Heres a simple, lowfriction way to keep priorities fresh without constant manual grooming: **let confidence decay over time**.
![A small curve sloping down over time, illustrating exponential decay](https://dummyimage.com/800x250/ffffff/000000\&text=confidence\(t\)%20=%20e^{-t/τ})
# Exponential confidence decay (what & why)
* **Idea:** Every item (task, lead, bug, doc, hypothesis) has a confidence score that **automatically shrinks with time** if you dont touch it.
* **Formula:** `confidence(t) = e^(t/τ)` where `t` is days since last signal (edit, comment, commit, new data), and **τ (“tau”)** is the decay constant.
* **Rule of thumb:** With **τ = 30 days**, at **t = 30** the confidence is **e^(1) ≈ 0.37**—about a **63% drop**. This surfaces longignored items *gradually*, not with harsh “stale/expired” flips.
# How to use it in practice
* **Signals that reset t → 0:** comment on the ticket, new benchmark, fresh log sample, doc update, CI run, new market news.
* **Sort queues by:** `priority × confidence(t)` (or severity × confidence). Quiet items drift down; truly active ones stay up.
* **Escalation bands:**
* `>0.6` = green (recently touched)
* `0.30.6` = amber (review soon)
* `<0.3` = red (poke or close)
# Quick presets
* **Fastmoving queues (incidents, hot leads):** τ = **714** days
* **Engineering tasks / product docs:** τ = **30** days
* **Research bets / roadmaps:** τ = **6090** days
# For your world (StellaOps + ops/dev work)
* **Vuln tickets:** `risk_score = CVSS × reachability × e^(t/30)`
* **Roadmap epics:** `value_score = impact × e^(t/60)` to rerank quarterly.
* **Docs:** show a badge “freshness: 42%” derived from last edit age to nudge updates.
# Minimal implementation sketch
* Store peritem: `last_signal_at`, `base_priority`.
* Compute on read:
```
days = (now - last_signal_at).days
conf = exp(-days / tau)
score = base_priority * conf
```
* Recompute in your API layer or materialize nightly; no cron spam needed.
If you want, I can draft a tiny C# helper (and SQL snippet) you can drop into your issue service to add `confidence(t)` and color bands to your lists.
Perfect, lets turn the idea into something your devs can actually build.
Below is an implementation plan you can drop into a ticketing/PRD — with clear phases, data model changes, APIs, and some sample code (C# + SQL). Ill also sprinkle in StellaOpsspecific notes.
---
## 0. Scope & Objectives
**Goal:** Introduce `confidence(t)` as an automatic freshness factor that decays with time and is used to rank and highlight work.
Well apply it to:
* Vulnerabilities (StellaOps)
* General issues / tasks / epics
* (Optional) Docs, leads, hypotheses later
**Core behavior:**
* Each item has:
* A base priority / risk (from severity, business impact, etc.)
* A timestamp of last signal (meaningful activity)
* A decay rate τ (tau) in days
* Effective priority = `base_priority × confidence(t)`
* `confidence(t) = exp( t / τ)` where `t` = days since last_signal
---
## 1. Data Model Changes
### 1.1. Add fields to core “work item” tables
For each relevant table (`Issues`, `Vulnerabilities`, `Epics`, …):
**New columns:**
* `base_priority` (FLOAT or INT)
* Example: 1100, or derived from severity.
* `last_signal_at` (DATETIME, NOT NULL, default = `created_at`)
* `tau_days` (FLOAT, nullable, falls back to type default)
* (Optional) `confidence_score_cached` (FLOAT, for materialized score)
* (Optional) `is_confidence_frozen` (BOOL, default FALSE)
For pinned items that should not decay.
**Example Postgres migration (Issues):**
```sql
ALTER TABLE issues
ADD COLUMN base_priority DOUBLE PRECISION,
ADD COLUMN last_signal_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW(),
ADD COLUMN tau_days DOUBLE PRECISION,
ADD COLUMN confidence_cached DOUBLE PRECISION,
ADD COLUMN is_confidence_frozen BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE;
```
For StellaOps:
```sql
ALTER TABLE vulnerabilities
ADD COLUMN base_risk DOUBLE PRECISION,
ADD COLUMN last_signal_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW(),
ADD COLUMN tau_days DOUBLE PRECISION,
ADD COLUMN confidence_cached DOUBLE PRECISION,
ADD COLUMN is_confidence_frozen BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE;
```
### 1.2. Add a config table for τ per entity type
```sql
CREATE TABLE confidence_decay_config (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
entity_type TEXT NOT NULL, -- 'issue', 'vulnerability', 'epic', 'doc'
tau_days_default DOUBLE PRECISION NOT NULL,
created_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW(),
updated_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW()
);
INSERT INTO confidence_decay_config (entity_type, tau_days_default) VALUES
('incident', 7),
('vulnerability', 30),
('issue', 30),
('epic', 60),
('doc', 90);
```
---
## 2. Define “signal” events & instrumentation
We need a standardized way to say: “this item got activity → reset last_signal_at”.
