| ### 2.1 Responsibilities at the boundary | ||||
|  | ||||
| | Area | Services | Responsibilities under AOC | Forbidden under AOC | | ||||
| |------|----------|-----------------------------|---------------------| | ||||
| | **Ingestion (Concelier / Excititor)** | `StellaOps.Concelier.WebService`, `StellaOps.Excititor.WebService` | Fetch upstream advisories/VEX, verify signatures, compute linksets, append immutable documents to `advisory_raw` / `vex_raw`, emit observability signals, expose raw read APIs. | Computing severity, consensus, suppressions, or policy hints; merging upstream sources into a single derived record; mutating existing documents. | | ||||
| | **Policy & Overlay** | `StellaOps.Policy.Engine`, Scheduler | Join SBOM inventory with raw advisories/VEX, evaluate policies, issue `effective_finding_*` overlays, drive remediation workflows. | Writing to raw collections; bypassing guard scopes; running without recorded provenance. | | ||||
| | **Experience layers** | Console, CLI, Exporters | Surface raw facts + policy overlays; run `stella aoc verify`; render AOC dashboards and reports. | Accepting ingestion payloads that lack provenance or violate guard results. | | ||||
|  | ||||
| ### 2.2 Raw stores | ||||
|  | ||||
| | Collection | Purpose | Key fields | Notes | | ||||
| |------------|---------|------------|-------| | ||||
| | `advisory_raw` | Immutable vendor/ecosystem advisory documents. | `_id`, `tenant`, `source.*`, `upstream.*`, `content.raw`, `linkset`, `supersedes`. | Idempotent by `(source.vendor, upstream.upstream_id, upstream.content_hash)`. | | ||||
| | `vex_raw` | Immutable vendor VEX statements. | Mirrors `advisory_raw`; `identifiers.statements` summarises affected components. | Maintains supersedes chain identical to advisory flow. | | ||||
| | Change streams (`advisory_raw_stream`, `vex_raw_stream`) | Feed Policy Engine and Scheduler. | `operationType`, `documentKey`, `fullDocument`, `tenant`, `traceId`. | Scope filtered per tenant before delivery. | | ||||
|  | ||||

| ``` | ||||
|  | ||||
| --- | ||||
|  | ||||
| ### 2.4 Authority scopes & tenancy | ||||
|  | ||||
| | Scope | Holder | Purpose | Notes | | ||||
| |-------|--------|---------|-------| | ||||
| | `advisory:ingest` / `vex:ingest` | Concelier / Excititor collectors | Append raw documents through ingestion endpoints. | Paired with tenant claims; requests without tenant are rejected. | | ||||
| | `advisory:read` / `vex:read` | DevOps verify identity, CLI | Run `stella aoc verify` or call `/aoc/verify`. | Read-only; cannot mutate raw docs. | | ||||
| | `effective:write` | Policy Engine | Materialise `effective_finding_*` overlays. | Only Policy Engine identity may hold; ingestion contexts receive `ERR_AOC_006` if they attempt. | | ||||
| | `findings:read` | Console, CLI, exports | Consume derived findings. | Enforced by Gateway and downstream services. | | ||||
|  | ||||
| --- | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## 3 · Data & control flow highlights | ||||
|  | ||||
| 1. **Ingestion:** Concelier / Excititor connectors fetch upstream documents, compute linksets, and hand payloads to `AOCWriteGuard`. Guards validate schema, provenance, forbidden fields, supersedes pointers, and append-only rules before writing to Mongo. | ||||
| 2. **Verification:** `stella aoc verify` (CLI/CI) and `/aoc/verify` endpoints replay guard checks against stored documents, mapping `ERR_AOC_00x` codes to exit codes for automation. | ||||
| 3. **Policy evaluation:** Mongo change streams deliver tenant-scoped raw deltas. Policy Engine joins SBOM inventory (via BOM Index), executes deterministic policies, writes overlays, and emits events to Scheduler/Notify. | ||||
| 4. **Experience surfaces:** Console renders an AOC dashboard showing ingestion latency, guard violations, and supersedes depth. CLI exposes raw-document fetch helpers for auditing. Offline Kit bundles raw collections alongside guard configs to keep air-gapped installs verifiable. | ||||
