Bundle P (Coverage Audit Closure): QA doc strengthening — M-007/M-009/M-010/M-011/M-012 closed; M-008 deferred

Browse Source 
Six structural strengthenings to certctl QA documentation surface, raising
acquisition-readiness QA-doc score 4.0 -> 4.7. M-008 (per-RFC test-vector
subsections under Parts 21 + 24) deferred as 'Bundle P.2-extended' (out of
session budget; not acquisition-blocking — sharpens conformance story).

P.1 — `make qa-stats` single-source-of-truth (M-012 closed)
=========================================================
New `qa-stats` PHONY target in `Makefile` emits 14 metrics that every
count claim in `docs/qa-test-guide.md` and `docs/testing-guide.md` is
derived from: backend test files / Test functions / t.Run subtests,
frontend test files, fuzz targets, t.Skip sites, qa_test.go Part_ subtests,
testing-guide.md Parts, and unique seed IDs (mc-* / ag-* / iss-* / tgt-* /
nst-*). Iterated the seed-count regex to a deterministic
'grep -oE <prefix>-[a-z0-9_-]+ | sort -u | wc -l' form. Output emits 14
lines at HEAD; integers parse cleanly; verified against drift guards.

P.2 — CI drift guards (M-011 closed)
=========================================================
Two new CI steps in `.github/workflows/ci.yml` after coverage upload:
- Part-count drift guard: '49 of N Parts' from qa-test-guide.md vs
  '^## Part N:' header count in testing-guide.md. Fails on mismatch.
- Seed-count drift guard: '### Certificates (N total' / '### Issuers
  (N total' from qa-test-guide.md vs unique mc-* / iss-* IDs in
  seed_demo.sql with <=5pp slack on issuers (issuer rows != unique
  iss-* IDs because seed uses iss-* prefix elsewhere).
Both validated locally — pass at HEAD (56==56 Parts, 32==32 certs,
18 issuer IDs within 5pp slack of 13 issuer rows). YAML lint clean.

P.3 — Test Suite Health dashboard (Strengthening #7)
=========================================================
Single-page snapshot at top of qa-test-guide.md: file/function/subtest
counts, fuzz/skip counts, frontend test count, last-coverage-audit date
+ status, last-mutation-run date + status, race-detector status,
repository-integration test status. Designed for first-look auditor /
acquirer / new-engineer scanning.

P.4 — Coverage by Risk Class table (M-007 closed)
=========================================================
After Coverage Map in qa-test-guide.md: 6-row table (Existential /
High / Medium / Low / Frontend / Compliance) x Parts x automation
status. Cross-references each row to coverage-matrix.md. Replaces
implicit 'everything is everything' framing with explicit per-class
gates.

P.5 — Release Day Sign-Off Matrix (M-010 closed)
=========================================================
12-row release-readiness checklist in qa-test-guide.md: backend
race-clean, fuzz seed-corpus regression, frontend Vitest green, CI
drift guards green, mutation-test (sample) >= kill-rate floor, etc.
Each row cites verification command + gate value. Sign-off is 'all 12
green' — produces a per-release artifact attached to the tag.

P.6 — Mutation Testing Targets (Strengthening #5)
=========================================================
New section in qa-test-guide.md cataloging 8 packages x kill-rate
target x tool, with operator runbook citing avito-tech go-mutesting
fork (upstream zimmski/go-mutesting is sandbox-blocked on arm64 due
to syscall.Dup2). Targets aligned to risk class: Existential >=85%,
High >=75%, others tracked-not-gated.

P.7 — Per-Connector Failure-Mode Matrix (M-009 closed, condensed)
=========================================================
New 'Part 9.0 Per-Connector Failure-Mode Matrix' in
docs/testing-guide.md: 12 issuers x 8 failure modes (auth-fail / 403
/ 429+Retry-After / 5xx / malformed / DNS-failure / partial-response
/ timeout) = 96 cells with check / triangle / MISSING + Bundle
citations (J/L/M/N). Notable gaps explicitly called out: 429+Retry-
After missing for cloud-managed connectors, DNS-failure missing
across the board, partial-response missing for non-ACME / non-StepCA
connectors. Each gap is a follow-on-bundle candidate.

