+# Sprint: SPRINT_20260105_002_005_TEST_cross_cutting
+# Task: CCUT-017
+#
+# WORKFLOW PURPOSE:
+# =================
+# Detects uncovered code paths (dead paths) by analyzing branch coverage data.
+# Compares against baseline exemptions and fails on new dead paths to prevent
+# coverage regression and identify potential unreachable code.
+#
+# Coverage collection uses Coverlet with Cobertura output format.

+
+            Dead paths are code branches that are never executed during tests. To fix:
+
+            1. **Add tests** that exercise the uncovered branches
+            2. **Remove dead code** if the branch is truly unreachable
+            3. **Add exemption** if the code is intentionally untested (document reason)
+
+            Example exemption in \`coverage-exemptions.yaml\`:
+            \`\`\`yaml
+            exemptions:
+              - "src/Module/File.cs:42"  # Emergency handler - tested manually
+            \`\`\`

+# Task: CCUT-025
+#
+# WORKFLOW PURPOSE:
+# =================
+# Measures the time required to rollback a deployment and restore service health.
+# This validates the rollback SLO (< 5 minutes) and provides visibility into
+# deployment reversibility characteristics.
+#
+# The workflow performs a controlled rollback, measures timing metrics, and
+# restores the original version afterward.

+
+            Schema evolution tests verify that:
+            - Current code works with previous schema versions (N-1, N-2)
+            - Rolling deployments don't break during migration windows
+            - Rollbacks are safe when schema hasn't been migrated yet
+
+            If tests fail, consider:
+            1. Adding backward-compatible default values
+            2. Using nullable columns for new fields
+            3. Creating migration-safe queries
+            4. Updating the compatibility matrix

+#
+# USAGE:
+# ======
+# Add file:line entries for code paths that are intentionally not covered.
+# Each exemption MUST include a justification explaining why testing is not required.
+#
+# CATEGORIES:
+# ===========
+# - emergency: Emergency/fallback handlers that are tested manually
+# - platform: Platform-specific code paths (e.g., Windows-only on Linux CI)
+# - external: External system error handlers (e.g., network timeouts)
+# - deprecated: Deprecated code paths scheduled for removal
+# - defensive: Defensive programming that should never execute
+#
+# REVIEW:
+# =======
+# Exemptions should be reviewed quarterly. Remove exemptions for:
+# - Code that has been deleted
+# - Code that now has test coverage
+# - Deprecated code that has been removed

+# Sprint 20260105_002_001_LB - HLC: Hybrid Logical Clock Core Library
+
+## Topic & Scope
+
+Implement a Hybrid Logical Clock (HLC) library for deterministic, monotonic job ordering across distributed nodes. This addresses the gap identified in the "Audit-safe job queue ordering" product advisory where StellaOps currently uses wall-clock timestamps susceptible to clock skew.
+
+- **Working directory:** `src/__Libraries/StellaOps.HybridLogicalClock/`
+- **Evidence:** NuGet package, unit tests, integration tests, benchmark results
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+Current StellaOps architecture uses:
+- `TimeProvider.GetUtcNow()` for wall-clock time (deterministic but not skew-resistant)
+- Per-module sequence numbers (local ordering, not global)
+- Hash chains only in downstream ledgers (Findings, Orchestrator Audit)
+
+The advisory prescribes:
+- HLC `(T, NodeId, Ctr)` tuples for global logical time
+- Total ordering via `(T_hlc, PartitionKey?, JobId)` sort key
+- Hash chain at enqueue time, not just downstream
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+
+- **Depends on:** SPRINT_20260104_001_BE (TimeProvider injection complete)
+- **Blocks:** SPRINT_20260105_002_002_SCHEDULER (HLC queue chain)
+- **Parallel safe:** Library development independent of other modules
+
+## Documentation Prerequisites
+
+- docs/README.md
+- docs/ARCHITECTURE_REFERENCE.md
+- CLAUDE.md Section 8.2 (Deterministic Time & ID Generation)
+- Product Advisory: "Audit-safe job queue ordering using monotonic timestamps"
+
+## Technical Design
+
+### HLC Algorithm (Lamport + Physical Clock Hybrid)
+
+```
+On local event or send:
+    l' = l
+    l = max(l, physical_clock())
+    if l == l':
+        c = c + 1
+    else:
+        c = 0
+    return (l, node_id, c)
+
+On receive(m_l, m_c):
+    l' = l
+    l = max(l', m_l, physical_clock())
+    if l == l' == m_l:
+        c = max(c, m_c) + 1
+    elif l == l':
+        c = c + 1
+    elif l == m_l:
+        c = m_c + 1
+    else:
+        c = 0
+    return (l, node_id, c)
+```
+
+### Data Model
+
+```csharp
+/// <summary>
+/// Hybrid Logical Clock timestamp providing monotonic, causally-ordered time
+/// across distributed nodes even under clock skew.
+/// </summary>
+public readonly record struct HlcTimestamp : IComparable<HlcTimestamp>

+    public string ToSortableString() => $"{PhysicalTime:D13}-{NodeId}-{LogicalCounter:D6}";
+
+    /// <summary>Parse from sortable string format.</summary>
+    public static HlcTimestamp Parse(string value);
+
+    /// <summary>Compare for total ordering.</summary>
+    public int CompareTo(HlcTimestamp other);
+}
+```
+
+### Interfaces
+
+```csharp
+/// <summary>
+/// Hybrid Logical Clock for monotonic timestamp generation.
+/// </summary>
+public interface IHybridLogicalClock
+{
+    /// <summary>Generate next timestamp for local event.</summary>
+    HlcTimestamp Tick();
+
+    /// <summary>Update clock on receiving remote timestamp, return merged result.</summary>
+    HlcTimestamp Receive(HlcTimestamp remote);
+
+    /// <summary>Current clock state (for persistence/recovery).</summary>
+    HlcTimestamp Current { get; }
+
+    /// <summary>Node identifier for this clock instance.</summary>
+    string NodeId { get; }
+}
+
+/// <summary>
+/// Persistent storage for HLC state (survives restarts).
+/// </summary>
+public interface IHlcStateStore
+{
+    /// <summary>Load last persisted HLC state for node.</summary>
+    Task<HlcTimestamp?> LoadAsync(string nodeId, CancellationToken ct = default);
+
+    /// <summary>Persist HLC state (called after each tick).</summary>
+    Task SaveAsync(HlcTimestamp timestamp, CancellationToken ct = default);
+}
+```
+
+### PostgreSQL Schema
+
+```sql
+-- HLC state persistence (one row per node)
+CREATE TABLE scheduler.hlc_state (
+    node_id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,

+
+### Comparison for Total Ordering
+
+```csharp
+public int CompareTo(HlcTimestamp other)
+{
+    // Primary: physical time
+    var physicalCompare = PhysicalTime.CompareTo(other.PhysicalTime);
+    if (physicalCompare != 0) return physicalCompare;
+
+    // Secondary: logical counter
+    var counterCompare = LogicalCounter.CompareTo(other.LogicalCounter);
+    if (counterCompare != 0) return counterCompare;
+
+    // Tertiary: node ID (for stable tie-breaking)
+    return string.Compare(NodeId, other.NodeId, StringComparison.Ordinal);
+}
+```
+
+## Test Cases
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+| Test | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `Tick_Monotonic` | Successive ticks always increase |
+| `Tick_SamePhysicalTime_IncrementCounter` | Counter increments when physical time unchanged |
+| `Tick_NewPhysicalTime_ResetCounter` | Counter resets when physical time advances |
+| `Receive_MergesCorrectly` | Remote timestamp merged per HLC algorithm |
+| `Receive_ClockSkewExceeded_Throws` | Excessive skew detected and rejected |
+| `Parse_RoundTrip` | ToSortableString/Parse symmetry |
+| `CompareTo_TotalOrdering` | All orderings follow spec |
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+| Test | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `ConcurrentTicks_AllUnique` | 1000 concurrent ticks produce unique timestamps |
+| `NodeRestart_ResumesFromPersisted` | After restart, clock >= persisted state |
+| `MultiNode_CausalOrdering` | Messages across nodes maintain causal order |
+| `PostgresStateStore_AtomicUpdate` | Concurrent saves don't lose state |
+
+## Metrics & Observability
+
+```csharp
+// Counters
+hlc_ticks_total{node_id}                    // Total ticks generated
+hlc_receives_total{node_id}                 // Total remote timestamps received
+hlc_clock_skew_rejections_total{node_id}    // Skew threshold exceeded
+
+// Histograms
+hlc_tick_duration_seconds{node_id}          // Tick operation latency
+hlc_logical_counter_value{node_id}          // Counter distribution
+
+// Gauges
+hlc_physical_time_offset_seconds{node_id}   // Drift from wall clock
+```
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+| Store physical time as Unix milliseconds | Sufficient precision, compact storage |
+| Use string node ID (not UUID) | Human-readable, stable across restarts |
+| Fire-and-forget state persistence | Performance; recovery handles gaps |
+| 1-minute default max skew | Balance between strictness and operability |
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|
+| Clock skew exceeds threshold | Alert on `hlc_clock_skew_rejections_total`; NTP hardening |
+| State store unavailable | In-memory continues; warns on recovery |
+| Counter overflow (INT) | At 1M ticks/sec, 35 minutes to overflow; use long if needed |

+# Sprint 20260105_002_001_TEST - Testing Enhancements Phase 1: Time-Skew Simulation & Idempotency Verification
+
+## Topic & Scope
+
+Implement comprehensive time-skew simulation utilities and idempotency verification tests across StellaOps modules. This addresses the advisory insight that "systems fail quietly under temporal edge conditions" by testing clock drift, leap seconds, TTL boundary conditions, and ensuring retry scenarios never create divergent state.
+
+**Advisory Reference:** Product advisory "New Testing Enhancements for Stella Ops" (05-Dec-2026), Sections 1 & 3
+
+**Key Insight:** While StellaOps has `TimeProvider` injection patterns across modules, there are no systematic tests for temporal edge cases (leap seconds, clock drift, DST transitions) or explicit idempotency verification under retry conditions.
+
+**Working directory:** `src/__Tests/__Libraries/`
+
+**Evidence:** New `StellaOps.Testing.Temporal` library, idempotency test patterns, module-specific temporal tests.
+

+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+
+| Dependency | Type | Status |
+|------------|------|--------|
+| StellaOps.TestKit | Internal | Stable |
+| StellaOps.Testing.Determinism | Internal | Stable |
+| Microsoft.Extensions.TimeProvider.Testing | Package | Available (net10.0) |
+| xUnit | Package | Stable |
+
+**Parallel Execution:** Tasks TSKW-001 through TSKW-006 can proceed in parallel (library foundation). TSKW-007+ depend on foundation.

+
+```
+Module Code
+    |
+    v
+TimeProvider Injection (via constructor)
+    |
+    v
+Module-specific FakeTimeProvider/FixedTimeProvider (duplicated across modules)
+    |
+    v
+Basic frozen-time tests (fixed point in time)
+```
+
+**Limitations:**
+1. **No shared time simulation library** - Each module implements own FakeTimeProvider
+2. **No temporal edge case testing** - Leap seconds, DST, clock drift untested
+3. **No TTL boundary testing** - Cache expiry, token expiry at exact boundaries
+4. **No idempotency assertions** - Retry scenarios don't verify state consistency
+5. **No clock progression simulation** - Tests use frozen time, not advancing time

+### New Components
+
+#### 1. Simulated Time Provider
+

+
+#### 2. Leap Second Time Provider
+
+```csharp

+> **Related Sprints**: SPRINT_20260106_004_001_FE_quiet_triage_ux_integration
+

+
+## Original Advisory
+
+Here's a simple, noise-cutting design for container/security scan results that balances speed, evidence, and auditability.
+
+---
+
+# Quiet-by-default triage, attested exceptions, and provenance drill-downs
+
+**Why this matters (quick context):** Modern scanners flood teams with CVEs. Most aren't reachable in your runtime, many are already mitigated, and auditors still want proof. The goal is to surface what truly needs action, keep everything else reviewable, and leave a cryptographic paper trail.
+
+## 1) Scan triage lanes (Quiet vs Review)
+
+* **Quiet lane (default):** Only show findings that are **reachable**, **affecting your runtime**, and **lack a valid VEX** (Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange) statement. Everything else stays out of your way.
+* **Review lane:** Every remaining signal (unreachable, dev-only deps, already-VEXed, kernel-gated, sandboxed, etc.).
+* **One-click export:** Any lane/view exports an **attested rationale** (hashes, rules fired, inputs/versions) as a signed record for auditors. Keeps the UI calm while preserving evidence.
+
+**How it decides "Quiet":**
+
+* Call-graph reachability (package -> symbol -> call-path to entrypoints).
+* Runtime context (containers, namespaces, seccomp/AppArmor, user/group, capabilities).
+* Policy/VEX merge (vendor VEX + your org policy + exploit intel).
+* Environment facts (network egress, isolation, feature flags).
+
+## 2) Exception / VEX approval flow
+
+* **Two steps:**
+
+  1. **Proposer** selects finding(s), adds rationale (backport present, not loaded, unreachable, compensating control).
+  2. **Approver** sees **call-path**, **exploit/telemetry signal**, and the **applicable policy clause** side-by-side.
+* **Output:** Approval emits a **signed VEX** plus a **policy attestation** (what rule allowed it, when, by whom). These propagate across services so the same CVE is quiet elsewhere automatically--no ticket ping-pong.
+
+## 3) Provenance drill-down (never lose "why")
+
+* **Breadcrumb bar:** `image -> layer -> package -> symbol -> call-path`.
+* Every hop shows its **inline attestations** (SBOM slice, build metadata, signatures, policy hits). You can answer "why is this green/red?" without context-switching.
+
+---
+
+## What this feels like day-to-day
+
+* Inbox shows **only actionables**; everything else is one click away in Review with evidence intact.
+* Exceptions are **deliberate and reversible**, with proof you can hand to security/compliance.
+* Engineers debug with a **single visual path** from image to code path, backed by signed facts.
+
+## Minimal data model you'll need
+
+* SBOM (per image/layer) with package->file->symbol mapping.
+* Reachability graph (entrypoints, handlers, jobs) + runtime observations.
+* Policy/VEX store (vendor, OSS, and org-authored) with merge/versioning.
+* Attestation ledger (hashes, timestamps, signers, inputs/outputs for exports).
+
+## Fast implementation sketch
+
+* Start with triage rules: `reachable && affecting && !has_valid_VEX -> Quiet; else -> Review`.
+* Build the breadcrumb UI on top of your existing SBOM + call-graph, then add inline attestation chips.
+* Wrap exception approvals in a signer: on approve, generate VEX + policy attestation and broadcast.
+
+If you want, I can draft the JSON schemas (SBOM slice, reachability edge, VEX record, attestation) and the exact UI wireframes for the lanes, approval modal, and breadcrumb bar.

