Rules can now be data: a JSON file with one read-only SELECT where every
row is a finding, with {column} templates, server or per-database scope,
minimum version, sensitive columns and references. Community rules live
in rules/community (reviewed via pull request), ship with every build
and with the signed rule pack; local rules are read from the agent's
data folder every five minutes. Queries are checked for anything that
could write, run with the least-privilege login, and a missing
permission makes the rule not measurable rather than failing. The
rule engine picks up catalog changes without a restart. Authors get
'rules validate' and 'rules test --instance'. Four example community
rules (sa active, orphaned database owners, default trace off,
untrusted foreign keys).

A PDF report for management and auditors (PDFsharp/MigraDoc, MIT, with
the Inter font embedded): key figures, a plain-language summary,
compliance controls backed by rules (met, not met, not measured),
instances and the critical and high findings. Downloadable from the
web UI (/rapporter) and mailed monthly by the agent with the PDF
attached, once per month, across daylight saving changes.

Hub: nightly retention of resolved findings, the submission log and
silent instances; delete-customer erases a customer's data and blocks
its licenses; persistent data protection keys and trusted reverse
proxies. Docker image and compose file with PostgreSQL. The agent
refuses to send the license to a non-https hub. Documentation for the
hub, for data processing (GDPR basis for a data processing agreement)
and the README roadmap for phase 3.

- Managed Instance reports 12.0.2000.8 but is evergreen: treated as the
newest engine with all capabilities; new SelfManagedInfrastructure
capability so backup, CHECKDB, files, tempdb, memory, patch level and
lifecycle rules report 'handled by Azure' instead of false findings
- Microsoft Entra ID login (managed identity, service principal, default
credential chain) via SqlConnection.AccessTokenCallback
- Least-privilege script recognizes Managed Instance; deadlock collector
falls back to the ring buffer when event files cannot be read
- Web UI shows the right release for Managed Instance
- README and installation docs: notifications and Managed Instance
- Catalog test: 61 rules with unique, well-formed ids
Integration suite green on SQL Server 2017 and 2022.

SQLI-VER-002 flags instances behind the newest known CU, security update
or final service pack (catalog as of 2026-09-29, shipped as rule pack
data and called out when older than 120 days).

- .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

Least-privilege permissions per version, collector overhead safeguards,
separate repository instance, controlled/offline updates, container test
matrix, and SQL Server 2016 marked as out of support.