### 2.1. Signals that should reset `last_signal_at`
For **issues / epics:**
* New comment
* Status change (e.g., Open → In Progress)
* Field change that matters (severity, owner, milestone)
* Attachment added
* Link to PR added or updated
* New CI failure linked
For **vulnerabilities (StellaOps):**
* New scanner result attached or status updated (e.g., “Verified”, “False Positive”)
* New evidence (PoC, exploit notes)
* SLA override change
* Assignment / ownership change
* Integration events (e.g., PR merge that references the vuln)
For **docs (if you do it):**
* Any edit
* Comment/annotation
### 2.2. Implement a shared helper to record a signal
**Service-level helper (pseudocode / C#-ish):**
```csharp
public interface IConfidenceSignalService
{
Task RecordSignalAsync(WorkItemType type, Guid itemId, DateTime? signalTimeUtc = null);
}
public class ConfidenceSignalService : IConfidenceSignalService
{
private readonly IWorkItemRepository _repo;
private readonly IConfidenceConfigService _config;
public async Task RecordSignalAsync(WorkItemType type, Guid itemId, DateTime? signalTimeUtc = null)
{
var now = signalTimeUtc ?? DateTime.UtcNow;
var item = await _repo.GetByIdAsync(type, itemId);
if (item == null) return;
item.LastSignalAt = now;
if (item.TauDays == null)
{
item.TauDays = await _config.GetDefaultTauAsync(type);
}
await _repo.UpdateAsync(item);
}
}
```
### 2.3. Wire signals into existing flows
Create small tasks for devs like:
* **ISS-01:** Call `RecordSignalAsync` on:
* New issue comment handler
* Issue status update handler
* Issue field update handler (severity/priority/owner)
* **VULN-01:** Call `RecordSignalAsync` when:
* New scanner result ingested for a vuln
* Vulnerability status, SLA, or owner changes
* New exploit evidence is attached
---
## 3. Confidence & scoring calculation
### 3.1. Shared confidence function
Definition:
```csharp
public static class ConfidenceMath
{
// t = days since last signal
public static double ConfidenceScore(DateTime lastSignalAtUtc, double tauDays, DateTime? nowUtc = null)
{
var now = nowUtc ?? DateTime.UtcNow;
var tDays = (now - lastSignalAtUtc).TotalDays;
if (tDays <= 0) return 1.0;
if (tauDays <= 0) return 1.0; // guard / fallback
var score = Math.Exp(-tDays / tauDays);
// Optional: never drop below a tiny floor, so items never "disappear"
const double floor = 0.01;
return Math.Max(score, floor);
}
}
```
### 3.2. Effective priority formulas
**Generic issues / tasks:**
```csharp
double effectiveScore = issue.BasePriority * ConfidenceMath.ConfidenceScore(issue.LastSignalAt, issue.TauDays ?? defaultTau);
```
**Vulnerabilities (StellaOps):**
Lets define:
* `severity_weight`: map CVSS or severity string to numeric (e.g. Critical=100, High=80, Medium=50, Low=20).
* `reachability`: 01 (e.g. from your reachability analysis).
* `exploitability`: 01 (optional, based on known exploits).
* `confidence`: as above.
```csharp
double baseRisk = severityWeight * reachability * exploitability; // or simpler: severityWeight * reachability
double conf = ConfidenceMath.ConfidenceScore(vuln.LastSignalAt, vuln.TauDays ?? defaultTau);
double effectiveRisk = baseRisk * conf;
```
Store `baseRisk` → `vulnerabilities.base_risk`, and compute `effectiveRisk` on the fly or via job.
### 3.3. SQL implementation (optional for server-side sorting)
**Postgres example:**
```sql
-- t_days = age in days
-- tau = tau_days
-- score = exp(-t_days / tau)
SELECT
i.*,
i.base_priority *
GREATEST(
EXP(- EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM (NOW() - i.last_signal_at)) / (86400 * COALESCE(i.tau_days, 30))),
0.01
) AS effective_priority
FROM issues i
ORDER BY effective_priority DESC;
```
You can wrap that in a view:
```sql
CREATE VIEW issues_with_confidence AS
SELECT
i.*,
GREATEST(
EXP(- EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM (NOW() - i.last_signal_at)) / (86400 * COALESCE(i.tau_days, 30))),
0.01
) AS confidence,
i.base_priority *
GREATEST(
EXP(- EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM (NOW() - i.last_signal_at)) / (86400 * COALESCE(i.tau_days, 30))),
0.01
) AS effective_priority
FROM issues i;
```
---
## 4. Caching & performance
You have two options:
### 4.1. Compute on read (simplest to start)
* Use the helper function in your service layer or a DB view.
* Pros:
* No jobs, always fresh.
* Cons:
* Slight CPU cost on heavy lists.
**Plan:** Start with this. If you see perf issues, move to 4.2.
### 4.2. Periodic materialization job (optional later)
Add a scheduled job (e.g. hourly) that:
1. Selects all active items.
2. Computes `confidence_score` and `effective_priority`.
3. Writes to `confidence_cached` and `effective_priority_cached` (if you add such a column).
Service then sorts by cached values.
---
## 5. Backfill & migration
### 5.1. Initial backfill script
For existing records:
* If `last_signal_at` is NULL → set to `created_at`.
* Derive `base_priority` / `base_risk` from existing severity fields.
* Set `tau_days` from config.
**Example:**
```sql
UPDATE issues
SET last_signal_at = created_at
WHERE last_signal_at IS NULL;
UPDATE issues
SET base_priority = CASE severity
WHEN 'critical' THEN 100
WHEN 'high' THEN 80
WHEN 'medium' THEN 50
WHEN 'low' THEN 20
ELSE 10
END
WHERE base_priority IS NULL;
UPDATE issues i
SET tau_days = c.tau_days_default
FROM confidence_decay_config c
WHERE c.entity_type = 'issue'
AND i.tau_days IS NULL;
```
Do similarly for `vulnerabilities` using severity / CVSS.
### 5.2. Sanity checks
Add a small script/test to verify:
* Newly created items → `confidence ≈ 1.0`.
* 30-day-old items with τ=30 → `confidence ≈ 0.37`.
* Ordering changes when you edit/comment on items.
---
## 6. API & Query Layer
### 6.1. New sorting options
Update list APIs:
* Accept parameter: `sort=effective_priority` or `sort=confidence`.
* Default sort for some views:
* Vulnerabilities backlog: `sort=effective_risk` (risk × confidence).
* Issues backlog: `sort=effective_priority`.
