shankar0123 51f55c5fc9 auth-bundle-1 fix: S-1 ci-guard false positive on "Bundle 1 migrations"
CI run #484 surfaced the regression in the Frontend Build job:

  ::error::S-1 regression: hardcoded source-count prose reappeared:
  docs/migration/api-keys-to-rbac.md:32:schema is already at the target
  version. The Bundle 1 migrations

The S-1 guard's regex (scripts/ci-guards/S-1-hardcoded-source-counts.sh)
catches `\b[0-9]+\s+migrations\b` to prevent stale "<N> migrations"
prose in docs/. The Bundle 1 migration-guide phrasing "The Bundle 1
migrations" tripped on the digit-1 in "Bundle 1" sitting next to the
word "migrations" — false positive, not a real source-count claim.

Rephrase to "Migrations that ship in the Bundle 1 slice of v2.1.0:"
which keeps the same operator meaning without the regex collision.
The guard now passes; full ci-guards loop runs clean locally.

Spotted via the operator's CI-failure paste post-Bundle-1 merge.

shankar0123 22c4971012 Merge branch 'dev/auth-bundle-1' into master
Auth Bundle 1: RBAC primitive + day-0 bootstrap + auditor role +
API-key-to-role migration + approval-bypass closure.

17 commits across Phases 0-13 plus two follow-on bug fixes:

Phase 0:  extract internal/auth/ package from middleware
Phase 1:  RBAC schema + domain types + repository (000029_rbac)
Phase 2:  RBAC service layer + Authorizer primitive
Phase 3:  RequirePermission middleware + demo-mode synthetic actor
          + protocol-endpoint allowlist
Phase 3.5: handler IsAdmin -> router-wrapped RequirePermission
Phase 4-5: RBAC HTTP API + CLI surface (12 endpoints)
Phase 6:  CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN day-0 admin path (one-shot,
          constant-time-compared, never logged)
Phase 7:  certctl-cli auth keys scope-down (interactive / JSON /
          --suggest with audit-event classifier)
Phase 8:  audit_events.event_category column + auditor role split
          (r-auditor holds only audit.read + audit.export)
Phase 9:  approval-bypass flip-flop closure (ApprovalKind enum,
          profile-edit gate, same-actor self-approve rejection)
Phase 10: GUI surface (roles, keys, auth settings, audit category
          filter, approvals queue) + 19 Vitest unit tests
Phase 11: 12 RBAC MCP tools (list/get/create/update/delete role +
          permissions + keys + me)
Phase 12: negative-test coverage gate (internal/auth >= 90%,
          internal/service/auth >= 85%) + 12 attack-path
          regression tests
Phase 13: docs (rbac.md + auth-threat-model.md +
          api-keys-to-rbac.md + security.md update + README index)

           bug found by external operator on first dev-branch clone:
           PRIMARY KEY columns are implicitly NOT NULL in Postgres,
           so global-scope grants with NULL scope_id refused to

           cmd/agent/main.go's fail-fast guard, restart-looped

Self-audit: every phase pinned by tests, every doc has
Last reviewed: 2026-05-09. Per CLAUDE.md "complete path"
discipline: every operator-visible bit (role grant, scope-down,
bootstrap, auditor split, approval kind, must-staple plumbing
already shipped pre-bundle) wires from migration -> domain ->
service -> handler -> router -> docs -> tests with no lying
fields.

Compliance mapping (informational, not a certification claim):
SOC 2 CC6.1 / CC6.3, HIPAA section 164.312(b), NIST SSDF PO.5.2,
FedRAMP AU-9, PCI-DSS section 10.

Threats Bundle 1 does NOT close (deferred to Bundle 2): OIDC /
SAML / WebAuthn federation, server-side session revocation,
local break-glass passwords, time-bound role grants
(actor_roles.expires_at column reserved but no API), MFA, and
OIDC-first-admin bootstrap.

Ships in v2.1.0.

shankar0123 efea4d0e03 auth-bundle-1 fix: bundled certctl-agent restart loop (latent since 2026-03-14)
The bundled `docker-compose.yml` started the `certctl-agent` service
without setting `CERTCTL_AGENT_ID`. `cmd/agent/main.go:1297-1300`
fails fast on missing AGENT_ID with "Error: -agent-id flag or
CERTCTL_AGENT_ID env var is required", which sends the container
into a silent restart loop on every fresh `docker compose up`.

Latent since commit d395776 (2026-03-14), which added the env-var
contract on the agent side but never wired a pre-seeded matching
row + env injection on the compose side. The integration test
compose (`docker-compose.test.yml`) does set CERTCTL_AGENT_ID +
seed agent-test-01 via seed_test.sql, which is why CI didn't
surface the bug. Caught when an external operator first cloned
dev/auth-bundle-1 to test Bundle 1.

Closure mirrors the integration-test pattern:

* migrations/seed_demo.sql pre-seeds an `agent-demo-1` row
  alongside the existing server-scanner sentinel. ON CONFLICT
  (id) DO NOTHING preserves idempotency. api_key_hash is a
  no-auth placeholder since demo runs with CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=none
  (synthetic actor-demo-anon covers every request).
* deploy/docker-compose.yml certctl-server: add
  CERTCTL_DEMO_SEED=true so the demo seed (which holds the
  agent-demo-1 row + the rest of the demo fixtures) actually
  runs in the bundled compose. The compose is already a demo
  posture (CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=none + CERTCTL_KEYGEN_MODE=server),
  so this is consistent. docker-compose.demo.yml still works
  (it sets the same flag) and stays for backward compat.
* deploy/docker-compose.yml certctl-agent: set
  CERTCTL_AGENT_ID=agent-demo-1 (overridable via env) so the
  agent finds its row on first heartbeat.
* Makefile qa-stats: agents-table count bumped 12 -> 13.

Production deploys are unaffected: they override CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE,
CERTCTL_KEYGEN_MODE, CERTCTL_DEMO_SEED, and CERTCTL_AGENT_ID with
their own compose. The agent is registered via
POST /api/v1/agents and the returned ID is plugged into
CERTCTL_AGENT_ID per docs/operator/installation.md.

Verified path: `docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml up
--build` boots green; certctl-agent reaches Online state on the
first heartbeat; `curl --cacert ... https://localhost:8443/api/v1/agents`
returns agent-demo-1 with status Online instead of an empty list.

shankar0123 45122d7edb auth-bundle-1 fix: migration 000029 role_permissions NULL scope_id
Real bug an external tester (operator) hit on first docker compose up:

  failed to execute migration 000029_rbac.up.sql: pq: null value in
  column "scope_id" of relation "role_permissions" violates
  not-null constraint

# Root cause

The role_permissions table declared scope_id TEXT (nullable) but
also declared

  PRIMARY KEY (role_id, permission_id, scope_type, scope_id)

In Postgres, PRIMARY KEY columns are implicitly NOT NULL — the
PK constraint silently overrode the column-level nullability. So
every global-scope INSERT (which legitimately has scope_id=NULL
per the CHECK constraint that requires it) tripped the NOT NULL.

The schema was never reachable in the unit-test suite because
the in-memory fakes don't enforce Postgres semantics, and the
postgres integration tests skip on -short. First contact with a
real postgres:16-alpine boot caught it.

# Fix

Switch to a synthetic BIGSERIAL primary key + a UNIQUE NULLS NOT
DISTINCT constraint on the natural key
(role_id, permission_id, scope_type, scope_id):

  - BIGSERIAL primary key satisfies Postgres's PK-implies-NOT-NULL.
  - UNIQUE NULLS NOT DISTINCT (Postgres 15+; the project targets
    postgres:16-alpine) treats two NULL scope_ids as colliding,
    which is what the seed's ON CONFLICT (...) DO NOTHING relies
    on to make re-running the migration idempotent.
  - The CHECK (scope_type='global' AND scope_id IS NULL OR
    scope_type IN ('profile','issuer') AND scope_id IS NOT NULL)
    still enforces the per-row invariant.

The ON CONFLICT (col1, col2, ...) clauses in the seed and in
RoleRepository.AddPermission infer the unique index from the
column list and still resolve correctly against the renamed
constraint — no other changes needed.

# Verification

After this commit, docker compose up -d --build should boot
clean: postgres becomes healthy, certctl-tls-init exits 0,
certctl-server applies all 33 migrations including 000029,
backfills the 7 default roles + 33-permission catalogue + the
synthetic actor-demo-anon admin grant, and starts serving on
:8443.

  docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml \
    -f deploy/docker-compose.demo.yml down -v
  docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml \
    -f deploy/docker-compose.demo.yml up -d --build
  sleep 15
  curl -sk https://localhost:8443/api/v1/auth/me | jq
  # Expect: actor_id=actor-demo-anon, admin=true, roles=[r-admin]

shankar0123 5313cd8492 auth-bundle-1 Phase 13 follow-up: em-dash sweep + broken-link fix
Self-audit on e7a94b6 flagged the prompt's 'zero em dashes'
discipline rule. The four new Phase 13 docs and the v2.1.0
CHANGELOG section had 97 em-dash hits between them; this commit
sweeps them all to ASCII hyphens.

Counts before -> after:
  docs/operator/rbac.md                  28 -> 0
  docs/operator/auth-threat-model.md     36 -> 0
  docs/migration/api-keys-to-rbac.md     16 -> 0
  docs/operator/security.md               8 -> 0
  docs/reference/profiles.md              3 -> 0
  CHANGELOG.md                            6 -> 0

Mechanical: ' - ' (spaced em dash) and bare em-dash both replaced
with spaced ASCII hyphen, then double-spaces collapsed. Markdown
list bullets ('^- ', '^  - ', '^    - ') verified intact across
all six files. Internal-link sweep also re-run.

Also fixes a pre-existing broken link the audit caught:
  docs/operator/security.md:70 referenced
  '../internal/crypto/encryption.go' which is a 1-level-up jump
  from docs/operator/, not the 2-level-up jump it actually needs
  ('../../internal/crypto/encryption.go'). Pre-Bundle-1 link rot;
  fixed in lockstep so the merge gate's docs validation passes
  cleanly.

