Bundle C: Renewal/reliability cluster — 7 findings closed

Closes M-006 + M-007 + M-008 + M-015 + M-016 + M-019 + M-020 from
comprehensive-audit-2026-04-25. M-028 was already closed by the
Bundle B CI follow-up.

M-006 (CWE-913) — Idempotent migration 000014
  migrations/000014_policy_violation_severity_check.up.sql:
    Prepended ALTER TABLE ... DROP CONSTRAINT IF EXISTS before the
    ADD. Mirrors the down migration's existing IF EXISTS shape and
    the M-7 idempotent-index idiom. Re-runs against partially-applied
    DBs now succeed.

M-007 — Bulk-op partial-failure tests (3 new)
  internal/api/handler/bulk_partial_failure_test.go:
    TestBulkRevoke_PartialFailure_ReportsBoth
    TestBulkRenew_PartialFailure_ReportsBoth
    TestBulkReassign_PartialFailure_ReportsBoth
  Each asserts HTTP 200 + both success/failure counters round-trip
  + per-cert errors[] preserved with non-empty messages so operators
  can correlate each failure to its certificate ID.

M-008 — Admin-gated handler enumeration pin (verified-already-clean)
  Recon: only one admin-gated handler — bulk_revocation.go — with
  full 3-branch test triplet already in place. health.go calls
  IsAdmin informationally to surface the flag to the GUI without
  gating.
  internal/api/handler/m008_admin_gate_test.go:
    Walks every handler .go file, asserts every middleware.IsAdmin
    call site is in AdminGatedHandlers (with required test triplet)
    or InformationalIsAdminCallers (justified). Adding a new admin
    gate without updating both the constant AND adding the test
    triplet fails CI.

M-015 — Single-profile cardinality pin (verified-already-clean)
  Audit claim 'no cardinality validation' was wrong — enforced at
  struct level. domain.ManagedCertificate.{CertificateProfileID,
  RenewalPolicyID,IssuerID,OwnerID} and RenewalPolicy.
  CertificateProfileID are bare strings, not slices.
  internal/domain/m015_cardinality_test.go:
    reflect-based pin on kind=String. Schema change to N:N would
    have to update renewal.go's lookup loop in the same commit.

M-016 (CWE-754) — Reap stale-agent jobs
  internal/repository/postgres/job.go::ListJobsWithOfflineAgents:
    JOIN jobs to agents on agent_id, filter (status=Running AND
    a.last_heartbeat_at < cutoff), exclude server-keygen jobs.
  internal/service/job.go::ReapJobsWithOfflineAgents:
    Flips matched jobs to Failed reason agent_offline so I-001
    retry loop re-queues them on a healthy agent. Records audit
    event per reap.
  internal/scheduler/scheduler.go:
    Scheduler.runJobTimeout cycle now calls both reaper arms.
    agentOfflineJobTTL default 5min (5x agent-health-check default);
    SetAgentOfflineJobTTL knob for operator override.
  internal/service/job_offline_agent_reaper_test.go: 6 unit tests
  cover happy path, server-keygen-skip, non-Running-skip, non-
  positive-TTL fail-loud, repo-error propagation, audit-event
  recording.

M-019 — Configurable ARI HTTP timeout
  Audit claim 'no fallback timeout' was wrong — ari.go:52 already
  had a 15s timeout. Bundle C makes it configurable.
  internal/connector/issuer/acme/acme.go:
    Config.ARIHTTPTimeoutSeconds field with env path
    CERTCTL_ACME_ARI_HTTP_TIMEOUT_SECONDS.
  internal/connector/issuer/acme/ari.go:
    Both HTTP clients (GetRenewalInfo + getARIEndpoint) now use the
    new ariHTTPTimeout() helper. Zero / negative / nil-config all
    fall back to the historic 15s default.
  ari_timeout_test.go: 4 dispatch arm tests.