**Example REST API contract:**
`GET /api/issues?sort=effective_priority&state=open`
**Response fields (additions):**
```json
{
"id": "ISS-123",
"title": "Fix login bug",
"base_priority": 80,
"last_signal_at": "2025-11-01T10:00:00Z",
"tau_days": 30,
"confidence": 0.63,
"effective_priority": 50.4,
"confidence_band": "amber"
}
```
### 6.2. Confidence banding (for UI)
Define bands server-side (easy to change):
* Green: `confidence >= 0.6`
* Amber: `0.3 ≤ confidence < 0.6`
* Red: `confidence < 0.3`
You can compute on server:
```csharp
string ConfidenceBand(double confidence) =>
confidence >= 0.6 ? "green"
: confidence >= 0.3 ? "amber"
: "red";
```
---
## 7. UI / UX changes
### 7.1. List views (issues / vulns / epics)
For each item row:
* Show a small freshness pill:
* Text: `Active`, `Review soon`, `Stale`
* Derived from confidence band.
* Tooltip:
* “Confidence 78%. Last activity 3 days ago. τ = 30 days.”
* Sort default: by `effective_priority` / `effective_risk`.
* Filters:
* `Freshness: [All | Active | Review soon | Stale]`
* Optionally: “Show stale only” toggle.
**Example labels:**
* Green: “Active (confidence 82%)”
* Amber: “Review soon (confidence 45%)”
* Red: “Stale (confidence 18%)”
### 7.2. Detail views
On an issue / vuln page:
* Add a “Confidence” section:
* “Confidence: **52%**”
* “Last signal: **12 days ago**”
* “Decay τ: **30 days**”
* “Effective priority: **Base 80 × 0.52 = 42**”
* (Optional) small mini-chart (text-only or simple bar) showing approximate decay, but not necessary for first iteration.
### 7.3. Admin / settings UI
Add an internal settings page:
* Table of entity types with editable τ:
| Entity type | τ (days) | Notes |
| ------------- | -------- | ---------------------------- |
| Incident | 7 | Fast-moving |
| Vulnerability | 30 | Standard risk review cadence |
| Issue | 30 | Sprint-level decay |
| Epic | 60 | Quarterly |
| Doc | 90 | Slow decay |
* Optionally: toggle to pin item (`is_confidence_frozen`) from UI.
---
## 8. StellaOpsspecific behavior
For vulnerabilities:
### 8.1. Base risk calculation
Ingested fields you likely already have:
* `cvss_score` or `severity`
* `reachable` (true/false or numeric)
* (Optional) `exploit_available` (bool) or exploitability score
* `asset_criticality` (15)
Define `base_risk` as:
```text
severity_weight = f(cvss_score or severity)
reachability = reachable ? 1.0 : 0.5 -- example
exploitability = exploit_available ? 1.0 : 0.7
asset_factor = 0.5 + 0.1 * asset_criticality -- 1 → 1.0, 5 → 1.5
base_risk = severity_weight * reachability * exploitability * asset_factor
```
Store `base_risk` on vuln row.
Then:
```text
effective_risk = base_risk * confidence(t)
```
Use `effective_risk` for backlog ordering and SLAs dashboards.
### 8.2. Signals for vulns
Make sure these all call `RecordSignalAsync(Vulnerability, vulnId)`:
* New scan result for same vuln (re-detected).
* Change status to “In Progress”, “Ready for Deploy”, “Verified Fixed”, etc.
* Assigning an owner.
* Attaching PoC / exploit details.
### 8.3. Vuln UI copy ideas
* Pill text:
* “Risk: 850 (confidence 68%)”
* “Last analyst activity 11 days ago”
* In backlog view: show **Effective Risk** as main sort, with a smaller subtext “Base 1200 × Confidence 71%”.
---
## 9. Rollout plan
### Phase 1 Infrastructure (backend-only)
* [ ] DB migrations & config table
* [ ] Implement `ConfidenceMath` and helper functions
* [ ] Implement `IConfidenceSignalService`
* [ ] Wire signals into key flows (comments, state changes, scanner ingestion)
* [ ] Add `confidence` and `effective_priority/risk` to API responses
* [ ] Backfill script + dry run in staging
### Phase 2 Internal UI & feature flag
* [ ] Add optional sorting by effective score to internal/staff views
* [ ] Add confidence pill (hidden behind feature flag `confidence_decay_v1`)
* [ ] Dogfood internally:
* Do items bubble up/down as expected?
* Are any items “disappearing” because decay is too aggressive?
### Phase 3 Parameter tuning
* [ ] Adjust τ per type based on feedback:
* If things decay too fast → increase τ
* If queues rarely change → decrease τ
* [ ] Decide on confidence floor (0.01? 0.05?) so nothing goes to literal 0.
### Phase 4 General release
* [ ] Make effective score the default sort for key views:
* Vulnerabilities backlog
* Issues backlog
* [ ] Document behavior for users (help center / inline tooltip)
* [ ] Add admin UI to tweak τ per entity type.
---
## 10. Edge cases & safeguards
* **New items**
* `last_signal_at = created_at`, confidence = 1.0.
* **Pinned items**
* If `is_confidence_frozen = true` → treat confidence as 1.0.
* **Items without τ**
* Always fallback to entity type default.
* **Timezones**
* Always store & compute in UTC.
* **Very old items**
* Floor the confidence so theyre still visible when explicitly searched.
---
If you want, I can turn this into:
* A short **technical design doc** (with sections: Problem, Proposal, Alternatives, Rollout).
* Or a **set of Jira tickets** grouped by backend / frontend / infra that your team can pick up directly.

# Plugin Architecture & Extensibility Patterns
**Version:** 1.0
**Date:** 2025-11-28
**Status:** Canonical
This advisory consolidates the extensibility patterns used across Stella Ops modules, providing a unified view for architects and developers implementing custom integrations.