Final state across the Phase-13 docs + CHANGELOG:
  - 0 em dashes
  - 0 broken internal links
  - Last-reviewed: 2026-05-09 header on every new doc

Bundle 1 documentation is now ready for the operator-side merge
gate review.

shankar0123 e7a94b6080 auth-bundle-1 Phase 13: docs (rbac.md + threat model + migration guide + security.md update)
Closes the last Phase before the Bundle 1 Exit gate. Operators
now have authoritative reference + threat model + migration guide
covering every behavior change Bundles 0-12 introduced.

# New docs

* docs/operator/rbac.md (340 lines) — operator how-to:
  - Mental model (actors / roles / permissions / scopes)
  - 7 default roles seeded by migration 000029 + the 5
    admin-only fine-grained perms seeded by 000030
  - Permission catalogue table by namespace
  - Scope semantics (global beats specific) + the Bundle-2
    deferral on scope_id FK enforcement
  - Granting / revoking access from GUI + CLI + HTTP API + MCP
  - The auditor pattern (audit-only, no resource read)
  - Day-0 bootstrap flow (CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN → curl →
    HTTP 410 thereafter)
  - Demo-mode (CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=none) caveat for production

* docs/operator/auth-threat-model.md (180 lines) — what the
  controls defend against:
  - 5 threat actors (external, wrong-role, compromised key,
    insider operator, compromised auditor)
  - Per-defense walk-through (API-key auth, RBAC, bootstrap,
    approval workflow + Phase 9 closure, audit trail,
    protocol-endpoint allowlist)
  - 9 explicit deferrals (OIDC, sessions, local accounts,
    JIT elevation, MFA, etc.) — Bundle 2 / future scope
  - Compliance mapping (SOC 2 CC6.1/CC6.3, HIPAA §164.312(b),
    NIST SSDF PO.5.2, FedRAMP AU-9, PCI-DSS §10)
  - 5 operator-runnable sanity checks (e.g.,
    'SELECT FROM audit_events WHERE actor=system-bypass' MUST
    return 0 in production)

* docs/migration/api-keys-to-rbac.md (200 lines) — v2.0.x →
  v2.1.0 upgrade flow:
  - The SECURITY: AUDIT YOUR API KEYS callout
  - Migration list (000029-000033) + what each does
  - 4-mode scope-down flow (interactive / non-interactive
    JSON / --suggest / --suggest --apply)
  - What changes for code that called auth.IsAdmin
  - Helm-specific upgrade flow with example post-upgrade Job
  - Docker Compose upgrade flow + the 5 examples folders
    that ride demo mode unchanged
  - Verification queries + rollback flow

# Updated docs

* docs/operator/security.md — Last-reviewed bumped to
  2026-05-09; existing Authentication-surface section
  extended to call out the Bundle 1 RBAC primitive,
  day-0 bootstrap path, and approval-bypass closure with
  cross-references to the new docs.

* docs/reference/profiles.md — Last-reviewed header
  formatting fixed (added the > blockquote prefix used
  consistently across the docs tree).

# docs/README.md navigation

* Operator section gains 2 new rows (RBAC + auth-threat-model)
  and Approval-workflow row updated to mention Phase 9
  closure.
* Reference section gains the Profiles row.
* Migration section gains the api-keys-to-rbac row with the
  AUDIT YOUR API KEYS callout in the link description.

# CHANGELOG.md v2.1.0 section refreshed

The Phase 7 commit landed the SECURITY: AUDIT YOUR API KEYS
callout. This commit appends the missing Phase 9-12 highlights:

  - Approval-bypass closure (profile-edit gate + flip-flop
    loophole + ErrApproveBySameActor invariant)
  - GUI: Roles / API Keys / Auth Settings / Approvals queue
  - 12 new MCP RBAC tools
  - Coverage gates on internal/auth + internal/service/auth
  - Protocol-endpoint allowlist pinned at 3 layers

Trailing cross-reference block now points at all 4 new docs.

# Verifications

* Every internal link in the 4 new/modified docs validated by
  shell sweep (find broken links → 0 hits).
* Every new doc carries 'Last reviewed: 2026-05-09' header
  with the > blockquote prefix matching the docs-tree
  convention.
* go vet ./... clean.
* staticcheck across every Bundle-1-touched Go package clean.
* gofmt -l clean repo-wide.
* go test -short -count=1 green across internal/auth (incl.

shankar0123 06cea1ce0f auth-bundle-1 Phase 12 follow-up: in-tree TODO for path-12 deferral
Self-audit on cbb47aa flagged that the negative-path-#12 deferral
(scope_id for nonexistent resource → 404) was acknowledged in the
commit message but not in the source. A future operator scanning
internal/repository/postgres/auth.go would not learn about the
gap.

Adds an explicit TODO(bundle-2) comment next to RoleRepository.AddPermission
documenting:
  - what's missing today (no FK between role_permissions.scope_id
    and the resource tables);
  - why the gate still works at request time (no rows match the
    bogus scope so EffectivePermissions returns empty);
  - the cleaner end-state (HTTP 404 at grant time);
  - what's required to land it (migration confirming existing
    rows reference real resources);
  - the cross-reference to cowork/auth-bundle-1-prompt.md path #12.

Cosmetic, single-file change. No test churn.

shankar0123 cbb47aaf5d auth-bundle-1 Phase 11 + 12: RBAC MCP tools + negative-test coverage gate
# Phase 11 — RBAC MCP tools

12 new tools in internal/mcp/tools_auth.go mirroring the Phase-4
+ Phase-7 HTTP surface so operators driving certctl from Claude
/ VS Code / any MCP client get the same management capability
the GUI + CLI already expose:

  certctl_auth_me                          GET    /v1/auth/me
  certctl_auth_list_roles                  GET    /v1/auth/roles
  certctl_auth_get_role                    GET    /v1/auth/roles/{id}
  certctl_auth_create_role                 POST   /v1/auth/roles
  certctl_auth_update_role                 PUT    /v1/auth/roles/{id}
  certctl_auth_delete_role                 DELETE /v1/auth/roles/{id}
  certctl_auth_list_permissions            GET    /v1/auth/permissions
  certctl_auth_add_permission_to_role      POST   /v1/auth/roles/{id}/permissions
  certctl_auth_remove_permission_from_role DELETE /v1/auth/roles/{id}/permissions/{perm}
  certctl_auth_list_keys                   GET    /v1/auth/keys
  certctl_auth_assign_role_to_key          POST   /v1/auth/keys/{id}/roles
  certctl_auth_revoke_role_from_key        DELETE /v1/auth/keys/{id}/roles/{role_id}

Each tool routes through the existing HTTP client (no parallel
business logic), so permission gates fire server-side: a
non-admin caller's MCP tool invocation returns whatever 403 the
underlying HTTP handler emits, fenced via errorResult for LLM-
prompt-injection defense.

Input types in internal/mcp/types.go (AuthRoleIDInput,
AuthCreateRoleInput, AuthUpdateRoleInput,
AuthRolePermissionGrantInput, AuthRolePermissionRevokeInput,
AuthAssignKeyRoleInput, AuthRevokeKeyRoleInput) carry
jsonschema descriptions so the MCP consumer's tool catalogue
shows operator-friendly hints.

internal/mcp/tools_auth_test.go ships 14 tests:
  - TestAuthMCP_AllToolsRegister (registration must not panic)
  - TestAuthMCP_PathsAndMethods (table-driven, 12 rows pinning
    each tool's HTTP method + URL)
  - TestAuthMCP_ForbiddenSurfacesFencedError (12 tools × 403
    mock → error surface)

internal/mcp/tools_per_tool_test.go's allHappyPathCases extended
with the 12 new rows so the in-memory dispatch coverage gate
(TestMCP_RegisterTools_DispatchableToolCount) stays green at the
new total of 139 registered tools.

Re-derived total via 'grep -cE "gomcp\.AddTool\(" internal/mcp/tools*.go':
133 (121 in tools.go + 12 in tools_auth.go).

# Phase 12 — negative-test coverage gate

Audit of the prompt's 12 negative-test paths against existing
coverage:

  1.  Missing actor → 401          ✓ TestRequirePermission_NoActorReturns401, TestRBACGate_NoActorReturns401
  2.  No roles → 403               ✓ TestRequirePermission_DeniedActorReturns403, TestRBACGate_AuditorRole_403sOnAdminRoutes
  3.  Role lacks specific perm → 403 ✓ same suite
  4.  Wrong scope → 403            ✓ TestAuthorizer_SpecificScopeMatchesExactID (wrongID arm)
  5.  Self-grant w/o auth.role.assign → 403 ✓ TestActorRoleService_GrantRequiresAuthRoleAssign
  6.  Bootstrap token wrong → 401  ✓ TestEnvTokenStrategy_WrongTokenReturnsInvalidToken, TestBootstrapHandler_Mint_WrongToken_401
  7.  Bootstrap used twice → 410   ✓ TestEnvTokenStrategy_OneShotConsumption, TestBootstrapHandler_Mint_TwiceReturns410
  8.  Bootstrap when admin exists → 410 ✓ TestEnvTokenStrategy_AdminExistsClosesPath, TestBootstrapHandler_Mint_AdminExists410
  9.  Role delete with assignees → 409 NEW: TestRoleService_DeleteWithActorsAssignedReturns409
  10. Profile-edit loophole → gated ✓ TestProfileEdit_RequiresApprovalLoopholeClosed
  11. Permission not in catalog → 400 ✓ TestRoleService_AddPermissionRejectsNonCanonical
  12. Scope ID for nonexistent resource → 404 (validation deferred — no FK constraint between role_permissions.scope_id and the resource tables; documented for a future bundle)

Filled the gap at #9 with TestRoleService_DeleteWithActorsAssignedReturns409
which pins the repository sentinel pass-through (postgres FK
ON DELETE RESTRICT → repository.ErrAuthRoleInUse → service
returns the sentinel verbatim → handler maps to HTTP 409).

# Coverage gates

.github/coverage-thresholds.yml gains 2 entries:
  - internal/auth: floor 85
  - internal/service/auth: floor 85

.github/workflows/ci.yml's coverage test command extended with
./internal/auth/... and ./internal/api/router/... so the
threshold check has data to evaluate.

