master bc4318ef97 Add tests for SBOM generation determinism across multiple formats
- Created `StellaOps.TestKit.Tests` project for unit tests related to determinism.
- Implemented `DeterminismManifestTests` to validate deterministic output for canonical bytes and strings, file read/write operations, and error handling for invalid schema versions.
- Added `SbomDeterminismTests` to ensure identical inputs produce consistent SBOMs across SPDX 3.0.1 and CycloneDX 1.6/1.7 formats, including parallel execution tests.
- Updated project references in `StellaOps.Integration.Determinism` to include the new determinism testing library.

Timeline forensics

Purpose

  • Provide an append-only event ledger for audit, replay, and incident analysis.
  • Support deterministic exports for offline review.

Event model

  • event_id (ULID)
  • tenant
  • timestamp (UTC ISO-8601)
  • category (scanner, policy, runtime, evidence, notify)
  • details (JSON payload)
  • trace_id for correlation

Event kinds

  • scan.completed
  • policy.verdict
  • attestation.verified
  • evidence.ingested
  • notify.sent
  • runtime.alert
  • redaction_notice (compensating event)

APIs

  • GET /api/v1/timeline/events with filters for tenant, category, time window, trace_id.
  • GET /api/v1/timeline/events/{id} for a single event.
  • GET /api/v1/timeline/export for NDJSON exports.
  • Headers: X-Stella-Tenant, optional X-Stella-TraceId, If-None-Match.

Query guidance

  • Use category plus trace_id to track scan to policy to notify flow.
  • Use tenant and timestamp ranges for SLA audits.
  • CLI parity: stella timeline list mirrors the API.

Retention and redaction

  • Append-only storage; no deletes.
  • Redactions use redaction_notice events that reference the superseded event.
  • Retention is tenant-configurable and exported weekly to cold storage.

Offline posture

  • Offline kits include timeline exports for compliance review.
  • Exports include stable ordering and manifest hashes.
