- Introduced AGENTS.md, README.md, TASKS.md, and implementation_plan.md for Vexer, detailing mission, responsibilities, key components, and operational notes. - Established similar documentation structure for Vulnerability Explorer and Zastava modules, including their respective workflows, integrations, and observability notes. - Created risk scoring profiles documentation outlining the core workflow, factor model, governance, and deliverables. - Ensured all modules adhere to the Aggregation-Only Contract and maintain determinism and provenance in outputs.

Concelier OSV Connector – Operations Notes
Last updated: 2025-10-16
The OSV connector ingests advisories from OSV.dev across OSS ecosystems. This note highlights the additional merge/export expectations introduced with the canonical metric fallback work in Sprint 4.
1. Canonical metric fallbacks
- When OSV omits CVSS vectors (common for CVSS v4-only payloads) the mapper now emits a deterministic canonical metric id in the form osv:severity/<level>and normalises the advisory severity to the same<level>.
- Metric: osv.map.canonical_metric_fallbacks(counter) with tagsseverity,canonical_metric_id,ecosystem,reason=no_cvss. Watch this alongside merge parity dashboards to catch spikes where OSV publishes severity-only advisories.
- Merge precedence still prefers GHSA over OSV; the shared severity-based canonical id keeps Merge/export parity deterministic even when only OSV supplies severity data.
2. CWE provenance
- database_specific.cwe_idsnow populates provenance decision reasons for every mapped weakness. Expect- decisionReason="database_specific.cwe_ids"on OSV weakness provenance and confirm exporters preserve the value.
- If OSV ever attaches database_specific.cwe_notes, the connector will surface the joined note string indecisionReasoninstead of the default marker.
3. Dashboards & alerts
- Extend existing merge dashboards with the new counter:
- Overlay sum(osv.map.canonical_metric_fallbacks{ecosystem=~".+"})with Merge severity overrides to confirm fallback advisories are reconciling cleanly.
- Alert when the 1-hour sum exceeds 50 for any ecosystem; baseline volume is currently <5 per day (mostly GHSA mirrors emitting CVSS v4 only).
 
- Overlay 
- Exporters already surface canonicalMetricId; no schema change is required, but ORAS/Trivy bundles should be spot-checked after deploying the connector update.
4. Runbook updates
- Fixture parity suites (osv-ghsa.*) now assert the fallback id and provenance notes. Regenerate viadotnet test src/Concelier/StellaOps.Concelier.PluginBinaries/StellaOps.Concelier.Connector.Osv.Tests/StellaOps.Concelier.Connector.Osv.Tests.csproj.
- When investigating merge severity conflicts, include the fallback counter and confirm OSV advisories carry the expected osv:severity/<level>id before raising connector bugs.
