+# Link-Not-Merge Determinism Test Plan
+
+**Task:** MERGE-LNM-21-003 — replace legacy merge determinism suites with observation/linkset regressions now that `NoMergeEnabled` is defaulted to `true`.
+
+## Objectives
+- Validate raw advisory documents remain byte-stable through observation/linkset materialisation.
+- Ensure conflicts detected during linkset building surface in telemetry and persisted artifacts without merge-side mutation.
+- Keep canonical hash output stable for exports/evidence bundles after repeated runs.
+
+## Test Coverage Outline
+1. **Raw → Observation determinism**
+   - Feed canonical advisory raw fixtures containing mixed casing, duplicate aliases, and provenance metadata.
+   - Assert repeated runs of `AdvisoryObservationFactory` emit identical observations (structural equality + canonical JSON hash).
+   - Verify raw linkset payload retains original ordering/whitespace while canonical linkset stays normalised.
+   - Initial coverage implemented via `AdvisoryObservationFactoryTests.Create_IsDeterministicAcrossRuns` (core tests).
+
+2. **Linkset conflict surfacing**
+   - Build linksets from conflicting advisory observations (e.g., differing severity or status flags).
+   - Confirm conflict markers propagate to `AdvisoryLinkset` outputs and associated metrics/log records.
+   - Capture deterministic ordering of conflict explanations for evidence exports.
+
+3. **Evidence/export parity**
+   - Re-run observation/linkset pipelines against identical fixtures and assert resulting evidence manifests hash-identically.
+   - Track monotonic `supersedes` chains and ensure canonical link records include `PRIMARY` schemes.
+
+## Migration Steps
+- [ ] Retire `StellaOps.Concelier.Merge.Tests` determinism suites once observation/linkset equivalents land.
+- [ ] Introduce new regression fixtures under `StellaOps.Concelier.Core.Tests` (shared via `StellaOps.Concelier.Testing`).
+- [ ] Wire test helpers to Mongo in-memory harness for end-to-end parity runs.
+- [ ] Update documentation (`docs/migration/no-merge.md`) with validation checklist once new tests are green.
+
+_Pending_: execute suites on a workstation with the .NET 10 preview SDK; local environment lacks a functioning CLI, so validation runs must happen downstream.

+# Surface.FS Consumer Integration Guide (Scheduler & Zastava)
+
+> **Updated:** 2025-11-07  
+> **Audience:** Scheduler Worker Guild • Zastava Observer Guild • Surface FS Guild  
+> **Depends on:** SURFACE-FS-02 (`FileSurfaceManifestStore`), Surface.Env/Surface.Secrets libraries.
+
+This note captures the minimum wiring required for downstream services now that `FileSurfaceManifestStore` and the manifest reader/writer abstractions have landed.
+
+## 1. Shared prerequisites
+
+- Reference `StellaOps.Scanner.Surface.FS` (net10.0) and call:
+  ```csharp
+  services
+      .AddSurfaceFileCache()
+      .AddSurfaceManifestStore();
+  ```
+  This binds `Surface:Cache` and `Surface:Manifest` (or `SCANNER_SURFACE_*` overrides).
+- Pull runtime settings via `ISurfaceEnvironment` to ensure tenants/endpoints line up with Scanner.
+- Cache root (`Surface:Cache:Root`) must be writable; manifests fall back to `<Root>/manifests` unless explicitly overridden with `Surface:Manifest:RootDirectory`.
+
+## 2. Manifest reader usage
+
+```csharp
+var reader = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<ISurfaceManifestReader>();
+var manifest = await reader.TryGetByUriAsync(surfaceUri, cancellationToken);
+```
+
+- Accept `cas://{bucket}/{prefix}/{tenant}/{hh}/{tt}/{digest}.json` pointers.
+- On cache miss, return `null`—callers should fall back to existing recompute paths.
+- All timestamps are stored in canonical UTC, and metadata dictionaries are alphabetically sorted to keep digests deterministic.
+
+## 3. Scheduler worker checklist (`SCHED-SURFACE-02`)
+
+1. Prefetch manifests during planning so reruns can skip redundant layers.
+2. Persist `{manifestUri, manifestDigest}` alongside run plans for traceability.
+3. Emit telemetry counters: `scheduler_surface_manifest_prefetch_total{result=hit|miss}`.
+4. Update `docs/SCHED-WORKER-16-201-PLANNER.md` with the new prefetch flow.
+
+## 4. Zastava observer checklist (`ZASTAVA-SURFACE-02`)
+
+1. Resolve manifest pointer from runtime drift events (`entrytrace.graph`, `layer.fragments` kinds).
+2. Enrich drift diagnostics with `manifestDigest` and `Artifacts[n].metadata`.
+3. Add failure metric `zastava_surface_manifest_failures_total{reason=not_found|fetch_error}`.
+4. Expand observer runbook (`docs/modules/zastava/operations/drift.md`) with Surface manifest troubleshooting.
+
+## 5. Testing guidance
+
+- Unit-test manifest prefetch/adoption with local `FileSurfaceManifestStore`; use temp directories for isolation.
+- For integration environments, smoke-test by pointing to the same `Surface:Manifest:RootDirectory` used by Scanner Worker and verifying pointer fetch before scan jobs execute.
+
+Coordinate status updates in the relevant `TASKS.md` entries and `docs/implplan/SPRINT_130_scanner_surface.md` once each guild completes its part. If you discover additional shared requirements, extend this guide so future consumers (CLI, Orchestrator) can reuse the flow.