+# HLC Job Sync Offline Operations
+
+Sprint: SPRINT_20260105_002_003_ROUTER
+
+This document describes the offline job synchronization mechanism using Hybrid Logical Clock (HLC) ordering for air-gap scenarios.
+
+## Overview
+
+When nodes operate in disconnected/offline mode, scheduled jobs are enqueued locally with HLC timestamps. Upon reconnection or air-gap transfer, these job logs are merged deterministically to maintain global ordering.
+
+Key features:
+- **Deterministic ordering**: Jobs merge by HLC total order `(T_hlc.PhysicalTime, T_hlc.LogicalCounter, NodeId, JobId)`
+- **Chain integrity**: Each entry links to the previous via `link = Hash(prev_link || job_id || t_hlc || payload_hash)`
+- **Conflict-free**: Same payload = same JobId (deterministic), so duplicates are safely dropped
+- **Audit trail**: Source node ID and original links preserved for traceability
+
+## CLI Commands
+
+### Export Job Logs
+
+Export offline job logs to a sync bundle for air-gap transfer:
+
+```bash
+# Export job logs for a tenant
+stella airgap jobs export --tenant my-tenant -o job-sync-bundle.json
+
+# Export with verbose output
+stella airgap jobs export --tenant my-tenant -o bundle.json --verbose
+
+# Export as JSON for automation
+stella airgap jobs export --tenant my-tenant --json
+```
+
+Options:
+- `--tenant, -t` - Tenant ID (defaults to "default")
+- `--output, -o` - Output file path
+- `--node` - Export specific node only (default: current node)
+- `--sign` - Sign bundle with DSSE
+- `--json` - Output result as JSON
+- `--verbose` - Enable verbose logging
+
+### Import Job Logs
+
+Import a job sync bundle from air-gap transfer:
+
+```bash
+# Verify bundle without importing
+stella airgap jobs import bundle.json --verify-only
+
+# Import bundle
+stella airgap jobs import bundle.json
+
+# Force import despite validation issues
+stella airgap jobs import bundle.json --force
+
+# Import with JSON output for automation
+stella airgap jobs import bundle.json --json
+```
+
+Options:
+- `bundle` - Path to job sync bundle file (required)
+- `--verify-only` - Only verify the bundle without importing
+- `--force` - Force import even if validation fails
+- `--json` - Output result as JSON
+- `--verbose` - Enable verbose logging
+
+### List Available Bundles
+
+List job sync bundles in a directory:
+
+```bash
+# List bundles in current directory
+stella airgap jobs list
+
+# List bundles in specific directory
+stella airgap jobs list --source /path/to/bundles
+
+# Output as JSON
+stella airgap jobs list --json
+```
+
+Options:
+- `--source, -s` - Source directory (default: current directory)
+- `--json` - Output result as JSON
+- `--verbose` - Enable verbose logging
+
+## Bundle Format
+
+Job sync bundles are JSON files with the following structure:
+
+```json
+{
+  "bundleId": "guid",
+  "tenantId": "string",
+  "createdAt": "ISO8601",
+  "createdByNodeId": "string",
+  "manifestDigest": "sha256:hex",
+  "signature": "base64 (optional)",
+  "signedBy": "keyId (optional)",
+  "jobLogs": [
+    {
+      "nodeId": "string",
+      "lastHlc": "HLC timestamp string",
+      "chainHead": "base64",
+      "entries": [
+        {
+          "nodeId": "string",
+          "tHlc": "HLC timestamp string",
+          "jobId": "guid",
+          "partitionKey": "string (optional)",
+          "payload": "JSON string",
+          "payloadHash": "base64",
+          "prevLink": "base64 (null for first)",
+          "link": "base64",
+          "enqueuedAt": "ISO8601"
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Validation
+
+Bundle validation checks:
+1. **Manifest digest**: Recomputes digest from job logs and compares
+2. **Chain integrity**: Verifies each entry's prev_link matches expected
+3. **Link verification**: Recomputes links and verifies against stored values
+4. **Chain head**: Verifies last entry link matches node's chain head
+
+## Merge Algorithm
+
+When importing bundles from multiple nodes:
+
+1. **Collect**: Gather all entries from all node logs
+2. **Sort**: Order by HLC total order `(PhysicalTime, LogicalCounter, NodeId, JobId)`
+3. **Deduplicate**: Same JobId = same payload (drop later duplicates)
+4. **Recompute chain**: Build unified chain from merged entries
+
+This produces a deterministic ordering regardless of import sequence.
+
+## Conflict Resolution
+
+| Scenario | Resolution |
+|----------|------------|
+| Same JobId, same payload, different HLC | Take earliest HLC, drop duplicates |
+| Same JobId, different payloads | Error - indicates bug in deterministic ID computation |
+
+## Metrics
+
+The following metrics are emitted:
+
+| Metric | Type | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| `airgap_bundles_exported_total` | Counter | Total bundles exported |
+| `airgap_bundles_imported_total` | Counter | Total bundles imported |
+| `airgap_jobs_synced_total` | Counter | Total jobs synced |
+| `airgap_duplicates_dropped_total` | Counter | Duplicates dropped during merge |
+| `airgap_merge_conflicts_total` | Counter | Merge conflicts by type |
+| `airgap_offline_enqueues_total` | Counter | Offline enqueue operations |
+| `airgap_bundle_size_bytes` | Histogram | Bundle size distribution |
+| `airgap_sync_duration_seconds` | Histogram | Sync operation duration |
+| `airgap_merge_entries_count` | Histogram | Entries per merge operation |
+
+## Service Registration
+
+To use job sync in your application:
+
+```csharp
+// Register core services
+services.AddAirGapSyncServices(nodeId: "my-node-id");
+
+// Register file-based transport (for air-gap)
+services.AddFileBasedJobSyncTransport();
+
+// Or router-based transport (for connected scenarios)
+services.AddRouterJobSyncTransport();
+
+// Register sync service (requires ISyncSchedulerLogRepository)
+services.AddAirGapSyncImportService();
+```
+
+## Operational Runbook
+
+### Pre-Export Checklist
+- [ ] Node has offline job logs to export
+- [ ] Target path is writable
+- [ ] Signing key available (if --sign used)
+
+### Pre-Import Checklist
+- [ ] Bundle file accessible
+- [ ] Bundle signature verified (if signed)
+- [ ] Scheduler database accessible
+- [ ] Sufficient disk space
+
+### Recovery Procedures
+
+**Chain validation failure:**
+1. Identify which entry has chain break
+2. Check for data corruption in bundle
+3. Re-export from source node if possible
+4. Use `--force` only if data loss is acceptable
+
+**Duplicate conflict:**
+1. This is expected - duplicates are safely dropped
+2. Check duplicate count in output
+3. Verify merged jobs match expected count
+
+**Payload mismatch (same JobId, different payloads):**
+1. This indicates a bug - same idempotency key should produce same payload
+2. Review job generation logic
+3. Do not force import - fix root cause

+# Sprint 20260106_001_001_LB - Determinization: Core Models and Types
+
+## Topic & Scope
+
+Create the foundational models and types for the Determinization subsystem. This implements the core data structures from the advisory: `pending_determinization` state, `SignalState<T>` wrapper, `UncertaintyScore`, and `ObservationDecay`.
+
+- **Working directory:** `src/Policy/__Libraries/StellaOps.Policy.Determinization/`
+- **Evidence:** New library project, model classes, unit tests
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+Current state tracking for CVEs:
+- VEX has 4 states (`Affected`, `NotAffected`, `Fixed`, `UnderInvestigation`)
+- Unknowns tracked separately via `Unknown` entity in Policy.Unknowns
+- No unified "observation state" for CVE lifecycle
+- Signal absence (EPSS null) indistinguishable from "not queried"
+
+Advisory requires:
+- `pending_determinization` as first-class observation state
+- `SignalState<T>` distinguishing `NotQueried` vs `Queried(null)` vs `Queried(value)`
+- `UncertaintyScore` measuring knowledge completeness (not code entropy)
+- `ObservationDecay` tracking evidence staleness with configurable half-life
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+
+- **Depends on:** None (foundational library)
+- **Blocks:** SPRINT_20260106_001_002_LB (scoring), SPRINT_20260106_001_003_POLICY (gates)
+- **Parallel safe:** New library; no cross-module conflicts
+
+## Documentation Prerequisites
+
+- docs/modules/policy/determinization-architecture.md
+- src/Policy/AGENTS.md
+- Product Advisory: "Unknown CVEs: graceful placeholders, not blockers"
+
+## Technical Design

+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1. All model types compile without warnings
+2. Unit tests pass for all factory methods
+3. `SignalState<T>` correctly distinguishes NotQueried/Queried/Failed
+4. `UncertaintyScore.Tier` correctly maps entropy ranges
+5. `ObservationDecay` correctly calculates staleness
+6. All records are immutable and use `required` where appropriate
+7. XML documentation complete for all public types
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+| Separate `ObservationState` from VEX status | Orthogonal concerns: VEX = vulnerability impact, Observation = evidence lifecycle |
+| `SignalState<T>` as generic wrapper | Type safety for different evidence types; unified null-awareness |
+| Entropy tiers at 0.2 increments | Aligns with existing confidence tiers; provides 5 distinct levels |
+| 14-day default half-life | Per advisory recommendation; shorter than existing 90-day FreshnessCalculator |
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|
+| Evidence type proliferation | Keep evidence records minimal; reference existing types where possible |
+| Name collision with EntropySignal | Use "Uncertainty" terminology consistently; document difference |
+| Breaking changes to PolicyVerdictStatus | GuardedPass addition is additive; existing code unaffected |

+# Sprint 20260106_001_001_LB - Unified Verdict Rationale Renderer
+
+## Topic & Scope
+
+Implement a unified verdict rationale renderer that composes existing evidence (PathWitness, RiskVerdictAttestation, ScoreExplanation, VEX consensus) into a standardized 4-line template for consistent explainability across UI, CLI, and API.
+
+- **Working directory:** `src/Policy/__Libraries/StellaOps.Policy.Explainability/`
+- **Evidence:** New library with renderer, tests, schema validation
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+The product advisory requires **uniform, explainable verdicts** with a 4-line template:
+
+1. **Evidence:** "CVE-2024-XXXX in `libxyz` 1.2.3; symbol `foo_read` reachable from `/usr/bin/tool`."
+2. **Policy clause:** "Policy S2.1: reachable+EPSS>=0.2 => triage=P1."
+3. **Attestations/Proofs:** "Build-ID match to vendor advisory; call-path: `main->parse->foo_read`."
+4. **Decision:** "Affected (score 0.72). Mitigation recommended: upgrade or backport KB-123."
+
+Current state:
+- `RiskVerdictAttestation` has `Explanation` field but no structured format
+- `PathWitness` documents call paths but not rendered into rationale
+- `ScoreExplanation` has factor breakdowns but not composed with verdicts
+- `VerdictReasonCode` has descriptions but not formatted for users
+- `AdvisoryAI.ExplanationResult` provides LLM explanations but no template enforcement
+
+**Gap:** No unified renderer that composes these pieces into the 4-line format for any output channel.
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+
+- **Depends on:** None (uses existing models)
+- **Blocks:** None
+- **Parallel safe:** New library; no cross-module conflicts
+
+## Documentation Prerequisites
+
+- docs/modules/policy/architecture.md
+- src/Policy/AGENTS.md (if exists)
+- Product Advisory: "Smart-Diff & Unknowns" explainability section

+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1. **4-Line Template:** All rationales follow Evidence -> Policy -> Attestations -> Decision format
+2. **Determinism:** Same inputs produce identical rationale IDs (content-addressed)
+3. **Output Formats:** Plain text, Markdown, and JSON outputs available
+4. **Reproducibility:** Input digests enable verification of rationale computation
+5. **Integration:** Renderer integrated into Scanner.WebService and CLI
+6. **Test Coverage:** Unit tests for each line, golden fixtures for formats
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+| New library vs extension | Clean separation; renderer has no side effects |
+| Content-addressed IDs | Enables caching and deduplication |
+| RFC 8785 JSON | Consistent with existing canonical JSON usage |
+| Optional components | Graceful degradation when PathWitness/VEX unavailable |
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|
+| Template too rigid | Make format configurable via options |
+| Missing context | Fallback text when components unavailable |
+| Performance | Cache rendered rationales by input digest |

+# Sprint 20260106_001_002_LB - Determinization: Scoring and Decay Calculations
+
+## Topic & Scope
+
+Implement the scoring and decay calculation services for the Determinization subsystem. This includes `UncertaintyScoreCalculator` (entropy from signal completeness), `DecayedConfidenceCalculator` (half-life decay), configurable signal weights, and prior distributions for missing signals.
+
+- **Working directory:** `src/Policy/__Libraries/StellaOps.Policy.Determinization/`
+- **Evidence:** Calculator implementations, configuration options, unit tests
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+Current confidence calculation:
+- Uses `ConfidenceScore` with weighted factors
+- No explicit "knowledge completeness" entropy calculation
+- `FreshnessCalculator` exists but uses 90-day half-life, not configurable per-observation
+- No prior distributions for missing signals
+
+Advisory requires:
+- Entropy formula: `entropy = 1 - (weighted_present_signals / max_possible_weight)`
+- Decay formula: `decayed = max(floor, exp(-ln(2) * age_days / half_life_days))`
+- Configurable signal weights (default: VEX=0.25, EPSS=0.15, Reach=0.25, Runtime=0.15, Backport=0.10, SBOM=0.10)
+- 14-day half-life default (configurable)
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+
+- **Depends on:** SPRINT_20260106_001_001_LB (core models)
+- **Blocks:** SPRINT_20260106_001_003_POLICY (gates)
+- **Parallel safe:** Library additions; no cross-module conflicts
+
+## Documentation Prerequisites
+
+- docs/modules/policy/determinization-architecture.md
+- SPRINT_20260106_001_001_LB (core models)
+- Existing: `src/Excititor/__Libraries/StellaOps.Excititor.Core/TrustVector/FreshnessCalculator.cs`

+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1. `UncertaintyScoreCalculator` produces entropy [0.0, 1.0] for any input
+2. `DecayedConfidenceCalculator` correctly applies half-life formula
+3. Decay never drops below configured floor
+4. Missing signals correctly contribute to higher entropy
+5. Signal weights are normalized before calculation
+6. Priors are applied when signals are missing
+7. All services registered in DI correctly
+8. Configuration options validated at startup
+9. Metrics emitted for observability
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+| 14-day default half-life | Per advisory; shorter than existing 90-day gives more urgency |
+| 0.35 floor | Consistent with existing FreshnessCalculator; prevents zero confidence |
+| Normalized weights | Ensures entropy calculation is consistent regardless of weight scale |
+| Conservative priors | Missing data assumes moderate risk, not best/worst case |
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|
+| Calculation overhead | Cache results per snapshot; calculators are stateless |
+| Weight misconfiguration | Validation at startup; presets for common scenarios |
+| Clock skew affecting decay | Use TimeProvider abstraction; handle future timestamps gracefully |

+# Sprint 20260106_001_002_SCANNER - Suppression Proof Model
+
+## Topic & Scope
+
+Implement `SuppressionWitness` - a DSSE-signable proof documenting why a vulnerability is **not affected**, complementing the existing `PathWitness` which documents reachable paths.
+
+- **Working directory:** `src/Scanner/__Libraries/StellaOps.Scanner.Reachability/`
+- **Evidence:** SuppressionWitness model, builder, signer, tests
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+The product advisory requires **proof objects for both outcomes**:
+
+- If "affected": attach *minimal counterexample path* (entrypoint -> vulnerable symbol) - **EXISTS: PathWitness**
+- If "not affected": attach *suppression proof* (e.g., dead code after linker GC; feature flag off; patched symbol diff) - **GAP**
+
+Current state:
+- `PathWitness` documents reachability (why code IS reachable)
+- VEX status can be "not_affected" but lacks structured proof
+- Gate detection (`DetectedGate`) shows mitigating controls but doesn't form a complete suppression proof
+- No model for "why this vulnerability doesn't apply"
+
+**Gap:** No `SuppressionWitness` model to document and attest why a vulnerability is not exploitable.
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+
+- **Depends on:** None (extends existing Witnesses module)
+- **Blocks:** SPRINT_20260106_001_001_LB (rationale renderer uses SuppressionWitness)
+- **Parallel safe:** Extends existing module; no conflicts
+
+## Documentation Prerequisites
+
+- docs/modules/scanner/architecture.md
+- src/Scanner/AGENTS.md
+- Existing PathWitness implementation at `src/Scanner/__Libraries/StellaOps.Scanner.Reachability/Witnesses/`

+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1. **Completeness:** All 10 suppression types have dedicated builders
+2. **DSSE Signing:** All suppression witnesses are signable with DSSE
+3. **Determinism:** Same inputs produce identical witness IDs (content-addressed)
+4. **Schema:** JSON schema registered at `stellaops.suppression.v1`
+5. **Integration:** ReachabilityStackEvaluator returns SuppressionWitness for not-affected findings
+6. **Test Coverage:** Unit tests for all builder methods, property tests for determinism
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+| 10 suppression types | Covers all common not-affected scenarios per advisory |
+| Content-addressed IDs | Enables caching and deduplication |
+| Confidence scores | Different evidence has different reliability |
+| Optional expiration | Some suppressions are time-bounded (e.g., pending patches) |
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|
+| False suppression | Confidence thresholds; manual review for low confidence |
+| Missing suppression type | Extensible enum; can add new types |
+| Complex evidence | Structured sub-records for each type |

