| # component_architecture_web_ui.md — **Stella Ops Web UI** (2025Q4)
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| > **Scope.** Implementation‑ready architecture for the **Angular SPA** that operators and developers use to drive Stella Ops. This document defines UX surfaces, module boundaries, data flows, auth, RBAC, real‑time updates, performance targets, i18n/a11y, security headers, testing and deployment. The UI is a *consumer* of backend APIs (Scanner, Policy, Vexer, Feedser, Attestor, Authority) and never performs scanning, merging, or signing on its own.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 0) Mission & non‑goals
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| **Mission.** Provide a **fast, explainable** console for:
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * Scans (status, SBOMs, diffs, EntryTrace, attestation).
 | ||
| * Policy management (rules, exemptions, VEX consumption view).
 | ||
| * Vulnerability intel (Feedser status), VEX consensus exploration (Vexer).
 | ||
| * Runtime posture (Zastava observer + admission).
 | ||
| * Admin operations (tenants, tokens, quotas, licensing posture).
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| **Non‑goals.** No client‑side crypto signing; no Docker/CRI access; no direct registry access beyond fetching static assets or OCI referrer summaries exposed by backend.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 1) Technology baseline
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * **Framework**: Angular 17+ (Stand‑alone APIs / Signals), TypeScript 5.
 | ||
| * **Styling**: Tailwind CSS + headless component patterns; CSS variables for theming.
 | ||
| * **Charts**: Lightweight SVG (uPlot or Apache ECharts via on‑demand import).
 | ||
| * **State**: Angular **Signals** + `@ngrx/signals` store for cross‑page slices.
 | ||
| * **Transport**: `fetch` + RxJS interop; **SSE** (EventSource) for progress streams.
 | ||
| * **Build**: Angular CLI + Vite builder.
 | ||
| * **Testing**: Jest + Testing Library, Playwright for e2e.
 | ||
| * **Packaging**: Containerized NGINX (immutable assets, ETag + content hashing).
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 2) High‑level module map
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ```
 | ||
| /app
 | ||
|  ├─ core/                 # bootstrap, config, auth, http, error boundary, i18n
 | ||
|  ├─ shared/               # UI kit (tables, code-viewers, badges), pipes
 | ||
|  ├─ dashboard/            # live tiles, fleet KPIs, feed/vex age, queue depth
 | ||
|  ├─ scans/                # scan list, detail, SBOM viewer, diff-by-layer, EntryTrace
 | ||
|  ├─ runtime/              # Zastava posture, drift events, admission decisions
 | ||
|  ├─ policy/               # rules editor (YAML/Rego), exemptions, previews
 | ||
|  ├─ vex/                  # VEX explorer (claims, consensus, conflicts)
 | ||
|  ├─ feedser/              # source health, export cursors, rebuild/export triggers
 | ||
|  ├─ attest/               # attestation proofs, verification bundles, Rekor links
 | ||
|  ├─ admin/                # tenants, roles, clients, quotas, licensing posture
 | ||
|  └─ plugins/              # route plug-ins (lazy remote modules, governed)
 | ||
| ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Each feature folder builds as a **standalone route** (lazy loaded). All HTTP shapes live in `core/api/` clients with shared DTOs.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 3) Navigation & key views
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ### 3.1 Dashboard
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * **Tiles**: “New criticals (24h)”, “VEX suppressions applied”, “Attested SBOMs (7d)”, “Feed age per provider”, “Scanner queue depth”, “Admission events”.
 | ||
| * **Trends**: sparkline for vulns/day, pass/fail rates, attestation throughput.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ### 3.2 Scans
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * **Scan list** with status, image digest, repo, time, artifacts, attestation badge.
 | ||
| * **Scan detail**:
 | ||
| 
 | ||
|   * **SBOM viewer**: Inventory/Usage toggle; component table (virtualized), filters by package type, severity, source.
 | ||
|   * **Diff by layer**: A→B change grid (added/removed/upgraded), grouped by introducing/removing layer; tooltips show provenance and links to layer SBOM fragment.
 | ||
|   * **EntryTrace**: shell chain with file:line breadcrumbs; jump‑to source viewer (read‑only, hexdump fallback).
 | ||
|   * **Attestation**: Rekor UUID, index, inclusion proof; **Verify** button calls Attestor `/verify`.
 | ||
|   * **Export**: download buttons (CycloneDX JSON, Protobuf, SPDX JSON); size shown; SHA‑256 inline.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ### 3.3 Runtime (Zastava)
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * **Observer timeline**: container start/stop, drift, policy violations; faceted by namespace/owner.
 | ||
| * **Live process view**: top N processes, loaded libs summary vs Usage SBOM.