---
## 1. Overview
Stella Ops uses a **plugin-based architecture** enabling customers and partners to extend functionality without modifying core code. The platform supports three primary extension types:
| Type | Module | Purpose | Examples |
|------|--------|---------|----------|
| **Connectors** | Concelier, Excititor | Ingest/export data from external sources | NVD, OSV, vendor VEX feeds |
| **Plugins** | Authority, Scanner | Extend runtime behavior | LDAP auth, custom analyzers |
| **Analyzers** | Scanner | Add detection capabilities | Language-specific, binary analysis |
---
## 2. Core Principles
### 2.1 Determinism
All plugins must produce **deterministic outputs** for identical inputs:
- No global state between invocations
- Timestamps in UTC ISO-8601
- Stable ordering of collections
- Reproducible hashing with documented algorithms
### 2.2 Offline-First
Plugins must function in **air-gapped environments**:
- No network access unless explicitly configured
- Local configuration and secrets
- Bundled dependencies (no runtime downloads)
- Offline-capable credential stores
### 2.3 Restart-Safe
Plugins load at **service startup only**:
- No hot-reload (security/determinism trade-off)
- Configuration changes require restart
- State persists in external stores (MongoDB, filesystem)
---
## 3. Plugin Lifecycle
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Host Startup │
└─────────────────────────────────┬───────────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 1. Configuration Load │
│ - Read YAML manifests from etc/<module>.plugins/ │
│ - Validate capability tokens │
│ - Resolve relative paths │
└─────────────────────────────────┬───────────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 2. Assembly Discovery │
│ - Scan plugin binaries directory │
│ - Match assemblies to manifest descriptors │
│ - Load assemblies into isolated context │
└─────────────────────────────────┬───────────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 3. Registrar Execution │
│ - Find IPluginRegistrar implementations │
│ - Bind options from configuration │
│ - Register services in DI container │
│ - Queue bootstrap tasks (optional) │
└─────────────────────────────────┬───────────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 4. Runtime │
│ - Host resolves plugin services via DI │
│ - Capability metadata guides feature exposure │
│ - Health checks report plugin status │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
---
## 4. Concelier Connectors
### 4.1 Purpose
Connectors ingest vulnerability advisories from external sources into the Concelier merge engine.
### 4.2 Interface
```csharp
public interface IAdvisoryConnector
{
string ConnectorId { get; }
Task<IAsyncEnumerable<RawAdvisory>> FetchAsync(
ConnectorContext context,
CancellationToken ct);
Task<ConnectorHealth> CheckHealthAsync(CancellationToken ct);
}
```
### 4.3 Built-in Connectors
| Connector | Source | Format |
|-----------|--------|--------|
| `nvd` | NVD API 2.0 | CVE JSON |
| `osv` | OSV.dev | OSV JSON |
| `ghsa` | GitHub Advisory Database | GHSA JSON |
| `oval` | Vendor OVAL feeds | OVAL XML |
| `csaf` | CSAF repositories | CSAF JSON |
### 4.4 Developer Guide
See: `docs/dev/30_EXCITITOR_CONNECTOR_GUIDE.md`
---
## 5. Authority Plugins
### 5.1 Purpose
Authority plugins extend authentication with custom identity providers, credential stores, and client management.
### 5.2 Interface
```csharp
public interface IAuthorityPluginRegistrar
{
void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services, PluginContext context);
void ConfigureOptions(IConfiguration config);
}
public interface IIdentityProviderPlugin
{
string ProviderId { get; }
AuthorityIdentityProviderCapabilities Capabilities { get; }
Task<AuthenticationResult> AuthenticateAsync(AuthenticationRequest request);
}
```
### 5.3 Capabilities
Plugins declare capabilities via manifest:
```yaml
plugins:
descriptors:
ldap:
assemblyName: "StellaOps.Authority.Plugin.Ldap"
capabilities:
- password
- mfa
- clientProvisioning
```
| Capability | Description |
|------------|-------------|
| `password` | Username/password authentication |
| `mfa` | Multi-factor authentication support |
| `clientProvisioning` | Dynamic OAuth client registration |
| `bootstrap` | Initial admin user creation |
### 5.4 Developer Guide
See: `docs/dev/31_AUTHORITY_PLUGIN_DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md`
---
## 6. Scanner Analyzers
### 6.1 Purpose
Analyzers extend the Scanner with language-specific or binary-level detection capabilities.
### 6.2 Interface
```csharp
public interface IScanAnalyzer
{
string AnalyzerId { get; }
IReadOnlyList<string> SupportedEcosystems { get; }
Task<AnalysisResult> AnalyzeAsync(
ScanContext context,
IAsyncEnumerable<ScanArtifact> artifacts,
CancellationToken ct);
}
```
### 6.3 Built-in Analyzers
| Analyzer | Ecosystem | Detection Method |
|----------|-----------|------------------|
| `syft` | Multi-ecosystem | SBOM generation |
| `grype-db` | Multi-ecosystem | Vulnerability matching |
| `elf-symbols` | Binary/ELF | Symbol table analysis |
| `buildid` | Binary/ELF | Build-ID extraction |
| `dotnet-deps` | .NET | deps.json parsing |
### 6.4 Surface Validation
The Scanner supports **extensible surface validation** for detecting risky patterns:
```csharp
public interface ISurfaceValidator
{
string ValidatorId { get; }
Task<SurfaceValidationResult> ValidateAsync(
SurfaceContext context,
CancellationToken ct);
}
```
See: `docs/modules/scanner/guides/surface-validation-extensibility.md`
---
## 7. Manifest Structure
All plugins use a standard manifest format:
```json
{
"pluginId": "example-plugin",
"version": "1.0.0",
"assemblyName": "StellaOps.Module.Plugin.Example",
"hostVersion": ">=2.0.0",
"capabilities": ["capability1", "capability2"],
"configuration": {
"requiredSettings": ["setting1"],
"optionalSettings": ["setting2"]
},
"dependencies": {
"packages": ["Dependency.Package@1.0.0"]
}
}
```
---
## 8. Security Considerations
### 8.1 Assembly Isolation
- Plugins load in dedicated assembly contexts
- Host enforces capability-based access control
- Network access requires explicit configuration
### 8.2 Configuration Validation
- Unknown capability tokens rejected at startup
- Path traversal in relative paths blocked
- Secrets never logged or exposed in diagnostics
### 8.3 Audit Trail
- Plugin loading events logged with assembly hash
- Configuration changes recorded
- Runtime errors captured with context
---
## 9. Offline Kit Integration
Plugins must support offline distribution:
```
offline-kit/
├── plugins/
│ ├── authority/
│ │ ├── StellaOps.Authority.Plugin.Ldap.dll
│ │ └── manifest.json
│ ├── scanner/
│ │ ├── StellaOps.Scanner.Analyzer.Custom.dll
│ │ └── manifest.json
│ └── checksums.sha256
├── config/
│ └── plugins.yaml
└── MANIFEST.json
```
### 9.1 Checksum Verification
All plugin assemblies verified against `checksums.sha256` before loading.
