# Stella Ops Web UI

A fast, modular single‑page application for controlling scans, policies, offline updates and platform‑wide settings.
Built for sub‑second feedback, dark‑mode by default, and no external CDNs – everything ships inside the anonymous internal registry.

## 0 Fast Facts

Aspect	Detail
Tech Stack	Angular 17 + Vite dev server
Styling	Tailwind CSS
State	Angular Signals + RxJS
API Client	OpenAPI v3 generated services (Axios)
Auth	OAuth2 /OIDC (tokens from backend or external IdP)
i18n	JSON bundles – `/locales/{lang}.json` (English, Russian shipped)
Offline Updates 📌	UI supports “OUK” tarball upload to refresh NVD / Trivy DB when air‑gapped
Build Artifacts	(`ui/dist/`) pushed to `registry.git.stella-ops.ru/ui:${SHA}`

The Offline Updates (OUK) node under Settings is new.

## 2 Technology Overview

### 2.1 Build & Deployment

npm i && npm build → generates dist/ (~2.1 MB gzip).
A CI job tags and pushes the artifact as ui:${GIT_SHA} to the internal registry.
Backend serves static assets from /srv/ui (mounted from the image layer).

No external fonts or JS – true offline guarantee.

### 2.2 Runtime Boot

AppConfigService pulls /api/v1/config/ui (contains feature flags, default theme, enabled plugins).
Locale JSON fetched (/locales/{lang}.json, falls back to en).
Root router mounts lazy‑loaded feature modules in the order supplied by backend – this is how future route plugins inject pages without forking the UI.

## 3 Feature Walk‑Throughs

### 3.1 Dashboard – Real‑Time Status

Δ‑SBOM heat‑map 📌 shows how many scans used delta mode vs. full unpack.
“Feed Age” tile turns orange if NVD feed is older than 24 h; reverts after an OUK upload 📌.
Live WebSocket updates for scans in progress (SignalR channel).
Quota Tile – shows Scans Today / 333; turns yellow at 200, red at 333.
Token Expiry Tile – shows days left on client.jwt (offline only); turns orange at < 7 days.

### 3.2 Scans Module

View	What you can do
Active	Watch progress bar (ETA ≤ 5 s) – newly added Format and Δ badges appear beside each item.
History	Filter by repo, tag, policy result (pass/block/soft‑fail).
Reports	Click row → HTML or PDF report rendered by backend (`/report/{digest}/html`).

### 3.3 📌 Policies Module (new)

Embedded Monaco editor with YAML + Rego syntax highlighting.

Tab	Capability
Editor	Write or paste `scan-policy.yaml` or inline Rego snippet. Schema validation shown inline.
Import / Export	Buttons map to `/policy/import` and `/policy/export`. Accepts `.yaml`, `.rego`, `.zip` (bundle).
History	Immutable audit log; diff viewer highlights rule changes.

#### 3.3.1 YAML → Rego Bridge

If you paste YAML but enable Strict Mode (toggle), backend converts to Rego under the hood, stores both representations, and shows a side‑by‑side diff.

### 3.4 📌 Settings Enhancements

Setting	Details
SBOM Format	Dropdown – Trivy JSON, SPDX JSON, CycloneDX JSON.
Registry	Displays pull URL (`registry.git.stella-ops.ru`) and Cosign key fingerprint.
Offline Updates (OUK) 📌	Upload *`ouk.tar.gz`** produced by the Offline Update Kit CLI. Backend unpacks, verifies SHA‑256 checksum & Cosign signature, then reloads Redis caches without restart.
Theme	Light, Dark, or Auto (system).

#### 3.4.1 OUK Upload Screen 📌

Page path: Settings → Offline Updates (OUK)
Components:

Drop Zone – drag or select .tar.gz (max 1 GB).
Progress Bar – streaming upload with chunked HTTP.
Verification Step – backend returns status:
- Signature valid ✔️
- Digest mismatch ❌
Feed Preview – table shows NVD date, OUI source build tag, CVE count delta.
Activate – button issues /feeds/activate/{id}; on success the Dashboard “Feed Age” tile refreshes to green.
History List – previous OUK uploads with user, date, version; supports rollback.

All upload actions are recorded in the Policies → History audit log as type ouk_update.

### 3.5 Plugins Panel 🛠 (ships after UI modularisation)

Lists discovered UI plugins; each can inject routes/panels. Toggle on/off without reload.

### 3.6 Settings → Quota & Tokens (new)

View current Client‑JWT claims (tier, maxScansPerDay, expiry).
Generate Offline Token – admin‑only button → POST /token/offline (UI wraps the API).
Upload new token file for manual refresh.

## 4 i18n & l10n

JSON files under /locales.
Russian (ru) ships first‑class, translated security terms align with GOST R ISO/IEC 27002‑2020.
“Offline Update Kit” surfaces as “Оффлайн‑обновление базы уязвимостей” in Russian locale.
Community can add locales by uploading a new JSON via Plugins Panel once 🛠 ships.

## 5 Accessibility

WCAG 2.1 AA conformance targeted.
All color pairs pass contrast (checked by vite-plugin-wcag).
Keyboard navigation fully supported; focus outlines visible in both themes.

## 6 Theming 📌

Layer	How to change
Tailwind	Palette variables under `tailwind.config.js > theme.colors`.
Runtime toggle	Stored in `localStorage.theme`, synced across tabs.
Plugin override	Future route plugins may expose additional palettes 🛠.

## 7 Extensibility Hooks

Area	Contract	Example
New route	`window.stella.registerRoute()`	“Secrets” scanner plugin adds `/secrets` page.
External link	`window.stella.addMenuLink(label, href)`	“Docs” link opens corporate Confluence.
Theme	`window.stella.registerTheme()`	High‑contrast palette for accessibility.

## 8 Road‑Map Tags

Feature	Status
Policy Editor (YAML)	✅
Inline Rego validation	🛠
OUK Upload UI	✅
Plugin Marketplace UI	🚧
SLSA Verification banner	🛠
Rekor Transparency viewer	🚧

## 9 Non‑Commercial Usage Rules 📌

(Extracted & harmonised from the Russian UI help page so that English docs remain licence‑complete.)

Free for internal security assessments.
Commercial resale or SaaS re‑hosting prohibited without prior written consent under AGPL §13.
If you distribute a fork with UI modifications, you must:
- Make the complete source code (including UI assets) publicly available.
- Retain original project attribution in footer.
All dependencies listed in ui/package.json remain under their respective OSS licences (MIT, Apache 2.0, ISC).
Use in government‑classified environments must comply with ФЗ‑187 export rules; consult your legal team.

## 10 Troubleshooting Tips

Symptom	Cause	Remedy
White page after login	`ui/dist/` hash mismatch	Clear browser cache; backend auto‑busts on version change.
Policy editor shows “Unknown field”	YAML schema drift	Sync your policy file to latest sample in Settings → Templates.
OUK upload fails at 99 %	Tarball built with outdated OUK CLI	Upgrade CLI (`ouk --version`) and rebuild package.
Icons look broken in Safari	SVG `mask` unsupported	Use Safari 17+ or switch to PNG icon set in Settings > Advanced.

## 11 Contributing

Run npm dev and open http://localhost:5173.
Ensure ng lint and ng test pass before PR.
Sign the DCO in your commit footer (Signed-off-by).
