Why pick Stella Ops?
Legacy scanners are slow, SaaS‑locked and opaque. Stella Ops closes the gap with an open, sovereign‑by‑design toolkit that scans a warm image in ≈ 5 s and is free up to 333 scans / UTC day.
Open & auditable
AGPL‑3.0‑or‑later, reproducible builds and a signed SPDX SBOM with every release.
Sovereign from day one
Runs fully offline; curl one signed Offline Kit and you're done.
Modular core
Plug‑in SDK lets you add scanners, policies or result sinks—no fork required (hot‑load arrives post v1.0).
Fast CI feedback
Δ‑SBOM warm path ≈ 5 s on a 4‑vCPU runner; nightly auto‑re‑scan of passed SBOMs in alpha.
Missing‑in‑market extras
⟶ Zastava detector for forbidden base images (β)
⟶ Private registry sweeper (β)
⟶ AI remediation advisor (RC)
Generous quotas
33 scans/UTC day anonymous → 333 with a one‑click e‑mail token. Soft reminder 90% of daily quota; soft‑delay for the first 33 over‑limit scans, then random slowdowns until 00:00.
Air‑gap ready — see Offline Kit.
