StellaOps Bot 47168fec38 feat: Add VEX compact fixture and implement offline verifier for Findings Ledger exports
- Introduced a new VEX compact fixture for testing purposes.
- Implemented `verify_export.py` script to validate Findings Ledger exports, ensuring deterministic ordering and applying redaction manifests.
- Added a lightweight stub `HarnessRunner` for unit tests to validate ledger hashing expectations.
- Documented tasks related to the Mirror Creator.
- Created models for entropy signals and implemented the `EntropyPenaltyCalculator` to compute penalties based on scanner outputs.
- Developed unit tests for `EntropyPenaltyCalculator` to ensure correct penalty calculations and handling of edge cases.
- Added tests for symbol ID normalization in the reachability scanner.
- Enhanced console status service with comprehensive unit tests for connection handling and error recovery.
- Included Cosign tool version 2.6.0 with checksums for various platforms.

StellaOps Policy Engine

Policy Engine compiles and evaluates Stella DSL policies deterministically, producing explainable findings with full provenance.

Responsibilities

  • Compile stella-dsl@1 packs into executable graphs.
  • Join advisories, VEX evidence, and SBOM inventories to derive effective findings.
  • Expose simulation and diff APIs for UI/CLI workflows.
  • Emit change-stream driven events for Notify/Scheduler integrations.

Key components

  • StellaOps.Policy.Engine service host.
  • Shared libraries under StellaOps.Policy.* for evaluation, storage, DSL tooling.

Integrations & dependencies

  • MongoDB findings collections, RustFS explain bundles.
  • Scheduler for incremental re-evaluation triggers.
  • CLI/UI for policy authoring and runs.

Operational notes

  • DSL grammar and lifecycle docs in ../../policy/.
  • Observability guidance in ../../observability/policy.md.
  • Governance and scope mapping in ../../security/policy-governance.md.
  • Readiness briefs: ../policy/secret-leak-detection-readiness.md, ../policy/windows-package-readiness.md.
  • Readiness briefs: ../scanner/design/macos-analyzer.md, ../scanner/design/windows-analyzer.md, ../policy/secret-leak-detection-readiness.md, ../policy/windows-package-readiness.md.
  • Ruby capability predicates design: ./design/ruby-capability-predicates.md.

Backlog references

  • DOCS-POLICY-20-001 … DOCS-POLICY-20-012 (completed baseline).
  • DOCS-POLICY-23-007 (upcoming command updates).

Epic alignment

  • Epic 2 Policy Engine & Editor: deliver deterministic evaluation, DSL infrastructure, explain traces, and incremental runs.
  • Epic 4 Policy Studio: integrate registry workflows, simulation at scale, approvals, and promotion semantics.