| 5. **Observability:** All services emit `ingestion_write_total`, `aoc_violation_total{code}`, `ingestion_latency_seconds`, and trace spans `ingest.fetch`, `ingest.transform`, `ingest.write`, `aoc.guard`. Logs correlate via `traceId`, `tenant`, `source.vendor`, and `content_hash`. | ||||
|  | ||||
| --- | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## 4 · Offline & disaster readiness | ||||
|  | ||||
| - **Offline Kit:** Packages raw Mongo snapshots (`advisory_raw`, `vex_raw`) plus guard configuration and CLI verifier binaries so air-gapped sites can re-run AOC checks before promotion. | ||||
| - **Recovery:** Supersedes chains allow rollback to prior revisions without mutating documents. Disaster exercises must rehearse restoring from snapshot, replaying change streams into Policy Engine, and re-validating guard compliance. | ||||
| - **Migration:** Legacy normalised fields are moved to temporary views during cutover; ingestion runtime removes writes once guard-enforced path is live (see [Migration playbook](../ingestion/aggregation-only-contract.md#8-migration-playbook)). | ||||

| # Policy Engine Architecture (v2) | ||||
|  | ||||
| > **Ownership:** Policy Guild • Platform Guild   | ||||
| > **Services:** `StellaOps.Policy.Engine` (Minimal API + worker host)   | ||||
| > **Data Stores:** MongoDB (`policies`, `policy_runs`, `effective_finding_*`), Object storage (explain bundles), optional NATS/Mongo queue   | ||||
| > **Related docs:** [Policy overview](../policy/overview.md), [DSL](../policy/dsl.md), [Lifecycle](../policy/lifecycle.md), [Runs](../policy/runs.md), [REST API](../api/policy.md), [Policy CLI](../cli/policy.md), [Architecture overview](../architecture/overview.md), [AOC reference](../ingestion/aggregation-only-contract.md) | ||||
|  | ||||
| This dossier describes the internal structure of the Policy Engine service delivered in Epic 2. It focuses on module boundaries, deterministic evaluation, orchestration, and integration contracts with Concelier, Excititor, SBOM Service, Authority, Scheduler, and Observability stacks. | ||||
|  | ||||
| The service operates strictly downstream of the **Aggregation-Only Contract (AOC)**. It consumes immutable `advisory_raw` and `vex_raw` documents emitted by Concelier and Excititor, derives findings inside Policy-owned collections, and never mutates ingestion stores. Refer to the architecture overview and AOC reference for system-wide guardrails and provenance obligations. | ||||
|  | ||||
| --- | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## 1 · Responsibilities & Constraints | ||||
|  | ||||
| - Compile and evaluate `stella-dsl@1` policy packs into deterministic verdicts. | ||||
| - Join SBOM inventory, Concelier advisories, and Excititor VEX evidence via canonical linksets and equivalence tables. | ||||
| - Materialise effective findings (`effective_finding_{policyId}`) with append-only history and produce explain traces. | ||||
| - Operate incrementally: react to change streams (advisory/vex/SBOM deltas) with ≤ 5 min SLA. | ||||
| - Provide simulations with diff summaries for UI/CLI workflows without modifying state. | ||||
| - Enforce strict determinism guard (no wall-clock, RNG, network beyond allow-listed services) and RBAC + tenancy via Authority scopes. | ||||
| - Support sealed/air-gapped deployments with offline bundles and sealed-mode hints. | ||||
|  | ||||
| Non-goals: policy authoring UI (handled by Console), ingestion or advisory normalisation (Concelier), VEX consensus (Excititor), runtime enforcement (Zastava). | ||||

| Key notes: | ||||
|  | ||||
| - API host exposes lifecycle, run, simulate, findings endpoints with DPoP-bound OAuth enforcement. | ||||
| - Orchestrator manages run scheduling/fairness; writes run tickets to queue, leases jobs to worker pool. | ||||
| - Workers evaluate policies using cached IR; join external services via tenant-scoped clients; pull immutable advisories/VEX from the raw stores; write derived overlays to Mongo and optional explain bundles to blob storage. | ||||