### 9.2 Version Compatibility
Host rejects plugins with incompatible `hostVersion` requirements.
---
## 10. Testing Requirements
### 10.1 Unit Tests
- Registrar binds options correctly
- Services resolve from DI container
- Capability metadata accurate
### 10.2 Integration Tests
- Plugin loads in host process
- Health checks pass
- Functionality works end-to-end
### 10.3 Test Helpers
```csharp
// Use StellaOps.Plugin.Tests helpers
var host = new PluginTestHost()
.WithPlugin<MyPlugin>()
.WithConfiguration(config)
.Build();
var plugin = host.GetRequiredService<IMyPlugin>();
var result = await plugin.DoSomethingAsync();
```

# Sovereign Crypto for Regional Compliance
**Version:** 1.0
**Date:** 2025-11-28
**Status:** Canonical
This advisory defines the product rationale, implementation strategy, and compliance mapping for regional cryptography support in Stella Ops, enabling deployments in jurisdictions requiring eIDAS, FIPS, GOST, or Chinese SM algorithms.
---
## 1. Executive Summary
Stella Ops must support **sovereign-ready cryptography** to serve customers in regulated environments where standard cryptographic algorithms are insufficient or prohibited. This includes:
- **EU/eIDAS**: Qualified electronic signatures with HSM-backed keys
- **US/FIPS 140-2/3**: Federal deployments requiring validated cryptographic modules
- **Russia/GOST**: CryptoPro CSP and GOST R 34.10-2012/34.11-2012 algorithms
- **China/SM**: SM2 (signing), SM3 (hashing), SM4 (encryption) national standards
The implementation uses a **provider registry pattern** allowing runtime selection of cryptographic backends without code changes.
---
## 2. Market Drivers
### 2.1 Target Segments
| Segment | Crypto Requirements | Market Size |
|---------|---------------------|-------------|
| **EU Government/Critical Infrastructure** | eIDAS QES, qualified timestamps | Large (EU Digital Identity Wallet mandate) |
| **US Federal/Defense** | FIPS 140-2/3 validated modules | Large (FedRAMP, CMMC) |
| **Russian Enterprise** | GOST algorithms, CryptoPro CSP | Medium (domestic compliance) |
| **Chinese SOE/Government** | SM2/SM3/SM4 algorithms | Large (mandatory for PRC government) |
### 2.2 Competitive Positioning
Most vulnerability scanning tools (Snyk, Trivy, Grype) do not offer sovereign crypto options. Anchore Enterprise provides FIPS builds. Stella Ops can differentiate by supporting **all major regional standards** through a unified provider registry.
---
## 3. Technical Architecture
### 3.1 Provider Registry Pattern
The `ICryptoProviderRegistry` abstraction enables runtime selection of cryptographic implementations:
```
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Application Layer │
│ (Scanner, Authority, Attestor, Export Center, etc.) │
└────────────────────────────┬───────────────────────────────────┘
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ICryptoProviderRegistry │
│ - ResolveHasher(profile) │
│ - ResolveSigner(profile) │
│ - ResolveKeyStore(profile) │
└────────────────────────────┬───────────────────────────────────┘
┌───────────────────┼───────────────────┐
▼ ▼ ▼
┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐
│ Default Profile │ │ RU Profile │ │ CN Profile │
│ - SHA-256/384 │ │ - GOST R 34.11 │ │ - SM3 hash │
│ - ECDSA P-256 │ │ - GOST R 34.10 │ │ - SM2 signing │
│ - AES-256-GCM │ │ - Magma/Kuznech │ │ - SM4 encryption│
└─────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘
```
### 3.2 Profile Configuration
```yaml
stellaops:
crypto:

cn-government:
hashAlgorithm: "SM3"
signingAlgorithm: "SM2"
encryptionAlgorithm: "SM4"
providers:
- "cn.tongsuo"
- "cn.pkcs11"
```
### 3.3 Provider Implementations

| `cn.pkcs11` | PKCS#11 tokens | SM algorithms (hardware) | All |
| `fips` | OpenSSL FIPS module | FIPS 140-2 validated | Linux |
---
## 4. Implementation Strategy
### 4.1 Phase 1: Registry Foundation (Complete)
- `ICryptoProviderRegistry` interface published
- Default profile with .NET BCL backend
- Configuration binding via `StellaOps:Crypto:Registry`
### 4.2 Phase 2: GOST/RU Support (In Progress)
- CryptoPro CSP plugin via forked GostCryptography library
- OpenSSL GOST engine integration
- Windows-only CSP tests with opt-in CI pipeline
- RootPack RU distribution bundle
### 4.3 Phase 3: PQ-Ready Extensions (Planned)

---
## 5. Compliance Mapping
### 5.1 eIDAS (EU)
| Requirement | Stella Ops Capability |
|-------------|----------------------|
| Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) | HSM-backed signing via PKCS#11 |
| Qualified Timestamp | RFC 3161 via external TSA |
| Advanced Electronic Seal | DSSE attestations with organizational keys |
| Long-term preservation (LTV) | Audit bundles with embedded timestamps |
### 5.2 FIPS 140-2/3 (US)
| Requirement | Stella Ops Capability |
|-------------|----------------------|
| Validated cryptographic module | OpenSSL FIPS provider |
| Approved algorithms only | Profile restricts to FIPS-approved |
| Key management | HSM or FIPS-validated software |
| Self-tests | Provider initialization checks |
### 5.3 GOST (Russia)
| Requirement | Stella Ops Capability |
|-------------|----------------------|
| GOST R 34.10-2012 (signing) | CryptoPro CSP / OpenSSL GOST |
| GOST R 34.11-2012 (hashing) | Provider registry selection |
| Magma/Kuznyechik (encryption) | Symmetric support planned |
| Certified CSP | CryptoPro CSP integration |
### 5.4 SM (China)
| Requirement | Stella Ops Capability |
|-------------|----------------------|
| SM2 (signing) | Tongsuo / PKCS#11 |
| SM3 (hashing) | Provider registry selection |
| SM4 (encryption) | Symmetric support planned |
| GB/T certification | Third-party certification path |
---
## 6. Determinism Requirements
All cryptographic operations must maintain Stella Ops determinism guarantees:
1. **Same inputs + same profile = same output** (for hashing/signing with deterministic algorithms)
2. **Timestamps in UTC ISO-8601** format
3. **Profile names and provider IDs in lowercase ASCII**
4. **Audit material includes provider version and configuration hash**
For algorithms with inherent randomness (ECDSA k-value, SM2), determinism applies to verification, not signature bytes.