M-020 (CWE-770) — OCSP DoS hardening
  Pre-bundle the noAuthHandler chain had no rate limit. An attacker
  could DoS the OCSP responder, which for fail-open relying parties
  is a revocation bypass.
  cmd/server/main.go:
    noAuthHandler refactored from fixed middleware.Chain(...) to a
    conditional slice that appends middleware.NewRateLimiter when
    cfg.RateLimit.Enabled. Per-IP keying applies; OCSP/CRL/EST/SCEP
    are unauth.
  docs/security.md (NEW):
    Operator runbook documenting Must-Staple TLS Feature extension
    RFC 7633 as the architectural fix for fail-open relying parties.
    Profile-flip guidance + nginx/Apache/HAProxy/Envoy stapling
    snippets + explicit scope statement on what the rate limiter
    alone does NOT solve.

 ## [unreleased] — 2026-04-26
 
+### Bundle C (Renewal/Reliability cluster): 7 audit findings closed
+
+> Closes the audit's renewal/reliability cluster — `M-006` (idempotent migration 000014), `M-007` (3 partial-failure tests across bulk-revoke / bulk-renew / bulk-reassign), `M-008` (admin-gated handler enumeration pin, verified-already-clean), `M-015` (cardinality invariant pinned at struct level via reflect, verified-already-clean), `M-016` (new ListJobsWithOfflineAgents repo method + ReapJobsWithOfflineAgents service path + scheduler wiring), `M-019` (configurable ARI HTTP timeout + 4 dispatch tests, audit-claim verified wrong), `M-020` (rate limiter on noAuthHandler chain + Must-Staple operator runbook). M-028 was already closed by the Bundle B CI follow-up.
+
+#### Added
+
+- **`internal/repository/postgres/job.go::ListJobsWithOfflineAgents` (NEW, Audit M-016 / CWE-754)** — JOINs jobs to agents on agent_id and filters `(status='Running' AND a.last_heartbeat_at < agentCutoff)`. Server-keygen jobs (no agent_id) excluded by design.
+- **`internal/service/job.go::ReapJobsWithOfflineAgents` (NEW, Audit M-016)** — Flips matched jobs to Failed with reason `agent_offline`; emits an audit event per reap; rejects non-positive TTL with a fail-loud error.
+- **`Scheduler.agentOfflineJobTTL` + `SetAgentOfflineJobTTL` (NEW, Audit M-016)** — Defaults to 5 minutes (5× the default agent-health-check interval); operators can override. The existing `runJobTimeout` cycle now calls both reaper arms.
+- **`Config.ARIHTTPTimeoutSeconds` + `Connector.ariHTTPTimeout()` (NEW, Audit M-019)** — Configurable per-issuer ARI HTTP timeout. Defaults to 15s when zero (preserves the pre-bundle default). `CERTCTL_ACME_ARI_HTTP_TIMEOUT_SECONDS` env var path.
+- **`router.AuthExemptDispatchPrefixes` extended with rate-limited noAuthHandler chain (Audit M-020 / CWE-770)** — `cmd/server/main.go` noAuthHandler is now constructed via a slice that conditionally appends `middleware.NewRateLimiter` when `cfg.RateLimit.Enabled`. Per-IP keying protects unauth surfaces (OCSP, CRL, EST, SCEP) from DoS-as-revocation-bypass for fail-open relying parties.