| - Observability (metrics/traces/logs) integrated via OpenTelemetry (not shown). | ||||
|  | ||||
| --- | ||||
|  | ||||
| ### 2.1 · AOC inputs & immutability | ||||
|  | ||||
| - **Raw-only reads.** Evaluation workers access `advisory_raw` / `vex_raw` via tenant-scoped Mongo clients or the Concelier/Excititor raw APIs. No Policy Engine component is permitted to mutate these collections. | ||||
| - **Guarded ingestion.** `AOCWriteGuard` rejects forbidden fields before data reaches the raw stores. Policy tests replay known `ERR_AOC_00x` violations to confirm ingestion compliance. | ||||
| - **Change streams as contract.** Run orchestration stores resumable cursors for raw change streams. Replays of these cursors (e.g., after failover) must yield identical materialisation outcomes. | ||||
| - **Derived stores only.** All severity, consensus, and suppression state lives in `effective_finding_*` collections and explain bundles owned by Policy Engine. Provenance fields link back to raw document IDs so auditors can trace every verdict. | ||||
| - **Authority scopes.** Only the Policy Engine service identity holds `effective:write`. Ingestion identities retain `advisory:*`/`vex:*` scopes, ensuring separation of duties enforced by Authority and the API Gateway. | ||||
|  | ||||
| --- | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## 3 · Module Breakdown | ||||
|  | ||||
| | Module | Responsibility | Notes | | ||||
| |--------|----------------|-------| | ||||
| | **Configuration** (`Configuration/`) | Bind settings (Mongo URIs, queue options, service URLs, sealed mode), validate on start. | Strict schema; fails fast on missing secrets. | | ||||
| | **Authority Client** (`Authority/`) | Acquire tokens, enforce scopes, perform DPoP key rotation. | Only service identity uses `effective:write`. | | ||||
| | **DSL Compiler** (`Dsl/`) | Parse, canonicalise, IR generation, checksum caching. | Uses Roslyn-like pipeline; caches by `policyId+version+hash`. | | ||||
| | **Selection Layer** (`Selection/`) | Batch SBOM ↔ advisory ↔ VEX joiners; apply equivalence tables; support incremental cursors. | Deterministic ordering (SBOM → advisory → VEX). | | ||||
| | **Evaluator** (`Evaluation/`) | Execute IR with first-match semantics, compute severity/trust/reachability weights, record rule hits. | Stateless; all inputs provided by selection layer. | | ||||
| | **Materialiser** (`Materialization/`) | Upsert effective findings, append history, manage explain bundle exports. | Mongo transactions per SBOM chunk. | | ||||
| | **Orchestrator** (`Runs/`) | Change-stream ingestion, fairness, retry/backoff, queue writer. | Works with Scheduler Models DTOs. | | ||||
| | **API** (`Api/`) | Minimal API endpoints, DTO validation, problem responses, idempotency. | Generated clients for CLI/UI. | | ||||
| | **Observability** (`Telemetry/`) | Metrics (`policy_run_seconds`, `rules_fired_total`), traces, structured logs. | Sampled rule-hit logs with redaction. | | ||||
| | **Offline Adapter** (`Offline/`) | Bundle export/import (policies, simulations, runs), sealed-mode enforcement. | Uses DSSE signing via Signer service. | | ||||
|  | ||||
| --- | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## 4 · Data Model & Persistence | ||||
|  | ||||
| ### 4.1 Collections | ||||
|  | ||||
| - `policies` – policy versions, metadata, lifecycle states, simulation artefact references. | ||||
| - `policy_runs` – run records, inputs (cursors, env), stats, determinism hash, run status. | ||||
| - `policy_run_events` – append-only log (queued, leased, completed, failed, canceled, replay). | ||||
| - `effective_finding_{policyId}` – current verdict snapshot per finding. | ||||
| - `effective_finding_{policyId}_history` – append-only history (previous verdicts, timestamps, runId). | ||||
| - `policy_reviews` – review comments/decisions. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ### 4.2 Schema Highlights | ||||