---
## 7. Offline/Air-Gap Support
Sovereign deployments often require air-gapped operation:
| Feature | Offline Support |
|---------|----------------|
| Provider initialization | Local configuration only |
| Key storage | Local HSM or file-based |
| Certificate validation | Offline CRL/OCSP stapling |
| Timestamp authority | Embedded timestamps or offline TSA |
| Algorithm updates | Bundled in RootPack distributions |
---
## 8. Testing Strategy
### 8.1 Unit Tests
- Provider registry resolution
- Algorithm selection per profile
- Configuration validation
### 8.2 Integration Tests (Platform-Specific)
| Test Suite | Platform | Trigger |
|------------|----------|---------|
| Default profile | All | Default CI |
| GOST/CryptoPro | Windows + CSP | Opt-in pipeline |
| GOST/OpenSSL | Linux + GOST engine | Opt-in pipeline |
| FIPS | Linux + FIPS module | Opt-in pipeline |
| SM | Linux + Tongsuo | Future |
### 8.3 Compliance Validation
- NIST CAVP vectors for FIPS algorithms
- GOST test vectors from TC 26
- SM test vectors from GM/T standards
---
## 9. Distribution & Licensing
### 9.1 RootPack Bundles
| Bundle | Contents | Distribution |
|--------|----------|--------------|
| `rootpack-default` | Standard algorithms only | Public |
| `rootpack-ru` | GOST providers + CryptoPro plugin | Restricted (RU customers) |
| `rootpack-cn` | SM providers + Tongsuo | Restricted (CN customers) |
| `rootpack-fips` | FIPS-validated binaries | Enterprise only |
### 9.2 Licensing Considerations
- CryptoPro CSP requires customer license
- OpenSSL GOST engine under Apache 2.0
- Tongsuo under Apache 2.0
- Forked GostCryptography under MIT (with AGPL obligations from Stella Ops wrapper)

# Authentication and Authorization Architecture
**Version:** 1.0
**Date:** 2025-11-29
**Status:** Canonical
This advisory defines the product rationale, token model, scope taxonomy, and implementation strategy for the Authority module, consolidating authentication and authorization patterns across all Stella Ops services.
---
## 1. Executive Summary
Authority is the **on-premises OIDC/OAuth2 issuing service** that provides secure identity for all Stella Ops operations. Key capabilities:
- **Short-Lived Tokens (OpTok)** - 2-5 minute TTL operational tokens
- **Sender Constraints** - DPoP or mTLS binding prevents token theft
- **Fine-Grained Scopes** - 65+ scopes with role bundles
- **Multi-Tenant Isolation** - Tenant claims enforced throughout
- **Delegated Service Accounts** - Automation without credential exposure
- **Sovereign Crypto Support** - Configurable signing algorithms per profile
---
## 2. Market Drivers
### 2.1 Target Segments
| Segment | Authentication Requirements | Use Case |
|---------|---------------------------|----------|
| **Enterprise** | SSO/SAML integration, MFA | Corporate security policies |
| **Government** | CAC/PIV, FIPS validation | Federal compliance |
| **Financial Services** | Strong auth, audit trails | SOC 2, PCI-DSS |
| **Healthcare** | HIPAA access controls | PHI protection |
### 2.2 Competitive Positioning
Most vulnerability scanning tools rely on basic API keys. Stella Ops differentiates with:
- **Zero-trust token model** with sender constraints
- **Fine-grained RBAC** with 65+ scopes
- **Cryptographic binding** (DPoP/mTLS) prevents token theft
- **Deterministic revocation bundles** for offline verification
- **Plugin extensibility** for custom identity providers
---
## 3. Token Model
### 3.1 Three-Token System
| Token | Lifetime | Purpose | Binding |
|-------|----------|---------|---------|
| **License Token (LT)** | Long-lived | Cloud licensing enrollment | Installation |
| **Proof-of-Entitlement (PoE)** | Medium | License validation | Installation key |
| **Operational Token (OpTok)** | 2-5 min | Runtime authentication | DPoP/mTLS |
### 3.2 Operational Token Structure
**Registered Claims:**
```json
{
"iss": "https://authority.example.com",
"sub": "client-id-or-user-id",
"aud": "signer|scanner|attestor|concelier|...",
"exp": 1732881600,
"iat": 1732881300,
"nbf": 1732881270,
"jti": "uuid",
"scope": "scanner.scan scanner.export signer.sign"
}
```
**Sender Constraint Claims:**
```json
{
"cnf": {
"jkt": "base64url(SHA-256(JWK))", // DPoP binding
"x5t#S256": "base64url(SHA-256(cert))" // mTLS binding
}
}
```
**Tenant & Context Claims:**
```json
{
"tid": "tenant-id",
"inst": "installation-id",
"roles": ["svc.scanner", "svc.signer"],
"plan": "enterprise"
}
```
### 3.3 Sender Constraints
**DPoP (Demonstration of Proof-of-Possession):**
1. Client generates ephemeral JWK keypair
2. Client sends DPoP proof header with `htm`, `htu`, `iat`, `jti`
