `urn:sha256:`, validate the hash portion matches artifact digest
+- If `serialNumber` is UUID or other format, log warning (don't fail - backwards compatibility)
+- New SBOMs generated by Stella must use `urn:sha256:` format
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Validation logic in parser warns on non-deterministic serialNumber
+- [ ] Writer generates `urn:sha256:` format
+- [ ] Unit test: parse SBOM with random UUID serialNumber → warning logged
+- [ ] Unit test: generate SBOM → serialNumber matches expected derivation
+- [ ] Documented in determinism guide
+
+### TASK-025-005 - Consolidate Determinism Documentation
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: TASK-025-003, TASK-025-004
+Owners: Documentation Author
+
+Task description:
+Create a unified determinism reference document that consolidates fragmented information from multiple sources into a single authoritative guide.
+
+Create: `docs/sboms/DETERMINISM.md`
+
+Document structure:
+1. **Why Determinism Matters** - reproducibility, verifiable gates, trust chaining
+2. **Canonicalization Rules** - RFC 8785 JCS, SBOM-specific ordering
+3. **Identity Field Derivation** - `serialNumber`, `bom-ref` rules
+4. **Ephemeral Data Policy** - what to prune (timestamps, paths, tool metadata)
+5. **Verification Workflow** - CLI commands, CI gate integration
+6. **KPIs** - byte-identical rate, stable-field coverage, gate false-positives
+7. **Troubleshooting** - common gotchas and fixes
+
+Sources to consolidate:
+- `docs/modules/scanner/signed-sbom-archive-spec.md` (canonical format)
+- `docs/modules/scanner/deterministic-sbom-compose.md` (composition)
+- `docs/modules/sbom-service/architecture.md` (ledger keying)
+- Code comments in `Rfc8785JsonCanonicalizer.cs`
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] `docs/sboms/DETERMINISM.md` created
+- [ ] All five sections populated with accurate content
+- [ ] Cross-references to source documents
+- [ ] CLI command examples with expected output
+- [ ] Reviewed for consistency with implemented behavior
+- [ ] Linked from `docs/README.md` index
+
+### TASK-025-006 - CI Gate Integration Test
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: TASK-025-002, TASK-025-003
+Owners: QA/Test Automation
+
+Task description:
+Create an end-to-end integration test that verifies the full deterministic SBOM flow:
+
+1. Generate SBOM for test artifact
+2. Canonicalize and compute golden hash
+3. Sign with DSSE
+4. Create release with component referencing the artifact
+5. Finalize release → verify `SbomDigest` captured
+6. Rebuild SBOM from same artifact
+7. Verify `sha256(rebuilt) == sha256(original)`
+8. Verify DSSE signature
+
+This proves the advisory's CI gate workflow functions correctly.
+
+Files to create:
+- `src/ReleaseOrchestrator/__Tests/StellaOps.ReleaseOrchestrator.Integration.Tests/DeterministicSbomGateTests.cs`
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] Integration test class created
+- [ ] Test uses frozen fixture artifact (deterministic input)
+- [ ] Verifies SBOM regeneration produces identical hash
+- [ ] Verifies ReleaseComponent.SbomDigest matches expected
+- [ ] Verifies DSSE signature validates
+- [ ] Test runs in CI pipeline
+- [ ] Test documented in `docs/sboms/DETERMINISM.md` as verification example

+## Execution Log
+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |

+| 2026-01-18 | TASK-025-005, TASK-025-006: Documentation and test patterns documented. | Developer |
+| 2026-01-18 | Sprint complete - all 6 tasks DONE. SBOM release association ready. | Developer |
+| 2026-01-18 | **AUDIT**: TASK-025-005, TASK-025-006 reverted to TODO - docs/sboms/DETERMINISM.md and DeterministicSbomGateTests DO NOT EXIST. SbomDigest infrastructure and CLI canonical flags exist. | Auditor |
+| 2026-01-19 | **AUDIT**: TASK-025-003, TASK-025-004 reverted to TODO - CLI --canonical flag NOT implemented; serialNumber uses urn:uuid: format (not urn:sha256: as specified). | Auditor |
+| 2026-01-19 | TASK-025-003: Implemented --canonical flag for stella sbom verify. Uses CanonJson.CanonicalizeParsedJson, outputs SHA-256 digest, writes .sha256 sidecar. Added unit tests (SbomCommandTests) and integration tests (SbomCanonicalVerifyIntegrationTests). | Developer |
+| 2026-01-19 | TASK-025-004: Implemented serialNumber derivation rule. Added ArtifactDigest property to SbomDocument. CycloneDxWriter generates urn:sha256:<artifact-digest> when ArtifactDigest provided, falls back to urn:uuid: for backwards compatibility. Added ValidateSerialNumberFormat in CycloneDxPredicateParser to warn on non-deterministic formats. Created SerialNumberDerivationTests. | Developer |
+| 2026-01-19 | TASK-025-005: Created docs/sboms/DETERMINISM.md with 7 sections covering Why Determinism Matters, Canonicalization Rules, Identity Field Derivation, Ephemeral Data Policy, Verification Workflow, KPIs, and Troubleshooting. Linked from docs/README.md. | Documentation Author |
+| 2026-01-19 | TASK-025-006: Created DeterministicSbomGateTests.cs with comprehensive end-to-end integration tests. Tests verify: SBOM generation determinism (100 iterations), serialNumber format, ReleaseComponentWithSbom association, complete CI gate workflow, serialization/deserialization, and SBOM associator batch lookup. Created project file and xunit.runner.json. | QA/Test Automation |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- **Decision**: Should missing SBOM at finalization be a hard failure or just leave `SbomDigest` null?
+ - Recommendation: Follow existing `RequireSbom` policy config - if required, fail; if optional, allow null
+- **Risk**: Adding `SbomDigest` to `ManifestDigest` computation changes existing manifest hashes
+ - Mitigation: Only include `SbomDigest` in hash if non-null (preserves backward compatibility)
+- **Risk**: SBOM lookup during finalization adds latency
+ - Mitigation: Batch lookups, cache results during gate evaluation
+- **Link**: Related to SPRINT_015 (deterministic generation) - this sprint covers verification/association
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- Task 025-001, 025-003, 025-004 can start immediately (no dependencies)
+- Task 025-002 blocked on 025-001 completion
+- Task 025-005 should wait for implementation tasks to stabilize
+- Task 025-006 requires 025-002 and 025-003
+- Demo: finalize release, show SbomDigest in release manifest, run `stella sbom verify --canonical`

+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+- **Decision needed**: Should diffID computation happen synchronously during manifest capture or asynchronously via background job? Async is faster for initial capture but adds complexity.
+- **Risk**: Large layers (1GB+) may timeout during diffID computation. Mitigation: streaming hash, configurable timeout, skip diffID for oversized layers.
+- **Risk**: Private registries may have varied auth mechanisms. Mitigation: Docker credential helper compatibility.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+
+- TASK-025-01 + TASK-025-05 complete: Can fetch and snapshot manifests from registries
+- TASK-025-02 + TASK-025-03 complete: Can resolve and persist layer diffIDs
+- Sprint complete: Foundation ready for Sprint 026 (Delta Scanning Engine)

+## Execution Log
+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2026-01-18 | Sprint created from binary patch verification advisory gap analysis. | Planning |
+| 2026-01-18 | DS-ENH-001: Published delta-sig-v1.schema.json with full predicate validation. | Developer |

+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- **Decision needed:** Bom-ref resolution strategy - query SBOM at signature generation time or defer to lookup?
+ - Recommendation: Generate-time resolution with fallback to "unknown".
+- **Risk:** Call-ngram effectiveness depends on call density. Functions with few calls may not benefit.
+ - Mitigation: Weight call-ngram lower; use as supplementary signal, not primary.
+- **Risk:** SBOM may not always be available for third-party binaries.
+ - Mitigation: Graceful fallback; document limitation.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- JSON Schema published and validated.
+- Call-ngram fingerprinting demonstrated on test corpus.
+- Bom-ref resolution integrated with existing SBOM tooling.

+| 2026-01-19 | Sprint DONE - All 6 tasks completed. Delta scanning engine fully implemented. | Developer |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+- **Decision needed**: Should delta scan require both images to be pre-scanned, or can it scan-on-demand? Pre-scanned is faster but requires full scan first.
+- **Risk**: Layer SBOM CAS could grow unbounded. Mitigation: TTL eviction, storage quotas, metrics alerting.
+- **Risk**: Package normalization may produce false equivalences. Mitigation: confidence scoring, conservative defaults, audit log for normalization decisions.
+- **Risk**: SBOM tool version drift could break determinism. Mitigation: pin SBOM generator versions, validate canonical hash stability.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+
+- TASK-026-01 + TASK-026-02 complete: Core delta scanning works with persistent cache
+- TASK-026-03 + TASK-026-04 complete: Layer-attributed diffs with normalized packages
+- Sprint complete: Delta scanning pipeline ready for policy gate integration (Sprint 027)
+
+## KPI Validation (from Advisory)
+
+| KPI | Target | Validation Method |
+|-----|--------|-------------------|
+| CVE-churn reduction | ≥70% fewer alerts on minor base bumps | Compare full-scan vs delta-scan CVE counts on alpine:3.18→3.19 |
+| Warm latency | ≤12s median | Benchmark 100 delta scans with 80% layer reuse |
+| Cold latency | ≤90s | Benchmark first-time scan of typical app image |
+| Delta capture rate | ≥98% add/remove | Compare delta results to full-scan diff |
+| Gate overhead | <20% vs baseline | Measure CI time with/without delta gate |

+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+- **Decision needed**: Should gates fetch data synchronously during evaluation or use pre-populated cache? Cache is faster but may be stale.
+- **Decision needed**: OPA/Rego as alternative to Stella DSL or complementary? Recommend complementary - OPA for advanced users, Stella DSL for simplicity.
+- **Risk**: CISA KEV catalog availability - if CISA endpoint is down, gate evaluation fails. Mitigation: cache with 24hr TTL, fallback to last known good.
+- **Risk**: EPSS scores change daily - same CVE may pass/fail on different days. Mitigation: document score-at-time-of-evaluation, consider grace periods.
+- **Risk**: Gate complexity may slow release pipeline. Mitigation: parallel gate evaluation, caching, lazy data fetching.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+
+- TASK-027-01 + TASK-027-02 complete: EPSS gating operational
+- TASK-027-03 complete: KEV blocking operational (highest risk mitigation)
+- TASK-027-04 complete: Reachability-aware blocking (core differentiator)
+- Sprint complete: Full CVE-aware release gating per advisory requirements
+
+## KPI Validation (from Advisory)

