Summary\n\nDefine the planned deterministic security-scanning build loop from the existing ISecurityScanningPort. The authoritative gate belongs in CI/release orchestration, while a Foundation SecurityScanningEngine owns verdict policy and scanner adapters own tool invocation and evidence persistence.\n\nDocumentation only: no engine, adapter, workflow, runtime, deployment, Azure, profile, secret, or branch-protection change.\n\n## Changes\n\n- add PRD requirements for exact-target security qualification, authenticated provenance, deterministic gate evaluation, controlled DAST replay, and fail-closed protected gates\n- accept ADR-004 placing admission in CI/release orchestration rather than DurableWorkflowEngine\n- specify compatible evolution of ISecurityScanningPort, engine/adapter boundaries, evidence, suppression, cancellation, history authorization, and test plans\n- add the failure-response runbook and PRD index entry\n\n## Related Issues\n\n- Baton 5ef6ea85\n- Parent Baton �b8da69d\n\n## Architecture Layer\n\n- [x] FoundationLayer\n- [ ] ReasoningLayer\n- [ ] MetacognitiveLayer\n- [ ] AgencyLayer\n- [ ] BusinessApplications\n- [x] Infrastructure / CI/CD\n\n## Checklist\n\n- [x] Code compiles without warnings (dotnet build passes with TreatWarningsAsErrors)\n- [x] XML documentation added for all new public types (N/A: no public types added)\n- [x] Unit tests added or updated (N/A: documentation-only)\n- [x] All tests pass (dotnet test)\n- [x] No circular dependencies introduced between layers\n- [x] No secrets or credentials committed\n\n## Test Plan\n\n- dotnet build CognitiveMesh.sln — 0 warnings, 0 errors\n- dotnet test CognitiveMesh.sln --no-build — 586 passed, 0 failed\n- git diff --check — clean\n- hosted Build and Analyze, PRD Migration Check, CodeRabbit, and Kilo review must pass on the final head\n\n## Screenshots\n\nNot applicable; documentation-only change.

Changes

Deterministic security scanning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Gate placement and architectural boundaries
docs/planning/ADR-004-deterministic-security-scan-gate-placement.md
Defines CI and release orchestration as the location for deterministic security gates. It specifies exact-target scanning, fail-closed behavior, port reuse, evidence ownership, and rejected alternatives.
Scanning requirements and technical design
docs/prds/00-README.md, docs/prds/01-foundational-infrastructure/deterministic-security-scanning-build-loop.md, docs/spec/deterministic-security-scanning.md
Defines required scan coverage, immutable inputs, deterministic verdicts, evidence retention, suppression rules, DAST controls, rollout requirements, and implementation constraints.
Security-scan failure response
docs/runbooks/security-scan-failure-response.md
Defines evidence capture, triage, remediation, scanner-failure handling, escalation, DAST checks, recovery, and closeout procedures.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b2754

This documentation-only PR defines a security-scanning contract but currently leaves per-scan threshold handling inconsistent and makes compatibility of the existing gate API optional; implementers could enforce mixed policies incorrectly or break existing callers when the design is built. Clarify these contracts before merging, and explicitly test that evidence is bound to the attested policy digest.

| Evidence repository | Foundation persistence boundary | Stores manifests, normalized results, native-report digests, suppression records, and verdicts. |
| CI composition host | Build tooling / composition root | Parses exact build inputs, resolves `ISecurityScanningPort`, invokes scan and validation operations, and maps the verdict to a process exit code. It contains no scanner-specific logic. |

No `SecurityScanningEngine` is required for the planned build loop. Domain policy should remain explicit and testable, but a pass-through engine would add a layer without behavior.

P1 Badge Move security verdict policy into an engine

Do not rule out the engine while assigning suppression eligibility and pass/fail computation to the adapter in ScanAsync steps 8–9. Expiry, scope, and threshold evaluation are business policy rather than scanner adaptation, so implementing this specification would place business logic in an adapter and violate the repository's required layer boundary; keep scanner invocation and persistence in adapters and put verdict policy in a {Concept}Engine.

