- Implemented PolicyDslValidator with command-line options for strict mode and JSON output. - Created PolicySchemaExporter to generate JSON schemas for policy-related models. - Developed PolicySimulationSmoke tool to validate policy simulations against expected outcomes. - Added project files and necessary dependencies for each tool. - Ensured proper error handling and usage instructions across tools.

Serverless Policy Example (serverless.stella)
Optimised for short-lived serverless workloads: focus on runtime integrity, disallow vulnerable layers entirely, and permit temporary suppressions only with strict justification windows.
policy "Serverless Tight Policy" syntax "stella-dsl@1" {
metadata {
description = "Aggressive blocking for serverless runtimes."
tags = ["serverless","prod","strict"]
}
profile severity {
env runtime_overrides {
if env.runtime == "serverless" then +0.7
if env.runtime == "batch" then +0.2
}
}
rule block_any_high {
when severity.normalized >= "High"
then status := "blocked"
because "Serverless workloads block High+ severities."
}
rule forbid_unpinned_base {
when sbom.has_tag("image:latest-tag")
then status := "blocked"
because "Base image must be pinned (no :latest)."
}
rule zero_tolerance_vex {
when vex.any(status == "not_affected")
then requireVex { vendors = ["VendorX","VendorY"], justifications = ["component_not_present"] }
because "Allow not_affected only from trusted vendors with strongest justification."
}
rule temporary_quiet {
when env.deployment == "canary"
and severity.normalized == "Medium"
then ignore until coalesce(env.quietUntil, "2025-12-31T00:00:00Z")
because "Allow short canary quiet window while fix rolls out."
}
}
Commentary
- Designed for serverless tenants where redeploy cost is low and failing fast is preferred.
forbid_unpinned_baseenforces supply-chain best practices.temporary_quietensures quiet windows expire automatically; require deployments to setenv.quietUntil.- Intended to be layered on top of baseline (override per tenant) or used standalone for serverless-only accounts.

Compliance checklist
- Quiet window expirations tracked and documented.
- Trusted VEX vendor list reviewed quarterly.
- Deployment pipeline enforces pinned base images before approval.
- Canary deployments monitored for recurrence before ignoring Medium severity.
- Serverless teams acknowledge runbook for blocked deployments.