+# Sprint 20260106_001_003_BINDEX - Symbol Table Diff
+
+## Topic & Scope
+
+Extend `PatchDiffEngine` with symbol table comparison capabilities to track exported/imported symbol changes, version maps, and GOT/PLT table modifications between binary versions.
+
+- **Working directory:** `src/BinaryIndex/__Libraries/StellaOps.BinaryIndex.Builders/`
+- **Evidence:** SymbolTableDiff model, analyzer, tests, integration with MaterialChange
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+The product advisory requires **per-layer diffs** including:
+> **Symbols:** exported symbols and version maps; highlight ABI-relevant changes.
+
+Current state:
+- `PatchDiffEngine` compares **function bodies** (fingerprints, CFG, basic blocks)
+- `DeltaSignatureGenerator` creates CVE signatures at function level
+- No comparison of:
+  - Exported symbol table (.dynsym, .symtab)
+  - Imported symbols and version requirements (.gnu.version_r)
+  - Symbol versioning maps (.gnu.version, .gnu.version_d)
+  - GOT/PLT entries (dynamic linking)
+  - Relocation entries
+
+**Gap:** Symbol-level changes between binaries are not detected or reported.
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+
+- **Depends on:** StellaOps.BinaryIndex.Disassembly (for ELF/PE parsing)
+- **Blocks:** SPRINT_20260106_001_004_LB (orchestrator uses symbol diffs)
+- **Parallel safe:** Extends existing module; no conflicts
+
+## Documentation Prerequisites
+
+- docs/modules/binary-index/architecture.md
+- src/BinaryIndex/AGENTS.md
+- Existing PatchDiffEngine at `src/BinaryIndex/__Libraries/StellaOps.BinaryIndex.Builders/`
+

+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1. **Completeness:** Extract exports, imports, versions, GOT/PLT from ELF and PE
+2. **Change Detection:** Identify added, removed, modified, renamed symbols
+3. **ABI Assessment:** Classify compatibility level with breaking change details
+4. **Rename Detection:** Match renames via fingerprint similarity (threshold 0.7)
+5. **MaterialChange Integration:** Symbol changes appear as `scope: symbol` in diffs
+6. **Test Coverage:** Unit tests for all extractors, golden fixtures for known binaries
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+| Content-addressed diff IDs | Enables caching and deduplication |
+| ABI compatibility scoring | Provides quick triage of binary changes |
+| Fingerprint-based rename detection | Handles version-to-version symbol renames |
+| Separate ELF/PE extractors | Different binary formats require different parsing |
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|
+| Large symbol tables | Paginate results; index by name |
+| False rename detection | Confidence threshold; manual review for low confidence |
+| Stripped binaries | Graceful degradation; note limited analysis |

+# Sprint 20260106_001_003_POLICY - Determinization: Policy Engine Integration
+
+## Topic & Scope
+
+Integrate the Determinization subsystem into the Policy Engine. This includes the `DeterminizationGate`, policy rules for allow/quarantine/escalate, `GuardedPass` verdict status extension, and event-driven re-evaluation subscriptions.
+
+- **Working directory:** `src/Policy/StellaOps.Policy.Engine/` and `src/Policy/__Libraries/StellaOps.Policy/`
+- **Evidence:** Gate implementation, verdict extension, policy rules, integration tests
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+Current Policy Engine:
+- Uses `PolicyVerdictStatus` with Pass, Blocked, Ignored, Warned, Deferred, Escalated, RequiresVex
+- No "allow with guardrails" outcome for uncertain observations
+- No gate specifically for determinization/uncertainty thresholds
+- No automatic re-evaluation when new signals arrive
+
+Advisory requires:
+- `GuardedPass` status for allowing uncertain observations with monitoring
+- `DeterminizationGate` that checks entropy/score thresholds
+- Policy rules: allow (score<0.5, entropy>0.4, non-prod), quarantine (EPSS>=0.4 or reachable), escalate (runtime proof)
+- Signal update subscriptions for automatic re-evaluation
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+
+- **Depends on:** SPRINT_20260106_001_001_LB, SPRINT_20260106_001_002_LB (determinization library)
+- **Blocks:** SPRINT_20260106_001_004_BE (backend integration)
+- **Parallel safe:** Policy module changes; coordinate with existing gate implementations
+
+## Documentation Prerequisites
+
+- docs/modules/policy/determinization-architecture.md
+- docs/modules/policy/architecture.md
+- src/Policy/AGENTS.md
+- Existing: `src/Policy/__Libraries/StellaOps.Policy/PolicyVerdict.cs`
+- Existing: `src/Policy/StellaOps.Policy.Engine/Gates/`

+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1. `PolicyVerdictStatus.GuardedPass` compiles and serializes correctly
+2. `DeterminizationGate` integrates with existing gate pipeline
+3. All 11 rules evaluate in correct priority order
+4. `SignalUpdateHandler` correctly triggers re-evaluation
+5. State transitions follow expected logic
+6. Metrics emitted for all evaluations and transitions
+7. Integration tests pass with mock signal sources
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+| Gate priority 50 | After VEX gates (30-40), before compliance gates (60+) |
+| 11 rules in default set | Covers all advisory scenarios; extensible |
+| Event-driven re-evaluation | Reactive system; no polling required |
+| Separate IObservationRepository | Decouples from specific persistence; testable |
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|
+| Rule evaluation performance | Rules short-circuit on first match; cached signal snapshots |
+| Event storm on bulk updates | Batch processing; debounce repeated events |
+| Breaking existing PolicyVerdictStatus consumers | GuardedPass=1 shifts existing values; requires migration |
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+### PolicyVerdictStatus Value Change
+
+Adding `GuardedPass = 1` shifts existing enum values:
+- `Blocked` was 1, now 2
+- `Ignored` was 2, now 3
+- etc.
+
+**Migration strategy:**
+1. Add `GuardedPass` at the end first (`= 8`) for backward compatibility
+2. Update all consumers
+3. Reorder enum values in next major version
+
+Alternatively, insert `GuardedPass` with explicit value assignment to avoid breaking changes:
+
+```csharp
+public enum PolicyVerdictStatus
+{
+    Pass = 0,
+    Blocked = 1,          // Keep existing
+    Ignored = 2,          // Keep existing
+    Warned = 3,           // Keep existing
+    Deferred = 4,         // Keep existing
+    Escalated = 5,        // Keep existing
+    RequiresVex = 6,      // Keep existing
+    GuardedPass = 7       // NEW - at end
+}
+```

+# Sprint 20260106_001_004_BE - Determinization: Backend Integration
+
+## Topic & Scope
+
+Integrate the Determinization subsystem with backend modules: Feedser (signal attachment), VexLens (VEX signal emission), Graph (CVE node enhancement), and Findings (observation persistence). This connects the policy infrastructure to data sources.
+
+- **Working directories:**
+  - `src/Feedser/`
+  - `src/VexLens/`
+  - `src/Graph/`
+  - `src/Findings/`
+- **Evidence:** Signal attachers, repository implementations, graph node enhancements, integration tests
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+Current backend state:
+- Feedser collects EPSS/VEX/advisories but doesn't emit `SignalState<T>`
+- VexLens normalizes VEX but doesn't notify on updates
+- Graph has CVE nodes but no `ObservationState` or `UncertaintyScore`
+- Findings tracks verdicts but not determinization state
+
+Advisory requires:
+- Feedser attaches `SignalState<EpssEvidence>` with query status
+- VexLens emits `SignalUpdatedEvent` on VEX changes
+- Graph nodes carry `ObservationState`, `UncertaintyScore`, `GuardRails`
+- Findings persists observation lifecycle with state transitions
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+
+- **Depends on:** SPRINT_20260106_001_003_POLICY (gates and policies)
+- **Blocks:** SPRINT_20260106_001_005_FE (frontend)
+- **Parallel safe with:** Graph module internal changes; coordinate with Feedser/VexLens teams
+
+## Documentation Prerequisites
+
+- docs/modules/policy/determinization-architecture.md
+- SPRINT_20260106_001_003_POLICY (events and subscriptions)
+- src/Feedser/AGENTS.md
+- src/VexLens/AGENTS.md (if exists)
+- src/Graph/AGENTS.md
+- src/Findings/AGENTS.md

+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1. `EpssSignalAttacher` correctly wraps EPSS results in `SignalState<T>`
+2. VEX updates emit `SignalUpdatedEvent` for downstream processing
+3. Graph nodes persist `ObservationState` and `UncertaintyScore`
+4. Findings ledger tracks state transitions with audit trail
+5. `SignalSnapshotBuilder` fetches all signals in parallel
+6. Migration creates proper indexes for common queries
+7. All integration tests pass with Testcontainers
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+| Parallel signal fetch | Reduces latency; signals are independent |
+| Graph node hash ID | Deterministic; avoids UUID collision across systems |
+| JSONB for missing_signals | Flexible schema; supports varying signal sets |
+| Separate Graph and Findings storage | Graph for query patterns; Findings for audit trail |
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|
+| Signal provider availability | Graceful degradation to `SignalState.Failed` |
+| Event storm on bulk VEX import | Batch event emission; debounce handler |
+| Schema drift across modules | Shared Evidence models in Determinization library |

+# Sprint 20260106_001_005_FE - Determinization: Frontend UI Components
+
+## Topic & Scope
+
+Create Angular UI components for displaying and managing CVE observation state, uncertainty scores, guardrails status, and review workflows. This includes the "Unknown (auto-tracking)" chip with next review ETA and a determinization dashboard.
+
+- **Working directory:** `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/`
+- **Evidence:** Angular components, services, tests, Storybook stories
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+Current UI state:
+- Vulnerability findings show VEX status but not observation state
+- No visibility into uncertainty/entropy levels
+- No guardrails status indicator
+- No review workflow for uncertain observations
+
+Advisory requires:
+- UI chip: "Unknown (auto-tracking)" with next review ETA
+- Uncertainty tier visualization
+- Guardrails status and monitoring indicators
+- Review queue for pending observations
+- State transition history
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+
+- **Depends on:** SPRINT_20260106_001_004_BE (API endpoints)
+- **Blocks:** None (end of chain)
+- **Parallel safe:** Frontend-only changes
+
+## Documentation Prerequisites
+
+- docs/modules/policy/determinization-architecture.md
+- SPRINT_20260106_001_004_BE (API contracts)
+- src/Web/StellaOps.Web/AGENTS.md (if exists)
+- Existing: Vulnerability findings components
+

+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1. "Unknown (auto-tracking)" chip displays correctly with review ETA
+2. Uncertainty indicator shows tier and completeness percentage
+3. Guardrails badge shows active guardrail count and details
+4. Decay progress shows freshness and staleness warnings
+5. Review queue lists pending observations with sorting
+6. All components work in dark mode
+7. ARIA attributes present for accessibility
+8. Storybook stories document all component states
+9. Unit tests achieve 80%+ coverage
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+| Standalone components | Tree-shakeable; modern Angular pattern |
+| Material Design | Consistent with existing StellaOps UI |
+| date-fns for formatting | Lighter than moment; tree-shakeable |
+| Virtual scroll for queue | Performance with large observation counts |
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|
+| API contract drift | TypeScript interfaces from OpenAPI spec |
+| Performance with many observations | Pagination; virtual scroll; lazy loading |
+| Localization complexity | i18n from day one; extract all strings |

+# Sprint 20260106_001_005_UNKNOWNS - Provenance Hint Enhancement
+
+## Topic & Scope
+
+Extend the Unknowns module with structured provenance hints that help explain **why** something is unknown and provide hypotheses for resolution, following the advisory's requirement for "provenance hints like: Build-ID match, import table fingerprint, section layout deltas."
+
+- **Working directory:** `src/Unknowns/__Libraries/StellaOps.Unknowns.Core/`
+- **Evidence:** ProvenanceHint model, builders, integration with Unknown, tests
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+The product advisory requires:
+> **Unknown tagging with provenance hints:**
+> - ELF Build-ID / debuglink match; import table fingerprint; section layout deltas.
+> - Attach hypotheses like: "Binary matches distro build-ID, likely backport."
+
+Current state:
+- `Unknown` model has `Context` as flexible `JsonDocument`
+- No structured provenance hint types
+- No confidence scoring for hints
+- No hypothesis generation for resolution
+
+**Gap:** Unknown.Context lacks structured provenance-specific fields. No way to express "we don't know what this is, but here's evidence that might help identify it."
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+
+- **Depends on:** None (extends existing Unknowns module)
+- **Blocks:** SPRINT_20260106_001_004_LB (orchestrator uses provenance hints)
+- **Parallel safe:** Extends existing module; no conflicts
+
+## Documentation Prerequisites
+
+- docs/modules/unknowns/architecture.md
+- src/Unknowns/AGENTS.md
+- Existing Unknown model at `src/Unknowns/__Libraries/StellaOps.Unknowns.Core/Models/`

+3. **Hypothesis Generation:** Each hint produces a human-readable hypothesis
+4. **Suggested Actions:** Each hint includes prioritized resolution actions
+5. **Combination:** Multiple hints can be combined for best hypothesis
+6. **Persistence:** Hints are stored with unknowns in database
+7. **Test Coverage:** Unit tests for all builders, golden fixtures for serialization
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+| 15+ hint types | Covers common provenance evidence per advisory |
+| Content-addressed IDs | Enables deduplication of identical hints |
+| Confidence levels | Both numeric and categorical for different use cases |
+| Suggested actions | Actionable output for resolution workflow |
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|
+| Low-quality hints | Confidence thresholds; manual review for low confidence |
+| Hint explosion | Aggregate/dedupe hints by type |
+| Corpus dependency | Graceful degradation without corpus matches |

+# Sprint Series 20260106_003 - Verifiable Software Supply Chain Pipeline
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This sprint series completes the "quiet, verifiable software supply chain pipeline" as outlined in the product advisory. While StellaOps already implements ~85% of the advisory requirements, this series addresses the remaining gaps to deliver a fully integrated, production-ready pipeline from SBOMs to signed evidence bundles.
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+The product advisory outlines a complete software supply chain pipeline with:
+- Deterministic per-layer SBOMs with normalization
+- VEX-first gating to reduce noise before triage
+- DSSE/in-toto attestations for everything
+- Traceable event flow with breadcrumbs
+- Portable evidence bundles for audits
+
+**Current State Analysis:**
+
+| Capability | Status | Gap |
+|------------|--------|-----|
+| Deterministic SBOMs | 95% | Per-layer files not exposed, Composition Recipe API missing |
+| VEX-first gating | 75% | No explicit "gate" service that blocks/warns before triage |
+| DSSE attestations | 90% | Per-layer attestations missing, cross-attestation linking missing |
+| Evidence bundles | 85% | No standardized export format with verify commands |
+| Event flow | 90% | Router idempotency enforcement not formalized |
+

+
+## Key Deliverables
+
+### Sprint 003_001: Per-layer SBOM & Composition Recipe API
+- Per-layer CycloneDX/SPDX files stored separately in CAS
+- `GET /scans/{id}/layers/{digest}/sbom` API endpoint
+- `GET /scans/{id}/composition-recipe` API endpoint
+- Deterministic layer ordering with Merkle root in recipe
+- CLI: `stella scan sbom --layer <digest> --format cdx|spdx`
+
+### Sprint 003_002: VEX Gate Service
+- `IVexGateService` interface with gate decisions: `PASS`, `WARN`, `BLOCK`
+- Pre-triage filtering that reduces noise
+- Evidence tracking for each gate decision
+- Integration with Excititor VEX observations
+- Configurable gate policies (exploitable+reachable+no-control = BLOCK)
+
+### Sprint 003_003: Evidence Bundle Export
+- Standardized export format: `evidence-bundle-<id>.tar.gz`
+- Contents: SBOMs, VEX statements, attestations, public keys, README
+- `verify.sh` script embedded in bundle
+- `stella evidence export --bundle <id> --output ./audit-bundle.tar.gz`
+- Offline verification support
+
+### Sprint 003_004: Cross-Attestation Linking
+- SBOM attestation links to VEX attestation via subject reference
+- Policy verdict attestation links to both
+- Per-layer attestations with layer-specific subjects
+- `GET /attestations?artifact=<digest>&chain=true` for full chain retrieval
+
+## Acceptance Criteria (Series)
+
+1. **Determinism**: Same inputs produce identical SBOMs, recipes, and attestation hashes
+2. **Traceability**: Any artifact can be traced through the full pipeline via digest
+3. **Verifiability**: Evidence bundles can be verified offline without network access
+4. **Completeness**: All artifacts (SBOMs, VEX, verdicts, attestations) are included in bundles
+5. **Integration**: VEX gate reduces triage noise by at least 50% (measured via test corpus)
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+| Risk | Impact | Mitigation |
+|------|--------|------------|
+| Per-layer SBOMs increase storage | Medium | Content-addressable deduplication, TTL for stale layers |
+| VEX gate false positives | High | Conservative defaults, policy override mechanism |
+| Cross-attestation circular deps | Low | DAG validation at creation time |
+| Export bundle size | Medium | Compression, selective export by date range |
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+- **Unit tests**: Each service with determinism verification
+- **Integration tests**: Full pipeline from scan to export
+- **Replay tests**: Identical inputs produce identical outputs
+- **Corpus tests**: Advisory test corpus for VEX gate accuracy
+- **E2E tests**: Air-gapped verification of exported bundles
+
+## Documentation Updates Required
+
+- `docs/modules/scanner/architecture.md` - Per-layer SBOM section
+- `docs/modules/evidence-locker/architecture.md` - Export bundle format
+- `docs/modules/attestor/architecture.md` - Cross-attestation linking
+- `docs/API_CLI_REFERENCE.md` - New endpoints and commands
+- `docs/OFFLINE_KIT.md` - Evidence bundle verification
+
+## Related Work
+
+- SPRINT_20260105_002_* (HLC) - Required for timestamp ordering in attestation chains
+- SPRINT_20251229_001_002_BE_vex_delta - VEX delta foundation
+- Epic 10 (Export Center) - Bundle export workflows
+- Epic 19 (Attestor Console) - Attestation verification UI
+
+## Execution Notes
+
+- All changes must maintain backward compatibility
+- Feature flags for gradual rollout recommended
+- Cross-module changes require coordinated deployment
+- CLI commands should support both new and legacy formats during transition

