Add property-based tests for SBOM/VEX document ordering and Unicode normalization determinism

- Implement `SbomVexOrderingDeterminismProperties` for testing component list and vulnerability metadata hash consistency.
- Create `UnicodeNormalizationDeterminismProperties` to validate NFC normalization and Unicode string handling.
- Add project file for `StellaOps.Testing.Determinism.Properties` with necessary dependencies.
- Introduce CI/CD template validation tests including YAML syntax checks and documentation content verification.
- Create validation script for CI/CD templates ensuring all required files and structures are present.

+# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+#
+# This workflow demonstrates how to integrate StellaOps release gates into your
+# GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline. The gate evaluates security drift between your
+# current build and the approved baseline, blocking releases that introduce new
+# reachable vulnerabilities.
+#
+# Prerequisites:
+# 1. StellaOps CLI installed (see setup step below)
+# 2. STELLAOPS_API_TOKEN secret configured
+# 3. Container image built and pushed to registry
+#
+# Exit codes:
+#   0 = Pass    - Release may proceed
+#   1 = Warn    - Release may proceed with warnings (configurable)
+#   2 = Fail    - Release blocked due to security policy violation

+# StellaOps GitLab CI Templates
+
+Production-ready GitLab CI templates for keyless signing integration with StellaOps.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Include the templates in your `.gitlab-ci.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+include:
+  - project: 'stella-ops/templates'
+    file: 'deploy/gitlab/examples/.gitlab-ci-stellaops.yml'
+
+sign-my-image:
+  extends: .stellaops-sign
+  variables:
+    ARTIFACT_DIGEST: $IMAGE_DIGEST
+    ARTIFACT_TYPE: image
+```
+
+## Available Templates
+
+### `.stellaops-sign`
+
+Signs artifacts using keyless signing with Fulcio certificates.
+
+**Variables:**
+| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
+|----------|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `ARTIFACT_DIGEST` | Yes | - | SHA256 digest of artifact to sign |
+| `ARTIFACT_TYPE` | No | `image` | Type: image, sbom, verdict, report |
+| `INCLUDE_REKOR` | No | `true` | Log to Rekor transparency log |
+| `PUSH_ATTESTATION` | No | `true` | Push attestation to registry |
+
+**Outputs (dotenv):**
+- `ATTESTATION_DIGEST`: Digest of created attestation
+- `REKOR_UUID`: Rekor transparency log UUID
+- `CERTIFICATE_IDENTITY`: OIDC identity from certificate
+
+### `.stellaops-verify`
+
+Verifies attestations before deployment.
+
+**Variables:**
+| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
+|----------|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `ARTIFACT_DIGEST` | Yes | - | SHA256 digest to verify |
+| `CERTIFICATE_IDENTITY` | Yes | - | Expected identity pattern (regex) |
+| `CERTIFICATE_OIDC_ISSUER` | No | `https://gitlab.com` | Expected OIDC issuer |
+| `REQUIRE_REKOR` | No | `true` | Require Rekor proof |
+| `STRICT` | No | `true` | Fail on any issue |
+
+**Outputs (dotenv):**
+- `VERIFIED`: Whether verification passed
+- `ATTESTATION_COUNT`: Number of attestations found
+
+### `.stellaops-sbom`
+
+Generates, signs, and attaches SBOM to image.
+
+**Variables:**
+| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
+|----------|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `IMAGE` | Yes | - | Image to generate SBOM for |
+| `SBOM_FORMAT` | No | `cyclonedx-json` | SBOM format |
+| `SBOM_OUTPUT` | No | `sbom.json` | Output filename |
+
+### `.stellaops-verdict`
+
+Evaluates policy and signs the verdict.
+
+**Variables:**
+| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
+|----------|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `IMAGE` | Yes | - | Image to evaluate |
+| `POLICY` | No | `default` | Policy pack ID |
+| `FAIL_ON_BLOCK` | No | `true` | Fail job if blocked |
+
+## Identity Patterns for GitLab
+
+When verifying, use these identity patterns:
+
+| Constraint | Pattern |
+|------------|---------|
+| Any ref in project | `project_path:<group>/<project>:.*` |
+| Main branch only | `project_path:<group>/<project>:ref_type:branch:ref:main` |
+| Protected refs | `project_path:<group>/<project>:ref_protected:true` |
+| Tags | `project_path:<group>/<project>:ref_type:tag:ref:.*` |
+
+**OIDC Issuer:** Use `${CI_SERVER_URL}` for self-hosted GitLab, or `https://gitlab.com` for GitLab.com.
+
+## Example Pipeline
+
+See `examples/example-pipeline.gitlab-ci.yml` for a complete pipeline example.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### OIDC Token Not Available
+
+Ensure your job has `id_tokens` configured:
+
+```yaml
+my-job:
+  id_tokens:
+    STELLAOPS_OIDC_TOKEN:
+      aud: sigstore
+```
+
+### Permission Denied
+
+Check that:
+1. The project has OIDC enabled (Settings > CI/CD > Token Access)
+2. Protected branch/tag settings if using protected pipelines
+
+### Verification Fails
+
+Common issues:
+- Identity pattern doesn't match (check `ref_type` and `ref`)
+- Wrong issuer (use `${CI_SERVER_URL}` for self-hosted)
+- Signature was created by different branch/tag
+

+- [Identity Constraints](../../docs/guides/identity-constraints.md)

+# Canonicalization & Determinism Patterns
+
+**Version:** 1.0  
+**Date:** December 2025  
+**Sprint:** SPRINT_20251226_007_BE_determinism_gaps (DET-GAP-20)
+
+> **Audience:** All StellaOps contributors working on code that produces digests, attestations, or replayable outputs.  
+> **Goal:** Ensure byte-identical outputs for identical inputs across platforms, time, and Rust/Go/Node re-implementations.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Why Determinism Matters
+
+StellaOps is built on **proof-of-state**: every verdict, attestation, and replay must be reproducible. Non-determinism breaks:
+
+- **Signature verification:** Different serialization → different digest → invalid signature.
+- **Replay guarantees:** Feed snapshots that produce different hashes cannot be replayed.
+- **Audit trails:** Compliance teams require bit-exact reproduction of historical scans.
+- **Cross-platform compatibility:** Windows/Linux/macOS must produce identical outputs.
+
+---
+
+## 2. RFC 8785 JSON Canonicalization Scheme (JCS)
+
+All JSON that participates in digest computation **must** use RFC 8785 JCS. This includes:
+
+- Attestation payloads (DSSE)
+- Verdict JSON
+- Policy evaluation results
+- Feed snapshot manifests
+- Proof bundles
+
+### 2.1 The Rfc8785JsonCanonicalizer
+
+Use the `Rfc8785JsonCanonicalizer` class for all canonical JSON operations:
+
+```csharp
+using StellaOps.Attestor.ProofChain.Json;
+
+// Create canonicalizer (optionally with NFC normalization)
+var canonicalizer = new Rfc8785JsonCanonicalizer(enableNfcNormalization: true);
+
+// Canonicalize JSON
+string canonical = canonicalizer.Canonicalize(jsonString);
+
+// Or from JsonElement
+string canonical = canonicalizer.Canonicalize(jsonElement);
+```
+
+### 2.2 JCS Rules Summary
+
+RFC 8785 requires:
+
+1. **No whitespace** between tokens.
+2. **Lexicographic key ordering** within objects.
+3. **Number serialization:** No leading zeros, no trailing zeros after decimal, integers without decimal point.
+4. **String escaping:** Minimal escaping (only `"`, `\`, and control chars).
+5. **UTF-8 encoding** without BOM.
+
+### 2.3 Common Mistakes
+
+❌ **Wrong:** Using `JsonSerializer.Serialize()` directly for digest input.
+
+```csharp
+// WRONG - non-deterministic ordering
+var json = JsonSerializer.Serialize(obj);
+var hash = SHA256.HashData(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(json));
+```
+
+✅ **Correct:** Canonicalize before hashing.
+
+```csharp
+// CORRECT - deterministic
+var canonicalizer = new Rfc8785JsonCanonicalizer();
+var canonical = canonicalizer.Canonicalize(obj);
+var hash = SHA256.HashData(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(canonical));
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Unicode NFC Normalization
+
+Different platforms may store the same string in different Unicode normalization forms. Enable NFC normalization when:
+
+- Processing user-supplied strings
+- Aggregating data from multiple sources
+- Working with file paths or identifiers from different systems
+
+```csharp
+// Enable NFC for cross-platform string stability
+var canonicalizer = new Rfc8785JsonCanonicalizer(enableNfcNormalization: true);
+```
+
+When NFC is enabled, all strings are normalized via `string.Normalize(NormalizationForm.FormC)` before serialization.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Resolver Boundary Pattern
+
+**Key principle:** All data entering or leaving a "resolver" (a service that produces verdicts, attestations, or replayable state) must be canonicalized.
+
+### 4.1 What Is a Resolver Boundary?
+
+A resolver boundary is any point where:
+
+- Data is **serialized** for storage, transmission, or signing
+- Data is **hashed** to produce a digest
+- Data is **compared** for equality in replay validation
+
+### 4.2 Boundary Enforcement
+
+At resolver boundaries:
+
+1. **Canonicalize** all JSON payloads using `Rfc8785JsonCanonicalizer`.
+2. **Sort** collections deterministically (alphabetically by key or ID).
+3. **Normalize** timestamps to ISO 8601 UTC with `Z` suffix.
+4. **Freeze** dictionaries using `FrozenDictionary` for stable iteration order.
+
+### 4.3 Example: Feed Snapshot Coordinator
+
+```csharp
+public sealed class FeedSnapshotCoordinatorService : IFeedSnapshotCoordinator
+{
+    private readonly FrozenDictionary<string, IFeedSourceProvider> _providers;
+
+    public FeedSnapshotCoordinatorService(IEnumerable<IFeedSourceProvider> providers, ...)
+    {
+        // Sort providers alphabetically for deterministic digest computation
+        _providers = providers
+            .OrderBy(p => p.SourceId, StringComparer.Ordinal)
+            .ToFrozenDictionary(p => p.SourceId, p => p, StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
+    }
+
+    private string ComputeCompositeDigest(IReadOnlyList<SourceSnapshot> sources)
+    {
+        // Sources are already sorted by SourceId (alphabetically)
+        using var sha256 = SHA256.Create();
+        foreach (var source in sources.OrderBy(s => s.SourceId, StringComparer.Ordinal))
+        {
+            // Append each source digest to the hash computation
+            var digestBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(source.Digest);
+            sha256.TransformBlock(digestBytes, 0, digestBytes.Length, null, 0);
+        }
+        sha256.TransformFinalBlock([], 0, 0);
+        return $"sha256:{Convert.ToHexString(sha256.Hash!).ToLowerInvariant()}";
+    }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. Timestamp Handling
+
+### 5.1 Rules
+
+1. **Always use UTC** - never local time.
+2. **ISO 8601 format** with `Z` suffix: `2025-12-27T14:30:00Z`
+3. **Consistent precision** - truncate to seconds unless milliseconds are required.
+4. **Use TimeProvider** for testability.
+
+### 5.2 Example
+
+```csharp
+// CORRECT - UTC with Z suffix
+var timestamp = timeProvider.GetUtcNow().ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ");
+
+// WRONG - local time
+var wrong = DateTime.Now.ToString("o");
+
+// WRONG - inconsistent format
+var wrong2 = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.ToString();
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. Numeric Stability
+
+### 6.1 Avoid Floating Point for Determinism
+
+Floating-point arithmetic can produce different results on different platforms. For deterministic values:
+
+- Use `decimal` for scores, percentages, and monetary values.
+- Use `int` or `long` for counts and identifiers.
+- If floating-point is unavoidable, document the acceptable epsilon and rounding rules.
+
+### 6.2 Number Serialization
+
+RFC 8785 requires specific number formatting:
+
+- Integers: no decimal point (`42`, not `42.0`)
+- Decimals: no trailing zeros (`3.14`, not `3.140`)
+- No leading zeros (`0.5`, not `00.5`)
+
+The `Rfc8785JsonCanonicalizer` handles this automatically.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Collection Ordering
+
+### 7.1 Rule
+
+All collections that participate in digest computation must have **deterministic order**.
+
+### 7.2 Implementation
+
+```csharp
+// CORRECT - use FrozenDictionary for stable iteration
+var orderedDict = items
+    .OrderBy(x => x.Key, StringComparer.Ordinal)
+    .ToFrozenDictionary(x => x.Key, x => x.Value);
+
+// CORRECT - sort before iteration
+foreach (var item in items.OrderBy(x => x.Id, StringComparer.Ordinal))
+{
+    // ...
+}
+
+// WRONG - iteration order is undefined
+foreach (var item in dictionary)
+{
+    // Order may vary between runs
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 8. Audit Hash Logging
+
+For debugging determinism issues, use the `AuditHashLogger`:
+
+```csharp
+using StellaOps.Attestor.ProofChain.Audit;
+
+var auditLogger = new AuditHashLogger(logger);
+
+// Log both raw and canonical hashes
+auditLogger.LogHashAudit(
+    rawContent,
+    canonicalContent,
+    "sha256:abc...",
+    "verdict",
+    "scan-123",
+    metadata);
+```
+
+This enables post-mortem analysis of canonicalization issues.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Testing Determinism
+
+### 9.1 Required Tests
+
+Every component that produces digests must have tests verifying:
+
+1. **Idempotency:** Same input → same digest (multiple calls).
+2. **Permutation invariance:** Reordering input collections → same digest.
+3. **Cross-platform:** Windows/Linux/macOS produce identical outputs.
+
+### 9.2 Example Test
+
+```csharp
+[Fact]
+public async Task CreateSnapshot_ProducesDeterministicDigest()
+{
+    // Arrange
+    var sources = CreateTestSources();
+    
+    // Act - create multiple snapshots with same data
+    var bundle1 = await coordinator.CreateSnapshotAsync();
+    var bundle2 = await coordinator.CreateSnapshotAsync();
+    
+    // Assert - digests must be identical
+    Assert.Equal(bundle1.CompositeDigest, bundle2.CompositeDigest);
+}
+
+[Fact]
+public async Task CreateSnapshot_OrderIndependent()
+{
+    // Arrange - sources in different orders
+    var sourcesAscending = sources.OrderBy(s => s.Id);
+    var sourcesDescending = sources.OrderByDescending(s => s.Id);
+    
+    // Act
+    var bundle1 = await CreateWithSources(sourcesAscending);
+    var bundle2 = await CreateWithSources(sourcesDescending);
+    
+    // Assert - digest must be identical regardless of input order
+    Assert.Equal(bundle1.CompositeDigest, bundle2.CompositeDigest);
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 10. Determinism Manifest Schema
+
+All replayable artifacts must include a determinism manifest conforming to the JSON Schema at:
+
+`docs/testing/schemas/determinism-manifest.schema.json`
+
+Key fields:
+- `schemaVersion`: Must be `"1.0"`.
+- `artifactType`: One of `verdict`, `attestation`, `snapshot`, `proof`, `sbom`, `vex`.
+- `hashAlgorithm`: One of `sha256`, `sha384`, `sha512`.
+- `ordering`: One of `alphabetical`, `timestamp`, `insertion`, `canonical`.
+- `determinismGuarantee`: One of `strict`, `relaxed`, `best_effort`.
+
+---
+
+## 11. Checklist for Contributors
+
+Before submitting a PR that involves digests or attestations:
+
+- [ ] JSON is canonicalized via `Rfc8785JsonCanonicalizer` before hashing.
+- [ ] NFC normalization is enabled if user-supplied strings are involved.
+- [ ] Collections are sorted deterministically before iteration.
+- [ ] Timestamps are UTC with ISO 8601 format and `Z` suffix.
+- [ ] Numeric values avoid floating-point where possible.
+- [ ] Unit tests verify digest idempotency and permutation invariance.

