feat: Implement policy attestation features and service account delegation

Browse Source 
- Added new policy scopes: `policy:publish` and `policy:promote` with interactive-only enforcement.
- Introduced metadata parameters for policy actions: `policy_reason`, `policy_ticket`, and `policy_digest`.
- Enhanced token validation to require fresh authentication for policy attestation tokens.
- Updated grant handlers to enforce policy scope checks and log audit information.
- Implemented service account delegation configuration, including quotas and validation.
- Seeded service accounts during application initialization based on configuration.
- Updated documentation and tasks to reflect new features and changes.

# Scanning Gaps — Competitor Techniques Missing in StellaOps
## .NET lockfile ingestion (Trivy, Snyk)
### Scorecard
| Dimension | Score (1-5) | Notes |
|-----------|-------------|-------|
| Customer demand | 4 | Enterprise tenants request pre-build dependency evidence for audits. |
| Competitive risk | 4 | Trivy and Snyk already parse NuGet lockfiles. |
| Engineering effort | 3 | Collector plus CLI toggle is moderate effort. |
| Policy/config impact | 4 | Policies must handle declared-only components. |
| Offline/air-gap impact | 3 | Offline-friendly; bundle size increases slightly. |
- **Competitor capability**: Trivy parses `packages.lock.json` / `packages.config` and Snyk uploads manifest graphs, enabling pre-build dependency visibility.
- **StellaOps gap**: Scanner currently inspects installed artifacts only (deps/runtimeconfig/assemblies); lockfiles are ignored.
- **Proposed plan**:
1. Add optional lockfile collectors under `StellaOps.Scanner.Analyzers.Lang.DotNet` that parse NuGet lockfiles without requiring restore, emitting auxiliary component records linked to installation evidence when present.
2. Extend Surface.Validation to gate lockfile parsing (size, tenant policy) and Surface.Secrets for private feed credentials when resolving lockfile registries.
3. Feed parsed lockfile metadata into Policy Engine via a new evidence flag so policy can distinguish “declared but not installed” dependencies.
4. Provide CLI toggle (`--dotnet-lockfiles`) and document policy defaults (fail if declarations lack runtime evidence unless waiver).
- **Policy considerations**: Introduce policy template allowing tenants to require lockfile parity or suppress pre-build-only components; leverage existing lattice logic to down-rank vulnerabilities lacking runtime evidence.
- **Next actions**: open analyzer story (SCANNER-ANALYZERS-LANG-DOTNET) and doc task for policy guidance once design is finalized.
### Implementation details
- Collectors live under `StellaOps.Scanner.Analyzers.Lang.DotNet`:
- `DotNetDependencyCollector` (existing) resolves installed assemblies via `*.deps.json`, `*.runtimeconfig.json`, and manifest metadata.
- New `DotNetLockfileCollector` (plan) will parse `packages.lock.json` / `packages.config` without executing restore, emitting records flagged `DeclaredOnly`.
- Surface integrations:
- `Surface.Validation` controls lockfile parsing size, repository allowlists, and opt-in behaviour.
- `Surface.Secrets` provides credentials for private NuGet feeds referenced in lockfiles.
- Merging pipeline:
- `DotNetPackageAggregator` will merge installed and declared records by package key (id + version) with precedence rules (installed evidence supersedes declared-only).
- Policy Engine receives both authoritative and declared-only evidence, enabling parity checks and waivers.
