# component_architecture_web_ui.md — **Stella Ops Web UI** (2025Q4)
|
||||
|
||||
> **Scope.** Implementation‑ready architecture for the **Angular SPA** that operators and developers use to drive Stella Ops. This document defines UX surfaces, module boundaries, data flows, auth, RBAC, real‑time updates, performance targets, i18n/a11y, security headers, testing and deployment. The UI is a *consumer* of backend APIs (Scanner, Policy, Vexer, Feedser, Attestor, Authority) and never performs scanning, merging, or signing on its own.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 0) Mission & non‑goals
|
||||
|
||||
**Mission.** Provide a **fast, explainable** console for:
|
||||
|
||||
* Scans (status, SBOMs, diffs, EntryTrace, attestation).
|
||||
* Policy management (rules, exemptions, VEX consumption view).
|
||||
* Vulnerability intel (Feedser status), VEX consensus exploration (Vexer).
|
||||
* Runtime posture (Zastava observer + admission).
|
||||
* Admin operations (tenants, tokens, quotas, licensing posture).
|
||||
|
||||
**Non‑goals.** No client‑side crypto signing; no Docker/CRI access; no direct registry access beyond fetching static assets or OCI referrer summaries exposed by backend.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 1) Technology baseline
|
||||
|
||||
* **Framework**: Angular 17+ (Stand‑alone APIs / Signals), TypeScript 5.
|
||||
* **Styling**: Tailwind CSS + headless component patterns; CSS variables for theming.
|
||||
* **Charts**: Lightweight SVG (uPlot or Apache ECharts via on‑demand import).
|
||||
* **State**: Angular **Signals** + `@ngrx/signals` store for cross‑page slices.
|
||||
* **Transport**: `fetch` + RxJS interop; **SSE** (EventSource) for progress streams.
|
||||
* **Build**: Angular CLI + Vite builder.
|
||||
* **Testing**: Jest + Testing Library, Playwright for e2e.
|
||||
* **Packaging**: Containerized NGINX (immutable assets, ETag + content hashing).
|
||||

## 2) High‑level module map
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
/app
|
||||
├─ core/ # bootstrap, config, auth, http, error boundary, i18n
|
||||
├─ shared/ # UI kit (tables, code-viewers, badges), pipes
|
||||
├─ dashboard/ # live tiles, fleet KPIs, feed/vex age, queue depth
|
||||
├─ scans/ # scan list, detail, SBOM viewer, diff-by-layer, EntryTrace
|
||||
├─ runtime/ # Zastava posture, drift events, admission decisions
|
||||
├─ policy/ # rules editor (YAML/Rego), exemptions, previews
|
||||
├─ vex/ # VEX explorer (claims, consensus, conflicts)
|
||||
├─ feedser/ # source health, export cursors, rebuild/export triggers
|
||||
├─ attest/ # attestation proofs, verification bundles, Rekor links
|
||||
├─ admin/ # tenants, roles, clients, quotas, licensing posture
|
||||
└─ plugins/ # route plug-ins (lazy remote modules, governed)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Each feature folder builds as a **standalone route** (lazy loaded). All HTTP shapes live in `core/api/` clients with shared DTOs.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 3) Navigation & key views
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.1 Dashboard
|
||||
|
||||
* **Tiles**: “New criticals (24h)”, “VEX suppressions applied”, “Attested SBOMs (7d)”, “Feed age per provider”, “Scanner queue depth”, “Admission events”.
|
||||
* **Trends**: sparkline for vulns/day, pass/fail rates, attestation throughput.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.2 Scans
|
||||
|
||||
* **Scan list** with status, image digest, repo, time, artifacts, attestation badge.
|
||||
* **Scan detail**:
|
||||
|
||||
* **SBOM viewer**: Inventory/Usage toggle; component table (virtualized), filters by package type, severity, source.
|
||||
* **Diff by layer**: A→B change grid (added/removed/upgraded), grouped by introducing/removing layer; tooltips show provenance and links to layer SBOM fragment.
|
||||
* **EntryTrace**: shell chain with file:line breadcrumbs; jump‑to source viewer (read‑only, hexdump fallback).
|
||||
* **Attestation**: Rekor UUID, index, inclusion proof; **Verify** button calls Attestor `/verify`.
