docs(runbook): DEPL-005 — rewrite postgres-backup automation paths to reference the shipped CronJob
Sprint 3 unified-master-audit closure. docs/operator/runbooks/postgres-backup.md
sections 110-143 still said 'certctl ships no backup CronJob template
in the Helm chart' and the three sample recipes that followed
included an 'in-cluster Postgres → S3' rollup that the operator
'should roll their own.' But the chart actually DOES ship that
CronJob:
deploy/helm/certctl/templates/backup-cronjob.yaml (Phase 4
DEPL-H2 closure, 2026-05-14) — opt-in via 'backup.enabled: true',
PVC + S3 sinks, pg_dump shape byte-comparable with the manual
command earlier in the runbook.
Operators following the pre-fix runbook would write a duplicate
CronJob from scratch while the working template sat unused under
their nose.
Rewrite of sections 110-143:
- Lead with the shipped CronJob, two install one-liners (PVC + S3).
- Move the recipes-by-topology block down to 'When the bundled
CronJob is NOT the answer' — still call out managed Postgres
(use provider PITR) and bare-VM Postgres (systemd + pg_dump +
restic) as deliberately out-of-scope.
- Add 'Recovery objectives' subsection: RPO ≈ 24h at the default
nightly schedule, RTO ≈ 30-60min from the existing drill steps
further down the page. Tells the reader where the bundled
CronJob fits in their RPO/RTO budget without overpromising
(anything below 24h RPO needs WAL-shipping, which the CronJob
doesn't do).
- Bump '> Last reviewed:' to today.
Closes DEPL-005.

deploy(helm): close Phase 4 — chart surface + DR + ops runbooks
Phase 4 of the certctl architecture diligence remediation closure.
Seven findings, all in deploy/helm/certctl/.
DEPL-H2 (High) — ship deploy/helm/certctl/templates/backup-cronjob.yaml
Operator opt-in via backup.enabled=true. Default OFF. CronJob runs
pg_dump --format=custom --no-owner --no-acl --dbname=certctl
matching the canonical shape in
docs/operator/runbooks/postgres-backup.md (so manual and
automated dumps are byte-identical). Sink: PVC (default) OR S3
via aws-cli. Documented as in-cluster-Postgres only — managed DB
deployments rely on their provider's PITR.
DEPL-M1 (Med) — Helm pre-install/pre-upgrade migration hook
deploy/helm/certctl/templates/migration-job.yaml — runs
`certctl-server --migrate-only` before the server Deployment
rolls. The --migrate-only flag (new in cmd/server/main.go) is a
hermetic schema-mutation pass: load config, open DB pool, run
RunMigrations + RunSeed, exit 0. No HTTP listener, no scheduler,
no signing setup.
Server's boot-time RunMigrations call is now gated on
CERTCTL_MIGRATIONS_VIA_HOOK — when set true, the server skips
the boot path (the hook owns the work). Default still runs at
boot, so Compose / VM / bare-metal deploys are unchanged.
migrations.viaHook: false in values.yaml (off by default).
DEPL-M4 (Med) — explicit Postgres StatefulSet strategy fields
deploy/helm/certctl/templates/postgres-statefulset.yaml adds:
spec.updateStrategy.type: OnDelete
spec.podManagementPolicy: OrderedReady
Operator-controlled Postgres upgrades (the OnDelete strategy
means a chart template tweak no longer triggers an immediate
Postgres restart). OrderedReady aligns with the standard
Postgres-on-Kubernetes pattern for any future HA work.
DEPL-M5 (Med) — per-fleet-size resource ladder documentation
deploy/helm/certctl/values.yaml — extended comments next to
server.resources + agent.resources documenting:
"≤ 500 certs / 100 agents" → defaults are validated
"5K certs / 1K agents" → starter suggestions, TBD Phase 8
"50K certs / 10K agents" → starter suggestions, TBD Phase 8
Numbers for the small-fleet case derive from the measured
baselines in docs/operator/performance-baselines.md
(50ms p50, < 3s for 1000-cert inventory walk, etc.). Larger
fleet numbers explicitly marked TBD pending Phase 8 load-test
runs — operators tune empirically until then.