+# Identity Constraints for Keyless Verification
+
+## Overview
+
+Keyless signing binds cryptographic signatures to OIDC identities. When verifying signatures, you must specify which identities are trusted. This document covers identity constraint patterns for all supported CI/CD platforms.
+
+## Core Concepts
+
+### Certificate Identity
+
+The certificate identity is the subject claim from the OIDC token, embedded in the Fulcio certificate. It identifies:
+
+- **Who** created the signature (repository, branch, workflow)
+- **When** the signature was created (within the certificate validity window)
+- **Where** the signing happened (CI platform, environment)
+
+### OIDC Issuer
+
+The OIDC issuer is the URL of the identity provider that issued the token. Each CI platform has its own issuer:
+
+| Platform | Issuer URL |
+|----------|------------|
+| GitHub Actions | `https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com` |
+| GitLab CI (SaaS) | `https://gitlab.com` |
+| GitLab CI (Self-hosted) | `https://your-gitlab-instance.com` |
+| Gitea | `https://your-gitea-instance.com` |
+

+## Platform-Specific Patterns
+
+### GitHub Actions
+
+GitHub Actions OIDC tokens include rich context about the workflow execution.
+
+#### Token Claims
+
+| Claim | Description | Example |
+|-------|-------------|---------|
+| `sub` | Subject (identity) | `repo:org/repo:ref:refs/heads/main` |
+| `repository` | Full repository name | `org/repo` |
+| `repository_owner` | Organization/user | `org` |
+| `ref` | Git ref | `refs/heads/main` |
+| `ref_type` | Ref type | `branch` or `tag` |
+| `job_workflow_ref` | Workflow file | `.github/workflows/release.yml@refs/heads/main` |
+| `environment` | Deployment environment | `production` |
+
+#### Identity Patterns
+
+| Constraint | Pattern | Example |
+|------------|---------|---------|
+| Any ref | `repo:<owner>/<repo>:.*` | `repo:stellaops/scanner:.*` |
+| Main branch | `repo:<owner>/<repo>:ref:refs/heads/main` | `repo:stellaops/scanner:ref:refs/heads/main` |
+| Any branch | `repo:<owner>/<repo>:ref:refs/heads/.*` | `repo:stellaops/scanner:ref:refs/heads/.*` |
+| Version tags | `repo:<owner>/<repo>:ref:refs/tags/v.*` | `repo:stellaops/scanner:ref:refs/tags/v.*` |
+| Environment | `repo:<owner>/<repo>:environment:<env>` | `repo:stellaops/scanner:environment:production` |
+| Workflow | (use SAN) | N/A |
+
+#### Examples
+
+```bash
+# Accept only main branch
+stella attest verify \
+  --artifact sha256:abc123... \
+  --certificate-identity "repo:stellaops/scanner:ref:refs/heads/main" \
+  --certificate-oidc-issuer "https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com"
+
+# Accept main or release branches
+stella attest verify \
+  --artifact sha256:abc123... \
+  --certificate-identity "repo:stellaops/scanner:ref:refs/heads/(main|release/.*)" \
+  --certificate-oidc-issuer "https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com"
+
+# Accept any version tag
+stella attest verify \
+  --artifact sha256:abc123... \
+  --certificate-identity "repo:stellaops/scanner:ref:refs/tags/v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+.*" \
+  --certificate-oidc-issuer "https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com"
+
+# Accept production environment only
+stella attest verify \
+  --artifact sha256:abc123... \
+  --certificate-identity "repo:stellaops/scanner:environment:production" \
+  --certificate-oidc-issuer "https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com"
+```
+
+### GitLab CI
+
+GitLab CI provides OIDC tokens with project and pipeline context.
+
+#### Token Claims
+
+| Claim | Description | Example |
+|-------|-------------|---------|
+| `sub` | Subject | `project_path:group/project:ref_type:branch:ref:main` |
+| `project_path` | Full project path | `stellaops/scanner` |
+| `namespace_path` | Namespace | `stellaops` |
+| `ref` | Git ref | `main` |
+| `ref_type` | Ref type | `branch` or `tag` |
+| `ref_protected` | Protected ref | `true` or `false` |
+| `environment` | Environment name | `production` |
+| `pipeline_source` | Trigger source | `push`, `web`, `schedule` |
+
+#### Identity Patterns
+
+| Constraint | Pattern | Example |
+|------------|---------|---------|
+| Any ref | `project_path:<group>/<project>:.*` | `project_path:stellaops/scanner:.*` |
+| Main branch | `project_path:<group>/<project>:ref_type:branch:ref:main` | Full pattern |
+| Protected refs | `project_path:<group>/<project>:ref_protected:true` | Full pattern |
+| Tags | `project_path:<group>/<project>:ref_type:tag:ref:.*` | Full pattern |
+
+#### Examples
+
+```bash
+# Accept main branch only
+stella attest verify \
+  --artifact sha256:abc123... \
+  --certificate-identity "project_path:stellaops/scanner:ref_type:branch:ref:main" \
+  --certificate-oidc-issuer "https://gitlab.com"
+
+# Accept any protected ref
+stella attest verify \
+  --artifact sha256:abc123... \
+  --certificate-identity "project_path:stellaops/scanner:ref_protected:true.*" \
+  --certificate-oidc-issuer "https://gitlab.com"
+
+# Self-hosted GitLab
+stella attest verify \
+  --artifact sha256:abc123... \
+  --certificate-identity "project_path:mygroup/myproject:.*" \
+  --certificate-oidc-issuer "https://gitlab.internal.example.com"
+```
+
+### Gitea
+
+Gitea OIDC tokens follow a similar pattern to GitHub Actions.
+
+#### Token Claims
+
+| Claim | Description | Example |
+|-------|-------------|---------|
+| `sub` | Subject | `org/repo:ref:refs/heads/main` |
+| `repository` | Repository path | `org/repo` |
+| `ref` | Git ref | `refs/heads/main` |
+
+#### Identity Patterns
+
+| Constraint | Pattern | Example |
+|------------|---------|---------|
+| Any ref | `<org>/<repo>:.*` | `stellaops/scanner:.*` |
+| Main branch | `<org>/<repo>:ref:refs/heads/main` | `stellaops/scanner:ref:refs/heads/main` |
+| Tags | `<org>/<repo>:ref:refs/tags/.*` | `stellaops/scanner:ref:refs/tags/.*` |
+
+#### Examples
+
+```bash
+# Accept main branch
+stella attest verify \
+  --artifact sha256:abc123... \
+  --certificate-identity "stella-ops.org/git.stella-ops.org:ref:refs/heads/main" \
+  --certificate-oidc-issuer "https://git.stella-ops.org"
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Security Recommendations
+
+1. **Always Constrain to Repository**
+
+   Never accept wildcards that could match any repository:
+
+   ```bash
+   # BAD - accepts any repository
+   --certificate-identity "repo:.*"
+
+   # GOOD - specific repository
+   --certificate-identity "repo:stellaops/scanner:.*"
+   ```
+
+2. **Prefer Branch/Tag Constraints for Production**
+
+   ```bash
+   # Better - only main branch
+   --certificate-identity "repo:stellaops/scanner:ref:refs/heads/main"
+
+   # Even better - only signed tags
+   --certificate-identity "repo:stellaops/scanner:ref:refs/tags/v.*"
+   ```
+
+3. **Use Environment Constraints When Available**
+
+   ```bash
+   # Most specific - production environment only
+   --certificate-identity "repo:stellaops/scanner:environment:production"
+   ```
+
+4. **Always Require Rekor Proofs**
+
+   ```bash
+   # Always include --require-rekor for production
+   stella attest verify \
+     --artifact sha256:... \
+     --certificate-identity "..." \
+     --certificate-oidc-issuer "..." \
+     --require-rekor
+   ```
+
+5. **Pin Trusted Issuers**
+
+   Only trust expected OIDC issuers. Never accept `.*` for issuer.
+
+### Common Patterns
+
+#### Multi-Environment Trust
+
+```yaml
+# GitHub Actions - Different constraints per environment
+staging:
+  identity: "repo:myorg/myrepo:ref:refs/heads/.*"
+
+production:
+  identity: "repo:myorg/myrepo:ref:refs/(heads/main|tags/v.*)"
+```
+
+#### Cross-Repository Trust
+
+```bash
+# Trust signatures from multiple repositories
+stella attest verify \
+  --artifact sha256:... \
+  --certificate-identity "repo:myorg/(repo1|repo2|repo3):ref:refs/heads/main" \
+  --certificate-oidc-issuer "https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com"
+```
+
+#### Organization-Wide Trust
+
+```bash
+# Trust any repository in organization (use with caution)
+stella attest verify \
+  --artifact sha256:... \
+  --certificate-identity "repo:myorg/.*:ref:refs/heads/main" \
+  --certificate-oidc-issuer "https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com"
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Errors
+
+| Error | Cause | Solution |
+|-------|-------|----------|
+| `identity mismatch` | Pattern doesn't match certificate subject | Check ref format (refs/heads/ vs branch name) |
+| `issuer mismatch` | Wrong OIDC issuer URL | Use correct issuer for platform |
+| `certificate expired` | Signing cert expired, no Rekor proof | Ensure `--require-rekor` and Rekor was used at signing |
+| `no attestations found` | Attestation not attached to artifact | Verify attestation was pushed to registry |
+
+### Debugging Identity Patterns
+
+```bash
+# Inspect certificate to see actual identity
+stella attest inspect \
+  --artifact sha256:... \
+  --show-cert
+
+# Expected output:
+# Certificate Subject: repo:stellaops/scanner:ref:refs/heads/main
+# Certificate Issuer: https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com
+# Certificate SAN: https://github.com/stellaops/scanner/.github/workflows/release.yml@refs/heads/main
+```
+
+### Testing Patterns
+
+```bash
+# Test pattern matching locally
+echo "repo:myorg/myrepo:ref:refs/heads/main" | \
+  grep -E "repo:myorg/myrepo:ref:refs/heads/(main|develop)"
+```

+# Keyless Signing Quick Start
+
+Get keyless signing working in your CI/CD pipeline in under 5 minutes.
+
+## Overview
+
+Keyless signing uses your CI platform's OIDC identity to sign artifacts without managing private keys. The signature is bound to your repository, branch, and workflow identity.
+
+```
+┌─────────────┐     ┌─────────┐     ┌───────────────┐

+└─────────────┘     └─────────┘     └───────────────┘
+```
+
+## GitHub Actions (Fastest)
+
+### Step 1: Add the workflow
+
+Create `.github/workflows/sign.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+name: Build and Sign
+
+on:
+  push:
+    branches: [main]
+
+jobs:
+  build-and-sign:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    permissions:
+      id-token: write    # Required for OIDC
+      contents: read
+      packages: write
+
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+
+      - name: Build container
+        run: |
+          docker build -t ghcr.io/${{ github.repository }}:${{ github.sha }} .
+          docker push ghcr.io/${{ github.repository }}:${{ github.sha }}
+
+      - name: Install StellaOps CLI
+        run: curl -sL https://get.stella-ops.org/cli | sh
+
+      - name: Get OIDC Token
+        id: oidc
+        run: |
+          TOKEN=$(curl -sLS "${ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_URL}&audience=sigstore" \
+            -H "Authorization: bearer ${ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_TOKEN}" \
+            | jq -r '.value')
+          echo "::add-mask::${TOKEN}"
+          echo "token=${TOKEN}" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
+
+      - name: Sign container
+        env:
+          STELLAOPS_OIDC_TOKEN: ${{ steps.oidc.outputs.token }}
+        run: |
+          DIGEST=$(docker inspect ghcr.io/${{ github.repository }}:${{ github.sha }} \
+            --format='{{index .RepoDigests 0}}' | cut -d@ -f2)
+          stella attest sign --keyless --artifact "$DIGEST"
+```
+
+### Step 2: Push and verify
+
+```bash
+git add .github/workflows/sign.yml
+git commit -m "Add keyless signing"
+git push
+```
+
+Check Actions tab - your container is now signed!
+

+
+## GitLab CI (5 minutes)
+
+### Step 1: Update `.gitlab-ci.yml`
+
+```yaml
+stages:
+  - build
+  - sign
+
+build:
+  stage: build
+  image: docker:24
+  services:

+    - docker push $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:$CI_COMMIT_SHA
+    - echo "ARTIFACT_DIGEST=$(docker inspect $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:$CI_COMMIT_SHA --format='{{index .RepoDigests 0}}' | cut -d@ -f2)" >> build.env
+  artifacts:

+      dotenv: build.env
+
+sign:
+  stage: sign
+  image: stella-ops/cli:latest
+  id_tokens:

+```
+
+### Step 2: Push
+
+```bash
+git add .gitlab-ci.yml
+git commit -m "Add keyless signing"
+git push
+```
+
+---
+
+## Verification Gate
+
+Add verification before deployment:
+
+### GitHub Actions
+
+```yaml
+deploy:
+  needs: [build-and-sign]
+  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+  environment: production
+  steps:
+    - name: Verify before deploy
+      run: |
+        stella attest verify \
+          --artifact "${{ needs.build-and-sign.outputs.digest }}" \
+          --certificate-identity "repo:${{ github.repository }}:ref:refs/heads/main" \
+          --certificate-oidc-issuer "https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com" \
+          --require-rekor
+
+    - name: Deploy
+      run: kubectl set image deployment/app app=$IMAGE

+## Identity Patterns Cheat Sheet
+
+### GitHub Actions
+
+| Pattern | Example |
+|---------|---------|
+| Any branch | `repo:org/repo:.*` |
+| Main only | `repo:org/repo:ref:refs/heads/main` |
+| Tags only | `repo:org/repo:ref:refs/tags/v.*` |
+| Environment | `repo:org/repo:environment:production` |
+
+**OIDC Issuer:** `https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com`
+
+### GitLab CI
+
+| Pattern | Example |
+|---------|---------|
+| Any ref | `project_path:group/project:.*` |
+| Main only | `project_path:group/project:ref_type:branch:ref:main` |
+| Tags only | `project_path:group/project:ref_type:tag:.*` |
+| Protected | `project_path:group/project:ref_protected:true` |
+
+**OIDC Issuer:** `https://gitlab.com` (or self-hosted URL)
+

+
+## Using Reusable Workflows
+
+For cleaner pipelines, use StellaOps reusable workflows:
+
+### GitHub Actions
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  sign:
+    uses: stella-ops/workflows/.github/workflows/stellaops-sign.yml@v1
+    with:
+      artifact-digest: sha256:abc123...
+      artifact-type: image
+    permissions:
+      id-token: write
+
+  verify:
+    needs: [sign]
+    uses: stella-ops/workflows/.github/workflows/stellaops-verify.yml@v1
+    with:
+      artifact-digest: sha256:abc123...
+      certificate-identity: "repo:${{ github.repository }}:ref:refs/heads/main"
+      certificate-oidc-issuer: "https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com"
+```
+
+### GitLab CI
+
+```yaml
+include:
+  - project: 'stella-ops/templates'
+    file: '.gitlab-ci-stellaops.yml'
+
+sign-container:
+  extends: .stellaops-sign
+  variables:
+    ARTIFACT_DIGEST: sha256:abc123...
+    ARTIFACT_TYPE: image
+```

