Vuln / Findings Ops Runbook (dev-mock ready)

Status: DRAFT (2025-12-06 UTC). Safe for dev/mock exercises; production steps need final digests and schema from DEPLOY-VULN-29-001.

Scope

Findings Ledger + projector + Vuln Explorer API deployment/rollback, plus common incident drills (lag, storms, export failures).

Release manifest guard
- Dev/mock: python ops/devops/release/check_release_manifest.py deploy/releases/2025.09-mock-dev.yaml --downloads deploy/downloads/manifest.json
- Prod: rerun against deploy/releases/2025.09-stable.yaml once ledger/api digests land.
Render plan
- Helm (mock overlay): helm template vuln-mock ./deploy/helm/stellaops -f deploy/helm/stellaops/values-mock.yaml --debug --validate > /tmp/vuln-mock.yaml
- Compose (dev with overlay): USE_MOCK=1 deploy/compose/scripts/quickstart.sh env/dev.env.example && docker compose --env-file env/dev.env.example -f docker-compose.dev.yaml -f docker-compose.mock.yaml config > /tmp/vuln-compose.yaml
Backups (prod only)
- Postgres dump for Findings Ledger DB; Mongo dump if projector uses Mongo cache; copy object-store buckets tied to projector anchors.

Helm apply (dev): helm upgrade --install stellaops ./deploy/helm/stellaops -f deploy/helm/stellaops/values-mock.yaml --atomic --timeout 10m.
Compose: quickstart already starts ledger + vuln API with mock pins; validate health at https://localhost:8443/swagger (dev certs).

Projector lag: scale projector worker up (kubectl scale deploy/findings-ledger -n stellaops --replicas=2) then back down; monitor queue length (metric hook pending).
Resolver storms: temporarily set ASPNETCORE_THREADPOOL_MINTHREADS higher or scale API horizontally; in compose, use docker compose restart vuln-explorer-api after bumping VULNEXPLORER__MAX_CONCURRENCY env once schema lands.
Export failures: re-run export job after verifying hashes in deploy/releases/*; mock path skips signing but still exercises checksum validation via ops/devops/release/check_release_manifest.py.

Helm: helm rollback stellaops 1 to previous revision.
Compose: docker compose --env-file env/dev.env.example -f docker-compose.dev.yaml -f docker-compose.mock.yaml down.

Keep /tmp/vuln-mock.yaml, /tmp/vuln-compose.yaml, and the release manifest used.
kubectl logs deployment/findings-ledger -n stellaops --since=30m > /tmp/ledger-logs.txt
DB snapshot checksums if taken; bundle into vuln-evidence-$(date -u +%Y%m%dT%H%M%SZ).tar.gz.

Replace mock digests with production pins; add concrete env knobs for projector and API when schemas publish.
Hook Prometheus counters for projector lag and resolver storm dashboards once metrics are exported.
