# Sprint 20260117_001_ATTESTOR - Periodic Rekor Verification Job
## Topic & Scope
Implement a scheduled background job that periodically re-verifies Rekor transparency log entries to detect tampering, time-skew violations, and root consistency issues. This addresses the product advisory requirement for long-term audit assurance of logged attestations.
- **Working directory:** `src/Attestor/`
- **Evidence:** Scheduler job implementation, verification service, metrics, Doctor checks
## Problem Statement
Current state:
- Attestor submits attestations to Rekor v2 and stores `{uuid, logIndex, integratedTime}`
- Verification only happens at submission time
- No periodic re-verification to detect post-submission tampering or log inconsistencies
- No time-skew detection between build timestamps and Rekor integration times
Advisory requires:
- Scheduled job to sample and re-verify existing Rekor entries
- Root consistency monitoring against stored checkpoints
- Time-skew enforcement: reject if `integratedTime` deviates significantly from expected window
- Alerting on verification failures
## Dependencies & Concurrency
- **Depends on:** Existing Attestor Rekor infrastructure (`RekorHttpClient`, `RekorReceipt`, `RekorEntryEntity`)
- **Blocks:** None
- **Parallel safe:** Attestor-only changes; no cross-module conflicts
## Documentation Prerequisites
- docs/modules/attestor/architecture.md
- src/Attestor/AGENTS.md (if exists)
- Existing BundleRotationJob pattern in `src/Scheduler/__Libraries/StellaOps.Scheduler.Worker/Attestor/`
## Technical Design
### Configuration
```csharp
public sealed class RekorVerificationOptions
{
/// <summary>
/// Enable periodic Rekor verification.
/// </summary>
public bool Enabled { get; set; } = true;
/// <summary>
/// Cron expression for verification schedule. Default: daily at 3 AM UTC.
/// </summary>
public string CronSchedule { get; set; } = "0 3 * * *";
/// <summary>
/// Maximum number of entries to verify per run.
/// </summary>
public int MaxEntriesPerRun { get; set; } = 1000;
/// <summary>
/// Sample rate for entries (0.0-1.0). 1.0 = verify all, 0.1 = verify 10%.
/// </summary>
public double SampleRate { get; set; } = 0.1;
/// <summary>
/// Maximum allowed time skew between build timestamp and integratedTime (seconds).
/// </summary>
public int MaxTimeSkewSeconds { get; set; } = 300; // 5 minutes
/// <summary>
/// Days to look back for entries to verify.
/// </summary>
public int LookbackDays { get; set; } = 90;
/// <summary>
/// Rekor server URL for verification.
/// </summary>
public string RekorUrl { get; set; } = "https://rekor.sigstore.dev";
/// <summary>
/// Enable alerting on verification failures.
/// </summary>
public bool AlertOnFailure { get; set; } = true;
/// <summary>
/// Threshold for triggering critical alert (percentage of failed verifications).
/// </summary>
public double CriticalFailureThreshold { get; set; } = 0.05; // 5%

## Decisions & Risks
| Decision | Rationale |
|----------|-----------|
| Daily verification by default | Balance between assurance and API load |
| 10% sample rate | Full verification impractical for large deployments |
| 5-minute time skew tolerance | Accounts for clock drift and network delays |
| BackgroundService pattern | Consistent with existing Scheduler jobs |
| Risk | Mitigation |
|------|------------|
| Rekor API rate limiting | Configurable sample rate; batch requests |
| False positives from clock skew | Configurable tolerance; alerting thresholds |
| Performance impact | Run during off-peak hours; configurable limits |

# Sprint 20260117_002_EXCITITOR - VEX-Rekor Linkage Tightening
## Topic & Scope
Strengthen the linkage between VEX statements/observations and their Rekor transparency log entries. Currently, VEX observations and decisions can be signed and submitted to Rekor, but the resulting `{uuid, logIndex, integratedTime}` is not consistently stored with the VEX data, breaking the audit trail.