+# Keyless Signing Troubleshooting Guide
+
+This guide covers common issues when integrating StellaOps keyless signing into CI/CD pipelines.
+
+## Common Errors
+
+### OIDC Token Acquisition Failures
+
+#### Error: "Unable to get OIDC token"
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+Error: Unable to get ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_URL
+```
+
+**Cause:** The workflow doesn't have `id-token: write` permission.
+
+**Solution:**
+```yaml
+# GitHub Actions
+permissions:
+  id-token: write
+  contents: read
+
+# GitLab CI
+job:
+  id_tokens:
+    STELLAOPS_OIDC_TOKEN:
+      aud: sigstore
+```
+
+#### Error: "Token audience mismatch"
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+Error: Token audience 'api://default' does not match expected 'sigstore'
+```
+
+**Cause:** OIDC token was requested with wrong audience.
+
+**Solution:**
+```yaml
+# GitHub Actions
+OIDC_TOKEN=$(curl -sLS "${ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_URL}&audience=sigstore" \
+  -H "Authorization: bearer ${ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_TOKEN}")
+
+# GitLab CI
+id_tokens:
+  STELLAOPS_OIDC_TOKEN:
+    aud: sigstore  # Must be 'sigstore' for Fulcio
+```
+
+---
+
+### Fulcio Certificate Errors
+
+#### Error: "Failed to get certificate from Fulcio"
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+Error: error getting certificate from Fulcio: 401 Unauthorized
+```
+
+**Causes:**
+1. OIDC token expired (tokens are short-lived, typically 5-10 minutes)
+2. Fulcio doesn't recognize the OIDC issuer
+3. Network connectivity issues to Fulcio
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. **Token expiry:** Request token immediately before signing:
+```yaml
+- name: Get OIDC Token
+  id: oidc
+  run: |
+    # Get fresh token right before signing
+    OIDC_TOKEN=$(curl -sLS "${ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_URL}&audience=sigstore" \
+      -H "Authorization: bearer ${ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_TOKEN}" \
+      | jq -r '.value')
+    echo "token=${OIDC_TOKEN}" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
+
+- name: Sign (immediately after)
+  env:
+    STELLAOPS_OIDC_TOKEN: ${{ steps.oidc.outputs.token }}
+  run: stella attest sign --keyless --artifact "$DIGEST"
+```
+
+2. **Unknown issuer:** Ensure your CI platform is supported:
+   - GitHub Actions: `https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com`
+   - GitLab.com: `https://gitlab.com`
+   - Self-hosted GitLab: Must be configured in Fulcio
+
+3. **Network issues:** Check connectivity:
+```bash
+curl -v https://fulcio.sigstore.dev/api/v2/signingCert
+```
+
+#### Error: "Certificate identity not found in token"
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+Error: no matching subject or SAN found in OIDC token
+```
+
+**Cause:** Token claims don't include expected identity fields.
+
+**Solution:** Verify token contents:
+```bash
+# Decode and inspect token (don't do this in production logs)
+echo $OIDC_TOKEN | cut -d. -f2 | base64 -d | jq .
+```
+
+Expected claims for GitHub Actions:
+```json
+{
+  "sub": "repo:org/repo:ref:refs/heads/main",
+  "iss": "https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com",
+  "repository": "org/repo",
+  "ref": "refs/heads/main"
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### Rekor Transparency Log Errors
+
+#### Error: "Failed to upload to Rekor"
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+Error: error uploading entry to Rekor: 500 Internal Server Error
+```
+
+**Causes:**
+1. Rekor service temporarily unavailable
+2. Entry too large
+3. Network issues
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. **Retry with backoff:**
+```yaml
+- name: Sign with retry
+  run: |
+    for i in 1 2 3; do
+      stella attest sign --keyless --artifact "$DIGEST" && break
+      echo "Attempt $i failed, retrying in 30s..."
+      sleep 30
+    done
+```
+
+2. **Check Rekor status:** https://status.sigstore.dev/
+
+3. **Use offline bundle (air-gapped):**
+```bash
+stella attest sign --keyless --artifact "$DIGEST" --offline-bundle
+```
+
+#### Error: "Rekor entry not found"
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+Error: entry not found in transparency log
+```
+
+**Cause:** Verification requiring Rekor but entry wasn't logged (offline signing).
+
+**Solution:** Either:
+- Sign with Rekor enabled (default)
+- Verify without Rekor requirement:
+```bash
+stella attest verify --artifact "$DIGEST" --skip-rekor
+```
+
+---
+
+### Verification Failures
+
+#### Error: "Certificate identity mismatch"
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+Error: certificate identity 'repo:org/repo:ref:refs/heads/feature'
+       does not match expected 'repo:org/repo:ref:refs/heads/main'
+```
+
+**Cause:** Artifact was signed from a different branch/ref than expected.
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. **Use regex for flexibility:**
+```bash
+stella attest verify \
+  --artifact "$DIGEST" \
+  --certificate-identity "repo:org/repo:.*" \
+  --certificate-oidc-issuer "https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com"
+```
+
+2. **Verify expected signing context:**
+```bash
+# Check what identity was actually used
+stella attest inspect --artifact "$DIGEST" --show-identity
+```
+
+#### Error: "Certificate OIDC issuer mismatch"
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+Error: certificate issuer 'https://gitlab.com'
+       does not match expected 'https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com'
+```
+
+**Cause:** Artifact was signed by a different CI platform.
+
+**Solution:** Update verification to accept correct issuer:
+```bash
+# For GitLab-signed artifacts
+stella attest verify \
+  --artifact "$DIGEST" \
+  --certificate-identity "project_path:org/repo:.*" \
+  --certificate-oidc-issuer "https://gitlab.com"
+```
+
+#### Error: "Signature expired"
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+Error: certificate validity period has expired
+```
+
+**Cause:** Fulcio certificates are short-lived (10 minutes). Verification after expiry requires Rekor proof.
+
+**Solution:** Ensure Rekor verification is enabled:
+```bash
+stella attest verify \
+  --artifact "$DIGEST" \
+  --require-rekor \
+  --certificate-identity "..." \
+  --certificate-oidc-issuer "..."
+```
+
+---
+
+### Platform-Specific Issues
+
+#### GitHub Actions: "Resource not accessible by integration"
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+Error: Resource not accessible by integration
+```
+
+**Cause:** GitHub App or token lacks required permissions.
+
+**Solution:** Ensure workflow has correct permissions:
+```yaml
+permissions:
+  id-token: write   # For OIDC token
+  contents: read    # For checkout
+  packages: write   # If pushing to GHCR
+  attestations: write  # For GitHub attestations
+```
+
+#### GitLab CI: "id_tokens not available"
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+Error: STELLAOPS_OIDC_TOKEN variable not set
+```
+
+**Cause:** GitLab version doesn't support `id_tokens` or feature is disabled.
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Check GitLab version (requires 15.7+)
+2. Enable CI/CD OIDC in project settings:
+   - Settings > CI/CD > Token Access
+   - Enable "Allow CI job tokens from the following projects"
+
+3. Use service account as fallback:
+```yaml
+sign:
+  script:
+    - |
+      if [ -z "$STELLAOPS_OIDC_TOKEN" ]; then
+        # Fallback to service account
+        stella attest sign --key "$SIGNING_KEY" --artifact "$DIGEST"
+      else
+        stella attest sign --keyless --artifact "$DIGEST"
+      fi
+```
+
+#### Gitea: OIDC Token Format
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+Error: Invalid OIDC token format
+```
+
+**Cause:** Gitea Actions uses different token acquisition method.
+
+**Solution:**
+```yaml
+- name: Get OIDC Token
+  run: |
+    # Gitea provides token directly in environment
+    if [ -n "$ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN" ]; then
+      echo "token=$ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
+    else
+      echo "::error::OIDC token not available"
+      exit 1
+    fi
+```
+
+---
+
+### Network and Connectivity
+
+#### Error: "Connection refused" to Sigstore services
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+Error: dial tcp: connection refused
+```
+
+**Cause:** Firewall blocking outbound connections.
+
+**Required endpoints:**
+| Service | URL | Purpose |
+|---------|-----|---------|
+| Fulcio | `https://fulcio.sigstore.dev` | Certificate issuance |
+| Rekor | `https://rekor.sigstore.dev` | Transparency log |
+| TUF | `https://tuf-repo-cdn.sigstore.dev` | Trust root |
+| OIDC | CI platform URL | Token validation |
+
+**Solution:** Allow outbound HTTPS to these endpoints, or use self-hosted Sigstore.
+
+#### Proxy Configuration
+
+```yaml
+- name: Sign with proxy
+  env:
+    HTTPS_PROXY: http://proxy.internal:8080
+    NO_PROXY: internal.corp.com
+    STELLAOPS_OIDC_TOKEN: ${{ steps.oidc.outputs.token }}
+  run: stella attest sign --keyless --artifact "$DIGEST"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Debugging Commands
+
+### Inspect OIDC Token
+```bash
+# Decode token payload (never log in production)
+echo $OIDC_TOKEN | cut -d. -f2 | base64 -d 2>/dev/null | jq .
+```
+
+### Verify Fulcio Connectivity
+```bash
+curl -v https://fulcio.sigstore.dev/api/v2/configuration
+```
+
+### Check Rekor Entry
+```bash
+# Search by artifact hash
+rekor-cli search --sha "sha256:abc123..."
+
+# Get entry details
+rekor-cli get --uuid "24296fb24b8ad77a..."
+```
+
+### Inspect Attestation
+```bash
+stella attest inspect \
+  --artifact "$DIGEST" \
+  --show-certificate \
+  --show-rekor-entry
+```
+
+### Verbose Signing
+```bash
+STELLAOPS_LOG_LEVEL=debug stella attest sign --keyless --artifact "$DIGEST"
+```

-# SPRINT_20251226_002_ATTESTOR_bundle_rotation
-
-**Sprint ID:** 20251226_002_ATTESTOR
-**Topic:** Attestation Bundle Rotation and Long-Term Verification
-**Status:** TODO
-**Priority:** P1 (High)
-**Created:** 2025-12-26
-**Working Directory:** `src/Attestor/`, `src/Scheduler/`
-
----
-
-## Executive Summary
-
-Implement monthly attestation bundle rotation to ensure long-term verification of keyless-signed artifacts. Since Fulcio certificates have short lifetimes (~10 minutes), attestations must be bundled with Rekor inclusion proofs and optionally re-signed with an organization key for verification beyond certificate expiry.
-
-**Business Value:**
-- Enables verification of attestations years after signing (regulatory compliance)
-- Supports air-gapped environments with bundled proofs
-- Provides organizational endorsement layer for high-assurance workflows
-- Implements Sigstore best practices for long-term verification
-
-**Dependencies:**
-- Sprint 20251226_001 (Keyless signing client)
-- Existing Rekor v2 integration in Attestor
-- Scheduler module for periodic job execution
-
----
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-**Required Reading (complete before DOING):**
-- [ ] `docs/modules/attestor/architecture.md` - Attestor architecture dossier
-- [ ] `src/Attestor/AGENTS.md` - Module charter
-- [ ] `docs/24_OFFLINE_KIT.md` - Offline bundle format
-- [ ] `CLAUDE.md` - Project coding standards
-- [ ] Sigstore bundle format: https://github.com/sigstore/protobuf-specs
-
-**Technical Prerequisites:**
-- [ ] Rekor v2 submission working (existing)
-- [ ] Merkle inclusion proof verification (existing)
-- [ ] PostgreSQL `attestor.entries` table populated

-## Decisions & Risks
-
-| ID | Decision/Risk | Status | Owner | Notes |
-|----|---------------|--------|-------|-------|
-| D001 | Monthly as default bundle cadence | DECIDED | — | Balance between overhead and granularity |
-| D002 | SHA-256 for Merkle tree | DECIDED | — | Consistent with Rekor, industry standard |
-| D003 | CBOR as optional compact format | DECIDED | — | ~40% smaller than JSON for transport |
-| D004 | 24-month default retention | DECIDED | — | Covers most compliance requirements |
-| R001 | Large bundle sizes for high-volume tenants | OPEN | — | Mitigate with pagination, streaming export |
-| R002 | Org key compromise | OPEN | — | Use HSM, implement key rotation |
-| R003 | S3 storage costs | OPEN | — | Enable lifecycle policies, intelligent tiering |

 ## Decisions & Risks
-- Decision needed: ASM version for Java extractor (9.x recommended for Java 21 support).
+- ✅ Decision made: Java extractor uses pure .NET bytecode parsing (no external ASM dependency needed).
-- Decision needed: Babel parser plugins for TypeScript/JSX support.
+- ✅ Decision made: Node.js extractor uses Babel via `stella-callgraph-node` external tool with JSON output.
-- Decision needed: Python version support (3.8+ recommended).
+- ✅ Decision made: Python extractor uses regex-based AST parsing for 3.8+ compatibility.
-- Risk: Dynamic dispatch in Java/Python limits static call graph accuracy. Mitigation: conservative over-approximation, flag unknowns.
+- ✅ Decision made: Go extractor uses external `stella-callgraph-go` tool with static fallback analysis.
-- Risk: Node.js dynamic requires are hard to resolve. Mitigation: mark as unknown, runtime evidence can supplement.
+- Risk mitigated: Dynamic dispatch in Java/Python - conservative over-approximation implemented, unknowns flagged.
-- Risk: Large codebases may cause memory issues. Mitigation: streaming/chunked processing, configurable depth limits.
+- Risk mitigated: Node.js dynamic requires - marked as unknown, runtime evidence can supplement.
+- Risk mitigated: Memory for large codebases - streaming/chunked processing with configurable depth limits via `ReachabilityAnalysisOptions.MaxDepth`.

-## Decisions & Risks
-- Decision needed: Sigstore instance (public vs self-hosted). Recommend: public for CI, self-hosted option for air-gap.
-- Decision needed: Feed snapshot retention period. Recommend: 90 days default, configurable.
-- Decision needed: Cross-platform CI runners (GitHub Actions vs self-hosted). Recommend: GitHub Actions for broad coverage.
-- Risk: Keyless signing requires stable OIDC provider. Mitigation: fallback to key-based signing if OIDC unavailable.
-- Risk: Cross-platform float differences. Mitigation: use decimal for all numeric comparisons (already enforced).

 | 2025-12-26 | Sprint created from advisory analysis; identified 6 overlapping advisories for consolidation. | Project Mgmt |
+| 2025-12-27 | All tasks complete. Created `CONSOLIDATED - Deterministic Evidence and Verdict Architecture.md` with 11 sections covering canonical serialization, keyless signing, delta verdicts, reachability proofs, and implementation status matrix (~85% complete). Created `docs/technical/architecture/determinism-specification.md` with complete digest algorithm specs (VerdictId, EvidenceId, GraphRevisionId, ManifestId, PolicyBundleId), canonicalization rules, troubleshooting guide. Updated cross-references in policy architecture and scanner AGENTS. Skipped archival tasks (DOC-DET-08/09) as source files already in appropriate archive locations. | Implementer |
 
 ## Decisions & Risks
 - Decision: Keep "Hybrid Binary and Call-Graph Analysis" separate (different focus). Recommend: Yes, it's about analysis methods not determinism.
 - Decision: Archive location. Recommend: `archived/2025-12-26-determinism-advisories/` with README explaining consolidation.
+- Decision: **Archival skipped** — source advisories already reside in `archived/2025-12-25-foundation-advisories/` and `archived/2025-12-26-foundation-advisories/`. Moving them again would break existing cross-references. Added "supersedes" notes in consolidated document instead.
 - Risk: Broken cross-references after archival. Mitigation: grep all docs for advisory filenames before archiving.

 ## Decisions & Risks
-- Decision needed: Hash algorithm (BLAKE3 vs SHA256). Recommend: BLAKE3 for speed.
+- **DECIDED**: Hash algorithm: Uses `StellaOps.Cryptography.ICryptoHash` with `HashPurpose.Graph` for regional compliance:
-- Decision needed: Stripped binary handling (heuristics vs fail). Recommend: heuristics with `stripped=true` flag.
+  - `world` profile: BLAKE3-256 (default, fast)
-- Decision needed: Trace depth limit. Recommend: 10 hops max for compressed paths.
+  - `fips/kcmvp/eidas` profile: SHA-256 (certified)
+  - `gost` profile: GOST3411-2012-256 (Russian)
+  - `sm` profile: SM3 (Chinese)
+  - Fallback: SHA-256 when no ICryptoHash provider is available (backward compatibility).
+  - Configuration: `config/crypto-profiles.sample.json` → `StellaOps.Crypto.Compliance.ProfileId`
+- **DECIDED**: Stripped binary handling: heuristic detection with confidence field (0.5 for heuristics, 0.8 for symbols, 1.0 for DWARF).
+- **DECIDED**: Trace depth limit: 10 hops max (FuncProofConstants.MaxTraceHops). Configurable via policy schema `hopBuckets.maxHops` and `FuncProofGenerationOptions.MaxTraceHops`.
+- **DECIDED**: Function ordering: sorted by offset for deterministic proof ID generation.
+- **DECIDED**: Configurable generation options via `FuncProofGenerationOptions` class:
+  - `MaxTraceHops`: Trace depth limit (default: 10)
+  - `MinConfidenceThreshold`: Filter low-confidence functions (default: 0.0)
+  - `DwarfConfidence`: DWARF detection confidence (default: 1.0)
+  - `SymbolConfidence`: Symbol table confidence (default: 0.8)
+  - `HeuristicConfidence`: Prolog/epilog detection confidence (default: 0.5)
+  - `InferredSizePenalty`: Multiplier for inferred sizes (default: 0.9)
+- **DECIDED**: SBOM evidence linking uses CycloneDX 1.6 `components.evidence.callflow` with `stellaops:funcproof:*` properties.
 - Risk: Function boundary detection may be imprecise for heavily optimized code. Mitigation: mark confidence per function.
 - Risk: Large binaries may produce huge FuncProof files. Mitigation: compress, limit to security-relevant functions.

+# Sprint 20251226 · AI UX Patterns (Non-Obtrusive Surfacing)
+
+## Topic & Scope
+- Implement AI surfacing patterns: progressive disclosure, 3-line doctrine, contextual command bar
+- Create reusable AI chip components and authority labels (Evidence-backed / Suggestion)
+- Define AI behavior contracts across all surfaces (list, detail, CI, PR, notifications)
+- Ensure AI is always subordinate to deterministic verdicts and evidence
+- **Working directory:** `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/src/app/`
+
+## Design Principles (Non-Negotiable)
+
+1. **Deterministic verdict first, AI second** - AI never shown above evidence
+2. **Progressive disclosure** - AI is an overlay, not a layer; user clicks to expand
+3. **3-line doctrine** - AI text constrained to 3 lines by default, expandable
+4. **Compact chips** - 3-5 word action-oriented chips (not paragraphs)
+5. **Evidence-backed vs Suggestion** - Clear authority labels on all AI output
+6. **Opt-in in CI/CLI** - No AI text in logs unless `--ai-summary` flag
+7. **State-change PR comments** - Only comment when materially useful
+
+## Dependencies & Concurrency
+- Must complete before: SPRINT_20251226_015_AI_zastava_companion FE tasks (ZASTAVA-15/16/17/18)
+- Must complete before: SPRINT_20251226_013_FE_triage_canvas AI tasks (TRIAGE-14/15/16/17)
+- Uses: Existing chip components (reachability-chip, vex-status-chip, unknown-chip)
+- Uses: Existing evidence-drawer component
+
+## Documentation Prerequisites
+- AI Surfacing Advisory (this sprint's source)
+- `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/src/app/shared/components/` (existing chip patterns)
+- Angular 17 component patterns
+
+## Context: What Already Exists

+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- Decision: 3-line hard limit vs soft limit? Recommend: hard limit; expandable for more.
+- Decision: AI chip max per row? Recommend: 2 chips max; prevents visual clutter.
+- Decision: Authority badge colors? Recommend: Green (evidence-backed), Amber (suggestion), not red.
+- Risk: AI latency degrading UX. Mitigation: skeleton loaders; cache AI responses.
+- Risk: Users ignoring AI because it's too hidden. Mitigation: chips are clickable; preview on hover.

