feat: Add guild charters and task boards for various components
- Introduced guild charters for Scanner Deno, PHP, Ruby, Native, WebService, Java, Surface.Env, Surface.FS, Surface.Secrets, Surface.Validation, UI, Zastava Observer, Zastava Webhook, Zastava Core, and Plugin Platform.
- Each charter outlines the mission, scope, required reading, and working agreements for the respective guilds.
- Created task boards for Surface.Env, Surface.FS, Surface.Secrets, Surface.Validation, and Zastava components to track progress and dependencies.
- Ensured all documents emphasize determinism, offline readiness, security, and integration with shared Surface libraries.

# Surface.Validation Design (Epic: SURFACE-SHARING)
> **Status:** Draft v1.0 — aligns with tasks `SURFACE-VAL-01..05`, `LANG-SURFACE-01..03`, `ENTRYTRACE-SURFACE-01..02`, `ZASTAVA-SURFACE-02`, `SCANNER-SECRETS-01..03`.
>
> **Audience:** Engineers integrating Surface Env/FS/Secrets, QA guild, Security guild.
## 1. Objectives
Surface.Validation provides a shared validator framework to ensure all surface consumers meet configuration and data preconditions before performing work. It prevents subtle runtime errors by failing fast with actionable diagnostics.
## 2. Core Interfaces
```csharp
public interface ISurfaceValidator
{
ValueTask<ValidationResult> ValidateAsync(SurfaceValidationContext context, CancellationToken ct = default);
}
public sealed record SurfaceValidationContext
(
SurfaceEnvironmentSettings Environment,
IServiceProvider Services,
string ComponentName
);
public sealed record ValidationResult
(
bool IsSuccess,
IReadOnlyCollection<SurfaceValidationIssue> Issues
);
public sealed record SurfaceValidationIssue
(
string Code,
string Message,
SurfaceValidationSeverity Severity,
string? Hint = null
);
```
Validators register with DI (`services.AddSurfaceValidation()`). Hosts call `ISurfaceValidatorRunner.RunAllAsync()` during startup and periodically (optional) to re-check configuration.
## 3. Built-in Validators
| Code | Severity | Description |
|------|----------|-------------|
| `SURFACE_ENV_MISSING_ENDPOINT` | Error | Raised when `SurfaceFsEndpoint` absent. |
| `SURFACE_ENV_CACHE_DIR_UNWRITABLE` | Error | Cache root not writable or disk full. |
| `SURFACE_SECRET_MISSING` | Error | Secret provider cannot locate required secret type. |
| `SURFACE_SECRET_STALE` | Warning | Secret older than rotation window. |
| `SURFACE_FS_ENDPOINT_REACHABILITY` | Error | HEAD request to Surface.FS endpoint failed. |
| `SURFACE_FS_BUCKET_MISMATCH` | Error | Provided bucket does not exist / lacks permissions. |
| `SURFACE_FEATURE_UNKNOWN` | Warning | Feature flag not recognised. |
| `SURFACE_TENANT_MISMATCH` | Error | Tenant from environment differs from Authority token tenant. |
Validation pipeline stops on the first error (severity `Error`) unless `Surface:Validation:ContinueOnError=true` is set (useful for diagnostics mode).
## 4. Extensibility
Consumers can register custom validators:
```csharp
services.AddSurfaceValidation(builder =>
builder.AddValidator<RegistryCredentialsValidator>()
.AddValidator<RuntimeCacheWarmupValidator>());
```
Validators can access DI services (e.g., HttpClient, Authority token provider) through the context. To avoid long-running checks, recommended max validation time is 500ms per validator.
## 5. Reporting & Observability
- Results exposed via `ISurfaceValidationReporter` (default logs structured JSON to `Validation` category).
- Metrics: `surface_validation_issues_total{code,severity}`.
- Optional debug endpoint `/internal/surface/validation` (Scanner WebService) returns last validation run.
## 6. Integration Guidelines
- **Scanner Worker/WebService**: fail startup if any error-level issue occurs; log warnings but continue running.
- **Zastava Webhook**: treat validation errors as fatal (webhook should not enforce policies when surface preconditions fail). Display validation error summary in `/readyz` response to aid debugging.
- **Analysers**: call `SurfaceValidation.Ensure()` before executing heavy work to catch misconfiguration during integration tests.
## 7. Testing Strategy
- Unit tests for built-in validators using in-memory providers.
- Integration tests in Scanner/Zastava verifying validators run during startup and produce expected outcomes.
- Negative tests simulating missing secrets, unreachable endpoints, or mismatched tenants.
## 8. Error Handling & Remediation
- Each issue includes a hint describing remediation steps (e.g., “Verify `SCANNER_SURFACE_FS_ENDPOINT` is reachable from worker nodes”).
- DevOps runbooks should reference issue codes in troubleshooting sections.
- `surface_validation.json` file stored alongside application logs summarises the last run for offline support.
