+# Timeline Indexer
+
+> Timeline event indexing and query service.
+
+## Purpose
+
+TimelineIndexer provides fast, indexed access to timeline events across all StellaOps services. It enables efficient querying of vulnerability history, scan timelines, and policy evaluation trails.

+| **Maturity** | Production |
+| **Last Reviewed** | 2026-02-22 |
+| **Maintainer** | Platform Guild |
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **Event Indexing**: Index events from multiple StellaOps services
+- **Time-Range Queries**: Efficient time-series queries with filtering
+- **Event Stream Integration**: Consume from NATS/Valkey event streams
+- **PostgreSQL Storage**: Time-series indexes for fast retrieval
+- **EF Core DAL**: Database-first scaffolded model baseline with regeneration-safe partial overlays
+- **Compiled EF Model**: Static compiled model module is used at runtime for context initialization
+
+## Dependencies
+
+### Upstream (this module depends on)
+- **PostgreSQL** - Event storage with time-series indexes
+- **EF Core 10 + Npgsql provider** - DAL and schema mapping
+- **NATS/Valkey** - Event stream consumption
+- **Authority** - Authentication
+
+### Downstream (modules that depend on this)
+- **Web Console** - Timeline visualization
+- **CLI** - Timeline queries
+- **ExportCenter** - Timeline data exports
+
+## Configuration
+
+```yaml
+timeline_indexer:
+  event_sources:
+    - nats://events.stellaops.local
+  retention_days: 365
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+TimelineIndexer indexes events; it does not generate them. Events are received from event streams published by other services.
