StellaOps CLI
The stella CLI is the operator-facing Swiss army knife for scans, exports, policy management, offline kit operations, and automation scripting.
Responsibilities
- Deliver deterministic verbs for scan, diff, export, policy, and observability operations.
- Handle interactive and non-interactive authentication via Authority (seeded human username/password bootstrap, client credentials for automation).
- Support offline kit workflows including bundle verification and seed installation.
- Expose JSON outputs suitable for CI parity and golden tests.
Key components
StellaOps.Clinative AOT host.- Shared helpers in
StellaOps.Cli.Core. - Restart-time plug-ins under
StellaOps.Cli.Plugins.*.
Integrations & dependencies
- Authority for token exchange.
- Backend APIs (Scanner, Policy, Export Center, Notify).
- Offline kit bundles and local keychain/DPoP storage.
Operational notes
- Deterministic output fixtures under
src/Cli/StellaOps.Cli.Tests. - Versioned command docs in
docs/modules/cli/guides. - Plugin catalogue in
plugins/cli/**(restart-only).