+| Blocking | 003_002, 003_003, 003_004 |
+
+## Objective
+
+Expose per-layer SBOMs as first-class artifacts and add a Composition Recipe API that enables downstream verification of SBOM determinism. This completes Step 1 of the product advisory: "Deterministic SBOMs (per layer, per build)".
+
+## Context
+
+**Current State:**
+- `LayerComponentFragment` model tracks components per layer internally
+- SBOM composition aggregates fragments into single image-level SBOM
+- Composition recipe stored in CAS but not exposed via API
+- No mechanism to retrieve SBOM for a specific layer
+
+**Target State:**
+- Per-layer SBOMs stored as individual CAS artifacts
+- API endpoints to retrieve layer-specific SBOMs
+- Composition Recipe API for determinism verification
+- CLI support for per-layer SBOM export
+

+
+# Get composition recipe
+stella scan recipe <scan-id> --output recipe.json
+
+# Verify composition recipe against stored SBOMs
+stella scan recipe <scan-id> --verify
+```
+
+## Storage Schema
+
+Per-layer SBOMs stored in CAS with paths:
+```
+/evidence/sboms/<image-digest>/layers/<layer-digest>.cdx.json
+/evidence/sboms/<image-digest>/layers/<layer-digest>.spdx.json
+/evidence/sboms/<image-digest>/recipe.json
+```
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1. **Determinism**: Same image scan produces identical per-layer SBOMs
+2. **Completeness**: Every layer in the image has a corresponding SBOM
+3. **Verifiability**: Composition recipe Merkle root matches layer SBOM digests
+4. **Performance**: Per-layer SBOM retrieval < 100ms (cached)
+5. **Backward Compatibility**: Existing SBOM APIs continue to work unchanged
+
+## Test Cases
+
+### Unit Tests
+- `LayerSbomWriter` produces deterministic output for identical fragments
+- Composition recipe Merkle root computation is RFC 6962 compliant
+- Layer ordering is stable (sorted by layer order, not discovery order)
+
+### Integration Tests
+- Full scan produces per-layer SBOMs stored in CAS
+- API returns correct layer SBOM by digest
+- Recipe verification passes for valid scans
+- Recipe verification fails for tampered SBOMs
+
+### Determinism Tests
+- Two scans of identical images produce identical per-layer SBOM digests
+- Composition recipe is identical across runs
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+| Store per-layer SBOMs in CAS | Content-addressable deduplication handles shared layers |
+| Use layer digest as key | Deterministic, unique per layer content |
+| Include both CDX and SPDX per layer | Supports customer format preferences |
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|
+| Storage growth with many layers | TTL-based cleanup for orphaned layer SBOMs |
+| Cache invalidation complexity | Layer SBOMs are immutable once created |

+```
+
+## Performance Targets
+
+| Metric | Target |
+|--------|--------|
+| Gate evaluation throughput | >= 1000 findings/sec |
+| VEX lookup latency (cached) | < 5ms |
+| VEX lookup latency (uncached) | < 50ms |
+| Memory overhead per scan | < 10MB for gate state |
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1. **Noise Reduction**: Gate reduces triage queue by >= 50% on test corpus
+2. **Accuracy**: False positive rate < 1% (findings incorrectly passed)
+3. **Performance**: Gate evaluation < 1s for typical scan (100 findings)
+4. **Traceability**: Every gate decision has auditable evidence
+5. **Configurability**: Policy rules can be customized per tenant
+
+## Test Cases
+
+### Unit Tests
+- Policy rule matching logic for all conditions
+- Default policy produces expected decisions
+- Evidence is correctly captured from VEX statements
+
+### Integration Tests
+- Gate service queries Excititor correctly
+- Scan pipeline applies gate decisions
+- Gate results appear in API response
+
+### Corpus Tests (test data from `src/__Tests/__Datasets/`)
+- Known "not affected" CVEs are passed
+- Known exploitable+reachable CVEs are blocked
+- Ambiguous cases are warned
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+| Gate after findings, before triage | Allows full finding context for decision |
+| Default to Warn not Block | Conservative to avoid blocking legitimate alerts |
+| Cache VEX lookups with short TTL | Balance freshness vs performance |
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|
+| VEX data stale at gate time | TTL-based cache invalidation, async refresh |
+| Policy misconfiguration | Policy validation at startup, audit logging |
+| Gate becomes bottleneck | Parallel evaluation, batch VEX lookups |

+- Bundles contain SBOM, scan results, policy verdicts, attestations
+- No standardized export format for external auditors
+- No embedded verification commands
+
+**Target State:**
+- Standardized `evidence-bundle-<id>.tar.gz` export format
+- Embedded `verify.sh` and `verify.ps1` scripts
+- README with verification instructions
+- Public keys bundled for offline verification
+- CLI command for export

+```
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1. **Completeness**: Bundle includes all specified artifacts (SBOMs, VEX, attestations, keys)
+2. **Verifiability**: `verify.sh` and `verify.ps1` run successfully on valid bundles
+3. **Offline Support**: Verification works without network access (except Rekor)
+4. **Determinism**: Same bundle exported twice produces identical tar.gz
+5. **Documentation**: README explains verification steps for non-technical auditors
+
+## Test Cases
+
+### Unit Tests
+- Manifest serialization is deterministic
+- Merkle root computation matches expected
+- Checksum file format is correct
+
+### Integration Tests
+- Export service collects all artifacts from CAS
+- Generated verify.sh runs correctly on Linux
+- Generated verify.ps1 runs correctly on Windows
+- Large bundles (>100MB) export without OOM
+
+### E2E Tests
+- Full flow: scan -> seal -> export -> verify
+- Exported bundle verifies in air-gapped environment
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+| tar.gz format | Universal, works on all platforms |
+| Embedded verify scripts | No external dependencies for basic verification |
+| Include public keys in bundle | Enables offline verification |
+| NDJSON for audit timeline | Streaming-friendly, easy to parse |
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|
+| Bundle size too large | Compression, optional layer SBOMs |
+| Script compatibility issues | Test on multiple OS versions |
+| Key rotation during export | Include all valid keys, document rotation |

+## Sprint Metadata
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| Sprint ID | 20260106_003_004 |
+| Module | ATTESTOR |
+| Title | Cross-Attestation Linking & Per-Layer Attestations |
+| Working Directory | `src/Attestor/` |
+| Dependencies | SPRINT_20260106_003_001, SPRINT_20260106_003_002 |
+| Blocking | None |
+
+## Objective
+
+Implement cross-attestation linking (SBOM -> VEX -> Policy chain) and per-layer attestations to complete the attestation chain model specified in Step 3 of the product advisory: "Sign everything (portable, verifiable evidence)".
+
+## Context
+
+**Current State:**
+- Attestor creates DSSE envelopes for SBOMs, VEX, scan results, policy verdicts
+- Each attestation is independent with subject pointing to artifact digest
+- No explicit chain linking between attestations
+- Single attestation per image (no per-layer)
+
+**Target State:**
+- Cross-attestation linking via in-toto layout references
+- Per-layer attestations with layer-specific subjects
+- Query API for attestation chains
+- Full provenance chain from source to final verdict
+

+## CLI Commands
+
+```bash
+# Get attestation chain for an artifact
+stella attest chain sha256:imageabc...
+
+# Get chain as graph
+stella attest chain sha256:imageabc... --format mermaid
+
+# List layer attestations for a scan
+stella attest layers <scan-id>
+
+# Verify complete chain
+stella attest verify-chain sha256:imageabc...
+```
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1. **Chain Completeness**: Policy attestation links to all upstream attestations
+2. **Per-Layer Coverage**: Every layer has its own attestation
+3. **Queryability**: Full chain retrievable from any node
+4. **Validation**: Circular references rejected at creation
+5. **Performance**: Chain resolution < 100ms for typical depth (5 levels)
+
+## Test Cases
+
+### Unit Tests
+- Chain builder creates correct DAG structure
+- Link validator detects circular references
+- Chain traversal respects depth limits
+
+### Integration Tests
+- Full scan produces complete attestation chain
+- Chain query returns all linked attestations
+- Per-layer attestations stored correctly
+
+### E2E Tests
+- End-to-end: scan -> gate -> attestation chain -> export
+- Chain verification in exported bundle
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+| Store links in separate table | Efficient traversal, no attestation mutation |
+| Use DAG not tree | Allows multiple parents (SBOM used by VEX and Policy) |
+| Batch layer attestations | Performance: one signing operation for all layers |
+| Materials field for links | in-toto standard compliance |
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|
+| Chain resolution performance | Depth limit, caching, indexed traversal |
+| Circular reference bugs | Validation at insertion, periodic audit |
+| Orphaned attestations | Cleanup job for unlinked entries |

+## Sprint Metadata
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| Sprint ID | 20260106_004_001 |
+| Module | FE (Frontend) |
+| Title | Quiet-by-Default Triage UX Integration |
+| Working Directory | `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/` |
+| Dependencies | None (backend APIs complete) |
+| Blocking | None |
+| Advisory | `docs-archived/product-advisories/06-Jan-2026 - Quiet-by-Default Triage with Attested Exceptions.md` |
+
+## Objective
+
+Integrate the existing quiet-by-default triage backend APIs into the Angular 17 frontend. The backend infrastructure is complete; this sprint delivers the UX layer that enables users to experience "inbox shows only actionables" with one-click access to the Review lane and evidence export.
+
+## Context
+
+**Current State:**
+- Backend APIs fully implemented:
+  - `GatingReasonService` computes gating status
+  - `GatingContracts.cs` defines DTOs (`FindingGatingStatusDto`, `GatedBucketsSummaryDto`)
+  - `ApprovalEndpoints` provides CRUD for approvals
+  - `TriageStatusEndpoints` serves lane/verdict data
+  - `EvidenceLocker` provides bundle export
+- Frontend has existing findings table but lacks:
+  - Quiet/Review lane toggle
+  - Gated bucket summary chips
+  - Breadcrumb navigation
+  - Approval workflow modal
+
+**Target State:**
+- Default view shows only actionable findings (Quiet lane)
+- Banner displays gated bucket counts with one-click filters
+- Breadcrumb bar enables image->layer->package->symbol->call-path navigation
+- Decision drawer supports mute/ack/exception with signing
+- One-click evidence bundle export
+

+
+```typescript
+@Component({
+  selector: 'stella-triage-lane-toggle',
+  template: `
+    <div class="lane-toggle">
+      <button [class.active]="lane === 'quiet'" (click)="setLane('quiet')">
+        Actionable ({{ visibleCount }})
+      </button>
+      <button [class.active]="lane === 'review'" (click)="setLane('review')">

+      </span>
+      <span class="chip" *ngIf="buckets.vexNotAffectedCount" (click)="filterBy('VexNotAffected')">

+      <!-- ... other buckets -->
+    </div>
+  `
+})
+export class GatedBucketChipsComponent {
+  @Input() buckets!: GatedBucketsSummaryDto;
+  @Output() filterChange = new EventEmitter<GatingReason>();
+}
+```
+
+### ProvenanceBreadcrumb
+
+```typescript
+@Component({
+  selector: 'stella-provenance-breadcrumb',
+  template: `
+    <nav class="breadcrumb-bar">
+      <a (click)="navigateTo('image')">{{ imageRef }}</a>
+      <span class="separator">></span>
+      <a (click)="navigateTo('layer')">{{ layerDigest | truncate:12 }}</a>
+      <span class="separator">></span>

+    </nav>
+  `
+})
+export class ProvenanceBreadcrumbComponent {
+  @Input() finding!: FindingWithProvenance;
+  @Output() navigation = new EventEmitter<BreadcrumbNavigation>();
+}
+```
+
+## Data Flow
+
+```
+FindingsPage
+  ├── TriageLaneToggle (quiet/review selection)
+  │     └── emits laneChange → updates query params
+  ├── GatedBucketChips (bucket counts)
+  │     └── emits filterChange → adds gating reason filter
+  ├── FindingsTable (filtered list)
+  │     └── rows show gating badge when applicable
+  └── FindingDetailPanel (selected finding)
+        ├── VerdictBanner (SHIP/BLOCK/NEEDS_EXCEPTION)
+        ├── StatusChips (reachability, VEX, exploit, gate)
+        │     └── click → opens evidence panel
+        ├── ProvenanceBreadcrumb (image→call-path)
+        │     └── click → navigates to hop detail
+        ├── EvidenceRail (artifacts list)
+        │     └── ExportEvidenceButton
+        └── ActionsFooter
+              └── DecisionDrawer (mute/ack/exception)
+```
+
+## Styling Requirements
+
+Per `docs/ux/TRIAGE_UX_GUIDE.md`:
+
+- Status conveyed by text + shape (not color only)
+- High contrast mode supported
+- Keyboard navigation for table rows, chips, evidence list
+- Copy-to-clipboard for digests, PURLs, CVE IDs
+- Virtual scroll for findings table
+
+## Telemetry (Required Instrumentation)
+
+| Metric | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `triage.ttfs` | Time from notification click to verdict banner rendered |
+| `triage.time_to_proof` | Time from chip click to proof preview shown |
+| `triage.mute_reversal_rate` | % of auto-muted findings that become actionable |
+| `triage.bundle_export_latency` | Evidence bundle export time |
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1. **Default Quiet**: Findings list shows only non-gated (actionable) findings by default
+2. **One-Click Review**: Single click toggles to Review lane showing all gated findings
+3. **Bucket Visibility**: Gated bucket counts always visible, clickable to filter
+4. **Breadcrumb Navigation**: Click-through from image to call-path works end-to-end
+5. **Decision Persistence**: Mute/ack/exception decisions persist and show undo toast
+6. **Evidence Export**: Bundle downloads within 5 seconds for typical findings
+7. **Accessibility**: Keyboard navigation and high-contrast mode functional
+8. **Performance**: Findings list renders in <2s for 1000 findings (virtual scroll)
+
+## Test Cases
+
+### Unit Tests
+- Lane toggle emits correct events
+- Bucket chips render correct counts
+- Breadcrumb renders all path segments
+- Decision drawer validates required fields
+- Export button shows progress state
+
+### Integration Tests
+- Lane toggle filters API calls correctly
+- Bucket click applies gating reason filter
+- Decision submission calls approval API
+- Export triggers bundle download
+
+### E2E Tests
+- Full workflow: view findings -> toggle lane -> select finding -> view breadcrumb -> export evidence
+- Approval workflow: select finding -> open drawer -> submit decision -> verify toast -> verify persistence
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+| Default to Quiet lane | Reduces noise per advisory; Review always one click away |
+| Breadcrumb as separate component | Reusable across finding detail and evidence views |
+| Virtual scroll for table | Performance requirement for large finding sets |
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|
+| API latency for gated buckets | Cache bucket summary, refresh on lane toggle |
+| Complex breadcrumb state | Use route params for deep-linking support |
+| Bundle export timeout | Async job with polling, show progress |

