# ReachGraph Module Architecture
## Overview
The **ReachGraph** module provides a unified store for reachability subgraphs, enabling fast, deterministic, audit-ready answers to "*exactly why* a dependency is reachable." It consolidates data from Scanner, Signals, and Attestor into content-addressed artifacts with edge-level explainability.
## Problem Statement
Before ReachGraph, reachability data was scattered across multiple modules:
| Module | Data | Limitation |
|--------|------|------------|
| Scanner.CallGraph | `CallGraphSnapshot` | No unified query API |
| Signals | `ReachabilityFactDocument` | Runtime-focused, not auditable |
| Attestor | PoE JSON | Per-CVE only, no slice queries |
| Graph | Generic nodes/edges | Not optimized for "why reachable?" |
**Result**: Answering "why is lodash reachable?" required querying multiple systems with no guarantee of consistency or auditability.
## Solution
ReachGraph provides:
1. **Unified Schema**: Extends PoE subgraph format with edge explainability
2. **Content-Addressed Store**: All artifacts identified by BLAKE3 digest
3. **Slice Query API**: Fast queries by package, CVE, entrypoint, or file
4. **Deterministic Replay**: Verify that same inputs produce same graph
5. **DSSE Signing**: Offline-verifiable proofs
## Architecture

## Data Model
### ReachGraphMinimal (v1)
The core schema extends the PoE predicate format:
```json
{
"schemaVersion": "reachgraph.min@v1",
"artifact": {
"name": "svc.payments",
"digest": "sha256:abc123...",
"env": ["linux/amd64"]
},
"scope": {
"entrypoints": ["/app/bin/svc"],
"selectors": ["prod"],
"cves": ["CVE-2024-1234"]
},
"nodes": [...],
"edges": [...],
"provenance": {...},
"signatures": [...]
}
```
### Edge Explainability
Every edge carries metadata explaining *why* it exists:
| Type | Description | Example Guard |
|------|-------------|---------------|
| `Import` | Static import | - |
| `DynamicLoad` | Runtime load | - |
| `Reflection` | Reflective call | - |
| `EnvGuard` | Env variable check | `DEBUG=true` |
| `FeatureFlag` | Feature flag | `FEATURE_X=enabled` |
| `PlatformArch` | Platform guard | `os=linux` |
| `LoaderRule` | PLT/IAT/GOT | `RTLD_LAZY` |
### Content Addressing
All artifacts are identified by BLAKE3-256 digest:
- Computed from canonical JSON (sorted keys, no nulls)
- Signatures excluded from hash computation
- Enables idempotent upserts and cache keying
## API Design
### Core Endpoints
| Method | Path | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| POST | `/v1/reachgraphs` | Upsert subgraph (idempotent) |
| GET | `/v1/reachgraphs/{digest}` | Get full subgraph |
| GET | `/v1/reachgraphs/{digest}/slice` | Query slice |
| POST | `/v1/reachgraphs/replay` | Verify determinism |
### Slice Query Types
1. **Package Slice** (`?q=pkg:npm/lodash@4.17.21`)
- Returns subgraph containing package and neighbors
- Configurable depth and direction
2. **CVE Slice** (`?cve=CVE-2024-1234`)
- Returns all paths from entrypoints to vulnerable sinks
- Includes edge explanations for each hop
3. **Entrypoint Slice** (`?entrypoint=/app/bin/svc`)
- Returns everything reachable from entry
- Optionally filtered to paths reaching sinks
4. **File Slice** (`?file=src/**/*.ts`)
- Returns impact of changed files
- Useful for PR-based analysis
## Integration Points
### Upstream (Data Producers)
- **Scanner.CallGraph**: Produces nodes and edges with edge explanations
- **Signals**: Provides runtime confirmation of reachability
- **Attestor**: DSSE signing integration
### Downstream (Data Consumers)
- **Policy Engine**: `ReachabilityRequirementGate` queries slices
- **Web Console**: "Why Reachable?" panel displays paths
- **CLI**: `stella reachgraph slice/replay` commands
- **ExportCenter**: Includes subgraphs in evidence bundles
## Determinism Guarantees
1. **Canonical Serialization**
- Sorted object keys (lexicographic)
- Sorted arrays by deterministic field
- UTC ISO-8601 timestamps
- No null fields (omit when null)
2. **Replay Verification**
- POST `/v1/reachgraphs/replay` rebuilds from inputs
- Returns `{match: true}` if digests match
- Logs all attempts for audit trail
3. **Content Addressing**
- Same content always produces same digest
- Enables cache keying and deduplication
## Performance Characteristics
| Operation | Target Latency | Notes |
|-----------|---------------|-------|
| Slice query | P95 < 200ms | Cached in Valkey |
| Full graph retrieval | P95 < 500ms | Compressed storage |
| Upsert | P95 < 1s | Idempotent, gzip compression |
| Replay | P95 < 5s | Depends on input size |
## Security Considerations
1. **Tenant Isolation**: RLS policies enforce at database level
2. **Rate Limiting**: 100 req/min reads, 20 req/min writes
3. **DSSE Signing**: All artifacts verifiable offline
4. **Input Validation**: Schema validation on all requests