 | ||
| * **Admission decisions**: per‑namespace rules, allow/deny events, cache TTL, reasons.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ### 3.4 Policy
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * **Policy bundles**: active vs staged; diff viewer with change summary.
 | ||
| * **Editors**:
 | ||
| 
 | ||
|   * YAML rules (ignore lists, thresholds, vendor precedence overrides).
 | ||
|   * Rego blocks (advanced gates) with **WASM** preview evaluator (client‑side sandbox) for “preview” against sample SBOMs.
 | ||
| * **VEX inclusion controls**: weight sliders (visualization only), provider allow/deny toggles.
 | ||
| * **Preview**: select SBOM (or image digest) → show verdict under staged policy.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ### 3.5 Vexer
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * **Claims explorer**: search by vulnId/productKey/provider; show raw claim (status, justification, evidence).
 | ||
| * **Consensus view**: rollup per (vuln, product) with accepted/rejected sources, weights, timestamps.
 | ||
| * **Conflicts**: grid of top conflicts; filters for justification gates failed.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ### 3.6 Feedser
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * **Sources** table: staleness, last run, errors.
 | ||
| * **Advisory search**: by CVE/alias; show normalized affected ranges.
 | ||
| * **Exports**: trigger full/delta JSON/Trivy DB; show manifest digests and Rekor link if attested.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ### 3.7 Attest
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * **Proofs list**: last 7 days Rekor entries; filter by kind (sbom/report/vex).
 | ||
| * **Verification**: paste UUID or upload bundle → verify; result with explanations (chain, Merkle path).
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ### 3.8 Admin
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * **Tenants/Installations**: view/edit, isolation hints.
 | ||
| * **Clients & roles**: Authority clients, role→scope mapping, rotation hints.
 | ||
| * **Quotas**: per license plan, counters, throttle events.
 | ||
| * **Licensing posture**: last PoE introspection snapshot (redacted), release window.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 4) Auth, sessions & RBAC
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ### 4.1 OIDC flow
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * **Authorization Code + PKCE** to **Authority**.
 | ||
| * **ID Token** for UX identity; **Access Token** (OpTok) for APIs (2–5 min TTL).
 | ||
| * **DPoP (browser)**: generate ephemeral **WebCrypto** keypair; store public JWK in memory, private key in **IndexedDB** (non‑exportable if platform allows). Access token includes `cnf.jkt`; each API call adds `DPoP` proof; handle nonce challenges automatically.
 | ||
| * **Refresh**: optional DPoP‑bound refresh tokens with rotation; otherwise silent renew.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ### 4.2 RBAC
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * Roles (`ui.read`, `ui.admin`, plus service roles) are embedded in ID token or fetched via `/me` endpoint.
 | ||
| * **Route guards** enforce access; **feature flags** hide admin pages for non‑admins.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ### 4.3 Session storage
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * Access tokens & refresh metadata in memory; persist **only** minimal session (subject, expiries) in `sessionStorage`. Never persist raw JWTs to `localStorage`. Use **SameSite=Lax** cookies for anti‑CSRF if cookies are required (prefer pure bearer headers + DPoP).
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 5) HTTP layer & API clients
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * **`core/http/api-client.ts`** centralizes:
 | ||
| 
 | ||
|   * Base URLs (Scanner, Vexer, Feedser, Attestor).
 | ||
|   * **Retry** policies on idempotent GETs (backoff + jitter).
 | ||
|   * **Problem+JSON** parser → uniform error toasts with correlation ID.
 | ||
|   * **SSE** helper (EventSource) with auto‑reconnect & backpressure.
 | ||
|   * **DPoP** injector & nonce handling.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * Typed API clients (DTOs in `core/api/models.ts`):
 | ||
| 
 | ||
|   * `ScannerApi`, `PolicyApi`, `VexerApi`, `FeedserApi`, `AttestorApi`, `AuthorityApi`.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| **DTO examples (abbrev):**
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ```ts
 | ||
| export type ImageDigest = `sha256:${string}`;
 | ||
| export interface ScanSummary {
 | ||
|   imageDigest: ImageDigest; createdAt: string;
 | ||
|   artifacts: { view: 'inventory'|'usage'; format: 'cdx-json'|'cdx-pb'|'spdx-json'; sha256: string; size: number }[];
 | ||
|   status: 'queued'|'running'|'completed'|'error';
 | ||
|   rekor?: { uuid: string; index?: number; url?: string };
 | ||
| }
 | ||
| export interface DiffEntry {
 | ||
|   key: string; change: 'added'|'removed'|'upgraded'|'downgraded';
 | ||
|   fromVersion?: string; toVersion?: string; layer: string; usedByEntrypoint?: boolean;
 | ||
| }
 | ||
| export interface VexConsensus {
 | ||
|   vulnId: string; productKey: string; rollupStatus: 'affected'|'not_affected'|'fixed'|'under_investigation';
 | ||
|   sources: { providerId: string; status: string; weight: number; accepted: boolean; reason: string }[];
 | ||
| }
 | ||
| ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 6) State, caching & real‑time
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * **Per‑page stores** (Signals) for list filters, pagination, and selected entities.
