Continues the SPRINT_20260422_004_Concelier_full_connector_control_plane
feature stream started in commit 5c1b59580 (Excititor provider management
endpoints + contracts + service + tests). Adds the CLI + Web surfaces on
top of that backend.
CLI (src/Cli/**):
- CommandHandlers + BackendOperationsClient extended with provider
management calls
- ExcititorProviderSummary model added to the CLI's service models
- NonCoreCliCommandModule wires the new commands; tests updated
- TASKS.md entries synced
Web console (src/Web/StellaOps.Web/**):
- New vex-provider-catalog.component + vex-provider-management.api client
- advisory-source-catalog + advisory-vex-route-helpers extended to route
users to the new VEX provider surface
- integration-hub.routes.ts registers the new route
- security-disposition-page.component.ts updated for the flow
Excititor/Concelier docs + contracts:
- docs/modules/excititor/operations/provider-control-plane.md — operator
guide for the new control plane
- docs/modules/excititor/README.md + docs/modules/concelier/{README,
connectors}.md — cross-links + refs
- ConfiguredAdvisorySourceService.cs — additional provider plumbing
- StellaOps.Excititor.WebService/TASKS.md synced
Sprint doc (docs/implplan/SPRINT_20260422_004_*.md) reflects the
in-flight progress.
This is external-stream work picked up during the 2026-04-22 session's
closeout — bundling it now so the working tree is clean and main stays
in sync with local feature-branch state.

StellaOps Concelier
Concelier maintains a catalog of 78 advisory source definitions and currently wires 31 built-in runnable advisory pipelines in the default WebService host. It converts signed advisories into immutable observations plus linksets under the Aggregation-Only Contract (AOC).
Current operator references:
- Full advisory inventory and runnable-vs-catalog truth:
connectors.md - Stored credential and endpoint override entry paths:
operations/source-credentials.md - Per-connector runbooks:
./operations/connectors/
Responsibilities
- Fetch and normalise vulnerability advisories via restart-time connectors.
- Persist observations and correlation linksets without precedence decisions.
- Emit deterministic exports (JSON, Trivy DB) for downstream policy evaluation.
- Coordinate offline/air-gap updates via Offline Kit bundles.
- Serve paragraph-anchored advisory chunks for Advisory AI consumers without breaking the Aggregation-Only Contract.
- Do not emit promotion PASS/FAIL decisions; promotion gate decisions are owned by Policy Engine.
Key components
StellaOps.Concelier.WebServiceorchestration host.- Connector libraries under
StellaOps.Concelier.Connector.*. - Exporter packages (
StellaOps.Concelier.Exporter.*).
Recent updates
- 2025-11-07: Paragraph-anchored
/advisories/{advisoryKey}/chunksendpoint shipped for Advisory AI paragraph retrieval. Details and rollout notes live in../../implplan/archived/updates/2025-11-07-concelier-advisory-chunks.md.
Integrations & dependencies
- PostgreSQL (schema
vuln) for canonical observations and schedules. - Policy Engine / Export Center / CLI for evidence consumption.
- Notify and UI for advisory deltas.
Operational notes
- Connector runbooks in ./operations/connectors/.
- Mirror operations for Offline Kit parity.
- Grafana dashboards for connector health.
- Authority toggle rollout (2025-10-22 update). Follow the phased table and audit checklist in
../../CONCELIER_CLI_QUICKSTART.mdwhen enablingauthority.enabled/authority.allowAnonymousFallback, and cross-check the refreshed./operations/authority-audit-runbook.mdbefore enforcement.

src/Concelier/**/TASKS.md.
Epic alignment
- Epic 1 – AOC enforcement: uphold raw observation invariants, provenance requirements, linkset-only enrichment, and AOC verifier guardrails across every connector.
- Epic 10 – Export Center: expose deterministic advisory exports and metadata required by JSON/Trivy/mirror bundles.
Implementation Status
Delivery Phases:
- Phase 1 (Guardrails & schema) – PostgreSQL validators, AOCWriteGuard interceptor, deterministic linkset builders operational
- Phase 2 (API & observability) – Ingestion/verification endpoints with Authority scopes, telemetry, Offline Kit packaging
- Phase 3 (Experience polish) – CLI/Console affordances, Export Center hand-off metadata, CI enforcement
Acceptance Criteria:
- PostgreSQL validators and runtime guards reject forbidden fields and missing provenance with ERR_AOC_00x codes
- Linksets and supersedes chains deterministic; identical payloads yield byte-identical documents
- CLI
stella aoc verifyexits non-zero on violations, zero on clean datasets - Export Center consumes advisory datasets without legacy normalized fields
- CI fails on lint violations or guard test regressions
Key Risks & Mitigations:
- Collector drift: guard middleware + CI lint + schema validation; RFC required for linkset changes
- Migration complexity: staged cutover with backup copies, temporary views for Policy Engine parity
- Performance overhead: guard remains O(number of keys), index review for insert latency targets
- Tenancy leakage: tenant required in schema, Authority claims enforced, observability alerts
Recent Milestones:
- Sprint 110 attestation chain validated, evidence bundle tests green
- Link-Not-Merge cache and console consumption docs frozen
- Observation events transport reviewed, NATS/air-gap guidance updated
- Testing-only legacy
AddInMemoryStorage()compatibility moved into explicit web-service test harnesses, and runtime observation-event defaults no longer imply an undocumented"inmemory"transport
