+# Golden Pairs Corpus
+
+Golden pairs are curated binary pairs (original vs patched) used to validate binary-diff logic.
+Binaries are stored outside git; this folder tracks metadata, hashes, and reports only.
+
+## Layout
+
+```
+datasets/golden-pairs/
+  index.json
+  CVE-2022-0847/
+    metadata.json
+    original/
+      vmlinux
+      vmlinux.sha256
+      vmlinux.sections.json
+    patched/
+      vmlinux
+      vmlinux.sha256
+      vmlinux.sections.json
+    diff-report.json
+    advisories/
+      USN-5317-1.txt
+```
+
+## File Conventions
+
+- `metadata.json` follows `docs/schemas/golden-pair-v1.schema.json`.
+- `index.json` follows `docs/schemas/golden-pairs-index.schema.json`.
+- `*.sha256` contains a single lowercase hex digest, no prefix.
+- `*.sections.json` contains section hash output from the ELF hash extractor.
+- `diff-report.json` is produced by `golden-pairs diff`.
+
+## Adding a Pair
+
+1. Create a `CVE-YYYY-NNNN/metadata.json` with required fields.
+2. Fetch binaries via `golden-pairs mirror CVE-...`.
+3. Generate section hashes for each binary.
+4. Run `golden-pairs diff CVE-...` and review `diff-report.json`.
+5. Update `index.json` with status and summary counts.
+
+## Offline Notes
+
+- Use cached package mirrors or `file://` sources for air-gapped runs.
+- Keep hashes and timestamps deterministic; always use UTC ISO-8601 timestamps.

+- DevOps engineer: maintain devops services, tools, and release assets.
+- QA engineer: add and maintain tests for devops services and tools.
+- Docs/PM: keep sprint status and devops docs aligned.
+
+## Working directory
+- Primary: `devops/**`
+- Avoid edits outside devops unless a sprint explicitly allows it.
+
+## Required reading (treat as read before DOING)
+- `docs/README.md`
+- `docs/07_HIGH_LEVEL_ARCHITECTURE.md`
+- `docs/ARCHITECTURE_OVERVIEW.md`
+- `docs/operations/devops/architecture.md`
+- `docs/modules/platform/architecture-overview.md`
+- Sprint file under `docs/implplan/`.
+
+## Coding standards
+- Target .NET 10; enable preview features when configured.
+- TreatWarningsAsErrors must be true in new projects.
+- Deterministic outputs only; avoid environment-dependent behavior.
+- Use invariant culture for parsing/formatting in production and tests.
+
+## Testing
+- Use xUnit; tests must be offline-safe and deterministic.
+- For web services, prefer in-memory TestServer or WebApplicationFactory.
+
+## Sprint/status discipline
+- Update sprint task status: TODO -> DOING -> DONE/BLOCKED.
+- Log execution updates and decisions in the sprint file.

+# Sprint 20260113_001_000 - Index - Binary Diff Attestation
 
-## Executive Summary
+## Topic & Scope
+- Deliver ELF section hash extraction and binary diff attestations to close the genuine gaps from the OCI layer-level integrity advisory.
+- Coordinate Scanner, Attestor, CLI, and Docs sprints for deterministic evidence and DSSE-signed outputs.
+- Keep scope ELF-only for the initial release; defer PE and Mach-O to a later milestone.
+- **Working directory:** `docs/implplan`.
 
+### Executive Summary
 This sprint batch implements **targeted enhancements** for binary-level image integrity verification, focusing on ELF section-level hashing for vendor backport detection and DSSE-signed attestations for binary diffs. This addresses the genuine gaps identified in the OCI Layer-Level Image Integrity advisory analysis while avoiding redundant work on already-implemented capabilities.
 
 **Scope:** ELF-only (PE/Mach-O deferred to M2+)
 **Effort Estimate:** 5-7 story points across 4 sprints
 **Priority:** Medium (enhancement, not blocking)

-## Executive Summary
+## Topic & Scope
+- Implement automatic linking between VEX exploitability decisions and DSSE binary-diff evidence bundles.
+- Extend Excititor and CLI output to surface evidence URIs and metadata in CycloneDX VEX.
+- Complete the evidence chain from binary diff attestations to VEX analysis details.
+- **Working directory:** `docs/implplan`.
 
+### Executive Summary
 This sprint batch implements **automatic linking** between VEX exploitability status and DSSE binary-diff evidence bundles. When a binary analysis determines a vulnerability is "not_affected" due to a vendor backport, the system automatically links the VEX assertion to the cryptographic evidence that proves the claim.
 
 **Scope:** VEX-to-evidence linking for binary-diff attestations
 **Effort Estimate:** 3-4 story points across 2 sprints
 **Priority:** Medium (completes evidence chain)

 ## Decisions & Risks
-
 - **APPROVED 2026-01-13**: Evidence stored as URI references, not embedded content.
 - **APPROVED 2026-01-13**: Use CycloneDX `properties[]` for Stella-specific evidence metadata.
 - **RISK**: CycloneDX `analysis.detail` has length limits; use URI not full content.