 | ||
| * **Normalized caches** keyed by `(imageDigest, view, format)`; artifacts are downloaded via pre‑signed URLs from Scanner and streamed; SHA‑256 verified client‑side before exposing “verified” badge.
 | ||
| * **SSE channels**:
 | ||
| 
 | ||
|   * `/scans/{id}/events` → progress log.
 | ||
|   * `/runtime/events/stream` (optional) → live drift/admission feed (rate‑limited).
 | ||
| * **Cache invalidation** on job completion or explicit “refresh”.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 7) SBOM viewing & diff UX
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * **Huge tables** rendered with **virtual scrolling** (CDK Virtual Scroll); sort/filter performed client‑side for ≤ 20k rows; beyond that, server‑side queries via BOM‑Index endpoints.
 | ||
| * **Component row** shows purl, version, origin (OS pkg / metadata / linker / attested), licenses, and **used** badge (Usage view).
 | ||
| * **Diff**: compact heatmap per layer; clicking opens a right‑pane with evidence: introducing paths, file hashes, VEX notes (from Vexer consensus) and links to advisories (Feedser).
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 8) Policy editor & VEX integration
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * **YAML editor**: Monaco‑based with schema hints; previews show which rules matched.
 | ||
| * **Rego editor**: Monaco with WASM‑OPA sandbox for read‑only evaluation on sample SBOMs.
 | ||
| * **VEX toggles**: per‑provider enable/disable; “explain” drawer shows why a claim was accepted/rejected (justification gate, signature state, weight).
 | ||
| * **Staged → Active** promotion is a two‑step flow with confirmation and automatic policy digest computation.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 9) Accessibility, i18n & theming
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * **A11y**: WCAG 2.2 AA; keyboard navigation, focus management, ARIA roles; color‑contrast tokens verified by unit tests.
 | ||
| * **I18n**: Angular i18n + runtime translation loader (`/locales/{lang}.json`); dates/numbers localized via `Intl`.
 | ||
| * **Languages**: English default; Bulgarian, German, Japanese as initial additions.
 | ||
| * **Theming**: dark/light via CSS variables; persisted in `prefers-color-scheme` aware store.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 10) Performance budgets
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * **TTI** ≤ 1.5 s on 4G/slow CPU (first visit), ≤ 0.6 s repeat (HTTP/2, cached).
 | ||
| * **JS** initial < 300 KB gz (lazy routes).
 | ||
| * **SBOM list**: render 10k rows in < 70 ms with virtualization; filter in < 150 ms.
 | ||
| * **Diff view**: compute client‑side grouping for 5k changes in < 120 ms.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Techniques: route‑level code splitting; `ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush`; Signals; server compression (zstd/gzip), immutable assets with long max‑age (cache busting via hashes).
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 11) Security headers & CSP
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * **CSP**: `default-src 'self'; connect-src 'self' https://*.internal; img-src 'self' data:; script-src 'self'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; frame-ancestors 'none';`
 | ||
| * **HSTS** enabled at gateway.
 | ||
| * **Referrer Policy**: `no-referrer`.
 | ||
| * **X‑Frame‑Options**: `DENY`.
 | ||
| * **COOP/COEP** to enable faster cross‑origin isolation (for WASM OPA).
 | ||
| * **Subresource Integrity (SRI)** for third‑party fonts (minimize third‑party).
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 12) Error handling & UX hygiene
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * **Global error boundary** surfaces Problem+JSON `title/detail/instance` with correlation ID.
 | ||
| * **Retry toast** for 429 (quota throttles) with backoff timer.
 | ||
| * **Auth expiry**: pre‑emptive refresh; unobtrusive banner when < 60 s TTL; re‑login modal if refresh fails.
 | ||
| * **Network down**: offline banner with queued actions (idempotent resubmits).
 | ||
| * **File verify**: show SHA‑256 mismatch warnings if artifact altered in transit.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 13) Observability
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * **Front‑end telemetry** (OpenTelemetry Web): route timings, API latency by service, error counts; sampled to 1–5% and shipped to backend OTLP endpoint.