+Manifest URIs follow the deterministic pattern:
+
+```
+cas://{bucket}/{prefix}/{tenant}/{digest[0..1]}/{digest[2..3]}/{digest}.json
+```
+
+The hex portion of the manifest digest is split into two directory levels to avoid hot directories. The same layout is mirrored on disk by the default `FileSurfaceManifestStore`, which keeps offline bundle sync trivial (copy the `manifests/` tree verbatim).
+
 ### 2.3 Payload Storage

 Large payloads (SBOM fragments, entry traces, runtime events) live in the same object store as manifests (RustFS/S3). Manifests record relative paths so offline bundles can copy both manifest and payload without modification.

 ## 3. APIs

-Surface.FS exposes a gRPC/HTTP API consumed by .NET clients:
+Surface.FS exposes .NET-first abstractions that hosts consume via DI:

-| Method | Description |
-|--------|-------------|
-| `PutManifest(PutManifestRequest)` | Stores manifest + optional payload. Idempotent via `digest`. |
-| `GetManifest(GetManifestRequest)` | Returns manifest metadata; 404 if missing. |
-| `GetPayload(GetPayloadRequest)` | Streams payload bytes (optionally decompressing). |
-| `ListManifests(ListManifestRequest)` | Enumerates manifests for tenant/kind with pagination. |
-| `DeleteManifest(DeleteManifestRequest)` | (Optional) Removes manifest/payload based on retention policies. |
+- `ISurfaceManifestWriter.PublishAsync(document)` – normalises artefact lists, computes the canonical SHA-256 digest, persists the manifest via the configured store, and returns a `SurfaceManifestPublishResult` containing the digest, canonical URI, and the normalised document.
+- `ISurfaceManifestReader.TryGetByUriAsync(uri)` – resolves a manifest pointer (e.g. `cas://surface-cache/manifests/...`) back into a `SurfaceManifestDocument`.
+- `ISurfaceManifestReader.TryGetByDigestAsync(digest)` – looks up a manifest by digest, scanning tenant prefixes when necessary (used by Offline Kit importers).
+- `ISurfaceCache` (`GetOrCreateAsync`, `TryGetAsync`, `SetAsync`) – lightweight content-addressable cache for hot artefacts (layer fragments, entry trace outputs) hosted on local disk.

-.NET client wraps these calls and handles retries using Polly policies.
+All components honour configuration bound from `Surface:Cache` and `Surface:Manifest` (or environment mirrors like `SCANNER_SURFACE_CACHE_ROOT`). `SurfaceManifestStoreOptions` controls the URI scheme/bucket/prefix and allows overriding the manifest directory while still defaulting to `<cacheRoot>/manifests`.

+- `ISurfaceManifestWriter` / `ISurfaceManifestReader` with the default `FileSurfaceManifestStore` implementation (single-writer semaphore, digest reuse, optional overwrite warning).
+- Deterministic pointer builder (`SurfaceManifestPathBuilder`) and options (`SurfaceManifestStoreOptions`, `SurfaceCacheOptions`) that align with `Surface.Env` configuration.
+- Local cache abstraction `ISurfaceCache` with default `FileSurfaceCache` implementation (uses `Surface:Cache:Root` / `SCANNER_SURFACE_CACHE_ROOT`, enforces per-key semaphores, stores bytes verbatim).
 - `SurfaceCacheKey` helper that normalises cache entries as `{namespace}/{tenant}/{sha256}`. EntryTrace graphs use the `entrytrace.graph` namespace so Worker/WebService/CLI can share cached results deterministically.
- Metrics: `surface_manifest_put_seconds`, `surface_manifest_cache_hit_total`, etc.
+- JSON serialiser (`SurfaceCacheJsonSerializer`) that applies camelCase naming, ignores nulls, and uses a stable encoder for reproducible hashing.
+- Metrics: `surface_manifest_published_total`, `surface_manifest_cache_hit_total`, plus host-specific counters wired via Scanner Worker instrumentation.

 ## 5. Retention & Eviction

- Manifests include optional `expiresAt`; Worker defaults to 30 days for SBOM fragments, 7 days for entry traces.
+- Manifests capture `generatedAt`; retention windows (30 days for SBOM fragments, 7 days for entry traces) are enforced by job configuration and object-store lifecycle policies. An `expiresAt` field is reserved for future use when automated eviction is introduced.
 - Background job `SurfaceCacheMaintenanceService` evicts local cache entries exceeding quota, oldest-first.
 - Object storage retention policies are managed by DevOps; library exposes metrics but does not auto-delete unless instructed.
