+# AdvisoryAI Hosting Agent Charter
+
+## Mission
+- Provide hosting extensions and DI registration for AdvisoryAI services.
+- Wire configuration, options validation, and infrastructure components.
+
+## Responsibilities
+- Maintain `ServiceCollectionExtensions` for clean DI registration.
+- Keep options classes (`AdvisoryAiServiceOptions`, `AdvisoryAiGuardrailOptions`) well-documented and validated.
+- Ensure file-system-based implementations (queue, cache, output store) remain deterministic and offline-safe.
+- Coordinate with guardrail phrase loading and metric wiring.
+
+## Required Reading
+- docs/README.md
+- docs/07_HIGH_LEVEL_ARCHITECTURE.md
+- docs/modules/platform/architecture-overview.md
+- docs/modules/advisory-ai/architecture.md
+- src/AdvisoryAI/AGENTS.md (parent module charter)
+- docs/policy/assistant-parameters.md (guardrail and ops knobs)
+
+## Working Directory & Scope
+- Primary: src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Hosting/
+- Dependencies: StellaOps.AdvisoryAI core library for contracts and abstractions.
+- Shared libraries allowed only when referenced by this project.
+
+## Key Components
+- `ServiceCollectionExtensions` — DI registration entry point for WebService and Worker hosts.
+- `AdvisoryAiServiceOptions` — main configuration container with nested queue/storage/inference/guardrail options.
+- `AdvisoryAiServiceOptionsValidator` — startup validation ensuring required config is present.
+- `FileSystemAdvisoryTaskQueue` — file-based task queue for offline-capable environments.
+- `FileSystemAdvisoryPlanCache` — file-based plan caching with hash keys.
+- `FileSystemAdvisoryOutputStore` — content-addressed output storage.
+- `GuardrailPhraseLoader` — loads guardrail phrases from configuration or files.
+- `AdvisoryAiMetrics` — meter and counter definitions.
+
+## Testing Expectations
+- Unit tests in `__Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests` cover hosting registration paths.
+- Test options validation for missing/invalid config scenarios.
+- Verify file-system implementations with deterministic (seeded) data; no wall-clock timing.
+- Integration tests should use in-memory or temp directories to avoid flakiness.
+
+## Working Agreement
+- Determinism: stable ordering, content-addressed caches, UTC ISO-8601 timestamps.
+- Offline-friendly: no hardcoded external endpoints; respect BYO trust roots.
+- Observability: structured logs with event ids; expose counters via `AdvisoryAiMetrics`.
+- Configuration: prefer `IOptions<T>` with data annotations; validate on startup.
+- Update sprint status in docs/implplan/SPRINT_*.md when starting/completing work.
+- Mirror decisions in sprint Decisions & Risks section.

