Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Evidence subject linking looks mergeable. One narrow open concern remains: two subject templates that match the same plugin and identity labels can overwrite each other's component rendering. Owners should be aware of it or follow up. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟠 High · up to Evidence submission can now expose stored subject names without the permissions required to read those subjects directly. It can also modify an existing shared component before submission validation or persistence succeeds. These changes affect confidentiality, asset integrity, and failure containment. Retained concerns

Copilot review overview
🔵 Needs a closer look
It touches evidence signature canonicalization, a raw-SQL primary-key migration with an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, new public endpoints/auth wiring, and cross-repo SDK contracts, all of which warrant human verification of mixed-version rollout safety.

What changed in this PR
This PR adds first-class "evidence subject linking" to the API. Instead of only carrying legacy identifier-based subjects, evidence can now be attributed to real entities (defined components, SSP system components, parties, users) through a new EvidenceSubjectReference model. Subjects arrive three ways: derived from plugin subject templates matching evidence labels, declared explicitly by the submitter via subject-uuid, or kept as legacy identifiers. It also adds an optional requirement that agent/user evidence be attributed to a subject, a GET /subjects discovery endpoint, and a GET /evidence/config endpoint. Subject references are folded into the evidence signature (backward-compatibly) and exposed on evidence responses, and the SDK/agent types gain display-priority/component-type plus warning reporting.
Changes:
- New
EvidenceSubjectReferencemodel, subject-building/requirement logic in the evidence service, and subject references added to the signing canonical form (omitted when empty for backward compatibility). - New
subjectsservice +GET /subjectshandler, plusGET /evidence/config,subjectUuidsearch filter, and config flagsCCF_EVIDENCE_REQUIRE_SUBJECT/CCF_MANUAL_EVIDENCE_REQUIRE_SUBJECT. - Subject-template resolver refactor that materialises per-plugin
DefinedComponents (widening theComponentDefinitionIdentityprimary key via a guarded Postgres migration), plusdisplay-priority/component-typefields through the SDK, handlers, models, and generated docs.

Prevent different templates from sharing one identity hash.
Selector matching allows templates to differ on non-identity labels. Two ingests can therefore select different templates for the same plugin and identity labels. Because the identity hash excludes the template ID, the existing-identity path updates the same DefinedComponent with whichever rendering runs last.
Use a template-scoped identity hash for component templates. Do not use a transaction or unchanged-value check as the correction for this conflict.

- Report a component definition resolver failure instead of "no subject" when the evidence then fails its subject requirement, so agents get a retryable 5xx rather than a permanent 400. - De-duplicate declared subject UUIDs, skip ones a template already derived, and reject more than subjects.MaxLookupIDs with a 400. - Return api.InternalServerError() from GET /subjects instead of the raw DB error. - Propagate the request context through the subjects service. - Skip the DefinedComponent update on ingest when the rendered values are unchanged. - List CCF_EVIDENCE_REQUIRE_SUBJECT and CCF_MANUAL_EVIDENCE_REQUIRE_SUBJECT in .env.example. - Move migrateComponentDefinitionIdentityKey above the doc comment of migrateSSPProfileIDToJoinTable.

🔵 Needs a closer look
It spans a primary-key migration, signing canonicalization, and new raw SQL with a likely text=uuid join error in the subjects service, all of which warrant human verification against the integration suite.