- **Working directory:** `src/Excititor/`, `src/VexHub/`, `src/Policy/`
- **Evidence:** Schema migrations, model updates, API changes, verification tests
## Problem Statement
### Current State (Gaps Identified)
| Component | What's Stored | What's Missing |
|-----------|---------------|----------------|
| `VexObservation` (Excititor) | Linkset, signature metadata | `RekorUuid`, `RekorLogIndex`, `RekorIntegratedTime` |
| `AggregatedVexStatement` (VexHub) | Content digest, signatures | `RekorUuid`, `RekorLogIndex`, transparency URL |
| `VexStatementChangeEvent` | Provenance, conflicts | `RekorEntryId` |
| `VexStatementEntity` (Postgres) | 31 columns | Rekor linkage columns |
| `VexDecisionSigningService` (Policy) | Returns `VexRekorMetadata` | **Forward linkage exists** - no gap |
### Advisory Requirement
VEX statements and their transparency log proofs must be verifiably linked:
- Every signed VEX statement should reference its Rekor entry
- Verification should be possible offline using stored inclusion proofs
- Audit queries should traverse VEX -> Statement -> Rekor entry
## Dependencies & Concurrency
- **Depends on:** None (extends existing infrastructure)
- **Blocks:** None
- **Parallel safe with:** SPRINT_20260117_001_ATTESTOR (different modules)
- **Related to:** Policy Engine VexDecisionEmitter (already has forward linkage)
## Documentation Prerequisites
- docs/modules/excititor/architecture.md
- docs/modules/excititor/vex_observations.md
- docs/modules/policy/architecture.md (§6.1 VEX decision attestation pipeline)
- src/Excititor/AGENTS.md
## Technical Design
### 1. Excititor VexObservation Enhancement
```csharp
// File: src/Excititor/__Libraries/StellaOps.Excititor.Core/Observations/VexObservation.cs
public sealed record VexObservation
{
// ... existing properties ...
/// <summary>
/// Rekor transparency log linkage for signed observations.
/// Null if observation was not submitted to Rekor.
/// </summary>
public RekorLinkage? RekorLinkage { get; init; }
}
/// <summary>
/// Rekor transparency log entry reference.
/// </summary>
public sealed record RekorLinkage
{
/// <summary>
/// Rekor entry UUID (e.g., "24296fb24b8ad77a...").
/// </summary>
public required string Uuid { get; init; }
/// <summary>
/// Rekor log index (monotonically increasing).
/// </summary>
public required long LogIndex { get; init; }
/// <summary>
/// Time the entry was integrated into the log (RFC 3339).
/// </summary>
public required DateTimeOffset IntegratedTime { get; init; }
/// <summary>
/// Rekor server URL.
/// </summary>
public string? LogUrl { get; init; }
/// <summary>
/// RFC 6962 inclusion proof for offline verification.
/// </summary>
public InclusionProof? InclusionProof { get; init; }
/// <summary>
/// Signed tree head at time of entry.
/// </summary>
public string? TreeRoot { get; init; }
/// <summary>
/// Tree size at time of entry.
/// </summary>
public long? TreeSize { get; init; }
}
/// <summary>
/// RFC 6962 Merkle tree inclusion proof.
/// </summary>
public sealed record InclusionProof
{
/// <summary>
/// Index of the entry in the tree.
/// </summary>
public required long LeafIndex { get; init; }
/// <summary>
/// Hashes of sibling nodes from leaf to root.
/// </summary>
public required IReadOnlyList<string> Hashes { get; init; }
}
```
### 2. VexHub AggregatedVexStatement Enhancement
```csharp
// File: src/VexHub/__Libraries/StellaOps.VexHub.Core/Models/VexHubModels.cs
public sealed record AggregatedVexStatement
{
// ... existing 31 properties ...
/// <summary>
/// Rekor transparency log entry reference.
/// </summary>
public RekorLinkage? RekorLinkage { get; init; }
}
```
### 3. VexStatementChangeEvent Enhancement
```csharp
// File: src/Excititor/__Libraries/StellaOps.Excititor.Core/Observations/VexStatementChangeEvent.cs
public sealed record VexStatementChangeEvent
{
// ... existing properties ...