+# Controlled Conversational Interface for Stella Ops
+
+**Status:** ANALYZED - Sprints Created
+**Date:** 2026-01-13
+**Type:** Product Advisory (Advisory AI / Assistant)
+
+## Executive Summary
+- Provide an "Ask Stella" conversational interface that is evidence-first and policy-gated.
+- Enforce guardrails: no secret exfiltration, token and rate budgets, audited actions.
+- Keep offline parity: local models, deterministic citations, no external calls.
+
+## New Topics vs Existing Work
+- Chat Gateway with quotas, scrubber, and policy checks before tool use.
+- Sanctioned tool registry (read-only default) with explicit confirmation for actions.
+- Immutable audit log of prompts, redactions, tool calls, and model fingerprints.
+- CLI parity: `stella advise "<question>" --evidence --no-action`.
+- Policy lattice for tool permissions and action approvals.
+
+## Safe Default Architecture
+- **Chat Gateway (API):** Authority auth, quotas (user/org), scrubber, policy check, action confirmation.
+- **Local LLM Orchestrator:** tool schema only, no free-form shell, deterministic defaults.
+- **Sanctioned Plugins:** read-only by default; action tools require confirmation + policy allow.
+- **Audit Log:** Postgres system of record; optional DSSE signatures; Valkey for ephemeral cache.
+
+## Minimal Plugin Surface (v1)
+- Read-only tools: `vex.query`, `sbom.read`, `scanner.findings.topk`.
+- Explain tools: `explain.finding`, `prioritize`, `suggest.fix` (no execution).
+- Action tools (opt-in): `scanner.rescan`, `orchestrator.create.ticket` (require confirmation + policy allow).
+
+## Policy and Safety Requirements
+- No secrets ever: vault metadata only, scrubber strips tokens/keys/ASN, entropy filter, allowlist.
+- Budgets: tokens, requests/min, tool invocations/day per user/org.
+- Tool least-privilege: separate roles per plugin, read vs write paths.
+- Offline-ready: local models only; no external calls.
+- Deterministic windows: low temperature for factual responses; narrow expansions for drafts.
+
+## Data Contracts (Sketch)
+- Tool I/O is JSON with stable schemas.
+- Each tool result includes `object_ref`, `hash`, and `evidence[]`.
+
+Example tool response:
+```json
+{
+  "tool": "vex.query",
+  "object_ref": "vex:issuer:sha256:abc123",
+  "hash": "sha256:deadbeef...",
+  "evidence": [
+    { "type": "vex", "ref": "vex:issuer:sha256:abc123" }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Example Flow (Why a CVE still appears)
+1. Gateway scrubs input -> orchestrator calls `vex.query`, `sbom.read`, `reachability.graph.query`.
+2. Policy check allows read-only tools.
+3. Response cites evidence (attestation, diff sig, VEX status, reachability).
+
+## First Cut (1 Week)
+1. Gateway: auth, quotas, scrubber, audit log.
+2. Orchestrator: three read-only plugins (`vex.query`, `sbom.read`, `scanner.findings.topk`).
+3. Advisor UI panel with citations; CLI `stella advise` (no action by default).
+4. Policy v0: deny all actions; allow read-only tools in a sample namespace.
+5. One curated intent: "Explain why this CVE still appears" with evidence chain.
+
+## Defaults to Apply
+- Hybrid reachability posture (graph DSSE required; edge-bundle DSSE optional).
+- Deterministic outputs only.
+- Offline-friendly operation with frozen feeds.
+
+## De-duplication
+Extends (not supersedes):
+- `docs-archived/product/advisories/26-Dec-2025 - AI Assistant as Proof-Carrying Evidence Engine.md`
+- `docs-archived/product/advisories/30-Dec-2025 - Evidence-Gated AI Explanations.md`
+- `docs-archived/product/advisories/26-Dec-2025 - AI Surfacing UX Patterns.md`
+
+Overlap: evidence-grounded outputs, UI patterns. New content: chat gateway quotas, tool sanctions, audit log schema, CLI parity, policy lattice for tool access.