+# AdvisoryAI WebService Agent Charter
+
+## Mission
+- Expose HTTP API endpoints for Advisory AI interactions.
+- Handle request validation, rate limiting, and response formatting.
+- Coordinate with consent, justification, and orchestration services.
+
+## Responsibilities
+- Maintain API endpoint definitions in Program.cs (minimal APIs).
+- Keep request/response contracts stable and documented.
+- Enforce rate limiting, consent checks, and proper error handling.
+- Wire hosting extensions and router integration.
+
+## Required Reading
+- docs/README.md
+- docs/07_HIGH_LEVEL_ARCHITECTURE.md
+- docs/modules/platform/architecture-overview.md
+- docs/modules/advisory-ai/architecture.md
+- src/AdvisoryAI/AGENTS.md (parent module charter)
+- docs/policy/assistant-parameters.md (guardrail and ops knobs)
+- docs/modules/advisory-ai/deployment.md (service configuration)
+
+## Working Directory & Scope
+- Primary: src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.WebService/
+- Dependencies: StellaOps.AdvisoryAI, StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Hosting
+- Shared libraries: Router.AspNet for Stella Router integration
+
+## Key Components
+- `Program.cs` — WebApplication setup, endpoint mapping, middleware pipeline.
+- `Contracts/` — Request/response DTOs for API endpoints:
+  - `AdvisoryPlanRequest/Response` — plan generation
+  - `AdvisoryExecuteRequest` — execution trigger
+  - `AdvisoryQueueRequest/Response` — queue management
+  - `ExplainRequest/Response` — explanation endpoints
+  - `ConsentContracts` — AI consent management (VEX-AI-016)
+  - `JustifyContracts` — justification generation
+  - `PolicyStudioContracts` — policy studio integration
+  - `RemediationContracts` — remediation plan endpoints
+- `Services/` — Service implementations:
+  - `IAiConsentStore` / `InMemoryAiConsentStore` — consent tracking
+  - `IAiJustificationGenerator` / `DefaultAiJustificationGenerator` — justification generation
+
+## API Endpoints
+- POST /api/advisory/plan — Generate advisory plan
+- POST /api/advisory/execute — Execute advisory plan
+- POST /api/advisory/queue — Queue advisory task
+- GET /api/advisory/output/{id} — Retrieve advisory output
+- POST /api/advisory/explain — Generate explanation
+- Consent and justification endpoints per VEX-AI-016
+
+## Testing Expectations
+- Unit tests in `__Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests` cover endpoint logic.
+- Integration tests use WebApplicationFactory for full pipeline testing.
+- Test rate limiting behavior, consent enforcement, and error responses.
+- Verify request validation and contract serialization.
+
+## Working Agreement
+- Determinism: stable response ordering, content-addressed output IDs.
+- Offline-friendly: endpoints must degrade gracefully when inference is unavailable.
+- Observability: structured logs with request correlation ids; expose rate limiter metrics.
+- Configuration: bind from appsettings.json and environment variables (ADVISORYAI__ prefix).
+- Security: validate all input, enforce consent where required, no embedding secrets.
+- Update sprint status in docs/implplan/SPRINT_*.md when starting/completing work.
+- Mirror decisions in sprint Decisions & Risks section.

+# AdvisoryAI Worker Agent Charter
+
+## Mission
+- Execute queued advisory tasks asynchronously as a background service.
+- Process advisory plans, orchestrate pipeline execution, and record metrics.
+
+## Responsibilities
+- Maintain `AdvisoryTaskWorker` background service for queue consumption.
+- Coordinate plan creation/caching and pipeline execution.
+- Track metrics for plan creation, execution latency, and cache hit rates.
+- Handle graceful shutdown and task cancellation.
+
+## Required Reading
+- docs/README.md
+- docs/07_HIGH_LEVEL_ARCHITECTURE.md

+
+## Working Directory & Scope
+- Primary: src/AdvisoryAI/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Worker/
+- Dependencies: StellaOps.AdvisoryAI, StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Hosting
+- Coordinates with: WebService (queues tasks), core orchestrator (executes plans)
+
+## Key Components
+- `Program.cs` — Host builder setup with AdvisoryAI core and hosted service registration.
+- `Services/AdvisoryTaskWorker.cs` — BackgroundService that:
+  - Dequeues tasks from `IAdvisoryTaskQueue`
+  - Checks `IAdvisoryPlanCache` for existing plans
+  - Creates new plans via `IAdvisoryPipelineOrchestrator`
+  - Executes plans via `IAdvisoryPipelineExecutor`
+  - Records metrics via `AdvisoryPipelineMetrics`
+  - Uses injected `TimeProvider` for deterministic timing
+
+## Processing Flow
+1. Dequeue message from `IAdvisoryTaskQueue`
+2. Check plan cache by `PlanCacheKey` (unless `ForceRefresh`)
+3. If cache miss, create plan via orchestrator and cache it
+4. Execute plan via executor
+5. Record metrics and log completion
+6. Loop until cancellation
+
+## Testing Expectations
+- Unit tests in `__Tests/StellaOps.AdvisoryAI.Tests` cover worker logic.
+- Test with mocked queue, cache, orchestrator, and executor.
+- Verify cancellation handling and graceful shutdown.
+- Test cache hit/miss scenarios and ForceRefresh behavior.
+- Use FakeTimeProvider for deterministic timing tests.
+
+## Working Agreement
+- Determinism: use injected TimeProvider, stable plan caching keys, ordered execution.
+- Offline-friendly: worker must handle unavailable inference gracefully.
+- Observability: structured logs with activity tracing, expose pipeline metrics.
+- Configuration: bind from appsettings.json and environment variables (ADVISORYAI__ prefix).
+- Queue/cache: respect bounded capacities and TTLs configured via options.
+- Update sprint status in docs/implplan/SPRINT_*.md when starting/completing work.
+- Mirror decisions in sprint Decisions & Risks section.

