Sprint 3800.0000.0000 - Layered Binary + Call-Stack Reachability (Epic Summary)

Topic & Scope

  • Deliver the layered binary reachability program spanning disassembly, CVE-to-symbol mapping, attestable slices, APIs, VEX automation, runtime traces, and OCI+CLI distribution.
  • Provide an epic-level tracker for the Sprint 3800 series and its cross-module dependencies.
  • Working directory: docs/implplan/.

Overview

This epic implements the two-stage reachability map as described in the product advisory "Layered binary + call-stack reachability" (20-Dec-2025). It extends StellaOps' reachability analysis with:

  1. Deeper binary analysis - Disassembly-based call edge extraction
  2. CVE-to-symbol mapping - Connect vulnerabilities to specific binary functions
  3. Attestable slices - Minimal proof units for triage decisions
  4. Query & replay APIs - On-demand reachability queries with verification
  5. VEX automation - Auto-generate code_not_reachable justifications
  6. Runtime traces - eBPF/ETW-based observed path evidence
  7. OCI storage & CLI - Artifact management and command-line tools

Documentation

Document Location Sprint
Slice schema specification docs/reachability/slice-schema.md 3810
CVE-to-symbol mapping guide docs/reachability/cve-symbol-mapping.md 3810
Replay verification guide docs/reachability/replay-verification.md 3820

Success Metrics

  1. Coverage: >80% of binary CVEs have symbol-level mapping
  2. Performance: Slice query <2s for typical graphs
  3. Accuracy: Replay match rate >99.9%
  4. Adoption: CLI commands used in >50% of offline deployments

Dependencies & Concurrency

  • Sprint 3810 is the primary upstream dependency for 3820, 3830, 3840, and 3850.
  • Sprints 3830, 3840, and 3850 can proceed in parallel once 3810 and 3820 are complete.

Recommended Execution Order

Sprint 3810 (CVE-to-Symbol + Slices) -> Sprint 3820 (Query APIs) -> Sprint 3830 (VEX)
Sprint 3800 (Binary Enhancement) completes first.
Sprint 3850 (OCI + CLI) can run in parallel with 3830.
Sprint 3840 (Runtime Traces) can run in parallel with 3830-3850.