### Detection techniques
| Technique | Artifacts | Analyzer / Module | Merge strategy |
|-----------|-----------|-------------------|----------------|
| Installed runtime evidence | `*.deps.json`, `*.runtimeconfig.json`, assemblies, authenticode metadata | `DotNetDependencyCollector`, `DotNetPackageAggregator`, optional `IDotNetAuthenticodeInspector` | Produces authoritative components (inventory + usage) keyed by assembly path and package id. |
| Lockfile ingestion (planned) | `packages.lock.json`, `packages.config`, restore graph metadata | `DotNetLockfileCollector` (new), integrated into `DotNetPackageAggregator` | Emits `DeclaredOnly` components; merged with installed evidence by package id/version; unresolved entries flagged for policy. |
| Runtime usage linkage | EntryTrace outputs | `EntryTrace` integration via `LanguageAnalyzerContext.UsageHints` | Marks components used by entrypoint closure; policy and explain traces highlight runtime relevance. |
## Node.js pnpm lock validation (Trivy, Snyk)
### Scorecard
| Dimension | Score (1-5) | Notes |
|-----------|-------------|-------|
| Customer demand | 3 | Monorepo customers asking for pnpm parity; moderate demand. |
| Competitive risk | 4 | Competitors advertise pnpm support, creating parity pressure. |
| Engineering effort | 3 | Collector and CLI work similar to .NET lockfile effort. |
| Policy/config impact | 4 | Requires policy predicates and explain updates. |
| Offline/air-gap impact | 3 | Offline-compatible with additional parser rules bundled. |
- **Competitor capability**: Trivy and Snyk parse pnpm/yarn/npm lockfiles even when `node_modules` is absent, surfacing dependency graphs pre-install for policy gating.
- **StellaOps gap**: Scanner requires installed artifacts; there is no CLI helper to validate pnpm lockfiles or compare declared vs installed packages ahead of a scan.
- **Proposed plan**:
1. Introduce a lockfile-only collector under `StellaOps.Scanner.Analyzers.Lang.Node` that decodes `pnpm-lock.yaml`, `package-lock.json`, and `yarn.lock`, emitting provisional component records with provenance flag `DeclaredOnly`.
2. Expose a CLI verb (`stella node lock-validate`) that runs the collector without enqueuing a full scan, honouring Surface.Validation controls (max lockfile size, allowed registries) and Surface.Secrets for private registries.
3. Persist lockfile-derived dependencies alongside installed evidence so Policy Engine can enforce parity via new predicates (e.g., `node.lock.declaredMissing`, `node.lock.registryDisallowed`).
4. Extend EntryTrace explain output (and policy explain traces) to highlight packages present in runtime closure but missing from lockfiles—or declared-only artifacts not shipped in the image.
- **Policy considerations**: Provide sample policies that fail builds when lockfiles reference disallowed registries or when declared packages lack runtime evidence; use lattice weighting to downgrade issues limited to declared-only components.
- **Next actions**: open analyzer story (SCANNER-ANALYZERS-LANG-NODE) plus CLI story for lock validation, and schedule Docs Guild update covering the new policy predicates.
### Implementation details
- Collectors under `StellaOps.Scanner.Analyzers.Lang.Node`:
- Existing `NodePackageCollector` walks `package.json` evidence across workspaces.
- Planned `NodeLockfileCollector` will parse `pnpm-lock.yaml`, `package-lock.json`, `yarn.lock`.
- Surface integrations:
- `Surface.Validation` to constrain lockfile size, allowed registries, and CLI access for `stella node lock-validate`.
- `Surface.Secrets` for private registry credentials when validating lockfiles.
- Merge strategy:
- `LanguageAnalyzerContext` merges installed and declared components; declared-only entries are flagged (`DeclaredOnly`) and kept for policy comparison.
- EntryTrace usage hints link runtime scripts to packages, influencing policy weights and explain traces.
### Detection techniques
| Technique | Artifacts | Analyzer / Module | Merge strategy |
|-----------|-----------|-------------------|----------------|
| Installed package evidence | `package.json` + `node_modules` tree | `NodePackageCollector` | Produces authoritative components with install paths and workspace metadata. |
| Lockfile ingestion (planned) | `pnpm-lock.yaml`, `package-lock.json`, `yarn.lock` | `NodeLockfileCollector` (new) | Emits declared dependency graph with provenance; merged by package name/version; discrepancies flagged for policy. |
| Runtime usage linkage | EntryTrace launcher catalog (npm/yarn scripts, node entrypoints) | `EntryTrace` + `LanguageAnalyzerContext.UsageHints` | Annotates components used at runtime; unresolved launchers produce explain-trace diagnostics. |
## Python lockfile & editable install coverage (Trivy, Snyk)
### Scorecard
| Dimension | Score (1-5) | Notes |
|-----------|-------------|-------|
| Customer demand | 3 | Editable install coverage requested by regulated Python users. |
| Competitive risk | 3 | Trivy supports multiple lock formats; Snyk SaaS highlights poetry support. |
| Engineering effort | 3 | Collector and editable path resolution are moderate effort. |
| Policy/config impact | 4 | Policy needs knobs for declared-only vs runtime packages. |
| Offline/air-gap impact | 3 | Offline workable while packaging parser tooling. |
- **Competitor capability**: Trivy parses Poetry/Pipenv/pip lockfiles (including editable installs) and Snyk uploads manifest graphs, exposing declared dependencies even when virtualenvs are absent.