+# Advisory - Release Orchestrator Doctor Self Service
+
+**Date:** 2026-01-13
+**Status:** Draft
+**Scope:** Release Orchestrator, Doctor CLI/UI, Integration Hub
+**Supersedes/Extends:** None
+
+## Summary
+- Doctor is a self-service diagnostics runner for integrations and modules.
+- Auto-discover what is installed, run deterministic checks, explain failures, and print exact fix commands.
+- Output includes JSONL evidence logs and an optional DSSE signed summary for audits.
+
+## Goals
+- Auto-discover checks via installed packs and plugins.
+- Deterministic results with explicit evidence and root causes.
+- CLI-first remediation; UI mirrors commands verbatim.
+- Offline friendly by default (local JSONL; outbound telemetry opt-in only).
+
+## Extension Points
+
+### Core
+- Doctor runner: CLI `stella doctor run` and UI "Doctor" panel.
+- Evidence log: JSONL report plus DSSE summary.
+- Remediation printer: `how_to_fix.commands[]` for every check.
+
+### SCM (GitLab/GitHub/Gitea)
+- Webhook reachability, secret token, event list (push/tag/release).
+- Branch policies: protected branches, required reviews/status checks.
+- PAT/OIDC auth scopes: verify least-privilege tokens.
+- Repo access: bot user/CI user has required permissions.
+
+### Registry + SBOM Ingestion
+- OCI endpoints reachable; auth works (robot accounts supported).
+- Push/pull for test artifact; verify manifest + attestation (Rekor mirror if present).
+- SBOM/VEX ingestion path working (CycloneDX/SPDX sample accept).
+
+### Secrets/Vault
+- Vault URL/TLS/PKI valid; AppRole/JWT/OIDC login succeeds.
+- KV engine mounted and policy grants read/list where expected.
+- Expiring secrets alert (Doctor warns and prints rotation command).
+
+### LDAP / Authority
+- Bind works (SASL/StartTLS/LDAPS); search base + filter validated.
+- Attribute mapping sanity (uid/email/groups to roles).
+- Test user roundtrip: resolve -> login -> role computed.
+
+### Migrations
+- Pending DB migrations detected; simulate -> apply dry-run hash.
+- Rollback path available; print safe apply order for multi-service stacks.
+
+### Policy Engine / Gates
+- Sample policy pack loads; failing sample emits deterministic proof.
+- Gate wiring: pre-deploy blocks on criticals; override requires reason + signature.
+
+### Telemetry (Optional, Air-Gap Safe)
+- Local JSONL only by default; outbound disabled unless opted in.
+
+## Declarative Doctor Packs
+Doctor packs can be declared as YAML manifests and executed by the CLI or service.
+- Location: `plugins/doctor/*.yaml`
+- Discovery: `spec.discovery.when` uses env or file checks.
+- Check execution: `run.exec`, `parse.expect`, `parse.expectJson`.
+- Remediation: `how_to_fix.commands[]` printed verbatim.
+
+Sample manifest:
+- `docs/benchmarks/doctor/doctor-plugin-release-orchestrator-gitlab.yaml`
+
+Short snippet:
+```yaml
+apiVersion: stella.ops/doctor.v1
+kind: DoctorPlugin
+metadata:
+  name: doctor-release-orchestrator-gitlab
+spec:
+  discovery:
+    when:
+      - env: GITLAB_URL
+```
+
+## CLI Scaffolding (Stable Names)
+```bash
+# Run all checks for orchestrator integrations
+stella doctor run --pack orchestrator --format table
+
+# Run GitLab pack, JSON for agents
+stella doctor run --plugin doctor-release-orchestrator-gitlab --format json > out.json
+
+# Execute proposed fixes interactively (dry-run by default)
+stella doctor fix --from out.json --apply
+```
+
+## UI Contract
+- Doctor page lists packs -> plugins -> checks.
+- Each check shows status, evidence, Copy Fix Commands, and Run Fix (guarded by `doctor.fix.enabled=true`).
+- Export: Download DSSE Report and Download JSON.
+
+## Open TODOs
+- Add `plugins/doctor/*.yaml` for GitLab, GitHub, Gitea, Harbor/OCI, Vault, LDAP.
+- Implement `stella doctor run|fix` with the `parse.expect/expectJson` contract.
+- Wire UI to read the same JSON schema and render commands verbatim.
+- Ship two sample SBOMs (CycloneDX 1.6 + SPDX 3.0.1) under `samples/`.

+Future multi-format support (PE, Mach-O) will introduce format detection and
+dedicated extractors similar to the ELF interface above.

 ## Adding a New Binary Format
 
+The current implementation is ELF-only. The steps below describe the intended
+shape for adding PE or Mach-O support; adjust interfaces as they are introduced.

+# Image Inspection Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+`stella image inspect` resolves an OCI image reference, enumerates platform manifests, and lists layers. Use it to confirm what is deployed where and to feed downstream verification workflows.
+
+## Basic usage
+
+```bash
+stella image inspect nginx:latest
+```
+
+## JSON output for automation
+
+```bash
+stella image inspect nginx:latest --output json > image-inspect.json
+```
+
+## Platform filter
+
+```bash
+stella image inspect nginx:latest --platform linux/amd64
+```
+
+## Private registry (HTTP)
+
+For local registries that use HTTP, include the scheme in the reference:
+
+```bash
+stella image inspect http://localhost:5000/myapp:1.0.0
+```
+
+If you need registry auth, configure the `OciRegistry` section in your CLI config (see `docs/modules/scanner/image-inspection.md`).
+
+## CI usage example
+
+```bash
+stella image inspect ghcr.io/org/app:1.2.3 --output json \
+  | jq '.platforms[] | { os: .os, arch: .architecture, layers: (.layers | length) }'
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Authentication required
+- Symptom: `Authentication required` error.
+- Fix: configure `OciRegistry.Auth` in your CLI config or use a registry that allows anonymous pulls.
+
+### Rate limits
+- Symptom: HTTP 429 or warnings about rate limits.
+- Fix: retry later, use authenticated credentials, or mirror to a private registry.
+
+### Unsupported media types
+- Symptom: warnings about unknown manifest media types.
+- Fix: confirm the registry serves OCI or Docker v2 manifests, and ensure the image reference is correct.

-# Sprint Batch 20260113_004 - Golden Pairs Pilot (Vendor Backport Corpus)
+# Sprint 20260113_004_000 - Index - Golden Pairs Pilot
 
-## Executive Summary
+## Topic & Scope
+- Build the curated golden pairs dataset infrastructure to validate binary diff accuracy against real backports.
+- Define data models, mirroring pipeline, and a three-CVE pilot corpus for regression testing.
+- Align Tools implementation with the Scanner binary diff features for deterministic validation.
+- **Working directory:** `docs/implplan`.
 
