Fixes factual errors, broken links, wrong ports, inaccurate GUI
descriptions, and misleading config formats across all three migration
guides (certbot, acme.sh, cert-manager).
Key fixes:
- Correct server port from 8080/3000 to 8443 across all guides
- Fix HTTPS→HTTP for Docker Compose (not TLS-terminated)
- Fix heartbeat interval: 60 seconds, not 5 minutes
- Fix "50 servers" → "10 servers" (50 certs across 10 servers)
- Replace JSON config blocks with env var format (actual config method)
- Fix policy creation flow to match actual GUI (name/type/severity/config)
- Fix issuer wizard description to match actual 2-step flow
- Fix Vault PKI "coming in v2.1" → "planned" (ships post-2.1.0)
- Fix 5 broken links (cert-manager.md, quickstart anchors, architecture anchor)
- Remove claim of auto-generated suggestions in discovery flow

Root cause: certificate_versions.csr_pem is nullable in the schema but
Go code scanned it into a plain string. Used sql.NullString in
ListVersions and GetLatestVersion to handle NULL values correctly.
Also includes: partial update fetch-merge-update pattern to prevent FK
violations, nil directory guard in discovery service, diagnostic slog
logging in handlers, export handler 422 for unparseable PEM, OpenAPI
spec corrections, MCP tool description improvements, and test fixes.
Rewrites the Release Sign-Off section in testing-guide.md to individual
test-level granularity (320 rows) with smoke test results audited and
checked off (121 pass, 5 skip, 194 manual remaining).

Add certificate export in PEM (JSON or file download) and PKCS#12 formats.
Private keys are never included — they stay on agents. Add EKU-aware
issuance threading profile EKUs (serverAuth, clientAuth, codeSigning,
emailProtection, timeStamping) through the full issuance pipeline. Fix
agent CSR SAN splitting for email addresses, adaptive KeyUsage flags for
S/MIME vs TLS, and a pre-existing generateID collision bug in deployment
job creation.

- Test files: Add doc comments to all new test files
Documentation that should exist but doesn't yet:
- Architecture diagrams (C4 model or similar)
- Threat model document
- Testing philosophy guide
- Disaster recovery runbook
- Upgrade guide (migration between versions)
- API versioning strategy document
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Update README, architecture guide, and feature inventory to document all
changes from the security remediation pass (17 tickets):
- README: Add CI pipeline section (race detection, golangci-lint,
govulncheck, per-layer coverage thresholds), CORS deny-by-default
behavior, input validation, SSRF protection, scheduler concurrency
safety. Update test count to 1050+. Add race detection and govulncheck
to development commands.
- Architecture guide: Update testing strategy with scheduler tests, fuzz
tests, and revised CI pipeline description. Add security model sections
for input validation, CORS, and concurrency safety. Update test count.
- Feature inventory: Document CORS deny-by-default behavior.
- SECURITY_REMEDIATION.md: New file documenting all 17 remediated tickets
with CWE classifications, before/after behavior, 3 deferred tickets
with rationale, CI pipeline changes, and breaking CORS change.
Missing docs flagged as future additions:
- Formal threat model document
- Disaster recovery runbook
- Version upgrade guide
- Capacity planning benchmarks

- Added TestSlack_ClientHasTimeout to verify 10-second timeout
- Added TestTeams_ClientHasTimeout to verify 10-second timeout
- Added TestPagerDuty_ClientHasTimeout to verify 10-second timeout
- Added TestOpsGenie_ClientHasTimeout to verify 10-second timeout
- All notifiers already configured with 10 second timeout in New()
- Tests verify timeout is set and matches expected value
M25: After deploying a certificate, the agent probes the live TLS
endpoint and compares SHA-256 fingerprints to verify the correct cert
is being served. Best-effort — failures don't block deployments.
New endpoints: POST /jobs/{id}/verify, GET /jobs/{id}/verification.
Migration 000008 adds verification columns to jobs table.
M26: Traefik target connector (file provider, auto-reload) and Caddy
target connector (dual-mode: admin API hot-reload or file-based).
Both wired into agent dispatch.
Also: restructured README to highlight supported integrations (issuers,
targets, notifiers) earlier, moved API/CLI/MCP sections lower. Updated
all docs (features, connectors, architecture, testing guide, why-certctl)
and fixed integration tests for 18-param RegisterHandlers signature.

Replace verbose bullet-list comparisons with dense single-paragraph
summaries for all 7 competitors. Each paragraph covers what the tool
is, what it lacks vs certctl, and where it leads. 48 lines cut.