- **StellaOps gap**: Scanner relies on installed `dist-info` metadata; editable installs or source-only lockfiles are skipped, and there is no automated parity check between declared requirements and runtime usage.
- **Proposed plan**:
1. Add a lockfile collector in `StellaOps.Scanner.Analyzers.Lang.Python` that reads `poetry.lock`, `Pipfile.lock`, `requirements.txt` (including VCS URLs), tagging results as `DeclaredOnly`.
2. Detect editable installs by parsing `pyproject.toml` / `setup.cfg`, resolving editable paths with Surface.FS, and linking to EntryTrace usage to ensure runtime awareness.
3. Provide CLI support (`stella python lock-validate`) to diff declared vs installed artifacts, enforcing Surface.Validation constraints (lockfile size, allowed indexes) and Surface.Secrets for private PyPI mirrors.
4. Persist declarative evidence separately so Policy Engine can evaluate predicates like `python.lock.declaredMissing` and `python.lock.indexDisallowed`.
5. Extend explain traces to highlight editable or declared-only packages lacking runtime deployment, aiding remediation.
- **Policy considerations**: Ship policy templates distinguishing declared-only vs runtime packages, with lattice-based weighting to reduce noise when usage is absent; allow tenants to enforce registry allowlists.
- **Next actions**: create analyzer and CLI backlog items in the Python guild, plus Docs Guild task to cover new policy knobs once design is complete.
### Implementation details
- Collectors under `StellaOps.Scanner.Analyzers.Lang.Python`:
- Existing analyzer reads installed `*.dist-info` metadata via `PythonDistributionLoader`.
- Planned lockfile collector parses `poetry.lock`, `Pipfile.lock`, `requirements.txt` (including VCS refs).
- Editable installs:
- Detect via `pyproject.toml` / `setup.cfg` markers; use `Surface.FS` to resolve local paths and mark components as editable.
- Surface & policy integrations:
- `Surface.Validation` constrains lockfile size and allowed indexes; `Surface.Secrets` handles private index credentials.
- Policy Engine receives new flags (`DeclaredOnly`, `EditablePath`) to drive parity checks.
- CLI workflow: `stella python lock-validate` (planned) will reuse collectors without scheduling full scans.
### Detection techniques
| Technique | Artifacts | Analyzer / Module | Merge strategy |
|-----------|-----------|-------------------|----------------|
| Installed distributions | `*.dist-info` directories, RECORD, METADATA | `PythonLanguageAnalyzer` | Produces authoritative components with file hashes and EntryTrace usage hints. |
| Lockfile ingestion (planned) | `poetry.lock`, `Pipfile.lock`, `requirements.txt` | Planned lockfile collector integrated with analyzer | Emits declared dependency graph, tagged `DeclaredOnly`; merged by package name/version. |
| Editable install resolution | Local source directories referenced in lockfiles (`path =`, `editable = true`) | New editable resolver leveraging `Surface.FS` | Links editable packages to actual source paths; policy distinguishes editable vs packaged artefacts. |
## Java build-tool lockfile ingestion (Trivy, Snyk)
### Scorecard
| Dimension | Score (1-5) | Notes |
|-----------|-------------|-------|
| Customer demand | 3 | Platform teams running Gradle/SBT builds request parity for pre-build evidence. |
| Competitive risk | 4 | Trivy supports Gradle/SBT lockfiles and Snyk ships Maven/Gradle/SBT plugins. |
| Engineering effort | 3 | Requires new lockfile collectors plus CLI wiring; moderate complexity. |
| Policy/config impact | 3 | Policy must handle declared-only Java components and disallowed repositories. |
| Offline/air-gap impact | 3 | Works offline but needs packaged parsers and repository allowlists. |
- **Competitor capability**: Trivy parses Gradle/Maven/SBT lockfiles and Snyk relies on dedicated plugins to surface declared dependencies even before artifacts are built.