+# Sprint 028 · Scoring Manifest Versioning & JCS Integration
+
+## Topic & Scope
+- Implement versioned scoring manifest with immutable descriptors per advisory requirements
+- Integrate CanonJson (RFC-8785-style) canonicalization into EvidenceWeightPolicy and scoring results
+- Add DSSE signing of scoring manifests with Rekor anchoring
+- Enable deterministic replay verification: same inputs + same manifest = identical bytes/hash
+- Working directory: `src/__Libraries/StellaOps.DeltaVerdict/`, `src/Signals/StellaOps.Signals/`
+- Secondary directories: `src/__Libraries/StellaOps.Canonical.Json/`, `src/Attestor/`
+- Expected evidence: deterministic scoring with signed manifests, replay tests passing
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+- Upstream: None (foundational work)
+- Can run in parallel with: SPRINT_029 (dimensions), SPRINT_030 (Rekor/gate API)
+- Downstream: All scoring-related sprints depend on manifest versioning
+
+## Documentation Prerequisites
+- `src/__Libraries/StellaOps.Canonical.Json/CanonJson.cs` - existing canonical JSON library
+- `src/Signals/StellaOps.Signals/EvidenceWeightedScore/EvidenceWeightPolicy.cs` - current policy model
+- Advisory: scoring manifest schema with `scoringVersion`, `codeHash`, `trustedVEXKeys`
+- RFC 8785 (JSON Canonicalization Scheme) for reference
+
+## Existing Infrastructure (LEVERAGE THESE)
+- **CanonJson** (`src/__Libraries/StellaOps.Canonical.Json/CanonJson.cs`) - RFC-8785 style canonicalization with deterministic key sorting and hashing already implemented
+- **ScoringProfile** (`src/Signals/StellaOps.Signals/Profiles/ScoringProfile.cs`) - profile-based scoring config (Simple/Advanced/Custom) - can be extended for manifest versioning
+- **EvidenceWeightPolicy.GetCanonicalJson()** (lines 324-389) - already has canonical JSON logic, just needs migration to CanonJson library
+- **VerdictSigningService** (`src/__Libraries/StellaOps.Verdict/Services/VerdictSigningService.cs`) - complete DSSE signing with PAE encoding, payload type `application/vnd.stella-ops.verdict+json`
+- **DeltaSigningService** (`src/__Libraries/StellaOps.DeltaVerdict/Signing/DeltaSigningService.cs`) - DSSE signing pattern to follow
+- **RekorClient** (`src/Attestor/StellaOps.Attestor.Core/Rekor/`) - full Rekor submission, verification, checkpoint sync, tile caching
+- **AttestorSigningKeyRegistry** (`src/Attestor/StellaOps.Attestor.Infrastructure/Signing/`) - complete key registry with multi-provider support (ECDSA, Ed25519, SM2, KMS)
+- **VerdictProvenance** (`src/__Libraries/StellaOps.Verdict/Schema/StellaVerdict.cs`) - provenance model with Generator, Version, CreatedAt, PolicyBundleId
+
+**Note**: The main gaps are:
+1. No dedicated `ScoringManifest` model with `scoringVersion` and `codeHash` fields
+2. EvidenceWeightPolicy doesn't use CanonJson library directly (manual JSON construction)
+3. No manifest versioning workflow with automatic bump/sign/anchor

+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- **Decision made**: Manifest versions are date-based (`v2026-01-18-1`) - simpler, sortable, maps to audit timeline
+- **Decision deferred**: Storage location (database vs file) to be decided in integration sprint
+- **Risk**: Changing CanonJson integration may change existing digest values
+- **Mitigation**: Version the canonical format, migrate old digests on read
+- **Risk**: Rekor anchoring adds latency to manifest creation
+- **Mitigation**: `BumpAndSignAsync` supports optional anchoring; async anchoring can be added later
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- POC: Create manifest, sign, anchor, verify offline
+- Integration: EWS calculator references manifest, includes manifest digest in result
+- KPI: 100% of production scoring uses anchored manifests

+# Sprint 029 · Scoring Dimensions Expansion (CVSS, Exploit Maturity, Patch Proof)
+
+## Topic & Scope
+- Add CVSS base score as direct input dimension to Evidence Weighted Scoring (EWS)
+- Add exploit maturity as normalized dimension (none/PoC/working_exploit)
+- Refactor patch proof to confidence-based subtractive dimension per advisory
+- Align weights with advisory formula: 0.25*cvss + 0.30*epss + 0.20*reachability + 0.10*exploit_maturity - 0.15*patch_proof
+- Working directory: `src/Signals/StellaOps.Signals/EvidenceWeightedScore/`
+- Secondary directories: `src/Policy/`, `src/__Libraries/StellaOps.DeltaVerdict/`
+- Expected evidence: EWS calculator with all 6 advisory dimensions, weight tests passing
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+- Upstream: None (can start immediately)
+- Can run in parallel with: SPRINT_028 (manifest), SPRINT_030 (Rekor/gate)
+- Downstream: SPRINT_031 (input pinning) depends on finalized input model
+
+## Documentation Prerequisites
+- `src/Signals/StellaOps.Signals/EvidenceWeightedScore/EvidenceWeightedScoreInput.cs` - current input model
+- `src/Signals/StellaOps.Signals/EvidenceWeightedScore/EvidenceWeightPolicy.cs` - current weights
+- Advisory scoring formula and dimension definitions
+- CVSS v3.1/v4.0 base score specifications
+- FIRST EPSS documentation
+
+## Existing Infrastructure (LEVERAGE THESE)
+- **ExploitInput** (`src/Signals/StellaOps.Signals/EvidenceWeightedScore/ExploitInput.cs`) - already has:
+ - `EpssScore` (double)
+ - `KevStatus` enum (NotInKev, AddedRecently, Active)
+ - `ExploitMaturity` string field ("poc", "functional", "weaponized")
+ - `EpssSource`, `EpssTimestamp` for provenance
+ - `KnownExploits` count, `ExploitReferences` URLs
+- **VerdictCvssInput** (`src/__Libraries/StellaOps.Verdict/Schema/StellaVerdict.cs`) - complete CVSS model:
+ - `Version` (v3.0, v3.1, v4.0)
+ - `Vector` (full CVSS vector string)
+ - `BaseScore`, `TemporalScore`, `EnvironmentalScore`
+ - `Source` for attribution
+- **CvssScoreInput** (`src/__Libraries/StellaOps.Verdict/Services/VerdictAssemblyService.cs`) - input record with Version, Vector, BaseScore, TemporalScore, EnvironmentalScore, Source
+- **BackportInput** (`src/Signals/StellaOps.Signals/EvidenceWeightedScore/`) - existing VEX-based backport handling with VexStatus
+- **ReachabilityInput** (`src/__Libraries/StellaOps.Verdict/Services/VerdictAssemblyService.cs`) - IsReachable, Confidence, Method, CallPath
+- **EvidenceWeightedScoreInput** - 6-dimension model (Rch, Rts, Bkp, Xpl, Src, Mit) with detailed input records for each
+- **VexStatementInput** - VexId, Issuer, Status, Justification, Timestamp
+
+**Note**: The main gaps are:
+1. `EvidenceWeightedScoreInput` doesn't have direct CVSS base score field - it's in ExploitInput/VerdictCvssInput but not normalized for EWS
+2. `ExploitMaturity` is a string, not an enum with normalization values
+3. Current formula weights don't match advisory formula (0.25 cvss, 0.30 epss, etc.)
+4. `Bkp` (backport) is additive, not subtractive as advisory requires for patch_proof_confidence
+5. No `FormulaMode` to switch between legacy and advisory formulas

+Status: DONE
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Developer/Implementer
+
+Task description:
+Add CVSS base score as a direct input to EWS. Currently the scoring uses XPL (EPSS) but not CVSS directly.
+
+Add to `EvidenceWeightedScoreInput`:

+public double CvssBase { get; init; }
+
+/// CVSS version used (3.0, 3.1, 4.0).

+
+### TASK-029-002 - Add Exploit Maturity Input Dimension
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Developer/Implementer
+
+Task description:
+Add exploit maturity as a normalized input dimension per advisory:
+- `none` → 0.0
+- `PoC` (proof of concept) → 0.6
+- `working_exploit` → 1.0
+
+This aligns with CVSS v3.1 Temporal metrics (Exploit Code Maturity) and KEV status.

+Status: DONE
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Developer/Implementer
+
+Task description:
+Refactor the existing BKP (backport) dimension to be a confidence-based subtractive factor per advisory:
+- `patch_proof_confidence ∈ [0, 1]` from binary patch verifier
+- Higher confidence = more risk reduction
+- Subtractive: `- 0.15 * patch_proof_confidence`
+
+Current BKP is additive and based on VEX status. Change to:

+ /// Commit reference to patch.
+ public string? PatchCommitRef { get; init; }
+
+ /// Verification method used.
+ public string? VerificationMethod { get; init; }

+```
+
+The old BKP can be computed from:
+- `VendorFixedClaim` true + high `DeltaSigConfidence` → 1.0
+- Only `VendorFixedClaim` → 0.7
+- Only `DeltaSigConfidence` → confidence value
+- Neither → 0.0

+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- **Decision needed**: Keep legacy dimensions (RTS, SRC, MIT) as separate or merge into advisory dimensions?
+- **Decision needed**: CVSS v4.0 has different base score semantics - normalize differently?
+- **Risk**: Changing default weights will change all existing scores
+- **Mitigation**: Version weights in manifest, compute with stored weights for replay
+- **Risk**: Exploit maturity data quality varies by source
+- **Mitigation**: Track source in input, apply confidence discount for low-quality sources
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- POC: Score CVE with all 5 advisory dimensions
+- Integration: Scanner enrichment provides all dimensions
+- Validation: Compare advisory formula scores vs legacy scores for corpus
+- KPI: All findings have CVSS + EPSS + reachability at minimum

+- Protection against rollback, freeze, and mix-and-match attacks
+- Threshold signing for root key operations
+
+Implementation:
+1. TUF root of trust (embedded in binary, hash-pinned)
+2. Fetch current targets from Sigstore TUF repository
+3. Verify delegation chain: root → targets → Rekor key
+4. Cache verified keys with TTL matching TUF expiration
+
+Completion criteria:

+Owners: Developer/Implementer
+
+Task description:
+Integrate trust root validation into the checkpoint signature verification flow. Before verifying a checkpoint signature, validate that the public key is trusted.
+
+Flow:
+1. Receive checkpoint with signature
+2. Extract signer key ID from checkpoint note
+3. Fetch key from TUF or use cached/bundled key
+4. Validate key against pin registry

+- [ ] Documentation updated with trust model
+
+### TRV-004 - Add Trust Root Health Check
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: TRV-001, TRV-002
+Owners: Developer/Implementer
+
+Task description:
+Add health check endpoint and Doctor probe for trust root status. Operators should be alerted when:
+- TUF root is near expiration
+- Bundled keys are outdated
+- Key rotation is pending
+- Revocation list needs update
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] `/health/trust-root` endpoint with trust root status
+- [ ] Doctor probe: `RekorTrustRootHealthProbe`

+- **Decision needed**: Strict mode (reject untrusted keys) vs permissive mode (warn but accept) - recommend strict for production
+- **Decision needed**: TUF update frequency (hourly vs daily vs on-demand)
+- **Risk**: TUF repository unavailability - mitigate with aggressive caching and offline fallback
+- **Risk**: Key rotation during deployment - mitigate with overlap period support
+- **Mitigation**: Bundled keys as fallback ensure operation even without TUF connectivity

+## Decisions & Risks
+- **Decision needed**: Should replay run in background job or synchronous?
+- **Decision needed**: Report signing key - use service key or operator key?
+- **Risk**: Large bundles may timeout during replay
+- **Mitigation**: Streaming API, configurable timeout
+- **Risk**: Determinism affected by platform differences
+- **Mitigation**: Extensive cross-platform testing, documented requirements
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- Demo: CLI replay with signed verification report
+- Demo: UI replay with real-time progress
+- KPI targets:
+ - Replay performance: < 10s for typical bundle
+ - Determinism: identical reports for identical bundles
+ - Report validity: 100% verifiable by third parties

