 - **StellaOps.Attestor**: Main attestation service and REST API endpoints
 - **StellaOps.Attestor.Envelope**: DSSE envelope handling and serialization
 - **StellaOps.Attestor.Types**: Core attestation models and schemas
 - **StellaOps.Attestor.Verify**: Verification engine for signatures and Rekor proofs
-- **__Libraries**: Shared attestation utilities and storage abstractions
+- **__Libraries/StellaOps.Attestor.***: Shared attestation utilities and storage abstractions
+
+### Signer (cryptographic signing -- trust domain co-located, Sprint 204)
+- **StellaOps.Signer/StellaOps.Signer.Core**: Signing pipeline, predicate types, DSSE statement builder
+- **StellaOps.Signer/StellaOps.Signer.Infrastructure**: Redis/cache/HTTP infrastructure for signing
+- **StellaOps.Signer/StellaOps.Signer.WebService**: REST API (`/api/v1/signer/sign/dsse`)
+- **__Libraries/StellaOps.Signer.KeyManagement**: Key rotation, trust anchors, HSM/KMS bindings (separate DB schema)
+- **__Libraries/StellaOps.Signer.Keyless**: Fulcio/Sigstore keyless signing support
+
+### Provenance (attestation library -- trust domain co-located, Sprint 204)
+- **StellaOps.Provenance.Attestation**: SLSA/DSSE attestation generation library
+- **StellaOps.Provenance.Attestation.Tool**: Forensic verification CLI tool

+# stella-forensic-verify (preview)
+
+Minimal .NET 10 global tool for offline verification of provenance payloads signed with an HMAC key. No network access; deterministic JSON output.
+
+## Usage
+
+```
+stella-forensic-verify \
+  --payload payload.bin       # or '-' to read stdin
+  --signature-hex DEADBEEF... # hex-encoded HMAC
+  --key-hex 001122...         # hex-encoded HMAC key
+  [--key-id hmac]             # optional key id
+  [--content-type application/octet-stream]
+  [--signed-at 2025-11-21T12:00:00Z]
+  [--not-after 2025-12-31T23:59:59Z]
+  [--max-skew-minutes 5]
+```
+
+Output (single line, deterministic field order):
+
+```
+{"valid":true,"reason":"verified","verifiedAt":"2025-11-22T12:00:00.0000000Z","keyId":"hmac","contentType":"application/octet-stream"}
+```
+
+## Exit codes
+- 0: signature valid
+- 2: signature/time invalid
+- 1: bad arguments or hex parse failure
+
+## Offline kit packaging (manual)
+1. `dotnet pack src/Provenance/StellaOps.Provenance.Attestation.Tool/StellaOps.Provenance.Attestation.Tool.csproj -c Release -o out/tools`
+2. Copy the produced nupkg into the offline kit under `tools/`.
+3. Install in air-gap host: `dotnet tool install --global --add-source tools stella-forensic-verify --version <pkg-version>`.
+4. Document expected SHA256 of the nupkg alongside the kit manifest.

+# StellaOps Provenance & Attestation Guild Charter
+
+## Mission
+Provide shared libraries and tooling for generating, signing, and verifying provenance attestations (DSSE/SLSA) used by evidence bundles, exports, and timeline verification flows.
+
+## Scope
+- DSSE statement builders with Merkle and digest utilities.
+- Signer/validator abstractions for KMS, cosign, offline keys.
+- Provenance schema definitions reused across services and CLI.
+- Verification harnesses for evidence locker and export center integrations.
+
+## Collaboration
+- Partner with Evidence Locker, Exporter, Orchestrator, and CLI guilds for integration.
+- Coordinate with Security Guild on key management policies and rotation logs.
+- Ensure docs in `docs/modules/provenance/guides/provenance-attestation.md` stay aligned with implementation.
+
+## Definition of Done
+- Libraries ship with deterministic serialization tests.
+- Threat model reviewed before each release.
+- Sample statements and verification scripts committed under `samples/provenance/`.
+
+## Required Reading
+- `docs/modules/provenance/guides/provenance-attestation.md`
+- `docs/modules/platform/architecture-overview.md`
+
+## Working Agreement
+- 1. Update task status to `DOING`/`DONE` in both correspoding sprint file `/docs/implplan/SPRINT_*.md` and the local `TASKS.md` when you start or finish work.
+- 2. Review this charter and the Required Reading documents before coding; confirm prerequisites are met.
+- 3. Keep changes deterministic (stable ordering, timestamps, hashes) and align with offline/air-gap expectations.
+- 4. Coordinate doc updates, tests, and cross-guild communication whenever contracts or workflows change.
+- 5. Revert to `TODO` if you pause the task without shipping changes; leave notes in commit/PR descriptions for context.

+# Signer Guild
+
+## Mission
+Operate the Stella Ops Signer service: authenticate trusted callers, enforce proof‑of‑entitlement and release integrity policy, and mint verifiable DSSE bundles (keyless or KMS-backed) for downstream attestation.
+
+## Teams On Call
+- Team 11 (Signer API)
+- Team 12 (Signer Reliability & Quotas)
+
+## Operating Principles
+- Accept requests only with Authority-issued OpToks plus DPoP or mTLS sender binding; reject unsigned/cross-tenant traffic.
+- Treat PoE claims as hard gates for quota, version windows, and license validity; cache results deterministically with bounded TTLs.
+- Verify scanner image release signatures via OCI Referrers before signing; fail closed on ambiguity.
+- Keep the hot path stateless and deterministic; persist audit trails with structured logging, metrics, and correlation IDs.
+- Update `TASKS.md`, architecture notes, and tests whenever behaviour or contracts evolve.
+
+## Key Directories
+- `src/Signer/StellaOps.Signer/StellaOps.Signer.WebService/` — Minimal API host and HTTP surface (to be scaffolded).
+- `src/Signer/StellaOps.Signer/StellaOps.Signer.Core/` — Domain contracts, signing pipeline, quota enforcement (to be scaffolded).
+- `src/Signer/StellaOps.Signer/StellaOps.Signer.Infrastructure/` — External clients (Authority, Licensing, Fulcio/KMS, OCI) and persistence (to be scaffolded).
+- `src/Signer/StellaOps.Signer/StellaOps.Signer.Tests/` — Unit/integration test suites (to be scaffolded).
+
+## Required Reading
+- `docs/modules/signer/architecture.md`
+- `docs/modules/platform/architecture-overview.md`
+
+## Working Agreement
+- 1. Update task status to `DOING`/`DONE` in both correspoding sprint file `/docs/implplan/SPRINT_*.md` and the local `TASKS.md` when you start or finish work.
+- 2. Review this charter and the Required Reading documents before coding; confirm prerequisites are met.
+- 3. Keep changes deterministic (stable ordering, timestamps, hashes) and align with offline/air-gap expectations.
+- 4. Coordinate doc updates, tests, and cross-guild communication whenever contracts or workflows change.
+- 5. Revert to `TODO` if you pause the task without shipping changes; leave notes in commit/PR descriptions for context.