|  | ||||
| - Run records include `changeDigests` (hash of advisory/VEX inputs) for replay verification. | ||||
| - Effective findings store provenance references (`advisory_raw_ids`, `vex_raw_ids`, `sbom_component_id`). | ||||
| - All collections include `tenant`, `policyId`, `version`, `createdAt`, `updatedAt`, `traceId` for audit. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ### 4.3 Indexing | ||||
|  | ||||
| - Compound indexes: `{tenant, policyId, status}` on `policies`; `{tenant, policyId, status, startedAt}` on `policy_runs`; `{policyId, sbomId, findingKey}` on findings. | ||||
| - TTL indexes on transient explain bundle references (configurable). | ||||
|  | ||||

| ``` | ||||
|  | ||||
| Determinism guard instrumentation wraps the evaluator, rejecting access to forbidden APIs and ensuring batch ordering remains stable. | ||||
|  | ||||
| --- | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## 6 · Run Orchestration & Incremental Flow | ||||
|  | ||||
| - **Change streams:** Concelier and Excititor publish document changes to the scheduler queue (`policy.trigger.delta`). Payload includes `tenant`, `source`, `linkset digests`, `cursor`. | ||||
| - **Orchestrator:** Maintains per-tenant backlog; merges deltas until time/size thresholds met, then enqueues `PolicyRunRequest`. | ||||
| - **Queue:** Mongo queue with lease; each job assigned `leaseDuration`, `maxAttempts`. | ||||
| - **Workers:** Lease jobs, execute evaluation pipeline, report status (success/failure/canceled). Failures with recoverable errors requeue with backoff; determinism or schema violations mark job `failed` and raise incident event. | ||||
| - **Fairness:** Round-robin per `{tenant, policyId}`; emergency jobs (`priority=emergency`) jump queue but limited via circuit breaker. | ||||
| - **Replay:** On demand, orchestrator rehydrates run via stored cursors and exports sealed bundle for audit/CI determinism checks. | ||||
|  | ||||
| --- | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## 7 · Security & Tenancy | ||||
|  | ||||
| - **Auth:** All API calls pass through Authority gateway; DPoP tokens enforced for service-to-service (Policy Engine service principal). CLI/UI tokens include scope claims. | ||||
| - **Scopes:** Mutations require `policy:*` scopes corresponding to action; `effective:write` restricted to service identity. | ||||
| - **Tenancy:** All queries filter by `tenant`. Service identity uses `tenant-global` for shared policies; cross-tenant reads prohibited unless `policy:tenant-admin` scope present. | ||||
| - **Secrets:** Configuration loaded via environment variables or sealed secrets; runtime avoids writing secrets to logs. | ||||
| - **Determinism guard:** Static analyzer prevents referencing forbidden namespaces; runtime guard intercepts `DateTime.Now`, `Random`, `Guid`, HTTP clients beyond allow-list. | ||||
| - **Sealed mode:** Global flag disables outbound network except allow-listed internal hosts; watchers fail fast if unexpected egress attempted. | ||||
|  | ||||
| --- | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## 8 · Observability | ||||
|  | ||||
| - Metrics: | ||||
|   - `policy_run_seconds{mode,tenant,policy}` (histogram) | ||||
|   - `policy_run_queue_depth{tenant}` | ||||
|   - `policy_rules_fired_total{policy,rule}` | ||||
|   - `policy_vex_overrides_total{policy,vendor}` | ||||
| - Logs: Structured JSON with `traceId`, `policyId`, `version`, `runId`, `tenant`, `phase`. Guard ensures no sensitive data leakage. | ||||
| - Traces: Spans `policy.select`, `policy.evaluate`, `policy.materialize`, `policy.simulate`. Trace IDs surfaced to CLI/UI. | ||||
| - Incident mode toggles 100 % sampling and extended retention windows. | ||||
|  | ||||
| --- | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## 9 · Offline / Bundle Integration | ||||
|  | ||||
| - **Imports:** Offline Kit delivers policy packs, advisory/VEX snapshots, SBOM updates. Policy Engine ingests bundles via `offline import`. | ||||