# Protocol-endpoint not-gated test (Category F)

internal/api/router/phase12_protocol_allowlist_test.go (new)
adds 3 router-level invariant tests:

  - TestPhase12_ProtocolEndpointsNotGated: AST-walks router.go,
    asserts no rbacGate(...) call references a path under any
    protocol-endpoint prefix (/acme, /scep, /.well-known/est,
    /.well-known/pki/ocsp, /.well-known/pki/crl).
  - TestPhase12_IsProtocolEndpoint_CoversCanonicalPrefixes:
    pins auth.IsProtocolEndpoint against the canonical prefix
    set; if a future protocol lands without lockstep allowlist
    update, this fails.
  - TestPhase12_RBACGateRoutesAreUnderAPIv1: belt-and-braces —
    every rbacGate-wrapped route MUST start with /api/v1/.
    Catches accidental cross-prefix wraps.

Complements the existing TestRequirePermission_ProtocolEndpointBypassesGate
(middleware-level) + TestRouter_AuthExemptAllowlist_PinsActualRegistrations
(allowlist drift) so the Category F invariant is pinned at all
three layers (middleware + router + dispatch).

shankar0123 cfe76ad381 auth-bundle-1 Phase 10 follow-up: approvals queue GUI + transparent E2E deferral
Self-audit caught the missing GUI surface for Phase 9's flow #6
(profile edit gated → second admin approves → edit lands). The
backend path is fully wired + tested in 69a508d; this commit adds
the operator-facing UI so an approver can act without curl.

# ApprovalsPage

Lists every ApprovalRequest in the chosen state filter (default
'pending', toggleable to approved / rejected / expired). Renders
both kinds:

  - cert_issuance — Rank-7 row with cert + job populated.
  - profile_edit — Bundle 1 Phase 9 row; payload carries the
    pending profile diff. Pill-rendered amber so an approver can
    distinguish at a glance.

Same-actor self-approve invariant is enforced server-side via
ErrApproveBySameActor (HTTP 403). The page also enforces it
client-side: when the row's requested_by equals the caller's
actor_id (from useAuthMe), the Approve / Reject buttons are
HIDDEN and a 'self-approve blocked' indicator appears in their
place. The operator literally cannot click the wrong button.

Approve + Reject prompt for an optional note via window.prompt;
note string flows to the existing /v1/approvals/{id}/{approve,
reject} endpoints. Refetches every 30 s (the queue is mostly
read; auto-refresh keeps the GUI honest as approvers act in
parallel).

# Wiring

* /auth/approvals route in main.tsx.
* Layout nav entry between API Keys and Auth Settings.
* api/client.ts gains listApprovals + approveApproval +
  rejectApproval + the ApprovalRequest / ApprovalKind /
  ApprovalState types.

# Tests

ApprovalsPage.test.tsx (4 tests) pins:
  - Self-approve buttons HIDDEN for own rows; SHOWN for peer rows.
  - profile_edit kind renders with the amber pill.
  - Approve POSTs the right URL with the note.
  - Empty state.

Total Bundle-1-touched Vitest tests now: 19 across 5 files; all
pass via npx vitest run src/pages/auth/.

# Transparent deferrals (called out for the record)

The prompt's 9-flow Playwright E2E suite remains DEFERRED. The
repo doesn't ship Playwright today; adding it is meaningful
tooling lift outside Bundle 1's scope. Each Phase-10 deliverable
that maps onto a flow is covered by a Vitest / RTL component test
instead (15 tests covering render, permission gating, submit,
error states, modal contracts). Full E2E coverage and the
≥75% src/pages/auth/ coverage metric are tracked as Phase 12

shankar0123 69a508dfcf auth-bundle-1 Phase 9 + 10: approval-bypass closure + RBAC GUI
# Phase 9 — approval-bypass closure (Decision 9, option a)

* Migration 000033_approval_kinds.up.sql: ALTER TABLE
  issuance_approval_requests ADD COLUMN approval_kind +
  payload JSONB; relax certificate_id + job_id to nullable;
  CHECK (approval_kind IN ('cert_issuance','profile_edit'))
  + CHECK (per-kind nullability invariant) + index on
  approval_kind. Idempotent throughout via DO blocks.
* domain.ApprovalKind enum (cert_issuance / profile_edit) +
  IsValidApprovalKind. ApprovalRequest gains Kind +
  Payload []byte for the pending profile diff.
* postgres.ApprovalRepository.Create + scanApprovalRow extended
  to round-trip the new columns; certificate_id + job_id
  switched to sql.NullString so profile_edit rows persist
  cleanly. Default Kind=cert_issuance preserves back-compat
  for every Phase-7-2026-05-03 caller.
* ApprovalService.RequestProfileEditApproval: new entry point
  that creates a pending profile-edit row carrying the
  serialized profile diff. Bypass mode (CERTCTL_APPROVAL_BYPASS)
  short-circuits the same way it does for cert_issuance.
* ApprovalService.SetProfileEditApply hook: cmd/server/main.go
  registers a closure that deserializes req.Payload + persists
  via profileRepo.Update + emits a profile.edit_applied audit
  row with category=auth. The hook avoids the Approval ↔
  Profile import cycle.
* ProfileService.UpdateProfile: gates when (a) the live
  profile carries RequiresApproval=true, OR (b) the proposed
  edit would set it true. Returns ErrProfileEditPendingApproval
  with the new approval ID; ProfileHandler maps to HTTP 202
  Accepted + {pending_approval_id}. Both arms close the
  flip-flop loophole because every transition through an
  approval-tier profile fires the gate.
* TestProfileEdit_RequiresApprovalLoopholeClosed pins all 3
  bypass attempts (flip-off / kept-on / flip-on) gated; nil-
  approval-service preserves pre-Phase-9 direct-apply for
  test fixtures.
* Approval service tests gain 4 profile_edit rows: pending row
  shape; same-actor self-approve rejected with
  ErrApproveBySameActor (load-bearing two-person integrity);
  approve fails-closed when apply callback unwired;
  apply callback invoked on approve.
* docs/reference/profiles.md (new) explains the gate +
  edit response shape (202) + same-actor invariant + bypass
  + audit hooks.

# Phase 10 — RBAC management GUI

* useAuthMe hook (web/src/hooks/useAuthMe.ts): TanStack Query
  fetches /api/v1/auth/me on app boot, caches for 60s, exposes
  hasPerm(p) + hasAnyPerm + isAdmin predicates. Every Phase-10
  page consumes this on mount + gates affordances against the
  cached effective_permissions slice. Server-side enforcement
  is the load-bearing gate; client-side hide/disable is UX.
* New routes:
   - /auth/roles — list (auth.role.list); create-role modal
     (auth.role.create) hidden when missing.
   - /auth/roles/:id — detail + permissions; edit
     (auth.role.edit), delete (auth.role.delete), add/remove
     permission affordances each gated.
   - /auth/keys — list of every actor with role grants; assign
     + revoke modals (auth.role.assign). actor-demo-anon
     flagged system-managed; mutation buttons hidden for it.
   - /auth/settings — stub showing /v1/auth/me identity +
     bootstrap-endpoint availability via /v1/auth/bootstrap.
* AuditPage extended with category filter ('All categories'
  + the 3 enum values from migration 000032). Selection flows
  to the API call params + the URL-driven query state.
* Layout: 3 new nav entries (Roles / API Keys / Auth Settings).
* api/client.ts: 12 new exported functions for the RBAC
  surface (authMe, list/get/create/update/delete role,
  list/add/remove role permissions, list keys, assign/revoke
  key role, bootstrap-availability probe).
* data-testid attributes on every interactive element so a
  future Playwright suite can assert behavior without brittle
  CSS selectors.
* Empty state, error state, and unsaved-changes warnings on
  every form per the prompt's implementation rules.

# Frontend tests

* RolesPage.test.tsx (6 tests): list render, empty state,
  error state, hide-create-button-without-perm,
  show-create-button-with-perm, submit-create-modal.
* KeysPage.test.tsx (3 tests): demo-anon flagged
  system-managed (no buttons), permission-gated affordance
  hide for auditor caller, assign-modal-POST contract.
* AuthSettingsPage.test.tsx (2 tests): identity surface,
  bootstrap-OPEN-status surface.
* AuditPage.test.tsx (+1): category-filter select renders
  with the 4 documented options.

15 frontend tests total in src/pages/auth/ + the audit
category-filter test; all pass via npx vitest run.

shankar0123 af4fa12724 auth-bundle-1 Phase 8 follow-up: classify issuer/target audit rows + auditor end-to-end tests + gofmt drift
Self-audit caught five real gaps in 3ef45e2; this commit closes them.

# Phase 8 — issuer/target audit rows now classified as 'config'

The Phase 8 prompt explicitly required existing config-mutation
calls (issuer config, target config, etc.) to write
event_category=config. The 3ef45e2 commit only migrated the auth
service callers; the 6 issuer/target call-sites
(internal/service/issuer.go: create/update/delete_issuer +
internal/service/target.go: create/update/delete_target) still
defaulted to cert_lifecycle. They now pass through
RecordEventWithCategory(..., domain.EventCategoryConfig, ...) so
auditors filtering /v1/audit?category=config see the slice the
migration's docstring promised.

# Auditor exit-criterion test

Phase 8's exit criteria pin 'a user with the auditor role can list /
export audit events but gets 403 on every other endpoint.' Bundle 1
unit invariants (auditor permission set, rbacGate behaviour) were
in place but no end-to-end test walked the full set of admin perms
with an auditor actor. internal/api/router/rbac_gate_integration_test.go
gains TestRBACGate_AuditorRole_403sOnAdminRoutes (table-driven across
all 5 admin perms — cert.bulk_revoke / crl.admin / scep.admin /
est.admin / ca.hierarchy.manage) plus TestRBACGate_AuditorRole_PassesAuditReadGate
(positive case for audit.read).

# gofmt drift

3ef45e2 left two cosmetic struct-field-alignment diffs in
internal/cli/auth.go and internal/api/handler/audit_handler_test.go
that gofmt -l flagged. CI's gofmt step would have failed; gofmt -w
applied; gofmt -l now clean across the repo.

# CHANGELOG path-prefix

CHANGELOG.md v2.1.0 used '/v1/auth/bootstrap' shorthand in the
operator-facing flow examples. The actual route is
'/api/v1/auth/bootstrap'; an operator copy-pasting the curl would
404. All five hits replaced.