-#### 2.2.5 Binary Vulnerability Service
+#### 2.2.5 Semantic Analysis Library
+
+> **Library:** `StellaOps.BinaryIndex.Semantic`
+> **Sprint:** 20260105_001_001_BINDEX - Semantic Diffing Phase 1
+
+The Semantic Analysis Library extends fingerprint generation with IR-level semantic matching, enabling detection of semantically equivalent code despite compiler optimizations, instruction reordering, and register allocation differences.
+
+**Key Insight:** Traditional instruction-level fingerprinting loses accuracy on optimized binaries by ~15-20%. Semantic analysis lifts to B2R2's Intermediate Representation (LowUIR), extracts key-semantics graphs, and uses graph hashing for similarity computation.
+
+##### 2.2.5.1 Architecture
+
+```
+Binary Input
+    │
+    v
+B2R2 Disassembly → Raw Instructions
+    │
+    v
+IR Lifting Service → LowUIR Statements
+    │
+    v
+Semantic Graph Extractor → Key-Semantics Graph (KSG)
+    │
+    v
+Graph Fingerprinting → Semantic Fingerprint
+    │
+    v
+Semantic Matcher → Similarity Score + Deltas
+```
+
+##### 2.2.5.2 Core Components
+
+**IR Lifting Service** (`IIrLiftingService`)
+
+Lifts disassembled instructions to B2R2 LowUIR:
+
+```csharp
+public interface IIrLiftingService
+{
+    Task<LiftedFunction> LiftToIrAsync(
+        IReadOnlyList<DisassembledInstruction> instructions,
+        string functionName,
+        LiftOptions? options = null,
+        CancellationToken ct = default);
+}
+
+public sealed record LiftedFunction(
+    string Name,
+    ImmutableArray<IrStatement> Statements,
+    ImmutableArray<IrBasicBlock> BasicBlocks);
+```
+
+**Semantic Graph Extractor** (`ISemanticGraphExtractor`)
+
+Extracts key-semantics graphs capturing data dependencies, control flow, and memory operations:
+
+```csharp
+public interface ISemanticGraphExtractor
+{
+    Task<KeySemanticsGraph> ExtractGraphAsync(
+        LiftedFunction function,
+        GraphExtractionOptions? options = null,
+        CancellationToken ct = default);
+}
+
+public sealed record KeySemanticsGraph(
+    string FunctionName,
+    ImmutableArray<SemanticNode> Nodes,
+    ImmutableArray<SemanticEdge> Edges,
+    GraphProperties Properties);
+
+public enum SemanticNodeType { Compute, Load, Store, Branch, Call, Return, Phi }
+public enum SemanticEdgeType { DataDependency, ControlDependency, MemoryDependency }
+```
+
+**Semantic Fingerprint Generator** (`ISemanticFingerprintGenerator`)
+
+Generates semantic fingerprints using Weisfeiler-Lehman graph hashing:
+
+```csharp
+public interface ISemanticFingerprintGenerator
+{
+    Task<SemanticFingerprint> GenerateAsync(
+        KeySemanticsGraph graph,
+        SemanticFingerprintOptions? options = null,
+        CancellationToken ct = default);
+}
+
+public sealed record SemanticFingerprint(
+    string FunctionName,
+    string GraphHashHex,      // WL graph hash (SHA-256)
+    string OperationHashHex,  // Normalized operation sequence hash
+    string DataFlowHashHex,   // Data dependency pattern hash
+    int NodeCount,
+    int EdgeCount,
+    int CyclomaticComplexity,
+    ImmutableArray<string> ApiCalls,
+    SemanticFingerprintAlgorithm Algorithm);
+```
+
+**Semantic Matcher** (`ISemanticMatcher`)
+
+Computes semantic similarity with weighted components:
+
+```csharp
+public interface ISemanticMatcher
+{
+    Task<SemanticMatchResult> MatchAsync(
+        SemanticFingerprint a,
+        SemanticFingerprint b,
+        MatchOptions? options = null,
+        CancellationToken ct = default);
+
+    Task<SemanticMatchResult> MatchWithDeltasAsync(
+        SemanticFingerprint a,
+        SemanticFingerprint b,
+        MatchOptions? options = null,
+        CancellationToken ct = default);
+}
+
+public sealed record SemanticMatchResult(
+    decimal Similarity,       // 0.00-1.00
+    decimal GraphSimilarity,
+    decimal OperationSimilarity,
+    decimal DataFlowSimilarity,
+    decimal ApiCallSimilarity,
+    MatchConfidence Confidence);
+```
+
+##### 2.2.5.3 Algorithm Details
+
+**Weisfeiler-Lehman Graph Hashing:**
+- 3 iterations of label propagation
+- SHA-256 for final hash computation
+- Deterministic node ordering via canonical sort
+
+**Similarity Weights (Default):**
+| Component | Weight |
+|-----------|--------|
+| Graph Hash | 0.35 |
+| Operation Hash | 0.25 |
+| Data Flow Hash | 0.25 |
+| API Calls | 0.15 |
+
+##### 2.2.5.4 Integration Points
+
+The semantic library integrates with existing BinaryIndex components:
+
+**DeltaSignatureGenerator Extension:**
+```csharp
+// Optional semantic services via constructor injection
+services.AddDeltaSignaturesWithSemantic();
+
+// Extended SymbolSignature with semantic properties
+public sealed record SymbolSignature
+{
+    // ... existing properties ...
+    public string? SemanticHashHex { get; init; }
+    public ImmutableArray<string> SemanticApiCalls { get; init; }
+}
+```
+
+**PatchDiffEngine Extension:**
+```csharp
+// SemanticWeight in HashWeights
+public decimal SemanticWeight { get; init; } = 0.2m;
+
+// FunctionFingerprint extended with semantic fingerprint
+public SemanticFingerprint? SemanticFingerprint { get; init; }
+```
+
+##### 2.2.5.5 Test Coverage
+
+| Category | Tests | Coverage |
+|----------|-------|----------|
+| Unit Tests (IR lifting, graph extraction, hashing) | 53 | Core algorithms |
+| Integration Tests (full pipeline) | 9 | End-to-end flow |
+| Golden Corpus (compiler variations) | 11 | Register allocation, optimization, compiler variants |
+| Benchmarks (accuracy, performance) | 7 | Baseline metrics |
+
+##### 2.2.5.6 Current Baselines
+
+> **Note:** Baselines reflect foundational implementation; accuracy improves as semantic features mature.
+
+| Metric | Baseline | Target |
+|--------|----------|--------|
+| Similarity (register allocation variants) | ≥0.55 | ≥0.85 |
+| Overall accuracy | ≥40% | ≥70% |
+| False positive rate | <10% | <5% |
+| P95 fingerprint latency | <100ms | <50ms |

+# BSim PostgreSQL Database Setup Guide
+
+**Version:** 1.0
+**Sprint:** SPRINT_20260105_001_003_BINDEX
+**Task:** GHID-011
+
+## Overview
+
+Ghidra's BSim (Binary Similarity) feature requires a separate PostgreSQL database for storing and querying function signatures. This guide covers setup and configuration.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│              StellaOps BinaryIndex                   │
+├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  Main Corpus DB          │  BSim DB (Ghidra)        │
+│  (corpus.* schema)       │  (separate instance)     │
+│                          │                          │
+│  - Function metadata     │  - BSim signatures       │
+│  - Fingerprints          │  - Feature vectors       │
+│  - Clusters              │  - Similarity index      │
+│  - CVE associations      │                          │
+└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Why Separate?**
+- BSim uses Ghidra-specific schema and stored procedures
+- Different access patterns (corpus: OLTP, BSim: analytical)
+- BSim database can be shared across multiple Ghidra instances
+- Isolation prevents schema conflicts
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- PostgreSQL 14+ (BSim requires specific PostgreSQL features)
+- Ghidra 11.x with BSim extension
+- Network connectivity between BinaryIndex services and BSim database
+- At least 10GB storage for initial database (scales with corpus size)
+
+## Database Setup
+
+### 1. Create BSim Database
+
+```bash
+# Create database
+createdb bsim_corpus
+
+# Create user
+psql -c "CREATE USER bsim_user WITH PASSWORD 'secure_password_here';"
+psql -c "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE bsim_corpus TO bsim_user;"
+```
+
+### 2. Initialize BSim Schema
+
+Ghidra provides scripts to initialize the BSim database schema:
+
+```bash
+# Set Ghidra home
+export GHIDRA_HOME=/opt/ghidra
+
+# Run BSim database initialization
+$GHIDRA_HOME/Ghidra/Features/BSim/data/postgresql_init.sh \
+    --host localhost \
+    --port 5432 \
+    --database bsim_corpus \
+    --user bsim_user \
+    --password secure_password_here
+```
+
+Alternatively, use Ghidra's BSim server setup:
+
+```bash
+# Create BSim server configuration
+$GHIDRA_HOME/support/bsimServerSetup \
+    postgresql://localhost:5432/bsim_corpus \
+    --user bsim_user \
+    --password secure_password_here
+```
+
+### 3. Verify Installation
+
+```bash
+# Connect to database
+psql -h localhost -U bsim_user -d bsim_corpus
+
+# Check BSim tables exist
+\dt
+
+# Expected tables:
+# - bsim_functions
+# - bsim_executables
+# - bsim_vectors
+# - bsim_clusters
+# etc.
+
+# Exit
+\q
+```

+
+### Initialization Script
+
+Create `scripts/init-bsim.sh`:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+set -e
+
+# Wait for PostgreSQL to be ready
+until pg_isready -U "$POSTGRES_USER" -d "$POSTGRES_DB"; do
+  echo "Waiting for PostgreSQL..."
+  sleep 2
+done
+
+echo "PostgreSQL is ready. Installing BSim schema..."
+
+# Note: Actual BSim schema SQL would be sourced from Ghidra distribution
+# This is a placeholder - replace with actual Ghidra BSim schema
+psql -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1 --username "$POSTGRES_USER" --dbname "$POSTGRES_DB" <<-EOSQL
+    -- BSim schema will be initialized by Ghidra tools
+    -- This script just ensures the database is ready
+
+    COMMENT ON DATABASE bsim_corpus IS 'Ghidra BSim function signature database';
+EOSQL
+
+echo "BSim database initialized successfully"
+```
+
+### Start Services
+
+```bash
+# Set password
+export BSIM_DB_PASSWORD="your_secure_password"
+
+# Start services
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.bsim.yml up -d
+
+# Check logs
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.bsim.yml logs -f ghidra-headless
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### BinaryIndex Configuration
+
+Configure BSim connection in `appsettings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "BinaryIndex": {
+    "Ghidra": {
+      "Enabled": true,
+      "GhidraHome": "/opt/ghidra",
+      "BSim": {
+        "Enabled": true,
+        "ConnectionString": "Host=localhost;Port=5433;Database=bsim_corpus;Username=bsim_user;Password=...",
+        "MinSimilarity": 0.7,
+        "MaxResults": 10
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+# BSim database connection
+export STELLAOPS_BSIM_CONNECTION="Host=localhost;Port=5433;Database=bsim_corpus;Username=bsim_user;Password=..."
+
+# BSim feature
+export STELLAOPS_BSIM_ENABLED=true
+
+# Query tuning
+export STELLAOPS_BSIM_MIN_SIMILARITY=0.7
+export STELLAOPS_BSIM_QUERY_TIMEOUT=30
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Ingesting Functions into BSim
+
+```csharp
+using StellaOps.BinaryIndex.Ghidra;
+
+var bsimService = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IBSimService>();
+
+// Analyze binary with Ghidra
+var ghidraService = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IGhidraService>();
+var analysis = await ghidraService.AnalyzeAsync(binaryStream, ct: ct);
+
+// Generate BSim signatures
+var signatures = await bsimService.GenerateSignaturesAsync(analysis, ct: ct);
+
+// Ingest into BSim database
+await bsimService.IngestAsync("glibc", "2.31", signatures, ct);
+```
+
+### Querying BSim
+
+```csharp
+// Query for similar functions
+var queryOptions = new BSimQueryOptions
+{
+    MinSimilarity = 0.7,
+    MinSignificance = 0.5,
+    MaxResults = 10
+};
+
+var matches = await bsimService.QueryAsync(signature, queryOptions, ct);
+
+foreach (var match in matches)
+{
+    Console.WriteLine($"Match: {match.MatchedLibrary} {match.MatchedVersion} - {match.MatchedFunction}");
+    Console.WriteLine($"Similarity: {match.Similarity:P2}, Confidence: {match.Confidence:P2}");
+}
+```
+
+## Maintenance
+
+### Database Vacuum
+
+```bash
+# Regular vacuum (run weekly)
+psql -h localhost -U bsim_user -d bsim_corpus -c "VACUUM ANALYZE;"
+
+# Full vacuum (run monthly)
+psql -h localhost -U bsim_user -d bsim_corpus -c "VACUUM FULL;"
+```
+
+### Backup and Restore
+
+```bash
+# Backup
+pg_dump -h localhost -U bsim_user -d bsim_corpus -F c -f bsim_backup_$(date +%Y%m%d).dump
+
+# Restore
+pg_restore -h localhost -U bsim_user -d bsim_corpus -c bsim_backup_20260105.dump
+```
+
+### Monitoring
+
+```sql
+-- Check database size
+SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_database_size('bsim_corpus'));
+
+-- Check signature count
+SELECT COUNT(*) FROM bsim_functions;
+
+-- Check recent ingest activity
+SELECT * FROM bsim_ingest_log ORDER BY ingested_at DESC LIMIT 10;
+```
+
+## Performance Tuning
+
+### PostgreSQL Configuration
+
+Add to `postgresql.conf`:
+
+```ini
+# Memory settings for BSim workload
+shared_buffers = 4GB
+effective_cache_size = 12GB
+work_mem = 256MB
+maintenance_work_mem = 1GB
+
+# Query parallelism
+max_parallel_workers_per_gather = 4
+max_parallel_workers = 8
+
+# Indexes
+random_page_cost = 1.1  # For SSD storage
+```
+
+### Indexing Strategy
+
+BSim automatically creates required indexes. Monitor slow queries:
+
+```sql
+-- Enable query logging
+ALTER SYSTEM SET log_min_duration_statement = 1000; -- Log queries > 1s
+SELECT pg_reload_conf();
+
+-- Check slow queries
+SELECT query, mean_exec_time, calls
+FROM pg_stat_statements
+WHERE query LIKE '%bsim%'
+ORDER BY mean_exec_time DESC
+LIMIT 10;
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Connection Refused
+
+```
+Error: could not connect to server: Connection refused
+```
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Verify PostgreSQL is running: `systemctl status postgresql`
+2. Check port: `netstat -an | grep 5433`
+3. Verify firewall rules
+4. Check `pg_hba.conf` for access rules
+
+### Schema Not Found
+
+```
+Error: relation "bsim_functions" does not exist
+```
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Re-run BSim schema initialization
+2. Verify Ghidra version compatibility
+3. Check BSim extension is installed in Ghidra
+
+### Poor Query Performance
+
+```
+Warning: BSim queries taking > 5s
+```
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Run `VACUUM ANALYZE` on BSim tables
+2. Increase `work_mem` for complex queries
+3. Check index usage: `EXPLAIN ANALYZE` on slow queries
+4. Consider partitioning large tables
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **Network Access:** BSim database should only be accessible from BinaryIndex services and Ghidra instances
+2. **Authentication:** Use strong passwords, consider certificate-based authentication
+3. **Encryption:** Enable SSL/TLS for database connections in production
+4. **Access Control:** Grant minimum necessary privileges
+
+```sql
+-- Create read-only user for query services
+CREATE USER bsim_readonly WITH PASSWORD '...';
+GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE bsim_corpus TO bsim_readonly;
+GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO bsim_readonly;
+```
+
+## Integration with Corpus
+
+The BSim database complements the main corpus database:
+
+- **Corpus DB:** Stores function metadata, fingerprints, CVE associations
+- **BSim DB:** Stores Ghidra-specific behavioral signatures and feature vectors
+
+Functions are cross-referenced by:
+- Library name + version
+- Function name
+- Binary hash
+
+## Status: GHID-011 Resolution
+
+**Implementation Status:** Service code complete (`BSimService.cs` implemented)
+
+**Database Status:** Schema initialization documented, awaiting infrastructure provisioning
+
+**Blocker Resolution:** This guide provides complete setup instructions. Database can be provisioned by:
+1. Operations team following Docker Compose setup above
+2. Developers using local PostgreSQL with manual schema init
+3. CI/CD using containerized BSim database for integration tests
+
+**Next Steps:**
+1. Provision BSim PostgreSQL instance (dev/staging/prod)
+2. Run BSim schema initialization
+3. Test BSimService connectivity
+4. Ingest initial corpus into BSim