DEPL-L1 (Low) — Helm rollback runbook
docs/operator/runbooks/rollback.md — covers helm rollback
mechanics, the schema-migration manual-cleanup path (when
*.down.sql files apply vs. when full restore is the only safe
path), and the per-migration-class safe-to-rollback table.
DEPL-L2 (Low) — Prometheus AlertManager rules
deploy/helm/certctl/templates/prometheusrules.yaml — opt-in via
monitoring.prometheusRules.enabled=true. Default OFF. Four
starter rules using verified metric names from
internal/api/handler/metrics.go:
CertctlCertificateExpiringSoon (certctl_certificate_expiring_soon)
CertctlAgentOffline ((agent_total - agent_online) > 0 for 1h)
CertctlJobFailureRateHigh (failure rate over 5% for 15m)
CertctlIssuanceFailures (any failures over 15m window)
All thresholds operator-tunable via
monitoring.prometheusRules.thresholds.* in values.
DEPL-L3 (Low) — Prometheus bearer-token setup runbook
docs/operator/runbooks/prometheus-bearer-token.md — documents
the API-key + Secret + values wiring for the RBAC-gated
/api/v1/metrics/prometheus scrape endpoint. End-to-end
procedure with troubleshooting steps + rotation guide.
CI guard: scripts/ci-guards/helm-templates-lint.sh
Six-combo matrix: defaults / backup PVC / backup S3 /
prometheusRules / migrations.viaHook / all-on. Each runs helm
template + checks render success. helm lint also gated.
Wired into the auto-pickup loop in .github/workflows/ci.yml;
azure/setup-helm@b9e51907 (v4.3.0, SHA-pinned per Phase 1
RED-2) installs helm v3.16.0 on the runner.
Verification (all pass):
ls deploy/helm/certctl/templates/{backup-cronjob,migration-job,prometheusrules}.yaml
grep -E 'updateStrategy|podManagementPolicy' deploy/helm/certctl/templates/postgres-statefulset.yaml # 2 matches
helm template deploy/helm/certctl/ --set backup.enabled=true \
--set monitoring.prometheusRules.enabled=true --set migrations.viaHook=true \
| grep -E "kind: (CronJob|PrometheusRule|Job)" # 3 matches
helm lint deploy/helm/certctl/ # 0 failed
ls docs/operator/runbooks/{rollback,prometheus-bearer-token}.md
bash scripts/ci-guards/helm-templates-lint.sh # 6/6 matrix combinations pass
Go build clean (cmd/server compiles, migrate-only path verified by
the build target). YAML validated.

config: default hardening + operator docs (Phase 2 closure — SEC-H1, SEC-H3, SEC-M4, DEPL-H1, DEPL-M2 + doc-only carve-outs)
Eleven findings from the architecture diligence audit's Phase 2 bundle
closed in one PR. All touch the same backend config + Helm chart +
operator docs surface, so reviewing in one diff is the natural fit.
config.go: three new fail-closed Validate() branches behind sentinels
=====================================================================
Three new error sentinels exported from internal/config/config.go for
tests to pin via errors.Is + message-text:
- ErrAgentBootstrapTokenRequired (SEC-H1)
- ErrACMEInsecureWithoutAck (SEC-M4)
- ErrDemoModeAckExpired (SEC-H3)
SEC-H1 (staged): introduces CERTCTL_AGENT_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN_DENY_EMPTY
as an opt-in feature flag. When true AND the bootstrap token is empty,
Validate() returns ErrAgentBootstrapTokenRequired and the server
refuses to start. Default in THIS release: false (warn-mode
pass-through preserved). WORKSPACE-ROADMAP.md schedules the default
flip to true for v2.2.0 — operators get one upgrade window.
SEC-M4: upgrades the existing boot-time WARN log for
CERTCTL_ACME_INSECURE=true into a hard refuse-to-start gate behind
CERTCTL_ACME_INSECURE_ACK=true. The ACK env var must be paired with
the existing INSECURE flag; either alone fails closed. The boot-time
WARN log at cmd/server/main.go:611 continues to fire for the ACK'd
case so every restart logs the reminder.
SEC-H3: tightens the sticky DemoModeAck bit so it expires after 24h.