/// <summary>
/// Rekor entry ID if the change event was attested.
/// </summary>
public string? RekorEntryId { get; init; }
/// <summary>
/// Rekor log index for the change attestation.
/// </summary>
public long? RekorLogIndex { get; init; }
}
```
### 4. Database Schema Migrations

### 6. API Enhancements
```csharp
// Excititor API: Include Rekor linkage in observation responses
// GET /vex/observations/{observationId}
public sealed record VexObservationResponse
{
// ... existing fields ...
/// <summary>
/// Rekor transparency log linkage.
/// </summary>
public RekorLinkageDto? RekorLinkage { get; init; }
}
public sealed record RekorLinkageDto
{
public string? Uuid { get; init; }
public long? LogIndex { get; init; }
public DateTimeOffset? IntegratedTime { get; init; }
public string? LogUrl { get; init; }
public string? VerificationUrl { get; init; } // Constructed: {logUrl}/api/v1/log/entries/{uuid}
}
// POST /vex/observations/{observationId}/attest
// Request: AttestObservationRequest { SubmitToRekor: bool }
// Response: VexObservationResponse (with RekorLinkage populated)
```
### 7. CLI Integration
```bash
# View Rekor linkage for an observation
stella vex observation show <observation-id> --show-rekor
# Verify Rekor linkage
stella vex observation verify-rekor <observation-id>
# Attest and link an observation
stella vex observation attest <observation-id> --submit-to-rekor
```

## Decisions & Risks
| Decision | Rationale |
|----------|-----------|
| Nullable `RekorLinkage` | Not all observations will be attested; backward compatibility |
| Store inclusion proof | Enables offline verification without Rekor access |
| Separate attestation endpoint | Attestation is optional and may happen after ingestion |
| Risk | Mitigation |
|------|------------|
| Migration on large tables | Add columns as nullable; backfill separately |
| Rekor API availability | Store inclusion proof for offline verification |
| Schema bloat | Inclusion proof stored as JSONB; can be pruned |

# Sprint 20260117_003_BINDEX - Delta-Sig Predicate for Function-Level Binary Diffs
## Topic & Scope
Implement a new DSSE predicate type `stellaops/delta-sig/v1` that captures function-level binary diffs for signed hotfixes and backports. This enables policy gates based on change scope (e.g., "≤ N functions touched") and provides auditable minimal patches with per-function hashes.
- **Working directory:** `src/BinaryIndex/`, `src/Attestor/`, `src/Policy/`
- **Evidence:** Predicate schema, diff generation service, attestation integration, policy gates
## Problem Statement
### Current Capability
BinaryIndex already has comprehensive binary analysis infrastructure:
- **Ghidra integration**: `GhidraHeadlessManager`, `VersionTrackingService`, ghidriff bridge
- **B2R2 IR lifting**: `B2R2LowUirLiftingService` with multi-architecture support
- **BSim similarity**: Behavioral signature matching
- **Semantic diffing**: 4-phase architecture (IR, corpus, Ghidra, decompiler/ML)
### Missing Capability
No mechanism to:
1. Package function-level diffs into a signed attestation predicate
2. Submit delta attestations to transparency logs
3. Gate releases based on diff scope (function count, changed bytes)
4. Verify that a binary patch only touches declared functions
### Advisory Requirement
```json
{
"predicateType": "stellaops/delta-sig/v1",
"subject": [{ "uri": "oci://...", "digest": {...}, "arch": "linux-amd64" }],
"delta": [
{
