- Added `LedgerMetrics` class to record write latency and total events for ledger operations. - Created comprehensive tests for Ruby packages endpoints, covering scenarios for missing inventory, successful retrieval, and identifier handling. - Introduced `TestSurfaceSecretsScope` for managing environment variables during tests. - Developed `ProvenanceMongoExtensions` for attaching DSSE provenance and trust information to event documents. - Implemented `EventProvenanceWriter` and `EventWriter` classes for managing event provenance in MongoDB. - Established MongoDB indexes for efficient querying of events based on provenance and trust. - Added models and JSON parsing logic for DSSE provenance and trust information.

# Findings Ledger Replay & Determinism Harness (LEDGER-29-008)
|
||
|
||
> **Audience:** Findings Ledger Guild · QA Guild · Policy Guild
|
||
> **Purpose:** Define the reproducible harness for 5 M findings/tenant replay tests and determinism validation required by LEDGER-29-008.
|
||
|
||
## 1. Goals
|
||
- Reproduce ledger + projection state from canonical event fixtures with byte-for-byte determinism.
|
||
- Stress test writer/projector throughput at ≥5 M findings per tenant, capturing CPU/memory/latency profiles.
|
||
- Produce signed reports (DSSE) that CI and auditors can review before shipping.
|
||
|
||
## 2. Architecture
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Fixtures (.ndjson) → Harness Runner → Ledger Writer API → Postgres Ledger DB
|
||
↘ Projector (same DB) ↘ Metrics snapshot
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- **Fixtures:** `fixtures/ledger/*.ndjson`, sorted by `sequence_no`, containing canonical JSON envelopes with precomputed hashes.
|
||
- **Runner:** `tools/LedgerReplayHarness` (console app) feeds events, waits for projector catch-up, and verifies projection hashes.
|
||
- **Validation:** After replay, the runner re-reads ledger/projection tables, recomputes hashes, and compares to fixture expectations.
|
||
- **Reporting:** Generates `harness-report.json` with metrics (latency histogram, insertion throughput, projection lag) plus a DSSE signature.
|
||
|
||
## 3. CLI usage
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
dotnet run --project tools/LedgerReplayHarness \
|
||
-- --fixture fixtures/ledger/tenant-a.ndjson \
|
||
--connection "Host=postgres;Username=stellaops;Password=***;Database=findings_ledger" \
|
||
--tenant tenant-a \
|
||
--maxParallel 8 \
|
||
--report out/harness/tenant-a-report.json
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Options:
|
||
|
||
| Option | Description |
|
||
| --- | --- |
|
||
| `--fixture` | Path to NDJSON file (supports multiple). |
|
||
| `--connection` | Postgres connection string (writer + projector share). |
|
||
| `--tenant` | Tenant identifier; harness ensures partitions exist. |
|
||
| `--maxParallel` | Batch concurrency (default 4). |
|
||
| `--report` | Output path for report JSON; `.sig` generated alongside. |
|
||
| `--metrics-endpoint` | Optional Prometheus scrape URI for live metrics snapshot. |
|
||
|
||
## 4. Verification steps
|
||
|
||
1. **Hash validation:** Recompute `event_hash` for each appended event and ensure matches fixture.
|
||
2. **Sequence integrity:** Confirm gapless sequences per chain; harness aborts on mismatch.
|
||
3. **Projection determinism:** Compare projector-derived `cycle_hash` with expected value from fixture metadata.
|
||
4. **Performance:** Capture P50/P95 latencies for `ledger_write_latency_seconds` and ensure targets (<120 ms P95) met.
|
||
5. **Resource usage:** Sample CPU/memory via `dotnet-counters` or `kubectl top` and store in report.
|
||
6. **Merkle root check:** Rebuild Merkle tree from events and ensure root equals database `ledger_merkle_roots` entry.
|
||
|
||
## 5. Output report schema
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{
|
||
"tenant": "tenant-a",
|
||
"fixtures": ["fixtures/ledger/tenant-a.ndjson"],
|
||
"eventsWritten": 5123456,
|
||
"durationSeconds": 1422.4,
|
||
"latencyP95Ms": 108.3,
|
||
"projectionLagMaxSeconds": 18.2,
|
||
"cpuPercentMax": 72.5,
|
||
"memoryMbMax": 3580,
|
||
"merkleRoot": "3f1a…",
|
||
"status": "pass",
|
||
"timestamp": "2025-11-13T11:45:00Z"
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The harness writes `harness-report.json` plus `harness-report.json.sig` (DSSE) and `metrics-snapshot.prom` for archival.
|
||
|
||
## 6. CI integration
|
||
- New pipeline job `ledger-replay-harness` runs nightly with reduced dataset (1 M findings) to detect regressions quickly.
|
||
- Full 5 M run executes weekly and before releases; artifacts uploaded to `out/qa/findings-ledger/`.
|
||
- Gates: merge blocked if harness `status != pass` or latencies exceed thresholds.
|
||
|
||
## 7. Air-gapped execution
|
||
- Include fixtures + harness binaries inside Offline Kit under `offline/ledger/replay/`.
|
||
- Provide `run-harness.sh` script that sets env vars, executes runner, and exports reports.
|
||
- Operators attach signed reports to audit trails, verifying hashed fixtures before import.
