Unified Event Timeline Service

Module

Timeline

Status

VERIFIED

Description

Cross-service event timeline with HLC-ordered events, deterministic event IDs (SHA-256 of correlation_id+t_hlc+service+kind), W3C Trace Context integration, PostgreSQL append-only storage with materialized critical-path views. Provides event SDK for Scheduler/AirGap/Attestor/Policy/VexLens integration, timeline query API with HLC range filtering, causal latency measurement, and forensic event export with DSSE attestation.

Implementation Details

  • TimelineQueryService: src/Timeline/__Libraries/StellaOps.Timeline.Core/TimelineQueryService.cs -- central query engine: GetByCorrelationIdAsync (HLC range, service/kind filters, limit/offset, cursor paging), GetCriticalPathAsync (stage duration analysis: consecutive event pairs with percentage of total, sorted by duration descending), GetByServiceAsync (cross-correlation service queries)
  • TimelineEndpoints: src/Timeline/StellaOps.Timeline.WebService/Endpoints/TimelineEndpoints.cs -- /api/v1/timeline: GET /{correlationId} returns TimelineResponse (events with EventId, THlc, TsWall, Service, Kind, Payload, EngineVersion; totalCount, hasMore, nextCursor); GET /{correlationId}/critical-path returns CriticalPathResponse (totalDurationMs, stages with durationMs/percentage/fromHlc/toHlc)
  • ReplayEndpoints: src/Timeline/StellaOps.Timeline.WebService/Endpoints/ReplayEndpoints.cs -- deterministic replay: POST /{correlationId}/replay (dry-run/verify modes, HLC range), GET /replay/{replayId} (progress, deterministic match verification via SHA-256 chain digest comparison)
  • ExportEndpoints: src/Timeline/StellaOps.Timeline.WebService/Endpoints/ExportEndpoints.cs -- forensic export: POST /{correlationId}/export (NDJSON/JSON, optional DSSE signing), GET /export/{exportId}, GET /export/{exportId}/download
  • TimelineReplayOrchestrator: src/Timeline/__Libraries/StellaOps.Timeline.Core/Replay/TimelineReplayOrchestrator.cs -- background replay execution with FakeTimeProvider for determinism, IncrementalHash chain digest, progress tracking, cancellation support
  • TimelineBundleBuilder: src/Timeline/__Libraries/StellaOps.Timeline.Core/Export/TimelineBundleBuilder.cs -- NDJSON/JSON bundle building with IEventSigner integration for DSSE-attested exports; includes event_id, t_hlc, ts_wall, correlation_id, service, kind, payload_digest, engine_version, schema_version
  • ServiceCollectionExtensions: src/Timeline/__Libraries/StellaOps.Timeline.Core/ServiceCollectionExtensions.cs -- DI registration for all timeline services
  • TimelineMetrics: src/Timeline/__Libraries/StellaOps.Timeline.Core/Telemetry/TimelineMetrics.cs -- OpenTelemetry metrics: RecordReplay, RecordExport
  • Program.cs: src/Timeline/StellaOps.Timeline.WebService/Program.cs -- maps TimelineEndpoints, ReplayEndpoints, ExportEndpoints, HealthEndpoints
  • Tests: src/Timeline/__Tests/StellaOps.Timeline.Core.Tests/TimelineQueryServiceTests.cs, src/Timeline/__Tests/StellaOps.Timeline.WebService.Tests/TimelineApiIntegrationTests.cs, ReplayOrchestratorIntegrationTests.cs

E2E Test Plan

  • GET /api/v1/timeline/{correlationId} returns cross-service events ordered by HLC timestamp
  • Verify deterministic event IDs are SHA-256 hashes of correlation_id+t_hlc+service+kind
  • Test HLC range filtering returns only events within the specified window
  • Verify critical path analysis computes correct stage durations and percentages
  • Test deterministic replay: initiate -> poll status -> verify deterministicMatch=true
  • Verify forensic export produces NDJSON bundle with all event fields
  • Test DSSE-signed export bundles include valid signature attestation
  • Verify service and kind filters work correctly across multiple source services
  • Test pagination with cursor returns consistent ordered results

Verification

Recheck (run-002)

  • Date: 2026-02-10
  • Result: PASS after endpoint hardening
