StellaOps Zastava

Zastava monitors running workloads, verifies supply chain posture, and enforces runtime policy via Kubernetes admission webhooks.

Latest updates (2025-12-02)

• DSSE-signed schemas, thresholds, exports, and deterministic zastava-kit bundle published under docs/modules/zastava; verification via kit/verify.sh and hashes in SHA256SUMS.
• Sprint tracker docs/implplan/SPRINT_0335_0001_0001_docs_modules_zastava.md and module TASKS.md added to mirror status.
• Observability runbook stub + dashboard placeholder added under operations/ (offline import).
• Surface.Env/Surface.Secrets adoption remains pending platform contracts; align with platform docs before enabling sealed mode.

Responsibilities

• Observe node/container activity and emit runtime events.
• Validate signatures, SBOM presence, and backend verdicts before allowing containers.
• Buffer and replay events during disconnections.
• Trigger delta scans when runtime posture drifts.

Key components

• StellaOps.Zastava.Observer daemonset.
• StellaOps.Zastava.Webhook admission controller.
• Shared contracts in StellaOps.Zastava.Core.

Integrations & dependencies

• Authority for OpToks and mTLS.
• Scanner/Scheduler for remediation triggers.
• Notify/UI for runtime alerts and dashboards.

Operational notes

• Runbook ./operations/observability.md (stub) plus dashboard placeholder ./operations/dashboards/zastava-observability.json.
• Legacy runtime runbook assets remain under ./operations if present; keep offline kit bundles deterministic.
• DPoP/mTLS rotation guidance shared with Authority.

Implementation Status

Current Objectives

• Maintain deterministic behaviour and offline parity across releases
• Keep documentation, telemetry, and runbooks aligned with latest sprint outcomes
• Coordinate with platform contracts before enabling sealed mode

Core Capabilities

• Runtime event observation: node/container activity monitoring
• Admission control: signature validation, SBOM presence, backend verdict checks
• Disconnection resilience: event buffering and replay during network outages
• Delta scan triggering when runtime posture drifts

Key Components

• StellaOps.Zastava.Observer daemonset for runtime monitoring
• StellaOps.Zastava.Webhook admission controller for policy enforcement
• StellaOps.Zastava.Core shared contracts

Integration Points

• Authority: OpToks and mTLS for secure communication
• Scanner/Scheduler: remediation trigger coordination
• Notify/UI: runtime alerts and dashboard visualization
• Platform contracts: Surface.Env/Surface.Secrets (pending alignment)

Operational Assets (Sprint 0335 · 2025-12-02)

• DSSE-signed schemas, thresholds, exports in docs/modules/zastava
• Deterministic zastava-kit bundle with verification via kit/verify.sh
• SHA256SUMS for bundle integrity validation
• Observability runbook: operations/observability.md
• Dashboard placeholder: operations/dashboards/zastava-observability.json
• Legacy assets: operations/runtime.md, runtime-grafana-dashboard.json, runtime-prometheus-rules.yaml

Technical Decisions

• Deterministic offline kit bundles with signed manifests
• DPoP/mTLS rotation guidance shared with Authority
• Surface.Env/Surface.Secrets adoption pending platform contract finalization

Coordination Approach

• Review AGENTS.md before starting new work
• Sync with cross-cutting teams via docs/implplan/SPRINT_*.md
• Track backlog: ZASTAVA runtime tasks in ../../TASKS.md
• Webhook smoke tests: src/Zastava/**/TASKS.md
• Sprint tracker: docs/implplan/SPRINT_0335_0001_0001_docs_modules_zastava.md
• Module status mirror: docs/modules/zastava/TASKS.md

Backlog references

• ZASTAVA runtime tasks in ../../TASKS.md.