+# Corpus Ingestion Operations Guide
+
+**Version:** 1.0
+**Sprint:** SPRINT_20260105_001_002_BINDEX
+**Status:** Implementation Complete - Operational Execution Pending
+
+## Overview
+
+This guide describes how to execute corpus ingestion operations to populate the function behavior corpus with fingerprints from known library functions.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- StellaOps.BinaryIndex.Corpus library built and deployed
+- PostgreSQL database with corpus schema (see `docs/db/schemas/corpus.sql`)
+- Network access to package mirrors (or local package cache)
+- Sufficient disk space (~100GB for full corpus)
+- Required tools:
+  - .NET 10 runtime
+  - HTTP client access to package repositories
+
+## Implementation Status
+
+**CORP-015, CORP-016, CORP-017: Implementation COMPLETE**
+
+All corpus connector implementations are complete and build successfully:
+- ✓ GlibcCorpusConnector (GNU C Library)
+- ✓ OpenSslCorpusConnector (OpenSSL)
+- ✓ ZlibCorpusConnector (zlib)
+- ✓ CurlCorpusConnector (libcurl)
+
+**Status:** Code implementation is done. These tasks require **operational execution** to download and ingest real package data.
+
+## Running Corpus Ingestion
+
+### 1. Configure Package Sources
+
+Set up access to package mirrors in your configuration:
+
+```yaml
+# config/corpus-ingestion.yaml
+packageSources:
+  debian:
+    mirrorUrl: "http://deb.debian.org/debian"
+    distributions: ["bullseye", "bookworm"]
+    components: ["main"]
+
+  ubuntu:
+    mirrorUrl: "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu"
+    distributions: ["focal", "jammy"]
+
+  alpine:
+    mirrorUrl: "https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine"
+    versions: ["v3.18", "v3.19"]
+```
+
+### 2. Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+# Database connection
+export STELLAOPS_CORPUS_DB="Host=localhost;Database=stellaops;Username=corpus_user;Password=..."
+
+# Package cache directory (optional)
+export STELLAOPS_PACKAGE_CACHE="/var/cache/stellaops/packages"
+
+# Concurrent workers
+export STELLAOPS_INGESTION_WORKERS=4
+```
+
+### 3. Execute Ingestion (CLI)
+
+```bash
+# Ingest specific library version
+stellaops corpus ingest --library glibc --version 2.31 --architectures x86_64,aarch64
+
+# Ingest version range
+stellaops corpus ingest --library openssl --version-range "1.1.0..1.1.1" --architectures x86_64
+
+# Ingest from local binary
+stellaops corpus ingest-binary --library glibc --version 2.31 --arch x86_64 --path /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
+
+# Full ingestion job (all configured libraries)
+stellaops corpus ingest-full --config config/corpus-ingestion.yaml
+```
+
+### 4. Execute Ingestion (Programmatic)
+
+```csharp
+using StellaOps.BinaryIndex.Corpus;
+using StellaOps.BinaryIndex.Corpus.Connectors;
+
+// Setup
+var serviceProvider = ...; // Configure DI
+var ingestionService = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<ICorpusIngestionService>();
+var glibcConnector = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<GlibcCorpusConnector>();
+
+// Fetch available versions
+var versions = await glibcConnector.GetAvailableVersionsAsync(ct);
+
+// Ingest specific version
+foreach (var version in versions.Take(5))
+{
+    foreach (var arch in new[] { "x86_64", "aarch64" })
+    {
+        try
+        {
+            var binary = await glibcConnector.FetchBinaryAsync(version, arch, abi: "gnu", ct);
+
+            var metadata = new LibraryMetadata(
+                Name: "glibc",
+                Version: version,
+                Architecture: arch,
+                Abi: "gnu",
+                Compiler: "gcc",
+                OptimizationLevel: "O2"
+            );
+
+            using var stream = File.OpenRead(binary.Path);
+            var result = await ingestionService.IngestLibraryAsync(metadata, stream, ct: ct);
+
+            Console.WriteLine($"Ingested {result.FunctionsIndexed} functions from glibc {version} {arch}");
+        }
+        catch (Exception ex)
+        {
+            Console.WriteLine($"Failed to ingest glibc {version} {arch}: {ex.Message}");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Ingestion Workflow
+
+```
+1. Package Discovery
+   └─> Query package mirror for available versions
+
+2. Package Download
+   └─> Fetch .deb/.apk/.rpm package
+   └─> Extract binary files
+
+3. Binary Analysis
+   └─> Disassemble with B2R2
+   └─> Lift to IR (semantic fingerprints)
+   └─> Extract functions, imports, exports
+
+4. Fingerprint Generation
+   └─> Instruction-level fingerprints
+   └─> Semantic graph fingerprints
+   └─> API call sequence fingerprints
+   └─> Combined fingerprints
+
+5. Database Storage
+   └─> Insert library/version records
+   └─> Insert build variant records
+   └─> Insert function records
+   └─> Insert fingerprint records
+
+6. Clustering (post-ingestion)
+   └─> Group similar functions across versions
+   └─> Compute centroids
+```
+
+## Expected Corpus Coverage
+
+### Phase 2a (Priority Libraries)
+
+| Library | Versions | Architectures | Est. Functions | Status |
+|---------|----------|---------------|----------------|--------|
+| glibc | 2.17, 2.28, 2.31, 2.35, 2.38 | x64, arm64, armv7 | ~15,000 | Ready to ingest |
+| OpenSSL | 1.0.2, 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 3.0, 3.1 | x64, arm64 | ~8,000 | Ready to ingest |
+| zlib | 1.2.8, 1.2.11, 1.2.13, 1.3 | x64, arm64 | ~200 | Ready to ingest |
+| libcurl | 7.50-7.88 (select) | x64, arm64 | ~2,000 | Ready to ingest |
+| SQLite | 3.30-3.44 (select) | x64, arm64 | ~1,500 | Ready to ingest |
+
+**Total Phase 2a:** ~26,700 unique functions, ~80,000 fingerprints (with variants)
+
+## Monitoring Ingestion
+
+```bash
+# Check ingestion job status
+stellaops corpus jobs list
+
+# View statistics
+stellaops corpus stats
+
+# Query specific library coverage
+stellaops corpus query --library glibc --show-versions
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- **Parallel ingestion:** Use multiple workers for concurrent processing
+- **Disk I/O:** Local package cache significantly speeds up repeated ingestion
+- **Database:** Ensure PostgreSQL has adequate memory for bulk inserts
+- **Network:** Mirror selection impacts download speed
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Package Download Failures
+
+```
+Error: Failed to download package from mirror
+Solution: Check mirror availability, try alternative mirror
+```
+
+### Fingerprint Generation Failures
+
+```
+Error: Failed to generate semantic fingerprint for function X
+Solution: Check B2R2 support for architecture, verify binary format
+```
+
+### Database Connection Issues
+
+```
+Error: Could not connect to corpus database
+Solution: Verify STELLAOPS_CORPUS_DB connection string, check PostgreSQL is running
+```
+
+## Next Steps
+
+After successful ingestion:
+
+1. Run clustering: `stellaops corpus cluster --library glibc`
+2. Update CVE associations: `stellaops corpus update-cves`
+3. Validate query performance: `stellaops corpus benchmark-query`
+4. Export statistics: `stellaops corpus export-stats --output corpus-stats.json`

+# Function Behavior Corpus Guide
+
+This document describes StellaOps' Function Behavior Corpus system - a BSim-like capability for identifying functions by their semantic behavior rather than relying on symbols or prior CVE signatures.
+
+## Overview
+
+The Function Behavior Corpus is a database of known library functions with pre-computed fingerprints that enable identification of functions in stripped binaries. When a binary is analyzed, functions can be matched against the corpus to determine:
+
+- **Library origin** - Which library (glibc, OpenSSL, zlib, etc.) the function comes from
+- **Version information** - Which version(s) of the library contain this function
+- **CVE associations** - Whether the function is linked to known vulnerabilities
+- **Patch status** - Whether a function matches a vulnerable or patched variant
+
+## Architecture

+
+## Core Services
+
+### ICorpusIngestionService
+
+Handles ingestion of library binaries into the corpus.
+
+```csharp
+public interface ICorpusIngestionService
+{
+    // Ingest a single library binary
+    Task<IngestionResult> IngestLibraryAsync(
+        LibraryIngestionMetadata metadata,
+        Stream binaryStream,
+        IngestionOptions? options = null,
+        CancellationToken ct = default);
+
+    // Ingest from a library connector (bulk)
+    IAsyncEnumerable<IngestionResult> IngestFromConnectorAsync(
+        string libraryName,
+        ILibraryCorpusConnector connector,
+        IngestionOptions? options = null,
+        CancellationToken ct = default);
+
+    // Update CVE associations for functions
+    Task<int> UpdateCveAssociationsAsync(
+        string cveId,
+        IReadOnlyList<FunctionCveAssociation> associations,
+        CancellationToken ct = default);
+
+    // Check job status
+    Task<IngestionJob?> GetJobStatusAsync(Guid jobId, CancellationToken ct = default);
+}
+```
+
+### ICorpusQueryService
+
+Queries the corpus to identify functions by their fingerprints.
+
+```csharp
+public interface ICorpusQueryService
+{
+    // Identify a single function
+    Task<ImmutableArray<FunctionMatch>> IdentifyFunctionAsync(
+        FunctionFingerprints fingerprints,
+        IdentifyOptions? options = null,
+        CancellationToken ct = default);
+
+    // Batch identify multiple functions
+    Task<ImmutableDictionary<int, ImmutableArray<FunctionMatch>>> IdentifyBatchAsync(
+        IReadOnlyList<FunctionFingerprints> fingerprintSets,
+        IdentifyOptions? options = null,
+        CancellationToken ct = default);
+
+    // Get corpus statistics
+    Task<CorpusStatistics> GetStatisticsAsync(CancellationToken ct = default);
+
+    // List available libraries
+    Task<ImmutableArray<LibrarySummary>> ListLibrariesAsync(CancellationToken ct = default);
+}
+```
+
+### ILibraryCorpusConnector
+
+Interface for library-specific connectors that fetch binaries for ingestion.
+
+```csharp
+public interface ILibraryCorpusConnector
+{
+    string LibraryName { get; }
+    string[] SupportedArchitectures { get; }
+
+    // Get available versions
+    Task<ImmutableArray<string>> GetAvailableVersionsAsync(CancellationToken ct);
+
+    // Fetch binaries for ingestion
+    IAsyncEnumerable<LibraryBinary> FetchBinariesAsync(
+        IReadOnlyList<string> versions,
+        string architecture,
+        LibraryFetchOptions? options = null,
+        CancellationToken ct = default);
+}
+```
+
+## Fingerprint Algorithms
+
+The corpus uses multiple fingerprint algorithms to enable matching under different conditions:
+
+### Semantic K-Skip-Gram Hash (`semantic_ksg`)
+
+Based on Ghidra BSim's approach:
+- Analyzes normalized p-code operations
+- Generates k-skip-gram features from instruction sequences
+- Robust against register renaming and basic-block reordering
+- Best for matching functions across optimization levels
+
+### Instruction Basic-Block Hash (`instruction_bb`)
+
+- Hashes normalized instruction sequences per basic block
+- More sensitive to compiler differences
+- Faster to compute than semantic hash
+- Good for exact or near-exact matches
+
+### Control-Flow Graph Hash (`cfg_wl`)
+
+- Weisfeiler-Lehman graph hash of the CFG
+- Captures structural similarity
+- Works well even when instruction sequences differ
+- Useful for detecting refactored code
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Ingesting a Library
+
+```csharp
+// Create ingestion metadata

+
+### Bulk Ingestion via Connector
+
+```csharp
+// Use the OpenSSL connector to fetch and ingest multiple versions
+var connector = new OpenSslCorpusConnector(httpClientFactory, logger);
+
+await foreach (var result in ingestionService.IngestFromConnectorAsync(
+    "openssl",
+    connector,
+    new IngestionOptions { GenerateClusters = true }))
+{
+    Console.WriteLine($"Ingested {result.LibraryName} {result.Version}: {result.FunctionsIndexed} functions");
+}
+```
+
+### Identifying Functions
+
+```csharp
+// Build fingerprints from analyzed function
+var fingerprints = new FunctionFingerprints(
+    SemanticHash: semanticHashBytes,
+    InstructionHash: instructionHashBytes,
+    CfgHash: cfgHashBytes,
+    ApiCalls: ["malloc", "memcpy", "free"],
+    SizeBytes: 256);
+
+// Query the corpus
+var matches = await queryService.IdentifyFunctionAsync(
+    fingerprints,
+    new IdentifyOptions
+    {
+        MinSimilarity = 0.85m,
+        MaxResults = 5,
+        IncludeCveAssociations = true
+    });
+
+foreach (var match in matches)
+{
+    Console.WriteLine($"Match: {match.LibraryName} {match.Version} - {match.FunctionName}");
+    Console.WriteLine($"  Similarity: {match.Similarity:P1}");
+    Console.WriteLine($"  Match method: {match.MatchMethod}");
+
+    if (match.CveAssociations.Any())
+    {
+        foreach (var cve in match.CveAssociations)
+        {
+            Console.WriteLine($"  CVE: {cve.CveId} ({cve.AffectedState})");
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Checking CVE Associations
+
+```csharp
+// When a function matches, check if it's associated with known CVEs
+var match = matches.First();
+if (match.CveAssociations.Any(c => c.AffectedState == CveAffectedState.Vulnerable))
+{
+    Console.WriteLine("WARNING: Function matches a known vulnerable variant!");
+}
+```
+
+## Database Schema
+
+The corpus uses a dedicated PostgreSQL schema with the following key tables:
+
+| Table | Purpose |
+|-------|---------|
+| `corpus.libraries` | Master list of tracked libraries |
+| `corpus.library_versions` | Version records with release metadata |
+| `corpus.build_variants` | Architecture/compiler/optimization variants |
+| `corpus.functions` | Function metadata (name, address, size, etc.) |
+| `corpus.fingerprints` | Fingerprint hashes indexed for lookup |
+| `corpus.function_clusters` | Groups of similar functions |
+| `corpus.function_cves` | CVE-to-function associations |
+| `corpus.ingestion_jobs` | Job tracking for bulk ingestion |
+
+## Supported Libraries
+
+The corpus supports ingestion from these common libraries:
+
+| Library | Connector | Architectures |
+|---------|-----------|---------------|
+| glibc | `GlibcCorpusConnector` | x86_64, aarch64, armv7, i686 |
+| OpenSSL | `OpenSslCorpusConnector` | x86_64, aarch64, armv7 |
+| zlib | `ZlibCorpusConnector` | x86_64, aarch64 |
+| curl | `CurlCorpusConnector` | x86_64, aarch64 |
+| SQLite | `SqliteCorpusConnector` | x86_64, aarch64 |
+
+## Integration with Scanner
+
+The corpus integrates with the Scanner module through `IBinaryVulnerabilityService`:
+
+```csharp
+// Scanner can identify functions from fingerprints
+var matches = await binaryVulnService.IdentifyFunctionFromCorpusAsync(
+    new FunctionFingerprintSet(
+        FunctionAddress: 0x4000,
+        SemanticHash: hash,
+        InstructionHash: null,
+        CfgHash: null,
+        ApiCalls: null,
+        SizeBytes: 128),
+    new CorpusLookupOptions
+    {
+        MinSimilarity = 0.9m,
+        MaxResults = 3
+    });
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- **Batch queries**: Use `IdentifyBatchAsync` for multiple functions to reduce round-trips
+- **Fingerprint selection**: Semantic hash is most robust but slowest; instruction hash is faster for exact matches
+- **Similarity threshold**: Higher thresholds reduce false positives but may miss legitimate matches
+- **Clustering**: Pre-computed clusters speed up similarity searches
+
+## Security Notes
+
+- Corpus connectors fetch from external sources; ensure network policies allow required endpoints
+- Ingested binaries are hashed to prevent duplicate processing
+- CVE associations include confidence scores and evidence types for auditability
+- All timestamps use UTC for consistency

+# BinaryIndex ML Model Training Guide
+
+This document describes how to train, export, and deploy ML models for the BinaryIndex binary similarity detection system.
+
+## Overview
+
+The BinaryIndex ML pipeline uses transformer-based models to generate function embeddings that capture semantic similarity. The primary model is **CodeBERT-Binary**, a fine-tuned variant of CodeBERT optimized for decompiled binary code comparison.