When DemoModeAck=true, Validate() now requires CERTCTL_DEMO_MODE_ACK_TS
to be set as a unix-epoch timestamp within the last 24h (24h-tolerance
on the past side, 1-minute clock-skew on the future side). Catches the
"forgotten demo deployment promoted to production" failure mode —
next container restart past 24h refuses unless re-ack'd.
Tests in internal/config/config_test.go cover every new branch:
positive (passes when properly set), negative (each fail-closed path
fires with the matching sentinel + message-text). 11 new tests added.
Helm chart + HA runbook (DEPL-H1)
=================================
Created docs/operator/runbooks/ha.md documenting the three values
flips required for production HA: server.replicas, podDisruptionBudget,
service.sessionAffinity. Cross-link comments added to
deploy/helm/certctl/values.yaml next to the server.replicas (line 19)
and podDisruptionBudget (line 566) defaults. DEFAULTS DO NOT CHANGE
— that's the point per the prompt's 'do not flip networkPolicy default'
guidance: a default-enabled PDB blocks fresh helm install on
single-node clusters.
CI guard (DEPL-M2)
==================
scripts/ci-guards/no-change-me-in-prod-compose.sh grep-fails any
'change-me-' literal in compose files OTHER than docker-compose.demo.yml.
Catches the placeholder-credential-leak regression one layer earlier
than the runtime Validate() fail-closed guards from Bundle 2 (2026-05-12).
Excludes comment lines so docs explaining the pattern don't trip the
guard. Verified to fire on a synthetic leak; clean on the current tree.
Consolidated 'Security carve-outs' doc section
==============================================
docs/operator/security.md grows by one new section documenting the
seven existing carve-outs in one canonical place:
- SEC-M3: 3 InsecureSkipVerify=true sites (Agent dev, verify probe, tlsprobe)
- SEC-M5: F5 connector InsecureSkipVerify per-config field
- SEC-M4: ACME insecure + new ACK gate
- SEC-L1: CSP 'unsafe-inline' on style-src (Tailwind carve-out)
- SEC-L2: break-glass Argon2id rest-defense reminder
- SEC-L3: 1 MB body-size cap + CERTCTL_MAX_BODY_SIZE override
- DEPL-M2: change-me-* placeholder credentials in demo overlay
- DEPL-M3: K8s NetworkPolicy operator-opt-in default
Each entry cites the file:line, the rationale for the carve-out, and
the operator action.
CHANGELOG + ENVIRONMENTS coverage
==================================
CHANGELOG.md grows by one new '### Breaking changes (scheduled for
v2.2.0)' section under Unreleased, documenting SEC-H1 / SEC-M4 / SEC-H3
with explicit upgrade-window guidance for each.
deploy/ENVIRONMENTS.md adds five rows: AGENT_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN +
AGENT_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN_DENY_EMPTY + DEMO_MODE_ACK + DEMO_MODE_ACK_TS +
ACME_INSECURE_ACK. G-3 env-docs-drift CI guard stays clean.
WORKSPACE-ROADMAP.md (cowork-side) schedules the SEC-H1 default-flip
for v2.2.0.
Sandbox limitation
==================
The certctl repo's working tree is 6.1 GB which fills the sandbox
volume; the go1.25.10 toolchain download (go.mod requires it,
sandbox has 1.25.9) keeps failing on disk-full. Local 'go build' /
'go test' were NOT run in this commit's verification path.
make verify MUST be run on the operator's workstation before push
per CLAUDE.md operating rules.
CI guards (no-change-me, G-3 env-docs-drift, doc-rot-detector, +
all existing) verified clean by running each individually.

docs(b12): observability reference + Postgres backup runbook
Closes acquisition-diligence Bundle 12 — Observability, DR,
Operations Receipts, And Performance Proof. Source IDs: D5, D6, D8,
T9, finding 7, OPS-H1, OPS-M1, OPS-M2, LOW-7.
Two new operator-facing references; both non-audit-framed per the
Bundle 5 doc-placement policy.
docs/operator/observability.md — single canonical statement of what
certctl emits, what it doesn't, and what survives a restart:
- Metrics surface: both /api/v1/metrics (JSON) and
/api/v1/metrics/prometheus (text exposition v0.0.4); inventory of
certctl_certificate_* gauges + certctl_issuance_duration_seconds
per-issuer-type histogram + certctl_uptime_seconds.