"function_id": "foo::bar(int,char)",
"addr": 140737488355328,
"old_hash": "<sha256>",
"new_hash": "<sha256>",
"diff_len": 112
}
],
"tooling": { "lifter": "ghidra", "canonical_ir": "llvm-ir-15" }
}
```
## Dependencies & Concurrency
- **Depends on:**
- Existing BinaryIndex Ghidra/B2R2 infrastructure (DONE)
- Signer DSSE predicate registration
- **Blocks:** None
- **Parallel safe with:** SPRINT_20260117_001 (Attestor), SPRINT_20260117_002 (Excititor)
## Documentation Prerequisites
- docs/modules/binary-index/architecture.md
- docs/modules/binary-index/semantic-diffing.md
- docs/modules/signer/architecture.md
- docs/modules/attestor/architecture.md
- Archived: SPRINT_20260105_001_003_BINDEX_semdiff_ghidra.md

## Decisions & Risks
| Decision | Rationale |
|----------|-----------|
| Leverage existing B2R2/Ghidra | Already implemented and tested; avoid duplication |
| Support both byte and IR diffs | Byte is fast, IR provides semantic context |
| Optional semantic similarity | Expensive to compute; not always needed |
| Deterministic function ordering | Reproducible predicate hashes |
| Risk | Mitigation |
|------|------------|
| Large binary analysis time | Configurable limits; async processing |
| Ghidra process management | Existing semaphore-based concurrency control |
| False positives in function matching | BSim correlation; configurable thresholds |

# Advisory: DSSE, Rekor, Gates, Audited Decisions
> **Status:** ARCHIVED (2026-01-17)
> **Disposition:** Translated to implementation sprints
> **Sprints Created:**
> - `SPRINT_20260117_001_ATTESTOR_periodic_rekor_verification`
> - `SPRINT_20260117_002_EXCITITOR_vex_rekor_linkage`

## Implementation Notes
### Gap Analysis Summary
| Advisory Claim | Current State | Action Taken |
|----------------|---------------|--------------|
| Authority handles DSSE signing | **Signer** handles DSSE; Authority handles identity/auth | No change - current design correct |
| "Router" submits to Rekor v2 | **Attestor** already does this | No change |
| CycloneDX 1.6 with hashes | Scanner supports CDX 1.6/1.7 | No change |
| OPA/Rego CI gate | Policy Engine has native gates (SPL + SignatureRequiredGate) | No change - SPL is equivalent |
| Periodic Rekor re-verification | Missing | **SPRINT_20260117_001** created |
| VEX-Rekor linkage | Incomplete backlinks | **SPRINT_20260117_002** created |
| Delta-sig predicate | Not implemented | **SPRINT_20260117_003** created |
### Decisions
1. **OPA/Rego NOT adopted** - Stella Ops already has SPL (Policy DSL) and native .NET gates (`SignatureRequiredGate`, `SbomPresenceGate`, etc.) that provide equivalent capability. Adding OPA would create two policy languages to maintain with no capability benefit.
2. **Authority signing NOT changed** - The advisory incorrectly suggests Authority should handle DSSE signing. Current architecture correctly separates:
- Authority: Identity, OAuth2/OIDC tokens, sender-constrained OpToks
- Signer: DSSE bundle creation, Fulcio/KMS signing
3. **Delta-sig leverages existing Ghidra/B2R2** - BinaryIndex module already has:
- `GhidraHeadlessManager` with process pooling
- `B2R2LowUirLiftingService` for IR lifting
- `VersionTrackingService` for function matching
- `BSim` for semantic similarity
---
## Original Advisory Content
Here's a short, implementationready plan to turn your SBOMs into enforceable, cryptographic gates in Stella Ops—sequence, gate checks, and a compact threat model you can wire into a sprint.