|
||||
* **Export**: download buttons (CycloneDX JSON, Protobuf, SPDX JSON); size shown; SHA‑256 inline.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.3 Runtime (Zastava)
|
||||
|
||||
* **Observer timeline**: container start/stop, drift, policy violations; faceted by namespace/owner.
|
||||
* **Live process view**: top N processes, loaded libs summary vs Usage SBOM.
|
||||
* **Admission decisions**: per‑namespace rules, allow/deny events, cache TTL, reasons.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.4 Policy
|
||||
|
||||
* **Policy bundles**: active vs staged; diff viewer with change summary.
|
||||
* **Editors**:
|
||||
|
||||
* YAML rules (ignore lists, thresholds, vendor precedence overrides).
|
||||
* Rego blocks (advanced gates) with **WASM** preview evaluator (client‑side sandbox) for “preview” against sample SBOMs.
|
||||
* **VEX inclusion controls**: weight sliders (visualization only), provider allow/deny toggles.
|
||||
* **Preview**: select SBOM (or image digest) → show verdict under staged policy.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.5 Vexer
|
||||
|
||||
* **Claims explorer**: search by vulnId/productKey/provider; show raw claim (status, justification, evidence).
|
||||
* **Consensus view**: rollup per (vuln, product) with accepted/rejected sources, weights, timestamps.
|
||||
* **Conflicts**: grid of top conflicts; filters for justification gates failed.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.6 Feedser
|
||||
|
||||
* **Sources** table: staleness, last run, errors.
|
||||
* **Advisory search**: by CVE/alias; show normalized affected ranges.
|
||||
* **Exports**: trigger full/delta JSON/Trivy DB; show manifest digests and Rekor link if attested.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.7 Attest
|
||||
|
||||
* **Proofs list**: last 7 days Rekor entries; filter by kind (sbom/report/vex).
|
||||
* **Verification**: paste UUID or upload bundle → verify; result with explanations (chain, Merkle path).
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.8 Admin
|
||||
|
||||
* **Tenants/Installations**: view/edit, isolation hints.
|
||||
* **Clients & roles**: Authority clients, role→scope mapping, rotation hints.
|
||||
* **Quotas**: per license plan, counters, throttle events.
|
||||
* **Licensing posture**: last PoE introspection snapshot (redacted), release window.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 4) Auth, sessions & RBAC
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.1 OIDC flow
|
||||
|
||||
* **Authorization Code + PKCE** to **Authority**.
|
||||
* **ID Token** for UX identity; **Access Token** (OpTok) for APIs (2–5 min TTL).
|
||||
* **DPoP (browser)**: generate ephemeral **WebCrypto** keypair; store public JWK in memory, private key in **IndexedDB** (non‑exportable if platform allows). Access token includes `cnf.jkt`; each API call adds `DPoP` proof; handle nonce challenges automatically.
|
||||
* **Refresh**: optional DPoP‑bound refresh tokens with rotation; otherwise silent renew.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.2 RBAC
|
||||
|
||||
* Roles (`ui.read`, `ui.admin`, plus service roles) are embedded in ID token or fetched via `/me` endpoint.
|
||||
* **Route guards** enforce access; **feature flags** hide admin pages for non‑admins.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.3 Session storage
|
||||
|
||||
* Access tokens & refresh metadata in memory; persist **only** minimal session (subject, expiries) in `sessionStorage`. Never persist raw JWTs to `localStorage`. Use **SameSite=Lax** cookies for anti‑CSRF if cookies are required (prefer pure bearer headers + DPoP).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 5) HTTP layer & API clients
|
||||
|
||||
* **`core/http/api-client.ts`** centralizes:
|
||||
|
||||
* Base URLs (Scanner, Vexer, Feedser, Attestor).
|
||||
* **Retry** policies on idempotent GETs (backoff + jitter).
|
||||
* **Problem+JSON** parser → uniform error toasts with correlation ID.
|
||||
* **SSE** helper (EventSource) with auto‑reconnect & backpressure.
|
||||
* **DPoP** injector & nonce handling.