| - **Exports:** `stella policy bundle export` packages policy, IR digest, simulations, run metadata; UI provides export triggers. | ||||
| - **Sealed hints:** Explain traces annotate when cached values used (EPSS, KEV). Run records mark `env.sealed=true`. | ||||
| - **Sync cadence:** Operators perform monthly bundle sync; Policy Engine warns when snapshots > configured staleness (default 14 days). | ||||
|  | ||||
| --- | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## 10 · Testing & Quality | ||||
|  | ||||
| - **Unit tests:** DSL parsing, evaluator semantics, guard enforcement. | ||||
| - **Integration tests:** Joiners with sample SBOM/advisory/VEX data; materialisation with deterministic ordering; API contract tests generated from OpenAPI. | ||||
| - **Property tests:** Ensure rule evaluation deterministic across permutations. | ||||
| - **Golden tests:** Replay recorded runs, compare determinism hash. | ||||
| - **Performance tests:** Evaluate 100k component / 1M advisory dataset under warmed caches (<30 s full run). | ||||
| - **Chaos hooks:** Optional toggles to simulate upstream latency/failures; used in staging. | ||||
|  | ||||
| --- | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## 11 · Compliance Checklist | ||||
|  | ||||
| - [ ] **Determinism guard enforced:** Static analyzer + runtime guard block wall-clock, RNG, unauthorized network calls. | ||||
| - [ ] **Incremental correctness:** Change-stream cursors stored and replayed during tests; unit/integration coverage for dedupe. | ||||
| - [ ] **RBAC validated:** Endpoint scope requirements match Authority configuration; integration tests cover deny/allow. | ||||
| - [ ] **AOC separation enforced:** No code path writes to `advisory_raw` / `vex_raw`; integration tests capture `ERR_AOC_00x` handling; read-only clients verified. | ||||
| - [ ] **Effective findings ownership:** Only Policy Engine identity holds `effective:write`; unauthorized callers receive `ERR_AOC_006`. | ||||
| - [ ] **Observability wired:** Metrics/traces/logs exported with correlation IDs; dashboards include `aoc_violation_total` and ingest latency panels. | ||||
| - [ ] **Offline parity:** Sealed-mode tests executed; bundle import/export flows documented and validated. | ||||
| - [ ] **Schema docs synced:** DTOs match Scheduler Models (`SCHED-MODELS-20-001`); JSON schemas committed. | ||||
| - [ ] **Security reviews complete:** Threat model (including queue poisoning, determinism bypass, data exfiltration) documented; mitigations in place. | ||||
| - [ ] **Disaster recovery rehearsed:** Run replay+rollback procedures tested and recorded. | ||||

| # Policy Engine Architecture (v2) | ||||
|  | ||||
| > **Ownership:** Policy Guild • Platform Guild   | ||||
| > **Services:** `StellaOps.Policy.Engine` (Minimal API + worker host)   | ||||
| > **Data Stores:** MongoDB (`policies`, `policy_runs`, `effective_finding_*`), Object storage (explain bundles), optional NATS/Mongo queue   | ||||
| > **Related docs:** [Policy overview](../policy/overview.md), [DSL](../policy/dsl.md), [Lifecycle](../policy/lifecycle.md), [Runs](../policy/runs.md), [REST API](../api/policy.md), [Policy CLI](../cli/policy.md), [Architecture overview](../architecture/overview.md), [AOC reference](../ingestion/aggregation-only-contract.md) | ||||
|  | ||||
| This dossier describes the internal structure of the Policy Engine service delivered in Epic 2. It focuses on module boundaries, deterministic evaluation, orchestration, and integration contracts with Concelier, Excititor, SBOM Service, Authority, Scheduler, and Observability stacks. | ||||
|  | ||||
| The service operates strictly downstream of the **Aggregation-Only Contract (AOC)**. It consumes immutable `advisory_raw` and `vex_raw` documents emitted by Concelier and Excititor, derives findings inside Policy-owned collections, and never mutates ingestion stores. Refer to the architecture overview and AOC reference for system-wide guardrails and provenance obligations. | ||||