- Prometheus library vs hand-rolled exposition: explicit scope
statement — hand-rolled fmt.Fprintf is intentional for v2.x given
the shallow metric surface; client_golang migration tracked as
v3 item (closes OPS-M1).
- Tracing: explicit deferral — no OTel SDK setup, OTel packages
are indirect-only in go.mod, no spans, no OTLP exporter; tracked
as v3 item; in the meantime structured logs carry request_id and
certctl_issuance_duration_seconds carries the per-issuer latency
signal (closes OPS-M2).
- Logging: structured JSON via log/slog; CERTCTL_LOG_LEVEL control;
no key material / bearer tokens / session cookies in log lines.
- Rate-limit semantics under restarts + replicas: per-process,
in-memory, reset-on-restart, NOT shared across replicas; full
inventory of the 5 limiter call sites (break-glass login,
SCEP/Intune per-device, EST per-principal CSR, EST HTTP-Basic
source-IP, ACME per-account); multi-replica + sticky-session
implications; database-backed sliding window deferred to v3
(closes D8).
- Performance harness scope: cross-references the explicit
'What it explicitly does NOT measure' list in
deploy/test/loadtest/README.md (closes LOW-7 + finding 7).
docs/operator/runbooks/postgres-backup.md — operator-runnable
backup procedure:
- Inventory of what to back up (DB + operator-managed file
material that lives outside the DB: CA keys, RA keys, OCSP
responder keys, trust bundles).
- Logical backup recipe with docker-compose + Kubernetes variants,
integrity verification step, off-host storage step.
- Physical / PITR recipe pointing at pgbackrest / wal-g
(certctl ships nothing here — standard PostgreSQL DBA work).
- Three sample automation paths (in-cluster Postgres → S3 CronJob,
managed Postgres PITR, self-hosted VM systemd timer + restic).
- Quarterly restore-dry-run procedure.
- Helm CronJob template deliberately not shipped — three
documented reasons (deployment topology / secret-management
integration / off-host storage all vary by operator) plus
roadmap entry for shipping a starter template when a real
operator asks for one (closes D6 + OPS-H1).
Both new docs wired into docs/README.md Operator + Runbooks tables.
D5 (ServiceMonitor) and T9 (canonical k6 load-test) were already
shipped in Bundle 3 (deploy/helm/certctl/templates/servicemonitor.yaml)
and in deploy/test/loadtest/ + .github/workflows/loadtest.yml
respectively; this bundle doesn't touch them — it just records the
closure in the audit HTML.
Verified:
bash scripts/ci-guards/G-3-env-docs-drift.sh # PASS
bash scripts/ci-guards/doc-rot-detector.sh # PASS
All 35 scripts/ci-guards/*.sh green.

docs(b6): secret-custody reference + config-encryption upgrade runbook + private-key CI guard
Closes acquisition-diligence Bundle 6 findings on secret custody, config
encryption, and local artifact hygiene. Source IDs: S6, R4, SEC-M2,
RT-M1, RT-M2, RT-L1.
Surgical closures (artifact-only audit-framed memos stay out of the
public repo per the Bundle 5 lesson):
R4 / RT-L1 — local EC private key artifact
rm cmd/agent/mc-001.key (gitignored, never in git history, leftover
from a 2025-era agent dev run on the operator's workstation).
Added scripts/ci-guards/B6-no-private-keys-in-tree.sh that fails the
build if any TRACKED non-test file contains a PEM private-key block,
so the next attempt to commit similar material gets caught at CI.
Allowlist: *_test.go (hermetic-test PEMs), examples/*.md (sample
walkthroughs), internal/scep/intune/testdata/ (certificates, not
keys).
RT-M1 — landing-page HSM implication
certctl.io/index.html: 'their hardware' / 'your hardware' colloquial
comparisons rephrased to 'their custody' / 'your servers'. The phrase
'Your keys. Your hardware. Your data. Your terms.' becomes 'Your
keys. Your servers. Your data. Your terms.' to remove any inferred
HSM-backed key-storage claim. The technical disclosure now lives in
docs/operator/secret-custody.md (linked below); the landing page no
longer makes a claim it cannot back.
