+- `docs/db/EF_CORE_RUNTIME_CUTOVER_STRATEGY.md`
 
 ## Working Agreements
 - Deterministic outputs (ordering, timestamps, hashing).
 - Offline-friendly; avoid runtime network calls.
 - Note cross-module impacts in the active sprint tracker.
 
+## DAL Technology
+- **EF Core v10** for PostgreSQL artifact index repository (converted from raw Npgsql in Sprint 077).
+- Schema: `evidence` (shared with Evidence.Persistence module).
+- SQL migrations remain authoritative; no EF auto-migrations at runtime.
+- Compiled model used for default schema path; reflection-based model building for non-default schemas.
+- UPSERT operations use `ExecuteSqlRawAsync` for the multi-column ON CONFLICT pattern.
+
+## EF Core Directory Structure
+```
+EfCore/
+  Context/
+    ArtifactDbContext.cs              # Main DbContext
+    ArtifactDesignTimeDbContextFactory.cs  # For dotnet ef CLI
+  Models/
+    ArtifactIndexEntity.cs            # Entity POCO
+  CompiledModels/
+    ArtifactDbContextModel.cs         # Compiled model stub
+Postgres/
+  ArtifactDbContextFactory.cs         # Runtime factory with UseModel()
+```
+
 ## Testing Expectations
 - Add or update unit tests under `src/__Libraries/__Tests`.
 - Run `dotnet test` for affected test projects when changes are made.
-
+- Build sequentially (`-p:BuildInParallel=false` or `--no-dependencies`).

 - Ensure RLS/tenant scoping is enforced on every operation.
 - Track task status in `TASKS.md`.
 
+## DAL Technology
+- **Primary**: EF Core v10 (converted from Npgsql/Dapper in Sprint 078).
+- **Runtime factory**: `EvidenceDbContextFactory` applies compiled model for default schema.
+- **Design-time factory**: `EvidenceDesignTimeDbContextFactory` for `dotnet ef` CLI.
+- **Schema**: `evidence` (single migration: `001_initial_schema.sql`).
+- **Migration registry**: Registered as `EvidenceMigrationModulePlugin` in Platform.Database.
+
 ## Required Reading
 - `docs/modules/platform/architecture-overview.md`
 - `docs/modules/evidence/unified-model.md`
+- `docs/db/EF_CORE_MODEL_GENERATION_STANDARDS.md`
+- `docs/db/EF_CORE_RUNTIME_CUTOVER_STRATEGY.md`
 
 ## Working Agreement
 - 1. Update task status in the sprint file and local `TASKS.md`.
 - 2. Prefer deterministic ordering and stable pagination.
 - 3. Add tests for tenant isolation and migration behavior.
+- 4. EF Core models are scaffolded FROM SQL migrations, never the reverse.
+- 5. No EF Core auto-migrations at runtime.

+## DAL Architecture (EF Core v10)
+
+The Verdict persistence layer follows the EF Core v10 standards documented in `docs/db/EF_CORE_MODEL_GENERATION_STANDARDS.md`:
+
+- **DbContext**: `VerdictDbContext` (partial class, schema-injectable, Fluent API mappings)
+- **Schema**: `stellaops` (shared platform schema)
+- **Design-time factory**: `VerdictDesignTimeDbContextFactory` (for `dotnet ef` CLI)
+- **Runtime factory**: `VerdictDbContextFactory` (compiled model for default schema, reflection for non-default)
+- **DataSource**: `VerdictDataSource` extends `DataSourceBase` for connection pooling and tenant context
+- **Compiled model**: Stub in `EfCore/CompiledModels/`; assembly attributes excluded from compilation
+- **Migration registry**: Registered as `VerdictMigrationModulePlugin` in Platform.Database
+
+### Connection Pattern
+```csharp
+await using var connection = await _dataSource.OpenConnectionAsync(tenantId.ToString(), "reader", ct);
+await using var context = VerdictDbContextFactory.Create(connection, CommandTimeoutSeconds, GetSchemaName());
+// Use context.Verdicts with AsNoTracking() for reads...
+```
+
+### Schema Governance
+- SQL migrations in `Persistence/Migrations/` are the authoritative schema definition
+- EF Core models are derived from schema, not the reverse
+- No EF Core auto-migrations at runtime
+- Schema changes require new SQL migration files
+

 # StellaOps.Verdict Task Board
 This board mirrors active sprint tasks for this module.

+Source of truth: `docs/implplan/SPRINT_20260222_080_Verdict_persistence_dal_to_efcore.md`.
 
 | Task ID | Status | Notes |
 | --- | --- | --- |
+| VERDICT-EF-01 | DONE | AGENTS.md verified and updated; migration registry plugin wired in Platform.Database. |
+| VERDICT-EF-02 | DONE | EF Core model scaffolded: VerdictDbContext with Fluent API, VerdictRow entity, EfCore/Context and EfCore/CompiledModels directories. |
+| VERDICT-EF-03 | DONE | PostgresVerdictStore converted to use VerdictDataSource + VerdictDbContextFactory pattern; inline VerdictDbContext removed. |
+| VERDICT-EF-04 | DONE | Compiled model stubs generated; assembly attributes excluded from compilation; VerdictDbContextFactory uses compiled model for default schema. |
+| VERDICT-EF-05 | DONE | Sequential builds pass (0 warnings, 0 errors); module docs and AGENTS.md updated; sprint tracker updated. |
 | REMED-05 | TODO | Remediation checklist: docs/implplan/audits/csproj-standards/remediation/checklists/src/__Libraries/StellaOps.Verdict/StellaOps.Verdict.md. |
 | REMED-06 | DONE | SOLID review notes captured for SPRINT_20260130_002. |
