| # Policy Editor Workspace
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| > **Audience:** Product/UX, UI engineers, policy authors/reviewers using the Console.  
 | ||
| > **Scope:** Layout, features, RBAC, a11y, simulation workflow, approvals, run dashboards, and offline considerations for the Policy Engine v2 editor (“Policy Studio”).
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| The Policy Editor is the primary Console workspace for composing, simulating, and approving `stella-dsl@1` policies. It combines Monaco-based editing, diff visualisations, and governance tools so authors and reviewers can collaborate without leaving the browser.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 1 · Access & Prerequisites
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| - **Routes:** `/console/policy` (list) → `/console/policy/:policyId/:version?`.
 | ||
| - **Scopes:** 
 | ||
|   - `policy:write` to edit drafts, run lint/compile, attach simulations.
 | ||
|   - `policy:submit` / `policy:review` / `policy:approve` for workflow actions.
 | ||
|   - `policy:run` to trigger runs, `policy:runs` to inspect history.
 | ||
|   - `findings:read` to open explain drawers.
 | ||
| - **Feature flags:** `policyStudio.enabled` (defaults true once Policy Engine v2 API available).
 | ||
| - **Browser support:** Evergreen Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari (last two versions). Uses WASM OPA sandbox; ensure COOP/COEP enabled per [UI architecture](../ARCHITECTURE_UI.md).
 | ||

 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 2 · Workspace Layout
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ```
 | ||
| ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
 | ||
| │ Header: Policy selector • tenant switch • last activation banner           │
 | ||
| ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
 | ||
| │ Sidebar (left)      │ Main content (right)                                 │
 | ||
| │ - Revision list      │ ┌───────────── Editor tabs ───────────────┐         │
 | ||
| │ - Checklist status   │ │  DSL  │  Simulation  │  Approvals  │ ... │         │
 | ||
| │ - Pending reviews    │ └─────────────────────────────────────────┘         │
 | ||
| │ - Run backlog        │                                                     │
 | ||
| │                      │ Editor pane / Simulation diff / Run viewer          │
 | ||
| └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
 | ||
| ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| - **Sidebar:** Revision timeline (draft, submitted, approved), compliance checklist cards, outstanding review requests, run backlog (incremental queue depth and SLA).
 | ||
| - **Editor tabs:** 
 | ||
|   - *DSL* (primary Monaco editor)
 | ||
|   - *Simulation* (pre/post diff charts)
 | ||
|   - *Approvals* (comments, audit log)
 | ||
|   - *Runs* (heatmap dashboards)
 | ||
|   - *Explain Explorer* (optional drawer for findings)
 | ||
| - **Right rail:** context cards for VEX providers, policy metadata, quick links to CLI/API docs.
 | ||
|

| > Placeholder screenshot: `` (add after UI team captures latest build).
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 3 · Editing Experience
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| - Monaco editor configured for `stella-dsl@1`:
 | ||
|   - Syntax highlighting, IntelliSense for rule/action names, snippets for common patterns.
 | ||
|   - Inline diagnostics sourced from `/policies/{id}/lint` and `/compile`.
 | ||
|   - Code actions (“Fix indentation”, “Insert requireVex block”).
 | ||
|   - Mini-map disabled by default to reduce contrast noise; toggle available.
 | ||
| - **Keyboard shortcuts (accessible via `?`):**
 | ||
|   - `Ctrl/Cmd + S` – Save draft (uploads to API if changed).
 | ||
|   - `Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + Enter` – Run lint + compile.
 | ||
|   - `Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + D` – Open diff view vs baseline.
 | ||
|   - `Alt + Shift + F` – Format document (canonical ordering).
 | ||
| - **Schema tooltips:** Hover on `profile`, `rule`, `action` to view documentation (sourced from DSL doc).
 | ||
| - **Offline warnings:** When `sealed` mode detected, banner reminds authors to validate with offline bundle.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 4 · Simulation & Diff Panel
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| - Triggered via “Run simulation” (toolbar) or automatically after compile.
 | ||
| - Displays:
 | ||
|   - **Summary cards:** total findings added/removed/unchanged; severity up/down counts.
 | ||
|   - **Rule hit table:** top rules contributing to diffs with percentage change.
 | ||
|   - **Component list:** virtualised table linking to explain drawer; supports filters (severity, status, VEX outcome).
 | ||
|   - **Visualisations:** stacked bar chart (severity deltas), sparkline for incremental backlog impact.
 | ||
| - Supports run presets:
 | ||
|   - `Golden SBOM set` (default)
 | ||
|   - Custom SBOM selection (via multi-select and search)
 | ||
|   - Import sample JSON from CLI (`Upload diff`).
 | ||
| - Diff export options:
 | ||
|   - `Download JSON` (same schema as CLI output)
 | ||
|   - `Copy as Markdown` for review comments
 | ||
| - Simulation results persist per draft version; history accessible via timeline.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 5 · Review & Approval Workflow
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| - **Commenting:** Line-level comments anchored to DSL lines; global comments supported. Uses rich text (Markdown subset) with mention support (`@group/sec-reviewers`).