+### Executive Summary
 This sprint batch implements a **curated dataset infrastructure** for binary patch verification. "Golden pairs" are matched sets of stock (upstream) vs vendor-patched binaries tied to specific CVEs, enabling validation of the binary diff system's ability to detect vendor backports.
 
 **Scope:** Pilot corpus with 3 CVEs (Dirty Pipe, sudo Baron Samedit, PrintNightmare)
 **Effort Estimate:** 5-6 story points across 3 sprints
 **Priority:** Medium (validation infrastructure)

 - **APPROVED 2026-01-13**: Focus on ELF first; PE support conditional on Batch 001 progress.
 - **APPROVED 2026-01-13**: Store binaries in datasets/, not in git LFS initially.
 - **RISK**: Kernel binaries are large; consider extracting specific .ko modules instead.

+| 2026-01-13 | Marked remaining AdvisoryAI tasks blocked to avoid conflicting parallel changes; pending ownership handoff. | AdvisoryAI |
+| 2026-01-13 | Fixed chat endpoint binding/auth/streaming (AIAI-CHAT-ENDPOINTS-0002); tests run with `dotnet test --no-build` due to external build failure in `src/Router/__Libraries/StellaOps.Microservice/ServiceCollectionExtensions.cs`. | AdvisoryAI |

+| 2026-01-13 | Reaffirmed UI/CLI settings overrides (env defaults) and doctor action expectations in assistant-parameters guidance. | AdvisoryAI |
+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- Decision: Use existing conversation storage and chat endpoints as the base; extend with Chat Gateway controls.
+- Decision: Guardrail and audit expectations are captured in `docs/modules/advisory-ai/chat-interface.md` and `docs/security/assistant-guardrails.md`.
+- Decision: Quotas and tool allowlists are configurable via UI/CLI settings with env defaults.
+- Decision: Chat endpoints accept scopes or role headers (`chat:user`, `chat:admin`) for authorization.
+- Risk: Tool schemas may shift across modules; require a shared contract before enabling more tools.
+- Risk: Settings persistence needs Postgres-backed store; in-memory defaults are not durable.
+- Risk: Audit log storage growth; define retention windows and offline export procedures.
+- Risk: Full build previously failed due to duplicate using in `src/Router/__Libraries/StellaOps.Microservice/ServiceCollectionExtensions.cs`; resolved locally, re-run baseline builds as needed.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- API schema review for tool invocation and audit log payloads.
+- Guardrail test vectors approved by Security Guild.
+- Demo: read-only advisor flow with citations.

+
+## Decisions & Risks
+- Decision: UI and CLI must expose fix actions; CLI uses `stella doctor fix` and UI mirrors commands. See `docs/doctor/doctor-capabilities.md` and `docs/doctor/cli-reference.md`.
+- Decision: Remediation UX should favor concise copy/paste commands; `how_to_fix` is the agent-facing alias of `remediation`. See `docs/doctor/doctor-capabilities.md` and `docs/modules/release-orchestrator/modules/integration-hub.md`.
+- Decision: Doctor fix executes only non-destructive commands; destructive steps are manual and never executed by Doctor. See `docs/doctor/doctor-capabilities.md`.
+- Decision: DSSE summaries include `doctor_command` and assume operator execution. See `docs/doctor/doctor-capabilities.md` and `docs/modules/release-orchestrator/modules/integration-hub.md`.
+- Risk: Pack execution safety. YAML packs execute CLI commands and must be sandboxed/allowlisted to avoid unsafe actions.
+- Risk: DSSE signing flow. Define signer/key ownership and offline key distribution for Doctor summary artifacts.
+- BLOCKED: UI/Release Orchestrator tasks paused to avoid conflicts with parallel work in those modules.
+
+## Next Checkpoints
+- 2026-01-20: Design review for pack schema, CLI contract, and UI wiring.
+- 2026-01-27: Prototype demo with JSONL evidence log and fix command rendering.

 - **Remote inference toggle.** Set `AdvisoryAI:Inference:Mode` (env: `ADVISORYAI__AdvisoryAI__Inference__Mode`) to `Remote` when you want prompts to be executed by an external inference tier. Provide `AdvisoryAI:Inference:Remote:BaseAddress` and, optionally, `...:ApiKey`. When remote calls fail the executor falls back to the sanitized prompt and sets `inference.fallback_*` metadata so CLI/Console surface a warning.
 - **Scalability.** Start with 1 web replica + 1 worker for up to ~10 requests/minute. For higher throughput, scale `advisory-ai-worker` horizontally; each worker is CPU-bound (2 vCPU / 4 GiB RAM recommended) while the web front end is I/O-bound (1 vCPU / 1 GiB). Because the queue/plan/output stores are content-addressed files, ensure the shared volume delivers ≥500 IOPS and <5 ms latency; otherwise queue depth will lag.
 - **Offline & air-gapped stance.** The Compose/Helm manifests avoid external network calls by default and the Offline Kit now publishes the `advisory-ai-web` and `advisory-ai-worker` images alongside their SBOMs/provenance. Operators can rehydrate the RWX volume from the kit to pre-prime cache directories before enabling the service.