+# SPRINT_20251226_002_ATTESTOR_bundle_rotation
+
+**Sprint ID:** 20251226_002_ATTESTOR
+**Topic:** Attestation Bundle Rotation and Long-Term Verification
+**Status:** DONE
+**Priority:** P1 (High)
+**Created:** 2025-12-26
+**Working Directory:** `src/Attestor/`, `src/Scheduler/`
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+Implement monthly attestation bundle rotation to ensure long-term verification of keyless-signed artifacts. Since Fulcio certificates have short lifetimes (~10 minutes), attestations must be bundled with Rekor inclusion proofs and optionally re-signed with an organization key for verification beyond certificate expiry.
+
+**Business Value:**
+- Enables verification of attestations years after signing (regulatory compliance)
+- Supports air-gapped environments with bundled proofs
+- Provides organizational endorsement layer for high-assurance workflows
+- Implements Sigstore best practices for long-term verification
+
+**Dependencies:**
+- Sprint 20251226_001 (Keyless signing client)
+- Existing Rekor v2 integration in Attestor
+- Scheduler module for periodic job execution
+
+---
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+**Required Reading (complete before DOING):**
+- [ ] `docs/modules/attestor/architecture.md` - Attestor architecture dossier
+- [ ] `src/Attestor/AGENTS.md` - Module charter
+- [ ] `docs/24_OFFLINE_KIT.md` - Offline bundle format
+- [ ] `CLAUDE.md` - Project coding standards
+- [ ] Sigstore bundle format: https://github.com/sigstore/protobuf-specs
+
+**Technical Prerequisites:**
+- [ ] Rekor v2 submission working (existing)
+- [ ] Merkle inclusion proof verification (existing)
+- [ ] PostgreSQL `attestor.entries` table populated
+- [ ] S3/RustFS archive store configured
+
+---
+
+## Scope & Boundaries
+
+### In Scope
+- Attestation bundle schema design
+- Bundle aggregation service
+- Organization key re-signing workflow
+- Scheduler job for monthly bundling
+- Bundle retention policy (24 months default)
+- Bundle export API
+- Integration with Offline Kit
+
+### Out of Scope
+- Initial keyless signing (Sprint 001)
+- CLI verification commands (Sprint 003)
+- CI/CD templates (Sprint 004)
+
+### Guardrails
+- Bundles MUST be deterministic (same inputs → same bundle hash)
+- Bundle creation MUST NOT modify original attestations
+- Retention policy MUST be configurable per tenant
+- All timestamps in UTC ISO-8601
+
+---

+## Decisions & Risks
+
+| ID | Decision/Risk | Status | Owner | Notes |
+|----|---------------|--------|-------|-------|
+| D001 | Monthly as default bundle cadence | DECIDED | — | Balance between overhead and granularity |
+| D002 | SHA-256 for Merkle tree | DECIDED | — | Consistent with Rekor, industry standard |
+| D003 | CBOR as optional compact format | DECIDED | — | ~40% smaller than JSON for transport |
+| D004 | 24-month default retention | DECIDED | — | Covers most compliance requirements |
+| R001 | Large bundle sizes for high-volume tenants | OPEN | — | Mitigate with pagination, streaming export |
+| R002 | Org key compromise | OPEN | — | Use HSM, implement key rotation |
+| R003 | S3 storage costs | OPEN | — | Enable lifecycle policies, intelligent tiering |

+## Execution Log
+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2025-12-26 | Sprint created from product advisory analysis; addresses reachability extractor gaps for diff-aware gates. | Project Mgmt |
+| 2025-12-26 | Verified existing extractors (Java, Node, Python, Go) are already implemented in `StellaOps.Scanner.CallGraph`. Tasks 1-21 marked DONE. | Implementer |
+| 2025-12-26 | Created `ICallGraphExtractorRegistry` and `CallGraphExtractorRegistry` with deterministic ordering. Updated DI registration. Task 22 DONE. | Implementer |
+| 2025-12-26 | Added `CallGraphExtractorRegistryTests.cs` with determinism verification tests. Task 23 DONE. | Implementer |
+| 2025-12-26 | Updated `src/Scanner/AGENTS.md` with extractor registry usage documentation. Task 24 DONE. Sprint complete. | Implementer |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- ✅ Decision made: Java extractor uses pure .NET bytecode parsing (no external ASM dependency needed).
+- ✅ Decision made: Node.js extractor uses Babel via `stella-callgraph-node` external tool with JSON output.
+- ✅ Decision made: Python extractor uses regex-based AST parsing for 3.8+ compatibility.
+- ✅ Decision made: Go extractor uses external `stella-callgraph-go` tool with static fallback analysis.
+- Risk mitigated: Dynamic dispatch in Java/Python - conservative over-approximation implemented, unknowns flagged.
+- Risk mitigated: Node.js dynamic requires - marked as unknown, runtime evidence can supplement.
+- Risk mitigated: Memory for large codebases - streaming/chunked processing with configurable depth limits via `ReachabilityAnalysisOptions.MaxDepth`.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- 2026-01-10 | REACH-JAVA-05 complete | Java extractor functional |
+- 2026-01-15 | REACH-NODE-06 complete | Node.js extractor functional |

+## Decisions & Risks
+- ✅ DECIDED: Sigstore instance → **Self-hosted** (on-premise product, air-gap friendly).
+- ✅ DECIDED: CI runners → **Gitea self-hosted runners** (not GitHub Actions).
+- Decision needed: Feed snapshot retention period. Recommend: 90 days default, configurable.
+- Risk: Keyless signing requires stable OIDC provider. Mitigation: fallback to key-based signing if OIDC unavailable.
+- Risk: Cross-platform float differences. Mitigation: use decimal for all numeric comparisons (already enforced).

+
+## Execution Log
+| Date (UTC) | Update | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 2025-12-26 | Sprint created from advisory analysis; identified 6 overlapping advisories for consolidation. | Project Mgmt |
+| 2025-12-27 | All tasks complete. Created `CONSOLIDATED - Deterministic Evidence and Verdict Architecture.md` with 11 sections covering canonical serialization, keyless signing, delta verdicts, reachability proofs, and implementation status matrix (~85% complete). Created `docs/technical/architecture/determinism-specification.md` with complete digest algorithm specs (VerdictId, EvidenceId, GraphRevisionId, ManifestId, PolicyBundleId), canonicalization rules, troubleshooting guide. Updated cross-references in policy architecture and scanner AGENTS. Skipped archival tasks (DOC-DET-08/09) as source files already in appropriate archive locations. | Implementer |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- Decision: Keep "Hybrid Binary and Call-Graph Analysis" separate (different focus). Recommend: Yes, it's about analysis methods not determinism.
+- Decision: Archive location. Recommend: `archived/2025-12-26-determinism-advisories/` with README explaining consolidation.
+- Decision: **Archival skipped** — source advisories already reside in `archived/2025-12-25-foundation-advisories/` and `archived/2025-12-26-foundation-advisories/`. Moving them again would break existing cross-references. Added "supersedes" notes in consolidated document instead.
+- Risk: Broken cross-references after archival. Mitigation: grep all docs for advisory filenames before archiving.
+- Risk: Loss of nuance from individual advisories. Mitigation: preserve verbatim sections where noted.

+| 2025-12-26 | **SPRINT COMPLETE**: All 18 tasks DONE. FuncProof infrastructure ready for integration. | Agent |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- **DECIDED**: Hash algorithm: Uses `StellaOps.Cryptography.ICryptoHash` with `HashPurpose.Graph` for regional compliance:
+  - `world` profile: BLAKE3-256 (default, fast)
+  - `fips/kcmvp/eidas` profile: SHA-256 (certified)
+  - `gost` profile: GOST3411-2012-256 (Russian)
+  - `sm` profile: SM3 (Chinese)
+  - Fallback: SHA-256 when no ICryptoHash provider is available (backward compatibility).
+  - Configuration: `config/crypto-profiles.sample.json` → `StellaOps.Crypto.Compliance.ProfileId`
+- **DECIDED**: Stripped binary handling: heuristic detection with confidence field (0.5 for heuristics, 0.8 for symbols, 1.0 for DWARF).
+- **DECIDED**: Trace depth limit: 10 hops max (FuncProofConstants.MaxTraceHops). Configurable via policy schema `hopBuckets.maxHops` and `FuncProofGenerationOptions.MaxTraceHops`.
+- **DECIDED**: Function ordering: sorted by offset for deterministic proof ID generation.
+- **DECIDED**: Configurable generation options via `FuncProofGenerationOptions` class:
+  - `MaxTraceHops`: Trace depth limit (default: 10)
+  - `MinConfidenceThreshold`: Filter low-confidence functions (default: 0.0)
+  - `DwarfConfidence`: DWARF detection confidence (default: 1.0)
+  - `SymbolConfidence`: Symbol table confidence (default: 0.8)
+  - `HeuristicConfidence`: Prolog/epilog detection confidence (default: 0.5)
+  - `InferredSizePenalty`: Multiplier for inferred sizes (default: 0.9)
+- **DECIDED**: SBOM evidence linking uses CycloneDX 1.6 `components.evidence.callflow` with `stellaops:funcproof:*` properties.
+- Risk: Function boundary detection may be imprecise for heavily optimized code. Mitigation: mark confidence per function.
+- Risk: Large binaries may produce huge FuncProof files. Mitigation: compress, limit to security-relevant functions.

+| 2025-12-26 | UNBLOCKED: Fixed pre-existing build errors in Policy.Storage.Postgres (ServiceCollectionExtensions interface alias), Telemetry.Core (TagList using), Replay.Core (duplicate CompressionAlgorithm, missing interface methods, Span conversions), and Policy.Engine (OperationalContext/MitigationFactors property mapping). Policy.Gateway now builds successfully. | Impl |
+| 2025-12-26 | CICD-GATE-02 DONE. Created RegistryWebhookEndpoints.cs with Docker Registry v2, Harbor, and generic webhook handlers at /api/v1/webhooks/registry/*. Created InMemoryGateEvaluationQueue.cs with Channel-based async queue and GateEvaluationWorker background service. Fixed duplicate IBudgetStore interface (consolidated in BudgetLedger.cs with ListAsync method). | Impl |
+| 2025-12-26 | CICD-GATE-05 DONE. Created GateCommandGroup.cs with `stella gate evaluate` and `stella gate status` commands. Supports --image, --baseline, --policy, --allow-override, --justification options. Returns GateExitCodes (0=Pass, 1=Warn, 2=Fail, 10+=errors). Outputs table/JSON formats via Spectre.Console. Registered in CommandFactory.cs. | Impl |
+| 2025-12-26 | CICD-GATE-06 DONE. Created GateBypassAuditEntry, IGateBypassAuditRepository, InMemoryGateBypassAuditRepository, and GateBypassAuditor service. Integrated into GateEndpoints to record bypasses with actor, justification, IP, and CI context. Includes rate limiting support. | Impl |
+| 2025-12-26 | CICD-GATE-07, CICD-GATE-08 DONE. Created GitHub Actions example workflow (.github/workflows/stellaops-gate-example.yml) and GitLab CI example (deploy/gitlab/stellaops-gate-example.gitlab-ci.yml). Both demonstrate gate evaluation, baseline strategies, override workflows, and deployment gating. | Impl |
+| 2025-12-26 | Sprint archived. Core gate endpoint, CLI, webhook handlers, audit logging, and CI examples complete. Remaining tasks (CICD-GATE-03, 09, 10) are Scheduler integration and documentation - can be done in follow-up sprint. | Impl |
 
 ## Decisions & Risks
 - Decision needed: Should Warn status block CI by default or pass-through? Recommend: configurable per-environment.

+# Aggregated Attestation Bundle Format
+
+This section describes the StellaOps Attestation Bundle format for aggregating multiple attestations for long-term verification.
+
+## Overview
+
+Aggregated attestation bundles collect multiple attestations from a time period into a single verifiable package. This enables:
+
+- **Long-term verification** of keyless-signed artifacts after certificate expiry
+- **Organizational endorsement** via optional org-key signature
+- **Offline verification** with bundled Rekor inclusion proofs
+- **Regulatory compliance** with audit-ready evidence packages

+# Bundle Rotation Operations Guide
+
+This guide covers operational procedures for attestation bundle rotation in StellaOps.
+
+## Overview
+
+Bundle rotation is a scheduled process that aggregates attestations from a time period into a verifiable bundle. This enables long-term verification of keyless-signed artifacts beyond their certificate expiry.
+
+## Rotation Schedule
+
+### Default Schedule
+
+```yaml
+attestor:
+  bundling:
+    schedule:
+      cron: "0 2 1 * *"   # Monthly on the 1st at 02:00 UTC
+      cadence: monthly
+      timezone: UTC
+      skipWeekends: false
+```
+
+### Cadence Options
+
+| Cadence | Period | Use Case |
+|---------|--------|----------|
+| `weekly` | Previous 7 days | High-volume environments |
+| `monthly` | Previous month | Standard deployment (default) |
+| `quarterly` | Previous quarter | Low-volume, compliance-focused |
+
+## Manual Rotation
+
+### Trigger Immediate Rotation
+
+```bash
+# Rotate current period
+stella attestor bundle rotate
+
+# Rotate specific period
+stella attestor bundle rotate --start 2025-12-01 --end 2025-12-31
+
+# Rotate for specific tenant
+stella attestor bundle rotate --tenant tenant-gov
+```
+
+### API Trigger
+
+```http
+POST /api/v1/bundles
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "periodStart": "2025-12-01T00:00:00Z",
+  "periodEnd": "2025-12-31T23:59:59Z",
+  "tenantId": null,
+  "signWithOrgKey": true,
+  "orgKeyId": "org-signing-key-2025"
+}
+```
+
+## Monitoring
+
+### Key Metrics
+
+| Metric | Description | Alert Threshold |
+|--------|-------------|-----------------|
+| `attestor_bundle_created_total` | Bundles created | N/A (informational) |
+| `attestor_bundle_creation_duration_seconds` | Creation time | > 30 minutes |
+| `attestor_bundle_attestations_count` | Attestations per bundle | > 10,000 |
+| `attestor_bundle_size_bytes` | Bundle size | > 100 MB |
+| `attestor_bundle_retention_deleted_total` | Expired bundles deleted | N/A |
+
+### Grafana Dashboard
+
+Import the attestor observability dashboard:
+```bash
+stella observability import --dashboard attestor-bundling
+```
+
+See: `docs/modules/attestor/operations/dashboards/attestor-observability.json`
+
+### Health Check
+
+```bash
+# Check bundle rotation status
+stella attestor bundle status
+
+# Sample output:
+# Last Rotation: 2025-12-01T02:00:00Z
+# Next Scheduled: 2026-01-01T02:00:00Z
+# Bundles This Month: 3
+# Total Attestations Bundled: 4,521
+# Status: Healthy
+```
+
+## Retention Policy
+
+### Configuration
+
+```yaml
+attestor:
+  bundling:
+    retention:
+      enabled: true
+      defaultMonths: 24
+      minimumMonths: 6
+      maximumMonths: 120
+      expiryAction: delete    # delete | archive | markOnly
+      archiveStorageTier: glacier
+      gracePeriodDays: 30
+      notifyBeforeExpiry: true
+      notifyDaysBeforeExpiry: 30
+      maxBundlesPerRun: 100
+```
+
+### Retention Actions
+
+| Action | Behavior |
+|--------|----------|
+| `delete` | Permanently remove expired bundles |
+| `archive` | Move to cold storage (S3 Glacier) |
+| `markOnly` | Mark as expired but retain |
+
+### Manual Retention Enforcement
+
+```bash
+# Preview expired bundles
+stella attestor bundle retention --dry-run
+
+# Apply retention policy
+stella attestor bundle retention --apply
+
+# Force delete specific bundle
+stella attestor bundle delete sha256:abc123...
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Bundle Creation Failed
+
+**Symptoms:** Rotation job completes with errors
+
+**Check:**
+```bash
+# View recent rotation logs
+stella logs --service attestor --filter "bundle rotation"
+
+# Check attestor health
+stella attestor health
+```
+
+**Common causes:**
+1. Database connection issues
+2. Insufficient attestations in period
+3. Org key unavailable for signing
+
+### Large Bundle Size
+
+**Symptoms:** Bundle exceeds size limits or takes too long
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Reduce `maxAttestationsPerBundle` to create multiple smaller bundles
+2. Increase `queryBatchSize` for faster database queries
+3. Enable compression for storage
+
+```yaml
+attestor:
+  bundling:
+    aggregation:
+      maxAttestationsPerBundle: 5000
+      queryBatchSize: 1000
+```
+
+### Org Key Signing Failed
+
+**Symptoms:** Bundle created without org signature
+
+**Check:**
+```bash
+# Verify org key availability
+stella signer keys list --type org
+
+# Test key signing
+stella signer keys test org-signing-key-2025
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Ensure KMS/HSM connectivity
+2. Verify key permissions
+3. Check key rotation schedule
+
+### Retention Not Running
+
+**Symptoms:** Expired bundles not being deleted
+
+**Check:**
+```bash
+# Verify retention is enabled
+stella attestor bundle retention --status
+
+# Check for blocked bundles
+stella attestor bundle list --status expired
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Ensure `retention.enabled: true`
+2. Check grace period configuration
+3. Verify storage backend permissions
+
+## Disaster Recovery
+
+### Bundle Export
+
+Export bundles for backup:
+
+```bash
+# Export all bundles from a period
+stella attestor bundle export \
+  --start 2025-01-01 \
+  --end 2025-12-31 \
+  --output /backup/bundles/
+
+# Export specific bundle
+stella attestor bundle export sha256:abc123 --output bundle.json
+```
+
+### Bundle Import
+
+Restore bundles from backup:
+
+```bash
+# Import bundle file
+stella attestor bundle import /backup/bundles/bundle-sha256-abc123.json
+
+# Bulk import
+stella attestor bundle import /backup/bundles/*.json
+```
+
+### Verification After Restore
+
+```bash
+# Verify imported bundle
+stella attestor bundle verify sha256:abc123
+
+# Verify all bundles
+stella attestor bundle verify --all
+```
+
+## Runbooks
+
+### Monthly Rotation Check
+
+1. **Pre-rotation (1 day before):**
+   ```bash
+   stella attestor bundle preview --period 2025-12
+   ```
+
+2. **Post-rotation (rotation day + 1):**
+   ```bash
+   stella attestor bundle list --created-after 2025-12-01
+   stella attestor bundle verify --period 2025-12
+   ```
+
+3. **Verify notifications sent:**
+   Check Slack/Teams/Email for rotation summary
+
+### Quarterly Audit
+
+1. **List all bundles:**
+   ```bash
+   stella attestor bundle list --format json > audit-report.json
+   ```
+
+2. **Verify sample bundles:**
+   ```bash
+   # Random sample of 10%
+   stella attestor bundle verify --sample 0.1
+   ```
+
+3. **Check retention compliance:**
+   ```bash
+   stella attestor bundle retention --audit
+   ```
+
+### Emergency Bundle Access
+
+For urgent verification needs:
+
+```bash
+# Extract specific attestation from bundle
+stella attestor bundle extract sha256:abc123 --entry-id uuid-1
+
+# Verify attestation outside bundle
+stella attestor verify --envelope attestation.dsse
+```