 | ||
| - **Resolution:** Approvers/reviewers can mark comment resolved; history preserved in timeline.
 | ||
| - **Approval pane:** 
 | ||
|   - Checklist (lint, simulation, determinism CI) with status indicators; links to evidence.
 | ||
|   - Reviewer checklist (quorum, blocking comments).
 | ||
|   - Approval button only enabled when checklist satisfied.
 | ||
| - **Audit log:** Chronological view of submit/review/approve/archive events with actor, timestamp, note, attachments.
 | ||
| - **RBAC feedback:** When user lacks permission, actions are disabled with tooltip referencing required scope(s).
 | ||
| - **Notifications:** Integration with Notifier—subscribe/unsubscribe from review reminders within panel.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 6 · Runs & Observability
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| - **Run tab** consumes `/policy/runs` data:
 | ||
|   - Heatmap of rule hits per run (rows = runs, columns = top rules).
 | ||
|   - VEX override counter, suppressions, quieted findings metrics.
 | ||
|   - Incremental backlog widget (queue depth vs SLA).
 | ||
|   - Export CSV/JSON button.
 | ||
| - **Replay/Download:** For each run, actions to download sealed replay bundle or open CLI command snippet.
 | ||
| - **Alert banners:** 
 | ||
|   - Determinism mismatch (red)
 | ||
|   - SLA breach (amber)
 | ||
|   - Pending replay (info)
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 7 · Explain & Findings Integration
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| - Inline “Open in Findings” button for any diff entry; opens side drawer with explain trace (same schema as `/findings/*/explain`).
 | ||
| - Drawer includes:
 | ||
|   - Rule sequence with badges (block/warn/quiet).
 | ||
|   - VEX evidence and justification codes.
 | ||
|   - Links to advisories (Concelier) and SBOM components.
 | ||
| - Copy-to-clipboard (JSON) and “Share permalink” features (permalinks encode tenant, policy version, component).
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 8 · Accessibility & i18n
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| - WCAG 2.2 AA:
 | ||
|   - Focus order follows logical workflow; skip link available.
 | ||
|   - All actionable icons paired with text or `aria-label`.
 | ||
|   - Simulation charts include table equivalents for screen readers.
 | ||
| - Keyboard support:
 | ||
|   - `Alt+1/2/3/4` to switch tabs.
 | ||
|   - `Shift+?` toggles help overlay (with key map).
 | ||
| - Internationalisation:
 | ||
|   - Translations sourced from `/locales/{lang}.json`.
 | ||
|   - Date/time displayed using user locale via `Intl.DateTimeFormat`.
 | ||
| - Theming:
 | ||
|   - Light/dark CSS tokens; Monaco theme syncs with overall theme.
 | ||
|   - High-contrast mode toggled via user preferences.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 9 · Offline & Air-Gap Behaviour
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| - When console operates in sealed enclave:
 | ||
|   - Editor displays “Sealed mode” banner with import timestamp.
 | ||
|   - Simulation uses cached SBOM/advisory/VEX data only; results flagged accordingly.
 | ||
|   - “Export bundle” button packages draft + simulations for transfer.
 | ||
| - Approvals require local Authority; UI blocks actions if `policy:approve` scope absent due to offline token limitations.
 | ||
| - Run tab surfaces bundle staleness warnings (`policy_runs.inputs.env.sealed=true`).
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 10 · Telemetry & Testing Hooks
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| - User actions (simulate, submit, approve, activate) emit telemetry (`ui.policy.action` spans) with anonymised metadata.
 | ||
| - Console surfaces correlation IDs for lint/compile errors to ease support triage.
 | ||
| - Cypress/Playwright fixtures available under `ui/policy-editor/examples/`; docs should note to re-record after significant UI changes.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 11 · Compliance Checklist
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| - [ ] **Lint integration:** Editor surfaces diagnostics from API compile endpoint; errors link to DSL documentation.
 | ||
| - [ ] **Simulation parity:** Diff panel mirrors CLI schema; export button tested.
 | ||
| - [ ] **Workflow RBAC:** Buttons enable/disable correctly per scope (`policy:write/submit/review/approve`).
 | ||
| - [ ] **A11y verified:** Keyboard navigation, focus management, colour contrast (light/dark) pass automated Axe checks.
 | ||
| - [ ] **Offline safeguards:** Sealed-mode banner and bundle export flows present; no network calls trigger in sealed mode.
 | ||
| - [ ] **Telemetry wired:** Action spans and error logs include policyId, version, traceId.
 | ||
| - [ ] **Docs cross-links:** Links to DSL, lifecycle, runs, API, CLI guides validated.
 | ||
| - [ ] **Screenshot placeholders updated:** Replace TODO images with latest UI captures before GA.
