--- ## 🧹 Backlog hygiene > Imposed rule: Work of this type or tasks of this type on this component must also be applied everywhere else it should be applied. - **Aggregation-Only Contract (AOC).** Ingestion services aggregate and link facts only—derived precedence, severity, and safe-fix hints live in Policy overlays and dedicated explorers. Review [`implplan/AGENTS.md`](implplan/AGENTS.md) and the AOC guardrails in [`aoc/aoc-guardrails.md`](aoc/aoc-guardrails.md). - **Cartographer owns graphs.** SBOM Service emits projections/events; Cartographer (`CARTO-GRAPH-21-00x`) builds graph storage, overlays, and tiles. See `modules/concelier/architecture.md` (Cartographer handshake section) for handoff boundaries. - **Notifier replaces legacy Notify.** Sprint‑15 `StellaOps.Notify.*` tasks are frozen; use the Notifications Studio/Notifier backlogs (`NOTIFY-SVC-38..40`, `WEB-NOTIFY-3x-00x`, `CLI-NOTIFY-3x-00x`). - **Dedicated services for Vuln & Policy.** Vuln Explorer work flows through `src/VulnExplorer/StellaOps.VulnExplorer.Api`/Console/CLI (Sprint 29); gateway routes proxy only. Policy Engine remains the sole source for precedence/suppression overlays. - **Cleanup log.** The backlog consolidation summary lives in [`backlog/2025-10-cleanup.md`](backlog/2025-10-cleanup.md). © 2025 Stella Ops contributors – licensed AGPL‑3.0‑or‑later