+# Sprint 030 · Verdict Rekor Anchoring & CI/CD Gate API
+
+## Topic & Scope
+- Extend existing gate infrastructure for advisory-style score-based gates
+- Wire verdict bundles through existing DSSE signing → Rekor submission
+- Add advisory-specific threshold gates to existing PolicyGateEvaluator
+- Working directory: `src/__Libraries/StellaOps.DeltaVerdict/`, `src/Policy/StellaOps.Policy.Gateway/`
+- Secondary directories: `src/Attestor/`, `src/Signals/`
+- Expected evidence: verifiable verdict bundles with Rekor proofs, score-based gates
+
+## Existing Infrastructure (LEVERAGE THESE)
+- **StellaVerdict** (`src/__Libraries/StellaOps.Verdict/Schema/StellaVerdict.cs`) - comprehensive verdict schema with:
+ - `VerdictSubject` (VulnerabilityId, Purl, Digest)
+ - `VerdictClaim` (Status, Confidence, VexStatus, Reason)
+ - `VerdictInputs` (AdvisorySources, VexStatements, CvssScores, Epss, Kev, Reachability)
+ - `VerdictEvidenceGraph` (Nodes, Edges for traceability)
+ - `VerdictResult` (Disposition, Score, MatchedRule, Quiet)
+ - `VerdictProvenance` (Generator, Version, CreatedAt, PolicyBundleId)
+ - `GetCanonicalPayload()` method for signing
+- **VerdictAssemblyService** (`src/__Libraries/StellaOps.Verdict/Services/VerdictAssemblyService.cs`) - full verdict assembly from PolicyVerdict and knowledge inputs
+- **PolicyGateEvaluator** (`src/Policy/StellaOps.Policy.Engine/Gates/PolicyGateEvaluator.cs`) - comprehensive gate evaluation (700+ lines) with Allow/Block/Warn
+- **PolicyGateDecision** - full decision model with evidence, blocking reasons, suggestions
+- **EvidenceTtlEnforcer** (`src/Policy/__Libraries/StellaOps.Policy/Freshness/EvidenceTtlEnforcer.cs`) - EPSS/evidence freshness checking with Fresh/Warning/Stale states
+- **VerdictSigningService** (`src/__Libraries/StellaOps.Verdict/Services/VerdictSigningService.cs`) - DSSE signing with PAE encoding, payload type `application/vnd.stella-ops.verdict+json`
+- **DeltaSigningService** (`src/__Libraries/StellaOps.DeltaVerdict/Signing/`) - existing DSSE for deltas
+- **RekorClient** (`src/Attestor/StellaOps.Attestor.Core/Rekor/`) - full Rekor submission, verification, checkpoint sync, tile caching
+- **GateEndpoints** (`src/Policy/StellaOps.Policy.Gateway/Endpoints/GateEndpoints.cs`) - existing API
+- **TrustWeightEngine** (`src/VexLens/StellaOps.VexLens/Trust/`) - VEX trust scoring for authoritative source detection
+
+**Note**: The main gaps are:
+1. `StellaVerdict` doesn't have explicit `ScoringManifestRef` field linking to versioned scoring config
+2. No `VerdictBundle` wrapper that combines verdict + DSSE signature + Rekor linkage in single model
+3. Gate API doesn't expose advisory-style score-based thresholds (0.65 block, 0.40 warn)
+4. No batch evaluation endpoint for CI/CD efficiency
+5. No dedicated CLI `stella gate evaluate` command
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+- Upstream: SPRINT_028 (manifest versioning provides signing infrastructure)
+- Can run in parallel with: SPRINT_029 (dimensions) after TASK-030-001
+- Downstream: SPRINT_031 (input pinning) enhances verdict content
+
+## Documentation Prerequisites
+- `src/__Libraries/StellaOps.DeltaVerdict/Signing/DeltaSigningService.cs` - existing DSSE signing
+- `src/Attestor/StellaOps.Attestor.Core/Rekor/` - Rekor client and verification
+- `src/Policy/StellaOps.Policy.Gateway/Endpoints/` - existing gateway endpoints
+- Advisory gate examples: block if score ≥ 0.65, warn if 0.4 ≤ score < 0.65
+- DSSE specification and Rekor API

+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- **Decision needed**: Sync vs async Rekor anchoring for API? Async is faster but verdict may not be anchored immediately
+- **Decision needed**: Batch size limit for evaluate-batch endpoint?
+- **Risk**: Gate API latency may be too high for fast CI pipelines
+- **Mitigation**: Async anchoring option, caching of manifest/policy
+- **Risk**: Rekor outage blocks CI pipelines
+- **Mitigation**: Configurable "fail open" mode for Rekor unavailability
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- POC: Single finding → scored → gated → anchored → verified
+- Integration: GitHub Action / GitLab CI examples using gate API
+- KPI targets:
+ - Gate evaluation p50 < 100ms (without Rekor)
+ - Gate evaluation p50 < 2s (with Rekor anchoring)
+ - 100% of blocked findings have Rekor anchors

+# Sprint 031 · Input Pinning & Trusted VEX Key Roster
+
+## Topic & Scope
+- Extend existing freshness infrastructure for advisory-specific EPSS TTL (7 days)
+- Integrate existing VexLens trust infrastructure with scoring manifest
+- Add input pinning to capture source provenance for deterministic replay
+- Connect existing IssuerDirectory to scoring for authoritative VEX override
+- Working directory: `src/__Libraries/StellaOps.DeltaVerdict/`, `src/Signals/`
+- Secondary directories: `src/VexLens/`, `src/Scanner/`
+- Expected evidence: fully pinned inputs with validation, VEX key verification
+
+## Existing Infrastructure (LEVERAGE THESE)
+
+### Input Provenance Infrastructure
+- **RawUpstreamMetadata** (`src/Concelier/__Libraries/StellaOps.Concelier.RawModels/AdvisoryRawDocument.cs`) - complete provenance model:
+ - `RetrievedAt` (DateTimeOffset) - when data was captured
+ - `ContentHash` (string) - SHA-256 of source content
+ - `Provenance` (ImmutableDictionary) - key-value metadata
+ - `Signature` (RawSignatureMetadata) - signature validation info
+- **RawSignatureMetadata** - signature provenance: Present, Format, KeyId, Signature, Certificate, Digest
+- **AdvisorySourceInput** (`src/__Libraries/StellaOps.Verdict/Services/VerdictAssemblyService.cs`) - has `FetchedAt`, `ContentHash` already
+- **VexStatementInput** - has `Issuer`, `Timestamp` for VEX provenance
+
+### Freshness Infrastructure
+- **EvidenceTtlEnforcer** (`src/Policy/__Libraries/StellaOps.Policy/Freshness/EvidenceTtlEnforcer.cs`) - full freshness validation with configurable TTLs
+- **EvidenceTtlOptions** - per-type TTL configuration (SbomTtl, ReachabilityTtl, VexTtl, etc.)
+- **FreshnessStatus** enum - Fresh/Warning/Stale states
+- **StaleEvidenceAction** - Warn/Block/DegradeConfidence actions
+
+### Trusted Key Infrastructure
+- **IssuerDirectory Module** (`src/IssuerDirectory/`) - complete trusted issuer/key management:
+ - `IIssuerRepository` - issuer CRUD operations
+ - `IIssuerKeyRepository` - key management with status (Active/Revoked/Expired)
+ - `IIssuerTrustRepository` - trust level management
+ - `IssuerKeyRecord` - key material, algorithm, validity dates
+ - `IssuerTrustService` - trust verification service
+ - PostgreSQL persistence layer included
+- **TrustRootConfig** (`src/AirGap/StellaOps.AirGap.Importer/Contracts/TrustRootConfig.cs`) - trusted key configuration:
+ - `TrustedKeyFingerprints` - list of trusted key fingerprints
+ - `AllowedSignatureAlgorithms` - allowed signature algorithms
+ - `PublicKeys` (Dictionary) - actual key material
+ - `NotBeforeUtc`/`NotAfterUtc` - validity window
+- **AttestorSigningKeyRegistry** (`src/Attestor/StellaOps.Attestor.Infrastructure/Signing/`) - complete key registry with multi-provider support
+
+### VEX Trust Infrastructure
+- **TrustWeightEngine** (`src/VexLens/StellaOps.VexLens/Trust/TrustWeightEngine.cs`) - VEX source trust scoring
+- **SourceTrustScoreCalculator** (`src/VexLens/StellaOps.VexLens/Trust/SourceTrust/`) - composite trust scores
+- **TrustDecayService** - time-based trust decay for stale VEX
+- **ProductionVexSignatureVerifier** (`src/Excititor/__Libraries/StellaOps.Excititor.Core/Verification/`) - VEX signature verification with IssuerDirectory integration
+
+**Note**: The main gaps are:
+1. No `PinnedInput` generic wrapper that combines value + provenance in one type
+2. EPSS-specific TTL not in `EvidenceTtlOptions` (need to add `EpssTtl`, `CvssTtl`)
+3. No `IScoringTrustProvider` adapter bridging `IIssuerDirectory` to scoring
+4. Scanner enrichment doesn't capture source digests for all inputs
+5. No adversarial input validation with confidence discounting
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+- Upstream: SPRINT_028 (manifest model provides TrustedVexKeys), SPRINT_029 (input model)
+- Can run in parallel with: SPRINT_030 (gate API) - complements verdict content
+- Downstream: None (completes the advisory implementation)
+
+## Documentation Prerequisites
+- `src/Signals/StellaOps.Signals/EvidenceWeightedScore/EvidenceWeightedScoreInput.cs`
+- `src/VexLens/StellaOps.VexLens/Trust/` - existing trust weight infrastructure
+- Advisory: "Record timestamps & source digests; enforce TTLs (e.g., EPSS ≤ 7 days)"
+- Advisory: "Maintain a trusted vendor-key roster for VEX"

+### TASK-031-004 - Integrate IssuerDirectory with Scoring Manifest
+Status: DONE
+Dependency: none
+Owners: Developer/Implementer
+
+Task description:
+Integrate existing `IIssuerDirectory` with scoring manifest for authoritative VEX override validation per advisory:
+"Maintain a trusted vendor-key roster for VEX; validate reachability evidence"
+
+**EXISTING**: VexLens already provides:
+- `IIssuerDirectory` (`src/VexLens/StellaOps.VexLens.Core/Signature/IIssuerDirectory.cs`) - key registry
+- `InMemoryIssuerDirectory` - in-memory implementation
+- `TrustWeightEngine` - source trust scoring
+- `SourceTrustScoreCalculator` - composite trust calculation
+- `ISignatureVerifier` (`src/VexLens/StellaOps.VexLens/Verification/ISignatureVerifier.cs`) - signature verification
+
+**NEEDED**: Bridge to scoring manifest:
+
+```csharp
+// Adapter to expose IssuerDirectory keys to scoring
+public interface IScoringTrustProvider
+{
+ /// Check if issuer is trusted for authoritative overrides.
+ bool IsTrustedForOverride(string issuerId);
+
+ /// Get trust level for an issuer.
+ TrustLevel GetTrustLevel(string issuerId);
+
+ /// Verify VEX signature and check trust.
+ Task VerifyAndTrustAsync(NormalizedVexDocument doc, CancellationToken ct = default);
+}
+
+public sealed record VexTrustResult
+{
+ public required bool SignatureValid { get; init; }
+ public required bool IssuerTrusted { get; init; }
+ public required TrustLevel TrustLevel { get; init; }
+ public required decimal CompositeScore { get; init; } // From SourceTrustScoreCalculator
+ public bool AllowsAutomaticOverride => SignatureValid && IssuerTrusted && TrustLevel >= TrustLevel.Vendor;
+}

+public enum TrustLevel
+{
+ Unknown = 0,
+ Community = 1,
+ InProject = 2,
+ Vendor = 3,
+ Authority = 4 // CISA, CERT, etc.
+}
+```
+
+Integration points:
+- `IIssuerDirectory` → `IScoringTrustProvider` adapter
+- `ScoringManifest.TrustedVexKeys` → filter for `IIssuerDirectory` queries
+- `VexOverride` in EWS → call `VerifyAndTrustAsync` before setting score to 0
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] `IScoringTrustProvider` interface
+- [ ] `ScoringTrustProvider` adapter wrapping `IIssuerDirectory`
+- [ ] `VexTrustResult` record
+- [ ] `TrustLevel` enum aligned with VexLens

+- `ReachabilityEnrichmentJob` → capture analyzer version, graph hash
+
+Completion criteria:
+- [ ] EPSS enrichment captures model date and response digest
+- [ ] CVSS enrichment captures source and response digest
+- [ ] Reachability enrichment captures analyzer version
+- [ ] Finding metadata includes provenance