- **StellaOps gap**: Scanner inspects installed archives only; it ignores Gradle/SBT lockfiles and lacks a workflow to compare declared dependencies against runtime archives.
- **Proposed plan**:
1. Introduce lockfile collectors under `StellaOps.Scanner.Analyzers.Lang.Java` to parse `gradle.lockfile`, `pom.xml`/`pom.lock`, and `build.sbt` output, emitting `DeclaredOnly` components with repository metadata.
2. Extend Surface.Validation for Java lockfiles (size limits, allowed repositories) and leverage Surface.Secrets for private Maven repository credentials.
3. Provide a CLI verb (`stella java lock-validate`) to diff declared vs installed archives without running a full scan, emitting policy-ready diagnostics.
4. Persist declarative evidence so Policy Engine can evaluate predicates (`java.lock.declaredMissing`, `java.lock.repoDisallowed`) and feed explain traces highlighting gaps.
- **Policy considerations**: Supply templates enforcing repository allowlists and declared-vs-runtime parity, using lattice weights to downgrade issues that never reach runtime.
- **Next actions**: log analyzer/CLI backlog stories with the Java guild and plan Docs Guild updates for new policy knobs once design stabilises.
### Implementation details
- Collectors under `StellaOps.Scanner.Analyzers.Lang.Java`:
- Existing analyzer normalises installed JAR/WAR/EAR archives and extracts `MANIFEST.MF`, `pom.properties`.
- Planned lockfile collectors will ingest `gradle.lockfile`, Maven `pom.xml`/`pom.lock`, and `build.sbt` outputs.
- Surface integrations:
- `Surface.Validation` enforces lockfile size and repository allowlists; `Surface.Secrets` supplies credentials for private Maven repositories.
- Merge strategy:
- New collector emits `DeclaredOnly` components with repository metadata; `JavaLanguageAnalyzer` merges them with observed archives keyed by `groupId:artifactId:version`.
- EntryTrace usage hints link runtime launchers to archives, enabling policy to prioritise used components.
- CLI tooling:
- `stella java lock-validate` (planned) exposes lockfile parity checks without full scan scheduling, reusing collectors.
### Detection techniques
| Technique | Artifacts | Analyzer / Module | Merge strategy |
|-----------|-----------|-------------------|----------------|
| Installed archives | JAR/WAR/EAR/PAR files, `MANIFEST.MF`, `pom.properties` | `JavaLanguageAnalyzer` | Produces authoritative components with archive hashes and runtime usage hints. |
| Lockfile ingestion (planned) | `gradle.lockfile`, Maven `pom.xml`/`pom.lock`, SBT build metadata | Planned lockfile collectors integrated with analyzer | Emits declared dependency entries (repository + checksum); merged on GAV coordinates with priority to installed evidence. |
| Runtime linkage | EntryTrace wrapper catalogue (java -jar, jetty, etc.) | `EntryTrace` integration | Marks archives invoked at runtime; unresolved launchers surfaced with remediation hints. |
## Go stripped binary enrichment (Trivy, Grype)
### Scorecard
| Dimension | Score (1-5) | Notes |
|-----------|-------------|-------|
| Customer demand | 3 | Teams shipping minimal Go binaries want richer provenance for runtime attestations. |
| Competitive risk | 3 | Trivy/Grype skip hashed fallbacks, but customers compare hashed provenance across tools. |
| Engineering effort | 2 | Extend fallback hashing with symbol inference; low-medium effort. |
| Policy/config impact | 3 | Policy needs knobs to treat inferred modules differently from authoritative results. |
| Offline/air-gap impact | 3 | Offline-friendly; requires bundling symbol parser logic. |
- **Competitor capability**: Trivy and Grype skip binaries without Go build info, leaving stripped binaries without component coverage.