3. Authority validates and stamps token with `cnf.jkt`
4. Resource servers verify same key on each request
5. Nonce challenges available for high-value audiences
**mTLS (Mutual TLS):**
1. Client presents certificate at TLS handshake
2. Authority validates and binds to `cnf.x5t#S256`
3. Resource servers verify same cert on each request
4. Required for high-value audiences (signer, attestor)
---
## 4. Scope Taxonomy
### 4.1 Scope Categories (65+ scopes)
**Ingestion Scopes (tenant-required):**
- `advisory:ingest` - Concelier advisory ingestion
- `vex:ingest` - Excititor VEX ingestion
- `signals:write` - Reachability signal ingestion
**Verification Scopes (require `aoc:verify` pairing):**
- `advisory:read` - Advisory queries
- `vex:read` - VEX queries
- `signals:read` - Signal queries
**Service Scopes:**
| Service | Scopes |
|---------|--------|
| **Signer** | `signer.sign` (mTLS enforced) |
| **Scanner** | `scanner.scan`, `scanner.export`, `scanner.read` |
| **Attestor** | `attestor.write` |
| **Policy Studio** | `policy:author`, `policy:review`, `policy:approve`, `policy:operate`, `policy:publish`, `policy:promote`, `policy:audit`, `policy:simulate` |
| **Vuln Explorer** | `vuln:view`, `vuln:investigate`, `vuln:operate`, `vuln:audit` |

| **Export Center** | `export.viewer`, `export.operator`, `export.admin` |
| **Task Packs** | `packs.read`, `packs.write`, `packs.run`, `packs.approve` |
| **Evidence** | `evidence:create`, `evidence:read`, `evidence:hold` |
| **Timeline** | `timeline:read`, `timeline:write` |
**Special Scopes:**
- `obs:incident` - Incident mode activation (fresh auth required)
- `tenant:admin` - Cross-tenant operations
### 4.2 Role Bundles
Authority provides 40+ predefined roles that bundle related scopes:
| Role | Scopes | Requirements |
|------|--------|--------------|
| `role/concelier-ingest` | `advisory:ingest`, `advisory:read` | Tenant claim |
| `role/signals-uploader` | `signals:write`, `signals:read`, `aoc:verify` | Tenant claim |
| `role/policy-engine` | `effective:write`, `findings:read` | `serviceIdentity: policy-engine` |
| `role/policy-author` | `policy:author`, `policy:read`, `policy:simulate`, `findings:read` | - |
| `role/policy-approver` | `policy:approve`, `policy:review`, `policy:read`, `policy:simulate`, `findings:read` | - |
| `role/orch-operator` | `orch:read`, `orch:operate` | - |
| `role/export-admin` | `export.viewer`, `export.operator`, `export.admin` | - |
---
## 5. Multi-Tenant Isolation
### 5.1 Tenant Claim Enforcement
**Token Issuance:**
- Authority normalizes tenant: `trim().ToLowerInvariant()`
- Tokens include `tid` (tenant ID) and `inst` (installation ID)
- Cross-tenant isolation enforced at issuance
**Propagation:**
- API Gateway forwards `tid` as `X-Stella-Tenant` header
- Downstream services reject requests without header
- All data stamped with tenant identifier
**Scope Enforcement:**
- Ingestion scopes require tenant claim
- `aoc:verify` pairing required for verification scopes
- Cross-tenant replay rejected
### 5.2 Cross-Tenant Operations
For platform operators with `tenant:admin`:
- Switch tenants via `/authority/tenant/switch`
- CLI `--tenant <id>` override
- Delegated token exchange for automation
- Full audit trail of tenant switches
---
## 6. Advanced Token Features
### 6.1 Delegated Service Accounts
```yaml
delegation:
quotas:
maxActiveTokens: 50
serviceAccounts:
- accountId: "svc-observer"
tenant: "tenant-default"
displayName: "Observability Exporter"
allowedScopes: ["jobs:read", "findings:read"]
authorizedClients: ["export-center-worker"]
```
**Token Shape:**
- Includes `stellaops:service_account` claim
- `act` claim describes caller hierarchy
- Quota enforcement per tenant/account
### 6.2 Fresh Auth Window (5 Minutes)
Required for high-privilege operations:
- Policy publish/promote
- Pack approvals
- Incident mode activation
- Operator actions
**Token must include:**
- `auth_time` within 5 minutes of request
- Interactive authentication (password/device-code)
### 6.3 ABAC Attributes (Vuln Explorer)
Tokens can carry attribute-based filters:
- `stellaops:vuln_env` - Environment filter
- `stellaops:vuln_owner` - Team/owner filter
- `stellaops:vuln_business_tier` - Criticality tier
---
## 7. Implementation Strategy

# Mirror and Offline Kit Strategy
**Version:** 1.0
**Date:** 2025-11-29
**Status:** Canonical
This advisory defines the product rationale, data contracts, and implementation strategy for the Mirror module, covering deterministic thin-bundle assembly, DSSE/TUF signing, time anchoring, and air-gapped distribution.
