StellaOps Authority — DevEx / Platform Workstream

Read first: AGENTS.md, StellaOps.Authority.TODOS.md, and this file.
Keep task status synced in both TODO trackers whenever items move (TODO → DOING → DONE/BLOCKED).

Scope

• Repository scaffolding, shared configuration plumbing, sample configs, telemetry constants.
• Provide the baseline everyone else builds on; unblock quickly, announce breaking changes on the shared channel.

Deliverables & Checklist

Order	Task ID	Description	Dependencies	Notes
1	FND1	Create src/StellaOps.Authority solution layout (Authority host, Plugins.Abstractions, Plugin.Standard stub, Auth libraries).	none	DONE – Solution scaffolding live with net10.0 preview defaults + project references.
2	FND2	Update repository build props/targets for new projects; ensure analyzers + nullable + treat warnings as errors.	FND1	DONE – Directory.Build props/targets extended; root StellaOps.sln added (root build still surfaced existing Feedser compile failures).
3	FND3	Extend StellaOps.Configuration with StellaOpsAuthorityOptions, binder, validation stubs.	FND1	DONE – Options schema + bootstrap helper + unit tests validating binding/normalisation.
4	FND4	Publish etc/authority.yaml.sample (with plugin toggles) + README mention.	FND3	DONE – Sample config added with env var guidance; README + quickstart updated.
5	FND5	Register OTEL resource constants (service.name = stellaops-authority, etc.).	FND3	DONE – Authority telemetry constants helper published for shared use.
6	PLG5	Define plugin config directory structure (etc/authority.plugins/*.yaml), loader helpers, sample files.	FND3	DONE – Schema + loader shipped, standard/ldap samples published.
7	OPS1 (support)	Pair with DevOps on Dockerfile/compose scaffolding to ensure directories, config names match.	FND4	DONE – Provided distroless Dockerfile/compose guidance in ops/authority/ for DevOps handoff.

Exit Criteria

• dotnet build succeeds from repo root with new projects.
• Configuration sample + docs referenced in README/Authority TODO file.
• Telemetry/resource constants ready for Authority Core team.
• Plugin config loader available before Plugin Team begins feature work.

Risks / Mitigations

• Risk: Build props drift. → Run dotnet format --verify-no-changes before handoff.
• Risk: Config breaking changes mid-implementation. → Version StellaOpsAuthorityOptions and communicate via Slack + TODO updates.

Coordination

• Daily async update until FND3 complete.
• Hand off AuthorityOptions schema to all other teams once finalized (tag repository issue).
• Keep an eye on PR queue—DevEx reviews required for structure/config changes.