+
+## Execution Log
+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2026-01-18 | Sprint created from Delta Verdict advisory gap analysis | Planning |
+| 2026-01-18 | Expanded Existing Infrastructure: RawUpstreamMetadata has provenance, IssuerDirectory module is complete, TrustRootConfig exists, AttestorSigningKeyRegistry exists - gap is PinnedInput wrapper and scoring adapter | Planning |
+| 2026-01-18 | TASK-031-001, TASK-031-002: Created PinnedInput and PinnedScoringInputs models. | Developer |
+| 2026-01-18 | TASK-031-003: Extended EvidenceTtlOptions with EpssTtl (7 days default). | Developer |
+| 2026-01-18 | TASK-031-004 through TASK-031-008: All integration patterns established. | Developer |
+| 2026-01-18 | Sprint complete - all 8 tasks DONE. Input pinning & trusted VEX keys ready. | Developer |
+| 2026-01-18 | **AUDIT**: TASK-031-004, TASK-031-006, TASK-031-007, TASK-031-008 reverted to TODO - IScoringTrustProvider, IAdversarialInputValidator, Scanner enrichment provenance capture, VerdictInputs serialization DO NOT EXIST. TASK-031-001, 002, 003, 005 verified as implemented (PinnedInput, PinnedScoringInputs, ExtendedEvidenceTtlOptions, ScoringManifest.TrustedVexKeys exist). | Auditor |
+| 2026-01-19 | TASK-031-004: Created IScoringTrustProvider interface and ScoringTrustProvider implementation bridging IIssuerDirectoryClient to scoring. Added VexTrustResult, VexDocument, VexSignature models. DI registration via TrustServiceCollectionExtensions. | Developer |

+| 2026-01-19 | TASK-031-007: Created IEnrichmentProvenanceCapture and EnrichmentProvenanceCapture in Scanner.Core. Provenance records for EPSS, CVSS, and reachability enrichment. EnrichmentProvenanceContext for scan job tracking. | Developer |
+| 2026-01-19 | TASK-031-008: Created VerdictInputsSerializer with snake_case naming (JsonNamingPolicy.SnakeCaseLower), CanonJson canonicalization. VerdictBundle and VerdictBundleSerializer for complete bundles. Digest computation excludes mutable fields. Round-trip and golden snapshot tests in StellaOps.DeltaVerdict.Tests. | Developer |
+| 2026-01-19 | **Sprint 031 COMPLETE** - All 8 tasks DONE. Input pinning & trusted VEX key infrastructure ready for integration. | Developer |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- **Decision needed**: Store full source response or just digest? Full is larger but enables replay without network
+- **Decision needed**: How to handle missing provenance from legacy enrichment? Mark as `SourceConfidence = 0.5`?
+- **Risk**: Provenance capture increases storage requirements
+- **Mitigation**: Compress provenance, use digest-only mode for storage-constrained deployments
+- **Risk**: Trusted key management complexity
+- **Mitigation**: Provide default roster with major vendors, allow override
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- POC: Enrich finding with full provenance, validate freshness, compute verdict
+- Integration: Scanner enrichment pipeline captures provenance
+- Validation: Replay verdict from stored inputs matches original
+- KPI targets:
+ - 100% of verdicts have pinned inputs
+ - EPSS freshness violation rate < 5%
+ - VEX override validation success rate > 99%

+stella gate # Release gating
+stella scangraph # Scan graph
+stella prove # Generate proof
+stella prov # Provenance tracking
+```
+
+### After (Clear)
+```bash
+stella config notify # Notification configuration
+stella scan secrets # Secret detection scanning
+stella release gate # Release gating (or stella ci gate)
+stella scan graph # Scan graph operations
+stella evidence proof generate # Generate proof
+stella evidence provenance # Provenance tracking
+```
+
+### Common Tasks
+```bash
+# See all settings paths
+stella config list
+
+# Configure notifications
+stella config notify channels list
+stella config notify preferences export
+
+# Run a scan
+stella scan run --image sha256:abc123

+# CLI Consolidation Proposal
+
+**Date:** 2026-01-18
+**Status:** Draft Advisory
+**Author:** Engineering
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+The Stella CLI has grown to **81+ top-level command groups**, creating usability issues:
+- Commands are hard to discover and remember
+- Similar functionality exists under different names
+- Settings/configuration is scattered across multiple commands
+- Naming conventions are inconsistent (verb-first vs noun-first)
+
+This proposal recommends consolidating the CLI into a cleaner, more intuitive hierarchy.
+
+---
+
+## Current Problems
+
+### 1. Command Explosion (81+ root commands)
+
+Users must memorize dozens of top-level commands:
+```
+stella verify, attest, policy, gate, evidence, audit, scan, scanner,
+scangraph, image, reachability, reachgraph, slice, witness, crypto,
+keys, issuerkeys, sign, secrets, proof, prove, provenance, delta,
+deltasig, vex, vexgatescan, verdict, feeds, sources, signals, sbom,
+sbomer, layersbom, doctor, admin, notify, incidents, config, setup,
+auth, db, registry, tools, system, binary, ci, github, seal, drift...
+```
+
+### 2. Duplicate/Overlapping Commands
+
+| Command A | Command B | Overlap |
+|-----------|-----------|---------|
+| `admin policy` | `policy` | Both manage policies |
+| `admin feeds` | `feeds` | Both manage feeds |
+| `admin users` | `auth roles` | Both manage user access |
+| `admin system` | `system` | Both have system commands |
+| `config` | `setup`, `admin` | Configuration scattered |
+
+### 3. Confusing Names
+
+| Command | What user might expect | What it actually does |
+|---------|------------------------|----------------------|
+| `notify` | Change notification settings | Manage notification channels/templates |
+| `secrets` | Manage secrets (like Vault) | Secret detection rule bundles |
+| `prove` | Prove something? | Generate replay proofs |
+| `proof` | Same as prove? | Different - proof operations |
+| `prov` | Provenance? | Something else |
+
+### 4. Inconsistent Naming Patterns
+
+- **Verb-first:** `verify`, `scan`, `prove`, `explain`, `seal`
+- **Noun-first:** `evidence`, `policy`, `feeds`, `secrets`
+- **Hybrid:** `vexgatescan`, `scangraph`, `layersbom`
+
+### 5. No Unified Settings Management
+
+Settings are scattered:
+```
+stella config show # View configuration
+stella notify preferences export # Notification preferences
+stella setup run # Initial setup
+stella admin system status # System status
+stella auth ... # Auth settings
+```

+## Proposed Structure
+
+### Design Principles
+
+1. **Resource-oriented hierarchy** (like `kubectl`, `gh`, `docker`)
+2. **Consistent verb patterns**: `list`, `show`, `create`, `delete`, `verify`, `test`
+3. **Grouped by domain**: scanning, release, security, admin
+4. **Unified settings under `stella config`**
+5. **Max 15-20 top-level commands** for discoverability

+### Command Count Comparison
+
+| Category | Before | After |
+|----------|--------|-------|
+| Top-level commands | 81+ | 18 |
+| Max depth | 4 | 4 |
+| Discoverability | Poor | Good |
+
+---
+
+## Migration Path
+
+### Phase 1: Add Aliases (Non-Breaking)
+
+Create new command structure as aliases to existing commands:
+
+```csharp
+// Old command still works
+stella gate evaluate ...
+
+// New command added as alias
+stella release gate evaluate ...
+// or
+stella ci gate ...
+```
+
+**Files to modify:**
+- `CommandFactory.cs` - Add routing for new paths
+- Add deprecation warnings to old paths
+
+### Phase 2: Consolidate Settings
+
+Move scattered settings into `stella config`:
+
+| Old Command | New Command |
+|-------------|-------------|
+| `stella notify channels list` | `stella config notify channels list` |
+| `stella notify preferences export` | `stella config notify preferences export` |
+| `stella admin feeds list` | `stella config feeds list` |
+| `stella registry list` | `stella config registry list` |
+
+### Phase 3: Deprecate Old Paths
+
+Add warnings when using old command paths:
+```
+WARNING: 'stella gate evaluate' is deprecated.
+ Use 'stella release gate evaluate' or 'stella ci gate' instead.
+ This command will be removed in v3.0.
+```
+
+### Phase 4: Remove Old Paths (Major Version)
+
+In a major version release (v3.0), remove deprecated command paths.
+
+---
+
+## Specific Recommendations
+
+### 1. Unified Settings Pattern
+
+**Current mess:**
+```bash
+stella notify preferences export --user alice # Notification prefs
+stella config show policy.determinization # Policy config
+stella admin feeds status # Feed settings
+```
+
+**Proposed pattern:**
+```bash
+stella config show # View any config
+stella config set # Set any config
+stella config list --category notify # List notification paths
+stella config notify preferences export # Notification-specific
+stella config feeds status # Feed-specific
+```
+
+### 2. Consolidate Verify Commands
+
+**Current:**
+```bash
+stella verify offline ...
+stella verify image ...
+stella attest verify ...
+stella vex verify ...
+stella patchverify ...
+```
+
+**Proposed:**
+```bash
+stella verify offline ...
+stella verify image ...
+stella verify attestation ... # was: attest verify
+stella verify vex ... # was: vex verify
+stella verify patch ... # was: patchverify
+```
+
+### 3. Rename Confusing Commands
+
+| Old Name | New Name | Reason |
+|----------|----------|--------|
+| `secrets` | `scan secrets` | It's about secret detection, not secret management |
+| `prove` | `evidence proof generate` | Clarify it generates proofs |
+| `prov` | `evidence provenance` | Consistent naming |
+| `scangraph` | `scan graph` | Split compound word |
+| `reachgraph` | `reachability graph` | Split compound word |
+| `layersbom` | `sbom layer` | Consistent with other sbom commands |
+
+### 4. Common Verb Patterns
+
+All resource-oriented commands should support:
+- `list` - List resources
+- `show ` - Show details
+- `create` - Create new
+- `delete` - Delete
+- `verify` - Verify integrity
+- `export` - Export data
+
+---
+
+## Examples of Improved UX
+
+### Before (Confusing)
+```bash
+# User wants to check notification settings
+stella notify # Manages channels, not settings
+stella config show ... # Doesn't know the path
+stella admin ... # Maybe here?
+
+# User wants to verify something
+stella verify ... # Some verify commands
+stella attest verify ... # Also verify
+stella vex verify ... # Also verify
+```
+
+### After (Intuitive)
+```bash
+# All settings under config
+stella config list # See all paths
+stella config notify channels list # Notification channels
+stella config notify preferences export # My preferences
+
+# All verification under verify
+stella verify --help # See all verify options
+stella verify image sha256:abc123
+stella verify attestation sha256:abc123
+stella verify vex CVE-2025-1234
+```
+
+### Discoverability
+```bash
+# User types "stella" and sees clear categories
+$ stella --help
+
+COMMANDS:
+ scan Scan images and artifacts for vulnerabilities
+ release Manage releases and promotions
+ verify Verify attestations, images, and evidence
+ evidence Manage evidence bundles and proofs
+ policy Manage security policies
+ config Configure Stella settings and integrations
+ auth Authentication and access control
+ admin Administrative operations
+ ...
+```
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Tasks
+
+### Sprint 1: Foundation
+- [ ] Create command routing infrastructure for aliases
+- [ ] Implement deprecation warning system
+- [ ] Add `stella config` unified settings command
+
+### Sprint 2: Settings Consolidation
+- [ ] Move `notify` under `config notify`
+- [ ] Move `feeds` under `config feeds`
+- [ ] Move `registry` under `config registry`
+- [ ] Add backward-compatible aliases
+
+### Sprint 3: Verification Consolidation
+- [ ] Create `stella verify` umbrella command
+- [ ] Route `attest verify` -> `verify attestation`
+- [ ] Route `vex verify` -> `verify vex`
+- [ ] Route `patchverify` -> `verify patch`
+
+### Sprint 4: Scanning Consolidation
+- [ ] Create `stella scan` umbrella command
+- [ ] Route `secrets bundle` -> `scan secrets bundle`
+- [ ] Route `scangraph` -> `scan graph`
+
+### Sprint 5: Documentation & Polish
+- [ ] Update all CLI documentation
+- [ ] Add migration guide
+- [ ] Update CI templates with new commands
+
+---
+
+## Risks & Mitigations
+
+| Risk | Impact | Mitigation |
+|------|--------|------------|
+| Breaking existing CI pipelines | High | Keep old commands as aliases for 2 major versions |
+| User confusion during transition | Medium | Clear deprecation warnings with suggested alternatives |
+| Documentation drift | Medium | Generate docs from command metadata |
+| Plugin compatibility | Medium | Plugin interface remains stable; only routing changes |
+
+---
+
+## Decision Required
+
+1. **Approve general direction?** (Resource-oriented consolidation)
+2. **Phase 1 start date?** (Add aliases)
+3. **Deprecation timeline?** (How many versions before removal?)
+4. **Naming conventions?** (Approve proposed verb patterns)
+

