Subject: [PATCH 01/26] ci(build): add Rust coverage workflow and codecov.yml
 mirroring upstream hve-core pattern

- add .github/workflows/rust-tests.yml with 3-crate matrix using cargo-llvm-cov

- add repo-root codecov.yml registering the rust flag with carryforward

- pin codecov-action@57e3a136... (v6.0.0) and use OIDC per upstream

- ignore wasm32-wasip2 crates and target/** from coverage

- leave azure-pipelines.yml unchanged

Resolves #155

+# Rust Crate Registration Instructions
+
+These rules govern how Rust application crates under `src/500-application/**` are registered with CI and Codecov. They complement the broader Rust guidance in [.github/instructions/rust.instructions.md](.github/instructions/rust.instructions.md) ("Workspace Architecture" section) and are enforced by an automated CI gate (see "CI Gate" below).
+
+Every Rust crate under `src/500-application/**` MUST be either:
+
+1. **Registered for coverage** in all three locations described in [Required Registration](#required-registration), OR
+2. **Explicitly opted out** via the [Coverage Opt-Out](#coverage-opt-out) path in `codecov.yml`.
+
+There is no third option. PRs that add or restructure a Rust crate without satisfying one of the above will fail the `validate-rust-registration` CI gate.
+
+<!-- <rust-crate-registration-instructions> -->
+
+## Required Registration
+
+When a Rust crate participates in coverage, it MUST be registered in **all three** of the following locations. Missing any one of them is a CI failure.
+
+### 1. `.github/workflows/rust-tests.yml` matrix
+
+Add the crate's repo-relative path to `jobs.coverage.strategy.matrix.crate`:
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  coverage:
+    strategy:
+      matrix:
+        crate:
+          - src/500-application/503-media-capture-service
+          - src/500-application/507-ai-inference
+          - src/500-application/507-ai-inference/ai-edge-inference-crate
+          - src/500-application/NNN-your-new-crate   # <-- add here
+```
+
+The path MUST be the directory containing the crate's `Cargo.toml`.
+
+### 2. `.github/workflows/rust-tests.yml` triggers
+
+Add a glob covering the crate to **both** `on.pull_request.paths` and `on.push.paths`. The two arrays MUST stay in sync:
+
+```yaml
+on:
+  pull_request:
+    paths:
+      - "src/500-application/503-media-capture-service/**"
+      - "src/500-application/507-ai-inference/**"
+      - "src/500-application/NNN-your-new-crate/**"   # <-- add here
+      - "Cargo.toml"
+      - ".github/workflows/rust-tests.yml"
+      - "codecov.yml"
+  push:
+    branches: [main, dev]
+    paths:
+      - "src/500-application/503-media-capture-service/**"
+      - "src/500-application/507-ai-inference/**"
+      - "src/500-application/NNN-your-new-crate/**"   # <-- add here
+      - "Cargo.toml"
+      - ".github/workflows/rust-tests.yml"
+      - "codecov.yml"
+```
+
+### 3. `codecov.yml` rust flag paths
+
+Add a glob covering the crate to `flags.rust.paths` so Codecov associates uploaded coverage with the `rust` flag:
+
+```yaml
+flags:
+  rust:
+    paths:
+      - "src/500-application/503-media-capture-service/**"
+      - "src/500-application/507-ai-inference/**"
+      - "src/500-application/NNN-your-new-crate/**"   # <-- add here
+    carryforward: true
+```
+
+## Coverage Opt-Out
+
+Crates that are intentionally excluded from coverage (for example, experimental scaffolding, WASM operators with no host-side test surface, or crates pending refactor) MUST be listed in `codecov.yml` under `ignore`:
+
+```yaml
+ignore:
+  - "src/500-application/501-rust-telemetry/**"
+  - "src/500-application/NNN-your-new-crate/**"   # <-- opt out here
+  - "target/**"
+```
+
+When a crate is listed under `ignore`, it MUST NOT appear in the `rust-tests.yml` matrix or in `flags.rust.paths`. The CI gate treats ignored crates as fully satisfying the registration requirement.
+
+## CI Gate
+
+The workflow `.github/workflows/validate-rust-registration.yml` runs the script `scripts/Validate-RustCrateRegistration.ps1` on every PR that touches `src/500-application/**`, `.github/workflows/rust-tests.yml`, `codecov.yml`, or the validator itself. The gate fails the build with an itemized report when any crate under `src/500-application/**` is neither fully registered (all three locations) nor explicitly opted out.
+
+## Local Validation
+
+Run before opening a PR:
+
+```pwsh
+pwsh ./scripts/Validate-RustCrateRegistration.ps1
+```
+
+Tests live in `scripts/Validate-RustCrateRegistration.Tests.ps1` and are gated by `.github/workflows/validate-rust-registration.yml` on PR.
+
+## Example: Adding a New Crate
+
+For a hypothetical new crate at `src/500-application/520-example-service`, the registration diff is:
+
+```diff
+ # .github/workflows/rust-tests.yml
+   pull_request:
+     paths:
+       - "src/500-application/503-media-capture-service/**"
+       - "src/500-application/507-ai-inference/**"
++      - "src/500-application/520-example-service/**"
+       - "Cargo.toml"
+       - ".github/workflows/rust-tests.yml"
+       - "codecov.yml"
+   push:
+     branches: [main, dev]
+     paths:
+       - "src/500-application/503-media-capture-service/**"
+       - "src/500-application/507-ai-inference/**"
++      - "src/500-application/520-example-service/**"
+       - "Cargo.toml"
+       - ".github/workflows/rust-tests.yml"
+       - "codecov.yml"
+   matrix:
+     crate:
+       - src/500-application/503-media-capture-service
+       - src/500-application/507-ai-inference
+       - src/500-application/507-ai-inference/ai-edge-inference-crate
++      - src/500-application/520-example-service
+```
+
+```diff
+ # codecov.yml
+ flags:
+   rust:
+     paths:
+       - "src/500-application/503-media-capture-service/**"
+       - "src/500-application/507-ai-inference/**"
++      - "src/500-application/520-example-service/**"
+     carryforward: true
+```
+
+To opt out instead, omit both diffs above and add a single `ignore` entry to `codecov.yml`.