---
# Minimal sequence (do now)
1. **CI build → Scanner/Sbomer**
Compute `sha256` of each artifact and emit CycloneDX 1.6 SBOM with `components[].hashes[]`. ([CycloneDX][1])
2. **Authority (DSSE sign)**
Canonicalize SBOM JSON; wrap as DSSE `payloadType` for attestations and sign (HSM/KMS key). ([in-toto][2])
3. **Router (Rekor v2)**
Upload DSSE / intoto Statement to Rekor v2; persist returned `uuid`, `logIndex`, `integratedTime`. ([Sigstore Blog][3])
4. **Vexer/Excititor (VEX)**
Emit OpenVEX/CSAF (or intoto predicate) referencing CycloneDX `serialNumber`/`bom-ref` and the Rekor `uuid`. ([in-toto][2])
5. **CI gate (OPA/Rego)**
Verify (a) DSSE signature chain, (b) `payloadType` matches expected, (c) Rekor inclusion (via `logIndex`/UUID), (d) allowed `predicateType`, (e) component hash equals subject digest. ([Witness][4])
---
# Pastein Rego (gate)
```rego
package stella.gate
deny[msg] {
input.attestation.payloadType != "application/vnd.cyclonedx+json"
msg = "unexpected payloadType"
}
deny[msg] {
not input.rekor.logIndex
msg = "missing rekor logIndex"
}
/* extend:
- verify DSSE signature against Authority key
- verify Rekor inclusion proof/integratedTime
- ensure predicateType {
"https://cyclonedx.org/schema/bom-1.6",
"https://openvex.org/v1"
}
- ensure subject digest == components[].hashes[].content
*/
```
---
# Compact threat model (top 3 + mitigations)
* **Tampering at rest** → Anchor in Rekor v2; verify inclusion + `integratedTime`; require DSSE signature with Authority HSM key. ([Sigstore Blog][3])
* **Timeshift / backdating** → Reject if `integratedTime` < pipeline build time skew; optional RFC3161 timestamping on uploads. (Policy check in Scheduler.) ([Sigstore Blog][3])
* **Provenance spoofing** Enforce valid `predicateType` (intoto/OpenVEX), and map `signatures[].keyid` to trusted Authority keys (Fulcio/HSM). ([in-toto][2])
---
# Where this lands in Stella
* **Scanner**: compute subject digests; emit artifact metadata.
* **Sbomer**: produce CycloneDX 1.6 with hashes, CBOM/attestations support ready. ([CycloneDX][1])
* **Authority**: create DSSE envelope + sign; maintain key roster & rotation. ([Gradle Documentation][5])
* **Router**: call Rekor v2; persist `uuid`/`logIndex`/`integratedTime` and expose `verifyRekor(uuid)`. ([Sigstore Blog][3])
* **Vexer/Excititor**: emit OpenVEX / intoto predicates linking `bom-ref` and Rekor `uuid`. ([in-toto][2])
---
# Final sprint checklist
* Enable DSSE wrapping + Authority signing in one CI pipeline; push to Rekor v2; store `logIndex`. ([Sigstore Blog][3])
* Add OPA policy to verify `payloadType`, Rekor presence, and digest match; fail CI on violation. ([Witness][4])
* Add Scheduler job to periodically reverify Rekor roots and enforce timeskew rules. ([Sigstore Blog][3])
**Why now:** CycloneDX 1.6 added attestations/CBOM, making SBOMs firstclass, signed evidence; Rekor v2 lowers cost and simplifies opsideal for anchoring these facts and gating releases. ([CycloneDX][1])
If you want, I can drop this into `docs/policies/OPA/stella.gate.rego` and a sample CI job for your GitLab pipeline next.

Here's a compact, engineerfirst guide to emitting a CycloneDX SBOM, wrapping it in a DSSE/intoto attestation, and anchoring it in Rekor v2so you can copy/paste shapes straight into your Sbomer Authority Router flow.
---
# Why this matters (quick background)
* **CycloneDX**: the SBOM format you'll emit.
* **DSSE**: minimal, unambiguous envelope for signing arbitrary payloads (your SBOM).
* **intoto Statement**: standard wrapper with `subject` + `predicate` so policy engines can reason about artifacts.
* **Rekor (v2)**: transparency log anchor (UUID, index, integrated time) to verify later at gates.

"integratedTime": "2026-01-15T12:34:56Z"
}
```
**Muststore (Router):** `uuid`, `logIndex`, `integratedTime`.
---
# Endtoend checks (put these in your CI gate)
* **SBOM shape**: JSON Schema validate CycloneDX; ensure `serialNumber` + percomponent hashes exist.
* **DSSE**: verify signature over `payload` and `payloadType`; match `keyid` to trusted keys/profile.
* **intoto**: confirm `subject.digest` equals the release OCI digest; `predicateType` matches CycloneDX 1.6/1.7.
* **Rekor v2**: look up `uuid` confirm `logIndex` & `integratedTime` and verify inclusion proof.