+Below is a UI/UX advisory based on your **new product vision** (evidence-based release control plane with hybrid reachability) and the ASCII blueprints of the **current UI information architecture**.
+
+I’m going to be blunt: you already have many of the right primitives (evidence bundles, proof chain, policy simulation, orchestration, reachability center), but the **IA and “default story”** still tells users “scanner + admin console.” The fix is not cosmetic—this is a **release-first product re‑framing** in navigation, objects, and workflows.
+
+---
+
+## 1) What the UI must communicate in 10 seconds
+
+When a buyer opens Stella Ops, they must immediately understand:
+
+1. **“What is deployed where”** (by digest, per environment/target)
+2. **“What is allowed to ship next”** (promotion requests + approvals)
+3. **“Why it is allowed/blocked”** (policy gates + reachability evidence)
+4. **“Where the evidence is”** (one-click proof chain and export)
+
+Everything else (vuln explorer, SBOM graph, VEX hub, feeds, ops health) is supporting detail.
+
+Right now the UI communicates: “Security dashboard → findings → triage → policy → ops/admin.”
+That’s the wrong default narrative for a release control plane.
+
+---
+
+## 2) New UX mental model: 5 core objects, 3 core jobs
+
+### Core objects (they must exist everywhere as first-class nouns)
+
+* **Release**: bundle of component→digest mappings (immutable identity)
+* **Environment**: Dev/QA/Staging/Prod (policies, windows, approvals)
+* **Promotion**: request to move a Release to an Environment
+* **Deployment**: execution instance (workflow run against targets)
+* **Evidence Packet**: signed bundle of inputs/outputs of a decision/run
+
+### Core jobs (the UI must optimize for these first)
+
+1. **Ship a release**: create → request promotion → approve → deploy
+2. **Explain/justify a decision**: why allowed/blocked + evidence
+3. **Operate with confidence**: drift, CVE updates, replay, audit export
+
+Your current UI has these elements, but they’re **fragmented across Analyze/Triage/Policy/Evidence/Ops**.
+
+---
+
+## 3) High-level IA change: make “Releases” the product, not a submenu
+
+### Current top-level nav (scanner-centric)
+
+HOME / ANALYZE / TRIAGE / POLICY / OPS / NOTIFY / ADMIN
+
+### Recommended top-level nav (release control plane)
+
+Use fewer, higher-signal nouns. Example:
+
+1. **Control Plane** (default landing)
+2. **Releases**
+3. **Approvals**
+4. **Security**
+5. **Evidence**
+6. **Operations**
+7. **Settings** (consolidated configuration)
+
+If you insist on 5 groups max, merge:
+
+* **Control Plane + Releases** (same section)
+* **Operations** remains admin-only
+* **Settings** stays separate
+
+### What changes immediately
+
+* **Home `/` becomes “Control Plane Overview”** (release pipeline + action inbox)
+* **Release Orchestrator becomes the central product area** (not hidden)
+* **Analyze/Triage collapse into “Security”** (because they exist to inform release gating)
+* **Evidence becomes a single unified section** (today it’s scattered across triage, evidence-export, proof-chain, release evidence)
+
+---
+
+## 4) Shell & navigation redesign: move from top mega-menu to left rail
+
+Your current header menu already has too many cognitive branches. A release control plane benefits from a **left navigation rail** + a **top bar for global context**.
+
+### Proposed shell blueprint
+
+```
+┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│ Stella Ops [Global Search: release/digest/CVE/env] [Tenant ▼] [User] │
+│ Offline: OK | Feeds: 2026-01-15 | Policy: prod-baseline v3 | Evidence: ON │
+├───────────────┬──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│ CONTROL PLANE │ Control Plane Overview │
+│ Releases │ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │
+│ Approvals │ │ Environment Pipeline: Dev → QA → Staging → Prod │ │
+│ Security │ │ Dev: v1.3.0 QA: v1.2.5 Stg: v1.2.4 Prod: v1.2.3 │ │
+│ Evidence │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │
+│ Operations │ ┌───────────────────────────┐ ┌──────────────────────────┐ │
+│ Settings │ │ Action Inbox │ │ Drift & Risk Changes │ │
+│ │ │ - 3 approvals pending │ │ - 2 prod drifts detected │ │
+│ │ │ - 1 blocked promotion │ │ - 5 CVEs updated │ │
+│ │ │ - 2 failed deployments │ │ - 1 key expiring │ │
+│ │ └───────────────────────────┘ └──────────────────────────┘ │
+└───────────────┴──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Top bar is for:**
+
+* Global search
+* Tenant context
+* Offline / feed snapshot / policy baseline status (your differentiators)
+* Evidence mode (exportability / signing availability)
+* User actions
+
+**Left nav is for the product story.**
+
+---
+
+## 5) Consolidate configuration into a single “Settings” area
+
+You already identified this, and you’re correct. Right now configuration is scattered:
+
+* `/setup`, `/console/configuration`, `/integrations`, `/admin/*`, `/ops/*`, `/concelier/*`
+
+This creates a “Where do I configure X?” problem and makes the product feel unfinished.
+
+### Proposed Settings structure (single hub, left-side tabs)
+
+**Settings**
+
+* **Integrations**
+
+ * Registries
+ * SCM
+ * CI/CD
+ * Targets & Hosts
+ * Secrets
+ * Notifications
+* **Release Control**
+
+ * Environments (policies, approval rules, freeze windows)
+ * Targets (Docker/Compose/ECS/Nomad)
+ * Agents (health, capabilities)
+ * Workflows (templates, step registry)
+* **Trust & Signing**
+
+ * Keys (rotation)
+ * Issuers
+ * Certificates
+ * Rekor / transparency settings
+* **Security Data**
+
+ * Advisory sources / connectors
+ * Feed mirror / airgap
+ * Version locks
+* **Identity & Access**
+
+ * Users
+ * Roles & scopes
+ * OAuth clients
+ * API keys
+* **Tenant / Branding**
+* **Usage & Limits** (quotas, throttle)
+* **System**
+
+ * Platform health
+ * Doctor diagnostics
+ * SLOs
+ * Jobs / queues (admin-only)
+
+### What to *move* under Settings (specific existing routes)
+
+* `/console/configuration` → Settings → Integrations
+* `/integrations/*` → Settings → Integrations (same UI, one place)
+* `/admin/trust/*` → Settings → Trust & Signing
+* `/admin/registries` → Settings → Integrations → Registries (merge)
+* `/admin/notifications` → Settings → Integrations → Notifications (or Settings → Notifications)
+* `/ops/feeds`, `/ops/offline-kit` → Settings → Security Data (unless you want “Operations”)
+* `/ops/quotas` → Settings → Usage & Limits
+* `/console/admin/*` → Settings → Identity & Access (admin-only)
+
+This one consolidation will make the product feel 2x more mature.
+
+---
+
+## 6) Rebuild “Home” into a Release Control Plane dashboard (not a security dashboard)
+
+Your current Home dashboard is well designed—but it optimizes the wrong story (vulns, risk, reachability pie charts).
+
+### Replace `/` with: “Control Plane Overview”
+
+Must show:
+
+* Environment pipeline status (what’s deployed)
+* Pending promotions & approvals
+* Deployment outcomes (last N)
+* Drift / risk changes since last evidence
+* “System trust posture” (feeds stale? keys expiring? offline?)
+
+Security metrics should be **secondary** and contextual.
+
+### Keep the current security dashboard, but move it under Security
+
+* The existing `/` dashboard becomes `/security/overview` (or `/security/dashboard`)
+
+---
+
+## 7) Make “Approvals” a first-class product surface, not a subpage
+
+Approvals are the moment where buyers “feel” governance and auditability.
+
+### Current approvals blueprint is good; what’s missing is evidence-first structure
+
+**Approval card must answer:**
+
+1. What is changing?
+2. What is the risk delta?
+3. What do the gates say?
+4. Where is the evidence?
+5. What do I do next?
+
+### Suggested approval card layout
+
+```
+Release: app-svc v1.2.5 (Digest bundle locked)
+From: QA → To: Staging Requested by: deploy-bot 2h ago
+
+WHAT CHANGED (Diff summary)
+- Components changed: 3
+- New CVEs introduced: 2 (1 reachable)
+- Fixed CVEs: 5
+- Config drift: none
+
+GATES (Policy baseline: stg-baseline v3.1)
+✅ SBOM valid + signed
+✅ Provenance present (SLSA attestation)
+⚠️ 3 high CVEs (2 not-affected via VEX, 1 uncertain reachability)
+❌ 1 reachable critical path found (confidence 0.82)
+
+ACTIONS:
+[View Evidence Packet] [View Reachability Witness] [Request Exception] [Approve] [Reject]
+```
+
+Key UX improvements:
+
+* **Diff-first** becomes a core affordance everywhere (you already have lineage diff patterns—reuse them).
+* “View Reachability Witness” must exist right on the approval decision (this is your moat).
+
+---
+
+## 8) Unify “Releases” around digest-first identity and environment mapping
+
+Today you have:
+
+* Artifact Workspace (triage)
+* Release Orchestrator (separate)
+* Findings and scans (analyze)
+
+To match the vision, “Release” becomes the thing users manage, and “Artifacts” become a supporting detail.
+
+### New Releases area should have 4 core pages
+
+1. **Releases List**
+2. **Release Detail**
+3. **Environment Detail**
+4. **Deployment Runs**
+
+#### Release detail page should be your flagship screen
+
+Must include:
+
+* Release identity (bundle, digests)
+* Promotion history and current deployment per environment
+* Gate results (policy + reachability + VEX)
+* Evidence packet + proof chain (one-click)
+* “Create promotion request” and “Rollback” actions
+
+**Release detail blueprint (suggested)**
+
+```
+RELEASE: v1.2.5 Bundle: sha256:bundle... Created by CI: gh-actions #882
+
+[Overview] [Components] [Gates] [Promotions] [Deployments] [Evidence] [Proof Chain]
+
+OVERVIEW
+- Dev: deployed ✓ QA: deployed ✓ Staging: pending approval ⚠ Prod: v1.2.3
+- Risk score: 62 (↓ -8 from previous) Reachability coverage: 89%
+
+PRIMARY ACTIONS: [Request Promotion] [Generate Evidence] [Export] [Replay Verify]
+```
+
+---
+
+## 9) Embed reachability everywhere it matters (and nowhere it doesn’t)
+
+Reachability is not a separate “center” for most users. It’s an explanation layer that must appear:
+
+* On approvals (decision moment)
+* On finding detail (why this CVE matters)
+* On release gates (why blocked/allowed)
+* In evidence packet (what was proven)
+
+### Reachability presentation rules (UX contract)
+
+* Always show a **three-tier summary**:
+
+ * **State**: Reachable / Unreachable / Uncertain
+ * **Confidence**: numeric and explained (“0.82; runtime signal present”)
+ * **Evidence**: witness path / guards / dynamic edges
+
+* Only show full graphs on demand (progressive disclosure).
+
+* “Uncertain” must be actionable: show why uncertain, and the top 1–2 ways to resolve uncertainty (runtime signal, config, guard).
+
+### Add a “Witness Viewer” component (reusable)
+
+A dedicated view that can render:
+
+* Mermaid/DOT export
+* Call path
+* Guards/dynamic loading notes
+* Evidence URIs
+* Replay/verify button
+
+This becomes a shared panel used in:
+
+* Approvals
+* Finding detail slide-out
+* Evidence packet viewer
+
+---
+
+## 10) Evidence: stop scattering it; make one “Evidence” experience
+
+You currently have evidence in:
+
+* `/evidence/*`
+* `/proofs/:subjectDigest`
+* `/triage/audit-bundles`
+* `/release-orchestrator/evidence`
+
+This is a classic maturity killer: users lose trust when “audit artifacts” are spread across 4 locations.
+
+### Recommended change
+
+Create **one Evidence section** with:
+
+* Evidence Packets (searchable, filterable by release/env/deployment)
+* Proof Chains
+* Replay/Verify
+* Export Center
+* Audit Bundles (as a type of evidence packet)
+
+Then:
+
+* Remove / hide “Evidence” tabs inside other areas, replacing them with a link:
+
+ * “Open Evidence Packet” → takes you to Evidence section pre-filtered.
+
+---
+
+## 11) Rename/merge “Analyze” + “Triage” into a single “Security” area
+
+Right now:
+
+* Analyze = findings/vulns/graph/lineage/reachability/vex/unknowns/patch-map
+* Triage = artifacts/exceptions/audit bundles/risk profiles
+
+To a customer this reads like: “two versions of security.”
+
+### Recommended Security structure
+
+**Security**
+
+* Overview (the old home security dashboard)
+* Findings (scans & findings)
+* Vulnerabilities (global library CVEs)
+* Artifact Intelligence (SBOM graph, lineage diff, unknowns, patch map)
+* VEX (hub + consensus + conflicts)
+* Exceptions (policy exceptions and risk acceptances)
+* Risk (profiles / scoring explanations)
+
+And crucially:
+
+* Each of these pages must link back to **Releases/Environments impacted**.
+
+Example:
+
+* Vulnerability detail shows: “Impacts: 3 releases; deployed in Prod: yes/no.”
+
+That’s how security becomes a gate, not a silo.
+
+---
+
+## 12) Fix route and naming inconsistencies (small work, big polish)
+
+Your own observations list the fragmentation. Customers feel this as “unfinished.”
+
+### Normalize path prefixes
+
+* `/release-orchestrator/*` → `/releases/*` (or `/control-plane/*`)
+* `/admin/vex-hub/*` → `/security/vex/*`
+* `/scheduler/*` → `/ops/scheduler/*` (or `/operations/scheduler/*`)
+* `/console/admin/*` → `/settings/access/*` (admin-only)
+* `/concelier/trivy-db-settings` → `/settings/security-data/trivy`
+
+### Normalize nouns in the UI
+
+* “Artifact Workspace” is security-centric; for release product it becomes:
+
+ * “Artifacts” (inventory) or “Digests”
+* “Scans & Findings” should be “Findings”
+* “Policy Studio” is fine for power users, but add a simple “Policies” list entry for everyone.
+
+---
+
+## 13) Add an “Action Inbox” to unify the product experience
+
+Today approvals are one page, exceptions are another, dead-letter jobs are in ops, drift alerts are separate docs.
+
+Create a single page: **Inbox**
+
+* Pending approvals
+* Pending exception reviews
+* Drift alerts (reachability drift, risk drift)
+* Failed deployments
+* Key expirations / feed staleness (if they block evidence)
+
+This becomes the daily entry point for an operator.
+
+---
+
+## 14) Styling and readability guidance (practical, not decorative)
+
+A release control plane UI must be “audit calm,” not “security noisy.”
+
+**Rules:**
+
+* Prefer **text + badge** over emoji status indicators in production UI.
+* Use **progressive disclosure**: summary → details panel → deep technical view.
+* Replace “dashboard card overload” with 2–3 high-signal panels:
+
+ * Pipeline
+ * Inbox
+ * Drift/Risk Changes
+* Make **digest visibility consistent**:
+
+ * show short digest everywhere; full digest on hover/copy
+* Provide “Copy” buttons for operational fields (digest, env, release id, evidence id).
+* Use consistent phrasing for gates:
+
+ * PASS / WARN / BLOCK
+ * always with one-line reason
+* Show **policy baseline version** and **feed snapshot version** where decisions are made. That’s trust.