### FR-3: Deterministic verdict

Given the same target digest, scanner digest, policy digest, configuration digest, vulnerability-data snapshot, and approved-suppression set, the normalized findings and pass/fail verdict must be identical. Timestamps, runner identifiers, log ordering, and retry count may vary but must not influence the verdict.

P1 Badge Include suppression evaluation time in deterministic inputs

Add an immutable suppression-evaluation instant (or equivalent policy epoch) to this tuple. With the current requirements, rerunning identical inputs immediately before and after an otherwise unchanged suppression expires produces different pass/fail verdicts, because FR-4 and the specification require expired suppressions to fail; therefore the promised deterministic replay cannot hold, and retained evidence cannot reproduce the original decision.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/prds/00-README.md`:
- Line 30: Update the folder tree in the README to include the
01-foundational-infrastructure directory containing
deterministic-security-scanning-build-loop.md, or explicitly document that
nested PRD directories are omitted so the tree and index remain consistent.

In `@docs/runbooks/security-scan-failure-response.md`:
- Line 39: Update the first triage step in the runbook to also verify the exact
protected-branch SHA and produced artifact digests for protected builds,
alongside the existing pull-request head or release-artifact identity checks,
before accepting failure evidence.
- Around line 114-123: Update the incident or failed-check closeout criteria to
require a successful DAST cleanup outcome, or an explicitly tracked cleanup
exception when cleanup fails. Preserve the existing DAST evidence requirement
and express the cleanup status as a required closeout condition.
- Around line 101-108: Update the escalation table in the security-scan failure
response runbook to cover any finding at or above the configured severity
threshold, rather than only high and critical findings. Add a threshold-based
row or explicitly define handling for medium and low thresholds while preserving
the existing ownership, escalation, and failed-gate behavior.

In `@docs/spec/deterministic-security-scanning.md`:
- Around line 1-13: Add the required four-way capability
classification—implemented, experimental, planned, and blocked—to the status
sections of both docs/spec/deterministic-security-scanning.md (lines 1-13) and
docs/runbooks/security-scan-failure-response.md (lines 1-13), covering the
current content and future enforcement without changing unrelated documentation.
- Around line 73-78: Update the DAST section and deterministic
verdict/acceptance rules to address candidate-environment state, runtime
dependencies, test data, and feature flags: either require an immutable
environment/configuration snapshot with deterministic controls where supported,
or explicitly define a DAST reproducibility exception and adjust the verdict and
acceptance criteria accordingly. Preserve the SecurityScanResult.Passed and
ErrorMessage compatibility requirements while documenting the selected behavior.
- Around line 94-95: Update the ScanMultipleAsync specification to distinguish
per-scan cancellation from cancellation by its caller: define whether a
cancelled individual scan produces a SecurityScanResult with Cancelled, while
caller-token cancellation terminates the overall operation by throwing. Specify
how completed and cancelled partial results are persisted and ensure any
cancelled or failed required scan maps to a failed qualifying gate without
discarding other results.
- Around line 139-141: Define the authorization context for GetScanHistoryAsync,
including the authenticated caller identity, required scope checks, and
deny-by-default behavior; alternatively document the trusted service boundary
that establishes these guarantees before rollout. Update the scan-history
specification so the chosen authorization model is explicit and applies to every
request.
- Around line 42-61: Update ValidateBuildSecurityGateAsync to require
authenticated CI/release provenance for qualifying evidence, verifying Mode,
BuildId, CommitSha, and ArtifactDigest before acceptance. Reject evidence
lacking valid provenance or with mismatched identity fields, while preserving
local advisory evidence as non-qualifying.

61-73: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Represent per-scan thresholds in the port contract.