---
# Stella Ops module contract (TL;DR)
* **Sbomer** emits CycloneDX 1.6/1.7 with `bom-ref` + hashes.
* **Authority** DSSE sign (`payloadType=application/vnd.cyclonedx+json`).
* **Excititor/Vexer** optional intoto Statement with CycloneDX predicate or pointer.
* **Router** store Rekor v2 tuple; expose verify endpoint for gates.
If you want, I can turn this into readytorun .NET 10 DTOs + validation (FluentValidation) and a tiny verifier CLI that checks all four layers in one go.
Here's a compact, auditorfriendly way to sign **binary diffs** so they fit cleanly into today's supplychain tooling (DSSE, intoto, Sigstore/Rekor) without inventing a new envelope.
---
# DSSE "deltasig" predicate for signed binary diffs (what & why)
* **Goal:** prove *exactly what changed* in a compiled artifact (perfunction patching, hotfixes/backports) and who signed itusing the standard **DSSE** (Dead Simple Signing Envelope) + **intoto predicate typing** so verifiers and transparency logs work outofthebox.
* **Why not just hash the whole file?** Fullfile hashes miss *where* and *how* a patch changed code. A delta predicate captures functionlevel changes with canonical digests, so auditors can verify the patch is minimal and intentional, and policy can gate on "only approved backports applied."
---
# Envelope strategy
* Keep the **DSSE envelope** as usual (`payloadType`, `payload`, `signatures`).
* The DSSE `payload` is a **canonical JSON** object typed as an intoto predicate.
* Predicate type (minimal): `stellaops/delta-sig/v1`.
This keeps interoperability with:
* **Sigstore/Rekor** (log DSSE envelopes),
* **intoto** (predicate typing & subject semantics),
* existing verification flows (cosign/sigstorepython/intotoverify).
---
# Minimal predicate schema

}
}
```
**Notes**
* Use **SHA256** for `subject.digest`, `old_hash`, `new_hash`, and `signed_digest` to maximize compatibility with Rekor/Sigstore. (If you control both ends, **BLAKE2b256** is a fine faster alternative.)
* `function_id` should be a **stable signature** (normalized symbol or demangled prototype); fall back to address + size if needed.
* `compressed_diff_b64` is optional but handy for reproducible patch replay.
---
# Signing & verification (practical)
1. **Produce canonical payload**
* Serialize JSON with **RFC 8785** canonicalization (no insignificant whitespace, deterministic key order).
2. **Wrap in DSSE**
* `payloadType`: `application/vnd.in-toto+json` (common) or a dedicated type string if you prefer.
* `payload`: base64 of canonical JSON bytes.
3. **Sign**
* Use **cosign** or **sigstorepython** to sign DSSE; store in **Rekor** (transparency).
4. **Verify**
* Check DSSE signature decode predicate verify each `old_hash`/`new_hash` against the target bytes optionally replay `compressed_diff_b64` and rehash to confirm `new_hash`.
Policy examples you can enforce:
* Only allow releases whose delta predicate touches ** N functions** and **no controlflow edges** outside whitelisted modules.
* Require `tooling.lifter` in an approved set and `signed_digest.algo == "sha256"`.
---
# Why this fits your stack (Stella Ops, CI/CD, auditors)
* **Auditable:** functionlevel intent captured, reproducible verification, deterministic hashing.
* **Composable:** works with existing DSSE/intoto pipelines; attach to OCI artifacts or release manifests.
* **Gateable:** let release policy check the delta surface and signer identity before promotion.
* **Futureproof:** can add PQC keys later without changing the predicate.
If you want, I can generate:
* A JSON Schema (`$id`, types, enums, bounds) for `stellaops/delta-sig/v1`.
* A tiny reference **signer** (CLI) that emits canonical JSON + DSSE, and a **verifier** that checks functionlevel diffs against a binary.

Here's a tight, practical first pass for a **"doctor" setup wizard** that runs right after install and anytime from Settings → Diagnostics. It gives instant confidence that Stella Ops is wired correctly, without needing full integrations configured.