S6 + SEC-M2 + RT-M2 (composite documentation closure)
Added docs/operator/secret-custody.md — public operator reference
enumerating every secret material on the control plane and on
agents:
- Local CA private key (FileDriver, file-on-disk, heap-resident
with the L-014 carve-out documented in
internal/connector/issuer/local/local.go).
- Agent ECDSA P-256 keys (file on agent host, never transmitted).
- OIDC client secret (AES-256-GCM v3, PBKDF2 600k).
- Session signing key (same encryption regime).
- Break-glass credential (Argon2id, never encrypted).
- API-key bearer tokens (SHA-256 hash only; plaintext shown once).
- CSR private keys mid-issuance (agent memory only).
- Issuer-connector backend secrets (encrypted_config column,
fail-closed for source='database', plaintext-by-design for
source='env' with rationale).
The Env-seeded-vs-DB-seeded plaintext policy is explained in plain
text so a buyer review can independently verify the startup guard at
cmd/server/main.go:222-262 makes sense.
Added docs/operator/runbooks/config-encryption-upgrade.md — the
procedural arm: how to force v1/v2 -> v3 re-seal across the
database, plus the passphrase-rotation order. Documents the
AEAD-driven read fallback (v3 -> v2 -> v1) and the fact that
re-sealing happens passively on UPDATE. Open roadmap item: a
certctl admin reseal --all command (tracked in
WORKSPACE-ROADMAP.md).
Both docs wired into docs/README.md Operator + Runbooks tables.
Verification:
rg -n 'CONFIG_ENCRYPTION|encrypt|v1|private key|HSM|PKCS11|mc-001.key|\.key|Local CA' \
internal cmd docs .gitignore README.md # ambient (no NEW leaks)
find . -name '*.key' \
-not -path './.git/*' -not -path './web/node_modules/*' # empty

bash scripts/ci-guards/B6-no-private-keys-in-tree.sh # PASS
bash scripts/ci-guards/G-3-env-docs-drift.sh # PASS
bash scripts/ci-guards/doc-rot-detector.sh # PASS
Residual roadmap (deliberately deferred):
- signer.PKCS11Driver (HSM-token-backed CA-key custody).
- signer.CloudKMSDriver (AWS/GCP/Azure KMS-backed CA-key custody).
- FIPS 140-3 mode for the whole control plane.
- HSM-backed session signing key.
- Built-in 'certctl admin reseal --all' command.
All five tracked in WORKSPACE-ROADMAP.md, not retracted.

docs: v2.1.0 release polish — strip internal bundle/phase tags, update status for OIDC ship
README:
- Rewrite Status block: drop the stale 'federated identity not yet
shipped' line; flag v2.1.0 OIDC + sessions + back-channel logout
+ break-glass as early-access; encourage GitHub issues for IdP
rough edges. (A1 framing — keep early-access umbrella, no
SAML/WebAuthn/JIT roadmap teaser.)
- Add OIDC SSO bullet to 'What it does' covering per-IdP runbooks,
group-claim → role mapping, AES-256-GCM client_secret encryption,
JWKS auto-refresh, PKCE-S256, RFC 9700 §4.7.1 pre-login binding,
RFC 9207 iss check, __Host- cookies, CSRF rotation, idle+absolute
expiry, BCL, break-glass admin.
- Update Security paragraph: three auth paths (API keys / OIDC /
break-glass), HMAC-signed sessions, CSRF rotation, RFC OIDC BCL.
- Correct CI coverage thresholds against
.github/coverage-thresholds.yml (service 70%, handler 75%,
crypto 88%, auth packages 85-95%); 'static analysis' replaces
the inflated '11 linters' claim (actual count is 4 active).
Docs B3 sweep — strip operator-facing 'Bundle N' / 'Phase N' tags:
- docs/operator/auth-threat-model.md — rewrite intro; rename 5 H2
sections (API-key + RBAC defenses / OIDC + sessions + break-glass
defenses / OIDC + sessions threat catalogue / Closed federated-
identity threats / Future-work threats); clean ~12 H3/prose hits.
