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

Webhook Configuration

What It Checks

Verifies that the generic webhook notification channel is properly configured. The check reads Notify:Channels:Webhook and validates:

  • URL (Url or Endpoint): must be set and be a valid HTTP or HTTPS URL.
  • Enabled flag (Enabled): if explicitly false, reports a warning.
  • Also reads Method (defaults to POST) and ContentType (defaults to application/json) for evidence.

The check only runs when the Notify:Channels:Webhook configuration section exists.

Why It Matters

Generic webhooks integrate Stella Ops notifications with third-party systems (PagerDuty, OpsGenie, custom dashboards, SIEM tools). A missing or malformed URL prevents these integrations from receiving events.

Common Causes

  • Webhook URL not set in configuration
  • Malformed URL (missing protocol http:// or https://)
  • Invalid characters in URL
  • Webhook channel explicitly disabled

How to Fix

Docker Compose

environment:
  Notify__Channels__Webhook__Url: "https://your-endpoint/webhook"
  Notify__Channels__Webhook__Method: "POST"
  Notify__Channels__Webhook__ContentType: "application/json"

Bare Metal / systemd

{
  "Notify": {
    "Channels": {
      "Webhook": {
        "Url": "https://your-endpoint/webhook",
        "Method": "POST",
        "ContentType": "application/json"
      }
    }
  }
}

Kubernetes / Helm

notify:
  channels:
    webhook:
      url: "https://your-endpoint/webhook"
      method: "POST"

Verification

stella doctor run --check check.notify.webhook.configured
  • check.notify.webhook.connectivity — tests whether the webhook endpoint is reachable
  • check.notify.queue.health — verifies the notification delivery queue is healthy
