Key Features – Capability Cards
Each card is a fast read pairing the headline capability with the evidence that backs it and why it matters day to day.
1. Delta SBOM Engine
- What it is: Layer-aware ingestion keeps the SBOM catalog content-addressed; rescans only fetch new layers and update dependency/vulnerability cartographs.
 - Evidence: Deterministic Replay Manifest (SRM) captures the exact analyzer inputs/outputs per layer.
 - Why it matters: Warm scans drop below one second, so CI/CD pipelines stay fast even under the free-tier quota.
 
2. Lattice Policy + OpenVEX
- What it is: Policy engine merges SBOM, advisories, VEX, and waivers through lattice logic that prioritises exploitability.
 - Evidence: OpenVEX is treated as first-class input; the policy UI renders explain traces, while custom rule packs let teams automate muting, expirations, and non-VEX alert logic.
 - Why it matters: Teams can distinguish exploitable risk from noise, tune the experience beyond VEX statements, and prove why a deployment was blocked or allowed.
 
3. Sovereign Crypto Profiles
- What it is: Bring-your-own trust bundles that switch signing algorithms (FIPS, eIDAS, GOST, SM) without code changes.
 - Evidence: Crypto profiles travel with Offline Update Kits and post-quantum trust packs, keeping signatures verifiable in regulated sectors.
 - Why it matters: You meet regional crypto requirements while keeping provenance attestations consistent across tenants.
 
4. Deterministic Replay & Evidence Bundles
- What it is: Every scan produces a DSSE + SRM bundle that can be replayed with 
stella replay. - Evidence: Replay manifests capture analyzer versions, lattice state, and attestations in content-addressed storage for audit trails.
 - Why it matters: Auditors and incident responders can re-run a historical scan and trust the findings were not tampered with.
 
5. Transparent Quotas & Offline Operations
- What it is: Redis-backed counters surface 
{{ quota_token }}scans/day via headers, UI banners, and/quotaAPI; Offline Update Kits mirror feeds. - Evidence: Quota tokens verify locally using bundled public keys, and Offline Update Kits include mirrored advisories, SBOM feeds, and VEX sources.
 - Why it matters: You stay within predictable limits, avoid surprise throttling, and operate entirely offline when needed.