At Line 61, SecurityScanInputManifest carries one FailThreshold. The supplied ISecurityScanningPort.ScanMultipleAsync contract in src/FoundationLayer/Security/Ports/ISecurityScanningPort.cs Lines 153-213 also accepts one threshold for the complete scanTypes collection. At Line 73, this specification requires authoritative per-type thresholds and exact caller matching. A policy with different thresholds for SAST, secrets, and dependency scans cannot be represented. An implementation must either reject a valid policy or collapse thresholds and weaken a required scan. Define a versioned per-scan threshold map under the same port boundary, or constrain the policy to one global threshold and update the PRD and tests. The PRD also makes these thresholds authoritative at Line 75.

Proposed contract clarification
- `FailThreshold` | Existing `SecuritySeverity`. |
+ `Thresholds` | Immutable map from each required `SecurityScanType` to its `SecuritySeverity`. |

Code Review Summary

Status: No Issues Found | Recommendation: Merge

Incremental Review

This incremental review covers commit 63c14dd (vs previous review at b275413). Only docs/spec/deterministic-security-scanning.md changed (5 insertions, 2 deletions).

The changes extend policy-digest attestation matching and tighten legacy gate API compatibility:

  • Added evidence_policy_digest_matches_attested_policy_digest to the gate pass predicate; evidence manifest PolicyDigest must equal the attested PolicyDigest or fail closed with evidence_policy_digest_missing_or_mismatch.
  • Added PolicyDigest to the attestation-matching field list alongside Mode, BuildId, CommitSha, ArtifactDigest, and PolicyEvaluationInstant.
  • Stated the legacy ValidateBuildSecurityGateAsync(buildId, requiredScanTypes, CancellationToken) signature explicitly; verified against ISecurityScanningPort.cs:209-212. Required the structured decision as an additive versioned overload/contract with a deprecation/migration path before any port version change.
  • Added contract test items for PolicyDigest attestation rejection and structured-decision backward compatibility.

PolicyDigest is already defined in the deterministic input model (line 65) as the digest of canonical policy content and was already referenced as attested on line 74. The new predicate follows existing snake_case naming and the reason-code pattern established by policy_evaluation_instant_missing_or_mismatch. The explicit method signature matches the port definition exactly.

These changes address the prior CodeRabbit finding on versioned compatibility path for the Boolean gate API. Internally consistent; no new issues introduced.

Status: No Issues Found | Recommendation: Merge

Incremental Review

This incremental review covers commit b275413 (vs previous review at fae7a7ab). Only docs/spec/deterministic-security-scanning.md changed (4 insertions, 2 deletions).

The changes tighten legacy gate qualification criteria:

  • Legacy ValidateBuildSecurityGateAsync may qualify only when persisted evidence contains a complete RequiredScanThresholds map bound to the attested PolicyDigest (fail-closed).
  • Boolean return gated on validating the persisted threshold map; adds reason code required_scan_thresholds_missing_or_mismatch.
  • Contract test coverage added for legacy scalar and structured batch behavior.

These changes address the previous CodeRabbit finding on legacy gate threshold evidence and are internally consistent. No new issues introduced.

In `@docs/spec/deterministic-security-scanning.md`:
- Line 74: Clarify the legacy ValidateBuildSecurityGateAsync contract by
explicitly choosing whether it may produce qualifying decisions; if so, require
and validate a policy-bound RequiredScanThresholds map in persisted evidence,
otherwise mark it non-qualifying and require the structured overload. Add
contract coverage showing scalar ScanMultipleAsync rejects heterogeneous
thresholds while the structured request preserves the complete per-type map.

74-74: 🔒 Security & Privacy

Verify and test PolicyDigest binding.

Line 74 requires evidence to use the attested PolicyDigest. The gate predicate does not explicitly require the evidence PolicyDigest to equal the attested digest. Confirm that every_input_digest_is_verified includes this equality. If it does not, add an explicit failure reason and a mismatch contract test at Line 214.

Also applies to: 213-214