---
## 1. Executive Summary
The Mirror module enables **air-gapped deployments** by producing deterministic, cryptographically signed bundles containing advisories, VEX documents, and policy packs. Key capabilities:
- **Thin Bundle Assembly** - Deterministic tar.gz with sorted entries and fixed timestamps
- **DSSE/TUF Signing** - Ed25519 signatures with TUF metadata for key rotation
- **Time Anchoring** - Roughtime/RFC3161 tokens for clock-independent freshness
- **OCI Distribution** - Registry-compatible layout for container-native workflows
- **Offline Verification** - Complete verification without network connectivity
---
## 2. Market Drivers
### 2.1 Target Segments
| Segment | Offline Requirements | Use Case |
|---------|---------------------|----------|
| **Defense/Intelligence** | Complete air-gap | Classified networks without internet |

```
---
## 8. Offline Kit Integration
### 8.1 Offline Kit Structure
```
offline-kit/
├── mirrors/
│ ├── mirror-thin-v1.tar.gz # Advisory/VEX data
│ ├── mirror-thin-v1.manifest.json
│ └── mirror-thin-v1.dsse.json
├── evidence/

│ └── policy-pack-*.tar.gz # Policy packs
├── trust/
│ ├── tuf/ # TUF metadata
│ └── time-anchors.json # Time trust roots
└── MANIFEST.json # Kit manifest with hashes
```
### 8.2 Import Workflow
1. **Verify MANIFEST.json** signature against bundled TUF root
2. **Validate each artifact** hash matches manifest
3. **Check time anchor freshness** against configured tolerance
4. **Import to local stores** (Concelier, Excititor, Evidence Locker)
5. **Record import event** with provenance in Timeline
---
## 9. Verification Workflow
### 9.1 Online Verification
1. Fetch bundle from registry/export center
2. Verify DSSE signature against JWKS
3. Validate TUF metadata chain
4. Check Rekor transparency log (if present)
5. Verify time anchor freshness
### 9.2 Offline Verification
1. Extract bundle and TUF metadata
2. Verify DSSE signature against bundled public key
3. Validate all file hashes match manifest
4. Check time anchor against local clock + tolerance
5. Record verification result in local audit log
---
## 10. Security Considerations
### 10.1 Key Protection
- Root keys stored in HSM or offline cold storage
- Online keys rotated automatically per TUF policy
- Key ceremonies documented and audited
### 10.2 Rollback Protection
- TUF timestamp/snapshot prevent rollback attacks
- Generation numbers monotonically increasing
- Stale bundles rejected based on time anchor
### 10.3 Tampering Detection
- DSSE signature covers entire manifest
- Each file has individual hash verification
- Merkle tree optional for large bundles

# Task Pack Orchestration and Automation
**Version:** 1.0
**Date:** 2025-11-29
**Status:** Canonical
This advisory defines the product rationale, DSL semantics, and implementation strategy for the TaskRunner module, covering pack manifest structure, execution semantics, approval workflows, and evidence capture.
---
## 1. Executive Summary
The TaskRunner provides **deterministic, auditable automation** for security workflows. Key capabilities:
- **Task Pack DSL** - Declarative YAML manifests for multi-step workflows
- **Approval Gates** - Human-in-the-loop checkpoints with Authority integration
- **Deterministic Execution** - Plan hash verification prevents runtime divergence
- **Evidence Capture** - DSSE attestations for provenance and audit
- **Air-Gap Support** - Sealed-mode validation for offline installations
---
## 2. Market Drivers
### 2.1 Target Segments
| Segment | Automation Requirements | Use Case |
|---------|------------------------|----------|
| **Enterprise Security** | Approval workflows for vulnerability remediation | Change advisory board gates |
| **DevSecOps** | CI/CD pipeline integration | Automated policy enforcement |
| **Compliance Teams** | Auditable execution with evidence | SOC 2, FedRAMP documentation |
| **MSP/MSSP** | Multi-tenant orchestration | Managed security services |
### 2.2 Competitive Positioning
Most vulnerability scanning tools lack built-in orchestration. Stella Ops differentiates with:
- **Declarative task packs** with schema validation
- **Cryptographic plan verification** (plan hash binding)
- **Native approval gates** with Authority token integration
- **Evidence attestations** for audit trails
- **Sealed-mode enforcement** for air-gapped environments
---

1. Execute all steps in dry-run mode
2. Capture expected outputs
3. Store simulation results with plan hash
**Execution Phase:**
1. Verify runtime graph matches plan hash
2. Execute steps in dependency order
3. Emit progress events to Timeline
4. Capture output artifacts
**Evidence Phase:**
1. Generate DSSE attestation with plan hash
2. Include input digests and output manifests
3. Store in Evidence Locker
4. Optionally anchor to Rekor

### 8.1 DSSE Attestation Structure
```json
{
"payloadType": "application/vnd.stellaops.pack-run+json",
"payload": {
"runId": "abc123...",
"packName": "vulnerability-scan-and-report",
"packVersion": "1.2.0",
"planHash": "sha256:def456...",

],
"completedAt": "2025-11-29T12:30:00Z"
},
"signatures": [...]
}
```
### 8.2 Evidence Bundle
Task pack runs produce evidence bundles containing:
- Pack manifest (signed)
- Input values (redacted secrets)
- Output artifacts
- Step transcripts
- DSSE attestation
---
## 9. Determinism Requirements
All TaskRunner operations must maintain determinism:
1. **Plan hash binding** - Runtime graph must match computed plan hash
2. **Stable step ordering** - Dependencies resolve deterministically
3. **Expression evaluation** - Same inputs produce same resolved values
4. **Timestamps in UTC** - All logs and events use ISO-8601 UTC
5. **Secret masking** - Secrets never appear in logs or evidence
---
## 10. RBAC & Scopes
| Scope | Purpose |
|-------|---------|
| `packs.read` | Discover/download packs |
| `packs.write` | Publish/update packs (requires signature) |
| `packs.run` | Execute packs via CLI/TaskRunner |
| `packs.approve` | Fulfill approval gates |
**Approval Token Requirements:**
- `pack_run_id`, `pack_gate_id`, `pack_plan_hash` are mandatory
- Token must be fresh (within 5-minute auth window)

## Known Issues (Non-Blocking)
**Unicode Encoding Inconsistency:**
Several filenames use en-dash (U+2011) instead of regular hyphen (-). This may cause cross-platform issues but does not affect content discovery. Files affected:
- `26-Nov-2025 - Handling Rekor v2 and DSSE AirGap Limits.md`
- `27-Nov-2025 - Blueprint for a 2026Ready Scanner.md`
- `27-Nov-2025 - Deep Architecture Brief - SBOMFirst, VEXReady Spine.md`
**Archived Duplicate:**
`archived/17-Nov-2025 - SBOM-Provenance-Spine.md` and `archived/18-Nov-2025 - SBOM-Provenance-Spine.md` are potential duplicates. The 18-Nov version is likely canonical.