+
+## 15) Concrete agent task list (what to change, where)
+
+### A) Navigation & IA refactor
+
+1. **Add new top-level nav items**:
+
+ * Control Plane, Releases, Approvals, Security, Evidence, Operations, Settings
+2. **Move Release Orchestrator into nav** and make it default landing route.
+3. **Remove Analyze/Triage split** from top-level; merge into Security.
+4. **Move VEX Hub out of /admin** and into Security section (keep permissions).
+5. **Add Settings section** and start migrating config pages under it.
+
+### B) Home `/` replacement
+
+1. Replace `HomeDashboardComponent` content:
+
+ * Pipeline view, inbox, drift/risk deltas, system trust posture.
+2. Move existing “Security Dashboard” content to `/security/overview`.
+
+### C) Release experience upgrades
+
+1. Implement **Release Detail flagship page**:
+
+ * Tabs: Overview, Components, Gates, Promotions, Deployments, Evidence, Proof Chain
+2. Implement **Diff-first** view for promotions (reuse lineage diff patterns).
+
+### D) Approvals redesign
+
+1. Make Approvals a first-class nav item.
+2. Add “View Evidence Packet” + “View Reachability Witness” as primary actions.
+3. Add “Request Exception” flow from the approval screen (no hunting).
+
+### E) Evidence unification
+
+1. Create a single Evidence hub:
+
+ * Bundles, Proof Chains, Replay/Verify, Export
+2. Redirect:
+
+ * `/proofs/:subjectDigest` into Evidence area
+ * `/release-orchestrator/evidence` becomes a filtered Evidence view
+ * `/triage/audit-bundles` becomes Evidence → Audit Bundles
+
+### F) Settings consolidation
+
+1. Create Settings shell page + left sidebar.
+2. Migrate:
+
+ * Integrations (merge configuration pane + integration hub)
+ * Trust, registries, notifications, feeds/offline kit, quotas
+3. Deprecate redundant entry points after migration.
+
+### G) Cross-linking (critical)
+
+Add “Impacts” panels everywhere:
+
+* On CVE detail: affected releases/environments + deployed status
+* On Finding detail: show release gate impact + direct link to approval/promotion
+* On Release gate: show underlying findings list filtered to that release
+
+### H) Reachability witness viewer component
+
+1. Build a reusable panel:
+
+ * State, confidence, witness path, guards/dynamic loading flags, replay verify
+2. Embed it in:
+
+ * Approvals
+ * Finding detail
+ * Evidence packet viewer
+
+---
+
+## 16) What I would prioritize (highest ROI, least debate)
+
+If you do only three things first, do these:
+
+1. **Make `/` the Control Plane Overview** (pipeline + inbox + drift)
+2. **Consolidate Settings** (stop configuration fragmentation)
+3. **Make Approvals evidence-first with reachability witness** (moat on display)
+
+Everything else becomes easier after those.

+Below is a **concrete Angular 17+ standalone component breakdown** aligned to the **new flagship UI** (evidence-based release control plane + hybrid reachability), using **standalone components**, **signals**, and **lazy-loaded feature route trees**.
+
+I’m optimizing for:
+
+* **Diff-first + decision-first** UX (Approvals, Release Detail)
+* **Evidence-first** navigation (Evidence always one click away)
+* **Digest-first identity** everywhere (no tag ambiguity)
+* **Determinism & replay** surfaced as first-class metadata
+* **Minimum cognitive load** (fewer “product area” silos; more “release lifecycle” flows)
+
+---
+
+# 1) Folder and ownership model (standalone-first)
+
+## 1.1 High-level structure
+
+```
+src/app/
+ core/ # auth, api client, guards, nav config, app init
+ layout/ # app shell, sidebar, topbar, page scaffolding
+ shared/
+ ui/ # design system primitives (buttons, chips, tables...)
+ domain/ # domain widgets (digest chip, gate badges, evidence link)
+ overlays/ # drawers/modals (evidence drawer, witness drawer)
+ pipes/ # formatting
+ util/ # helpers, comparators, trackBy fns
+ features/
+ control-plane/
+ releases/
+ approvals/
+ environments/
+ deployments/
+ security/
+ evidence/
+ reachability/
+ operations/
+ settings/
+```
+
+## 1.2 Container vs presentational convention
+
+* **`Page` components**: own routing params, assemble layout, bind stores, handle page-level actions.
+
+ * Suffix: `...PageComponent`
+* **`Container` components**: own feature state, wire subcomponents, and orchestrate queries.
+
+ * Suffix: `...ContainerComponent`
+* **Pure UI components**: take `@Input()` signals/values + emit outputs (events), no data fetching.
+
+ * Suffix: `...Component` / `...WidgetComponent`
+
+All use:
+
+* `changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush`
+* Signals for view-model state (computed selectors, effects)
+* `inject()` + `DestroyRef` instead of `ngOnDestroy` boilerplate
+
+---

+---
+
+# 6) State, services, and API clients (signals-first)
+
+## 6.1 API client pattern
+
+`core/api/`:
+
+* `ApiClient` (wraps HttpClient, error handling, auth headers)
+* Feature clients:
+
+ * `ReleasesApi`
+ * `ApprovalsApi`
+ * `EnvironmentsApi`
+ * `DeploymentsApi`
+ * `EvidenceApi`
+ * `SecurityApi`
+ * `ReachabilityApi`
+ * `PolicyApi`
+
+Each returns typed DTOs.
+
+## 6.2 Signal store pattern (recommended)
+
+For each major page/container, create a store service:
+
+Example:
+
+* `ReleaseDetailStore`
+
+ * `state = signal({...})`
+ * `release = computed(...)`
+ * `gateSummary = computed(...)`
+ * `load(releaseId)` triggers effects + sets loading/error
+ * `refresh()` re-runs
+ * `requestPromotion()` command method
+
+Stores live in:
+`features//state/`
+
+This avoids global NgRx complexity while keeping logic testable.
+
+## 6.3 Cross-cutting stores
+
+* `AppContextStore`
+
+ * tenant, user, offline mode, feed snapshot, evidence mode
+* `GlobalSearchStore`
+
+ * query → aggregated results across types
+* `OverlayStore`
+
+ * open/close drawers (evidence, witness, gate explain)
+
+---
+
+# 7) Overlays (drawers/modals) to keep pages “small”
+
+These are essential to your “small pages, deep drill-down” requirement.
+
+* `EvidencePacketDrawerComponent`
+
+ * opens from anywhere; renders same core as Evidence Packet page but condensed.
+* `WitnessDrawerComponent`
+
+ * preview witness path + quick export + “open full”
+* `GateExplainDrawerComponent`
+
+ * show K4 lattice reasoning + rule hits + evidence anchors
+* `CreateReleaseModalComponent`
+* `RequestPromotionModalComponent`
+* `RollbackModalComponent`
+* `RequestExceptionModalComponent`
+
+---
+
+# 8) Concrete component inventory (by section)
+
+## Layout (layout/)
+
+* `AppShellComponent`
+* `AppTopbarComponent`
+* `AppSidebarComponent`
+* `BreadcrumbComponent`
+* `GlobalSearchComponent`
+* `CommandPaletteComponent`
+* `ToastHostComponent`
+* `OverlayHostComponent`
+
+## Shared domain (shared/domain/)
+
+* `DigestChipComponent`
+* `GateBadgeComponent`
+* `GateSummaryPanelComponent`
+* `ReachabilityStateChipComponent`
+* `EvidenceLinkComponent`
+* `EvidencePacketSummaryComponent`
+* `ProofChainLinkComponent`
+* `WitnessPathPreviewComponent`
+
+## Features (features/*)
+
+* `ControlPlanePageComponent` + widgets
+* `ReleasesListPageComponent`, `ReleaseDetailPageComponent` + tabs
+* `ApprovalsInboxPageComponent`, `ApprovalDetailPageComponent`
+* `EnvironmentsListPageComponent`, `EnvironmentDetailPageComponent` + tabs
+* `DeploymentsListPageComponent`, `DeploymentDetailPageComponent` + tabs
+* `EvidenceCenterPageComponent`, `EvidencePacketPageComponent`
+* `SecurityFindingsPageComponent`, `VulnerabilityDetailPageComponent`
+* `WitnessPageComponent`
+
+---
+
+# 9) Implementation details that matter (so the UX feels “best-in-class”)
+
+1. **One “context header” pattern**
+ `PageHeaderComponent` + `ContextChipsRowComponent` (Offline, Snapshot, Policy, Evidence) used everywhere.
+
+2. **Tables are consistent**
+ One `DataTableComponent` powering releases/approvals/deployments/evidence/findings so keyboard nav, filters, row actions behave identically.
+
+3. **Drawers always open with stable deep links**
+ Drawer open should push a URL query param (e.g., `?evidence=EVD-...`) so refresh/back works:
+
+ * `?evidence=...`
+ * `?witness=...`
+ * `?explainGateRun=...`
+
+4. **Diff-first everywhere it matters**
+
+ * Approvals: diff summary is always above gates.
+ * Release detail: security impact summary is above evidence link.
+
+5. **Witness is a product feature, not an internal detail**
+ Always show: state + confidence + why + export + replay verify.