|
||||
|
||||
* Typed API clients (DTOs in `core/api/models.ts`):
|
||||
|
||||
* `ScannerApi`, `PolicyApi`, `VexerApi`, `FeedserApi`, `AttestorApi`, `AuthorityApi`.
|
||||
|
||||
**DTO examples (abbrev):**
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
export type ImageDigest = `sha256:${string}`;
|
||||
export interface ScanSummary {
|
||||
imageDigest: ImageDigest; createdAt: string;
|
||||
artifacts: { view: 'inventory'|'usage'; format: 'cdx-json'|'cdx-pb'|'spdx-json'; sha256: string; size: number }[];
|
||||
status: 'queued'|'running'|'completed'|'error';
|
||||
rekor?: { uuid: string; index?: number; url?: string };
|
||||
}
|
||||
export interface DiffEntry {
|
||||
key: string; change: 'added'|'removed'|'upgraded'|'downgraded';
|
||||
fromVersion?: string; toVersion?: string; layer: string; usedByEntrypoint?: boolean;
|
||||
}
|
||||
export interface VexConsensus {
|
||||
vulnId: string; productKey: string; rollupStatus: 'affected'|'not_affected'|'fixed'|'under_investigation';
|
||||
sources: { providerId: string; status: string; weight: number; accepted: boolean; reason: string }[];
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 6) State, caching & real‑time
|
||||
|
||||
* **Per‑page stores** (Signals) for list filters, pagination, and selected entities.
|
||||
* **Normalized caches** keyed by `(imageDigest, view, format)`; artifacts are downloaded via pre‑signed URLs from Scanner and streamed; SHA‑256 verified client‑side before exposing “verified” badge.
|
||||
* **SSE channels**:
|
||||
|
||||
* `/scans/{id}/events` → progress log.
|
||||
* `/runtime/events/stream` (optional) → live drift/admission feed (rate‑limited).
|
||||
* **Cache invalidation** on job completion or explicit “refresh”.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 7) SBOM viewing & diff UX
|
||||
|
||||
* **Huge tables** rendered with **virtual scrolling** (CDK Virtual Scroll); sort/filter performed client‑side for ≤ 20k rows; beyond that, server‑side queries via BOM‑Index endpoints.
|
||||
* **Component row** shows purl, version, origin (OS pkg / metadata / linker / attested), licenses, and **used** badge (Usage view).
|
||||
* **Diff**: compact heatmap per layer; clicking opens a right‑pane with evidence: introducing paths, file hashes, VEX notes (from Vexer consensus) and links to advisories (Feedser).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 8) Policy editor & VEX integration
|
||||
|
||||
* **YAML editor**: Monaco‑based with schema hints; previews show which rules matched.
|
||||
* **Rego editor**: Monaco with WASM‑OPA sandbox for read‑only evaluation on sample SBOMs.
|
||||
* **VEX toggles**: per‑provider enable/disable; “explain” drawer shows why a claim was accepted/rejected (justification gate, signature state, weight).
|
||||
* **Staged → Active** promotion is a two‑step flow with confirmation and automatic policy digest computation.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 9) Accessibility, i18n & theming
|
||||
|
||||
* **A11y**: WCAG 2.2 AA; keyboard navigation, focus management, ARIA roles; color‑contrast tokens verified by unit tests.
|
||||
* **I18n**: Angular i18n + runtime translation loader (`/locales/{lang}.json`); dates/numbers localized via `Intl`.
|
||||
* **Languages**: English default; Bulgarian, German, Japanese as initial additions.
|
||||
* **Theming**: dark/light via CSS variables; persisted in `prefers-color-scheme` aware store.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 10) Performance budgets
|
||||
|
||||
* **TTI** ≤ 1.5 s on 4G/slow CPU (first visit), ≤ 0.6 s repeat (HTTP/2, cached).
|
||||
* **JS** initial < 300 KB gz (lazy routes).
|
||||
* **SBOM list**: render 10k rows in < 70 ms with virtualization; filter in < 150 ms.
|
||||
* **Diff view**: compute client‑side grouping for 5k changes in < 120 ms.