- **StellaOps gap**: StellaOps emits hashed fallback components but lacks inferred module names, confidence scoring, and policy integration.
- **Proposed plan**:
1. Enhance `GoBinaryScanner` fallback path to parse symbol tables (DWARF/ELF) and infer module/package names, tagging results with confidence metrics.
2. Persist inferred metadata separately so Policy Engine can weight `go.inferred` components differently from authoritative modules.
3. Expose CLI detail (`--go-fallback-detail`) and explain trace entries highlighting hashed/inferred provenance for stripped binaries.
4. Update attestation manifests to surface inferred modules, enabling policy-controlled downgrade rather than omission.
- **Policy considerations**: Extend policy predicates to differentiate authoritative vs inferred Go modules; adjust lattice weights to reduce noise while keeping visibility.
- **Next actions**: create analyzer backlog story for enhanced fallback parsing and Docs Guild task to document policy/CLI behaviour.
### Implementation details
- Analyzer: `StellaOps.Scanner.Analyzers.Lang.Go/GoLanguageAnalyzer` currently extracts Go build info (`module`, `buildSettings`) and DWARF metadata when available.
- Fallback enhancements (planned):
- Extend `GoBinaryScanner` to parse ELF/Mach-O symbol tables when build info is missing.
- Maintain fingerprint catalogue under `StellaOps.Scanner.Analyzers.Lang.Go.Fingerprints` with signed updates for Offline Kit.
- Surface & policy:
- `Surface.Validation` governs fallback enablement; configuration stored alongside analyzer options.
- Policy Engine will recognise inferred components via new flags (e.g., `go.inferred`), influencing lattice weights.
- CLI and explain:
- Introduce `--go-fallback-detail` to surface hashed vs inferred provenance.
- Explain traces include confidence scores and recommended remediation (e.g., rebuild with `-buildvcs`).
### Detection techniques
| Technique | Artifacts | Analyzer / Module | Merge strategy |
|-----------|-----------|-------------------|----------------|
| Authoritative build info | Go binary `buildinfo` section, DWARF metadata | `GoLanguageAnalyzer` | Produces authoritative modules with version/build metadata. |
| Fallback hashing | Binary bytes when build info missing | Existing fallback path in `GoBinaryScanner` | Emits hashed component (`sha256:...`) with `Fallback` flag for policy downgrading. |
| Symbol-based inference (planned) | ELF/Mach-O symbols, DWARF line info | Planned enhancement to `GoBinaryScanner` with fingerprint catalogue | Maps symbols to modules/packages, tagging confidence scores; merged with hashed fallback for explainability. |
## Rust fingerprint coverage (Trivy, Grype)
### Scorecard
| Dimension | Score (1-5) | Notes |
|-----------|-------------|-------|
| Customer demand | 3 | Regulated teams running Rust microservices want deterministic evidence even for stripped binaries. |
| Competitive risk | 3 | Competitors drop stripped binaries entirely; StellaOps can differentiate by improving heuristics. |
| Engineering effort | 3 | Requires enhancing fingerprint catalogue and symbol inference; moderate effort. |
| Policy/config impact | 3 | Policy needs knobs to treat heuristic vs authoritative crates differently. |
| Offline/air-gap impact | 3 | Offline-compatible; must distribute updated fingerprint datasets with Offline Kit. |
- **Competitor capability**: Trivy and Grype skip Rust binaries lacking Cargo metadata, offering no fallback or runtime insight.
- **StellaOps gap**: Although StellaOps stores hashed fallback and fingerprint components, coverage for niche toolchains and stripped binaries remains limited, reducing explainability.
- **Proposed plan**:
1. Expand the fingerprint catalogue (`RustAnalyzerCollector`) with additional signature sources (e.g., crate fingerprint DB, community-sourced hash lists) and version inference heuristics.
2. Parse symbol tables for stripped binaries (DWARF, `--build-id`) to infer crate names and link them to fingerprints, tagging results with confidence scores.