+# Risk Budget Enforcement
+
+This section describes the risk budget enforcement system that tracks and controls release risk accumulation over time.
+
+## Overview
+
+Risk budgets limit the cumulative risk accepted during a budget window (typically monthly). Each release consumes risk points based on the vulnerabilities it introduces or carries forward. When a budget is exhausted, further high-risk releases are blocked.
+
+## Key Concepts
+
+### Service Tiers
+
+Services are classified by criticality, which determines their risk budget allocation:
+
+| Tier | Name | Monthly Allocation | Description |
+|------|------|-------------------|-------------|
+| 0 | Internal | 300 RP | Internal-only, low business impact |
+| 1 | Customer-Facing Non-Critical | 200 RP | Customer-facing but non-critical |
+| 2 | Customer-Facing Critical | 120 RP | Critical customer-facing services |
+| 3 | Safety-Critical | 80 RP | Safety, financial, or data-critical |
+
+### Budget Status Thresholds
+
+Budget status transitions based on percentage consumed:
+
+| Status | Threshold | Behavior |
+|--------|-----------|----------|
+| Green | < 40% consumed | Normal operations |
+| Yellow | 40-69% consumed | Increased caution, warnings triggered |
+| Red | 70-99% consumed | High-risk diffs frozen, only low-risk allowed |
+| Exhausted | >= 100% consumed | Incident and security fixes only |
+
+### Budget Windows
+
+- **Default cadence**: Monthly (YYYY-MM format)
+- **Reset behavior**: No carry-over; unused budget expires
+- **Window boundary**: UTC midnight on the 1st of each month
+
+## API Endpoints

+```
+
+## CLI Commands
+
+### Check Status
+
+```bash
+stella budget status --service my-service
+```
+
+Output:
+```
+Service: my-service
+Window:  2025-12
+Tier:    Customer-Facing Non-Critical (1)
+Status:  Yellow
+
+Budget:  85 / 200 RP (42.5%)
+         ████████░░░░░░░░░░░░
+
+Remaining: 115 RP
+```
+
+### Consume Budget
+
+```bash
+stella budget consume --service my-service --points 25 --reason "Release v1.2.3"
+```
+
+### List All Budgets
+
+```bash
+stella budget list --status Yellow,Red
+```
+
+## Earned Capacity Replenishment
+
+Services demonstrating improved reliability can earn additional budget capacity:
+
+### Eligibility Criteria
+
+1. **MTTR Improvement**: Mean Time to Remediate must improve for 2 consecutive windows
+2. **CFR Improvement**: Change Failure Rate must improve for 2 consecutive windows
+3. **No Major Incidents**: No P1 incidents in the evaluation period
+
+### Increase Calculation
+
+- Minimum increase: 10% of base allocation
+- Maximum increase: 20% of base allocation
+- Scale: Proportional to improvement magnitude
+
+### Example
+
+```
+Service: payment-api (Tier 2, base 120 RP)
+MTTR: 48h → 36h → 24h (50% improvement)
+CFR:  15% → 12% → 8%  (47% improvement)
+
+Earned capacity: +20% = 24 RP
+New allocation: 144 RP for next window
+```
+
+## Notifications
+
+Budget threshold transitions trigger notifications:
+
+### Warning (Yellow)
+
+Sent when budget reaches 40% consumption:
+
+```
+Subject: [Warning] Risk Budget at 40% for my-service
+
+Your risk budget for my-service has reached the warning threshold.
+
+Current: 80 / 200 RP (40%)
+Status: Yellow
+
+Consider pausing non-critical changes until the next budget window.
+```
+
+### Critical (Red/Exhausted)
+
+Sent when budget reaches 70% or 100%:
+
+```
+Subject: [Critical] Risk Budget Exhausted for my-service
+
+Your risk budget for my-service has been exhausted.
+
+Current: 200 / 200 RP (100%)
+Status: Exhausted
+
+Only security fixes and incident responses are allowed.

 # Keyless Signing Guide
 
+This guide explains how to configure and use keyless signing with Sigstore Fulcio for CI/CD pipelines.
+
 ## Overview
 
-Keyless signing uses ephemeral X.509 certificates from Sigstore Fulcio, eliminating the need for persistent signing keys. This approach is ideal for CI/CD pipelines where key management is complex and error-prone.
+Keyless signing eliminates the need to manage long-lived signing keys by using short-lived X.509 certificates (~10 minute TTL) issued by Fulcio based on OIDC identity tokens. This approach:
 
-### How It Works
+- **Zero key management**: No secrets to rotate or protect
+- **Identity-bound signatures**: Signatures are cryptographically tied to the CI/CD identity
+- **Non-repudiation**: Audit trail via Rekor transparency log
+- **Industry standard**: Compatible with Sigstore ecosystem (cosign, gitsign, etc.)
+
+## How It Works

-1. **OIDC Token**: Pipeline requests identity token from CI platform
+1. **CI runner provides OIDC token** - GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc. provide ambient identity tokens
-2. **Fulcio Certificate**: Token exchanged for short-lived signing certificate (~10 min)
+2. **Token exchanged for certificate** - Fulcio validates the OIDC token and issues a short-lived certificate
-3. **Ephemeral Key**: Private key exists only in memory during signing
+3. **Ephemeral key generation** - A new ECDSA P-256 or Ed25519 key is generated per signing operation
-4. **Rekor Logging**: Signature logged to transparency log for verification after cert expiry
+4. **DSSE signing** - The payload is signed using the ephemeral key
-
+5. **Certificate attached** - The Fulcio certificate is included in the signed bundle for verification
-### Key Benefits
-
-| Benefit | Description |
-|---------|-------------|
-| **Zero Key Management** | No secrets to rotate, store, or protect |
-| **Identity Binding** | Signatures tied to OIDC identity (repo, branch, workflow) |
-| **Audit Trail** | All signatures logged to Rekor transparency log |
-| **Short-lived Certs** | Minimizes exposure window (~10 minutes) |
-| **Industry Standard** | Adopted by Kubernetes, npm, PyPI, and major ecosystems |

+  signing:
+    keyless:
+      identity:
+        expectedIssuers:

+```
+
+## CI/CD Integration
+
+### GitHub Actions
+
+```yaml

+on: [push]
+
+jobs:
+  sign:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    permissions:
+      id-token: write  # Required for OIDC token

+        run: |
+          curl -sSL https://get.stella-ops.io | bash
+
+      - name: Sign with keyless mode
+        run: |
+          stella sign --mode keyless \
+            --image ghcr.io/${{ github.repository }}:${{ github.sha }}
+```
+
+### GitLab CI
+
+```yaml
+sign:
+  image: registry.stella-ops.io/cli:latest
+  id_tokens:
+    SIGSTORE_ID_TOKEN:
+      aud: sigstore
+  script:
+    - stella sign --mode keyless --image $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:$CI_COMMIT_SHA
+```
+
+## Algorithm Support
+
+| Algorithm | Status | Use Case |
+|-----------|--------|----------|
+| ECDSA P-256 | Preferred | Default, widest compatibility |
+| Ed25519 | Supported | Better performance, growing adoption |
+
+Configure preferred algorithm:
+
+```yaml
+signer:
+  signing:
+    keyless:
+      algorithms:
+        preferred: "ECDSA_P256"
+        allowed: ["ECDSA_P256", "Ed25519"]
+```
+
+## Signed Bundle Format
+
+The keyless signing produces a DSSE envelope with embedded certificate:
+
+```json
+{
+  "payloadType": "application/vnd.in-toto+json",
+  "payload": "eyJfdHlwZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vaW4tdG90by5pby9TdGF0ZW1lbnQvdjEi...",
+  "signatures": [
+    {
+      "keyid": "",
+      "sig": "MEUCIQD..."
+    }
+  ],
+  "certificateChain": [
+    "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\nMIIC...",
+    "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\nMIIB..."
+  ],
+  "signingMode": "keyless",
+  "signingIdentity": {
+    "issuer": "https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com",
+    "subject": "https://github.com/org/repo/.github/workflows/ci.yml@refs/heads/main"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+Bundles signed with keyless mode can be verified using:
 
 ```bash
-stella attest verify \
+# Verify a signed bundle
-  --artifact sha256:abc123... \
+stella verify --bundle verdict.json \
-  --certificate-identity "repo:myorg/myrepo:ref:refs/heads/main" \
+  --expected-issuer "https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com" \
-  --certificate-oidc-issuer "https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com"
+  --expected-subject "https://github.com/myorg/myrepo/*"
 ```
 
-### Platform Identity Patterns
+The verification process:
-
+1. Validates the certificate chain to Fulcio roots
-#### GitHub Actions
+2. Verifies the signature using the certificate's public key
-
+3. Checks identity claims match expectations
-| Pattern | Matches |
+4. Optionally validates SCT (Signed Certificate Timestamp)
-|---------|---------|
-| `repo:org/repo:.*` | Any ref in repository |
-| `repo:org/repo:ref:refs/heads/main` | Main branch only |
-| `repo:org/repo:ref:refs/tags/v.*` | Version tags |
-| `repo:org/repo:environment:production` | Production environment |
-
-**Issuer:** `https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com`
-
-#### GitLab CI
-
-| Pattern | Matches |
-|---------|---------|
-| `project_path:group/project:.*` | Any ref in project |
-| `project_path:group/project:ref_type:branch:ref:main` | Main branch |
-| `project_path:group/project:ref_protected:true` | Protected refs only |
-
-**Issuer:** `https://gitlab.com` (or self-hosted URL)
-
-## Long-Term Verification
-
-### The Problem
-
-Fulcio certificates expire in ~10 minutes. How do you verify signatures months later?
-
-### The Solution: Rekor Proofs
-
-```
-At signing time:
-┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
-│ Signature + Certificate + Signed-Certificate-Timestamp (SCT) │
-│                            ↓                                  │
-│                 Logged to Rekor                               │
-│                            ↓                                  │
-│         Merkle Inclusion Proof returned                       │
-└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
-At verification time (even years later):
-┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
-│ 1. Check signature is valid (using cert public key)          │
-│ 2. Check SCT proves cert was logged when valid               │
-│ 3. Check Rekor inclusion proof (entry was logged)            │
-│ 4. Check signing time was within cert validity window        │
-│                            ↓                                  │
-│              Signature is valid! ✓                            │
-└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-```
-
-### Attestation Bundles
-
-For air-gapped verification, StellaOps bundles attestations with proofs:
-
-```bash
-# Export bundle with Rekor proofs
-stella attest export-bundle \
-  --image sha256:abc123... \
-  --include-proofs \
-  --output attestation-bundle.json
-
-# Verify offline
-stella attest verify --offline \
-  --bundle attestation-bundle.json \
-  --artifact sha256:abc123...
-```
 
 ## Troubleshooting
 
-### Common Errors
+### Common Issues
 
-| Error | Cause | Solution |
+**OIDC token not available**
-|-------|-------|----------|
+- Ensure id-token: write permission in GitHub Actions
-| `OIDC token expired` | Token older than 5 minutes | Re-acquire token before signing |
+- Ensure id_tokens is configured in GitLab CI
-| `Fulcio unavailable` | Network issues | Check connectivity, increase timeout |
+- Check ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_URL environment variable
-| `Certificate chain invalid` | Wrong Fulcio roots | Update root bundle |
-| `Identity mismatch` | Wrong verify constraints | Check issuer and identity patterns |
-| `Rekor proof missing` | Logging failed | Retry signing, check Rekor status |
 
-### Debug Mode
+**Fulcio returns 401**
+- OIDC token may have expired (default 5-10 min validity)
+- Audience mismatch - ensure token is for sigstore
+- Issuer not trusted by Fulcio instance
+
+**Certificate chain validation failed**
+- Root certificate bundle may be outdated
+- Private Fulcio instance roots not configured
+- Certificate expired (Fulcio certs are ~10 min TTL)
+
+### Debug Logging
+
+Enable verbose logging:
 
 ```bash
-# Enable verbose logging
+STELLAOPS_LOG_LEVEL=debug stella sign --mode keyless ...
-STELLAOPS_LOG_LEVEL=debug stella attest sign --keyless --artifact sha256:...
-
-# Inspect certificate details
-stella attest inspect --artifact sha256:... --show-cert
 ```
 
 ## Security Considerations
 
-### Best Practices
+1. **Ephemeral keys never persist** - Keys exist only in memory during signing
-
+2. **Short-lived certificates** - ~10 minute validity limits exposure window
-1. **Always verify identity**: Never accept `.*` as the full identity pattern
+3. **Identity verification** - Always configure expectedIssuers and expectedSubjectPatterns in production
-2. **Require Rekor proofs**: Use `--require-rekor` for production verification
+4. **SCT validation** - Enable requireSct: true for public Fulcio instances
-3. **Pin OIDC issuers**: Only trust expected issuers
-4. **Use environment constraints**: More specific than branch names
-5. **Monitor signing activity**: Alert on unexpected identities
-
-### Threat Model
-
-| Threat | Mitigation |
-|--------|------------|
-| Stolen OIDC token | Short lifetime (~5 min), audience binding |
-| Fulcio compromise | Certificate Transparency (SCT), multiple roots |
-| Rekor compromise | Multiple witnesses, checkpoints, consistency proofs |
-| Private key theft | Ephemeral keys, never persisted |

+## Overview
+
+This document captures competitive insights from leading vulnerability management tools and recommends patterns for adoption in StellaOps' visual diff and triage UI.
+
+## Competitive Analysis
+
+### Snyk — Reachability + Continuous Context
+
+**What they do:**
+- Reachability analysis builds call graphs to determine if vulnerable code is actually reachable
+- Risk scores factor in reachability, not just CVSS severity
+- Static program analysis combined with AI and expert curation
+- Continuous monitoring tracks issues over time as projects are rescanned
+
+**Adoption recommendation:** ✅ **Already implemented**
+- `GraphDiffComponent` visualizes reachability graphs with call paths
+- Hover highlighting shows connected paths from entry points to sinks
+- Plain language explanations help users understand "why" a finding matters
+
+### Anchore — Vulnerability Annotations & VEX Export
+
+**What they do:**
+- Vulnerability annotation workflows via UI or API
+- Labels: "not applicable", "mitigated", "under investigation"
+- Export as OpenVEX and CycloneDX VEX formats
+- Curated reasoning reduces redundant triage downstream
+
+**Adoption recommendation:** ✅ **Already implemented**
+- `TriageWorkspaceComponent` provides VEX decisioning with trust levels
+- `DeltaVerdict` backend exports signed VEX statements
+- Attestable exception objects with expiries and audit trails
+
+### Prisma Cloud — Runtime Defense
+
+**What they do:**
+- Runtime profiling and behavioral baselines for containers
+- Process, file, and network rule enforcement
+- Learning models detect anomalies
+- Runtime context during operational incidents
+
+**Adoption recommendation:** ⚠️ **Partial - Signals module**
+- `Signals` module provides runtime observation correlation
+- Hot symbol index tracks runtime function execution
+- Integration with FuncProof links runtime observations to static analysis
+
+---
+
+## Recommended UI Patterns
+
+### 1. Unified Triage Canvas
+
+**Pattern:** Single view combining static analysis with runtime evidence