+# Assistant Tool Lattice Policy Mapping
+
+This guide defines the tool lattice rule schema and default scope mapping for assistant tool calls.
+The lattice is evaluated by Policy Gateway and returns allow or deny decisions for each tool request.
+
+## Default deny behavior
+- If no rule matches a tool request, the decision is deny.
+- A rule must match tool name, action, and any configured tenant, role, scope, or resource filters to allow access.
+
+## Rule fields
+- tool: Tool name or wildcard pattern (for example, "vex.query" or "scanner.*").
+- action: Read or action discriminator (for example, "read" or "action").
+- scopes: Required Authority scopes (one or more).
+- roles: Optional role filters (one or more).
+- tenants: Optional tenant filters (one or more).
+- resource: Optional resource pattern (for example, "sbom:component:*").
+- effect: allow or deny.
+- priority: Integer priority; higher values evaluate first.
+
+## Default scope mapping
+| Tool | Action | Required scopes |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| vex.query | read | vex:read |
+| sbom.read | read | sbom:read |
+| scanner.findings.topk | read | scanner:read or findings:read |
+
+## Override guidance
+- Use priority to override default rules.
+- Keep rules deterministic by using stable patterns and avoiding ambiguous overlaps.

+# OCI Image Inspection
+
+## Overview
+
+OCI image inspection resolves an image reference to its manifest or index, enumerates platform manifests, and returns ordered layer metadata. The inspector is used by CLI workflows that need deterministic image metadata without pulling layers.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Components
+
+| Component | Location | Responsibility |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `IOciImageInspector` | `Scanner.Storage.Oci` | Public interface for image inspection |
+| `OciImageInspector` | `Scanner.Storage.Oci` | Implements manifest/index resolution, auth flow, and ordering |
+| `ImageInspectionResult` | `Scanner.Contracts` | Output model for index, platform, and layer data |
+
+### Data flow
+
+1. Parse the image reference into registry, repository, tag or digest.
+2. HEAD the manifest to obtain media type and digest.
+3. GET the manifest payload.
+4. If media type is index, enumerate platform manifests and optionally resolve each manifest.
+5. For each manifest, fetch config (for platform metadata) and list layers in manifest order.
+6. Return ordered results with warnings and a deterministic inspection timestamp.
+
+## Media type support
+
+| Media type | Type | Handling |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `application/vnd.oci.image.index.v1+json` | OCI index | Parse as index and enumerate manifests |
+| `application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.list.v2+json` | Docker list | Parse as index |
+| `application/vnd.oci.image.manifest.v1+json` | OCI manifest | Parse as manifest |
+| `application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json` | Docker manifest | Parse as manifest |
+
+## Configuration
+
+The inspector uses `OciRegistryOptions`:
+
+| Field | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| `DefaultRegistry` | Registry to use when no registry is specified |
+| `AllowInsecure` | Allow HTTP and insecure TLS for registry calls |
+| `Auth.Username` / `Auth.Password` | Basic auth credentials |
+| `Auth.Token` | Bearer token |
+| `Auth.AllowAnonymousFallback` | Allow retry without auth after 401 |
+
+CLI configuration binding uses the `OciRegistry` section (example):
+
+```json
+{
+  "OciRegistry": {
+    "DefaultRegistry": "docker.io",
+    "AllowInsecure": false,
+    "Auth": {
+      "Username": "registry-user",
+      "Password": "registry-pass",
+      "AllowAnonymousFallback": true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Output model
+
+`ImageInspectionResult` returns:
+
+- Resolved digest and media type
+- Multi-arch indicator
+- Ordered platform manifests (os, arch, variant)
+- Ordered layer list with size and media type
+- UTC inspection timestamp from `TimeProvider`
+- Deterministic, sorted warnings
+
+## Determinism
+
+- Platforms sorted by `os`, `architecture`, `variant`.
+- Layers preserve manifest order (0-indexed).
+- Warnings sorted lexicographically and de-duplicated.
+- Timestamps come from injected `TimeProvider`.
+
+## Integration points
+
+- CLI: `stella image inspect` consumes the inspector result for table and JSON output.
+- Scanner services can reuse the inspector for registry resolution without pulling layers.