3. Surface inferred vs authoritative crates distinctly in explain traces and CLI output (`--rust-fingerprint-detail`) so operators know when evidence is heuristic.
4. Publish policy predicates (`rust.fingerprint.confidence`) allowing tenants to warn/fail when only heuristic evidence exists.
- **Policy considerations**: Extend lattice weights to downgrade heuristic-only findings while still surfacing them; provide policy templates for regulated environments.
- **Next actions**: open analyzer backlog story for fingerprint enrichment, schedule Docs Guild update for policy guidance, and coordinate Offline Kit team to package updated fingerprint datasets.

| Customer demand | 2 | Requests are emerging but not yet widespread; gathering signals via `windows-macos-demand.md`. |
| Competitive risk | 3 | Competitors currently focus on Linux; future announcements could increase pressure. |
| Engineering effort | 4 | Full Windows/macOS analyzer support would require new parsers, evidence models, and Offline Kit updates. |
| Policy/config impact | 3 | Policy must account for OS-specific package sources and signing requirements. |
| Offline/air-gap impact | 4 | Supporting Windows/macOS would significantly expand Offline Kit footprint and mirroring workflows. |
- **Competitor capability**: Trivy and Grype document Linux distribution coverage; Snyk Container relies on SaaS services and likewise focuses on Linux bases. None offer first-class offline Windows/macOS package scanning today.
- **StellaOps gap**: Platform currently scopes scanners to Linux; regulated customers with Windows/macOS workloads need clarity on future coverage.
- **Proposed plan**:
1. Continue demand intake per `docs/benchmarks/scanner/windows-macos-demand.md`, capturing customer interviews, sales telemetry, and community updates.
2. If demand crosses the documented threshold, scope a design spike covering evidence models (e.g., MSI, Chocolatey, Homebrew), Surface integration, and policy ramifications.
3. Document interim guidance for hybrid workflows (e.g., importing third-party SBOMs) while native analyzers are out of scope.
- **Policy considerations**: Policies would need repository allowlists, signing requirements, and OS-specific mitigations; defer concrete templates until design spike completes.
- **Next actions**: Execute tasks DOCS-SCANNER-BENCH-62-002/003/004/005/006 as demand signals accrue; only open engineering backlog after demand review approves scope expansion.
### Detection techniques
| Technique | Artifacts | Analyzer / Module | Merge strategy |
|-----------|-----------|-------------------|----------------|
| Layer package DB parsing | apk, dpkg, rpm status/databases per layer | StellaOps.Scanner.Analyzers.OS.* with RustFS CAS | Produces per-layer fragments keyed by layer digest; composed into inventory/usage SBOM with provenance pointers. |
| Manifest + attestation binding | Distro manifest attestations, vendor signatures | Export Center + Signer/Attestor hand-off | Binds package fragments to DSSE attestations; policy consumes provenance metadata for trust weighting. |
| External SBOM import (interim) | Third-party SBOMs for Windows/macOS | Scanner SBOM import API (planned) | Imports produce declared-only entries flagged for policy review until native analyzers exist. |
## Secrets leak detection (Trivy, Snyk)
### Scorecard
| Dimension | Score (1-5) | Notes |
|-----------|-------------|-------|
| Customer demand | 4 | Security and compliance teams expect leak detection in parity with Trivy/Snyk. |
| Competitive risk | 4 | Trivy and Snyk market built-in secret scanners; lack of parity is visible. |
| Engineering effort | 4 | Requires deterministic scanner pipeline, rule packaging, and explainability. |
| Policy/config impact | 5 | Policy must gate rule sets, severities, and privacy guarantees. |
| Offline/air-gap impact | 3 | Rule packs must be versioned and bundled with Offline Kit. |
- **Competitor capability**: Trivy ships regex/entropy secret analyzers with configurable rule packs; Snyk Code offers SaaS-based secret detection.
- **StellaOps gap**: Scanner intentionally avoids leak detection to preserve determinism, leaving customers without first-party secret scanning.
- **Proposed plan**:
1. Implement a deterministic secret scanner plugin (`StellaOps.Scanner.Analyzers.Secrets`) supporting rule bundles signed and versioned for offline parity.