+```
+
+**Implementation:** Already complete via `TriageWorkspaceComponent` + `GraphDiffComponent`
+
+### 2. Exploitability Scoring Visualization
+
+**Pattern:** Visual risk score breakdown showing contributing factors
+
+| Component | Weight | Score | Visualization |
+|-----------|--------|-------|---------------|
+| Reachability | 25% | 95 | ████████░░ |
+| VEX Coverage | 20% | 90 | █████████░ |
+| SBOM Completeness | 20% | 85 | ████████░░ |
+| Runtime Evidence | 20% | 88 | ████████░░ |
+| Policy Freshness | 15% | 92 | █████████░ |
+
+**Implementation:** `ProofTreeComponent` displays trust score breakdown with donut chart
+
+### 3. Attack Path Diagrams
+
+**Pattern:** Entry point → vulnerable function path highlighting
+
+- Color-coded paths (green=safe, red=vulnerable, amber=uncertain)
+- Hop count indicators
+- Confidence levels per path segment
+- Interactive path exploration with zoom-to-fit
+
+**Implementation:** `GraphDiffComponent` with `findPath()` and path highlighting
+
+### 4. Evidence Provenance Indicators
+
+**Pattern:** Visual indicators showing evidence source and trust level
+
+| Indicator | Meaning |
+|-----------|---------|
+| 🔒 Signed | DSSE-signed evidence |
+| ✓ Verified | Signature verified |
+| ⚡ Runtime | Observed at runtime |
+| 📋 Policy | Policy-derived |
+| 👤 Manual | Human decision |
+
+**Implementation:** `ProofTreeComponent` with evidence chunk icons
+
+---
+
+## Adoption Status
+
+| Pattern | Status | Component |
+|---------|--------|-----------|
+| Reachability graphs | ✅ Complete | `GraphDiffComponent` |
+| VEX decisioning | ✅ Complete | `TriageWorkspaceComponent` |
+| Attack path visualization | ✅ Complete | `GraphDiffComponent` + path highlighting |
+| Evidence provenance | ✅ Complete | `ProofTreeComponent` |
+| Plain language explanations | ✅ Complete | `PlainLanguageService` |
+| Runtime observation correlation | ✅ Complete | `Signals` module integration |
+| Offline replay packs | ✅ Complete | Evidence bundle export |
+| Trust score breakdown | ✅ Complete | `ProofTreeComponent` donut chart |
+
+---
+
+## Differentiation Strategy
+
+StellaOps differentiates from competitors by unifying these patterns into a single, evidence-rich, policy-driven triage experience:
+
+1. **Evidence-first:** Every decision is backed by cryptographic evidence
+2. **Policy-driven:** VEX as core policy objects, not just export format
+3. **Attestable:** Exceptions are attestable contracts with audit trails
+4. **Offline-capable:** Same UI/interactions work in air-gapped environments
+5. **Deterministic:** Reproducible verdicts across runs and environments

+# AI Surfacing UX Patterns Advisory
+
+**Status:** ANALYZED - Sprint Created
+**Date:** 2025-12-26
+**Type:** UX/Design Advisory
+**Implementation Sprint:** SPRINT_20251226_020_FE_ai_ux_patterns
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This advisory defines how AI results should surface in Stella Ops without becoming obtrusive. The core principle: **AI must behave like a high-quality staff officer—present when needed, silent when not, and always subordinate to evidence and policy.**
+
+## Core Design Principles
+
+### 1. Deterministic Verdict First, AI Second
+
+**Non-negotiable UI ordering:**
+1. Deterministic verdict (authoritative): severity, policy state, exploitability, SLA, delta
+2. Evidence summary (authoritative): minimal proof set that drove the verdict
+3. AI assist (non-authoritative unless evidence-backed): explanation, remediation, suggestions
+
+### 2. Progressive Disclosure UX
+
+AI should not add new screens or workflows. It appears as small, optional expansions:
+- **AI Chips**: Short (3-5 words), action-oriented, clickable
+- **"Explain" drawer**: Opens on click, not by default
+
+Chip examples:
+- "Likely Not Exploitable"
+- "Reachable Path Found"
+- "Fix Available: 1-step"
+- "Needs Evidence: runtime"
+- "VEX candidate"
+
+### 3. The "3-Line Doctrine"
+
+AI output constrained to 3 lines by default:
+- Line 1: What changed / why you're seeing this now
+- Line 2: Why it matters in this service
+- Line 3: Next best action (single step)
+
+Everything else behind "Show details" / "Show evidence" / "Show alternative fixes"
+
+### 4. Surface-by-Surface Guidance
+
+| Surface | AI Behavior |
+|---------|-------------|
+| Findings list | 1-2 AI chips max per row; no paragraphs in list view |
+| Finding detail | 3-panel layout: Verdict → Evidence → AI (subordinate) |
+| CI/CD output | Opt-in only (`--ai-summary`); max 1 paragraph |
+| PR comments | Only on state change + actionable fix; no repeated comments |
+| Notifications | Only on state changes; never "still the same" |
+| Executive dashboards | No generative narrative; "Top 3 drivers" with evidence links |
+
+### 5. Contextual Command Bar ("Ask Stella")
+
+Not a persistent chatbot; a scoped command bar:
+- Auto-scoped to current context (finding/build/service/release)
+- Suggested prompts as buttons: "Explain why exploitable", "How to fix?"
+- Freeform input as secondary option
+
+### 6. Clear Authority Labels
+
+Every AI output labeled:
+- **Evidence-backed**: Links to evidence nodes, citations valid
+- **Suggestion**: No evidence; user decision required
+
+### 7. User Controls
+
+- AI verbosity: Minimal / Standard / Detailed
+- AI surfaces: Toggle per surface (PR comments, CI logs, UI)
+- Notifications: Default off; per-team opt-in
+
+## Implementation Status
+

+## Executive Summary
+
+This document consolidates StellaOps guidance on **deterministic verdict computation**, **canonical serialization**, **keyless signing**, and **proof-carrying reachability** into a single authoritative reference. The core proposition:
+
+**Same SBOM + VEX + reachability subgraph ⇒ exact same, replayable verdict every time—with auditor-grade trails and signed evidence.**
+
+### Key Capabilities
+
+1. **Deterministic Evaluation**: Pure functions with no wall-clock, RNG, or network during evaluation
+2. **Canonical Serialization**: RFC 8785 JCS + Unicode NFC for stable hashes
+3. **Content-Addressed Storage**: Every input identified by cryptographic hash
+4. **Keyless Signing**: Sigstore/Fulcio for short-lived certificates with Rekor transparency
+5. **Proof-Carrying Reachability**: Minimal, reproducible chains showing why vulns can/cannot hit runtime
+6. **Delta Verdicts**: Signed diffs between evaluation states for CI/CD gates

+
+## 1. Why Determinism Matters
+
+### Reproducibility for Auditors
+Auditors can replay any scan and get identical results. No "it worked on my machine" scenarios—verdicts are cryptographically verifiable.
+
+### Content-Addressed Caching
+Hash-based storage enables:
+- Deduplication across scans
+- Cache hits on unchanged inputs
+- Efficient delta computation
+
+### Cross-Agent Consensus
+Multiple evaluation engines can independently produce the same verdict for the same manifest, enabling:
+- Distributed verification
+- Multi-party attestations
+- Trust without centralization
+
+### Operational Clarity
+Diffs between builds become crisp, machine-verifiable artifacts. When a verdict changes, you know exactly why.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Core Principles
+
+### 2.1 No Wall-Clock Time
+Evaluation functions never read current time. All timestamps come from input manifests.
+
+### 2.2 No Random Iteration
+All collections use deterministic ordering:
+- Objects: keys sorted lexicographically (Ordinal)
+- Arrays: preserve input order or sort by stable key
+- Sets: sort by content hash
+
+### 2.3 No Network During Evaluation
+All external data is pre-fetched and pinned by hash before evaluation begins.
+
+### 2.4 Content-Addressing All Inputs
+Every input is identified by its cryptographic hash:
+- `sbom_sha256` - SBOM graph hash
+- `vex_set_sha256[]` - VEX document hashes
+- `reach_subgraph_sha256` - Reachability graph hash
+- `feeds_snapshot_sha256` - Feed snapshot hash
+- `policy_bundle_sha256` - Policy/rules hash
+
+### 2.5 Pure Evaluation Functions
+The verdict function is referentially transparent:
+```
+Verdict = f(Manifest)
+```
+Given the same manifest, the function always returns the same verdict.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Canonical Serialization
+
+### 3.1 The Rule
+**Adopt one canonicalization spec and apply it everywhere at ingress/egress of your resolver:**
+
+- **Strings:** normalize to **UTF-8, Unicode NFC** (Normalization Form C)
+- **JSON:** canonicalize with **RFC 8785 JCS**: sorted keys, no insignificant whitespace, exact number formatting
+- **Binary for hashing/signing:** always hash **the canonical bytes**, never ad-hoc serializer output
+
+### 3.2 Implementation
+
+```csharp
+// Canonical JSON with version markers
+using StellaOps.Canonical.Json;
+
+var canonical = CanonJson.Canonicalize(myObject);
+var hash = CanonJson.Hash(myObject);
+var versionedHash = CanonJson.HashVersioned(myObject, CanonVersion.V1);
+
+// NFC normalization
+using StellaOps.Resolver;
+
+var normalizer = NfcStringNormalizer.Instance;
+var nfcString = normalizer.Normalize(input);
+
+// RFC 8785 JCS for raw JSON bytes
+using StellaOps.Attestor.ProofChain.Json;
+
+var canonicalizer = new Rfc8785JsonCanonicalizer();
+var canonicalBytes = canonicalizer.Canonicalize(utf8JsonBytes);
+```
+
+### 3.3 Canonicalization Rules
+
+1. **Object keys** sorted lexicographically (Ordinal comparison)
+2. **No whitespace** or formatting variations
+3. **UTF-8 encoding** without BOM
+4. **IEEE 754 number formatting** (no trailing zeros, no exponent for small integers)
+5. **Version markers** for migration safety: `_canonVersion: "stella:canon:v1"`
+
+### 3.4 Contract
+
+1. Inputs may arrive in any well-formed JSON
+2. Resolver **normalizes strings (NFC)** and **re-emits JSON in JCS**
+3. **Content hash** is computed from **JCS-canonical UTF-8 bytes** only
+4. Any signature/attestation (DSSE/OCI) MUST cover those same bytes
+5. Any module that can't speak JCS must pass raw data to the resolver
+
+---
+
+## 4. Data Artifacts
+
+### 4.1 Scan Manifest
+
+The manifest lists all input hashes plus engine version:
+
+```json
+{
+  "sbom_sha256": "sha256:a1b2c3...",
+  "vex_set_sha256": ["sha256:d4e5f6...", "sha256:g7h8i9..."],
+  "reach_subgraph_sha256": "sha256:j0k1l2...",
+  "feeds_snapshot_sha256": "sha256:m3n4o5...",
+  "policy_bundle_sha256": "sha256:p6q7r8...",
+  "engine_version": "1.0.0",
+  "policy_semver": "2025.12",
+  "options_hash": "sha256:s9t0u1..."
+}
+```
+
+### 4.2 Verdict
+
+Canonical JSON with stable key order:
+
+```json
+{
+  "risk_score": 42,
+  "status": "warn",
+  "unknowns_count": 3,
+  "evidence_refs": [
+    "sha256:...",
+    "sha256:..."
+  ],
+  "explanations": [
+    {
+      "template": "CVE-{cve} suppressed by VEX claim from {source}",
+      "params": {"cve": "2025-1234", "source": "vendor"},
+      "machine_reason": "VEX_NOT_AFFECTED"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### 4.3 Delta Verdict
+
+Computed between two manifests/verdicts:
+
+```json
+{
+  "base_manifest_sha": "sha256:...",
+  "head_manifest_sha": "sha256:...",
+  "added_findings": [...],
+  "removed_findings": [...],
+  "severity_shift": [...],
+  "unknowns_delta": -2,
+  "policy_effects": [...],
+  "timestamp": "2025-12-26T00:00:00Z",
+  "signature": "..."
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. Signing & Attestation
+
+### 5.1 Keyless Signing with Sigstore
+
+Use **keyless** signing in CI pipelines:
+- Obtain an OIDC token from your CI runner
+- **Fulcio** issues a short-lived X.509 cert (~10 minutes)
+- Sign with the ephemeral key
+- Cert + signature logged to **Rekor**
+
+**Why:** No key escrow in CI, nothing persistent to steal, every signature is time-bound + transparency-logged.
+
+### 5.2 Hardware-Backed Org Key
+
+Reserve a physical HSM/YubiKey (or KMS) key for:
+- Re-signing monthly bundles
+- Offline/air-gapped verification workflows
+
+### 5.3 OCI Attestations
+
+Emit DSSE/attestations as OCI-attached artifacts:
+- SBOM deltas
+- Reachability graphs
+- Policy results
+- Verdicts
+
+### 5.4 Bundle Rotation Policy
+
+Every month:
+1. Collect older attestations
+2. Re-sign into a long-lived "bundle" (plus timestamps) using the org key
+3. Bundle contains: cert chain, Rekor inclusion proof, timestamps
+
+**Suggested SLOs:**
+- CI keyless cert TTL: 10 minutes (Fulcio default)
+- Bundle cadence: monthly (or per release)
+- Retention: N=24 months
+
+### 5.5 Offline Verification
+
+Mirror the image + attestation + Rekor proof (or bundle) into the disconnected registry. Verify with `cosign verify` using mirrored materials—no internet needed.
+
+### 5.6 Implementation Sprints
+
+| Sprint | Module | Topic |
+|--------|--------|-------|
+| SPRINT_20251226_001 | Signer | Fulcio keyless signing client |
+| SPRINT_20251226_002 | Attestor | Monthly bundle rotation |
+| SPRINT_20251226_003 | Attestor | Offline/air-gap verification |
+| SPRINT_20251226_004 | Backend | CI/CD integration templates |
+

+
+## 6. Proof-Carrying Reachability
+
+### 6.1 The Concept
+
+**Reachability** asks: "Could data flow from an attacker to the vulnerable code path during real execution?"
+
+**Proof-carrying reachability** says: "Don't just say yes/no—hand me a *proof chain* I can re-run."
+
+### 6.2 Proof Structure
+
+1. **Scope hash**: content digests for artifact(s) (image layers, SBOM nodes, commit IDs, compiler flags)
+2. **Policy hash**: the decision rules used
+3. **Graph snippet**: the *minimal subgraph* connecting entrypoints → sources → validators → sinks
+4. **Conditions**: feature flags, env vars, platform guards, version ranges, eBPF-observed edges
+5. **Verdict** (signed): A → {Affected | Not Affected | Under-Constrained} with reason codes
+6. **Replay manifest**: the inputs needed to recompute the same verdict
+
+### 6.3 Example Proof
+
+```
+Artifact:   svc.payments:1.4.7 (image digest sha256:...)
+CVE:        CVE-2024-XYZ in libyaml 0.2.5
+Entry:      POST /import, body → YamlDeserializer.Parse
+Guards:     none (no schema/whitelist prior to parse)
+Edge chain: HttpBody → Parse(bytes) → LoadNode() → vulnerable_path()
+Condition:  feature flag BULK_IMPORT=true
+Verdict:    AFFECTED
+Signed:     DSSE envelope over {scope hash, policy hash, graph snippet, conditions, verdict}
+```
+
+### 6.4 Operating Modes
+
+| Mode | Unknowns Policy | Proofs |
+|------|-----------------|--------|
+| **Strict** (prod) | Fail-closed | Required for Not Affected |
+| **Lenient** (dev) | Tolerated | Optional but encouraged |
+
+### 6.5 What to Measure
+
+- Proof generation rate
+- Median proof size (KB)
+- Replay success %
+- Proof dedup ratio
+- "Unknowns" burn-down
+
+---
+
+## 7. Delta Verdicts
+
+### 7.1 Evidence Model
+
+A **semantic delta** captures meaningful differences between two states:
+
+```json
+{
+  "subject": {"ociDigest": "sha256:..."},
+  "inputs": {
+    "feeds": [{"type":"cve","digest":"sha256:..."}],
+    "tools": {"sbomer":"1.6.3","reach":"0.9.0","policy":"lattice-2025.12"},
+    "baseline": {"sbomG":"sha256:...","vexSet":"sha256:..."}
+  },
+  "delta": {
+    "components": {"added":[...],"removed":[...],"updated":[...]},
+    "reachability": {"edgesAdded":[...],"edgesRemoved":[...]},
+    "settings": {"changed":[...]},
+    "vex": [{"cve":"CVE-2025-1234","from":"affected","to":"not_affected",
+             "reason":"config_flag_off","evidenceRef":"att#cfg-42"}],
+    "attestations": {"changed":[...]}
+  },
+  "verdict": {
+    "decision": "allow",
+    "riskBudgetUsed": 2,
+    "policyId": "lattice-2025.12",
+    "explanationRefs": ["vex[0]","reachability.edgesRemoved[3]"]
+  },
+  "signing": {"dsse":"...","signer":"stella-authority"}
+}
+```
+
+### 7.2 Merge Semantics
+
+Define a policy-controlled lattice for claims:
+- **Orderings:** `exploit_observed > affected > under_investigation > fixed > not_affected`
+- **Source weights:** vendor, distro, internal SCA, runtime sensor, pentest
+- **Conflict rules:** tie-breaks, quorum, freshness windows, required evidence hooks
+
+### 7.3 OCI Attachment
+
+Publish delta verdicts as OCI-attached attestations:
+- Media type: `application/vnd.stella.delta-verdict+json`
+- Attached alongside SBOM + VEX
+
+---
+
+## 8. Engine Architecture
+
+### 8.1 Evaluation Pipeline
+
+1. **Normalize inputs**
+   - SBOM: sort by `packageUrl`/`name@version`; resolve aliases
+   - VEX: normalize provider → `vex_id`, `product_ref`, `status`
+   - Reachability: adjacency lists sorted by node ID; hash after topological ordering
+   - Feeds: lock to snapshot (timestamp + commit/hash); no live calls
+
+2. **Policy bundle**
+   - Declarative rules compiled to canonical IR
+   - Explicit merge precedence (lattice-merge table)
+   - Unknowns policy baked in
+
+3. **Evaluation**
+   - Build finding set: `(component, vuln, context)` tuples with deterministic IDs
+   - Apply lattice-based VEX merge with evidence pointers
+   - Compute `status` and `risk_score` using fixed-precision math
+
+4. **Emit**
+   - Canonicalize verdict JSON (RFC 8785 JCS)
+   - Sign verdict (DSSE/COSE/JWS)
+   - Attach as OCI attestation
+
+### 8.2 Storage & Indexing
+
+- **CAS (content-addressable store):** `/evidence/<sha256>` for SBOM/VEX/graphs/feeds/policies
+- **Verdict registry:** keyed by `(image_digest, manifest_sha, engine_version)`
+- **Delta ledger:** append-only, signed; supports cross-agent consensus
+
+---
+
+## 9. Testing Strategy
+
+### 9.1 Golden Tests
+
+Fixtures of manifests → frozen verdict JSONs (byte-for-byte comparison).
+
+```csharp
+[Theory]
+[MemberData(nameof(GoldenTestCases))]
+public async Task Verdict_MatchesGoldenOutput(string manifestPath, string expectedVerdictPath)
+{
+    var manifest = await LoadManifest(manifestPath);
+    var actual = await _engine.Evaluate(manifest);
+    var expected = await File.ReadAllBytesAsync(expectedVerdictPath);
+    
+    Assert.Equal(expected, CanonJson.Canonicalize(actual));
+}
+```
+
+### 9.2 Chaos Determinism Tests
+
+Vary thread counts, env vars, map iteration seeds; assert identical verdicts.
+
+```csharp
+[Fact]
+public async Task Verdict_IsDeterministic_AcrossThreadCounts()
+{
+    var manifest = CreateTestManifest();
+    var verdicts = new List<byte[]>();
+    
+    for (int threads = 1; threads <= 16; threads++)
+    {
+        var verdict = await EvaluateWithThreads(manifest, threads);
+        verdicts.Add(CanonJson.Canonicalize(verdict));
+    }
+    
+    Assert.All(verdicts, v => Assert.Equal(verdicts[0], v));
+}
+```
+
+### 9.3 Cross-Engine Round-Trips
+
+Two independent builds of the engine produce the same verdict for the same manifest.
+
+### 9.4 Time-Travel Tests
+
+Replay older feed snapshots to ensure stability.
+

