 - `DeploymentController` — `/api/v1/environments/{envSlug}/apps/{appSlug}/deployments`. GET list / POST create (body `{ appVersionId }`) / POST `{id}/stop` / POST `{id}/promote` (body `{ targetEnvironment: slug }` — target app slug must exist in target env) / GET `{id}/logs`. All lifecycle ops (`POST /` deploy, `POST /{id}/stop`, `POST /{id}/promote`) audited under `AuditCategory.DEPLOYMENT`. Action codes: `deploy_app`, `stop_deployment`, `promote_deployment`. Acting user resolved via the `user:` prefix-strip convention; both SUCCESS and FAILURE branches write audit rows. `created_by` (TEXT, nullable) populated from `SecurityContextHolder` and surfaced on the `Deployment` DTO.
 - `ApplicationConfigController` — `/api/v1/environments/{envSlug}`. GET `/config` (list), GET/PUT `/apps/{appSlug}/config`, GET `/apps/{appSlug}/processor-routes`, POST `/apps/{appSlug}/config/test-expression`. PUT accepts `?apply=staged|live` (default `live`). `live` saves to DB and pushes `CONFIG_UPDATE` SSE to live agents in this env (existing behavior); `staged` saves to DB only, skipping the SSE push — used by the unified app deployment page. Audit action is `stage_app_config` for staged writes, `update_app_config` for live. Invalid `apply` values return 400.
 - `AppSettingsController` — `/api/v1/environments/{envSlug}`. GET `/app-settings` (list), GET/PUT/DELETE `/apps/{appSlug}/settings`. ADMIN/OPERATOR only.
-- `SearchController` — `/api/v1/environments/{envSlug}`. GET `/executions`, POST `/executions/search`, GET `/stats`, `/stats/timeseries`, `/stats/timeseries/by-app`, `/stats/timeseries/by-route`, `/stats/punchcard`, `/attributes/keys`, `/errors/top`.
+- `SearchController` — `/api/v1/environments/{envSlug}`. GET `/executions`, POST `/executions/search`, GET `/stats`, `/stats/timeseries`, `/stats/timeseries/by-app`, `/stats/timeseries/by-route`, `/stats/punchcard`, `/attributes/keys`, `/errors/top`. GET `/executions` accepts repeat `attr` query params: `attr=order` (key-exists), `attr=order:47` (exact), `attr=order:4*` (wildcard — `*` maps to SQL LIKE `%`). First `:` splits key/value; later colons stay in the value. Invalid keys → 400. POST `/executions/search` accepts the same filters via `SearchRequest.attributeFilters` in the body.
 - `LogQueryController` — GET `/api/v1/environments/{envSlug}/logs` (filters: source (multi, comma-split, OR-joined), level (multi, comma-split, OR-joined), application, agentId, exchangeId, logger, q, time range, instanceIds (multi, comma-split, AND-joined as WHERE instance_id IN (...) — used by the Checkpoint detail drawer to scope logs to a deployment's replicas); sort asc/desc). Cursor-paginated, returns `{ data, nextCursor, hasMore, levelCounts }`; cursor is base64url of `"{timestampIso}|{insert_id_uuid}"` — same-millisecond tiebreak via the `insert_id` UUID column on `logs`.
 - `RouteCatalogController` — GET `/api/v1/environments/{envSlug}/routes` (merged route catalog from registry + ClickHouse; env filter unconditional).
 - `RouteMetricsController` — GET `/api/v1/environments/{envSlug}/routes/metrics`, GET `/api/v1/environments/{envSlug}/routes/metrics/processors`.

 ## search/ — Execution search and stats
 
 - `SearchService` — search, count, stats, statsForApp, statsForRoute, timeseries, timeseriesForApp, timeseriesForRoute, timeseriesGroupedByApp, timeseriesGroupedByRoute, slaCompliance, slaCountsByApp, slaCountsByRoute, topErrors, activeErrorTypes, punchcard, distinctAttributeKeys. `statsForRoute`/`timeseriesForRoute` take `(routeId, applicationId)` — app filter is applied to `stats_1m_route`.
-- `SearchRequest` / `SearchResult` — search DTOs
+- `SearchRequest` / `SearchResult` — search DTOs. `SearchRequest.attributeFilters: List<AttributeFilter>` carries structured facet filters for execution attributes — key-only (exists), exact (key=value), or wildcard (`*` in value). The 21-arg legacy ctor is preserved for call-site churn; the compact ctor normalises null → `List.of()`.
+- `AttributeFilter(key, value)` — record with key regex `^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+$` (inlined into SQL, same constraint as alerting), `value == null` means key-exists, `value` containing `*` becomes a SQL LIKE pattern via `toLikePattern()`.
 - `ExecutionStats`, `ExecutionSummary` — stats aggregation records
 - `StatsTimeseries`, `TopError` — timeseries and error DTOs
 - `LogSearchRequest` / `LogSearchResponse` — log search DTOs. `LogSearchRequest.sources` / `levels` are `List<String>` (null-normalized, multi-value OR); `cursor` + `limit` + `sort` drive keyset pagination. Response carries `nextCursor` + `hasMore` + per-level `levelCounts`.