+- **`docs/security.md` (NEW, Audit M-020)** — Operator runbook documenting OCSP Must-Staple (RFC 7633) as the architectural fix for fail-open relying parties; profile-flip guidance; server-side OCSP-stapling config snippets for nginx / Apache / HAProxy / Envoy; explicit scope statement.
+
+#### Tests
+
+- **`internal/api/handler/bulk_partial_failure_test.go` (NEW, 3 tests, Audit M-007)** — Mixed-result branch coverage for all 3 bulk handlers: HTTP 200 with both success counters and per-cert errors[] preserved.
+- **`internal/api/handler/m008_admin_gate_test.go` (NEW, 2 tests, Audit M-008)** — Walks every handler `.go` file, asserts every `middleware.IsAdmin` call site is in `AdminGatedHandlers` (with required test triplet) or `InformationalIsAdminCallers` (justified). Pin against future bypass.
+- **`internal/domain/m015_cardinality_test.go` (NEW, 2 tests, Audit M-015)** — reflect-based pin on `ManagedCertificate.{CertificateProfileID,RenewalPolicyID,IssuerID,OwnerID}` and `RenewalPolicy.CertificateProfileID` kind=String. Schema change to N:N would have to update renewal.go's lookup loop in the same commit.
+- **`internal/connector/issuer/acme/ari_timeout_test.go` (NEW, 4 tests, Audit M-019)** — `ariHTTPTimeout()` dispatch contract: default-15s / non-zero-overrides / negative-falls-back-to-default / nil-config-safe-default.
+- **`internal/service/job_offline_agent_reaper_test.go` (NEW, 6 tests, Audit M-016)** — Flips Running to Failed; skips server-keygen (no agent_id); skips non-Running; rejects non-positive TTL; propagates repo error; records audit event.
+
+#### Changed
+
+- **`migrations/000014_policy_violation_severity_check.up.sql` (Audit M-006 / CWE-913)** — Prepended `ALTER TABLE policy_violations DROP CONSTRAINT IF EXISTS policy_violations_severity_check;` before the ADD. Re-runs on partially-applied DBs now succeed.
+- **`internal/connector/issuer/acme/ari.go` (Audit M-019)** — Both HTTP clients (`GetRenewalInfo` and `getARIEndpoint`) now use the configurable `ariHTTPTimeout()` helper instead of the hardcoded 15s.
+- **`cmd/server/main.go` noAuthHandler construction (Audit M-020)** — From fixed `middleware.Chain(...)` to conditional slice with rate-limiter append. Backwards-compatible: when `cfg.RateLimit.Enabled=false` the chain reduces to the prior shape.
+
+#### Audit Deliverables Updated
+
+- `cowork/comprehensive-audit-2026-04-25/audit-report.md` — score 31/55 → 38/55 closed (Critical 0/0; High 7/9; **Medium 13/27 → 20/27**; Low 8/19); M-006/M-007/M-008/M-015/M-016/M-019/M-020 boxes flipped `[x]` with closure notes.
+- `cowork/comprehensive-audit-2026-04-25/findings.yaml` — corresponding status flips with closure notes citing the Bundle C mechanism.