---
# What the "doctor" does (in plain terms)
It runs a few lightweight health checks to confirm your system can:
* talk to its database,
* reach its attestation store (for signed proofs),
* verify a sample artifact endtoend (SBOM + VEX).
If these pass, your install is sound and you can add integrations later at your pace.
---
# Mandatory checks (first pass)
1. **DB connectivity + schema version**
* **Why**: If the DB is unreachable or the schema is outdated, nothing else matters.
* **Checks**:
* TCP/connect to Postgres URI.
* `SELECT 1;` liveness.
* Read `schema_version` from `stella.meta` (or your flyway/liquibase table).
* Compare to the app's expected version; warn if migrations pending.
* **CLI sketch**:
```bash
stella doctor db \
--url "$STELLA_DB_URL" \
--expect-schema "2026.01.0"
```
* **Pass criteria**: reachable + current (or actionable "run migrations" hint).
2. **Attestation store availability (Rekor/Cosign)**
* **Why**: Stella relies on signed evidence; if the ledger/store isn't reachable, you can't prove integrity.
* **Checks**:
* Resolve/HTTP 200 for Rekor base URL (or your mirror).
* Cosign key material present (KMS, keyless, or offline bundle).
* Clock skew sanity (<5s) for signature verification.
* **CLI sketch**:
```bash
stella doctor attest \
--rekor-url "$STELLA_REKOR_URL" \
--cosign-key "$STELLA_COSIGN_KEY" \
--mode "online|offline"
```
* **Pass criteria**: ledger reachable (or offline bundle found) + keys valid.
3. **Artifact verification pipeline run (SBOM + VEX sample)**
* **Why**: Proves the *whole* trust path works—fetch, verify, evaluate policy.
* **Checks**:
* Pull a tiny, known test artifact by **digest** (immutable).
* Verify signature/attestations (DSSE in Rekor or offline bundle).
* Fetch/validate **SBOM** (CycloneDX/SPDX) and a sample **VEX**.
* Run policy engine: "nogo if critical vulns without VEX justification."
* **CLI sketch**:
```bash
stella doctor verify \
--artifact "oci://registry.example/test@sha256:deadbeef..." \
--require-sbom \
--require-vex
```
* **Pass criteria**: signature + SBOM + VEX validate; policy engine returns ✅.
---
# Output & UX
* **Onescreen summary** with green/yellow/red statuses and terse fixes.
* **Copypaste remediations** (DB URI example, Rekor URL, cosign key path).
* **Evidence links** (e.g., "View attestation entry" or "Open policy run").
* **Export**: `stella doctor --json > doctor-report.json` for support.
---
# Where this fits in the installer/wizard
* **UI & CLI** both follow the same steps:
1. DB setup → quick migration → **Doctor: DB**
2. Choose attestation mode (Rekor/cosign keyless/offline bundle) → **Doctor: Attest**
3. Minimal "verification pipeline" config (test registry creds or bundled sample) → **Doctor: Verify**
* Each step has **defaults** (Postgres + Rekor URL + bundled demo artifact) and a **"Skip for now"** with a reminder tile in Settings → Integrations.
---
# Failure → Suggested fixes (examples)
* **DB schema mismatch** → "Run `stella migrate up` to 2026.01.0."
* **Rekor unreachable** → "Check DNS/proxy; or switch to Offline Attestations in Settings."
* **Cosign key missing** → "Add key (KMS/file) or enable keyless; see Keys → Add."
* **SBOM/VEX missing** → "Enable 'Generate SBOM on build' and 'Collect VEX from vendors', or load a demo bundle."
---
# Next steps (beyond first pass)
* Optional checks the wizard can add later:
* **Registry** reachability (pull by digest).
* **Settings store** (Valkey cache reachability).
* **Notifications** (send test webhook/email).
* **SCM/Vault/LDAP** plugin stubs: ping + auth flow (but not required to pass install).
If you want, I can turn this into:
* a readytoship **CLI command spec**,
* a **UI wireframe** of the three-step doctor,
* or **JSON schemas** for the doctor's machinereadable report.