+```
+
+Training logs are written to `logs/` and checkpoints to `models/`.
+
+### Training Script Overview
+
+```python
+# tools/ml/train_codebert_binary.py
+
+class CodeBertBinaryModel(torch.nn.Module):
+    """CodeBERT fine-tuned for binary code similarity."""
+
+    def __init__(self, pretrained_model="microsoft/codebert-base"):
+        super().__init__()
+        self.encoder = RobertaModel.from_pretrained(pretrained_model)
+        self.projection = torch.nn.Linear(768, 768)
+
+    def forward(self, input_ids, attention_mask):
+        outputs = self.encoder(input_ids, attention_mask=attention_mask)
+        pooled = outputs.last_hidden_state[:, 0, :]  # [CLS] token
+        projected = self.projection(pooled)
+        return torch.nn.functional.normalize(projected, p=2, dim=1)
+
+
+class ContrastiveLoss(torch.nn.Module):
+    """Contrastive loss for learning similarity embeddings."""
+
+    def __init__(self, margin=0.5):
+        super().__init__()
+        self.margin = margin
+
+    def forward(self, embedding_a, embedding_b, label):
+        distance = torch.nn.functional.pairwise_distance(embedding_a, embedding_b)
+        # label=1: similar, label=0: dissimilar
+        loss = label * distance.pow(2) + \
+               (1 - label) * torch.clamp(self.margin - distance, min=0).pow(2)
+        return loss.mean()
+```
+
+## Model Export
+
+After training, export the model to ONNX format for inference:
+
+```bash
+python export_onnx.py \
+    --model models/codebert-binary/best.pt \
+    --output models/codebert-binary.onnx \
+    --opset 17
+```
+
+### Export Script
+
+```python
+# tools/ml/export_onnx.py
+
+def export_to_onnx(model, output_path):
+    model.eval()
+    dummy_input = torch.randint(0, 50000, (1, 512))
+    dummy_mask = torch.ones(1, 512)
+
+    torch.onnx.export(
+        model,
+        (dummy_input, dummy_mask),
+        output_path,
+        input_names=['input_ids', 'attention_mask'],
+        output_names=['embedding'],
+        dynamic_axes={
+            'input_ids': {0: 'batch', 1: 'seq'},
+            'attention_mask': {0: 'batch', 1: 'seq'},
+            'embedding': {0: 'batch'}
+        },
+        opset_version=17
+    )
+```
+
+## Deployment
+
+### Configuration
+
+Configure the ML service in your application:
+
+```yaml
+# etc/binaryindex.yaml
+ml:
+  enabled: true
+  model_path: /opt/stellaops/models/codebert-binary.onnx
+  vocabulary_path: /opt/stellaops/models/vocab.txt
+  num_threads: 4
+  batch_size: 16
+```
+
+### Code Integration
+
+```csharp
+// Register ML services
+services.AddMlServices(options =>
+{
+    options.ModelPath = config["ml:model_path"];
+    options.VocabularyPath = config["ml:vocabulary_path"];
+    options.NumThreads = config.GetValue<int>("ml:num_threads");
+});
+
+// Use embedding service
+var embedding = await embeddingService.GenerateEmbeddingAsync(
+    new EmbeddingInput(decompiledCode, null, null, EmbeddingInputType.DecompiledCode));
+
+// Compare embeddings
+var similarity = embeddingService.ComputeSimilarity(embA, embB, SimilarityMetric.Cosine);
+```
+
+### Fallback Mode
+
+When no ONNX model is available, the system generates hash-based pseudo-embeddings:
+
+```csharp
+// In OnnxInferenceEngine.cs
+if (_session is null)
+{
+    // Fallback: generate hash-based pseudo-embedding for testing
+    vector = GenerateFallbackEmbedding(text, 768);
+}
+```
+
+This allows the system to operate without a trained model (useful for testing) but with reduced accuracy.
+
+## Evaluation
+
+### Metrics
+
+| Metric | Definition | Target |
+|--------|------------|--------|
+| Accuracy | (TP + TN) / Total | > 90% |
+| Precision | TP / (TP + FP) | > 95% |
+| Recall | TP / (TP + FN) | > 85% |
+| F1 Score | 2 * P * R / (P + R) | > 90% |
+| Latency | Per-function embedding time | < 100ms |
+
+### Running Evaluation
+
+```bash
+python evaluate.py \
+    --model models/codebert-binary.onnx \
+    --test data/test.jsonl \
+    --output results/evaluation.json
+```
+
+### Benchmark Results
+
+From `EnsembleAccuracyBenchmarks`:
+
+| Approach | Accuracy | Precision | Recall | F1 Score | Latency |
+|----------|----------|-----------|--------|----------|---------|
+| Phase 1 (Hash only) | 70% | 100% | 0% | 0% | 1ms |
+| AST only | 75% | 80% | 70% | 74% | 5ms |
+| Embedding only | 80% | 85% | 75% | 80% | 50ms |
+| Ensemble (Phase 4) | 92% | 95% | 88% | 91% | 80ms |
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**Model not loading:**
+- Verify ONNX file path is correct
+- Check ONNX Runtime is installed: `dotnet add package Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime`
+- Ensure model was exported with compatible opset version
+
+**Low accuracy:**
+- Verify training data quality and balance
+- Check for data leakage between train/test splits
+- Adjust contrastive loss margin
+
+**High latency:**
+- Reduce max sequence length (default 512)
+- Enable batching for bulk operations
+- Consider GPU acceleration for high-volume deployments
+
+### Logging
+
+Enable detailed ML logging:
+
+```csharp
+services.AddLogging(builder =>
+{
+    builder.AddFilter("StellaOps.BinaryIndex.ML", LogLevel.Debug);
+});
+```

+# Policy Determinization Architecture
+
+## Overview
+
+The **Determinization** subsystem handles CVEs that arrive without complete evidence (EPSS, VEX, reachability). Rather than blocking pipelines or silently ignoring unknowns, it treats them as **probabilistic observations** that can mature as evidence arrives.
+
+**Design Principles:**
+1. **Uncertainty is first-class** - Missing signals contribute to entropy, not guesswork
+2. **Graceful degradation** - Pipelines continue with guardrails, not hard blocks
+3. **Automatic hardening** - Policies tighten as evidence accumulates
+4. **Full auditability** - Every decision traces back to evidence state
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+When a CVE is discovered against a component, several scenarios create uncertainty:
+
+| Scenario | Current Behavior | Desired Behavior |
+|----------|------------------|------------------|
+| EPSS not yet published | Treat as unknown severity | Explicit `SignalState.NotQueried` with default prior |
+| VEX statement missing | Assume affected | Explicit uncertainty with configurable policy |
+| Reachability indeterminate | Conservative block | Allow with guardrails in non-prod |
+| Conflicting VEX sources | K4 Conflict state | Entropy penalty + human review trigger |
+| Stale evidence (>14 days) | No special handling | Decay-adjusted confidence + auto-review |

+## Data Models
+
+### ObservationState
+
+Represents the lifecycle state of a CVE observation, orthogonal to VEX status:
+
+```csharp
+/// <summary>
+/// Observation state for CVE tracking, independent of VEX status.
+/// Allows a CVE to be "Affected" (VEX) but "PendingDeterminization" (observation).
+/// </summary>
+public enum ObservationState
+{
+    /// <summary>
+    /// Initial state: CVE discovered but evidence incomplete.
+    /// Triggers guardrail-based policy evaluation.
+    /// </summary>
+    PendingDeterminization = 0,
+
+    /// <summary>
+    /// Evidence sufficient for confident determination.
+    /// Normal policy evaluation applies.
+    /// </summary>
+    Determined = 1,
+
+    /// <summary>
+    /// Multiple signals conflict (K4 Conflict state).
+    /// Requires human review regardless of confidence.
+    /// </summary>
+    Disputed = 2,
+
+    /// <summary>
+    /// Evidence decayed below threshold; needs refresh.
+    /// Auto-triggered when decay > threshold.
+    /// </summary>
+    StaleRequiresRefresh = 3,
+
+    /// <summary>
+    /// Manually flagged for review.
+    /// Bypasses automatic determinization.

+    /// CVE suppressed/ignored by policy exception.
+    /// Evidence tracking continues but decisions skip.
+    /// </summary>
+    Suppressed = 5
+}
+```
+
+### SignalState<T>
+
+Null-aware wrapper distinguishing "not queried" from "queried, value null":
+
+```csharp
+/// <summary>
+/// Wraps a signal value with query status metadata.
+/// Distinguishes between: not queried, queried with value, queried but absent, query failed.

+## Event-Driven Re-evaluation
+
+When new signals arrive, the system re-evaluates affected observations:
+
+```csharp
+public sealed class SignalUpdateHandler : ISignalUpdateSubscription
+{
+    private readonly IObservationRepository _observations;
+    private readonly IDeterminizationPolicy _policy;
+    private readonly IEventPublisher _events;
+
+    public async Task HandleAsync(SignalUpdatedEvent evt, CancellationToken ct)
+    {
+        // Find observations affected by this signal
+        var affected = await _observations.FindByCveAndPurlAsync(evt.CveId, evt.Purl, ct);
+
+        foreach (var obs in affected)
+        {
+            // Rebuild signal snapshot
+            var snapshot = await BuildCurrentSnapshotAsync(obs, ct);
+
+            // Recalculate uncertainty
+            var uncertainty = _uncertaintyCalculator.Calculate(snapshot);
+
+            // Re-evaluate policy
+            var result = _policy.Evaluate(new DeterminizationContext
+            {
+                SignalSnapshot = snapshot,
+                UncertaintyScore = uncertainty,
+                // ... other context
+            });
+
+            // Transition state if needed
+            var newState = DetermineNewState(obs.ObservationState, result, uncertainty);
+            if (newState != obs.ObservationState)
+            {
+                await _observations.UpdateStateAsync(obs.Id, newState, ct);
+                await _events.PublishAsync(new ObservationStateChangedEvent(
+                    obs.Id, obs.ObservationState, newState, result.Reason), ct);
+            }
+        }
+    }
+
+    private ObservationState DetermineNewState(
+        ObservationState current,
+        DeterminizationResult result,
+        UncertaintyScore uncertainty)
+    {
+        // Transition logic
+        if (result.Status == PolicyVerdictStatus.Escalated)
+            return ObservationState.ManualReviewRequired;
+
+        if (uncertainty.Tier == UncertaintyTier.VeryLow)
+            return ObservationState.Determined;
+
+        if (current == ObservationState.PendingDeterminization &&
+            uncertainty.Tier <= UncertaintyTier.Low)
+            return ObservationState.Determined;
+
+        return current;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+```csharp
+public sealed class DeterminizationOptions
+{
+    /// <summary>EPSS score that triggers quarantine (block). Default: 0.4</summary>
+    public double EpssQuarantineThreshold { get; set; } = 0.4;

+
+    /// <summary>Per-environment threshold overrides.</summary>
+    public Dictionary<string, EnvironmentThresholds> EnvironmentThresholds { get; set; } = new();
+}
+```
+
+## Verdict Status Extension
+
+Extended `PolicyVerdictStatus` enum:
+
+```csharp
+public enum PolicyVerdictStatus
+{
+    Pass = 0,           // Finding meets policy requirements
+    GuardedPass = 1,    // NEW: Allow with runtime monitoring enabled
+    Blocked = 2,        // Finding fails policy checks; must be remediated
+    Ignored = 3,        // Finding deliberately ignored via exception
+    Warned = 4,         // Finding passes but with warnings
+    Deferred = 5,       // Decision deferred; needs additional evidence
+    Escalated = 6,      // Decision escalated for human review
+    RequiresVex = 7     // VEX statement required to make decision
+}
+```
+
+## Metrics & Observability
+
+```csharp
+public static class DeterminizationMetrics
+{
+    // Counters
+    public static readonly Counter<int> ObservationsCreated =
+        Meter.CreateCounter<int>("stellaops_determinization_observations_created_total");
+
+    public static readonly Counter<int> StateTransitions =
+        Meter.CreateCounter<int>("stellaops_determinization_state_transitions_total");
+
+    public static readonly Counter<int> PolicyEvaluations =
+        Meter.CreateCounter<int>("stellaops_determinization_policy_evaluations_total");
+
+    // Histograms
+    public static readonly Histogram<double> UncertaintyEntropy =
+        Meter.CreateHistogram<double>("stellaops_determinization_uncertainty_entropy");
+
+    public static readonly Histogram<double> DecayMultiplier =
+        Meter.CreateHistogram<double>("stellaops_determinization_decay_multiplier");
+
+    // Gauges
+    public static readonly ObservableGauge<int> PendingObservations =
+        Meter.CreateObservableGauge<int>("stellaops_determinization_pending_observations",
+            () => /* query count */);
+
+    public static readonly ObservableGauge<int> StaleObservations =
+        Meter.CreateObservableGauge<int>("stellaops_determinization_stale_observations",
+            () => /* query count */);
+}
+```
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+| Test Category | Focus Area | Example |
+|---------------|------------|---------|
+| Unit | Uncertainty calculation | Missing 2 signals = correct entropy |
+| Unit | Decay calculation | 14 days = 50% multiplier |
+| Unit | Policy rules | EPSS 0.5 + dev = guarded allow |
+| Integration | Signal attachment | Feedser EPSS query → SignalState |
+| Integration | State transitions | New VEX → PendingDeterminization → Determined |
+| Determinism | Same input → same output | Canonical snapshot → reproducible entropy |
+| Property | Entropy bounds | Always [0.0, 1.0] |
+| Property | Decay monotonicity | Older → lower multiplier |
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **No Guessing:** Missing signals use explicit priors, never random values
+2. **Audit Trail:** Every state transition logged with evidence snapshot
+3. **Conservative Defaults:** Production blocks high entropy; only non-prod allows guardrails
+4. **Escalation Path:** Runtime evidence always escalates regardless of other signals
+5. **Tamper Detection:** Signal snapshots hashed for integrity verification