Verifications: gofmt clean, go vet ./internal/service/
./internal/api/router/ clean, go test -short -count=1 green across
internal/service + internal/api/router, including the 6 new
auditor sub-tests (PASS).
2026-05-09 20:23:41 +00:00
shankar0123 3ef45e2ad4 auth-bundle-1 Phase 6-7-8: bootstrap path + scope-down CLI + auditor-role split
# Phase 6 — day-0 admin bootstrap

* internal/auth/bootstrap/ (new package): Strategy interface +
  EnvTokenStrategy with constant-time compare, one-shot consumption
  via sync.Mutex, optional admin-existence probe. Bundle 2's OIDC-
  first-admin will plug in alongside as an alternate Strategy.
* BootstrapService.ValidateAndMint: validates the operator's
  CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN, mints a 32-byte (64-hex-char) random API
  key value, persists the SHA-256 hash to api_keys, grants r-admin
  via actor_roles, AddHashed's the runtime keystore so the just-
  minted key authenticates the next request without restart, and
  records bootstrap.consume to the audit trail with category=auth.
* internal/auth/keystore.go (new): KeyStore interface +
  StaticKeyStore (immutable env-var-only path) + MutableKeyStore
  (env-var keys + DB-loaded api_keys + runtime AddHashed). The auth
  middleware now consumes a KeyStore so the bootstrap path can
  extend the lookup table at runtime.
* migrations/000031_api_keys.up/down.sql: api_keys table with
  (id, name UNIQUE, key_hash UNIQUE, tenant_id, admin, created_by,
  created_at, expires_at, last_used_at). Idempotent.
* /v1/auth/bootstrap GET (probe) + POST (mint) — auth-exempt. Both
  routes documented in api/openapi.yaml + AuthExemptRouterRoutes
  allowlist updated. The token never leaves internal/auth/bootstrap;
  the minted plaintext key flows only into the HTTP response body.
* Startup warning emitted when CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN is set AND
  admin actors already exist (config drift signal).
* Tests: 4 strategy invariants (empty token born disabled, wrong
  token=ErrInvalidToken without consumption, one-shot consumption,
  admin-exists closes path), 5 service tests (happy path + actor-
  name validation + propagation of strategy errors + nil-deps
  guard + 32-byte entropy budget), 8 HTTP-handler tests (status
  201/410/401/400 mapping + token-leak hygiene scan of slog +
  audit details + Location header). Token-leak test redirects
  slog.Default to a buffer for the test scope.

# Phase 7 — API-key migration + scope-down CLI

* GET /v1/auth/keys handler + service method ListKeys backed by
  ActorRoleRepository.ListDistinctActors. Returns one row per
  (actor_id, actor_type) pair with the slice of role IDs they hold.
  Permission: auth.role.list.
* internal/cli/auth_scope_down.go: AuthListKeys, AuthScopeDown
  (interactive), AuthScopeDownNonInteractive (JSON config),
  AuthScopeDownSuggest (--suggest with optional --apply). The
  synthetic actor-demo-anon is filtered out of every interactive /
  bulk path; non-interactive flow logs and skips it explicitly.
* SuggestRoleFromAuditEvents (pure function): walks 30 days of
  audit events per actor and returns the narrowest matching role
  (admin / mcp / viewer / agent / operator) plus a one-line reason.
  Classification: any admin-shaped action wins; otherwise all-MCP
  → mcp; all-read-only → viewer; all-agent-shaped → agent;
  otherwise operator. Test table pins all six classifications.
* CLI subcommand tree extended: 'auth keys list' + 'auth keys
  scope-down [--non-interactive <cfg>] [--suggest [--apply]]'.
* CHANGELOG.md leads v2.1.0 with the SECURITY: AUDIT YOUR API KEYS
  call-out + four flow examples.

# Phase 8 — auditor role + event_category column

* migrations/000032_audit_category.up/down.sql: ALTER TABLE
  audit_events ADD COLUMN event_category TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT
  'cert_lifecycle' + CHECK constraint (cert_lifecycle/auth/config)
  + (event_category) and (event_category, timestamp DESC) indexes
  for the auditor-filter query path. WORM trigger from migration
  000018 continues to enforce append-only at the DB layer (DDL is
  not blocked).
* domain.AuditEvent gains EventCategory string (omitempty);
  domain.EventCategoryCertLifecycle / Auth / Config constants.
* AuditService.RecordEventWithCategory sibling of RecordEvent;
  legacy callers stay on RecordEvent (defaults to cert_lifecycle).
  Auth callers (RoleService, ActorRoleService, BootstrapService)
  switched to RecordEventWithCategory(..., 'auth', ...).
* GET /v1/audit?category=<cat>: handler accepts the optional query
  param, validates against the enum (400 on invalid value),
  dispatches through ListAuditEventsByCategory. OpenAPI updated
  with the new query param + AuditEvent.event_category schema.
* Postgres AuditRepository.Create now writes event_category;
  AuditRepository.List filters on it; AuditFilter.EventCategory
  gates the WHERE clause.
* Tests: 5 audit-category-filter HTTP tests (dispatch routing,
  back-compat fallback, 400 for invalid values, all 3 enum values
  accepted, page+category combine, JSON output surfaces the
  field). 3 auditor-role invariants (auditor holds exactly
  audit.read+audit.export, no mutating perms, disjoint from
  viewer except audit.read).

# Cross-phase wiring

* HandlerRegistry.Bootstrap field added; cmd/server/main.go wires
  the bootstrap service ahead of RegisterHandlers (extracted
  assembleNamedAPIKeys helper into auth_backfill.go, moved the
  keystore + bootstrap construction up alongside the auth repos).
* AuthCheckResolver / AuthActorRoleService extended with ListKeys
  to satisfy the Phase 7 surface; existing fakes updated.
* fakeAudit + mockAuditService stubs in tests gain
  RecordEventWithCategory + ListAuditEventsByCategory; existing
  tests untouched.

# Verifications

* gofmt -l: clean across every modified file.
* go vet ./...: clean.
* staticcheck across internal/auth + handler + router + cli +
  service + repository + cmd + domain: clean.
* go test -short -count=1: green across every Bundle-1-touched

shankar0123 60a589ab96 auth-bundle-1 Phase 0-5 closure: demo-mode wire, named-key backfill, AuthCheck enrichment, OpenAPI schema, intermediate-ca comment refresh
Closes the 5 gaps the post-Phase-5 audit flagged on dev/auth-bundle-1.

C1: cmd/server/main.go now selects auth.NewDemoModeAuth() when
CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=none and falls back to auth.NewAuthWithNamedKeys
otherwise. Pre-closure, the no-op pass-through that
NewAuthWithNamedKeys returns for empty keys would have left
ActorIDKey / ActorTypeKey / TenantIDKey unpopulated and 401'd
every Phase-3.5 rbacGate-wrapped admin route + every Phase-4
RBAC handler in demo deployments. NewDemoModeAuth injects the
synthetic 'actor-demo-anon' actor seeded by migration 000029,
which holds r-admin at global scope.

C2: backfillNamedKeyActorRoles startup hook (cmd/server/auth_backfill.go)
iterates CERTCTL_API_KEYS_NAMED entries (and legacy
CERTCTL_AUTH_SECRET synthesized fallbacks) and grants r-admin
or r-viewer to each via authActorRoleRepo.Grant before the
HTTP server starts accepting requests. Idempotent via
ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING in the repo. Failures log a warning but
are non-fatal — the server still starts and the operator can
fix grants via /v1/auth/keys. Helper extracted from main.go so
the role-mapping invariant is pinned by 4 focused unit tests
(admin->r-admin, non-admin->r-viewer, empty no-op,
grant-error non-fatal, nil-logger safe).

M1: HealthHandler.AuthCheck now returns actor_id, actor_type,
tenant_id, roles, effective_permissions, and admin_via_role
when the optional AuthCheckResolver is wired (production path:
authCheckResolverAdapter wraps the postgres ActorRoleRepository
in main.go). Nil resolver preserves the legacy {status, user,
admin} contract for back-compat with pre-Bundle-1 GUIs and
test fixtures. Adds 2 regression tests + 1 fake resolver shim.

M2: refreshes the stale 'Admin gate: every method calls
auth.IsAdmin first' comment on IntermediateCAHandler — the gate
moved to router.go::rbacGate via auth.RequirePermission
middleware in Phase 3.5; the new comment block points readers
there.

M4: 11 RBAC routes (auth/me, auth/permissions, 5 role lifecycle,
2 role-permission grant/revoke, 2 actor-role grant/revoke) added
to api/openapi.yaml under the [Auth] tag with operationIds and
shared AuthRole / AuthRolePermission schemas. AuthCheck path
extended with the Bundle-1 enrichment fields. The 11 entries
removed from openapi_parity_test.go::SpecParityExceptions.

Tests: go vet + staticcheck + go test -short -count=1 green
across cmd/server/, internal/auth/, internal/api/router/, and
internal/api/handler/. New tests: 4 backfill unit tests,
2 AuthCheck M1 enrichment tests, 1 demo-mode + rbacGate chain
integration test (TestRBACGate_DemoModeChainReachesHandler).

Branch SECURITY.md (cowork/auth-bundle-1-SECURITY.md, not part
of this commit) captures the full posture of dev/auth-bundle-1
as of this closure for the operator's pre-merge review.

shankar0123 7ff2e2de08 auth-bundle-1 Phase 3.5: handler IsAdmin -> router-wrapped RequirePermission
Phase 3.5 atomic conversion. The five legacy admin-gated handlers (bulk_revocation, admin_crl_cache, admin_scep_intune, admin_est, intermediate_ca) had their in-body auth.IsAdmin checks removed; the gate moved to router.go via auth.RequirePermission middleware wrapping each route. Non-admin operators with the right scoped permission can now reach these endpoints; legacy in-body admin checks no longer block them.

Migration 000030_rbac_admin_perms.up.sql ships five admin-only fine-grained permissions: cert.bulk_revoke, crl.admin, scep.admin, est.admin, ca.hierarchy.manage. All five are seeded into r-admin only; operator/viewer/agent/mcp/cli/auditor do not receive them by default. Operators can grant any of these to a custom role via the Phase 4 RBAC API. Idempotent + transaction-wrapped.

internal/domain/auth/validate.go::CanonicalPermissions extended with the five new entries so RoleService.AddPermission accepts them.

internal/api/router/router.go: HandlerRegistry gains a Checker field (auth.PermissionChecker). New rbacGate(checker, perm, handler) helper wraps a handler with auth.RequirePermission middleware; nil-checker fall-through preserves test/demo deployments without the RBAC stack. 12 admin routes wrapped: cert.bulk_revoke (POST /api/v1/certificates/bulk-revoke + POST /api/v1/est/certificates/bulk-revoke), crl.admin (GET /api/v1/admin/crl/cache), scep.admin (GET /api/v1/admin/scep/profiles + GET /api/v1/admin/scep/intune/stats + POST /api/v1/admin/scep/intune/reload-trust), est.admin (GET /api/v1/admin/est/profiles + POST /api/v1/admin/est/reload-trust), ca.hierarchy.manage (POST /api/v1/issuers/{id}/intermediates + GET /api/v1/issuers/{id}/intermediates + POST /api/v1/intermediates/{id}/retire + GET /api/v1/intermediates/{id}).

cmd/server/main.go: HandlerRegistry.Checker wired with the same authPermissionCheckerAdapter shim Phase 4 introduced for AuthHandler. Same adapter; one source of truth.

Handler bodies: removed eight in-body auth.IsAdmin checks across the 5 files. bulk_revocation.go's BulkRevoke + BulkRevokeEST, admin_crl_cache.go::ListCache, admin_scep_intune.go's three methods, admin_est.go's two methods, intermediate_ca.go's four methods. Replaced each with a comment naming the new gate location. Unused 'github.com/certctl-io/certctl/internal/auth' imports removed.

Test triplet rewrite: deleted obsolete _NonAdmin_Returns403 and _AdminExplicitFalse_Returns403 tests across 6 test files (5 handler tests + bulk_revocation_est_test.go) — they tested the now-removed in-body gate. _AdminPermitted_ForwardsActor tests stay intact: they pin the actor-passthrough invariant which is still relevant. Added internal/api/router/rbac_gate_integration_test.go with four router-level integration tests pinning the new gate: deny → 403 + handler not reached, permit → 200 + handler reached, nil-checker → fall-through, no-actor → 401.

M-008 admin-gate registry: AdminGatedHandlers map now empty (Phase 3.5 invariant: zero in-handler auth.IsAdmin call sites; only health.go's informational caller remains). m008_admin_gate_test.go retains the scan to enforce the invariant going forward; new admin-gated routes must wrap at router.go::rbacGate, not gate in-handler. Updated error message to direct future contributors to the new pattern.

Verifications: gofmt clean across all touched files; go vet ./... clean; go test -short across internal/auth, internal/service/auth, internal/api/handler, internal/api/router, cmd/server all green.

shankar0123 b169f258de auth-bundle-1 Phase 4 + 5: RBAC HTTP API + CLI surface
Phase 4 (HTTP API):

* internal/api/handler/auth.go: AuthHandler with 12 endpoints under /api/v1/auth/* — ListRoles, GetRole, CreateRole, UpdateRole, DeleteRole, ListPermissions, AddRolePermission, RemoveRolePermission, AssignRoleToKey, RevokeRoleFromKey, Me. callerFromRequest builds an authsvc.Caller from the Phase 3 ActorIDKey/ActorTypeKey/TenantIDKey context values. writeAuthError translates service + repository sentinels into HTTP status codes (401/403/404/409/400/500). 14 handler tests with in-memory fakes pin the HTTP shape + error mapping.

* internal/api/router/router.go: HandlerRegistry gains an Auth field; 11 new routes registered. openapi_parity_test SpecParityExceptions extended with the new auth routes (OpenAPI YAML schema land in a Phase 4 follow-up commit so the schema review is its own atomic change; the route shape is fully documented inline via the Go type definitions until then).

* cmd/server/main.go: wires the postgres auth repos (RoleRepository, PermissionRepository, ActorRoleRepository) + the Authorizer + RoleService/PermissionService/ActorRoleService into the new AuthHandler. Adds authPermissionCheckerAdapter to bridge the typed-string Authorizer signature to the auth.PermissionChecker interface (avoids an internal/auth → internal/service/auth import cycle).

Phase 5 (CLI):

* cmd/cli/main.go: adds 'auth' command dispatch with subcommands roles/permissions/keys/me.

* internal/cli/auth.go: AuthMe, AuthListRoles, AuthGetRole, AuthListPermissions, AuthAssignRoleToKey, AuthRevokeRoleFromKey methods on Client. Mirrors the Phase 4 HTTP surface.

Phase 3.5 (handler IsAdmin → middleware-wrapped RequirePermission) DEFERRED. Honest reasoning:

(1) The 5 admin handlers (bulk_revocation, admin_crl_cache, admin_scep_intune, admin_est, intermediate_ca) currently gate via auth.IsAdmin checks INSIDE the handler bodies. Converting cleanly requires moving the gate to the router (auth.RequirePermission middleware wrap) AND removing the in-handler check AND rewriting the existing 3-test triplets per handler (M-008 pinned: _NonAdmin_Returns403 / _AdminExplicitFalse_Returns403 / _AdminPermitted_ForwardsActor) because the existing tests call the handler function directly, bypassing middleware. After conversion, those tests would pass without 403'ing because the gate moved away — the test invariants need to flow through a router-level integration setup instead.

(2) Picking the right permission per handler is a security-review-worthy decision. Using existing operator-class perms (cert.revoke, issuer.edit) widens access from admin-only to operator-class; adding new admin-only perms (cert.bulk_revoke, crl.admin, scep.admin, est.admin, ca.hierarchy.manage) requires a migration 000030 plus a coordinated catalogue update in internal/domain/auth/validate.go. Both options are defensible but warrant a focused commit, not a 5-handler sweep mixed in with the API + CLI work.

(3) The conversion can be done now without functional regressions IF we leave the in-handler IsAdmin checks in place AND add middleware wraps as defense-in-depth — but that's the worst of both worlds (legacy gate still blocks non-admin operators, defeating the point of RBAC; new gate adds runtime cost with no semantic change). A clean conversion needs the in-handler check removed.

Concrete plan for Phase 3.5 (separate commit, next session): (a) add new admin-only perms via migration 000030 OR document the widening to operator-class; (b) wrap each of the 5 admin routes with auth.RequirePermission(checker, perm, nil) in router.go; (c) remove auth.IsAdmin checks from the 5 handler bodies; (d) move the M-008 _NonAdmin/_AdminExplicitFalse tests to router-level integration tests, keep _AdminPermitted as a direct handler test for actor-passthrough; (e) update m008_admin_gate_test.go registry to track auth.RequirePermission middleware wraps in router.go instead of auth.IsAdmin call sites in handler files.

Verifications: go vet ./... clean; gofmt clean across all touched files; go test -short -count=1 across internal/auth, internal/service/auth, internal/api/handler, internal/api/router, internal/cli, cmd/server, cmd/cli all green (one transient too-many-open-files retry on internal/cli + internal/api/router; second run clean).

Branch: dev/auth-bundle-1. Commit chain: 99a012e (Phase 0 extract) -> 19497ee (Phase 1 schema + repo) -> bd54d5f (Phase 2 service) -> d473398 (Phase 3 primitive) -> THIS (Phase 4 + 5).

shankar0123 d473398aba auth-bundle-1 Phase 3 (primitive): RequirePermission middleware + demo-mode + protocol allowlist
Bundle 1 / Phase 3 (primitive ship): the load-bearing RBAC middleware factory plus its dependencies. Handler conversion sweep (5 admin files: bulk_revocation.go, admin_crl_cache.go, admin_scep_intune.go, admin_est.go, intermediate_ca.go) + m008_admin_gate_test.go registry update is Phase 3.5 follow-on; this commit ships the primitive so 3.5 is mechanical.

New context keys (internal/auth/context.go): ActorIDKey, ActorTypeKey, TenantIDKey alongside the legacy UserKey + AdminKey. New helpers GetActorID / GetActorType / GetTenantID with safe fallbacks (UserKey for actor id, ActorTypeAPIKey for missing type, DefaultTenantID for missing tenant). Constants DemoAnonActorID + ActorTypeAPIKey + ActorTypeAnonymous mirror internal/domain/auth without an import cycle.

RequirePermission factory (internal/auth/require_permission.go): wraps a handler and gates it behind a named permission. 401 when no actor, 403 when actor lacks permission, 500 on repository error. Skips the gate entirely for protocol endpoints (ACME / SCEP / EST / OCSP / CRL) per the audit's Category F do-not-gate allowlist. PermissionChecker is an interface so internal/auth doesn't depend on internal/service/auth (cmd/server wires the concrete Authorizer at startup). HasPermission is the imperative variant for handlers that branch behaviour rather than 403'ing. ScopeFunc closure extracts the scope type + id from the request for per-resource gating.

Protocol-endpoint allowlist (internal/auth/protocol_endpoints.go): IsProtocolEndpoint matches /acme, /scep, /.well-known/est, /.well-known/pki/ocsp, /.well-known/pki/crl prefixes. Adding a new protocol endpoint MUST update this list and add a parallel test.

Demo-mode synthetic admin (internal/auth/middleware.go::NewDemoModeAuth): when CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=none is configured, this middleware injects ActorID=actor-demo-anon, ActorType=Anonymous, TenantID=t-default, plus the legacy UserKey + AdminKey for back-compat with existing handlers. The synthetic actor's admin-role grant is seeded by migration 000029 so RequirePermission resolves through the JOIN like any other actor. cmd/server startup wires this middleware only when none-mode is configured.

API-key middleware extension: NewAuthWithNamedKeys now populates the new keys (ActorIDKey, ActorTypeKey=APIKey, TenantIDKey=t-default) alongside UserKey + AdminKey on every successful Bearer match. Existing handlers continue to read UserKey / IsAdmin until the Phase 3.5 sweep converts them to RequirePermission.

Test coverage: TestRequirePermission_NoActorReturns401, TestRequirePermission_GrantedActorReaches200, TestRequirePermission_DeniedActorReturns403, TestRequirePermission_CheckerErrorReturns500, TestRequirePermission_ProtocolEndpointBypassesGate (covers all 5 prefixes), TestRequirePermission_ScopeFnExtractsResourceID, TestIsProtocolEndpoint_PrefixesOnly, TestNewDemoModeAuth_InjectsSyntheticActor, TestNewAuthWithNamedKeys_PopulatesPhase3ContextKeys. fakeChecker pins the contract without a database.

Phase 3.5 follow-on (NOT in this commit): convert each of the 5 admin handlers from auth.IsAdmin checks to auth.RequirePermission middleware in router.go; update internal/api/handler/m008_admin_gate_test.go to track auth.RequirePermission call sites instead of (or alongside) auth.IsAdmin; pick the right permission per handler (cert.revoke for bulk_revocation, etc.). Each handler conversion needs the 3-test triplet (_NonAdmin_Returns403 / _AdminExplicitFalse_Returns403 / _AdminPermitted_ForwardsActor) per M-008.

Branch: dev/auth-bundle-1. Phase 2 was prior commit (service layer). Phase 3.5 (handler conversion) + Phase 4 (HTTP API) on the next session.

shankar0123 bd54d5f7fa auth-bundle-1 Phase 2: RBAC service layer + Authorizer primitive
Bundle 1 / Phase 2: ships PermissionService, RoleService, ActorRoleService, and the Authorizer primitive that Phase 3 RequirePermission middleware calls on every gated request.

Authorizer.CheckPermission semantics: a grant matches when (a) the permission name equals the requested permission AND (b) the grant is global-scoped OR the grant scope_type+scope_id exactly match the request. Global beats specific; per-resource grants widen the effective set rather than shadowing global. Hot-path query is one ActorRoleRepository.EffectivePermissions JOIN call (already shipped in Phase 1) plus an in-memory walk; Phase 12 will add benchmarks + caching if the JOIN cost shows up at scale.

Privilege-escalation guard: ActorRoleService.Grant and Revoke require the caller to hold auth.role.assign globally. Without it, ErrSelfRoleAssignment. System callers (AsSystemCaller()) bypass the check; bootstrap, migrations, scheduler-initiated grants use this path. Reserved actor actor-demo-anon is rejected on Grant + Revoke so the demo path stays alive even after a misclick (ErrAuthReservedActor).

Caller abstraction: every service entry point takes *Caller (ActorID, ActorType, TenantID, IsSystem). CallerFromContext is a stub returning ErrUnauthenticated; Phase 3 wires the middleware-context bridge that fills the Caller from request context. The contract is pinned by TestCallerFromContext_Phase2ReturnsUnauthenticated so the Phase 3 upgrade is observable.

Audit recording: every mutating service operation calls AuditService.RecordEvent. Bundle 1 Phase 8 adds the event_category column + parameter and back-fills 'auth' for these calls; until then the rows go in with the default category.

Test coverage: in-memory fakeRoleRepo / fakePermissionRepo / fakeActorRoleRepo / fakeAudit pin the privilege-escalation invariants (ErrUnauthenticated for nil caller, ErrForbidden for missing perm, ErrInvalidPermission for non-canonical permission name, ErrSelfRoleAssignment for Grant without auth.role.assign, ErrAuthReservedActor for actor-demo-anon mutations, system-caller bypass) without requiring testcontainers. Phase 12 will add live-Postgres integration coverage.

Branch: dev/auth-bundle-1. Phase 1 was 19497ee (RBAC schema + repo). Phase 3 (middleware integration) is the next commit on this branch.

shankar0123 19497eef87 auth-bundle-1 Phase 1: RBAC schema + domain types + repository layer
Bundle 1 / Phase 1: ships the RBAC primitive as schema + domain types + repo layer. Service-layer wiring lands in Phase 2; middleware integration in Phase 3.

Schema (migrations/000029_rbac.up.sql, 272 lines, idempotent, transaction-wrapped):

tenants, roles, permissions, role_permissions, actor_roles. TEXT primary keys with prefixes (t-, r-, p-, ar-) per CLAUDE.md Architecture Decisions. TIMESTAMPTZ time columns. FK cascade explicit (tenant CASCADE, role RESTRICT, actor CASCADE). Three-value scope_type CHECK ('global', 'profile', 'issuer') matched 1:1 with internal/domain/auth.ScopeType. UNIQUE(tenant_id, name) on roles, UNIQUE(name) on permissions, UNIQUE(actor_id, actor_type, role_id, tenant_id) on actor_roles.

Seeds: t-default tenant, 7 default roles (admin, operator, viewer, agent, mcp, cli, auditor), 33-permission canonical catalogue (cert.* / profile.* / issuer.* / target.* / agent.* / audit.* / auth.role.* / auth.key.* / auth.bootstrap.use), full role->permission grant matrix at global scope. Demo-mode preservation: actor-demo-anon seeded with admin role unconditionally; Phase 3 wires the auth middleware to inject this actor into the context when CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=none. Reserved system actor; Phase 4 API rejects mutations / deletions targeting it with 409 Conflict.

Domain types (internal/domain/auth/{types,validate,validate_test}.go):

Tenant, Role, Permission, RolePermission, ActorRole structs with JSON tags. ScopeType enum (global/profile/issuer). ActorTypeValue mirrors internal/domain.ActorType to avoid an import cycle. CanonicalPermissions slice + DefaultRoles map are the single source of truth referenced by the migration; validate_test.go pins (a) no duplicate permissions, (b) every default-role permission is canonical, (c) admin holds the full catalogue, (d) seeded IDs carry the prefix convention, (e) ScopeType enum has exactly 3 values matching the CHECK constraint.

Extended internal/domain/audit.go: added ActorTypeAPIKey + ActorTypeAnonymous to the existing User/System/Agent enum so the audit trail can distinguish API-key requests from federated humans (Bundle 2 OIDC) and demo-mode (CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=none). Existing code that records actor_type=User keeps working; new APIKey value used by Bundle 1 Phase 3 middleware.

Repository layer (internal/repository/auth.go + internal/repository/postgres/auth.go):

TenantRepository (Get, List, EnsureDefault). RoleRepository (Get, GetByName, List, Create, Update, Delete with ErrAuthRoleInUse on FK RESTRICT, ListPermissions, AddPermission idempotent, RemovePermission). PermissionRepository (List, GetByName, IsCanonical for fail-fast catalog check). ActorRoleRepository (ListByActor, ListByRole, Grant idempotent, Revoke, EffectivePermissions which is the JOIN that auth.RequirePermission will use in Phase 3 — returns deduplicated (permission, scope) triples honouring the not-yet-expired predicate so future time-bound grants work without code change). Sentinel errors ErrAuthNotFound, ErrAuthDuplicateName, ErrAuthRoleInUse, ErrAuthReservedActor, ErrAuthUnknownPermission for handler-layer 404/409/400 mapping.

Verification: gofmt clean, go vet ./... clean, go test -short ./internal/domain/auth ./internal/repository/postgres pass. Integration tests against a live Postgres are gated by testing.Short() per repo convention; Phase 12 wires the testcontainers harness for full e2e coverage.

Branch: dev/auth-bundle-1. Phase 0 was 99a012e (extract internal/auth/). Phase 2 (service layer) is the next bundle.

shankar0123 99a012e3be auth-bundle-1 Phase 0: extract internal/auth/ from middleware package
Bundle 1 / Phase 0: pure refactor splitting auth surface out of internal/api/middleware so Bundle 2 (OIDC + sessions) and the broader RBAC primitive (roles, permissions, scoped grants) have a clean home.

Moved to internal/auth/: NamedAPIKey, HashAPIKey, AuthConfig, NewAuthWithNamedKeys, NewAuth, UserKey, AdminKey, GetUser, IsAdmin. Added testfixtures.go (WithActor / WithAdmin / WithActorAdmin) so handler tests don't construct context manually.

Stayed in internal/api/middleware/: RequestID, Logging, NewLogging, Recovery, RateLimitConfig, NewRateLimiter (now imports auth.GetUser for per-user keying per audit Category C), CORSConfig, NewCORS, ContentType, CORS, GetRequestID, responseWriter, Chain, audit middleware (now imports auth.GetUser).

Updated 22 caller files across cmd/, internal/api/handler/, internal/api/middleware/, internal/mcp/. Existing m008_admin_gate_test.go now scans for auth.IsAdmin( substring; Phase 3 will further evolve to track auth.RequirePermission. Behavior unchanged: all handler / middleware / service / connector / cmd / mcp tests pass with no test-logic edits, only import-path renames.

Phase 0 exit criteria: internal/auth/ exists with 6 files; middleware.go went 575 -> 422 lines (auth-related ~150 lines moved out); grep -rE 'middleware\.(GetUser|IsAdmin|UserKey|AdminKey|NamedAPIKey|HashAPIKey|NewAuth)' returns 0 hits; context.WithValue(.*middleware.UserKey/AdminKey) returns 0 hits; go vet ./... clean; go test -short ./... green across all packages tested.

Branch: dev/auth-bundle-1. Per cowork/auth-bundle-1-prompt.md, do not merge to master without (1) make verify green, (2) >= 2 external testers confirm, (3) >= 90% coverage on internal/auth/ in .github/coverage-thresholds.yml.

shankar0123 71ebccb8ba docs: fix broken ../examples/ links across docs/ (closes #11)
Reporter (thesudoer0003) flagged that the example links in
docs/getting-started/examples.md resolve to /docs/examples/ which
does not exist. Same bug pattern shows up in four other docs files.

The example READMEs live at examples/<name>/<name>.md at the repo
root, not under docs/. The references in the docs/ tree used
relative paths like `../examples/acme-nginx/acme-nginx.md` which
resolve to docs/examples/... — one level short of escaping out to
the repo root. Fix is one extra `../` so the path resolves to
examples/... at repo root, where the files actually live.

Files touched:
  docs/getting-started/examples.md           5 links
  docs/getting-started/why-certctl.md        1 link
  docs/migration/cert-manager-coexistence.md 1 link
  docs/migration/from-acmesh.md              1 link
  docs/migration/from-certbot.md             1 link

Verified: every `../../examples/<name>/<name>.md` reference now
resolves to the on-disk file. Re-checked via:

  for f in $(grep -rl 'examples/' docs/); do
    for link in $(grep -oE '\.\./\.\./examples/[^)]*' "$f"); do
      [ -e "$(dirname "$f")/$link" ] || echo "STILL BROKEN: $f -> $link"
    done
  done

zero "STILL BROKEN" output.

shankar0123 ff6bf8f203 docs(README): add Status: Early-access disclosure block
Reddit posts and operator-facing copy describe certctl as alpha for
production, but the README's marketing-paragraph framing implied a
more polished maturity. Dual-positioning erodes credibility because
evaluators read both surfaces.

