- 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.

StellaOps Console - Runs Workspace
Audience: Scheduler Guild, Console UX, operators, support engineers.
Scope: Runs dashboard, live progress, queue management, diffs, retries, evidence downloads, observability, troubleshooting, and offline behaviour (Sprint 23).
The Runs workspace surfaces Scheduler activity across tenants: upcoming schedules, active runs, progress, deltas, and evidence bundles. It helps operators monitor backlog, drill into run segments, and recover from failures without leaving the console.
1. Access and prerequisites
- Route:
/console/runs(list) with detail drawer/console/runs/:runId. SSE stream at/console/runs/:runId/stream. - Scopes:
runs.read(baseline),runs.manage(cancel/retry),policy:runs(view policy deltas),downloads.read(evidence bundles). - Dependencies: Scheduler WebService (
/runs,/schedules,/preview), Scheduler Worker event feeds, Policy Engine run summaries, Scanner WebService evidence endpoints. - Feature flags:
runs.dashboard.enabled,runs.sse.enabled,runs.retry.enabled,runs.evidenceBundles. - Tenancy: Tenant selector filters list; cross-tenant admins can pin multiple tenants side-by-side (split view).
2. Layout overview
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Header: Tenant badge - schedule selector - backlog metrics |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Cards: Active runs - Queue depth - New findings - KEV deltas |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Tabs: Active | Completed | Scheduled | Failures |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Runs table (virtualised) |
| Columns: Run ID | Trigger | State | Progress | Duration | Deltas |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Detail drawer: Summary | Segments | Deltas | Evidence | Logs |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
The header integrates the status ticker to show ingestion deltas and planner heartbeat.
3. Runs table
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Run ID | Deterministic identifier (run:<tenant>:<timestamp>:<nonce>). Clicking opens detail drawer. |
| Trigger | cron, manual, feedser, vexer, policy, content-refresh. Tooltip lists schedule and initiator. |
| State | Badges: planning, queued, running, completed, cancelled, error. Errors include error code (e.g., ERR_RUN_005). |
| Progress | Percentage + processed/total candidates. SSE updates increment in real time. |
| Duration | Elapsed time (auto-updating). Completed runs show total duration; running runs show timer. |
| Deltas | Count of findings deltas (+critical, +high, -quieted, etc.). Tooltip expands severity breakdown. |
Row badges include KEV first, Content refresh, Policy promotion follow-up, and Retry. Selecting multiple rows enables bulk downloads and exports.
Filters: trigger type, state, schedule, severity impact (critical/high), policy revision, timeframe, planner shard, error code.
4. Detail drawer
Sections:
- Summary - run metadata (tenant, trigger, linked schedule, planner shard count, started/finished timestamps, correlation ID).
- Progress - segmented progress bar (planner, queue, execution, post-processing). Real-time updates via SSE; includes throughput (targets per minute).
- Segments - table of run segments with state, target count, executor, retry count. Operators can retry failed segments individually (requires
runs.manage). - Deltas - summary of findings changes (new findings, resolved findings, severity shifts, KEV additions). Links to Findings view filtered by run ID.
- Evidence - links to evidence bundles (JSON manifest, DSSE attestation), policy run records, and explain bundles. Download buttons use
/console/exportsorchestration. - Logs - last 50 structured log entries with severity, message, correlation ID; scroll-to-live for streaming logs.
Open in logscopies query for external log tooling.
5. Queue and schedule management
- Schedule side panel lists upcoming jobs with cron expressions, time zones, and enable toggles.
- Queue depth chart shows current backlog per tenant and schedule (planner backlog, executor backlog).
- "Preview impact" button opens modal for manual run planning (purls or vuln IDs) and shows impacted image count before launch. CLI parity:
stella runs preview --tenant <id> --file keys.json. - Manual run form allows selecting mode (
analysis-only,content-refresh), scope, and optional policy snapshot. - Pausing a schedule requires confirmation; UI displays earliest next run after resume.
6. Live updates and SSE stream
- SSE endpoint
/console/runs/{id}/streamstreams JSON events (stateChanged,segmentProgress,deltaSummary,log). UI reconnects with exponential backoff and heartbeat. - Global ticker shows planner heartbeat age; banner warns after 90 seconds of silence.
- Offline mode disables SSE and falls back to polling every 30 seconds.
7. Retry and remediation
- Failed segments show retry button; UI displays reason and cooldown timers. Retry actions are scope-gated and logged.
- Full run retry resets segments while preserving original run metadata; new run ID references previous run in
retryOffield. - "Escalate to support" button opens incident template pre-filled with run context and correlation IDs.
- Troubleshooting quick links:
ERR_RUN_001(planner lock)ERR_RUN_005(Scanner timeout)ERR_RUN_009(impact index stale)
Each link points to corresponding runbook sections (docs/modules/scheduler/operations/worker.md).
- CLI parity:
stella runs retry --run <id>,stella runs cancel --run <id>.
8. Evidence downloads
- Evidence tab aggregates:
- Policy run summary (
/policy/runs/{id}) - Findings delta CSV (
/downloads/findings/{runId}.csv) - Scanner evidence bundle (compressed JSON with manifest)
- Policy run summary (
- Downloads show size, hash, signature status.
- "Bundle for offline" packages all evidence into single tarball with manifest/digest; UI notes CLI parity (
stella runs export --run <id> --bundle). - Completed bundles stored in Downloads workspace for reuse (links provided).
9. Observability
- Metrics cards:
scheduler_queue_depth,scheduler_runs_active,scheduler_runs_error_total,scheduler_runs_duration_seconds. - Trend charts: queue depth (last 24h), runs per trigger, average duration, determinism score.
- Alert banners: planner lag > SLA, queue depth > threshold, repeated error codes.
- Telemetry panel lists latest events (e.g.,
scheduler.run.started,scheduler.run.completed,scheduler.run.failed).
10. Offline and air-gap behaviour
- Offline banner highlights snapshot timestamp and indicates SSE disabled.
- Manual run form switches to generate CLI script for offline execution (
stella runs submit --bundle <file>). - Evidence download buttons output local paths; UI reminds to copy to removable media.
- Queue charts use snapshot data; manual refresh button loads latest records from Offline Kit.
- Tenants absent from snapshot hidden to avoid partial data.
11. Screenshot coordination
- Placeholders:

- Coordinate with Scheduler Guild for updated screenshots after Sprint 23 UI stabilises (tracked in
#console-screenshots, entry 2025-10-26).
