# Daily bounded SBOM catch-up via sbom-nexus
## Goal
Replace `weekly-sbom-staleness` / `flag-stale-sbom` with a **daily**
ActivityDefinition that:
1. Evaluates fleet SBOM freshness through **sbom-nexus** (one ranked catch-up
call, not a per-repo walk and not a `for_each` over every stale repo).
2. **Updates N** SBOM snapshots for the repos that have lacked a current SBOM
the longest. **N defaults to 3** (`catch_up_limit`).
Parent coordination: **CUST-WP-0062**. Do not enable this schedule until the
catch-up API exists.
## Current failure mode
Monday 2026-08-17 prod fire spawned **75** `Run SBOM rescan for {slug}` tasks.
The rule is `for_each: context.repos.repos` where
`context.repo.sbom_age_days > 30`. On 2026-08-18 the hub listed **111 / 111**
repos stale or never scanned. The weekly check reports the backlog; it does
not close it.
`repo_sbom_status` bulk mode already uses `GET /repos/` (age from
`last_sbom_at`) rather than N `/sbom/{slug}` calls. That is still the wrong
shape for catch-up: the worker materialises every repo, then emits one task
each. The replacement must ask sbom-nexus for **only N targets** and then
**ingest** them.
## Tasks
### Draft definition and resolver contract
```task
id: ACTIVITY-WP-0030-T01
status: todo
priority: high
```
Write `activity-definitions/daily-sbom-catchup.md` (`enabled: false` until
cutover): weekday or daily cron, Berlin morning after triage is fine.
Context source: sbom-nexus `catch_up` with `limit` default 3. Deterministic
progress (`event_type: sbom_catchup`) listing selected / updated / skipped.
No `for_each` over the full stale set.
Resolver contract (implement against a test double until CUST-WP-0062-T03
lands):
- input: `{limit: 3}`
- output: `{repos: [...], stale_count, never_count, total_count, limit}`
- each repo: `repo_slug`, `last_sbom_at`, `sbom_age_days`, `has_sbom`,
`checkout_available` if known
### Implement ingest side-effect for N targets
```task
id: ACTIVITY-WP-0030-T02
status: wait
priority: high
```
Wait on CUST-WP-0062-T03. Bounded side-effect (SCOPE: declared purpose only):
for each of the N repos, call sbom-nexus ingest using the registered checkout
when present. Record skip reasons (`no-checkout`, `no-manifest`, `ingest-error`)
in the run artefact and progress event. Do not spawn Forgejo issues
(ACTIVITY-WP-0022). Do not retry a recorded skip as if it were still the
oldest never-scanned repo.
### Retire weekly task flood
```task
id: ACTIVITY-WP-0030-T03
status: wait
priority: high
```
After the daily job is proven on railiance01: set
`weekly-sbom-staleness` `enabled: false` (or remove `flag-stale-sbom`), keep
or drop the weekly summary report only if it no longer emits one task per
repo. Update runbook / playbook. Prove one Monday window with zero SBOM task
spawns and a successful daily catch-up the same week.
### Prod enable and evidence
```task
id: ACTIVITY-WP-0030-T04
status: wait
priority: medium
```
Project the definition into `k8s/railiance/20-runtime.yaml`, sync schedules,
and capture prod evidence via `./scripts/prod_automation_status.sh` plus the
`sbom_catchup` progress event. Confirm `tasks_spawned` is 0 and N updates
(or documented skips) appear per fire.
## Acceptance
- [ ] Daily definition exists; weekly flood is off
- [ ] Evaluation is one sbom-nexus catch-up call
- [ ] Each fire updates at most N repos (default 3)
- [ ] Progress names the repos and skip reasons
- [ ] Railiance01 evidence for at least two successful daily fires
