Phase 3 of the deploy-hardening I master bundle. Extends the
target.Connector interface with the dry-run method that operators
will use to preview a deploy before committing — but ships only the
default-stub for all 13 connectors. Phases 4-9 replace each stub
with the real validate-with-the-target implementation.
interface.go:
- Add ErrValidateOnlyNotSupported sentinel (frozen decision 0.6 —
connectors that cannot dry-run, like K8s, return this rather than
nil so operator triage can errors.Is for "not supported" vs
"validated successfully").
- Add ValidateOnly(ctx, request DeploymentRequest) error to
Connector interface.
13 new validate_only.go files (one per connector at
internal/connector/target/<name>/validate_only.go):
- apache, caddy, envoy, f5, haproxy, iis, javakeystore, k8ssecret,
nginx, postfix, ssh, traefik, wincertstore.
- Each file is identical except for the package declaration: a
one-method default stub returning target.ErrValidateOnlyNotSupported.
- Per-connector files (rather than a single embed-method approach)
let Phases 4-9 replace each connector's stub independently
without churning a shared base.
Tests:
- internal/connector/target/validate_only_test.go pins the sentinel
contract (errors.Is identity, Error() string, %w wrap propagation).
- internal/connector/target/validate_only_smoke_test.go (external
test package) constructs a zero-value &<pkg>.Connector{} for each
of the 13 connectors and asserts ValidateOnly returns
ErrValidateOnlyNotSupported. The test's
connectorsAtPhase3 list is the load-bearing CI guard:
- A 14th connector added without wiring ValidateOnly fails the
`len(connectorsAtPhase3) != 13` invariant.
- A connector whose real ValidateOnly lands (Phase 4 NGINX, Phase
5 Apache, etc.) MUST be removed from this list or the smoke test
fails (real impl no longer returns the sentinel). That removal
IS the bookkeeping that the operator-visible bit + behavior
change are wired together end-to-end.
Compile + go vet + golangci-lint v2.11.4 + go test all 0 issues.
Phase 4 next: NGINX canonical real-impl — replace the stub with
nginx -t -c <temp>; same time replace the existing os.WriteFile
flow in DeployCertificate with deploy.Apply(...).
Fixes 12 production bugs preventing the full issuance→deployment flow
from working with ACME (Pebble/Let's Encrypt) and step-ca issuers:
ACME connector (acme.go):
- Save orderURI before WaitOrder overwrites it (Go crypto/acme bug)
- Add CreateOrderCert fallback via WaitOrder+FetchCert
- Remove defer-reset in ValidateConfig that caused nil pointer panic
- Add Insecure TLS option for self-signed ACME servers (Pebble)
step-ca connector (stepca.go, jwe.go):
- Real JWE provisioner key loading + decryption (was using ephemeral keys)
- Fix JWT audience (/1.0/sign), sha claim (key fingerprint), kid header
- Custom root CA trust via RootCertPath config
- Remove hardcoded 90-day validity default (let step-ca decide)
NGINX target connector (nginx.go):
- Use sh -c for validate/reload commands (shell interpretation)
- Use filepath.Dir instead of fragile string slicing
- Add private key file writing (agent-mode keys were never deployed)
- Make chain_path write conditional
Server/service layer:
- TriggerRenewalWithActor now creates actual Job records (was no-op)
- createDeploymentJobs falls back to DB query when cert.TargetIDs empty
- ProcessPendingJobs skips agent-routed deployment jobs
- Agent cert pickup path parsing: len(parts)<4 → len(parts)<3
- Health/ready/auth-info endpoints bypass auth middleware
- Write timeout 15s→120s for ACME issuance
- Cert fingerprint computed on CSR submission
Integration test environment (deploy/test/):
- 10-phase test script covering Local CA, ACME, step-ca, revocation,
discovery, renewal, and API spot checks
- Docker Compose with 7 containers (server, agent, postgres, nginx,
pebble, challtestsrv, step-ca) on isolated network
- TLS verification checks SAN (not just Subject CN) for modern CA compat

- Updated AgentService interface to accept context.Context parameter in all methods
- Replaced context.Background() calls with proper ctx parameter in agent.go
- Updated AgentGroupService interface to accept context.Context parameter
- Replaced context.Background() calls with proper ctx parameter in agent_group.go
- Updated handler methods to pass r.Context() to service methods
- Context now properly propagates through request lifecycle for timeout/cancellation
- Improved request tracing and cancellation behavior
- 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
Upgrade from Go 1.22 to 1.25 (minimum for MCP SDK, actively supported).
CI updated to match.
Codebase audit fixes:
- Local CA parseIP() now uses net.ParseIP — IP SANs no longer silently dropped
- Nil pointer guards in agent.go GetWorkWithTargets for target/cert enrichment
- MCP CreateCertificateInput marks owner_id/team_id as required
- NGINX connector uses CombinedOutput() — captures diagnostic output on failure
- Jobs handler validates JSON decode on rejection body — returns 400 on malformed
- CRL/OCSP handlers propagate requestID for error tracing
MCP server tests (26 tests):
- client_test.go: HTTP client coverage (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE, auth, 204, errors, binary)
- tools_test.go: tool registration, pagination, end-to-end flows with mock API

Fixes Go Report Card gofmt score from 52% to 100%.
Pure formatting changes — no logic modifications.

Backend hardening:
- Fix 6 nginx.go non-constant format string build errors
- Add validation.go with hostname, PEM, and enum validators
- Apply input validation to all POST/PUT handlers (certificates,
agents, CSR, policies, teams, owners, targets, issuers)
- Fix unchecked JSON decode in TriggerDeployment handler
Frontend (Vite + React + TypeScript):
- Migrate from single-file SPA to proper build pipeline
- 7 pages: Dashboard, Certificates (list+detail), Agents, Jobs,
Notifications, Policies, Audit Trail
- TanStack Query for server state with auto-refetch intervals
- Certificate detail with version history and renewal trigger
- Job cancellation, status/type filtering, expiry countdowns
- Reusable components: DataTable, StatusBadge, ErrorState, PageHeader
- Dark theme with Tailwind CSS, sidebar nav via React Router
Server integration:
- Go server serves web/dist/ (Vite output) with SPA fallback
- Falls back to web/index.html for legacy mode
- .gitignore updated for web/node_modules/ and web/dist/