|  | ||||
| --- | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## 1 · Responsibilities & Constraints | ||||
|  | ||||
| - Compile and evaluate `stella-dsl@1` policy packs into deterministic verdicts. | ||||
| - Join SBOM inventory, Concelier advisories, and Excititor VEX evidence via canonical linksets and equivalence tables. | ||||
| - Materialise effective findings (`effective_finding_{policyId}`) with append-only history and produce explain traces. | ||||
| - Operate incrementally: react to change streams (advisory/vex/SBOM deltas) with ≤ 5 min SLA. | ||||
| - Provide simulations with diff summaries for UI/CLI workflows without modifying state. | ||||
| - Enforce strict determinism guard (no wall-clock, RNG, network beyond allow-listed services) and RBAC + tenancy via Authority scopes. | ||||
| - Support sealed/air-gapped deployments with offline bundles and sealed-mode hints. | ||||
|  | ||||
| Non-goals: policy authoring UI (handled by Console), ingestion or advisory normalisation (Concelier), VEX consensus (Excititor), runtime enforcement (Zastava). | ||||

| Key notes: | ||||
|  | ||||
| - API host exposes lifecycle, run, simulate, findings endpoints with DPoP-bound OAuth enforcement. | ||||
| - Orchestrator manages run scheduling/fairness; writes run tickets to queue, leases jobs to worker pool. | ||||
| - Workers evaluate policies using cached IR; join external services via tenant-scoped clients; pull immutable advisories/VEX from the raw stores; write derived overlays to Mongo and optional explain bundles to blob storage. | ||||
| - Observability (metrics/traces/logs) integrated via OpenTelemetry (not shown). | ||||
|  | ||||
| --- | ||||
|  | ||||
| ### 2.1 · AOC inputs & immutability | ||||
|  | ||||
| - **Raw-only reads.** Evaluation workers access `advisory_raw` / `vex_raw` via tenant-scoped Mongo clients or the Concelier/Excititor raw APIs. No Policy Engine component is permitted to mutate these collections. | ||||
| - **Guarded ingestion.** `AOCWriteGuard` rejects forbidden fields before data reaches the raw stores. Policy tests replay known `ERR_AOC_00x` violations to confirm ingestion compliance. | ||||
| - **Change streams as contract.** Run orchestration stores resumable cursors for raw change streams. Replays of these cursors (e.g., after failover) must yield identical materialisation outcomes. | ||||
| - **Derived stores only.** All severity, consensus, and suppression state lives in `effective_finding_*` collections and explain bundles owned by Policy Engine. Provenance fields link back to raw document IDs so auditors can trace every verdict. | ||||
| - **Authority scopes.** Only the Policy Engine service identity holds `effective:write`. Ingestion identities retain `advisory:*`/`vex:*` scopes, ensuring separation of duties enforced by Authority and the API Gateway. | ||||
|  | ||||
| --- | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## 3 · Module Breakdown | ||||
|  | ||||
| | Module | Responsibility | Notes | | ||||
| |--------|----------------|-------| | ||||
| | **Configuration** (`Configuration/`) | Bind settings (Mongo URIs, queue options, service URLs, sealed mode), validate on start. | Strict schema; fails fast on missing secrets. | | ||||
| | **Authority Client** (`Authority/`) | Acquire tokens, enforce scopes, perform DPoP key rotation. | Only service identity uses `effective:write`. | | ||||
| | **DSL Compiler** (`Dsl/`) | Parse, canonicalise, IR generation, checksum caching. | Uses Roslyn-like pipeline; caches by `policyId+version+hash`. | | ||||
| | **Selection Layer** (`Selection/`) | Batch SBOM ↔ advisory ↔ VEX joiners; apply equivalence tables; support incremental cursors. | Deterministic ordering (SBOM → advisory → VEX). | | ||||
| | **Evaluator** (`Evaluation/`) | Execute IR with first-match semantics, compute severity/trust/reachability weights, record rule hits. | Stateless; all inputs provided by selection layer. | | ||||