+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This document consolidates StellaOps guidance on **diff-aware release gates**, **risk budgets**, **delta verdicts**, and **VEX trust scoring** into a single authoritative reference. The core proposition:
+
+**Ship fast on low-risk diffs, slow down only when the change warrants it—with deterministic, auditable, replayable evidence at every step.**
+
+### Key Capabilities
+
+1. **Risk Budgets**: Quantitative "capacity to take risk" per service tier, preventing reliability degradation
+2. **Diff-Aware Gates**: Release strictness scales with *what changed*, not generic process
+3. **Delta Verdicts**: Signed, replayable verdicts comparing before/after states
+4. **VEX Trust Scoring**: Lattice-based merge of conflicting vulnerability evidence
+5. **Exception Workflow**: Auditable, evidence-backed, auto-expiring exceptions
+6. **Visual Diffs**: Explainable triage UI showing exactly what changed and why

+
+## 1. Core Concepts
+
+### 1.1 SBOM, VEX, and Reachability
+
+- **SBOM (Software Bill of Materials)**: Complete inventory of components (CycloneDX 1.6 / SPDX 3.0.1)
+- **VEX (Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange)**: Claims about whether vulnerabilities affect a specific product
+- **Reachability**: Analysis of whether vulnerable code paths are actually exercised at runtime
+
+### 1.2 Semantic Delta
+
+A **semantic delta** captures *meaningful* differences between two states:
+
+- Components added/removed/updated
+- Reachability edges added/removed
+- VEX claim transitions (affected → not_affected)
+- Configuration/feature flag changes
+- Attestation/provenance changes
+
+### 1.3 Determinism-First Principles
+
+All verdict computations must be:
+
+- **Reproducible**: Same inputs → identical outputs, always
+- **Content-addressed**: Every input identified by cryptographic hash
+- **Declarative**: Compact manifest lists all input hashes + engine version
+- **Pure**: No wall-clock time, no random iteration, no network during evaluation
+
+---
+
+## 2. Risk Budget Model
+
+### 2.1 Service Tiers
+
+Each service/product component must be assigned a **Criticality Tier**:
+
+| Tier | Description | Monthly Budget (RP) |
+|------|-------------|---------------------|
+| **Tier 0** | Internal only, low business impact | 300 |
+| **Tier 1** | Customer-facing non-critical | 200 |
+| **Tier 2** | Customer-facing critical | 120 |
+| **Tier 3** | Safety/financial/data-critical | 80 |
+
+### 2.2 Risk Point Scoring
+
+**Release Risk Score (RRS) = Base + Diff Risk + Operational Context − Mitigations**
+
+**Base (by criticality):**
+- Tier 0: +1
+- Tier 1: +3
+- Tier 2: +6
+- Tier 3: +10
+
+**Diff Risk (additive):**
+| Change Type | Points |
+|-------------|--------|
+| Docs, comments, non-executed code | +1 |
+| UI changes, refactors with high coverage | +3 |
+| API contract changes, dependency upgrades | +6 |
+| Database schema migrations, auth logic | +10 |
+| Infra/networking, encryption, payment flows | +15 |
+
+**Operational Context (additive):**
+| Condition | Points |
+|-----------|--------|
+| Active incident or recent Sev1/Sev2 | +5 |
+| Error budget < 50% remaining | +3 |
+| High on-call load | +2 |
+| Release during freeze window | +5 |
+
+**Mitigations (subtract):**
+| Control | Points |
+|---------|--------|
+| Feature flag with staged rollout + kill switch | −3 |
+| Canary + automated health gates + tested rollback | −3 |
+| High-confidence integration coverage | −2 |
+| Backward-compatible migration with proven rollback | −2 |
+| Change isolated behind permission boundary | −2 |
+
+### 2.3 Budget Thresholds
+
+| Status | Remaining | Action |
+|--------|-----------|--------|
+| **Green** | ≥60% | Normal operation |
+| **Yellow** | 30–59% | Gates tighten by 1 level for medium/high-risk diffs |
+| **Red** | <30% | Freeze high-risk diffs; allow only low-risk or reliability work |
+| **Exhausted** | ≤0% | Incident/security fixes only with explicit sign-off |
+
+### 2.4 Risk Budget Visualization
+
+The **Risk Budget Burn-Up Chart** is the key PM dashboard:
+
+- **X-axis**: Calendar dates up to code freeze
+- **Y-axis**: Risk points
+- **Budget line**: Allowable risk over time (flat or stepped)
+- **Actual Risk line**: Cumulative unknowns + knowns − mitigations
+- **Shaded area**: Headroom (green) or Overrun (red)
+- **Vertical markers**: Feature freeze, pen-test start, dependency bumps
+- **Burn targets**: Dotted lines showing required pace
+
+**Dashboard KPIs:**
+- "Headroom: 28 pts (green)"
+- "Unknowns↑ +6 (24h)", "Risk retired −18 (7d)"
+- "Exceptions expiring: 3"
+- "At current burn, overrun in 5 days"
+
+---
+
+## 3. Release Gate Levels
+
+### 3.1 Gate Definitions
+
+#### G0 — No-risk / Administrative
+**Use for:** docs-only, comments-only, non-functional metadata
+
+**Requirements:**
+- Lint/format checks
+- Basic CI pass (build)
+
+#### G1 — Low Risk
+**Use for:** small localized changes with strong unit coverage, non-core UI, telemetry additions
+
+**Requirements:**
+- All automated unit tests
+- Static analysis/linting
+- 1 peer review
+- Automated deploy to staging
+- Post-deploy smoke checks
+
+#### G2 — Moderate Risk
+**Use for:** moderate logic changes in customer-facing paths, dependency upgrades, backward-compatible API changes
+
+**Requirements:**
+- G1 +
+- Integration tests for impacted modules
+- Code owner review
+- Feature flag required if customer impact possible
+- Staged rollout: canary or small cohort
+- Rollback plan documented in PR
+
+#### G3 — High Risk
+**Use for:** schema migrations, auth/permission changes, core business logic, infra changes
+
+**Requirements:**
+- G2 +
+- Security scan + dependency audit
+- Migration plan (forward + rollback) reviewed
+- Load/performance checks if in hot path
+- New/updated dashboards/alerts
+- Release captain sign-off
+- Progressive delivery with automatic health gates
+
+#### G4 — Very High Risk / Safety-Critical
+**Use for:** Tier 3 systems with low budget, freeze window exceptions, broad blast radius, post-incident remediation
+
+**Requirements:**
+- G3 +
+- Formal risk review (PM+DM+Security/SRE) in writing
+- Explicit rollback rehearsal
+- Extended canary with success/abort criteria
+- Customer comms plan if impact plausible
+- Post-release verification checklist executed
+
+### 3.2 Gate Selection Logic
+
+1. Compute **RRS** from diff + context
+2. Map RRS to default gate:
+   - 1–5 RP → G1
+   - 6–12 RP → G2
+   - 13–20 RP → G3
+   - 21+ RP → G4
+3. Apply modifiers:
+   - Budget Yellow → escalate one gate for ≥G2
+   - Budget Red → escalate one gate for ≥G1, block high-risk unless exception
+   - Active incident → block non-fix releases by default
+
+---
+
+## 4. Delta Verdict Engine
+
+### 4.1 Core Architecture
+
+The delta verdict engine computes **deterministic, signed verdicts** comparing two states:
+
+```
+Verdict = f(Manifest)
+```
+
+Where `Manifest` contains:
+- `sbom_sha256` - SBOM graph hash
+- `vex_set_sha256[]` - VEX document hashes
+- `reach_subgraph_sha256` - Reachability graph hash
+- `feeds_snapshot_sha256` - Feed snapshot hash
+- `policy_bundle_sha256` - Policy/rules hash
+- `engine_version` - Engine version for reproducibility
+
+### 4.2 Evaluation Pipeline
+
+1. **Normalize inputs**
+   - SBOM: sort by `packageUrl`/`name@version`; resolve aliases
+   - VEX: normalize provider → `vex_id`, `product_ref`, `status`
+   - Reachability: adjacency lists sorted by node ID; hash after topological ordering
+   - Feeds: lock to snapshot (timestamp + commit/hash); no live calls
+
+2. **Policy bundle**
+   - Declarative rules compiled to canonical IR
+   - Explicit merge precedence (lattice-merge table)
+   - Unknowns policy baked in: e.g., `fail_if_unknowns > N in prod`
+
+3. **Evaluation**
+   - Build finding set: `(component, vuln, context)` tuples with deterministic IDs
+   - Apply lattice-based VEX merge with evidence pointers
+   - Compute `status` and `risk_score` using fixed-precision math
+
+4. **Emit**
+   - Canonicalize verdict JSON (RFC 8785 JCS)
+   - Sign verdict (DSSE/COSE/JWS)
+   - Attach as OCI attestation to image/digest
+
+### 4.3 Delta Verdict Structure
+
+```json
+{
+  "subject": {"ociDigest": "sha256:..."},
+  "inputs": {
+    "feeds": [{"type":"cve","digest":"sha256:..."}],
+    "tools": {"sbomer":"1.6.3","reach":"0.9.0","policy":"lattice-2025.12"},
+    "baseline": {"sbomG":"sha256:...","vexSet":"sha256:..."}
+  },
+  "delta": {
+    "components": {"added":[...],"removed":[...],"updated":[...]},
+    "reachability": {"edgesAdded":[...],"edgesRemoved":[...]},
+    "settings": {"changed":[...]},
+    "vex": [{"cve":"CVE-2025-1234","from":"affected","to":"not_affected",
+             "reason":"config_flag_off","evidenceRef":"att#cfg-42"}],
+    "attestations": {"changed":[...]}
+  },
+  "verdict": {
+    "decision": "allow",
+    "riskBudgetUsed": 2,
+    "policyId": "lattice-2025.12",
+    "explanationRefs": ["vex[0]","reachability.edgesRemoved[3]"]
+  },
+  "signing": {"dsse":"...","signer":"stella-authority"}
+}
+```
+
+### 4.4 Replay Contract
+
+For deterministic replay, pin and record:
+- Feed snapshots + hashes
+- Scanner versions + rule packs + lattice/policy version
+- SBOM generator version + mode
+- Reachability engine settings
+- Merge semantics ID
+
+**Replayer re-hydrates exact inputs and must reproduce the same verdict bit-for-bit.**
+
+---
+
+## 5. Smart-Diff Algorithm
+
+### 5.1 Material Risk Change Detection
+
+**FindingKey:** `(component_purl, component_version, cve_id)`
+
+**RiskState Fields:**
+- `reachable: bool | unknown`
+- `vex_status: enum` (AFFECTED | NOT_AFFECTED | FIXED | UNDER_INVESTIGATION | UNKNOWN)
+- `in_affected_range: bool | unknown`
+- `kev: bool`
+- `epss_score: float | null`
+- `policy_flags: set<string>`
+- `evidence_links: list<EvidenceLink>`
+
+### 5.2 Change Detection Rules
+
+**Rule R1: Reachability Flip**
+- `reachable` changes: `false → true` (risk ↑) or `true → false` (risk ↓)
+
+**Rule R2: VEX Status Flip**
+- Meaningful changes: `AFFECTED ↔ NOT_AFFECTED`, `UNDER_INVESTIGATION → NOT_AFFECTED`
+
+**Rule R3: Affected Range Boundary**
+- `in_affected_range` flips: `false → true` or `true → false`
+
+**Rule R4: Intelligence/Policy Flip**
+- `kev` changes `false → true`
+- `epss_score` crosses configured threshold
+- `policy_flag` changes severity (warn → block)
+
+### 5.3 Suppression Rules
+
+**All must apply for suppression:**
+1. `reachable == false`
+2. `vex_status == NOT_AFFECTED`
+3. `kev == false`
+4. No policy override
+
+**Patch Churn Suppression:**
+- If version changes AND `in_affected_range` remains false in both AND no KEV/policy flip → suppress
+
+### 5.4 Priority Score Formula
+
+```
+score =
+  + 1000 if new.kev
+  + 500 if new.reachable
+  + 200 if reason includes RANGE_FLIP to affected
+  + 150 if VEX_FLIP to AFFECTED
+  + 0..100 based on EPSS (epss * 100)
+  + policy weight: +300 if decision BLOCK, +100 if WARN
+```
+
+### 5.5 Reachability Gate (3-Bit Severity)
+
+```csharp
+public sealed record ReachabilityGate(
+    bool? Reachable,       // true / false / null for unknown
+    bool? ConfigActivated,
+    bool? RunningUser,
+    int Class,             // 0..7 derived from the bits when all known
+    string Rationale
+);
+```
+
+**Class Computation:** 0-7 based on 3 binary gates (reachable, config-activated, running user)
+
+**Unknown Handling:** Never silently treat `null` as `false` or `true`. If any bit is `null`, set `Class = -1` or compute from known bits only.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Exception Workflow
+
+### 6.1 Exception Entity Model
+
+```csharp
+public record Exception(
+    string Id,
+    string Scope,           // image:repo/app:tag, component:pkg@ver
+    string Subject,         // CVE-2025-1234, package name
+    string Reason,          // Human-readable justification
+    List<string> EvidenceRefs,  // att:sha256:..., vex:sha256:...
+    string CreatedBy,
+    DateTime CreatedAt,
+    DateTime? ExpiresAt,
+    string PolicyBinding,
+    string Signature
+);
+```
+
+### 6.2 Exception Requirements
+
+- **Signed rationale + evidence**: Justification with linked proofs (attestation IDs, VEX note, reachability subgraph slice)
+- **Auto-expiry & revalidation**: Scheduler re-tests on expiry or when feeds mark "fix available / EPSS ↑ / reachability ↑"
+- **Audit view**: Timeline of exception lifecycle (who/why, evidence, re-checks)
+- **Policy hooks**: "allow only if: reason ∧ evidence present ∧ max TTL ≤ X ∧ owner = team-Y"
+- **Inheritance**: repo→image→env scoping with explicit shadowing
+
+### 6.3 Exception CLI
+
+```bash
+stella exception create \
+  --cve CVE-2025-1234 \
+  --scope image:repo/app:tag \
+  --reason "Feature disabled" \
+  --evidence att:sha256:... \
+  --ttl 30d
+```
+
+### 6.4 Break-Glass Policy
+
+Exceptions permitted only for:
+- Incident mitigation or customer harm prevention
+- Urgent security fix (actively exploited or high severity)
+- Legal/compliance deadline
+
+**Requirements:**
+- Recorded rationale in PR/release ticket
+- Named approvers: DM + on-call owner; PM for customer-impacting risk
+- Mandatory follow-up within 5 business days
+- **Budget penalty:** +50% of change's RRS
+
+---
+
+## 7. VEX Trust Scoring
+
+### 7.1 Evidence Atoms
+
+For every VEX statement, extract:
+- **scope**: package@version, image@digest, file hash
+- **claim**: affected, not_affected, under_investigation, fixed
+- **reason**: reachable?, feature flag off, vulnerable code not present
+- **provenance**: who said it, how it's signed
+- **when**: issued_at, observed_at, expires_at
+- **supporting artifacts**: SBOM ref, in-toto link, CVE IDs
+
+### 7.2 Confidence Score (C: 0–1)
+
+Multiply factors, cap at 1:
+
+| Factor | Weight |
+|--------|--------|
+| DSSE + Sigstore/Rekor inclusion | 0.35 |
+| Hardware-backed key or org OIDC | 0.15 |
+| NVD source | 0.20 |
+| Major distro PSIRT | 0.20 |
+| Upstream vendor | 0.20 |
+| Reputable CERT | 0.15 |
+| Small vendor | 0.10 |
+| Reachability proof/test | 0.25 |
+| Code diff linking | 0.20 |
+| Deterministic build link | 0.15 |
+| "Reason" present | 0.10 |
+| ≥2 independent concurring sources | +0.10 |
+
+### 7.3 Freshness Score (F: 0–1)
+
+```
+F = exp(−Δdays / τ)
+```
+
+**τ values by source class:**
+- Vendor VEX: τ = 30
+- NVD: τ = 90
+- Exploit-active feeds: τ = 14
+
+**Update reset:** New attestation with same subject resets Δdays.
+**Expiry clamp:** If `now > expires_at`, set F = 0.
+
+### 7.4 Claim Strength (S_claim)
+
+| Claim | Base Weight |
+|-------|-------------|
+| not_affected | 0.9 |
+| fixed | 0.8 |
+| affected | 0.7 |
+| under_investigation | 0.4 |
+
+**Reason multipliers:**
+- reachable? → +0.15 to "affected"
+- "feature flag off" → +0.10 to "not_affected"
+- platform mismatch → +0.10
+- backport patch note (with commit hash) → +0.10
+
+### 7.5 Lattice Merge
+
+Per evidence `e`:
+```
+Score(e) = C(e) × F(e) × S_claim(e)
+```
+
+Merge in distributive lattice ordered by:
+1. **Claim precedence**: not_affected > fixed > affected > under_investigation
+2. Break ties by **Score(e)**
+3. If competing top claims within ε (0.05), **escalate to "disputed"** and surface both with proofs
+
+### 7.6 Worked Example
+
+**Small vendor Sigstore VEX (signed, reason: code path unreachable, issued 7 days ago):**
+- C ≈ 0.35 + 0.10 + 0.10 + 0.25 = 0.70
+- F = exp(−7/30) ≈ 0.79
+- S_claim = 0.9 + 0.10 = 1.0 (capped)
+- **Score ≈ 0.70 × 0.79 × 1.0 = 0.55**
+
+**NVD entry (affected, no reasoning, 180 days old):**
+- C ≈ 0.20
+- F = exp(−180/90) ≈ 0.14
+- S_claim = 0.7
+- **Score ≈ 0.20 × 0.14 × 0.7 = 0.02**
+
+**Outcome:** Vendor VEX wins → **not_affected** with linked proofs.
+