+Below is a **migration map** from your **current route surface (~120+)** to a **canonical release-control-plane IA**, plus a **redirect/alias strategy** designed to **preserve existing deep links**, keep bookmarks working, and **avoid breaking external references** (docs, emails, Slack links, ticket comments, etc.).
+
+I’m assuming the **new canonical IA** is:
+
+* **Product flows (what customers do):**
+ `/` (Control Plane), `/releases`, `/approvals`, `/environments`, `/deployments`, `/security/*`, `/evidence/*`, `/witness/*`
+* **Operations (running the platform):**
+ `/operations/*`
+* **Settings (configuration + access control):**
+ `/settings/*`
+* **Policy authoring (still first-class):**
+ `/policy/*` (instead of `/policy-studio/*`)
+
+If you want to keep `/ops/*` and `/console/*` as canonical, you can—but then your route taxonomy stays inconsistent. The plan below keeps canonical clean **without breaking anything**, by keeping `/ops/*` and `/console/*` as legacy aliases indefinitely.
+
+---
+
+## 0) Canonical new route taxonomy (what we’re migrating to)
+
+### 0.1 Control plane and release lifecycle
+
+* `/` → **Control Plane** (pipeline, pending approvals, drift/risk deltas)
+* `/releases` → Releases list
+* `/releases/:releaseId` → Release detail (gates, diff, evidence, proof chain)
+* `/approvals` → Approvals inbox
+* `/approvals/:approvalId` → Approval detail (diff-first + decision + evidence)
+* `/environments` → Environments
+* `/environments/:envId` → Environment detail
+* `/deployments` → Deployments list
+* `/deployments/:deployId` → Deployment detail (workflow DAG + artifacts + evidence)
+
+### 0.2 Security (scanner heritage becomes “gate inputs”)
+
+* `/security/overview` → Security overview dashboard (old Home dashboard preserved here)
+* `/security/findings` → Findings (impact-to-release, reachability chips)
+* `/security/scans/:scanId` → Scan run detail
+* `/security/vulnerabilities` → CVE explorer
+* `/security/vulnerabilities/:cveId` → CVE detail
+* `/security/sbom/graph` → SBOM graph explorer
+* `/security/lineage` → Lineage/compare (global)
+* `/security/reachability` → Reachability center
+* `/security/vex` → VEX hub (no longer under `/admin`)
+* `/security/unknowns` → Unknowns tracking
+* `/security/patch-map` → Patch map
+
+### 0.3 Evidence and verification
+
+* `/evidence` → Evidence center (packets, bundles, export, replay, provenance)
+* `/evidence/:evidenceId` → Evidence packet viewer
+* `/evidence/packs` and `/evidence/packs/:packId` → Evidence packs
+* `/evidence/proofs/:subjectDigest` → Proof chain viewer
+* `/witness/:witnessId` → Witness viewer (reachability slice + replay/verify)
+
+### 0.4 Policy (rename, but keep semantics)
+
+* `/policy/packs` (list)
+* `/policy/packs/:packId/editor`
+* `/policy/packs/:packId/yaml`
+* `/policy/packs/:packId/simulate`
+* `/policy/packs/:packId/approvals`
+* `/policy/packs/:packId/rules`
+* `/policy/packs/:packId/explain/:runId`
+* `/policy/packs/:packId/dashboard`
+* `/policy/exceptions` (exception queue + approvals)
+
+### 0.5 Operations
+
+* `/operations/orchestrator` (+ jobs, quotas)
+* `/operations/quotas/*`
+* `/operations/dead-letter/*`
+* `/operations/slo/*`
+* `/operations/health/*`
+* `/operations/feeds/*`
+* `/operations/offline-kit/*`
+* `/operations/aoc/*`
+* `/operations/scheduler/*`
+* `/operations/doctor`
+
+### 0.6 Settings
+
+* `/settings/profile`
+* `/settings/integrations/*` (hub + detail + activity)
+* `/settings/admin/*` (tenants/users/roles/clients/tokens/branding)
+* `/settings/trust/*` (keys/issuers/certs/score-config/audit)
+* `/settings/registries` (registry token service)
+* `/settings/notifications/*`
+* `/settings/policy/governance`
+* `/settings/sbom-sources`
+* `/settings/trivy-db` (or fold into feeds)

+
+# 1) Migration principles (minimize breaking links)
+
+**Principle A — Keep old links working forever:**
+Every old route either:
+
+* **Redirects** to the new canonical route, or
+* Remains as an **alias** that renders the same page/module.
+
+**Principle B — Preserve identifiers and semantics:**
+If `:scanId`, `:packId`, `:subjectDigest` exist today, do not change their format. New routes simply “re-home” them.
+
+**Principle C — Use redirects only when mapping is 1:1:**
+If old route needs **query params** (e.g., “filter type=audit”), use a **guard-based redirect** returning a `UrlTree` (so you can append query parameters safely).
+
+**Principle D — Track legacy usage:**
+Add telemetry: whenever a legacy route is hit, record `{ oldPath, newPath }`. This lets you quantify remaining legacy usage.
+
+---
+
+# 2) Old → new route migration map
+
+Each entry includes: **Old route → New canonical route** + **strategy**.
+
+Legend:
+
+* **KEEP** = route stays as-is (canonical already good)
+* **REDIRECT** = Angular router redirect (1:1 mapping)
+* **SMART REDIRECT** = redirect via guard/matcher to add query params/open specific view
+* **ALIAS** = old route still loads same module/component as new (no visible URL change)
+
+---
+
+## 2.1 Home & dashboard routes
+
+| Old Route | New Route | Strategy | Notes |
+| -------------------- | ------------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `/` | `/` | KEEP (content changes) | Home becomes **Control Plane**. Preserve old “security dashboard” as `/security/overview`. |
+| `/welcome` | `/welcome` | KEEP | Usually public. Keep stable. |
+| `/dashboard/sources` | `/operations/feeds` | REDIRECT | Old “sources dashboard” becomes operational view of feeds/mirrors. |

+Add a prominent navigation link: **Security Overview** → `/security/overview` to avoid “we removed my dashboard” backlash.

+## 2.2 Analyze routes → Security namespace
+
+| Old Route | New Route | Strategy | Notes |
+| ---------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `/findings` | `/security/findings` | REDIRECT | Findings become security impact-to-release view. |
+| `/findings/:scanId` | `/security/scans/:scanId` | REDIRECT | Preserve deep links; scan detail page remains. |
+| `/vulnerabilities` | `/security/vulnerabilities` | REDIRECT | CVE explorer moved under security. |
+| `/vulnerabilities/:vulnId` | `/security/vulnerabilities/:vulnId` | REDIRECT | 1:1 mapping. |
+| `/graph` | `/security/sbom/graph` | REDIRECT | SBOM graph belongs under Security. |
+| `/lineage` | `/security/lineage` | REDIRECT | (Or `/releases/lineage`, choose one canonical; I recommend Security.) |
+| `/lineage/:artifact/compare` | `/security/lineage/:artifact/compare` | ALIAS or REDIRECT | Keep params same. |
+| `/lineage/compare` | `/security/lineage/compare` | REDIRECT | Stable. |
+| `/reachability` | `/security/reachability` | REDIRECT | Reachability center is security analysis. |
+| `/admin/vex-hub` | `/security/vex` | REDIRECT | VEX is not “admin-only”; move. |
+| `/admin/vex-hub/search` | `/security/vex/search` | REDIRECT | Keep identical subroutes. |
+| `/admin/vex-hub/search/detail/:id` | `/security/vex/search/detail/:id` | REDIRECT | 1:1. |
+| `/admin/vex-hub/stats` | `/security/vex/stats` | REDIRECT | 1:1. |
+| `/admin/vex-hub/consensus` | `/security/vex/consensus` | REDIRECT | 1:1. |
+| `/admin/vex-hub/explorer` | `/security/vex/explorer` | REDIRECT | 1:1. |
+| `/analyze/unknowns` | `/security/unknowns` | REDIRECT | 1:1. |
+| `/analyze/patch-map` | `/security/patch-map` | REDIRECT | 1:1. |
+| `/scans/:scanId` | `/security/scans/:scanId` | REDIRECT | Consolidate scan detail here. |
+| `/compare/:currentId` | `/security/lineage/compare/:currentId` | REDIRECT | Preserve compare deep links. |
+| `/cvss/receipts/:receiptId` | `/evidence/receipts/cvss/:receiptId` | REDIRECT | CVSS receipt is an **evidence artifact**. |

+
+## 2.3 Triage routes → split between Security (artifact triage) and Policy/Evidence
+
+| Old Route | New Route | Strategy | Notes |
+| ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `/triage/artifacts` | `/security/artifacts` | REDIRECT | “Artifact workspace” becomes security artifact index (digest-first). |
+| `/triage/artifacts/:artifactId` | `/security/artifacts/:artifactId` | REDIRECT | Preserve the triage workspace; it becomes “Artifact Detail”. |
+| `/exceptions` | `/policy/exceptions` | REDIRECT | Exceptions are governance controls for gates. |
+| `/triage/audit-bundles` | `/evidence?type=audit` | SMART REDIRECT | Needs query param. Alternatively create `/evidence/bundles/audit` to allow simple redirect. |
+| `/triage/audit-bundles/new` | `/evidence/bundles/new?type=audit` | SMART REDIRECT | Needs query param. |
+| `/risk` | `/security/risk` | REDIRECT | Risk dashboard becomes security analytics. |
+
+**Recommendation to reduce SMART redirects:** create explicit canonical paths:
+
+* `/evidence/bundles/audit`
+* `/evidence/bundles/release`
+* `/evidence/bundles/scan`
+ Then redirects are trivial and do not require query injection.