| | **Materialiser** (`Materialization/`) | Upsert effective findings, append history, manage explain bundle exports. | Mongo transactions per SBOM chunk. | | ||||
| | **Orchestrator** (`Runs/`) | Change-stream ingestion, fairness, retry/backoff, queue writer. | Works with Scheduler Models DTOs. | | ||||
| | **API** (`Api/`) | Minimal API endpoints, DTO validation, problem responses, idempotency. | Generated clients for CLI/UI. | | ||||
| | **Observability** (`Telemetry/`) | Metrics (`policy_run_seconds`, `rules_fired_total`), traces, structured logs. | Sampled rule-hit logs with redaction. | | ||||
| | **Offline Adapter** (`Offline/`) | Bundle export/import (policies, simulations, runs), sealed-mode enforcement. | Uses DSSE signing via Signer service. | | ||||
|  | ||||
| --- | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## 4 · Data Model & Persistence | ||||
|  | ||||
| ### 4.1 Collections | ||||
|  | ||||
| - `policies` – policy versions, metadata, lifecycle states, simulation artefact references. | ||||
| - `policy_runs` – run records, inputs (cursors, env), stats, determinism hash, run status. | ||||
| - `policy_run_events` – append-only log (queued, leased, completed, failed, canceled, replay). | ||||
| - `effective_finding_{policyId}` – current verdict snapshot per finding. | ||||
| - `effective_finding_{policyId}_history` – append-only history (previous verdicts, timestamps, runId). | ||||
| - `policy_reviews` – review comments/decisions. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ### 4.2 Schema Highlights | ||||
|  | ||||
| - Run records include `changeDigests` (hash of advisory/VEX inputs) for replay verification. | ||||
| - Effective findings store provenance references (`advisory_raw_ids`, `vex_raw_ids`, `sbom_component_id`). | ||||
| - All collections include `tenant`, `policyId`, `version`, `createdAt`, `updatedAt`, `traceId` for audit. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ### 4.3 Indexing | ||||
|  | ||||
| - Compound indexes: `{tenant, policyId, status}` on `policies`; `{tenant, policyId, status, startedAt}` on `policy_runs`; `{policyId, sbomId, findingKey}` on findings. | ||||
| - TTL indexes on transient explain bundle references (configurable). | ||||

| Determinism guard instrumentation wraps the evaluator, rejecting access to forbidden APIs and ensuring batch ordering remains stable. | ||||
|  | ||||
| --- | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## 6 · Run Orchestration & Incremental Flow | ||||
|  | ||||
| - **Change streams:** Concelier and Excititor publish document changes to the scheduler queue (`policy.trigger.delta`). Payload includes `tenant`, `source`, `linkset digests`, `cursor`. | ||||
| - **Orchestrator:** Maintains per-tenant backlog; merges deltas until time/size thresholds met, then enqueues `PolicyRunRequest`. | ||||
| - **Queue:** Mongo queue with lease; each job assigned `leaseDuration`, `maxAttempts`. | ||||
| - **Workers:** Lease jobs, execute evaluation pipeline, report status (success/failure/canceled). Failures with recoverable errors requeue with backoff; determinism or schema violations mark job `failed` and raise incident event. | ||||
| - **Fairness:** Round-robin per `{tenant, policyId}`; emergency jobs (`priority=emergency`) jump queue but limited via circuit breaker. | ||||
| - **Replay:** On demand, orchestrator rehydrates run via stored cursors and exports sealed bundle for audit/CI determinism checks. | ||||
|  | ||||
| --- | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## 7 · Security & Tenancy | ||||
|  | ||||
| - **Auth:** All API calls pass through Authority gateway; DPoP tokens enforced for service-to-service (Policy Engine service principal). CLI/UI tokens include scope claims. | ||||
| - **Scopes:** Mutations require `policy:*` scopes corresponding to action; `effective:write` restricted to service identity. | ||||
| - **Tenancy:** All queries filter by `tenant`. Service identity uses `tenant-global` for shared policies; cross-tenant reads prohibited unless `policy:tenant-admin` scope present. | ||||