2. Provide rule configuration via Surface.Validation (rule allowlists, target paths) and Surface.Secrets to manage sensitive allow rules.
3. Emit findings into Policy Engine with new evidence types (`secret.leak`) so policies can enforce severity thresholds, ticket workflows, or waivers.
4. Offer CLI verb (`stella secrets scan`) and integration into existing scan workflows behind an opt-in flag.
5. Expose explain traces detailing rule IDs, masked snippets, and remediation guidance while upholding privacy constraints.
- **Policy considerations**: Deliver policy templates for severity gating, rule packs per tenant, and privacy controls; lattice logic should discount low-confidence matches.
- **Next actions**: open analyzer/CLI backlog work, coordinate with Docs Guild on policy templates, and bundle signed rule packs for Offline Kit distribution.
### Detection techniques
| Technique | Artifacts | Analyzer / Module | Merge strategy |
|-----------|-----------|-------------------|----------------|
| Operational secret retrieval | secret:// references resolved via Surface.Secrets providers | Surface.Secrets, Surface.Validation | Injects secrets at runtime; no SBOM entry created; policy ensures provenance of retrieved credentials. |
| Deterministic leak detection (planned) | File content, archives, bytecode | StellaOps.Scanner.Analyzers.Secrets (planned) | Emits secret.leak evidence with masked snippets; Policy Engine merges with package evidence using VEX gating. |
| Competitor leak scanning | Regex/entropy rulesets (Trivy pkg/fanal/secret), Snyk Code SaaS service | Trivy secret analyzer, Snyk Code API | Findings remain separate from SBOM data; StellaOps will map to policy evidence types once analyzer ships. |
## EntryTrace runtime command resolution (Trivy, Grype, Snyk)
### Scorecard
| Dimension | Score (1-5) | Notes |
|-----------|-------------|-------|
| Customer demand | 4 | Runtime teams rely on EntryTrace to separate inventory vs usage for policy decisions. |
| Competitive risk | 4 | Competitors lack equivalent capability; maintaining lead is critical marketing differentiator. |
| Engineering effort | 3 | Requires ongoing heuristics updates and parser maintenance for shells and launchers. |
| Policy/config impact | 3 | Policy uses EntryTrace outputs; enhancements must keep explainability stable. |
| Offline/air-gap impact | 2 | Heuristic catalog updates are lightweight and ship with Offline Kit. |
- **Competitor capability**: Trivy, Grype, and Snyk do not offer runtime command resolution comparable to EntryTrace.
- **StellaOps gap**: To maintain leadership, EntryTrace heuristics must expand to new shells/launchers and provide richer explainability for policy consumers.
- **Proposed plan**:
1. Establish a quarterly EntryTrace heuristic review cadence to ingest new shell patterns and language launchers (npm/yarn, poetry, bundle exec, etc.).
2. Add explain-trace improvements (confidence scores, unresolved reason catalog) so Policy Engine and UI can surface actionable guidance when resolution fails.
3. Provide a CLI report (`stella entrytrace explain`) summarising resolved/unresolved paths with remediation hints, aligned with policy predicates.
4. Publish contribution guidelines for customers to submit launcher patterns, keeping deterministic ordering and tests.
- **Policy considerations**: Ensure policy predicates (e.g., `entrytrace.resolution`) include confidence metadata; lattice logic should treat unresolved entrypoints with configurable severity.
- **Next actions**: open backlog item for heuristic upkeep and docs task for CLI/policy explain guidance.