README: Remove Contents section (GitHub auto-generates ToC), replace
12-bullet Core capabilities block with link to Feature Inventory,
replace 21-row Database Schema table with one-liner linking to
Architecture Guide. Visitors now hit screenshots ~60 lines sooner.
why-certctl: Remove Feature Summary section (duplicated README and
Feature Inventory content). Competitive comparisons remain as the
focused value of this page.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The detailed prose comparisons in why-certctl.md are sufficient.
Tables were redundant with the per-competitor sections.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
README: Replace old 5-column comparison table with 7-competitor table
(certctl, CertKit, CertWarden, Certimate, CZERTAINLY, KeyTalk, cert-manager)
with Free tier row. Remove CertKit from documentation table link text.
Version badge v2.0.4 → v2.0.5, add Why certctl? and Feature Inventory
to docs table, condense ToC, trim Configuration/API/Roadmap sections
with links to detailed docs.
why-certctl.md: Add detailed comparison sections for Certimate (cloud/CDN
focus, no agent, ACME-only), CZERTAINLY (K8s-required microservices,
pluggable connectors, broader vision), and KeyTalk (proprietary, multi-cert-type,
no public docs). Add 14-row summary comparison table covering all 7 competitors.

Three bugs fixed:
- Docker Compose only mounted migration 000001; migrations 000002-000007
(profiles, agent groups, revocation, discovery, network scans) never ran,
breaking half the demo features. Now mounts all 7 migrations in order.
- Network Scans page crashed with pq.Array scan error because lib/pq
doesn't support []int, only []int64. Changed Ports field accordingly.
- Dashboard pie chart displayed "RenewalInProgress" without spaces.
Added formatStatus() helper for PascalCase → spaced display.
Also adds first-run demo experience improvements:
- 9 discovered certificates (filesystem + network scan mix)
- 3 discovery scans with recent timestamps
- 2 AwaitingApproval renewal jobs for approval workflow demo
- CERTCTL_NETWORK_SCAN_ENABLED=true in Docker Compose
- Network scan targets seeded with last_scan results
- Version badge updated to v2.0.5
- Docs updated (quickstart, advanced demo) to reference seeded data

Adds Part 19.5 (approval workflow), 19.6 (discovery triage),
19.7 (network scan management) to GUI testing section. Renumbers
existing 19.5 Other Pages to 19.8 and Cross-Cutting to 19.9.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three new GUI surfaces closing the backend-to-frontend gap for V2:
- Discovery triage page: summary stats bar, DataTable with claim/dismiss
actions, status/agent filters, collapsible scan history panel
- Network scan target management: CRUD with create modal, enable/disable
toggle, Scan Now button, last scan results display
- Jobs page approval workflow: Approve/Reject buttons for AwaitingApproval
jobs, rejection reason modal, pending approval banner with count,
AwaitingApproval/AwaitingCSR added to status filter dropdown
Also adds 13 new frontend tests, 4 API types, 12 API client functions,
2 sidebar nav items, 2 routes, and discovery status badge styles.
Docs updated: README, architecture, quickstart, demo-advanced, CLAUDE.md,
roadmap. Version bumped to v2.0.4.

EAB credentials (KID + HMAC) were defined in the ACME connector config
but never wired into the acme.Account registration call. This fixes the
dead code and adds automatic EAB credential fetching for ZeroSSL — when
the directory URL is detected as ZeroSSL and no EAB credentials are
provided, certctl calls ZeroSSL's public API to get them automatically.
Changes:
- Wire EABKid/EABHmac into acme.Account.ExternalAccountBinding
- Add isZeroSSL() detection and fetchZeroSSLEAB() auto-fetch
- Add CERTCTL_ACME_EAB_KID/CERTCTL_ACME_EAB_HMAC env vars to main.go
- Add 13 ACME connector tests (config validation, EAB decode, ZeroSSL
auto-EAB with mock servers, URL detection)
- Update docs: README, architecture, connectors, demo-advanced,
testing-guide with EAB/auto-EAB documentation

Standing TXT record at _validation-persist.<domain> eliminates per-renewal
DNS updates. Auto-fallback to dns-01 if CA doesn't offer dns-persist-01.
ScriptDNSSolver extended with PresentPersist method. Configurable via
CERTCTL_ACME_CHALLENGE_TYPE=dns-persist-01 and
CERTCTL_ACME_DNS_PERSIST_ISSUER_DOMAIN env vars.
Also fixes IsExpired edge-case test in discovery_test.go that always failed
due to time.Now() drift between test setup and method invocation.

