# EVID-001: Reachability Evidence Pipeline - COMPLETED

**Status**: ARCHIVED - All Sprints Complete
**Completion Date**: January 2025
**Total Duration**: 5 Sprints

## Executive Summary

Successfully implemented a comprehensive reachability evidence pipeline that:
- Performs 3-layer reachability analysis (Static, Binary, Runtime)
- Generates VEX (Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange) statements
- Integrates with existing Ghidra/eBPF infrastructure
- Provides full API endpoints for evidence operations

---

## Sprint 0: Validation (COMPLETED)

**Objective**: Validate existing infrastructure compatibility

**Findings**:
- 70-80% of proposed infrastructure already exists
- Existing components: `ReachabilityAnalyzer`, `ReachabilityStackEvaluator`, `GhidraDecompilerAdapter`
- eBPF infrastructure available via `IRuntimeSignalCollector`
- DSSE signing infrastructure ready

- `Jobs/ReachabilityEvidenceJob.cs` - Job model with options
- `Jobs/IReachabilityEvidenceJobExecutor.cs` - Executor interface
- `Jobs/ReachabilityEvidenceJobExecutor.cs` - Full L1/L2/L3 orchestration

### Worker Integration

**File**: `ReachabilityEvidenceStageExecutor.cs`

**Features**:
