Each instance runs its due collectors over one hardened connection per
cycle, keeps previous results for deltas, evaluates all rules and stores
findings, rule states and time series. Instances run in parallel with a
limit; a slow or failing instance never delays the others. The
repository is migrated at startup with retry, and maintenance runs hourly.
End-to-end test against SQL Server with the least-privilege login.

- Versioned, embedded migrations serialized with sp_getapplock so the agent
and web UI can both migrate at startup
- Findings tracked per rule and subject: first seen, last seen, resolved;
a rule that could not run never resolves its findings
- Time series (waits, file I/O, CPU, counters), blocking chains and
deadlock graphs; idempotent inserts (timestamps truncated to match
datetime2(0)), hourly aggregation and batched retention deletes
- Read API for the web UI; integration tests against SQL Server

Collectors (SQL Server 2000+, version-specific SQL, least privilege):
server, configuration, trace flags, databases (settings, backups in UTC,
CHECKDB, VLFs, Query Store, files, tempdb), suspect pages, plan cache,
wait stats and file I/O as deltas with restart/clear detection,
performance counters, CPU from the scheduler monitor ring buffer,
blocking (sleeping head blockers with open transactions), and deadlocks
from system_health continuing from the last file offset.
Rules: configuration (memory, MAXDOP per Microsoft NUMA guidance, cost
threshold, ad hoc bloat, risky options, pending changes), databases
(state, settings, backups, log backups, CHECKDB, suspect pages, VLFs,
autogrowth, max size, Query Store, tempdb), waits (THREADPOOL, signal
waits, locks, I/O, WRITELOG, parallelism, PAGELATCH), I/O latency, CPU,
memory grants, blocking and deadlocks. Missing data makes a rule not
measurable with the collector's reason.
Integration tests run every collector as the least-privilege login and
reproduce real blocking and a real deadlock; green on 2017 and 2022.

All mainstream and extended support end dates checked against Microsoft
sources. SQL Server 2025 added (mainstream ends 2031-01-06, extended
2036-01-06), so the lifecycle rule now evaluates 2025 instead of reporting
it as not measurable.

- .NET 10 solution with Core, Connectivity, Rules, Contracts, Agent, Web and Hub
- Capability model gating collectors and rules by SQL Server version (2000 and later);
rules that cannot run are reported as not measurable, never as passed
- Connectivity via Microsoft.Data.SqlClient with ODBC fallback for legacy instances,
hardened monitoring session settings valid back to SQL Server 2000
- Support lifecycle rule (SQLI-VER-001) with lifecycle data shipped as a rule pack
- Version-aware least-privilege permissions script, verified by integration tests
against SQL Server in Docker (reads monitoring sources, cannot read customer data)
- Forgejo Actions CI, contributing guide, code of conduct, issue templates,
legacy version notes