 | ||
| * **User actions** logged anonymously (no PII): “policy promote”, “scan export”, “attest verify”.
 | ||
| * **Metrics dash** in admin shows SLOs and recent front‑end errors.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 14) Testing strategy
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * **Unit**: pure component logic via Jest + Testing Library (no TestBed when possible).
 | ||
| * **Component harness** for table, code viewer, diff heatmap.
 | ||
| * **Contract tests**: OpenAPI schemas pulled at build time; DTOs validated; breaking changes fail CI.
 | ||
| * **e2e**: Playwright scenarios (login, scan detail, diff, policy edit, admit deny).
 | ||
| * **A11y**: axe-core CI checks; color‑contrast lints.
 | ||
| * **i18n**: key coverage tests (no missing translations in supported locales).
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 15) Deployment & ops
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * **Container**: `stellaops/web-ui:<ver>-<rev>`; NGINX with `gzip_static` + brotli; immutable assets under `/static/<hash>/…`.
 | ||
| * **Config**: `/config.json` served by gateway (injected at runtime): API base URLs, authority issuer, telemetry sampling.
 | ||
| * **Version banner**: footer shows UI & backend versions; warns on major mismatches.
 | ||
| * **CDN** (optional): cache static bundle; APIs stay behind internal gateway.
 | ||
| * **Feature flags**: environment gates (staged policies, eBPF runtime) readable from config.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 16) Plugin system (route plug‑ins)
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * **Manifest**: Backend provides a signed plug‑in manifest with remote module URLs and **cosign signature** per JS bundle.
 | ||
| * **Loader**: dynamic import with **SRI** and signature verification (WebCrypto).
 | ||
| * **Sandbox**: plug‑ins are routed modules receiving a limited **UI SDK** (navigation, theme, API gateway). No direct token access; API calls proxied through the UI SDK which enforces RBAC.
 | ||
| * **Examples**: custom reports, vendor dashboards, regulated TLS config UIs.
 | ||
|

 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 17) Wire sequences (representative)
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| **A) View scan progress**
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ```mermaid
 | ||
| sequenceDiagram
 | ||
|   autonumber
 | ||
|   participant UI
 | ||
|   participant Auth as Authority
 | ||
|   participant SW as Scanner.WebService
 | ||
| 
 | ||
|   UI->>Auth: /authorize (PKCE)
 | ||
|   Auth-->>UI: code → token (DPoP-bound)
 | ||
|   UI->>SW: GET /scans/{id} (Authorization+DPoP)
 | ||
|   SW-->>UI: { status: running }
 | ||
|   UI->>SW: (SSE) GET /scans/{id}/events
 | ||
|   SW-->>UI: progress events …
 | ||
|   SW-->>UI: terminal event { status: completed, artifacts[] }
 | ||
| ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| **B) Verify attestation**
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ```mermaid
 | ||
| sequenceDiagram
 | ||
|   autonumber
 | ||
|   participant UI
 | ||
|   participant AT as Attestor
 | ||
|   UI->>AT: POST /rekor/verify { uuid }
 | ||
|   AT-->>UI: { ok:true, index, logURL }
 | ||
| ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| **C) Promote policy & preview**
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ```mermaid
 | ||
| sequenceDiagram
 | ||
|   autonumber
 | ||
|   participant UI
 | ||
|   participant BE as Scanner.WebService (Policy endpoint)
 | ||
|   UI->>BE: POST /policy/stage { yaml, rego }
 | ||
|   BE-->>UI: { policyRevision, diagnostics }
 | ||
|   UI->>BE: POST /policy/preview { imageDigest, policyRevision }
 | ||
|   BE-->>UI: { verdict: pass|fail, reasons[] }
 | ||
|   UI->>BE: POST /policy/promote { policyRevision }
 | ||
|   BE-->>UI: { ok:true }
 | ||
| ```
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 18) Security hard lines
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * Never store JWTs in `localStorage`.
 | ||
| * Enforce DPoP for API calls; if DPoP unsupported for a service, require **SameSite=Lax** cookies with CSRF token header.
 | ||
| * Block mixed‑content; only HTTPS origins allowed.
 | ||
| * Validate and render only **escaped** user content; code viewer uses safe highlighter.
 | ||
| * Downloaded artifacts are treated as **opaque binaries**; no HTML rendering.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ---
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| ## 19) Roadmap
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| * **PWA** offline shell (read‑only) for dashboards and cached scan details.
 | ||
| * **SBOM graph** visualization (force‑directed) for small components sets.
 | ||
| * **Runtime session replay** (privacy‑safe) to debug operator workflows (opt‑in).
 | ||
| * **Assistive wizards** for policy creation with guided templates.
 |