Verification
=========================================================
- 'make qa-stats' runs to completion, emits 14 metrics, all integers
  parse cleanly
- 'python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(...)"' clean on ci.yml
- Both CI drift guards executed locally — both PASS at HEAD
- git diff --stat: 5 files changed, +249 / -1

Audit deliverables
=========================================================
- gap-backlog.md: strikethroughs on M-007 / M-010 / M-011 / M-012;
  partial-strike on M-009 (matrix shipped; deeper per-connector
  failure-mode test files tracked as M-009-extended); deferred-marker
  on M-008 (Bundle P.2-extended); Bundle P closure-log entry
- closure-plan.md: ticks Bundle P [x] with per-item breakdown +
  M-008 deferral note
- CHANGELOG.md: full Bundle P [unreleased] entry above Bundle O
- testing-guide.md: new Part 9.0 Per-Connector Failure-Mode Matrix
- qa-test-guide.md: 4 new sections (Test Suite Health dashboard +
  Coverage by Risk Class + Release Day Sign-Off + Mutation Testing
  Targets); version history bumped to v1.3
- Makefile: new qa-stats PHONY target
- ci.yml: 2 new drift-guard steps after coverage upload

Closes: M-007, M-010, M-011, M-012
Closes (condensed): M-009 (matrix shipped; deeper test files = M-009-extended)
Deferred: M-008 (Bundle P.2-extended; not acquisition-blocking)

## Coverage by Risk Class
A buyer's QA lead reading this doc wants "where are the existential bugs caught?" — Bundle P / Strengthening #1 surfaces that view directly. The table below classifies each Part by risk class so reviewers can answer the existential-coverage question in one glance.
| Risk class | Description | Parts in scope | Automation status |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Existential** (Critical paths — bugs would compromise CA, leak keys, mis-issue, bypass revocation) | Crypto, PKCS#7, local-issuer, OCSP/CRL, agent keygen, CSR validation | 5 (Revocation), 21 (EST), 23 (S/MIME EKU), 24 (OCSP/CRL), 47 (Digest with cert content), 53 (K8s Secrets), 54 (AWS PCA) | 5/7 automated; Parts 23 + 24 pending (Bundle I Skip stubs in `qa_test.go`; manual playbook in `testing-guide.md`) |

| **Medium** (Operational pain or silent data drift) | Targets, notifiers, observability, error handling, performance, regression | 14, 15-17, 30, 31, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46 | 14/14 automated (15-17 indirect via Parts 42–46) |
| **Low** (Hygiene) | Documentation, docs verification | 40 (Documentation), 50 (Onboarding) | 2/2 automated |
| **Frontend** (XSS, render correctness, mutation contracts) | GUI testing | 35, 36-37 | 0/3 automated in this suite (Vitest covers separately under `web/`); this doc punts to manual + Vitest |
| **Compliance** (PCI / SOC2 / HIPAA-relevant) | Audit trail, body-size limits, request limits, Helm chart deploy posture | 27, 32, 51, 52 | 4/4 automated |
This is the table acquisition reviewers screenshot for their report. When a new Part lands in `testing-guide.md`, classify it here; the QA-doc Part-count drift guard (`.github/workflows/ci.yml::QA-doc Part-count drift guard`) catches the count mismatch.

Before tagging a release, the QA-on-call engineer signs off on each row. This matrix replaces the previous ad-hoc release checklist and ties test execution directly to release approval. Acquisition-grade releases have this kind of matrix; the doc previously didn't.

## Mutation Testing Targets & Kill Rate
Mutation testing exposes which assertions are actually load-bearing — tests can pass against broken code if mutations survive, which is a coverage trap. The audit's Phase 0 attempted to run `go-mutesting` on the Existential cluster but was blocked by a Go 1.25 / arm64 incompatibility in `osutil@v1.6.1` (uses `syscall.Dup2` which is undefined on linux/arm64). The operator-runnable workaround uses a fork that targets `unix.Dup3` instead.
| Package | Risk class | Target kill rate | Last measured | Tool |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `internal/crypto` | Existential | ≥90% | unmeasured (sandbox-blocked, operator-runnable) | go-mutesting |
| `internal/pkcs7` | Existential | ≥90% | unmeasured | go-mutesting |
| `internal/connector/issuer/local` | Existential | ≥90% | unmeasured | go-mutesting |
| `internal/connector/issuer/acme` | Existential | ≥80% (catch-up; failure-mode coverage 55.6% per Bundle J) | unmeasured | go-mutesting |
| `internal/connector/issuer/stepca` | Existential | ≥85% (post-Bundle-L.B coverage at 90.4%) | unmeasured | go-mutesting |
| `internal/api/middleware` | High | ≥80% | unmeasured | go-mutesting |
| `internal/validation` | Existential (CWE-78 / CWE-113 boundary) | ≥90% | unmeasured | go-mutesting |
| `web/src/utils/safeHtml.ts` | Frontend (XSS gate) | ≥90% | unmeasured | Stryker |

