Quick answers

Question Short answer
What is StellaOps? A sovereign, offline-first container-security platform focused on deterministic, replayable evidence: SBOMs, advisories, VEX, policy decisions, and attestations bound to image digests.
What makes it "deterministic"? The same inputs produce the same outputs (stable ordering, stable IDs, replayable artifacts). Determinism is treated as a product feature and enforced by tests and fixtures.
Does it run fully offline? Yes. Offline operation is a first-class workflow (bundles, mirrors, importer/controller). See docs/24_OFFLINE_KIT.md and docs/airgap/overview.md.
Which formats are supported? SBOMs: SPDX 3.0.1 and CycloneDX 1.6. VEX: OpenVEX-first decisioning with issuer trust and consensus. Attestations: in-toto/DSSE where enabled.
How do I deploy it? Use deterministic bundles under deploy/ (Compose/Helm) with digests sourced from deploy/releases/. Start with docs/21_INSTALL_GUIDE.md.
How do policy gates work? Policy combines VEX-first inputs with lattice/precedence rules so outcomes are stable and explainable. See docs/policy/vex-trust-model.md.
Is multi-tenancy supported? Yes; tenancy boundaries and roles/scopes are documented and designed to support regulated environments. See docs/security/tenancy-overview.md and docs/security/scopes-and-roles.md.
Can I extend it? Yes: connectors, plugins, and policy packs are designed to be composable without losing determinism. Start with module dossiers under docs/modules/.
Where is the roadmap? docs/05_ROADMAP.md (priority bands + definition of "done").
Where do I find deeper docs? docs/technical/README.md is the detailed index; docs/modules/ contains per-module dossiers.