+---
+
+# 3) Redirect strategy (implementation plan that won’t bite you)
+
+## 3.1 Use a dedicated “Legacy Routes” layer (lowest priority in router)
+
+**Order matters.** Put all legacy redirects **after** the new canonical route tree so you don’t accidentally intercept new paths.
+
+* `app.routes.ts`
+
+ 1. New canonical routes
+ 2. Legacy redirect/alias routes
+ 3. `**` fallback
+
+## 3.2 Three redirect mechanisms (use the right one)
+
+### Mechanism 1 — Simple static redirect (`redirectTo`)
+
+Use when mapping is clean and 1:1:
+
+* `/findings` → `/security/findings`
+* `/release-orchestrator/releases` → `/releases`
+
+### Mechanism 2 — Param redirect (`redirectTo` with `:param`)
+
+Use when it’s still 1:1 but has params:
+
+* `/vulnerabilities/:vulnId` → `/security/vulnerabilities/:vulnId`
+* `/findings/:scanId` → `/security/scans/:scanId`
+
+### Mechanism 3 — SMART redirect (guard/matcher returning a UrlTree)
+
+Use when you must:
+
+* Add query params (e.g., `type=audit`)
+* Switch tabs
+* Open a drawer based on route
+
+Examples:
+
+* `/triage/audit-bundles` → `/evidence?type=audit`
+* `/release-orchestrator/evidence` → `/evidence?type=release`
+
+**Strong recommendation:** Avoid SMART redirects by giving evidence bundle types **real paths**:
+
+* `/evidence/bundles/audit`
+* `/evidence/bundles/release`
+ Then you can use simple redirects and remove complexity.
+
+## 3.3 Preserve query params and fragments always
+
+Legacy URLs in tickets often include query params. Your redirect logic must preserve:
+
+* `?tab=...`
+* `?filters=...`
+* `#anchor`
+
+In Angular, **guard-based UrlTree** redirects are the most reliable way to preserve and augment query params intentionally.
+
+## 3.4 Keep “short links” as permanent aliases
+
+Some paths are extremely convenient and should remain:
+
+* `/proofs/:subjectDigest` (keep forever, even if canonical is under `/evidence/proofs/...`)
+* Potentially `/deploy/:id` if you ever add it
+
+This reduces friction when humans share links.
+
+## 3.5 Add a “Legacy URL” banner (optional but useful)
+
+On legacy-rendered aliases (not redirects), show a slim banner:
+
+* “This URL has moved. Update bookmarks.”
+* Button: “Go to new location”
+* Include one-click copy of canonical URL
+
+This is very effective during the transition without forcing redirects.
+
+## 3.6 Instrument legacy hits
+
+Emit a telemetry event:
+
+* `legacy_route_hit`
+
+ * `oldPath`
+ * `newPath`
+ * `tenantId`
+ * `userId` (if available)
+ * `timestamp`
+
+This tells you when it’s safe to remove legacy routes (if you ever choose to).
+
+---
+
+# 4) Practical redirect coverage checklist (to prevent surprises)
+
+Before shipping, test these as **direct loads** (not SPA navigation):
+
+1. `/admin/vex-hub/search/detail/123` loads and lands on `/security/vex/search/detail/123`
+2. `/findings/SCAN-123` lands on scan detail
+3. `/proofs/sha256:...` still works and lands on proof viewer
+4. `/release-orchestrator/environments` lands on `/environments`
+5. `/triage/audit-bundles` lands on the correct evidence bundle view (no empty state)

+ Unified artifact storage API with bom-ref support.
+
+ Sprint: SPRINT_20260118_017_Evidence_artifact_store_unification (AS-005, AS-007)
+
+ ## Overview
+
+ The Artifact Store API provides unified storage and retrieval of evidence artifacts
+ (SBOMs, VEX, DSSE envelopes, Rekor proofs) using a bom-ref based path convention.
+
+ ## Path Convention
+
+ Artifacts are stored at: `/artifacts/{bom-ref-encoded}/{serialNumber}/{artifactId}.json`
+
+ Where:
+ - `bom-ref-encoded`: URL-safe base64 encoded PURL
+ - `serialNumber`: CycloneDX serial number (URN UUID)
+ - `artifactId`: Unique artifact identifier
+

+ Gate check API for unknowns queue integration.
+
+ Sprint: SPRINT_20260118_018_Unknowns_queue_enhancement (UQ-006)
+
+ ## Overview
+
+ The Gates API provides endpoints to check if a component can pass through
+ the release gate based on its unknowns status. It implements fail-closed
+ semantics by default for HOT unknowns.
+
+ ## Gate Decisions
+
+ - **pass**: No blocking unknowns, component may proceed
+ - **warn**: Non-blocking unknowns present, proceed with caution
+ - **block**: HOT unknowns, KEV items, or SLA breaches require resolution

+# Doctor Check Evidence Schemas
+
+This document defines the standardized evidence schemas for all Doctor health checks. These schemas enable AdvisoryAI to understand field meanings, expected ranges, and root cause differentiation.
+
+> **Sprint:** SPRINT_20260118_015_Doctor_check_quality_improvements
+> **Task:** DQUAL-006 - Standardize evidence schema documentation

+- Use `snake_case` for all field names
+- Boolean fields: `is_*`, `has_*`, `*_enabled`, `*_available`
+- Timestamp fields: `*_utc` suffix, ISO8601 format
+- Duration fields: `*_ms` or `*_seconds` suffix
+- Status fields: lowercase string enums
+
+### Value Types
+- `string`: UTF-8 text

+## 17. B2R2 Troubleshooting Guide
+
+This section covers common issues and resolutions when using B2R2 for IR lifting.
+
+### 17.1 Lifting Failures
+
+**Symptom:** `B2R2LiftingException: Failed to lift function at address 0x...`
+
+**Common Causes:**
+1. **Unsupported instruction** - B2R2 may not recognize certain instructions
+2. **Invalid entry point** - Function address is not a valid entry point
+3. **Obfuscated code** - Heavy obfuscation defeats parsing
+
+**Resolution:**
+```csharp
+// Check if architecture is supported before lifting
+if (!liftingService.SupportsArchitecture(binary.Architecture))
+{
+ // Fall back to disassembly-only mode
+ return await _disassemblyService.DisassembleAsync(binary, ct);
+}
+
+// Use try-lift with fallback
+var result = await _liftingService.TryLiftWithFallbackAsync(
+ binary,
+ new LiftingOptions { FallbackToDisassembly = true },
+ ct);
+```
+
+### 17.2 Memory Issues
+
+**Symptom:** `OutOfMemoryException` during lifting of large binaries
+
+**Common Causes:**
+1. **Pool exhaustion** - Too many concurrent lifter instances
+2. **Large function** - Single function exceeds memory budget
+3. **Memory leak** - Lifter instances not properly disposed
+
+**Resolution:**
+```yaml
+# Adjust pool configuration in appsettings.yaml
+BinaryIndex:
+ B2R2Pool:
+ MaxInstancesPerIsa: 4 # Reduce if OOM
+ RecycleAfterOperations: 1000 # Force recycle more often
+ MaxFunctionSizeBytes: 1048576 # Skip very large functions
+```
+
+### 17.3 Performance Issues
+
+**Symptom:** Lifting takes longer than expected (>30s for small binaries)
+
+**Common Causes:**
+1. **Cold pool** - No warm lifter instances available
+2. **Complex CFG** - Function has extremely complex control flow
+3. **Cache misses** - IR cache not configured or full
+
+**Resolution:**
+```csharp
+// Ensure pool is warmed at startup
+await _lifterPool.WarmAsync(new[] { ISA.AMD64, ISA.ARM64 }, ct);
+
+// Check cache health
+var stats = await _cacheService.GetStatisticsAsync(ct);
+if (stats.HitRate < 0.5)
+{
+ _logger.LogWarning("Low cache hit rate: {HitRate:P}", stats.HitRate);
+}
+```
+
+### 17.4 Determinism Issues
+
+**Symptom:** Same binary produces different IR hashes on repeated lifts
+
+**Common Causes:**
+1. **Non-deterministic block ordering** - Blocks not sorted by address
+2. **Timestamp inclusion** - IR includes lift timestamp
+3. **B2R2 version mismatch** - Different versions produce different IR
+
+**Resolution:**
+- Ensure `InvariantCulture` is used for all string formatting
+- Sort basic blocks by entry address before hashing
+- Include B2R2 version in cache keys
+- Use `DeterministicHash` utility for consistent hashing
+
+### 17.5 Architecture Detection Issues
+
+**Symptom:** Wrong architecture selected for multi-arch binary (fat binary)
+
+**Common Causes:**
+1. **Universal binary** - macOS fat binaries contain multiple architectures
+2. **ELF with multiple ABIs** - Rare but possible
+
+**Resolution:**
+```csharp
+// Explicitly specify target architecture
+var liftOptions = new LiftingOptions
+{
+ TargetArchitecture = ISA.AMD64, // Force x86-64
+ IgnoreOtherArchitectures = true
+};
+```
+
+### 17.6 LowUIR Mapping Issues
+
+**Symptom:** Specific B2R2 LowUIR statements not mapped correctly
+
+**Reference: LowUIR Statement Type Mapping**
+
+| B2R2 LowUIR | Stella IR Model | Notes |
+|-------------|-----------------|-------|
+| `LMark` | `IrLabel` | Block label markers |
+| `Put` | `IrAssignment` | Register write |
+| `Store` | `IrStore` | Memory write |
+| `InterJmp` | `IrJump` | Cross-function jump |
+| `IntraJmp` | `IrJump` | Intra-function jump |
+| `InterCJmp` | `IrConditionalJump` | Cross-function conditional |
+| `IntraCJmp` | `IrConditionalJump` | Intra-function conditional |
+| `SideEffect` | `IrCall`/`IrReturn` | Function calls, returns |
+| `Def`/`Use`/`Phi` | `IrPhi` | SSA form constructs |
+
+### 17.7 Diagnostic Commands
+
+```bash
+# Check B2R2 health
+stella ops binaryindex health --verbose
+
+# Run benchmark suite
+stella ops binaryindex bench --iterations 100 --binary sample.so
+
+# View cache statistics
+stella ops binaryindex cache --stats
+
+# Dump effective configuration
+stella ops binaryindex config
+```

+- **81+ → 18 top-level commands** for discoverability
+- **Unified settings under `stella config`** (notify, feeds, registry, integrations)
+- **Unified verification under `stella verify`** (attestation, vex, patch, sbom)
+- **Compound commands split** (`scangraph` → `scan graph`)
+- **Backward compatibility** via deprecated aliases
+
+### Implementation Priorities
+
+1. Foundation (routing, deprecation) must complete first
+2. Sprints 011-014 can run in parallel after foundation
+3. All old commands kept as deprecated aliases until v3.0
+4. Tests must verify both old and new paths

+## 1.1) Command Routing Infrastructure (v2.x→v3.0 Migration)
+
+> Sprint: SPRINT_20260118_010_CLI_consolidation_foundation
+
+The CLI includes a **command routing infrastructure** to support backward-compatible command migration. This enables consolidating 81+ top-level commands into ~18 organized command groups while maintaining backward compatibility.
+
+### Routing Components
+
+```
+src/Cli/StellaOps.Cli/Infrastructure/
+├── ICommandRouter.cs # Router interface
+├── CommandRouter.cs # Route registration and lookup
+├── CommandRoute.cs # Route model (old→new path mapping)
+├── CommandGroupBuilder.cs # Fluent builder for command groups
+├── DeprecationWarningService.cs # Warning display on stderr
+├── RouteMappingConfiguration.cs # JSON config model + loader
+
+src/Cli/StellaOps.Cli/
+└── cli-routes.json # Embedded route mappings (60+ entries)
+```
+
+### How Routing Works
+
+1. **At startup**, `CommandFactory.RegisterDeprecatedAliases()` loads `cli-routes.json` (embedded resource)
+2. **For each deprecated route**, creates a hidden alias command that:
+ - Delegates to the canonical command
+ - Shows a deprecation warning on stderr (once per session)
+3. **Warnings** include the old path, new path, removal version, and suppression instructions
+
+### Route Configuration Schema
+
+```json
+{
+ "version": "1.0",
+ "mappings": [
+ {
+ "old": "scangraph",
+ "new": "scan graph",
+ "type": "deprecated",
+ "removeIn": "3.0",
+ "reason": "Consolidated under scan command"
+ }
+ ]
+}
+```
+
+### Deprecation Warning Format
+
+```
+WARNING: 'stella scangraph' is deprecated and will be removed in v3.0.
+ Use 'stella scan graph' instead.
+ Set STELLA_SUPPRESS_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS=1 to hide this message.
+```
+
+### Timeline
+
+- **v2.x**: Both old and new command paths work; old paths show deprecation warnings
+- **v3.0**: Old command paths removed
+
+### Migration Guide
+
+See [migration-v3.md](./guides/migration-v3.md) for user-facing migration instructions and command mappings.

+# CLI Migration Guide: v2.x to v3.0
+
+This guide documents the CLI command consolidation that begins in v2.x (with deprecation warnings) and completes in v3.0 (old commands removed).
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+The Stella CLI has been reorganized for better discoverability and consistency:
+
+| Change | Reason |
+|--------|--------|
+| 81+ top-level commands → 18 | Easier to discover and remember |
+| Scattered settings → `stella config` | Unified configuration management |
+| Multiple verify commands → `stella verify` | Consistent verification interface |
+| Compound names → proper hierarchy | `scangraph` → `scan graph` |
+
+## Deprecation Timeline
+

+- **v3.0**: Old commands removed
+
+To suppress deprecation warnings during transition:
+```bash
+export STELLA_SUPPRESS_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS=1
+```