+
+---
+
+## 5. Multi-Connector Model
+
+### 5.1 Connector Categories
+
+Each integration category supports multiple instances:
+
+| Category | Max Instances | Use Case |
+|----------|---------------|----------|
+| **Vault** | 5 | Separate vaults per environment |
+| **Settings Store** | 5 | Config from Azure App Config + feature flags from Consul |
+| **SCM** | 10 | GitHub + GitLab + internal Gitea |
+| **Registry** | 10 | ECR + Harbor + internal registry |
+| **Notifications** | 20 | Slack per team + email + PagerDuty |
+
+### 5.2 Default Connector Selection
+
+The wizard suggests a default connector based on:
+
+1. **Environment Detection:**
+   - `VAULT_ADDR` -> HashiCorp Vault
+   - `CONSUL_HTTP_ADDR` -> Consul KV
+   - `ETCD_ENDPOINTS` -> etcd
+   - Azure IMDS -> Azure Key Vault / Azure App Configuration
+   - AWS metadata -> AWS Secrets Manager / AWS Parameter Store
+   - `GITHUB_TOKEN` -> GitHub
+   - `GITLAB_TOKEN` -> GitLab
+
+2. **Configuration Files:**
+   - Existing `etc/*.yaml` samples
+   - Docker Compose environment files
+
+3. **Repository Defaults:**
+   - Harbor (most commonly used registry)
+   - Slack (most common notification)
+
+### 5.3 Last Selected Connector Persistence
+
+The wizard stores user preferences in the settings store:
+
+```json
+{
+  "setupWizard": {
+    "lastConnectors": {
+      "vault": "hashicorp-vault",
+      "settingsstore": "consul-kv",
+      "scm": "github-app",
+      "registry": "harbor",
+      "notifications": "slack"
+    },
+    "completedAt": "2026-01-13T10:30:00Z",
+    "skippedSteps": ["identity", "feeds"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. Resume/Re-run Behavior
+
+### 6.1 Idempotency Requirements
+
+All steps must be safe to re-run:
+
+| Step | Re-run Behavior |
+|------|-----------------|
+| `database` | Verify connection; no changes if already configured |
+| `migrations` | Skip already-applied; apply only pending |
+| `admin` | Skip if admin exists; offer password reset |
+| `vault` | Add new integration; don't duplicate |
+| `settingsstore` | Add new integration; don't duplicate |
+| `scm` | Add new integration; don't duplicate |
+
+### 6.2 Configuration Pane Access
+
+After initial setup, the wizard is available from:
+- **CLI:** `stella setup --reconfigure`
+- **UI:** Settings > Configuration Wizard
+
+Pre-populated with:
+- Current configuration values
+- Last selected connector per category
+- Health status from Doctor checks
+
+---
+
+## 7. Security Posture
+
+### 7.1 Secret Storage
+
+| Secret Type | Storage Location |
+|-------------|------------------|
+| Database password | Vault (if configured) or local keyring |
+| Valkey password | Vault (if configured) or local keyring |
+| API tokens | Vault integration |
+| Private keys | File system with 0600 permissions |
+
+### 7.2 Redaction Rules
+
+The wizard must never display:
+- Full passwords
+- API tokens
+- Private key contents
+- Vault tokens
+
+Display format for sensitive fields:
+- Masked: `********`
+- Partial: `ghp_****1234` (first 4 + last 4)
+
+### 7.3 Audit Trail
+
+All wizard actions are logged to:
+- Timeline service with HLC timestamps
+- Authority audit log for admin operations
+- Doctor run history for check results
+
+---
+
+## 8. Error Handling
+
+### 8.1 Validation Errors
+
+| Error Type | Behavior |
+|------------|----------|
+| Invalid input | Inline error message; prevent progression |
+| Connection failure | Show error; offer retry with different params |
+| Permission denied | Show required permissions; offer skip (if skippable) |
+| Timeout | Show timeout; offer retry with increased timeout |
+
+### 8.2 Partial Completion
+
+If wizard exits mid-flow:
+- Completed steps are persisted
+- Resume shows current state
+- Doctor checks identify incomplete setup
+
+---
+
+## 9. Exit Criteria
+
+### 9.1 Successful Completion
+
+The wizard completes successfully when:
+- All required steps pass Doctor checks
+- User has explicitly skipped or completed all steps
+- Operational threshold is met
+
+### 9.2 Completion Actions
+
+On completion:
+1. Run full Doctor diagnostic
+2. Generate setup report (Markdown)
+3. Emit `setup.completed` timeline event
+4. Clear first-run flag
+5. Redirect to dashboard (UI) or exit with success (CLI)

+# Setup Wizard - Doctor Integration Contract
+
+This document defines how the Setup Wizard integrates with the Doctor diagnostic system to validate each step and provide actionable remediation guidance.
+
+## 1. Overview
+
+The Setup Wizard relies on Doctor checks to:
+1. **Validate** each configuration step
+2. **Detect** existing configuration (for resume/reconfigure)
+3. **Generate** runtime-specific fix commands
+4. **Verify** that fixes were applied correctly
+
+---
+
+## 2. Step-to-Check Mapping
+

