Unknowns budget dashboard (budgeted unknowns with policy thresholds)

Module

Policy

Status

IMPLEMENTED

Description

Grey queue, SLA monitoring, unknown budget service, and budget constraint enforcer implement first-class unknowns management with policy thresholds.

Implementation Details

  • UnknownBudgetService: src/Policy/__Libraries/StellaOps.Policy.Unknowns/Services/UnknownBudgetService.cs
    • Budget CRUD operations: create, query, consume, replenish, status check
    • Per-type budget tracking across multiple unknown categories
  • UnknownsBudgetEnforcer: src/Policy/__Libraries/StellaOps.Policy.Unknowns/Services/UnknownsBudgetEnforcer.cs
    • Constraint enforcement with Green/Yellow/Red/Exhausted thresholds
    • SLA monitoring: tracks unknown resolution against SLA targets
  • UnknownRanker: src/Policy/__Libraries/StellaOps.Policy.Unknowns/Services/UnknownRanker.cs
    • Prioritizes unknowns by HOT/WARM/COLD/Negligible bands
    • Score = (Uncertainty * 50) + (ExploitPressure * 50)
    • Reason codes for triage: AnalyzerLimit, Reachability, Identity, Provenance, VexConflict, FeedGap, ConfigUnknown
  • Grey queue models: src/Policy/__Libraries/StellaOps.Policy.Unknowns/Models/
    • UnknownItem with reason code, band assignment, score, and SLA tracking
    • BlastRadius (Dependents, NetFacing, Privilege)
  • BudgetEndpoints: src/Policy/StellaOps.Policy.Engine/Endpoints/BudgetEndpoints.cs -- budget dashboard API
  • PolicyGateEvaluator: src/Policy/StellaOps.Policy.Engine/Gates/PolicyGateEvaluator.cs -- uncertainty tier gate enforces budget thresholds

E2E Test Plan

  • Query budget dashboard; verify response includes per-type unknown counts, thresholds, and status
  • Verify HOT band unknowns appear first in priority queue
  • Verify SLA tracking: unknown exceeding SLA target flagged as overdue
  • Consume budget; verify dashboard updates with new consumption levels
  • Resolve unknowns; verify budget capacity replenished and dashboard reflects change
  • Verify reason codes in dashboard: AnalyzerLimit, Reachability, Identity, etc.
  • Query budget history; verify trendline shows consumption over time
  • Verify budget threshold transitions are logged for audit
  • Create budget with per-type limits (reachability=10, identity=5); verify independent tracking
  • Verify Exhausted status prevents new releases via PolicyGateEvaluator