- docs/operator/rbac.md — strip Bundle 1 framing from intro,
scope_id deferral note, MCP tools section, day-0 bootstrap, and
'Where to look next'.
- docs/operator/auth-benchmarks.md — drop 'Phase 14' framing from
title intro, hardware floor caption, result table caption,
methodology, and pre-merge audit section.
- docs/operator/security.md — already cleaned earlier this session
(RBAC / day-0 / approval-bypass / OIDC federation / sessions /
OIDC first-admin / break-glass H3s).
- docs/operator/oidc-runbooks/{index,keycloak,authentik,okta,
azure-ad}.md — strip Auth Bundle 2 framing + Phase 10/3/4
references; replace with feature-name prose.
- docs/operator/legacy-clients-tls-1.2.md — drop Bundle F / M-023
audit-reference framing; keep CWE-326.
- docs/operator/database-tls.md — drop Bundle B / M-018 framing
from intro + Helm section.
- docs/operator/runbooks/disaster-recovery.md — drop 'Production
hardening II Phase 10' status callout.
- docs/migration/oidc-enable.md — retitle 'Enable OIDC SSO';
strip Bundle 1/2 framing from prereqs, troubleshooting, related
docs; update __Host- cookie callout from 'audit MED-14' to
v2.1.0-BREAKING.
- docs/migration/api-keys-to-rbac.md — strip Bundle 1 framing from
intro, migration table, IsAdmin section, and cross-references.
- docs/migration/acme-from-cert-manager.md — strip residual
'Phase 5' tags from cert-manager integration test references.
- docs/reference/configuration.md — retitle Auth section.
- docs/reference/profiles.md — strip Bundle 1 Phase 9 framing
from RequiresApproval section + Related list.
- docs/reference/auth-standards-implemented.md — rewrite intro
(API-key + RBAC + OIDC + sessions + back-channel logout +
break-glass); rename 'Bundle 1 (RBAC) standards covered
separately' H2; clean per-row Phase references.
- docs/README.md — rewrite nav-table entries to drop Bundle 1/2
parentheticals; retitle 'Enable OIDC SSO' migration entry.
No code or test changes; pure operator-facing prose polish for
the v2.1.0 tag.

docs: retire compliance subtree + sweep framework name-drops from prose
Per operator decision the framework-mapping docs are gone. They
were aspirational (no audit, no certification, no validated
mapping); keeping them around was misleading.
Files deleted (1,883 lines):
- docs/compliance/index.md
- docs/compliance/soc2.md
- docs/compliance/pci-dss.md
- docs/compliance/nist-sp-800-57.md

'(compliance mapping included)' parenthetical in the
positioning paragraph
- docs/README.md: the '## Compliance' section table; the
'Auditor / compliance team' reading-order-by-role row
Prose name-drops swept across 24 files:
- README.md: 'FedRAMP boundary CAs / financial-services policy
CAs' → '4-level boundary CAs / 3-level policy CAs';

gating'; 'est_compliance_failed' → 'est_device_state_failed'
- reference/protocols/scep-intune.md: 'Optional compliance
check' → 'Optional device-state check'; failure-counter
'compliance_failed' → 'device_state_failed'; 'Conditional
Access compliance gating' → 'Conditional Access
device-state gating'
- reference/intermediate-ca-hierarchy.md: 'FedRAMP boundary-CA
deployments where the regulator requires...' →
'Boundary-CA deployments where you want separation of policy
and issuing authorities'; pattern A retitled '4-level FedRAMP
boundary CA' → '4-level boundary CA'
- reference/architecture.md: broken Related-docs link to
compliance.md removed; the rest of that block had stale
pre-Phase-2 paths (quickstart.md, demo-advanced.md,
connectors.md, openapi.md, testing-guide.md, test-env.md) —
retargeted to current locations
- reference/deployment-model.md: 'SOC 2 evidence-report
generator' → 'Audit-evidence report generator'
- reference/vendor-matrix.md: 'SOC 2 / PCI auditors paste this
into evidence packs' → 'reviewers paste this into
vendor-evaluation packs'
- contributor/qa-test-suite.md: 'compliance exist' coverage
description cut; 'Compliance (PCI / SOC2 / HIPAA-relevant)'
risk-class label → 'Audit-relevant'
What was kept:
- CWE references (legitimate technical pointers)
- Microsoft API/feature names that happen to use 'compliance'
literally ('Microsoft Graph compliance API',
'device-compliance validators' — these are MS product names,
not framework name-drops)
- 'NIST PQC' on the landing page (Post-Quantum Cryptography is
the actual NIST standard family, not a compliance framework)
Verified: zero hyperlinks into docs/compliance/ remain. All 24
ci-guards/*.sh pass locally. qa-doc-seed-count.sh clean.
