master c58a236d70 Doctor plugin checks: implement health check classes and documentation
Implement remediation-aware health checks across all Doctor plugin modules
(Agent, Attestor, Auth, BinaryAnalysis, Compliance, Crypto, Environment,
EvidenceLocker, Notify, Observability, Operations, Policy, Postgres, Release,
Scanner, Storage, Vex) and their backing library counterparts (AI, Attestation,
Authority, Core, Cryptography, Database, Docker, Integration, Notify,
Observability, Security, ServiceGraph, Sources, Verification).

Each check now emits structured remediation metadata (severity, category,
runbook links, and fix suggestions) consumed by the Doctor dashboard
remediation panel.

Also adds:
- docs/doctor/articles/ knowledge base for check explanations
- Advisory AI search seed and allowlist updates for doctor content
- Sprint plan for doctor checks documentation

TST Approaching Expiry

What It Checks

Detects timestamp tokens approaching signing certificate expiry. Fails if timestamps are within the critical window (default 90 days), warns if within the warning window (default 180 days).

Why It Matters

Expired timestamp tokens cannot be validated by relying parties. Artifacts with expired timestamps lose their temporal proof, which may invalidate compliance evidence.

Common Causes

  • TSA signing certificates approaching end-of-life
  • Re-timestamp jobs not scheduled or failing

How to Fix

Run the retimestamp workflow to refresh expiring artifacts:

stella retimestamp run --expiring-within 180d

Schedule automatic re-timestamping before expiry.

Verification

stella doctor run --check check.timestamp.evidence.tst.expiry
  • check.timestamp.evidence.staleness — aggregated evidence staleness check
  • check.timestamp.tsa.cert-expiry — checks TSA certificate expiry