Implement Enrollment over Secure Transport protocol with 4 endpoints under
/.well-known/est/ — cacerts (CA chain distribution), simpleenroll (initial
enrollment), simplereenroll (certificate renewal), and csrattrs (CSR
attributes). PKCS#7 certs-only wire format with hand-rolled ASN.1, accepts
both PEM and base64-encoded DER CSRs, configurable issuer and profile
binding, full audit trail. 28 new tests (18 handler + 10 service).
Also includes:
- GetCACertPEM added to issuer connector interface (all 4 issuers updated)
- EST integration tests wired into e2e test suite (13 test cases)
- QA testing guide Part 26 (15 manual EST test cases)
- All docs updated: README, features, architecture, concepts, connectors,
quickstart, demo-advanced (endpoint counts, MCP wording, agent IDs,
issuer interface, resource lists, OpenSSL status)

Frontend: fetchJSON now returns empty object on 204 instead of failing
to parse empty body — fixes silent delete failures across all entities.
Added onError callbacks to owner/team delete mutations to surface errors.
Backend: owner and issuer delete handlers return 409 Conflict with
descriptive messages when FK constraints block deletion, instead of
generic 500.
Added 15 v2 dashboard screenshots, updated README screenshot section,
logo asset, page count references (18→full), and QA guide with FK
constraint test coverage.

Consolidated two overlapping docs into one cohesive guide framed around
the 47-day certificate lifespan reduction. Covers setup, dashboard
walkthrough, API exploration, cert creation, discovery, CLI, MCP, demo
data reference, and a 10-step stakeholder presentation flow.
Removed demo-guide.md and updated all cross-references in README,
compliance-pci-dss.md, and testing-guide.md.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
CLI syntax corrected across 5 files (concepts, demo-guide, demo-advanced,

V2 audit found 3 critical number mismatches propagated across 8 files:
- Table count was 19 everywhere but actual migrations create 21 tables
- MCP tool count was 76 but tools.go registers 78 (M21/M22 additions)
- README MCP breakdown claimed 83 tools with math summing to 90
- architecture.md still had stale 860+ test count
- features.md OpenAPI claim said 93 ops but spec has 78
- mcp.md tool-per-domain table had wrong counts in 10 of 16 rows
- Added 3 network_scan_targets to seed_demo.sql for demo completeness
- Added curl examples to Agent Groups section in features.md
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Every major section now explains why the feature matters (not just what it
does) with concrete curl examples. Fixes stale counts: 84→91 endpoints,
18→19 tables, 860→900+ tests, 85→93 OpenAPI operations. Adds network scan
env vars to config reference and M21/M22 rows to feature matrix.

Bulk certificate operations: multi-select checkboxes on certificates list with
bulk action bar for triggering renewal, revocation (with RFC 5280 reason modal
and progress bar), and owner reassignment across selected certificates.
Deployment status timeline: visual 4-step lifecycle pipeline (Requested → Issued
→ Deploying → Active) on certificate detail page, powered by per-cert job queries
with animated status indicators for active steps and failure states.
Inline policy editor: edit/save/cancel interface on certificate detail page for
changing renewal policy and certificate profile assignments via dropdown selectors
with lazy-loaded policy and profile lists.
Target connector configuration wizard: 3-step modal (Select Type → Configure →
Review) with type-specific configuration fields for NGINX, Apache, HAProxy, F5
BIG-IP, and IIS targets including required field validation.
Audit trail export: CSV and JSON download buttons on audit page with applied
filters preserved in export. Added action filter input for narrower searches.
Short-lived credentials dashboard: new page at /short-lived showing ephemeral
certificates (profile TTL < 1 hour) with live TTL countdown, auto-refresh every
10 seconds, profile lookup, and stats bar (active/expired/profiles).
DataTable enhanced with optional selectable/selectedKeys/onSelectionChange props
for checkbox multi-select with select-all toggle and row highlighting.
Frontend tests expanded from 53 to 79: full API client endpoint coverage for
profiles, owners, teams, agent groups, revocation, approval/rejection, policy
violations, and issuer creation.

Backend:
- Embedded OCSP responder: GET /api/v1/ocsp/{issuer_id}/{serial} returns
signed OCSP responses (good/revoked/unknown) using CA key
- DER-encoded X.509 CRL: GET /api/v1/crl/{issuer_id} returns proper DER CRL
signed by issuing CA with 24h validity window
- Short-lived cert exemption: certs with profile TTL < 1 hour skip CRL/OCSP
(expiry is sufficient revocation for ephemeral workloads)
- Extended issuer connector interface with GenerateCRL and SignOCSPResponse
- Local CA implements full CRL/OCSP signing; ACME and step-ca return
appropriate "use native endpoint" errors
- IssuerConnectorAdapter bridges new methods between layers
Frontend:
- Revoke button on certificate detail page with RFC 5280 reason modal
- Revocation banner with reason display and timestamp
- Revocation status indicators in lifecycle section
- "Revoked" filter option in certificates list
- API client: revokeCertificate() function and Certificate type extensions
Tests: ~31 new tests across connector, service, handler, and adapter layers
Docs: milestones renumbered (M13-M14, M16-M18), M15b marked complete
