 | 2026-01-05 | DET-015 complete: VexLens module refactored - 20 production files (caching, storage, normalization, orchestration, API, consensus, trust, persistence) with TimeProvider and IGuidProvider injection. Note: Pre-existing build errors in NoiseGateService.cs and NoiseGatingApiModels.cs unrelated to determinism changes. | Agent |
 | 2026-01-05 | DET-017 complete: Zastava module refactored - Agent (RuntimeEventsClient, HealthCheckHostedService, RuntimeEventDispatchService, RuntimeEventBuffer), Observer (RuntimeEventDispatchService, RuntimeEventBuffer, ProcSnapshotCollector, EbpfProbeManager), Webhook (WebhookCertificateHealthCheck) with TimeProvider and IGuidProvider injection. | Agent |
 | 2026-01-05 | DET-011 in progress: Scanner module refactoring - 14 production files refactored (RiskReport.cs, FalsifiabilityGenerator.cs, SourceConnectionTester.cs, SourceTriggerDispatcher.cs, DockerConnectionTester.cs, ZastavaConnectionTester.cs, GitConnectionTester.cs, PostgresVulnSurfaceRepository.cs, PostgresProofSpineRepository.cs, PostgresScanMetricsRepository.cs, RuntimeEventRepository.cs, PostgresFuncProofRepository.cs, PostgresIdempotencyKeyRepository.cs, SlicePullService.cs). Added Determinism.Abstractions references to 4 Scanner sub-projects. | Agent |
+| 2026-01-06 | DET-011 continued: Source handlers refactored - DockerSourceHandler.cs, GitSourceHandler.cs, ZastavaSourceHandler.cs, CliSourceHandler.cs (all DateTimeOffset.UtcNow calls now use TimeProvider). Service layer: SbomSourceService.cs, SbomSourceRepository.cs, SbomSourceRunRepository.cs. Worker files: ScanMetricsCollector.cs (TimeProvider+IGuidProvider), BinaryFindingMapper.cs, PoEOrchestrator.cs, FidelityMetricsService.cs. Also fixed pre-existing build errors in Reachability and CallGraph modules. | Agent |
+| 2026-01-06 | DET-011 continued: Scanner Storage refactored - PostgresWitnessRepository.cs (3 usages), FnDriftCalculator.cs (2 usages), S3ArtifactObjectStore.cs (2 usages), EpssReplayService.cs (2 usages), VulnSurfaceBuilder.cs (1 usage). Scanner Services refactored - ProofAwareVexGenerator.cs (2 usages), SurfaceAnalyzer.cs (1 usage), SurfaceEnvironmentBuilder.cs (1 usage), VexCandidateEmitter.cs (5 usages), FuncProofBuilder.cs (1 usage), EtwTraceCollector.cs (1 usage), EbpfTraceCollector.cs (1 usage), TraceIngestionService.cs (1 usage), IncrementalReachabilityService.cs (2 usages). All modified libraries verified to build successfully. | Agent |
+| 2026-01-06 | DET-011 continued: Scanner domain/service refactoring - SbomSource.cs (rich domain entity with 13 methods refactored to accept TimeProvider parameter), SbomSourceRun.cs (6 methods refactored, DurationMs property converted to GetDurationMs method), SbomSourceService.cs (all callers updated), SbomSourceTests.cs (FakeTimeProvider added, all tests updated), SourceContracts.cs (ConnectionTestResult factory methods updated), CliConnectionTester.cs (TimeProvider injection added), ZeroDayWindowTracking.cs (ZeroDayWindowCalculator now has TimeProvider constructor), ObservedSliceGenerator.cs (TimeProvider injection added). 50+ usages remain in Triage entities and other Scanner libraries requiring entity-level pattern decisions. | Agent |