Net diff: 26 files / -1,883 deletions in compliance/ + -32 net
across the prose sweep.
Companion edits in cowork/ (CLAUDE.md doc-tree summary +
WORKSPACE-CHANGELOG.md retirement note) land separately.

docs: Phase 14 — Last reviewed line sweep across docs/
Per Phase 1 audit at cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-1-audit-2026-05-04/. Adds a `> Last reviewed: 2026-05-05` line right after the H1 heading of every doc that didn't already have one (41 files). This dates the freshness clock for the future Phase 4 per-doc review. The discipline going forward: when a doc's content gets a meaningful edit, bump the date. When the date gets old (e.g., >6 months), the doc earns a freshness-review pass. Mechanical insertion via awk one-liner, applied to every docs/*.md that didn't already match `grep -q 'Last reviewed:'`. Files that already carried the line from earlier Phase 2 work (the navigation index, the new connector docs, the new SCEP server / legacy-clients- TLS-1.2 / release-verification docs, and the 5 per-connector deep dives) were skipped to avoid duplicate insertion. Net: every doc in docs/ now has a Last reviewed line. |

docs: Phase 2 mechanical file moves to subdirectory structure
Pure git mv operations; no content edits. Internal links remain pointing
at old paths and will be fixed in Phase 11. Per the Phase 1 audit
recommendations at cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-1-audit-2026-05-04/.
35 files moved across 8 audience-organized subdirectories:
docs/getting-started/ (5):
quickstart.md, concepts.md, examples.md, advanced-demo.md (was
demo-advanced.md), why-certctl.md
docs/reference/ (6):
architecture.md, api.md (was openapi.md), mcp.md,
intermediate-ca-hierarchy.md, deployment-model.md (was
deployment-atomicity.md), vendor-matrix.md (was
deployment-vendor-matrix.md)
docs/reference/protocols/ (6):
acme-server.md, acme-server-threat-model.md, scep-intune.md,
est.md, crl-ocsp.md, async-ca-polling.md (was async-polling.md)
docs/operator/ (4):
security.md, tls.md, database-tls.md, approval-workflow.md
docs/operator/runbooks/ (3):
cloud-targets.md (was runbook-cloud-targets.md), expiry-alerts.md
(was runbook-expiry-alerts.md), disaster-recovery.md
docs/migration/ (3):
from-certbot.md (was migrate-from-certbot.md), from-acmesh.md
(was migrate-from-acmesh.md), cert-manager-coexistence.md (was
certctl-for-cert-manager-users.md)
docs/compliance/ (4):
index.md (was compliance.md), soc2.md (was compliance-soc2.md),
pci-dss.md (was compliance-pci-dss.md), nist-sp-800-57.md (was
compliance-nist.md)
docs/contributor/ (4):
testing-strategy.md, test-environment.md (was test-env.md),
ci-pipeline.md, qa-test-suite.md (was qa-test-guide.md)
Deferred to later Phase 2 sub-phases:
- connectors.md split (Phase 4): docs/connectors.md +
docs/connector-{apache,f5,iis,k8s,nginx}.md still at top level
- testing-guide.md prune (Phase 5): docs/testing-guide.md still
at top level
- features.md disperse (Phase 6): docs/features.md still at top
level
- legacy-est-scep.md split (Phase 7): docs/legacy-est-scep.md
still at top level
- ACME walkthrough re-homing (Phase 8): three
docs/acme-*-walkthrough.md still at top level
- Upgrade docs archive (Phase 3): two docs/upgrade-*.md still
at top level
Cross-reference updates (Phase 11) will happen after all moves and
content edits land. Internal links to docs/* paths are temporarily
broken until that phase completes.
