feat: Implement vulnerability token signing and verification utilities
- Added VulnTokenSigner for signing JWT tokens with specified algorithms and keys.
- Introduced VulnTokenUtilities for resolving tenant and subject claims, and sanitizing context dictionaries.
- Created VulnTokenVerificationUtilities for parsing tokens, verifying signatures, and deserializing payloads.
- Developed VulnWorkflowAntiForgeryTokenIssuer for issuing anti-forgery tokens with configurable options.
- Implemented VulnWorkflowAntiForgeryTokenVerifier for verifying anti-forgery tokens and validating payloads.
- Added AuthorityVulnerabilityExplorerOptions to manage configuration for vulnerability explorer features.
- Included tests for FilesystemPackRunDispatcher to ensure proper job handling under egress policy restrictions.

# Vulnerability Explorer architecture
> Based on Epic6 Vulnerability Explorer; this specification summarises the ledger model, triage workflows, APIs, and export requirements.
## 1) Ledger data model
- **Collections / tables**
- `finding_records` canonical, policy-derived findings enriched with advisory, VEX, SBOM, runtime context. Includes `policyVersion`, `advisoryRawIds`, `vexRawIds`, `sbomComponentId`, and `explainBundleRef`.
- `finding_history` append-only state transitions (`new`, `triaged`, `accepted_risk`, `remediated`, `false_positive`, etc.) with timestamps, actor, and justification.
- `triage_actions` discrete operator actions (comment, assignment, remediation note, ticket link) with immutable provenance.
- `remediation_plans` structured remediation steps (affected assets, deadlines, recommended fixes, auto-generated from SRM/AI hints).
- `reports` saved report definitions, export manifests, and signatures.
- **Immutability & provenance** All updates are append-only; previous state is recoverable. Records capture `tenant`, `artifactId`, `findingKey`, `policyVersion`, `sourceRunId`, `sr mDigest`.
## 2) Triage workflow
1. **Ingest effective findings** from Policy Engine (stream `policy.finding.delta`). Each delta updates `finding_records`, generates history entries, and triggers notification rules.
2. **Prioritisation** uses contextual heuristics: runtime exposure, VEX status, policy severity, AI hints. Stored as `priorityScore` with provenance from Zastava/AI modules.
3. **Assignment & collaboration** Operators claim findings, add comments, attach evidence, and link tickets. Assignment uses Authority identities and RBAC.
4. **Remediation tracking** Link remediation plans, record progress, and integrate with Scheduler for follow-up scans once fixes deploy.
5. **Closure** When Policy or rescans mark finding resolved, system logs closure with explain trace and updates audit ledger.
State machine summary:
```
new -> (triage) triaged -> (remediate) in_progress -> (verify) awaiting_verification -> (scan) remediated
new -> (false_positive) closed_false_positive
new -> (risk_accept) accepted_risk
```
All transitions require justification; certain transitions (accepted risk) require multi-approver workflow defined by Policy Studio.
## 3) APIs
- `GET /v1/findings` — filtered listing with pagination, search (artifact, advisory, priority, status, assignee).
- `GET /v1/findings/{id}` — detail view (policy context, explain trace, evidence timeline).
- `POST /v1/findings/{id}/actions` — create triage action (assign, comment, status change, remediation, ticket link) with DSSE signature support.
- `POST /v1/reports` — generate report artifact (JSON, CSV, PDF) defined by saved templates; records manifest + signature.
- `GET /v1/exports/offline` — stream deterministic bundle for Offline Kit (findings JSON, history, attachments, manifest).
CLI mirrors these endpoints (`stella findings list|view|update|export`). Console UI consumes the same APIs via typed clients.
## 4) AI/automation integration
- Advisory AI contributes remediation hints and conflict explanations stored alongside findings (`aiInsights`).
- Scheduler integration triggers follow-up scans or policy re-evaluation when remediation plan reaches checkpoint.
- Zastava (Differential SBOM) feeds runtime exposure signals to reprioritise findings automatically.
## 5) Observability & compliance
- Metrics: `findings_open_total{severity,tenant}`, `findings_mttr_seconds`, `triage_actions_total{type}`, `report_generation_seconds`.
- Logs: structured with `findingId`, `artifactId`, `advisory`, `policyVersion`, `actor`, `actionType`.
- Audit exports: `audit_log.jsonl` appended whenever state changes; offline bundles include signed audit log and manifest.
- Compliance: accepted risk requires dual approval and stores justification plus expiry reminders (raised through Notify).
## 6) Identity & access integration
- **Scopes** `vuln:view`, `vuln:investigate`, `vuln:operate`, `vuln:audit` map to read-only, triage, workflow, and audit experiences respectively. The deprecated `vuln:read` scope is still honoured for legacy tokens but is no longer advertised.
- **Attribute filters (ABAC)** Authority enforces per-service-account filters via the client-credential parameters `vuln_env`, `vuln_owner`, and `vuln_business_tier`. Service accounts define the allowed values in `authority.yaml` (`attributes` block). Tokens include the resolved filters as claims (`stellaops:vuln_env`, `stellaops:vuln_owner`, `stellaops:vuln_business_tier`), and tokens persisted to Mongo retain the same values for audit and revocation.
- **Audit trail** Every token issuance emits `authority.vuln_attr.*` audit properties that mirror the resolved filter set, along with `delegation.service_account` and ordered `delegation.actor[n]` entries so Vuln Explorer can correlate access decisions.
- **Permalinks** Signed permalinks inherit the callers ABAC filters; consuming services must enforce the embedded claims in addition to scope checks when resolving permalinks.
## 7) Offline bundle requirements
- Bundle structure:
- `manifest.json` (hashes, counts, policy version, generation timestamp).
- `findings.jsonl` (current open findings).
- `history.jsonl` (state changes).
- `actions.jsonl` (comments, assignments, tickets).
- `reports/` (generated PDFs/CSVs).
- `signatures/` (DSSE envelopes).
- Bundles produced deterministically; Export Center consumes them for mirror profiles.