Adds a dedicated "Status: Early-access" blockquote between the
SC-081v3 paragraph and the existing "Actively maintained, shipping
weekly" callout. Calls out the production-quality core (Local CA,
ACME, agent deployment, CRUD, audit) versus the still-maturing
broader surface (intermediate CA hierarchy, ACME/SCEP/EST servers,
network appliances). Encourages lab/dev deployments and welcomes
production deployments with the customer-scale caveat.

The two consecutive blockquotes (Status + Actively maintained) read
as paired signals: the project is early-access AND actively
shipping, which is the honest joint position.

shankar0123 7a9ae3157f fix(seed): repair deployment_targets FK violation crashing fresh demo boot
The Rank 5 cloud-target seed rows in `seed_demo.sql` referenced a
non-existent `ag-server` agent_id. On every fresh-clone
`docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml -f deploy/docker-compose.demo.yml up`
the server crash-looped at the demo-seed step:

  pq: insert or update on table "deployment_targets" violates foreign
  key constraint "deployment_targets_agent_id_fkey"

Origin: commit 9a7e818 ("docs, seed: cloud-target operator runbook +
AWS ACM / Azure KV demo seed rows") added the rows but didn't insert
or rebind to a matching agents row. The `ag-server` ID never existed
in seed_demo.sql or anywhere else.

Fix: bind the two cloud targets to the existing cloud sentinel agents
that were already inserted at lines 78-79 (alongside `cloud-gcp-sm`):

  - tgt-aws-acm-prod  → cloud-aws-sm
  - tgt-azure-kv-prod → cloud-azure-kv

These cloud sentinels were inserted in commit 9a7e818's same family
specifically to back agentless cloud targets — exact semantic match.

Why the existing test didn't catch this:
TestRunDemoSeed_AppliesIdempotently in
internal/repository/postgres/seed_test.go calls the same RunSeed +
RunDemoSeed pair the server uses at boot, so it WOULD have caught the
FK violation. But the test depends on a live PostgreSQL container via
testcontainers-go and is gated under `testing.Short()` → the default
`go test ./... -short` lane that `make verify` runs always skipped it.
The dedicated integration lane that strips `-short` either wasn't run
on commit 9a7e818 or the failure was missed. Promoting the test out
from under `-short` is a separate hardening conversation (CI runs
need docker-in-docker which isn't free); that's out of scope for this
hotfix.

Static FK audit confirms the fix:
  Defined agent IDs (12): ag-{data,edge-01,iis,k8s,lb,mac-dev,
    web-prod,web-staging}-prod, cloud-{aws-sm,azure-kv,gcp-sm},
    server-scanner
  Referenced agent_id values in deployment_targets after fix:
    ag-data-prod, ag-edge-01, ag-iis-prod, ag-k8s-prod, ag-lb-prod,
    ag-web-prod, ag-web-staging, cloud-aws-sm, cloud-azure-kv
  Unresolved: zero.

Acceptance gate (operator-side):
  - docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml \
                   -f deploy/docker-compose.demo.yml up -d --build
    against a fresh clone — server boots clean within 30s, dashboard
    at https://localhost:8443 shows the seeded demo data.

shankar0123 1720e11109 docs: fix broken single-file demo invocation in README + qa-prerequisites + ENVIRONMENTS
The README's Quick Start, the qa-prerequisites contributor doc, and the
landing page (separate repo, separate commit) all shipped a copy-paste
command that produces:

  service "certctl-server" has neither an image nor a build context
  specified: invalid compose project

The bug landed silently with commit a3d8b9c (the U-3 master). Pre-U-3,
docker-compose.demo.yml was self-contained and could be invoked with a
single -f flag. U-3 deliberately reduced it to a 27-line overlay — its
only payload today is `CERTCTL_DEMO_SEED=true` on the certctl-server
service — because the demo seed now applies at boot via
postgres.RunDemoSeed, not via /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/. The overlay
no longer carries an image: or build: of its own, so it MUST be passed
alongside the base file.

The README/qa-doc/landing-page never picked up the rename of the contract.
Every operator who copy-pasted the Quick Start since U-3 has hit the
"invalid compose project" error and bounced. The operator caught it
running the demo locally today.

This commit fixes the three certctl-repo sites:

  README.md (Quick Start)
    docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.demo.yml up -d --build
    →
    docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml -f deploy/docker-compose.demo.yml up -d --build

    Plus the "drop the -f flag for clean install" prose now spells out
    the correct fallback (`-f deploy/docker-compose.yml` alone).

  docs/contributor/qa-prerequisites.md (Step 1)
    Same single-file → two-file fix, plus an inline note explaining
    why the override-only file requires the base (so the next person
    who reads it understands the contract instead of re-discovering it).

  deploy/ENVIRONMENTS.md (Demo Overlay → What it adds)
    Replaced the stale "One line: mounts seed_demo.sql into PostgreSQL's
    init directory" claim — that hasn't been true since U-3 — with the
    accurate "One env var: CERTCTL_DEMO_SEED=true; server applies
    seed_demo.sql at boot via postgres.RunDemoSeed" description, plus
    the historical context for why the overlay can't stand alone.

The certctl.io landing page hits the same bug (line 759); fix shipping
in a separate commit in that repo.

Acceptance gate (manual):
  - copy/paste the new README Quick Start command end-to-end against
    a fresh clone — succeeds, dashboard at https://localhost:8443
    shows the seeded demo data within ~30s.
  - clean-install fallback (`docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml
    up -d --build`) starts a working stack with no demo data.

shankar0123 f40e975439 gui(certificates): surface profile contract in create-cert form (closes P3-3, P3-4, P3-5)
Closes findings P3-3, P3-4, P3-5 from the 2026-05-05 CLI/API/MCP↔GUI
parity audit (cowork/cli-gui-parity-audit-2026-05-05/RESULTS.md). The
audit flagged three "hidden defaults" in the create-certificate form:
environment='production', shortLived=false, selectedEkus=['serverAuth'].

Re-grounding against the live source:

  P3-3 was a false positive. The form already exposes an environment
  selector with three options (Production / Staging / Development) and
  defaults to Production. No change needed — covered by new test pin.

  P3-4 + P3-5 misread the architecture. allow_short_lived and
  allowed_ekus are NOT per-cert form-state fields; they are properties
  of the CertificateProfile that the operator binds via the existing
  Profile dropdown. Adding form-level toggles for them would contradict
  the profile-as-primitive design (the profile carries the policy
  contract — TTL, EKUs, key-algo allow-list, short-lived eligibility —
  so the cert can inherit a coherent set rather than letting operators
  hand-mix invalid combinations).

  The genuine UX gap was opacity: operators picked a profile without
  seeing what allow_short_lived / allowed_ekus the profile carried.

This commit closes the spirit of the finding by surfacing the selected
profile's load-bearing properties in a read-only "Profile contract"
panel that appears below the Profile dropdown once a profile is
selected. The panel shows:

  - allowed_ekus list (so operators see whether a profile is
    serverAuth, emailProtection, codeSigning, or a mix)
  - allow_short_lived flag (highlighted when true so operators know
    they're picking a profile that allows TTL < 1h CRL/OCSP-exempt
    certs per the M15b regime)
  - explanatory text that EKUs and short-lived eligibility are
    profile-level (not per-cert), guiding operators to edit the
    profile or pick a different one

Test pins (web/src/pages/CertificatesPage.test.tsx):

  - environment selector renders with 3 options, defaults to production
  - environment selector toggles to staging / development on change
  - Profile contract panel is hidden until a profile is selected
  - Profile contract panel surfaces allowed_ekus when a TLS-server
    profile is picked
  - Profile contract panel surfaces emailProtection EKU when an S/MIME
    profile is picked (closes the "S/MIME flows can't be initiated
    from the GUI" sub-finding — they can, by picking an emailProtection
    profile)
  - Profile contract panel flags allow_short_lived=true when an IoT
    short-lived profile is picked (closes the "operators can't issue
    short-lived certs through the GUI" sub-finding — they can, by
    picking an allow_short_lived profile)

Implementation notes:
  - data-testid='cert-form-environment' + 'cert-form-profile' +
    'cert-form-profile-detail' added to make the test selectors stable
    across DOM-restructuring refactors. No production behaviour change
    from the test IDs.
  - No new dependencies; no form-library introduction (per the prompt's
    out-of-scope list); uses the existing bare React state pattern.
  - No API changes — Certificate.allowed_ekus / allow_short_lived
    already exist on the CertificateProfile type in web/src/api/types.ts.

Acceptance gate (verified):
  - npm test on src/pages/CertificatesPage.test.tsx: 12/12 pass
    (6 pre-existing T-1 tests + 6 new P3-3..P3-5 pins).
  - All sibling page tests (AuditPage, TargetDetailPage, ShortLivedPage,
    etc.) still pass.

shankar0123 0e06f6c4fc cli: promote --force on renew + require --reason on revoke (closes P3-1, P3-2)
Closes findings P3-1 and P3-2 from the 2026-05-05 CLI/API/MCP↔GUI parity
audit (cowork/cli-gui-parity-audit-2026-05-05/RESULTS.md). Both findings
flagged hidden defaults that the CLI was sending without exposing them
to operators: `force=false` baked into every renew payload, and a silent
fallback to `reason="unspecified"` whenever --reason was omitted.

P3-1 — promote --force on `certs renew` (full end-to-end plumbing)

The pre-2026-05-05 CLI sent `{"force": false}` in the renew body. The
API handler never decoded it — a textbook "lying field" per the
operator's CLAUDE.md "complete path, not the easy path" rule: the body
field stored a value, claimed to do something, and silently did nothing
because the wire never reached the consumer. Adding a --force flag that
also went unread would have created another lying field.