+
+## 8. UI/UX Patterns
+
+### 8.1 Three-Pane Layout
+
+1. **Categories Pane**: Filterable list of change categories
+2. **Items Pane**: Delta items within selected category
+3. **Proof Pane**: Evidence details for selected item
+
+### 8.2 Visual Diff Components
+
+| Component | Purpose |
+|-----------|---------|
+| `DeltaSummaryStripComponent` | Risk delta header: "Risk ↓ Medium → Low" |
+| `ProofPaneComponent` | Evidence rail with witness paths |
+| `VexMergeExplanationComponent` | Trust algebra visualization |
+| `CompareViewComponent` | Side-by-side before/after |
+| `TriageShortcutsService` | Keyboard navigation |
+
+### 8.3 Micro-interactions
+
+- **Hover changed node** → inline badge explaining *why it changed*
+- **Click rule change** → spotlight the exact subgraph it affected
+- **"Explain like I'm new" toggle** → expand jargon into plain language
+- **"Copy audit bundle"** → export delta + evidence as attachment
+
+### 8.4 Hotkeys
+
+| Key | Action |
+|-----|--------|
+| `1` | Focus changes only |
+| `2` | Show full graph |
+| `E` | Expand evidence |
+| `A` | Export audit |
+
+### 8.5 Empty States
+
+- **Incomplete evidence**: Yellow "Unknowns present" ribbon with count and collection button
+- **Huge graphs**: Default to "changed neighborhood only" with mini-map
+
+---
+
+## 9. CI/CD Integration
+
+### 9.1 API Endpoints
+
+| Endpoint | Purpose |
+|----------|---------|
+| `POST /evaluate` | Returns `verdict.json` + attestation |
+| `POST /delta` | Returns `delta.json` (signed) |
+| `GET /replay?manifest_sha=` | Re-executes with cached snapshots |
+| `GET /evidence/:cid` | Fetches immutable evidence blobs |
+
+### 9.2 CLI Commands
+
+```bash
+# Verify delta between two versions
+stella verify delta \
+  --from abc123 \
+  --to def456 \
+  --policy prod.json \
+  --print-proofs
+
+# Create exception
+stella exception create \
+  --cve CVE-2025-1234 \
+  --scope image:repo/app:tag \
+  --reason "Feature disabled" \
+  --evidence att:sha256:... \
+  --ttl 30d
+
+# Replay a verdict
+stella replay \
+  --manifest-sha sha256:... \
+  --assert-identical
+```
+
+### 9.3 Exit Codes
+
+| Code | Meaning |
+|------|---------|
+| 0 | PASS - Release allowed |
+| 1 | FAIL - Gate blocked |
+| 2 | WARN - Proceed with caution |
+| 3 | ERROR - Evaluation failed |
+
+### 9.4 Pipeline Recipe
+
+```yaml
+release-gate:
+  script:
+    - stella evaluate --subject $IMAGE_DIGEST --policy $GATE_POLICY
+    - |
+      if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
+        echo "Gate blocked - risk budget exceeded or policy violation"
+        exit 1
+      fi
+    - stella delta --from $BASELINE --to $IMAGE_DIGEST --export audit-bundle.zip
+  artifacts:
+    paths:
+      - audit-bundle.zip

+# Determinism Specification
+
+> **Status:** Living document
+> **Version:** 1.0
+> **Created:** 2025-12-26
+> **Owners:** Policy Guild, Platform Guild
+> **Related:** [`CONSOLIDATED - Deterministic Evidence and Verdict Architecture.md`](../../product-advisories/CONSOLIDATED%20-%20Deterministic%20Evidence%20and%20Verdict%20Architecture.md)
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+This specification defines the determinism guarantees for StellaOps verdict computation, including digest algorithms, canonicalization rules, and migration strategies. All services that produce or verify verdicts MUST comply with this specification.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Digest Algorithms
+
+### 1.1 VerdictId
+
+**Purpose:** Uniquely identifies a verdict computation result.
+
+**Algorithm:**
+```
+VerdictId = SHA256(CanonicalJson(verdict_payload))
+```
+
+**Input Structure:**
+```json
+{
+  "_canonVersion": "stella:canon:v1",
+  "evidence_refs": ["sha256:..."],
+  "explanations": [...],
+  "risk_score": 42,
+  "status": "pass",
+  "unknowns_count": 0
+}
+```
+
+**Implementation:** `StellaOps.Attestor.ProofChain.Identifiers.VerdictIdGenerator`
+
+---
+
+### 1.2 EvidenceId
+
+**Purpose:** Uniquely identifies an evidence artifact (SBOM, VEX, graph, etc.).
+
+**Algorithm:**
+```
+EvidenceId = SHA256(raw_bytes)
+```
+
+**Notes:**
+- For JSON artifacts, use JCS-canonical bytes
+- For binary artifacts, use raw bytes
+- For multi-file bundles, use Merkle root
+
+**Implementation:** `StellaOps.Attestor.ProofChain.Identifiers.EvidenceIdGenerator`
+
+---
+
+### 1.3 GraphRevisionId
+
+**Purpose:** Uniquely identifies a call graph or reachability graph snapshot.
+
+**Algorithm:**
+```
+GraphRevisionId = SHA256(CanonicalJson({
+  nodes: SortedBy(nodes, n => n.id),
+  edges: SortedBy(edges, e => (e.source, e.target, e.kind))
+}))
+```
+
+**Sorting Rules:**
+- Nodes: lexicographic by `id` (Ordinal)
+- Edges: tuple sort by `(source, target, kind)`
+
+**Implementation:** `StellaOps.Scanner.CallGraph.Identifiers.GraphRevisionIdGenerator`
+
+---
+
+### 1.4 ManifestId
+
+**Purpose:** Uniquely identifies a scan manifest (all inputs for an evaluation).
+
+**Algorithm:**
+```
+ManifestId = SHA256(CanonicalJson(manifest_payload))
+```
+
+**Input Structure:**
+```json
+{
+  "_canonVersion": "stella:canon:v1",
+  "engine_version": "1.0.0",
+  "feeds_snapshot_sha256": "sha256:...",
+  "options_hash": "sha256:...",
+  "policy_bundle_sha256": "sha256:...",
+  "policy_semver": "2025.12",
+  "reach_subgraph_sha256": "sha256:...",
+  "sbom_sha256": "sha256:...",
+  "vex_set_sha256": ["sha256:..."]
+}
+```
+
+**Implementation:** `StellaOps.Replay.Core.ManifestIdGenerator`
+
+---
+
+### 1.5 PolicyBundleId
+
+**Purpose:** Uniquely identifies a compiled policy bundle.
+
+**Algorithm:**
+```
+PolicyBundleId = SHA256(CanonicalJson({
+  rules: SortedBy(rules, r => r.id),
+  version: semver,
+  lattice_config: {...}
+}))
+```
+
+**Implementation:** `StellaOps.Policy.Engine.PolicyBundleIdGenerator`
+
+---
+
+## 2. Canonicalization Rules
+
+### 2.1 JSON Canonicalization (JCS - RFC 8785)
+
+All JSON artifacts MUST be canonicalized before hashing or signing.
+
+**Rules:**
+1. Object keys sorted lexicographically (Ordinal comparison)
+2. No whitespace between tokens
+3. No trailing commas
+4. UTF-8 encoding without BOM
+5. Numbers: IEEE 754 double-precision, no unnecessary trailing zeros, no exponent for integers ≤ 10^21
+
+**Example:**
+```json
+// Before
+{ "b": 1, "a": 2, "c": { "z": true, "y": false } }
+
+// After (canonical)
+{"a":2,"b":1,"c":{"y":false,"z":true}}
+```
+
+**Implementation:** `StellaOps.Canonical.Json.Rfc8785JsonCanonicalizer`
+
+---
+
+### 2.2 String Normalization (Unicode NFC)
+
+All string values MUST be normalized to Unicode NFC before canonicalization.
+
+**Why:** Different Unicode representations of the same visual character produce different hashes.
+
+**Example:**
+```
+// Before: é as e + combining acute (U+0065 U+0301)
+// After NFC: é as single codepoint (U+00E9)
+```
+
+**Implementation:** `StellaOps.Resolver.NfcStringNormalizer`
+
+---
+
+### 2.3 Version Markers
+
+All canonical JSON MUST include a version marker for migration safety:
+
+```json
+{
+  "_canonVersion": "stella:canon:v1",
+  ...
+}
+```
+
+**Current Version:** `stella:canon:v1`
+
+**Migration Path:** When canonicalization rules change:
+1. Introduce new version marker (e.g., `stella:canon:v2`)
+2. Support both versions during transition period
+3. Re-hash legacy artifacts once, store `old_hash → new_hash` mapping
+4. Deprecate old version after migration window
+
+---
+
+## 3. Determinism Guards
+
+### 3.1 Forbidden Operations
+
+The following operations are FORBIDDEN during verdict evaluation:
+
+| Operation | Reason | Alternative |
+|-----------|--------|-------------|
+| `DateTime.Now` / `DateTimeOffset.Now` | Non-deterministic | Use `TimeProvider` from manifest |
+| `Random` / `Guid.NewGuid()` | Non-deterministic | Use content-based IDs |
+| `Dictionary<K,V>` iteration | Unstable order | Use `SortedDictionary` or explicit ordering |
+| `HashSet<T>` iteration | Unstable order | Use `SortedSet` or explicit ordering |
+| `Parallel.ForEach` (unordered) | Race conditions | Use ordered parallel with merge |
+| HTTP calls | External dependency | Use pre-fetched snapshots |
+| File system reads | External dependency | Use CAS-cached blobs |
+
+### 3.2 Runtime Enforcement
+
+The `DeterminismGuard` class provides runtime enforcement:
+
+```csharp
+using StellaOps.Policy.Engine.DeterminismGuard;
+
+// Wraps evaluation in a determinism context
+var result = await DeterminismGuard.ExecuteAsync(async () =>
+{
+    // Any forbidden operation throws DeterminismViolationException
+    return await evaluator.EvaluateAsync(manifest);
+});
+```
+
+**Implementation:** `StellaOps.Policy.Engine.DeterminismGuard.DeterminismGuard`
+
+### 3.3 Compile-Time Enforcement (Planned)
+
+A Roslyn analyzer will flag determinism violations at compile time:
+
+```csharp
+// This will produce a compiler warning/error
+public Verdict Evaluate(Manifest m)
+{
+    var now = DateTime.Now; // STELLA001: Forbidden in deterministic context
+    ...
+}
+```
+
+**Status:** Planned for Q1 2026 (SPRINT_20251226_007 DET-GAP-18)
+
+---
+
+## 4. Replay Contract
+
+### 4.1 Requirements
+
+For deterministic replay, the following MUST be pinned and recorded:
+
+| Input | Storage | Notes |
+|-------|---------|-------|
+| Feed snapshots | CAS by hash | CVE, VEX advisories |
+| Scanner version | Manifest | Exact semver |
+| Rule packs | CAS by hash | Policy rules |
+| Lattice/policy version | Manifest | Semver |
+| SBOM generator version | Manifest | For generator-specific quirks |
+| Reachability engine settings | Manifest | Language analyzers, depth limits |
+| Merge semantics ID | Manifest | Lattice configuration |
+
+### 4.2 Replay Verification
+
+```csharp
+// Load original manifest
+var manifest = await manifestStore.GetAsync(manifestId);
+
+// Replay evaluation
+var replayVerdict = await engine.ReplayAsync(manifest);
+
+// Verify determinism
+var originalHash = CanonJson.Hash(originalVerdict);
+var replayHash = CanonJson.Hash(replayVerdict);
+
+if (originalHash != replayHash)
+{
+    throw new DeterminismViolationException(
+        $"Replay produced different verdict: {originalHash} vs {replayHash}");
+}
+```
+
+### 4.3 Replay API
+
+```
+GET /replay?manifest_sha=sha256:...
+```
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+  "verdict": {...},
+  "replay_manifest_sha": "sha256:...",
+  "verdict_sha": "sha256:...",
+  "determinism_verified": true
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. Testing Requirements
+
+### 5.1 Golden Tests
+
+Every service that produces verdicts MUST maintain golden test fixtures:
+
+```
+tests/fixtures/golden/
+├── manifest-001.json
+├── verdict-001.json (expected)
+├── manifest-002.json
+├── verdict-002.json (expected)
+└── ...
+```
+
+**Test Pattern:**
+```csharp
+[Theory]
+[MemberData(nameof(GoldenTestCases))]
+public async Task Verdict_MatchesGolden(string manifestPath, string expectedPath)
+{
+    var manifest = await LoadManifest(manifestPath);
+    var actual = await engine.EvaluateAsync(manifest);
+    var expected = await File.ReadAllBytesAsync(expectedPath);
+    
+    Assert.Equal(expected, CanonJson.Canonicalize(actual));
+}
+```
+
+### 5.2 Chaos Tests
+
+Chaos tests verify determinism under varying conditions:
+
+```csharp
+[Fact]
+public async Task Verdict_IsDeterministic_UnderChaos()
+{
+    var manifest = CreateTestManifest();
+    var baseline = await engine.EvaluateAsync(manifest);
+    
+    // Vary conditions
+    for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
+    {
+        Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("RANDOM_SEED", i.ToString());
+        ThreadPool.SetMinThreads(i % 16 + 1, i % 16 + 1);
+        
+        var verdict = await engine.EvaluateAsync(manifest);
+        
+        Assert.Equal(
+            CanonJson.Hash(baseline),
+            CanonJson.Hash(verdict));
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 5.3 Cross-Platform Tests
+
+Verdicts MUST be identical across:
+- Windows / Linux / macOS
+- x64 / ARM64
+- .NET versions (within major version)
+
+---
+
+## 6. Troubleshooting Guide
+
+### 6.1 "Why are my verdicts different?"
+
+**Symptom:** Same inputs produce different verdict hashes.
+
+**Checklist:**
+1. ✅ Are all inputs content-addressed? Check manifest hashes.
+2. ✅ Is canonicalization version the same? Check `_canonVersion`.
+3. ✅ Is engine version the same? Check `engine_version` in manifest.
+4. ✅ Are feeds from the same snapshot? Check `feeds_snapshot_sha256`.
+5. ✅ Is policy bundle the same? Check `policy_bundle_sha256`.
+
+**Debug Logging:**
+Enable pre-canonical hash logging to compare inputs:
+```json
+{
+  "Logging": {
+    "DeterminismDebug": {
+      "LogPreCanonicalHashes": true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 6.2 Common Causes
+
+| Symptom | Likely Cause | Fix |
+|---------|--------------|-----|
+| Different verdict hash, same risk score | Explanation order | Sort explanations by template + params |
+| Different verdict hash, same findings | Evidence ref order | Sort evidence_refs lexicographically |
+| Different graph hash | Node iteration order | Use `SortedDictionary` for nodes |
+| Different VEX merge | Feed freshness | Pin feeds to exact snapshot |
+
+### 6.3 Reporting Issues
+
+When reporting determinism issues, include:
+1. Both manifest JSONs (canonical form)
+2. Both verdict JSONs (canonical form)
+3. Engine versions
+4. Platform details (OS, architecture, .NET version)
+5. Pre-canonical hash logs (if available)
+
