StellaOps Bot 7503c19b8f Add determinism tests for verdict artifact generation and update SHA256 sums script
- Implemented comprehensive tests for verdict artifact generation to ensure deterministic outputs across various scenarios, including identical inputs, parallel execution, and change ordering.
- Created helper methods for generating sample verdict inputs and computing canonical hashes.
- Added tests to validate the stability of canonical hashes, proof spine ordering, and summary statistics.
- Introduced a new PowerShell script to update SHA256 sums for files, ensuring accurate hash generation and file integrity checks.

CLI Exceptions Guide

The stella exceptions command group manages exception governance objects (list/show/create/promote/revoke/import/export). Exceptions are tenant-scoped and intended to be time-bound and auditable.

Common Options

  • --tenant, -t — tenant scope for the operation
  • --json — output structured JSON (where supported)
  • --verbose — print additional diagnostic context

Commands

List

stella exceptions list

Filters:

  • --vuln <id> — CVE or alias
  • --scope-type <purl|image|component|tenant>
  • --scope-value <value> — purl string, image ref, component key, etc.
  • --status, -s <draft|staged|active|expired|revoked> (repeatable)
  • --owner <string>
  • --effect <suppress|defer|downgrade|requireControl>
  • --expiring-within-days <n>
  • --include-expired
  • --page-size <n> (default: 50)
  • --page-token <token>
  • --csv — output CSV (implies structured output)

Show

stella exceptions show <exception-id>

Create

stella exceptions create --vuln <id> --scope-type <type> --scope-value <value> --effect <effect> --justification <text> --owner <owner>

Options:

  • --expiration <iso8601|+30d|+90d> — expiration date/time or relative duration
  • --evidence <type:uri> (repeatable) — evidence references
  • --policy <policy-id-or-version> — bind exception to a policy profile/version
  • --stage — create directly as staged (skip draft)

Promote

stella exceptions promote <exception-id>

Options:

  • --target <staged|active> — target status (default: next stage)
  • --comment <text> — audit log comment

Revoke

stella exceptions revoke <exception-id>

Options:

  • --reason <text> — audit log reason

Import

stella exceptions import <file>

Imports exceptions from an NDJSON file.

Options:

  • --stage (default: true) — import as staged
  • --source <label> — source label stored with imported records

Export

stella exceptions export --output <path>

Options:

  • --status, -s <...> (repeatable) — filter by status
  • --format <ndjson|json> (default: ndjson)
  • --signed — request a signed export (DSSE) when Attestor is enabled

Offline / Air-Gap Usage

  • import and export are the primary offline workflows for moving exception sets between environments.
  • Prefer NDJSON for deterministic diffs and review workflows.
  • Keep exception data tenant-scoped; cross-tenant bundles should be treated as an explicit, audited workflow.