+| 2026-01-06 | DET-011 continued: Scanner Triage entities refactored (10 files) - TriageFinding, TriageDecision, TriageScan, TriageAttestation, TriageEffectiveVex, TriageEvidenceArtifact, TriagePolicyDecision, TriageReachabilityResult, TriageRiskResult, TriageSnapshot - removed DateTimeOffset.UtcNow and Guid.NewGuid() defaults, made properties `required`. Reachability module - SliceCache.cs (TimeProvider injection), EdgeBundle.cs (Build method), MiniMapExtractor.cs (Extract method + CreateNotFoundMap), ReachabilityStackEvaluator.cs (Evaluate method). EntryTrace Risk module - RiskScore.cs (Zero/Critical/High/Medium/Low factory methods), CompositeRiskScorer.cs (TimeProvider constructor, 5 usages), RiskAssessment.Empty, FleetRiskSummary.CreateEmpty. EntryTrace Semantic - SemanticEntryTraceAnalyzer.cs (TimeProvider constructor). Scanner Core - ScanManifest.cs (CreateBuilder), ProofBundleWriter.cs (TimeProvider constructor), ScanManifestSigner.cs (ManifestVerificationResult factories). Storage/Emit/Diff models - ClassificationChangeModels.cs, ScanMetricsModels.cs, ComponentDiffModels.cs, BomIndexBuilder.cs, ISourceTypeHandler.cs, SurfaceEnvironmentSettings.cs, PathExplanationModels.cs, BoundaryExtractionContext.cs - all converted from default initializers to `required` properties. | Agent |
+| 2026-01-06 | DET-011 continued: Additional Scanner production files refactored - IAssumptionCollector.cs/AssumptionCollector (TimeProvider constructor), FalsificationConditions.cs/DefaultFalsificationConditionGenerator (TimeProvider constructor), SbomDiffEngine.cs (TimeProvider constructor), ReachabilityUnionWriter.cs (TimeProvider constructor, WriteMetaAsync), PostgresReachabilityCache.cs (TimeProvider constructor, GetAsync TTL calculation, SetAsync expiry calculation). Scanner __Libraries reduced from 61 to 35 DateTimeOffset.UtcNow matches. Remaining are in: Binary analysis (6 files), Language analyzers (Java/DotNet/Deno/Native - 5 files), Benchmark/Claims (2 files), SmartDiff VexEvidence.IsValid property comparison, and test files. | Agent |
+| 2026-01-06 | DET-011 continued: Binary analysis module refactored (IFingerprintIndex.cs - InMemoryFingerprintIndex with TimeProvider constructor + _lastUpdated, VulnerableFingerprintIndex with TimeProvider, BinaryIntelligenceAnalyzer.cs, VulnerableFunctionMatcher.cs, BinaryAnalysisResult.cs/BinaryAnalysisResultBuilder, FingerprintCorpusBuilder.cs, BaselineAnalyzer.cs, EpssEvidence.cs). Language analyzers refactored (DotNetCallgraphBuilder.cs, JavaCallgraphBuilder.cs, NativeCallgraphBuilder.cs, DenoRuntimeTraceRecorder.cs, JavaEntrypointAocWriter.cs). Core services refactored (CbomAggregationService.cs, SecretDetectionSettings.cs factory methods). Benchmark/Claims refactored (MetricsCalculator.cs, BattlecardGenerator.cs). SmartDiff VexEvidence.cs - added IsValidAt(DateTimeOffset) method, IsValid property uses TimeProvider. Risk module fixed (RiskExplainer, RiskAggregator constructors). BoundaryExtractionContext.cs - restored deprecated Empty property, added CreateEmpty factory. All Scanner __Libraries now build successfully with 3 acceptable remaining usages (test file, parsing fallback, existing TimeProvider fallback). DET-011 COMPLETE. | Agent |
+| 2026-01-06 | DET-018 Final audit complete. Sprint scope was __Libraries modules. Remaining in codebase: Scanner.WebService (~40 usages), Scanner.Analyzers.Native (~4 usages), plus other modules (AdvisoryAI 30+, Authority 40+, AirGap 12+, Attestor 25+, Cli 80+, Concelier 15+, etc.) requiring follow-up sprints. DET-019/020/021 created for follow-up work. | Agent |
 
 ## Decisions & Risks
 - **Decision:** Defer determinism refactoring from MAINT audit to dedicated sprint for focused, systematic approach.