+
+---
+
+## 3. Check Output Model
+
+### 3.1 CheckResult Schema
+
+```csharp
+public sealed record CheckResult
+{
+    public required string CheckId { get; init; }
+    public required CheckStatus Status { get; init; }  // Pass, Warn, Fail
+    public required string Message { get; init; }
+    public required TimeSpan Duration { get; init; }
+    public ImmutableDictionary<string, object> Evidence { get; init; }
+    public ImmutableArray<LikelyCause> LikelyCauses { get; init; }
+    public ImmutableArray<RemediationCommand> Remediations { get; init; }
+    public string? VerificationCommand { get; init; }
+}
+
+public enum CheckStatus { Pass, Warn, Fail }
+
+public sealed record LikelyCause
+{
+    public required int Priority { get; init; }  // 1 = most likely
+    public required string Description { get; init; }
+    public string? DocumentationUrl { get; init; }
+}
+
+public sealed record RemediationCommand
+{
+    public required RuntimeEnvironment Runtime { get; init; }
+    public required string Command { get; init; }
+    public required string Description { get; init; }
+    public bool RequiresSudo { get; init; }
+    public bool IsDangerous { get; init; }  // Requires confirmation
+    public ImmutableDictionary<string, string> Placeholders { get; init; }
+}
+
+public enum RuntimeEnvironment
+{
+    DockerCompose,
+    Kubernetes,
+    Systemd,
+    WindowsService,
+    Bare,
+    Any
+}
+```
+
+### 3.2 Evidence Dictionary
+
+The `Evidence` dictionary contains check-specific data:
+
+| Check Category | Evidence Keys |
+|----------------|---------------|
+| **Database** | `host`, `port`, `database`, `version`, `user`, `sslMode` |
+| **Valkey** | `host`, `port`, `version`, `usedMemory`, `maxMemory` |
+| **Migrations** | `pendingCount`, `appliedCount`, `lastMigration`, `failedMigrations` |
+| **Auth** | `adminCount`, `adminUsername`, `passwordLastChanged` |
+| **Vault** | `provider`, `version`, `mountPoints`, `authMethod` |
+| **SCM** | `provider`, `rateLimit`, `remainingCalls`, `organization` |
+
+---
+
+## 4. Remediation Command Generation
+
+### 4.1 Runtime Detection
+
+The wizard detects the runtime environment via:
+
+```csharp
+public interface IRuntimeDetector
+{
+    RuntimeEnvironment Detect();
+    bool IsDockerAvailable();
+    bool IsKubernetesContext();
+    bool IsSystemdManaged(string serviceName);
+    string GetComposeProjectPath();
+    string GetKubernetesNamespace();
+}
+```
+
+Detection logic:
+1. Check for `/.dockerenv` file → Docker container
+2. Check for `KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST` → Kubernetes
+3. Check for `docker compose` command → Docker Compose
+4. Check for `systemctl` command → systemd
+5. Check for Windows services → Windows Service
+6. Default → Bare (manual)
+
+### 4.2 Command Templates
+