|
||||
|
||||
Techniques: route‑level code splitting; `ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush`; Signals; server compression (zstd/gzip), immutable assets with long max‑age (cache busting via hashes).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 11) Security headers & CSP
|
||||
|
||||
* **CSP**: `default-src 'self'; connect-src 'self' https://*.internal; img-src 'self' data:; script-src 'self'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; frame-ancestors 'none';`
|
||||
* **HSTS** enabled at gateway.
|
||||
* **Referrer Policy**: `no-referrer`.
|
||||
* **X‑Frame‑Options**: `DENY`.
|
||||
* **COOP/COEP** to enable faster cross‑origin isolation (for WASM OPA).
|
||||
* **Subresource Integrity (SRI)** for third‑party fonts (minimize third‑party).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 12) Error handling & UX hygiene
|
||||
|
||||
* **Global error boundary** surfaces Problem+JSON `title/detail/instance` with correlation ID.
|
||||
* **Retry toast** for 429 (quota throttles) with backoff timer.
|
||||
* **Auth expiry**: pre‑emptive refresh; unobtrusive banner when < 60 s TTL; re‑login modal if refresh fails.
|
||||
* **Network down**: offline banner with queued actions (idempotent resubmits).
|
||||
* **File verify**: show SHA‑256 mismatch warnings if artifact altered in transit.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 13) Observability
|
||||
|
||||
* **Front‑end telemetry** (OpenTelemetry Web): route timings, API latency by service, error counts; sampled to 1–5% and shipped to backend OTLP endpoint.
|
||||
* **User actions** logged anonymously (no PII): “policy promote”, “scan export”, “attest verify”.
|
||||
* **Metrics dash** in admin shows SLOs and recent front‑end errors.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 14) Testing strategy
|
||||
|
||||
* **Unit**: pure component logic via Jest + Testing Library (no TestBed when possible).
|
||||
* **Component harness** for table, code viewer, diff heatmap.
|
||||
* **Contract tests**: OpenAPI schemas pulled at build time; DTOs validated; breaking changes fail CI.
|
||||
* **e2e**: Playwright scenarios (login, scan detail, diff, policy edit, admit deny).
|
||||
* **A11y**: axe-core CI checks; color‑contrast lints.
|
||||
* **i18n**: key coverage tests (no missing translations in supported locales).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 15) Deployment & ops
|
||||
|
||||
* **Container**: `stellaops/web-ui:<ver>-<rev>`; NGINX with `gzip_static` + brotli; immutable assets under `/static/<hash>/…`.
|
||||
* **Config**: `/config.json` served by gateway (injected at runtime): API base URLs, authority issuer, telemetry sampling.
|
||||
* **Version banner**: footer shows UI & backend versions; warns on major mismatches.
|
||||
* **CDN** (optional): cache static bundle; APIs stay behind internal gateway.
|
||||
* **Feature flags**: environment gates (staged policies, eBPF runtime) readable from config.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 16) Plugin system (route plug‑ins)
|
||||
|
||||
* **Manifest**: Backend provides a signed plug‑in manifest with remote module URLs and **cosign signature** per JS bundle.
|
||||
* **Loader**: dynamic import with **SRI** and signature verification (WebCrypto).
|
||||
* **Sandbox**: plug‑ins are routed modules receiving a limited **UI SDK** (navigation, theme, API gateway). No direct token access; API calls proxied through the UI SDK which enforces RBAC.
|
||||
* **Examples**: custom reports, vendor dashboards, regulated TLS config UIs.

BE-->>UI: { ok:true }
|

```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 18) Security hard lines
|
||||
|
||||
* Never store JWTs in `localStorage`.
|
||||
* Enforce DPoP for API calls; if DPoP unsupported for a service, require **SameSite=Lax** cookies with CSRF token header.
|
||||
* Block mixed‑content; only HTTPS origins allowed.
|
||||
* Validate and render only **escaped** user content; code viewer uses safe highlighter.
|
||||
* Downloaded artifacts are treated as **opaque binaries**; no HTML rendering.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 19) Roadmap
|
||||
|
||||
* **PWA** offline shell (read‑only) for dashboards and cached scan details.
|
||||
* **SBOM graph** visualization (force‑directed) for small components sets.
|
||||
* **Runtime session replay** (privacy‑safe) to debug operator workflows (opt‑in).
|
||||
* **Assistive wizards** for policy creation with guided templates.