-The path MUST be the directory containing the crate's `Cargo.toml`.
+The `crate` value MUST be the directory containing the crate's `Cargo.toml`. When adding an entry, also bump the `vuln-scan` job's `matrix.index` array so its length matches the number of `include:` entries (zero-based indices).
 
-### 2. `.github/workflows/rust-tests.yml` triggers
+### 2. `scripts/build/Detect-Folder-Changes.ps1` change-detection regex
 
-Add a glob covering the crate to **both** `on.pull_request.paths` and `on.push.paths`. The two arrays MUST stay in sync:
+`rust-tests.yml` is a reusable workflow (`on: workflow_call`) and has no path triggers of its own. It is invoked by the `rust-tests` job in `pr-validation.yml`, which is gated by the `changesInRust` output of the shared `matrix-changes` job (the reusable `matrix-folder-check.yml` workflow). That output is computed by `scripts/build/Detect-Folder-Changes.ps1`, which matches the diffed PR file list against this regex:

Subject: [PATCH 15/26] fix(workflows): use canonical tarball filenames for
 syft/grype sha256 verification
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

sha256sum -c reads filenames from upstream *_checksums.txt and looks for those exact names on disk. Saving tarballs as syft.tar.gz / grype.tar.gz caused (syft) or risked (grype) 'No such file or directory' verification failures. Introduce *_TARBALL variables holding canonical upstream filenames.

Subject: [PATCH 23/26] chore(ci): narrow SBOM scan to repo sources
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Replace syft scan dir:/ (with 8 runner-path excludes) with syft scan dir:. so the SBOM only covers checked-out sources. Runner OS / toolchain CVEs are GitHub's responsibility and not gated by this workflow. Also drop a stale .gitignore entry for docs/merge-override-diagnosis.md (file is not tracked).