+# AirGap Bundle Agent Charter
+
+## Mission
+- Provide bundle format, parsing, building, and signing for air-gapped deployments.
+- Enable creation and consumption of offline knowledge snapshot bundles.
+
+## Responsibilities
+- Maintain bundle format schemas and models (`BundleManifest`, `KnowledgeSnapshotManifest`).
+- Implement bundle building (`BundleBuilder`), loading (`BundleLoader`), and reading/writing (`SnapshotBundleReader/Writer`).
+- Provide manifest signing (`SnapshotManifestSigner`) with DSSE/TUF verification support.
+- Implement import targets for Concelier advisories, Excititor VEX, and policy registry.
+- Ensure bundle operations are deterministic and verifiable.

+- docs/modules/platform/architecture-overview.md
+- docs/modules/airgap/architecture.md
+- src/AirGap/AGENTS.md (parent module charter)
+- docs/24_OFFLINE_KIT.md
+
+## Working Directory & Scope
+- Primary: src/AirGap/__Libraries/StellaOps.AirGap.Bundle/
+- Dependencies: StellaOps.AirGap.Persistence, StellaOps.Cryptography
+- Coordinates with: AirGap.Importer (consumes bundles), AirGap.Controller (seal state)
+
+## Key Components
+### Models/
+- `BundleManifest.cs` — Top-level bundle metadata and entry list
+- `KnowledgeSnapshotManifest.cs` — Snapshot-specific manifest with digest references
+
+### Services/
+- `BundleBuilder.cs` — Creates bundles from source data with manifest generation
+- `BundleLoader.cs` — Loads and validates existing bundles
+- `SnapshotBundleReader.cs` — Streaming reader for bundle contents
+- `SnapshotBundleWriter.cs` — Streaming writer for bundle creation
+- `SnapshotManifestSigner.cs` — DSSE signing of manifests
+- `TimeAnchorService.cs` — Time anchor integration for staleness tracking
+- `KnowledgeSnapshotImporter.cs` — Orchestrates snapshot import
+
+### Import Targets/
+- `ConcelierAdvisoryImportTarget.cs` — Advisory data import
+- `ExcititorVexImportTarget.cs` — VEX statement import
+- `PolicyRegistryImportTarget.cs` — Policy bundle import
+
+### Extractors/
+- Archive extraction utilities for bundle contents
+
+### Schemas/
+- JSON schema definitions for bundle formats
+
+### Validation/
+- Bundle format and content validators
+
+### Serialization/
+- Bundle serialization/deserialization helpers
+
+## Testing Expectations
+- Unit tests in `__Libraries/__Tests/StellaOps.AirGap.Bundle.Tests/`
+- Test bundle round-trips (build -> serialize -> load -> verify)
+- Verify manifest signing and verification with test keys
+- Test import targets with fixture data
+- Ensure deterministic ordering in manifests and archives
+- Test extraction with malformed/tampered data for security
+
+## Working Agreement
+- Determinism: stable manifest ordering, content-addressed digests, reproducible archives.
+- Offline-friendly: no network calls; all data comes from local bundle files.
+- Security: mandatory signature verification; reject tampered bundles.
+- Schema stability: bundle format changes require versioning and migration support.
+- Observability: structured logs for bundle operations, import metrics.
+- Update sprint status in docs/implplan/SPRINT_*.md when starting/completing work.
+- Mirror decisions in sprint Decisions & Risks section.
