Sprint 22 Engineering Log
Program Context
- Phase: Phase 5.6
- Sprint: Sprint 22
- Status: Completed
- Primary Architecture Layers: Control Plane, Federation Integration, Audit Plane
Architectural Intent
Bind execution identity to telemetry federation using a unified cryptographic fingerprint.
Implementation Detail
Completed Sprint 22 controls:
- Defined unified execution fingerprint schema:
manifest_hash + tool_hash + operator_id + tenant_id + policy_decision_hash + timestamp. - Implemented fingerprint generation and deterministic canonical encoding.
- Bound fingerprint generation to RabbitMQ bridge forwarding path before dispatch.
- Persisted fingerprint bind/validate outcomes in tamper-evident integrity audit stream.
- Included execution fingerprint inside VectorVue telemetry metadata and federation bundle.
- Enforced fingerprint validation gate before dispatch to downstream integration target.
- Rejected forwarding when provided fingerprint mismatched computed fingerprint.
- Migrated bridge default behavior to federated gateway path with compatibility fallback for legacy direct API mode.
- Added integration and unit regression coverage for fingerprint integrity controls.
Security and Control Posture
- Federation transport payloads now carry deterministic execution fingerprint identity.
- Tampering attempts with execution fingerprint are denied before dispatch.
- Legacy direct API emission path is no longer default in bridge runtime and is retained only as explicit compatibility mode.
QA and Validation Evidence
Commands:
PYTHONPATH=src .venv/bin/pytest -q tests/unit/test_execution_fingerprint.pyPYTHONPATH=src .venv/bin/pytest -q tests/unit/integration/test_vectorvue_rabbitmq_bridge.pyPYTHONPATH=src .venv/bin/pytest -q tests/unit/integration/test_vectorvue_client.pyPYTHONPATH=src .venv/bin/pytest -q tests/qa/test_sprint22_federation_fingerprint_qa.py
Risk Register
Residual risk:
- Full gateway-side mTLS + Ed25519 hard requirement enforcement is planned under Sprint 23 federation channel hardening tasks.
Forward Linkage
Sprint 23 enforces single outbound federation gateway and removes remaining legacy direct API paths.