+
+  verificationCommand: "vault token lookup"
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. Placeholder Resolution
+
+### 5.1 Placeholder Sources
+
+Placeholders in commands are resolved from:
+
+| Source | Priority | Example |
+|--------|----------|---------|
+| User input | 1 (highest) | `{{HOST}}` from form field |
+| Environment | 2 | `{{VAULT_ADDR}}` from env |
+| Detection | 3 | `{{NAMESPACE}}` from context |
+| Default | 4 (lowest) | Fallback value |
+
+### 5.2 Placeholder Syntax
+
+```
+{{PLACEHOLDER_NAME}}
+{{PLACEHOLDER_NAME:-default_value}}
+```
+
+Examples:
+- `{{HOST}}` - Required placeholder
+- `{{PORT:-5432}}` - Optional with default
+- `{{COMPOSE_FILE:-docker-compose.yml}}` - File path default
+
+### 5.3 Secret Redaction
+
+Commands containing secrets are never displayed with actual values:
+
+| Placeholder | Display | Actual |
+|-------------|---------|--------|
+| `{{PASSWORD}}` | `{{PASSWORD}}` | Never resolved in display |
+| `{{TOKEN}}` | `{{TOKEN}}` | Never resolved in display |
+| `{{SECRET_KEY}}` | `{{SECRET_KEY}}` | Never resolved in display |
+
+The user must copy and manually substitute secrets.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Verification Flow
+
+### 6.1 Post-Fix Verification
+
+After the user applies a fix, the wizard:
+
+1. **Wait** - Pause for user confirmation ("I've run this command")
+2. **Verify** - Run the verification command
+3. **Re-check** - Run the original Doctor check
+4. **Report** - Show success or next steps
+
+### 6.2 Verification Command Execution
+
+```csharp
+public interface IVerificationExecutor
+{
+    Task<VerificationResult> ExecuteAsync(
+        string command,
+        TimeSpan timeout,
+        CancellationToken ct);
+}
+
+public sealed record VerificationResult
+{
+    public required bool Success { get; init; }
+    public required int ExitCode { get; init; }
+    public required string Output { get; init; }
+    public required TimeSpan Duration { get; init; }
+}
+```
+
+### 6.3 Re-Check Behavior
+
+```
+[FAIL] check.database.connectivity
+
+Suggested fix applied. Verifying...
+
+[RUN] pg_isready -h localhost -p 5432
+      localhost:5432 - accepting connections
+
+Re-running check...
+
+[PASS] check.database.connectivity
+       PostgreSQL connection successful
+```
+
+---
+
+## 7. Check Aggregation
+
+### 7.1 Step Completion Criteria
+
+A step is complete when:
+- All **Critical** checks pass
+- No **Fail** status on any check
+- User has acknowledged all **Warning** checks
+
+### 7.2 Aggregated Status
+
+```csharp
+public enum StepValidationStatus
+{
+    NotStarted,      // No checks run
+    InProgress,      // Checks running
+    Passed,          // All critical pass, no failures
+    PassedWithWarns, // All critical pass, some warnings
+    Failed,          // Any critical failure
+    Skipped          // User explicitly skipped
+}
+```
+
+### 7.3 Status Rollup for Thresholds
+
+```
+Operational Threshold:
+  [x] check.database.connectivity         PASS
+  [x] check.database.permissions          PASS
+  [x] check.database.migrations.applied   PASS
+  [x] check.services.valkey.connectivity  PASS
+  [x] check.auth.admin.exists             PASS
+  [x] check.crypto.profile.valid          PASS
+
+  Status: OPERATIONAL (6/6 required checks passed)
+
+Production-Ready Threshold:
+  [x] check.security.identity.configured  PASS
+  [x] check.integration.vault.connected   PASS
+  [x] check.integration.scm.connected     PASS
+  [x] check.notify.channel.configured     PASS
+  [ ] check.orchestrator.agent.healthy    SKIP
+  [ ] check.feeds.sync.enabled            SKIP
+
+  Status: NOT PRODUCTION-READY (4/6 recommended, 2 skipped)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 8. Doctor Engine Integration
+
+### 8.1 Wizard-Specific Check Context
+
+The wizard provides context to Doctor checks:
+
+```csharp
+public sealed record WizardCheckContext
+{
+    public required string StepId { get; init; }
+    public required RuntimeEnvironment DetectedRuntime { get; init; }
+    public required ImmutableDictionary<string, string> UserInputs { get; init; }
+    public bool GenerateRemediations { get; init; } = true;
+    public bool IncludePlaceholders { get; init; } = true;
+}
+```
+
+### 8.2 Check Invocation
+
+```csharp
+public interface IWizardDoctorClient
+{
+    Task<ImmutableArray<CheckResult>> RunStepChecksAsync(
+        string stepId,
+        WizardCheckContext context,
+        CancellationToken ct);
+
+    Task<CheckResult> RunSingleCheckAsync(
+        string checkId,
+        WizardCheckContext context,
+        CancellationToken ct);
+
+    Task<VerificationResult> RunVerificationAsync(
+        string command,
+        WizardCheckContext context,
+        CancellationToken ct);
+}
+```
+
+### 8.3 Check Timeout
+
+| Check Category | Default Timeout | Max Timeout |
+|----------------|-----------------|-------------|
+| Connectivity | 10 seconds | 30 seconds |
+| Authentication | 15 seconds | 60 seconds |
+| Migrations | 60 seconds | 300 seconds |
+| Full validation | 30 seconds | 120 seconds |
+
+---
+
+## 9. Remediation Safety
+
+### 9.1 Dangerous Commands
+
+Commands marked `isDangerous: true` require user confirmation:
+
+```
+WARNING: This command will modify your database schema.
+
+Command:
+  stella migrations-run --module all
+
+This action:
+  - Applies 5 pending migrations
+  - Cannot be automatically rolled back
+  - May take several minutes
+
+Type 'apply' to confirm: _
+```
+
+### 9.2 Sudo Requirements
+
+Commands requiring `sudo` show a notice:
+
+```
+This command requires administrator privileges.
+
+Command:
+  sudo systemctl start postgresql
+
+[Copy Command]
+
+Note: You may be prompted for your password.
+```
+
+### 9.3 Secret Substitution Notice
+
+```
+This command contains placeholders for sensitive values.
+
+Command:
+  vault write auth/approle/login role_id={{ROLE_ID}} secret_id={{SECRET_ID}}
+
+Before running:
+  1. Replace {{ROLE_ID}} with your AppRole Role ID
+  2. Replace {{SECRET_ID}} with your AppRole Secret ID
+
+[Copy Command]
+```
+
+---
+
+## 10. Check Plugin Requirements
+
+### 10.1 New Checks for Setup Wizard
+
+The following checks may need to be added to existing plugins:
+
+| Plugin | New Check ID | Purpose |
+|--------|--------------|---------|
+| Core | `check.auth.admin.exists` | Verify admin user exists |
+| Core | `check.auth.password.policy` | Verify password complexity |
+| Core | `check.crypto.signing.test` | Test signing operation |
+| Database | `check.database.migrations.checksums` | Verify migration integrity |
+| Integration | `check.integration.vault.secrets.access` | Test secret retrieval |
+| Integration | `check.orchestrator.environment.valid` | Validate environment config |
+| Notify | `check.notify.delivery.test` | Test notification delivery |
+
+### 10.2 Check Implementation Contract
+
+Each check must implement:
+
+```csharp
+public interface ISetupWizardAwareCheck : IDoctorCheck

+# Setup Wizard - UX Flow Specification
+
+This document defines the user experience flows for both CLI and UI implementations of the Setup Wizard, ensuring feature parity across surfaces.
+
+## 1. Design Principles
+
+### 1.1 Core UX Goals
+
+1. **Self-serve clarity** - Users should complete setup without reading external documentation
+2. **Progressive disclosure** - Show only relevant options at each step
+3. **Fail-forward** - Guide users through errors with actionable fixes
+4. **Parity** - CLI and UI offer identical capabilities
+5. **Resume-friendly** - Support interruption and resumption
+
+### 1.2 Terminology
+
+| Term | Definition |
+|------|------------|
+| **Step** | A discrete configuration unit (e.g., "Database Setup") |
+| **Check** | A Doctor diagnostic that validates a step |
+| **Fix** | A remediation command generated by Doctor |
+| **Connector** | A specific integration provider (e.g., "HashiCorp Vault") |
+
+---
+