+# HLC Queue Ordering Migration Guide
+
+This guide describes how to enable HLC (Hybrid Logical Clock) ordering for the Scheduler queue, transitioning from legacy `(priority, created_at)` ordering to HLC-based ordering with cryptographic chain linking.
+
+## Overview
+
+HLC ordering provides:
+- **Deterministic global ordering**: Causal consistency across distributed nodes
+- **Cryptographic chain linking**: Audit-safe job sequence proofs
+- **Reproducible processing**: Same input produces same chain
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. PostgreSQL 16+ with the scheduler schema
+2. HLC library dependency (`StellaOps.HybridLogicalClock`)
+3. Schema migration `002_hlc_queue_chain.sql` applied
+
+## Migration Phases
+
+### Phase 1: Deploy with Dual-Write Mode
+
+Enable dual-write to populate the new `scheduler_log` table without affecting existing operations.
+
+```yaml
+# appsettings.yaml or environment configuration
+Scheduler:
+  Queue:
+    Hlc:
+      EnableHlcOrdering: false  # Keep using legacy ordering for reads
+      DualWriteMode: true       # Write to both legacy and HLC tables
+```
+
+```csharp
+// Program.cs or Startup.cs
+services.AddOptions<SchedulerQueueOptions>()
+    .Bind(configuration.GetSection("Scheduler:Queue"))
+    .ValidateDataAnnotations()
+    .ValidateOnStart();
+
+// Register HLC services
+services.AddHlcSchedulerServices();
+
+// Register HLC clock
+services.AddSingleton<IHybridLogicalClock>(sp =>
+{
+    var nodeId = Environment.MachineName; // or use a stable node identifier
+    return new HybridLogicalClock(nodeId, TimeProvider.System);
+});
+```
+
+**Verification:**
+- Monitor `scheduler_hlc_enqueues_total` metric for dual-write activity
+- Verify `scheduler_log` table is being populated
+- Check chain verification passes: `scheduler_chain_verifications_total{result="valid"}`
+
+### Phase 2: Backfill Historical Data (Optional)
+
+If you need historical jobs in the HLC chain, backfill from the existing `scheduler.jobs` table:
+
+```sql
+-- Backfill script (run during maintenance window)
+-- Note: This creates a new chain starting from historical data
+-- The chain will not have valid prev_link values for historical entries
+
+INSERT INTO scheduler.scheduler_log (
+    tenant_id, t_hlc, partition_key, job_id, payload_hash, prev_link, link
+)
+SELECT
+    tenant_id,
+    -- Generate synthetic HLC timestamps based on created_at
+    -- Format: YYYYMMDDHHMMSS-nodeid-counter
+    TO_CHAR(created_at AT TIME ZONE 'UTC', 'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS') || '-backfill-' ||
+        LPAD(ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY tenant_id ORDER BY created_at)::TEXT, 6, '0'),
+    COALESCE(project_id, ''),
+    id,
+    DECODE(payload_digest, 'hex'),
+    NULL,  -- No chain linking for historical data
+    DECODE(payload_digest, 'hex')  -- Use payload_digest as link placeholder
+FROM scheduler.jobs
+WHERE status IN ('pending', 'scheduled', 'running')
+  AND NOT EXISTS (
+    SELECT 1 FROM scheduler.scheduler_log sl
+    WHERE sl.job_id = jobs.id
+  )
+ORDER BY tenant_id, created_at;
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Enable HLC Ordering for Reads
+
+Once dual-write is stable and backfill (if needed) is complete:
+
+```yaml
+Scheduler:
+  Queue:
+    Hlc:
+      EnableHlcOrdering: true   # Use HLC ordering for reads
+      DualWriteMode: true       # Keep dual-write during transition
+      VerifyOnDequeue: false    # Optional: enable for extra validation
+```
+
+**Verification:**
+- Monitor dequeue latency (should be similar to legacy)
+- Verify job processing order matches HLC order
+- Check chain integrity periodically
+
+### Phase 4: Disable Dual-Write Mode
+
+Once confident in HLC ordering:
+
+```yaml
+Scheduler:
+  Queue:
+    Hlc:
+      EnableHlcOrdering: true
+      DualWriteMode: false      # Stop writing to legacy table
+      VerifyOnDequeue: false
+```
+
+## Configuration Reference
+
+### SchedulerHlcOptions
+
+| Property | Type | Default | Description |
+|----------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `EnableHlcOrdering` | bool | false | Use HLC ordering for queue reads |
+| `DualWriteMode` | bool | false | Write to both legacy and HLC tables |
+| `VerifyOnDequeue` | bool | false | Verify chain integrity on each dequeue |
+| `MaxClockDriftMs` | int | 60000 | Maximum allowed clock drift in milliseconds |
+
+## Metrics
+
+| Metric | Type | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| `scheduler_hlc_enqueues_total` | Counter | Total HLC enqueue operations |
+| `scheduler_hlc_enqueue_deduplicated_total` | Counter | Deduplicated enqueue operations |
+| `scheduler_hlc_enqueue_duration_seconds` | Histogram | Enqueue operation duration |
+| `scheduler_hlc_dequeues_total` | Counter | Total HLC dequeue operations |
+| `scheduler_hlc_dequeued_entries_total` | Counter | Total entries dequeued |
+| `scheduler_chain_verifications_total` | Counter | Chain verification operations |
+| `scheduler_chain_verification_issues_total` | Counter | Chain verification issues found |
+| `scheduler_batch_snapshots_created_total` | Counter | Batch snapshots created |
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Chain Verification Failures
+
+If chain verification reports issues:
+
+1. Check `scheduler_chain_verification_issues_total` for issue count
+2. Query the log for specific issues:
+   ```csharp
+   var result = await chainVerifier.VerifyAsync(tenantId);
+   foreach (var issue in result.Issues)
+   {
+       logger.LogError(
+           "Chain issue at job {JobId}: {Type} - {Description}",
+           issue.JobId, issue.IssueType, issue.Description);
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. Common causes:
+   - Database corruption: Restore from backup
+   - Concurrent writes without proper locking: Check transaction isolation
+   - Clock drift: Verify `MaxClockDriftMs` setting
+
+### Performance Considerations
+
+- **Index usage**: Ensure `idx_scheduler_log_tenant_hlc` is being used
+- **Chain head caching**: The `chain_heads` table provides O(1) access to latest link
+- **Batch sizes**: Adjust dequeue batch size based on workload
+
+## Rollback Procedure
+
+To rollback to legacy ordering:
+
+```yaml
+Scheduler:
+  Queue:
+    Hlc:
+      EnableHlcOrdering: false
+      DualWriteMode: false
+```
+
+The `scheduler_log` table can be retained for audit purposes or dropped if no longer needed.

+# Testing Enhancements Architecture
+
+**Version:** 1.0.0
+**Last Updated:** 2026-01-05
+**Status:** In Development
+
+## Overview
+
+This document describes the architecture of StellaOps testing enhancements derived from the product advisory "New Testing Enhancements for Stella Ops" (05-Dec-2026). The enhancements address gaps in temporal correctness, policy drift control, replayability, and competitive awareness.
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+> "The next gains for StellaOps testing are no longer about coverage—they're about temporal correctness, policy drift control, replayability, and competitive awareness. Systems that fail now do so quietly, over time, and under sequence pressure."
+
+### Key Gaps Identified
+
+| Gap | Impact | Current State |
+|-----|--------|---------------|
+| **Temporal Edge Cases** | Silent failures under clock drift, leap seconds, TTL boundaries | TimeProvider exists but no edge case tests |
+| **Failure Choreography** | Cascading failures untested | Single-point chaos tests only |
+| **Trace Replay** | Assumptions vs. reality mismatch | Replay module underutilized |
+| **Policy Drift** | Silent behavior changes | Determinism tests exist but no diff testing |
+| **Decision Opacity** | Audit/debug difficulty | Verdicts without explanations |
+| **Evidence Gaps** | Test runs not audit-grade | TRX files not in EvidenceLocker |
+

+# Cross-Cutting Testing Standards Guide
+
+This guide documents the cross-cutting testing standards implemented for StellaOps, including blast-radius annotations, schema evolution testing, dead-path detection, and config-diff testing.
+
+**Sprint Reference:** SPRINT_20260105_002_005_TEST_cross_cutting

+
+## Overview
+
+Cross-cutting testing standards ensure consistent test quality across all modules:
+
+| Standard | Purpose | Enforcement |
+|----------|---------|-------------|
+| **Blast-Radius** | Categorize tests by operational surface | CI validation on PRs |
+| **Schema Evolution** | Verify backward compatibility | CI on schema changes |
+| **Dead-Path Detection** | Identify uncovered code | CI with baseline comparison |
+| **Config-Diff** | Validate config behavioral isolation | Integration tests |
+
+---
+
+## Blast-Radius Annotations
+
+### Purpose
+
+Blast-radius annotations categorize tests by the operational surfaces they affect. During incidents, this enables targeted test runs for specific areas (e.g., run only Auth-related tests when investigating an authentication issue).
+
+### Categories
+
+| Category | Description | Examples |
+|----------|-------------|----------|
+| `Auth` | Authentication, authorization, tokens | Login, OAuth, DPoP |
+| `Scanning` | SBOM generation, vulnerability scanning | Scanner, analyzers |
+| `Evidence` | Attestation, evidence storage | EvidenceLocker, Attestor |
+| `Compliance` | Audit, regulatory, GDPR | Compliance reports |
+| `Advisories` | Advisory ingestion, VEX processing | Concelier, VexLens |
+| `RiskPolicy` | Risk scoring, policy evaluation | RiskEngine, Policy |
+| `Crypto` | Cryptographic operations | Signing, verification |

+
+## Schema Evolution Testing
+
+### Purpose
+
+Schema evolution tests verify that code remains compatible with previous database schema versions. This prevents breaking changes during:
+
+- Rolling deployments (new code, old schema)
+- Rollbacks (old code, new schema)
+- Migration windows
+
+### Schema Versions
+
+| Version | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `N` | Current schema (HEAD) |
+| `N-1` | Previous schema version |
+| `N-2` | Two versions back |
+
+### Using SchemaEvolutionTestBase
+
+```csharp
+using StellaOps.Testing.SchemaEvolution;
+using Testcontainers.PostgreSql;
+using Xunit;
+
+[Trait("Category", TestCategories.SchemaEvolution)]
+public class ScannerSchemaEvolutionTests : PostgresSchemaEvolutionTestBase
+{
+    public ScannerSchemaEvolutionTests()
+        : base(new SchemaEvolutionConfig
+        {
+            ModuleName = "Scanner",
+            CurrentVersion = new SchemaVersion("v2.1.0",
+                DateTimeOffset.Parse("2026-01-01")),
+            PreviousVersions =
+            [
+                new SchemaVersion("v2.0.0",
+                    DateTimeOffset.Parse("2025-10-01")),
+                new SchemaVersion("v1.9.0",
+                    DateTimeOffset.Parse("2025-07-01"))
+            ],
+            ConnectionStringTemplate =
+                "Host={0};Port={1};Database={2};Username={3};Password={4}"
+        })
+    {
+    }
+
+    [Fact]
+    public async Task ReadOperations_CompatibleWithPreviousSchema()
+    {
+        var result = await TestReadBackwardCompatibilityAsync(
+            async (connection, version) =>
+            {
+                // Test read operations against old schema
+                var repository = new ScanRepository(connection);
+                var scans = await repository.GetRecentScansAsync(10);
+                return scans.Count >= 0;
+            });
+
+        Assert.True(result.IsSuccess);
+    }
+
+    [Fact]
+    public async Task WriteOperations_CompatibleWithPreviousSchema()
+    {
+        var result = await TestWriteForwardCompatibilityAsync(
+            async (connection, version) =>
+            {
+                // Test write operations
+                var repository = new ScanRepository(connection);
+                await repository.CreateScanAsync(new ScanRequest { /* ... */ });
+                return true;
+            });
+
+        Assert.True(result.IsSuccess);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Versioned Container Images
+
+Build versioned PostgreSQL images for testing:
+
+```bash
+# Build all versions for a module
+./devops/docker/schema-versions/build-schema-images.sh scanner
+
+# Build specific version
+./devops/docker/schema-versions/build-schema-images.sh scanner v2.0.0
+
+# Use in tests
+docker run -d -p 5432:5432 ghcr.io/stellaops/schema-test:scanner-v2.0.0
+```

+
+## Dead-Path Detection
+
+### Purpose
+
+Dead-path detection identifies uncovered code branches. This helps:
+
+- Find untested edge cases
+- Identify potentially dead code
+- Prevent coverage regression
+
+### How It Works
+
+1. Tests run with branch coverage collection (Coverlet)
+2. Cobertura XML report is parsed
+3. Uncovered branches are identified
+4. New dead paths are compared against baseline
+5. CI fails if new dead paths are introduced
+
+### Baseline Management
+
+The baseline file (`dead-paths-baseline.json`) tracks known dead paths:
+
+```json
+{
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "activeDeadPaths": 42,
+  "totalDeadPaths": 50,
+  "exemptedPaths": 8,
+  "entries": [
+    {
+      "file": "src/Scanner/Services/AnalyzerService.cs",
+      "line": 128,
+      "coverage": "1/2",
+      "isExempt": false
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Exemptions
+
+Add exemptions for intentionally untested code in `coverage-exemptions.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+exemptions:
+  - path: "src/Authority/Emergency/BreakGlassHandler.cs:42"
+    category: emergency
+    justification: "Emergency access bypass - tested in incident drills"
+    added: "2026-01-06"
+    owner: "security-team"
+
+  - path: "src/Scanner/Platform/WindowsRegistryScanner.cs:*"
+    category: platform
+    justification: "Windows-only code - CI runs on Linux"
+    added: "2026-01-06"
+    owner: "scanner-team"
+
+ignore_patterns:
+  - "*.Generated.cs"
+  - "**/Migrations/*.cs"
+```
+
+### Using BranchCoverageEnforcer
+
+```csharp
+using StellaOps.Testing.Coverage;
+
+var enforcer = new BranchCoverageEnforcer(new BranchCoverageConfig
+{
+    MinimumBranchCoverage = 80,
+    FailOnNewDeadPaths = true,
+    ExemptionFiles = ["coverage-exemptions.yaml"]
+});
+
+// Parse coverage report
+var parser = new CoberturaParser();
+var coverage = await parser.ParseFileAsync("coverage.cobertura.xml");
+
+// Validate
+var result = enforcer.Validate(coverage);
+if (!result.IsValid)
+{
+    foreach (var violation in result.Violations)
+    {
+        Console.WriteLine($"Violation: {violation.File}:{violation.Line}");
+    }
+}
+
+// Generate dead-path report
+var report = enforcer.GenerateDeadPathReport(coverage);
+Console.WriteLine($"Active dead paths: {report.ActiveDeadPaths}");
+```

+
+## Config-Diff Testing
+
+### Purpose
+
+Config-diff tests verify that configuration changes produce only expected behavioral deltas. This prevents:
+
+- Unintended side effects from config changes
+- Config options affecting unrelated behaviors
+- Regressions in config handling
+
+### Using ConfigDiffTestBase
+
+```csharp
+using StellaOps.Testing.ConfigDiff;
+using Xunit;
+
+[Trait("Category", TestCategories.ConfigDiff)]
+public class ConcelierConfigDiffTests : ConfigDiffTestBase
+{
+    [Fact]
+    public async Task ChangingCacheTimeout_OnlyAffectsCacheBehavior()
+    {
+        var baselineConfig = new ConcelierOptions
+        {
+            CacheTimeoutMinutes = 30,
+            MaxConcurrentDownloads = 10
+        };
+
+        var changedConfig = baselineConfig with
+        {
+            CacheTimeoutMinutes = 60
+        };
+
+        var result = await TestConfigIsolationAsync(
+            baselineConfig,
+            changedConfig,
+            changedSetting: "CacheTimeoutMinutes",
+            unrelatedBehaviors:
+            [
+                async config => await GetDownloadBehavior(config),
+                async config => await GetParseBehavior(config),
+                async config => await GetMergeBehavior(config)
+            ]);
+
+        Assert.True(result.IsSuccess,
+            $"Unexpected changes: {string.Join(", ", result.UnexpectedChanges)}");
+    }
+
+    [Fact]
+    public async Task ChangingRetryPolicy_ProducesExpectedDelta()
+    {
+        var baseline = new ConcelierOptions { MaxRetries = 3 };
+        var changed = new ConcelierOptions { MaxRetries = 5 };
+
+        var expectedDelta = new ConfigDelta(
+            ChangedBehaviors: ["RetryCount", "TotalRequestTime"],
+            BehaviorDeltas:
+            [
+                new BehaviorDelta("RetryCount", "3", "5", null),
+                new BehaviorDelta("TotalRequestTime", "increase", null,
+                    "More retries = longer total time")
+            ]);
+
+        var result = await TestConfigBehavioralDeltaAsync(
+            baseline,
+            changed,
+            getBehavior: async config => await CaptureRetryBehavior(config),
+            computeDelta: ComputeBehaviorSnapshotDelta,
+            expectedDelta: expectedDelta);
+
+        Assert.True(result.IsSuccess);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Behavior Snapshots
+
+Capture behavior at specific configuration states:
+
+```csharp
+var snapshot = CreateSnapshotBuilder("baseline-config")
+    .AddBehavior("CacheHitRate", cacheMetrics.HitRate)
+    .AddBehavior("ResponseTime", responseMetrics.P99)
+    .AddBehavior("ErrorRate", errorMetrics.Rate)
+    .WithCapturedAt(DateTimeOffset.UtcNow)
+    .Build();
+```

+dotnet test /p:CollectCoverage=true /p:CoverletOutputFormat=cobertura
+
+# Schema evolution (requires Docker)
+docker-compose -f devops/compose/schema-test.yml up -d
+dotnet test --filter "Category=SchemaEvolution"
+
+# Config-diff
+dotnet test --filter "Category=ConfigDiff"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### General Guidelines
+
+1. **Test categories**: Always categorize tests correctly
+   - Unit tests: Pure logic, no I/O
+   - Integration tests: Database, network, external systems
+   - Contract tests: API contracts, schemas
+   - Security tests: Authentication, authorization, injection
+
+2. **Blast-radius**: Choose the narrowest applicable category
+   - If a test affects Auth only, use `BlastRadius.Auth`
+   - If it affects Auth and Api, use both
+
+3. **Schema evolution**: Test both read and write paths
+   - Read compatibility: Old data readable by new code
+   - Write compatibility: New code writes valid old-schema data
+
+4. **Dead-path exemptions**: Document thoroughly
+   - Include justification
+   - Set owner and review date
+   - Remove when no longer applicable
+
+5. **Config-diff**: Focus on high-impact options
+   - Security-related configs
+   - Performance-related configs
+   - Feature flags
+
+### Code Review Checklist
+
+- [ ] Integration/Contract/Security tests have BlastRadius annotations
+- [ ] Schema changes include evolution tests
+- [ ] New branches have test coverage
+- [ ] Config option tests verify isolation
+- [ ] Exemptions have justifications
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+**Blast-radius validation fails:**
+```bash
+# Find tests missing BlastRadius
+dotnet test --filter "Category=Integration" --list-tests | \
+  xargs -I {} grep -L "BlastRadius" {}
+```
+
+**Dead-path baseline drift:**
+```bash
+# Regenerate baseline
+dotnet test /p:CollectCoverage=true
+python extract-dead-paths.py coverage.cobertura.xml
+cp dead-paths-report.json dead-paths-baseline.json
+```
+
+**Schema evolution test fails:**
+```bash
+# Check schema version compatibility
+docker run -it ghcr.io/stellaops/schema-test:scanner-v2.0.0 \
+  psql -U stellaops_test -d stellaops_schema_test \
+  -c "SELECT * FROM _schema_metadata;"
+```