### Detection techniques
| Technique | Artifacts | Analyzer / Module | Merge strategy |
|-----------|-----------|-------------------|----------------|
| Shell AST parsing | Dockerfile ENTRYPOINT/CMD, shell scripts | StellaOps.Scanner.EntryTrace | Builds command graph with confidence scores; merged into usage SBOM to mark runtime components. |
| Wrapper catalogue resolution | Known launchers (npm, yarn, poetry, bundle exec, supervisor) | EntryTrace.WrapperCatalog | Resolves wrappers to underlying binaries; merges with language analyzers via UsageHints. |
| Fallback heuristics | History scripts, init configs, service manifests | EntryTrace heuristic expansions | Flags unresolved entrypoints with reasons; Policy Engine consumes to warn/fail. |
| Competitor baseline | — | Trivy/Grype/Snyk | No runtime resolution; StellaOps maintains differentiated capability. |
## DSSE/Rekor operator enablement (Trivy, Grype, Snyk)
### Scorecard
| Dimension | Score (1-5) | Notes |
|-----------|-------------|-------|
| Customer demand | 4 | Regulated tenants require auditable attestations and Rekor proofs for compliance handoffs. |
| Competitive risk | 3 | Trivy and Grype export SBOMs but lack DSSE/Rekor workflows; Snyk relies on SaaS attestations. |
| Engineering effort | 2 | Capabilities exist; need enablement guides, default policies, and operator tooling. |
| Policy/config impact | 4 | Policies must ensure attestation upload/log and enforce Rekor verifiability by tenant. |
| Offline/air-gap impact | 2 | DSSE/Rekor flows already support offline bundles; need better documentation and guardrails. |
- **Competitor capability**: Trivy emits SBOMs and Cosign signatures but Rekor usage is manual; Grype consumes Syft SBOMs without attestations; Snyk Container signs via SaaS only.
- **StellaOps gap**: Signing pipeline exists (Signer → Attestor → Rekor v2) yet operators need prescriptive runbooks, policy defaults, and Export Center alignment.
- **Proposed plan**:
1. Publish DSSE/Rekor operator guide detailing enablement, policy toggles, and verification CLI workflows.
2. Extend Export Center profiles with attestation policy checks and Rekor proof bundling by default.
3. Surface Rekor health metrics in Scanner.WebService and Notify to escalate failed submissions.
- **Policy considerations**: Provide policy predicates for attestation presence, Rekor inclusion, and proof expiry to enforce promotion gates.
- **Next actions**: Track via DOCS-SCANNER-BENCH-62-015 and SCANNER-ENG-0015 for playbook plus tooling updates.
### Detection techniques

# Windows / macOS Analyzer Demand Capture
## Current competitive posture
- **Trivy** coverage tables enumerate Linux family distributions only (Alpine, Wolfi, Chainguard, Debian/Ubuntu, RHEL/Alma/Rocky, SUSE, Photon, Amazon, Bottlerocket) with no mention of Windows or macOS package managers (source: /tmp/trivy-docs/docs/docs/coverage/os/index.md).
- **Grype** matchers target Linux ecosystems via Syft catalogers (APK, DPKG/APT, RPM, Portage, Bitnami) with no coverage for Windows Installer, MSI, Chocolatey, or macOS Homebrew/App bundles (source: /tmp/grype-data/grype/matcher/{apk,dpkg,rpm}/matcher.go).
- **Snyk CLI** focuses on container, open source, IaC, and code scanning routed through the SaaS service; CLI documentation does not advertise Windows/macOS package coverage beyond container images (source: /tmp/snyk-cli/README.md).
## Signals to gather
1. **Customer interviews** – ask regulated customers deploying Windows Server or Windows container workloads which artifacts require SBOM + VEX and whether current StellaOps scope (Linux images) blocks adoption.
2. **Sales & SE feedback loop** – capture any RFP items referencing Windows/macOS scanning and log them in the Scanner guild tracker (SCANNER-ANALYZERS-OS-*).
3. **Support telemetry** – review ticket tags for “windows”, “macos”, “dotnet framework” to quantify inbound demand.
4. **Community landscape** – monitor Trivy/Grype/Snyk release notes for Windows/macOS announcements; update this note and the feature matrix when competitors change posture.
## Next actions
- Coordinate with Product Marketing to add Windows/macOS discovery prompts into upcoming customer advisory sessions (target: Sprint 132 intake).
- Instrument the scanner roadmap intake form with explicit checkboxes for Windows/macOS package ecosystems.
- If three or more qualified customers flag Windows/macOS coverage as a blocking requirement, open a design spike under the Scanner Analyzer Guild with scope/time estimates and Offline Kit considerations.
