- 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.

Implementation plan — Graph
Delivery phases
- Phase 1 – Graph Indexer foundations
Stand up Graph Indexer service, node/edge schemas, ingestion from SBOM/Concelier/Excititor events, identity stability, and snapshot materialisation. - Phase 2 – Graph API service
Expose search, query, path, impact, diff, and overlay endpoints with RBAC, cost controls, and streaming responses. - Phase 3 – Console & CLI experiences
Ship Graph Explorer UI (WebGL canvas, filters, diff mode, overlays) and CLI (stella sbom graph ...) for automation pipelines. - Phase 4 – Advanced analytics
Implement clustering, centrality, saved queries, overlay caching, and Policy Engine explain integration. - Phase 5 – Exports & offline
Deliver GraphML/CSV/NDJSON exports, Offline Kit bundles (nodes.jsonl,edges.jsonl, overlays), and deterministic manifests. - Phase 6 – Observability & hardening
Complete dashboards, alerts, runbooks, load/perf testing, and a11y/accessibility review. 
Work breakdown
- Services
- Graph Indexer: event consumers, node/edge builders, snapshot/version handling, aggregate metrics.
 - Graph API: validation, planner/cost guard, streaming tile engine, diff/overlay builder, exports.
 - Worker jobs: clustering, diff, overlay materialisation with backpressure awareness.
 
 - Data model & storage
- Collections/tables (
graph_nodes,graph_edges,graph_snapshots,graph_saved_queries,graph_overlays_cache), indexes, tenant partitioning, append-only change logs. - Evaluate document + adjacency vs graph DB abstraction; ensure deterministic serialization for exports.
 
 - Collections/tables (
 - Console
- Feature module 
graph-explorerwith routes, canvas renderer, panels, diff UI, saved queries, export workflows, a11y pass. - Telemetry instrumentation for user interactions and query budgets.
 
 - Feature module 
 - CLI & SDK
stella sbom graph query|diff|impact|export, with JSON schema and piping support.- SDK utilities for automation and CI pipelines.
 
 - Policy & VEX integration
- Fetch explain traces for policy overlays, integrate VEX suppressions, align with Policy Engine & VEX Lens data models.
 
 - Observability & Ops
- Metrics (ingest lag, query latency, cache hit rate), log/traces, dashboards, alerting for runaway queries and OOM.
 - Runbooks for incident classes (query denial, cache poisoning, degraded render).
 
 - Documentation
- Maintain overview, API, query language, console guide, CLI reference, policy/VEX integration docs with compliance checklists.
 
 
Acceptance criteria
- Graph Indexer ingests SBOM/advisory/VEX events deterministically with tenant isolation and append-only provenance.
 - Graph API serves search/query/path/diff/overlay endpoints within budgeted latency and enforces cost limits + RBAC.
 - Console explorer visualises topology, overlays, diffs, saved queries; CLI commands mirror functionality for automation.
 - Exports (GraphML/CSV/NDJSON) and Offline Kit bundles reproduce snapshots and overlays with signed manifests.
 - Observability dashboards/alerts detect ingest lag, query failures, cache churn, and memory pressure; runbooks guide remediation.
 - Policy/VEX overlays align with Policy Engine explain traces and VEX suppressions.
 
Risks & mitigations
- Graph scale/complexity: adopt adjacency compression, cached overlays, streaming pagination, enforced query budgets.
 - Tenant bleed: strict tenant filters, fuzz tests, data masking, compliance reviews.
 - Runaway queries/visualization: cost planner, query timeout, UI hints, safe mode renders.
 - Cache poisoning: input validation, schema versioning, eviction policies.
 - Offline parity gaps: deterministic export pipeline, integration tests for Offline Kit import.
 
Test strategy
- Unit: node/edge builders, identifier stability, overlay computations, query planner, diff engine.
 - Integration: end-to-end ingest + query flows across SBOM/advisory/VEX, saved query execution, diff exports.
 - Performance: large SBOM datasets, concurrency, memory profiling, WebGL rendering.
 - Security: tenant isolation tests, RBAC, query cost abuse.
 - Offline: export/import verification, manifest hashing, CLI replay.
 
Definition of done
- All phases delivered with telemetry, documentation, runbooks, and Offline Kit parity.
 - Console/CLI parity validated; a11y review complete.
 - ./TASKS.md and ../../TASKS.md updated; README/architecture/plan kept current with imposed rule references.
