Quick answers
| Question | Short answer |
|---|---|
| What is StellaOps? | A sovereign, offline-first container-security platform focused on deterministic, replayable evidence: SBOMs, advisories, VEX, policy decisions, and attestations bound to image digests. |
| What makes it "deterministic"? | The same inputs produce the same outputs (stable ordering, stable IDs, replayable artifacts). Determinism is treated as a product feature and enforced by tests and fixtures. |
| Does it run fully offline? | Yes. Offline operation is a first-class workflow (bundles, mirrors, importer/controller). See docs/OFFLINE_KIT.md and docs/modules/airgap/guides/overview.md. |
| Which formats are supported? | SBOMs: SPDX 3.0.1 and CycloneDX 1.7 (1.6 backward compatible). VEX: OpenVEX-first decisioning with issuer trust and consensus. Attestations: in-toto/DSSE where enabled. |
| How do I deploy it? | Use deterministic bundles under deploy/ (Compose/Helm) with digests sourced from deploy/releases/. Start with docs/INSTALL_GUIDE.md. |
| How do policy gates work? | Policy combines VEX-first inputs with lattice/precedence rules so outcomes are stable and explainable. See docs/modules/policy/guides/vex-trust-model.md. |
| Is multi-tenancy supported? | Yes; tenancy boundaries and roles/scopes are documented and designed to support regulated environments. See docs/security/tenancy-overview.md and docs/security/scopes-and-roles.md. |
| Can I extend it? | Yes: connectors, plugins, and policy packs are designed to be composable without losing determinism. Start with module dossiers under docs/modules/. |
| Where do I find deeper docs? | docs/technical/README.md is the detailed index; docs/modules/ contains per-module dossiers. |
