Raw Blame History

Pack 11 — Release Control (root) + Governance + Admin (IAM/Notifications/Usage) + System + Trust & Signing

This pack converts the remaining “Settings” pages into the release-first Stella Ops IA, adds the missing region-first environment model, and makes governance + determinism explicit (aligned with Stellas stated focus on digest-first release identity, evidence, reachability/hybrid reachability, and audit exports). (Stella Ops Suite)


11.1 Menu graph (Mermaid) — the menus touched in this pack

NOTE: This is a partial root graph (only the menus were redesigning here). It preserves your “main reorg” (release-first), keeps Release Control as a root menu, and moves “Settings” items into Admin / System / Evidence Trust where they belong.

11.2 Screen — Release Control Home

Formerly

  • Settings → Release Control (/settings/release-control) (cards: Environments, Targets, Agents, Workflows)

Why moved / reshaped

  • Stella is explicitly release-governance centric (promotion graphs, digest-first identity, deterministic decision records). (Gitea: Git with a cup of tea)
  • So “Release Control” must be ROOT (operator-facing), not buried under Settings.

11.3 Screen — Regions & Environments

Formerly

  • Accessed via Settings → Release Control → Manage Environments (button from the card)

Why moved / reshaped

  • You called out a missing core: environments must be organized per region.
  • Stellas model is “what is deployed where” must be unambiguous; region-first is required for that clarity. (Gitea: Git with a cup of tea)

11.4 Screen — Region Detail

Formerly

  • Not present as a first-class concept (regions missing; envs likely flat)

Why moved / reshaped

  • Region is the natural unit for:

    • feed freshness / mirror selection,
    • deployment agents & targets,
    • environment variables sources (Vault/Consul partitioning).

11.5 Screen — Environment Detail (Config + Status summary)

Formerly

  • “Environment” concept appeared on Control Plane / Releases / Approvals pages, but
  • no dedicated region-first “env detail” with SBOM + reachability + runtime proof surfaced.

Why moved / reshaped

  • Stellas promise includes reachability and hybrid reachability evidence. (Gitea: Git with a cup of tea)

  • Environment is where hybrid reachability becomes meaningful:

    • Image reachability (static),
    • Build reachability (build-time evidence),
    • Runtime reachability (environment traces).
  • This must be second-class (tabs/sections), not buried.

11.6 Screen — Deployment Targets

Formerly

  • Settings → Release Control → Manage Targets

Why moved / reshaped

  • Targets are release execution primitives (where things get deployed).
  • Putting them under Release Control keeps “release execution” in the same domain as “release governance”.

11.7 Screen — Agents

Formerly

  • Settings → Release Control → Manage Agents

Why moved / reshaped

  • Agents are needed for:

    • deployment execution,
    • optional runtime evidence collection (hybrid reachability),
    • replay/verify hooks.
  • Keeping them here keeps the “control plane” coherent with Stellas evidence and reachability focus. (Gitea: Git with a cup of tea)

11.8 Screen — Workflows

Formerly

  • Settings → Release Control → Edit Workflows

Why moved / reshaped

  • Workflows are the standardized release execution templates (canary, A/B, rollback) that Stella highlights as part of release governance and controlled rollout. (Stella Ops Suite)
  • This becomes the canonical place to manage them.

11.9 Screen — Governance Hub (Policy baselines, gate rules, simulation, exception workflow)

Formerly

  • Settings → Policy Governance (/settings/policy)

    • Policy Baselines
    • Governance Rules
    • Policy Simulation
    • Exception Workflow

Why moved / reshaped

  • Governance is not “settings”; it is core Release Control:

    • policy-as-code evaluation with traceable outcomes (“why blocked?”) and replayability is a stated Stella deliverable. (Gitea: Git with a cup of tea)
  • So it becomes: Release Control → Governance (still admin-controlled, but release-centric).

11.12 Screen — Usage & Limits

Formerly

  • Settings → Usage & Limits (/settings/usage)

Why moved / reshaped

  • This is tenant/admin entitlement + limit configuration.
  • Keep operational usage charts accessible, but do quota enforcement config here; operational throttles remain in Platform Ops → Quotas.

11.13 Screen — System Console (Health / Doctor / SLO / Background Jobs)

Formerly

  • Settings → System (/settings/system)

Why moved / reshaped

  • System health + background jobs directly explain:

    • “why are feeds stale?”
    • “why are rescans failing?”
    • “why are evidence exports missing?”
  • Thats operational, not “settings”. It becomes System (Platform), reachable as root and also second-class from the Dashboard “Nightly Ops Signals”.

11.14 Screen — Trust & Signing

Formerly

  • Settings → Trust & Signing (/settings/trust)

Why moved / reshaped

  • This is the cryptographic and issuer-trust foundation for:

    • DSSE evidence, attestations,
    • issuer trust/conflict resolution for VEX,
    • transparency logs.
  • Those belong under Evidence → Trust & Signing, consistent with Stellas emphasis on verifiability and audit export. (Gitea: Git with a cup of tea)

What I did NOT include yet (next pack)

You explicitly flagged Release Bundle Organizer as crucial. It needs its own pack because its not a single screen—its a workflow:

  • Bundle catalog (per repo / per product line),
  • Bundle compose (digests → service versions),
  • Env-var resolution (Vault + Consul mappings per env/region),
  • Bundle changelog (per repository),
  • Bundle → Release promotion linkage.

If you say “continue”, Pack 12 will be only the Bundle Organizer: full Mermaid graphs + ASCII mocks + “formerly/why” (its mostly net-new).