| - **Secrets:** Configuration loaded via environment variables or sealed secrets; runtime avoids writing secrets to logs. | ||||
| - **Determinism guard:** Static analyzer prevents referencing forbidden namespaces; runtime guard intercepts `DateTime.Now`, `Random`, `Guid`, HTTP clients beyond allow-list. | ||||
| - **Sealed mode:** Global flag disables outbound network except allow-listed internal hosts; watchers fail fast if unexpected egress attempted. | ||||

| ## 8 · Observability | ||||
|  | ||||
| - Metrics: | ||||
|   - `policy_run_seconds{mode,tenant,policy}` (histogram) | ||||
|   - `policy_run_queue_depth{tenant}` | ||||
|   - `policy_rules_fired_total{policy,rule}` | ||||
|   - `policy_vex_overrides_total{policy,vendor}` | ||||
| - Logs: Structured JSON with `traceId`, `policyId`, `version`, `runId`, `tenant`, `phase`. Guard ensures no sensitive data leakage. | ||||
| - Traces: Spans `policy.select`, `policy.evaluate`, `policy.materialize`, `policy.simulate`. Trace IDs surfaced to CLI/UI. | ||||
| - Incident mode toggles 100 % sampling and extended retention windows. | ||||
|  | ||||

|  | ||||
| ## 9 · Offline / Bundle Integration | ||||
|  | ||||
| - **Imports:** Offline Kit delivers policy packs, advisory/VEX snapshots, SBOM updates. Policy Engine ingests bundles via `offline import`. | ||||
| - **Exports:** `stella policy bundle export` packages policy, IR digest, simulations, run metadata; UI provides export triggers. | ||||
| - **Sealed hints:** Explain traces annotate when cached values used (EPSS, KEV). Run records mark `env.sealed=true`. | ||||
| - **Sync cadence:** Operators perform monthly bundle sync; Policy Engine warns when snapshots > configured staleness (default 14 days). | ||||
|  | ||||
| --- | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## 10 · Testing & Quality | ||||
|  | ||||
| - **Unit tests:** DSL parsing, evaluator semantics, guard enforcement. | ||||
| - **Integration tests:** Joiners with sample SBOM/advisory/VEX data; materialisation with deterministic ordering; API contract tests generated from OpenAPI. | ||||
| - **Property tests:** Ensure rule evaluation deterministic across permutations. | ||||
| - **Golden tests:** Replay recorded runs, compare determinism hash. | ||||
| - **Performance tests:** Evaluate 100k component / 1M advisory dataset under warmed caches (<30 s full run). | ||||
| - **Chaos hooks:** Optional toggles to simulate upstream latency/failures; used in staging. | ||||
|  | ||||

|  | ||||
| ## 11 · Compliance Checklist | ||||
|  | ||||
| - [ ] **Determinism guard enforced:** Static analyzer + runtime guard block wall-clock, RNG, unauthorized network calls. | ||||
| - [ ] **Incremental correctness:** Change-stream cursors stored and replayed during tests; unit/integration coverage for dedupe. | ||||
| - [ ] **RBAC validated:** Endpoint scope requirements match Authority configuration; integration tests cover deny/allow. | ||||
| - [ ] **AOC separation enforced:** No code path writes to `advisory_raw` / `vex_raw`; integration tests capture `ERR_AOC_00x` handling; read-only clients verified. | ||||
| - [ ] **Effective findings ownership:** Only Policy Engine identity holds `effective:write`; unauthorized callers receive `ERR_AOC_006`. | ||||
| - [ ] **Observability wired:** Metrics/traces/logs exported with correlation IDs; dashboards include `aoc_violation_total` and ingest latency panels. | ||||
| - [ ] **Offline parity:** Sealed-mode tests executed; bundle import/export flows documented and validated. | ||||
| - [ ] **Schema docs synced:** DTOs match Scheduler Models (`SCHED-MODELS-20-001`); JSON schemas committed. | ||||
| - [ ] **Security reviews complete:** Threat model (including queue poisoning, determinism bypass, data exfiltration) documented; mitigations in place. | ||||
| - [ ] **Disaster recovery rehearsed:** Run replay+rollback procedures tested and recorded. | ||||
