Priority Certified Connectors

Priority Certified Connectors

CAVRA R4.2 adds a public-safe certified connector registry for the first priority provider wave. It builds on the R4.1 connector SDK and covers SCM, CI/CD, SIEM, ITSM, and ChatOps providers.

Certified Provider Set

Group	Providers
SCM	GitHub, GitLab, Azure Repos
CI/CD	GitHub Actions, Jenkins
SIEM	Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel
ITSM	ServiceNow, Jira
ChatOps	Slack, Microsoft Teams

What Is Implemented

• Versioned certified connector manifests under examples/connectors/priority-certified/.
• Built-in registry and compatibility matrix in src/cavra/certified_connectors.py.
• Readiness packet validator in scripts/validate_priority_connectors.py.
• Delivery request-spec support for GitHub, GitLab, Azure Repos, GitHub Actions, and Jenkins in addition to the existing Splunk, Sentinel, ServiceNow, Jira, Slack, and Teams paths.
• Sample and sanitized live evidence packets.
• Strict CI workflow and tests.

Validation Commands

python3 scripts/validate_priority_connectors.py --registry
python3 scripts/validate_priority_connectors.py --manifest-dir examples/connectors/priority-certified
python3 scripts/validate_priority_connectors.py --packet examples/connectors/enterprise-priority-connectors.sample.json
python3 scripts/validate_priority_connectors.py --packet examples/connectors/enterprise-priority-connectors.live.sanitized.example.json --require-live
python3 -m pytest tests/test_certified_connectors.py -q

Operating Boundary

The public repository now certifies the manifest contract, provider coverage, compatibility matrix, request-spec generation, credential redaction behavior, and readiness packet shape. Customer production use still requires tenant-specific credential custody, provider sandbox evidence, firewall allowlisting, webhook or token rotation, and support ownership records.