 ### Bundle B (Auth & Transport Surface Tightening): 5 audit findings closed
 
 > Closes the audit's auth + transport hardening cluster: `M-001` (PBKDF2 100k → 600k via new v3 blob format with v2/v1 read fallback), `M-002` (auth-exempt allowlist constants + AST-walking regression tests pin both router-layer and dispatch-layer bypass paths), `M-013` (CORS deny-by-default verified-already-clean + explicit nil/empty/star contract pin), `M-018` (Postgres TLS opt-in via Helm `postgresql.tls.mode` toggle + operator runbook `docs/database-tls.md`), `M-025` (rate-limiter rewritten from global single-bucket to per-key map keyed on UserKey-from-context with IP fallback). **Breaking change:** Bundle B's M-001 makes new ciphertext blobs use v3 format (magic byte `0x03`); reads still accept v1+v2 transparently and the next UPDATE re-seals as v3 — no operator action required, but rolling back to a pre-Bundle-B binary will leave v3 rows un-readable.

+# certctl Security Posture & Operator Guidance
+
+This document collects the operator-facing security guidance that the source
+code's per-finding comment blocks reference. Each section names the audit
+finding it closes, the threat model, and the operator action required (if
+any).
+
+## OCSP responder availability
+
+**Audit reference:** Bundle C / M-020. CWE-770 (uncontrolled resource
+consumption); RFC 6960 (OCSP); RFC 7633 (Must-Staple).
+
+certctl ships an OCSP responder at `/.well-known/pki/ocsp/{issuer_id}/{serial}`
+that signs a fresh response per request. Pre-Bundle-C the unauth handler
+chain had no rate limit, so an attacker could DoS the responder and force
+fail-open relying parties to accept revoked certificates as valid. Bundle C
+adds the same per-key rate limiter to the unauth chain that the authenticated
+chain has used since Bundle B. Per-IP keying applies because OCSP traffic is
+unauthenticated.
+
+The rate limiter alone does not solve the underlying revocation-bypass risk.
+**The architectural fix is for issued certificates to carry the OCSP
+Must-Staple TLS Feature extension** (RFC 7633, OID 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.1.24). When
+present, conforming TLS clients refuse to negotiate a session unless the
+server staples a fresh signed OCSP response in the TLS handshake. This shifts
+revocation enforcement from the client's discretion (which most fail-open by
+default) to a hard requirement that the connection cannot complete without
+proof of non-revocation.
+
+### Operator action
+
+For certificates issued to systems where revocation correctness matters:
+
+1. **Configure the issuer profile to set `must-staple: true`.** Out-of-the-box
+   profiles in `migrations/seed.sql` do not set this; operators add it at
+   profile-creation time via the API or by editing seed data.
+2. **Confirm the relying party honors the extension.** OpenSSL ≥ 1.1.0,
+   Firefox, and Chrome 84+ all enforce Must-Staple. Older clients silently
+   ignore it.
+3. **Confirm the deployment target is configured for OCSP stapling** so the
+   server can actually deliver the stapled response in the handshake.
+   - **nginx:** `ssl_stapling on; ssl_stapling_verify on;`
+   - **Apache:** `SSLUseStapling on`
+   - **HAProxy:** `set ssl ocsp-response /path/to/response.der`
+   - **Envoy:** `ocsp_staple_policy: must_staple`
+
+### What this does NOT cover
+
+- **CRL fallback.** Must-Staple does not affect CRL behavior. Operators with
+  CRL-based relying parties should use the rate-limit + caching defense
+  alone; there is no client-side equivalent to Must-Staple for CRLs.
+- **Self-issued certs in air-gapped networks.** When the relying party
+  cannot reach the OCSP responder at all (the threat model the audit
+  cited), Must-Staple is the only mechanism that closes the bypass. CRL
+  distribution similarly requires the relying party to fetch the CRL,
+  which is also subject to the same network-availability concern.
+
+## Postgres transport encryption
+
+See [docs/database-tls.md](database-tls.md). Bundle B / M-018.
+
+## Encryption at rest
+
+Bundle B / M-001. PBKDF2-SHA256 at 600,000 rounds (OWASP 2024 Password
+Storage Cheat Sheet floor) for the operator-supplied passphrase that
+derives the AES-256-GCM key for sensitive config columns. v3 blob format
+with a per-ciphertext random salt; v1/v2 read fallback for legacy rows.
+See [internal/crypto/encryption.go](../internal/crypto/encryption.go) and
+the accompanying tests for the format spec.
+
+## Authentication surface
+
+Bundle B / M-002. Two layers decide auth-exempt status:
+
+1. **Router layer:** `internal/api/router/router.go::AuthExemptRouterRoutes`
+   — the 4 endpoints registered via direct `r.mux.Handle` without going
+   through the middleware chain (`/health`, `/ready`, `/api/v1/auth/info`,
+   `/api/v1/version`).
+2. **Dispatch layer:** `internal/api/router/router.go::AuthExemptDispatchPrefixes`
+   — URL-prefix routing in `cmd/server/main.go::buildFinalHandler` for
+   `/.well-known/pki/*`, `/.well-known/est/*`, and `/scep[/...]*`.
+
+Both lists have AST-walking regression tests (`auth_exempt_test.go`) that
+fail CI if a new bypass lands without an updating the documented constant.
+
+## Per-user rate limiting
+
+Bundle B / M-025. Authenticated callers are bucketed by API-key name;
+unauthenticated callers (probes, OCSP relying parties, EST/SCEP enrollees)
+are bucketed by source IP. `RPS` and `BurstSize` are per-key budgets.
+`PerUserRPS` / `PerUserBurstSize` give authenticated clients a separate
+budget when set non-zero.
+
+## Reporting a vulnerability
+
+Email `certctl@proton.me`. Coordinated disclosure preferred; we will
+acknowledge within 72h.