 - **Risk:** Large scope (~1526+ changes). Mitigate by module-by-module refactoring with incremental commits.
 - **Risk:** Breaking changes if TimeProvider/IGuidProvider not properly injected. Mitigate with test coverage.
+- **Risk (DET-011):** Scanner Triage entities have default property initializers (e.g., `CreatedAt = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow`). Removing defaults requires caller-side changes across all entity instantiation sites. Decision needed: remove defaults vs. leave as documentation debt for later phase.
 
 ## Next Checkpoints
 - 2026-01-05: DET-001 audit complete, prioritized task list.

-## 5. Policy patterns
+## 5. Configuration API
+
+The secret detection feature provides a REST API for per-tenant configuration:
+
+### 5.1 Settings Endpoints
+
+```
+GET    /api/v1/tenants/{tenantId}/secrets/config/settings
+PUT    /api/v1/tenants/{tenantId}/secrets/config/settings
+PATCH  /api/v1/tenants/{tenantId}/secrets/config/settings
+```
+
+### 5.2 Exception Pattern Endpoints
+
+```
+GET    /api/v1/tenants/{tenantId}/secrets/config/exceptions
+POST   /api/v1/tenants/{tenantId}/secrets/config/exceptions
+DELETE /api/v1/tenants/{tenantId}/secrets/config/exceptions/{exceptionId}
+```
+
+### 5.3 Revelation Policy
+
+Control how detected secrets appear in different contexts:
+
+| Policy | Display | Use Case |
+|--------|---------|----------|
+| `FullMask` | `[REDACTED]` | Maximum security, compliance reports |
+| `PartialReveal` | `AKIA****WXYZ` | Default for UI, allows identification |
+| `FullReveal` | Full value | Incident response (requires elevated permissions) |
+
+### 5.4 Alert Configuration
+
+Configure alerting for secret findings via the Notify service:
+
+- **Destinations**: Slack, Teams, Email, Webhook, PagerDuty
+- **Rate Limiting**: Max alerts per scan (default: 10)
+- **Deduplication**: 24-hour window to prevent duplicate alerts
+- **Severity Routing**: Route critical findings to different channels
+
+## 6. Policy patterns
 
 The analyzer emits `secret.leak` evidence with the shape:
 
 ```json
 {
   "ruleId": "stellaops.secrets.aws-access-key",
-  "ruleVersion": "2025.11.0",
+  "ruleVersion": "2026.01.0",

 }

+## 7. UI Components
+
+The secret detection UI is available at `/tenants/{tenantId}/secrets/`:
+
+### 7.1 Settings Page
+
+- **General Tab**: Enable/disable detection, revelation policy, rule categories
+- **Exceptions Tab**: Manage allowlist patterns for false positive suppression
+- **Alerts Tab**: Configure alert destinations and thresholds
+
+### 7.2 Findings List
+
+- Filterable by severity, status, rule category
+- Masked value display with conditional reveal
+- Pagination and export support
+
+### 7.3 Exception Manager
+
+- Create/edit/delete exception patterns
+- Regex validation with test mode
+- Expiration dates for temporary exceptions
+
+## 8. Observability & reporting
 
 - **Metrics:** `scanner.secret.finding_total{tenant,ruleId,severity,confidence}` increments per finding. Add Prometheus alerts for spikes.
 - **Logs:** `SecretsAnalyzerHost` logs bundle version on load and emits warnings when masking fails (payload never leaves memory).
 - **Traces:** Each analyzer run adds a `scanner.secrets.scan` span with rule counts and wall-clock timing.
 - **Reports / CLI:** Scan reports include a `secretFindings` array; CLI diff/export surfaces render masked snippets plus remediation guidance.