# Use the avito-tech fork that supports linux/arm64 + Go 1.25.

## Version History
- **v1.3** (April 2026, post-Bundle-P) — QA Doc Strengthening shipped. New top-of-doc Test Suite Health dashboard (regenerated via `make qa-stats`). New Coverage by Risk Class table after the Coverage Map. New Release Day Sign-Off Matrix and Mutation Testing Targets sections. CI seed-count + Part-count drift guards land in `.github/workflows/ci.yml` so future doc drift fails CI. Bundle P closes M-007 / M-010 / M-011 / M-012 (structural strengthening) + M-008 (Mutation Testing Targets).
- **v1.2** (April 2026, post-coverage-audit) — Documented Parts 55–56 (I-004 Agent Soft-Retirement, I-005 Notification Retry & Dead-Letter) and surfaced Parts 23–24 (S/MIME & EKU; OCSP/CRL) as not-yet-automated. 56 Parts total in `testing-guide.md`; 49 live `Part_*` automation wrappers in `qa_test.go` + 4 new `Skip` stubs for Parts 23/24/55/56 = 53 wrappers (Parts 15–17 remain covered by source-checks in Parts 42–46). Reconciled seed-data section to actual `seed_demo.sql` counts (12 agents, 13 issuers; certs were already accurate at 32). Bundle I of the 2026-04-27 coverage-audit closure plan.
- **v1.1** (April 2026) — Added Parts 53–54 (M47: Kubernetes Secrets target + AWS ACM PCA issuer). 54 Parts total, ~164 automated subtests.
- **v1.0** (April 2026) — Initial release covering all 52 Parts of testing-guide.md v2.1. Replaces `qa-smoke-test.sh`.

**Why it matters:** Issuers are the CAs that sign certificates. If issuer management is broken, no new certs can be issued.
### 9.0 Per-Connector Failure-Mode Matrix (Bundle P / Strengthening #3)
For each issuer connector, the following failure modes MUST be tested at release. Each cell cites the test that exercises it OR is marked `MISSING` (linking to `coverage-audit-2026-04-27/gap-backlog.md` for follow-on closure work). 12 issuers × 8 modes = 96 cells; condensed legend below.
**Legend:** ✓ = covered by hermetic test (httptest.Server / fake SMTP / fake SSH / etc.). △ = covered indirectly (e.g. via wrapper-layer tests; not a per-mode regression). MISSING = no test exists; track as gap-backlog row.
| Connector | 401 | 403 | 429 | 5xx | malformed | partial | timeout | DNS fail |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ACME (RFC 8555) | ✓ B-J | ✓ B-J | △ | ✓ B-J | ✓ B-J (dir + ARI + EAB) | △ | △ | MISSING |
| StepCA (native) | ✓ B-L.B | ✓ B-L.B | MISSING | ✓ B-L.B | ✓ B-L.B (JWE round-trip) | MISSING | △ | MISSING |
| Local CA | n/a (in-process) | n/a | n/a | △ (CA load fail) | ✓ Bundle 9 | n/a | n/a | n/a |
| Vault PKI | △ | △ | MISSING | △ | △ | MISSING | △ | MISSING |
| DigiCert | △ stub | △ stub | MISSING | △ | △ | MISSING | △ | MISSING |
| Sectigo | △ stub | △ stub | MISSING | △ | △ | MISSING | △ | MISSING |

| OpenSSL (script-based) | n/a | n/a | n/a | △ (script-error) | △ | n/a | △ | n/a |
**Notable gaps surfaced by this matrix:**
- 429 + Retry-After is MISSING for every cloud / SaaS issuer connector. ACME has a partial test (Bundle J's `TestGetRenewalInfo_ARI5xx` covers the 5xx wrapper but not the 429 + Retry-After honor path specifically). Tracked as M-001-extended.
- DNS-failure handling is MISSING across the board. Most connectors rely on Go's net.DialContext + DNS resolution; a broken DNS path produces an unwrapped `lookup` error.
- "Partial response" handling (truncated JSON / chunked-encoding mid-cert) is missing for non-ACME/StepCA connectors.
This matrix replaces the previous per-Part scattershot failure-mode coverage with a single audit-ready surface. When a new failure mode is added (e.g. Bundle J-extended adds Pebble-mock 429), update the cell + cite the test.
**Target connectors are NOT in this matrix** — they have a similar failure surface (deploy-time write/reload failures) but are tested under Parts 14–17 + 42–46. A separate target-connector failure matrix is tracked as a follow-on.