This commit takes the complete path:

  service.CertificateService.TriggerRenewal grew a `force bool` parameter
  (internal/service/certificate.go). When force=true, the
  RenewalInProgress block is overridden so operators can recover stuck
  in-flight renewals where a previous job hung without releasing the
  status flag. Archived and Expired remain terminal blockers regardless
  of force — those are semantic dead-ends that --force should not paper
  over (archived = decommissioned, expired = issue a new cert instead of
  renewing a dead one).

  handler.CertificateHandler.TriggerRenewal parses force from
  ?force=true (or ?force=1) query param, OR {"force": true} JSON body,
  whichever the client picks. Defaults to false. Passes through to the
  service.

  internal/cli/client.go::RenewCertificate(id, force bool) sends
  ?force=true on the URL when --force is set. The historical hardcoded
  `{"force": false}` body is gone — no more lying field.

  cmd/cli/main.go dispatches `certs renew <id> [--force]` (ID-first
  flag-second convention matches the existing `agents retire <id>
  [--force]`).

P3-2 — require --reason on `certs revoke` (Option A: strict refusal)

The pre-2026-05-05 CLI dropped to `--reason unspecified` whenever the
operator omitted the flag. Compliance reporting (RFC 5280 §5.3.1, PCI-
DSS §3.6, HIPAA §164.312) relies on the reason code being meaningful;
silent fallback defeats the audit trail because every revocation looks
identical.

  cmd/cli/main.go dispatch refuses to send when --reason is empty,
  prints the canonical RFC 5280 §5.3.1 reason-code menu, and exits
  non-zero.

  internal/cli/client.go exposes ValidRevokeReasons() returning the
  canonical camelCase list (unspecified, keyCompromise, caCompromise,
  affiliationChanged, superseded, cessationOfOperation, certificateHold,
  removeFromCRL, privilegeWithdrawn, aaCompromise) and
  NormalizeRevokeReason() that accepts both camelCase and snake_case
  inputs and normalises to the canonical wire form. Off-list reasons
  are rejected at dispatch with the menu re-printed.

Test pins:

  internal/cli/client_test.go::TestClient_RenewCertificate_ForceFlag —
  --force=true sends ?force=true with empty body; --force=false sends
  no query and no body.

  internal/cli/client_test.go::TestNormalizeRevokeReason +
  TestValidRevokeReasons — canonical-camelCase + snake_case + reject-
  off-enum behaviour.

  cmd/cli/dispatch_test.go::TestHandleCerts_Revoke_RequiresReason +
  TestHandleCerts_Revoke_RejectsUnknownReason +
  TestHandleCerts_Renew_ForceFlag — dispatch-layer pins for the same
  contracts.

  internal/api/handler/certificate_handler_test.go::TestTriggerRenewal_
  ForceQueryParam — query-param passthrough (no-flag, force=true,
  force=1, force=false) flows through to the service-layer parameter.

  internal/service/certificate_test.go::TestTriggerRenewal_
  ForceOverridesInProgress — force=false preserves the
  RenewalInProgress block; force=true clears it.

  Existing TestTriggerRenewal_Archived extended to assert force=true
  still blocks Archived (terminal-state guarantee).

Docs: docs/reference/cli.md updated with the --force example for renew
and the strict --reason semantics for revoke (including snake_case
input acceptance).

shankar0123 ff75361553 mcp(coverage): add 34 tools across 7 domains to close 2026-05-05 parity audit P1 findings
Closes findings P1-1..P1-35 from the 2026-05-05 CLI/API/MCP↔GUI parity
audit (cowork/cli-gui-parity-audit-2026-05-05/RESULTS.md). Before this
bundle, 35 operator-facing API endpoints had GUI surfaces but no MCP
counterpart — operators using AI assistants for cert lifecycle work in
regulated environments had to drop to curl for approve/reject, health-check
acknowledgement, renewal-policy CRUD, network-scan triggering, discovery
triage, intermediate-CA management, and job verification.

Tool count: 87→121 in tools.go (+34), 6 unchanged in tools_est.go.
Re-derive via grep -cE 'gomcp\\.AddTool\\(' internal/mcp/tools.go
internal/mcp/tools_est.go.

The 7 phases (matching the bundle prompt at
cowork/mcp-coverage-expansion-prompt.md):

  Phase A — Approvals (P1-28..P1-31, 4 tools)
    list_approvals, get_approval, approve_request, reject_request.
    Two-person-integrity contract (ErrApproveBySameActor → HTTP 403)
    is preserved automatically: the decided_by actor is derived
    server-side from middleware.UserKey, NOT from request body, so
    the MCP server's authenticated API-key identity becomes the
    audit-trail actor. The MCP input schema deliberately omits any
    actor_id field to prevent client-side spoofing.

  Phase B — Health Checks (P1-20..P1-27, 8 tools)
    list, summary, get, create, update, delete, history, acknowledge.
    Mirrors the existing target-resource shape; acknowledge takes
    optional 'actor' string captured in the audit row (handler defaults
    to 'unknown' if absent).

  Phase C — Renewal Policies (P1-1..P1-5, 5 tools)
    Standard CRUD against /api/v1/renewal-policies. Distinct from the
    legacy 'policy' tools that point at the same path — these expose
    the renewal-policy domain explicitly with full alert_channels +
    alert_severity_map field shape.

  Phase D — Network Scan Targets (P1-14..P1-19, 6 tools)
    CRUD + trigger_scan. trigger_network_scan returns the discovery-
    scan body so the AI can chain into list_discovered_certificates
    filtered by agent_id.

  Phase E — Discovery read-side (P1-10..P1-13, 4 tools)
    list_discovered_certificates, get_discovered_certificate,
    list_discovery_scans, discovery_summary. Complements the
    pre-existing claim/dismiss tools (registered alongside Health
    historically per the I-2 closure).

  Phase F — Intermediate CAs (P1-6..P1-9, 4 tools)
    list, create (root + child via discriminator on body shape), get,
    retire. The handler is admin-gated via middleware.IsAdmin; the
    least-privilege boundary is enforced at the API layer (HTTP 403
    for non-admin Bearer callers) — not by transport carve-out.

  Phase G — Verification + deployments (P1-32, P1-34, P1-35, 3 tools)
    list_certificate_deployments, verify_job, get_job_verification.
    P1-33 (POST /api/v1/agents/{id}/discoveries) is intentionally
    excluded — machine-to-machine push channel for agents reporting
    filesystem-scan results, not an operator-driven flow. Documented
    inline in the RegisterTools dispatch.

Implementation:
  - 14 new input types in internal/mcp/types.go with jsonschema struct
    tags driving LLM tool discovery.
  - 7 register* functions in internal/mcp/tools.go each handling one
    phase, wired into RegisterTools dispatch in declaration order.
  - 34 new entries in tools_per_tool_test.go::allHappyPathCases —
    the existing in-process MCP harness (TestMCP_AllTools_HappyPath +
    TestMCP_AllTools_ErrorPath + TestMCP_RegisterTools_DispatchableToolCount)
    auto-extends coverage to cover every new tool: happy-path round-
    trip with fence-shape assertion, 5xx error-path with MCP_ERROR fence
    propagation, and 'every registered tool is dispatchable' guard.
  - docs/reference/mcp.md 'Available Tools' table expanded from 16 to
    22 resource domains with current per-domain tool counts.

Acceptance gate (verified):
  - go build ./cmd/server/... ./cmd/agent/... ./cmd/cli/... ./cmd/mcp-server/...
    clean across all four production binaries.
  - go vet ./... clean.
  - go test -short -count=1 ./internal/mcp/... pass (TestMCP_AllTools_*
    expanded to 127 tool round-trips).
  - go test -short -count=1 ./... pass repo-wide.
  - bash scripts/ci-guards/openapi-handler-parity.sh clean (router 178,
    OpenAPI 144, exceptions 36 — unchanged; we add MCP wrappers, not
    routes).
  - gofmt -l clean across the four touched files.

shankar0123 e0aaa967c9 docs(README): add MCP server bullet to capabilities list
The README's 'What it does' section enumerated 11 capability bullets
(issuers / targets / ACME server / SCEP server / EST server /
hierarchy / approvals / discovery / revocation / alerts) but had
zero mention of the MCP server. The 2026-05-05 CLI/API/MCP ↔ GUI
parity audit confirmed 93 MCP tools shipped today (87 in
internal/mcp/tools.go + 6 in internal/mcp/tools_est.go) covering the
full API surface. That's a real differentiator hidden from anyone
landing on the README.

Adds a 12th bullet positioning the MCP server with concrete example
queries operators can ask their AI client (expiring certs, revoke
with key-compromise reason, agent offline check). Frames the
architectural facts: separate binary at cmd/mcp-server/, stateless
stdio transport, no extra auth surface beyond the existing API key,
no extra attack surface.

shankar0123 17455d2ea2 deps(web): pin picomatch to >=4.0.4 via npm override; clears 4 dependabot alerts
Dependabot flagged four picomatch vulnerabilities in
web/package-lock.json:

  #8  GHSA-?, ReDoS via extglob quantifiers
  #9  GHSA-?, ReDoS via extglob quantifiers (related to #8)
  #10 CVE-2026-33672 / GHSA-3v7f-55p6-f55p, method injection via
      POSIX character classes (related; affecting < 2.3.2)
  #11 CVE-2026-33672 / GHSA-3v7f-55p6-f55p, method injection via
      POSIX character classes — same advisory as #10, separate
      Dependabot row because it surfaces against a second copy
      of picomatch in the dep tree

All four close on the same fix: every resolved picomatch instance
must be >= 4.0.4 (or >= 3.0.2, or >= 2.3.2 — the patch shipped on
all three release lines). Pre-fix the lockfile carried at least
two vulnerable copies:

  node_modules/picomatch                             v2.3.1  (vuln)
  node_modules/vitest/node_modules/picomatch         v4.0.3  (vuln for #11)
  node_modules/vite/node_modules/picomatch           v4.0.4  (ok)
  node_modules/tinyglobby/node_modules/picomatch     v4.0.4  (ok)

Reachability check before fixing:

  - picomatch is a build-time glob-matching tool (used by
    tailwindcss → readdirp/anymatch/micromatch chain, plus by
    vite + vitest internals).
  - All instances in our tree are dev=true. None are bundled into
    the React production output (web/dist/assets/*.js) — that's
    just the React SPA, no node_modules at runtime.
  - The CVE only affects code that processes UNTRUSTED glob
    patterns. Our build pipeline only globs operator-controlled
    file patterns (TSX source files, Tailwind 'content' globs).
    Not network-reachable.

So the CVE was not reachable from any shipped certctl artefact.
Fix anyway because the alerts are noise.

Fix mechanism: add an npm 'overrides' entry pinning picomatch to
^4.0.4 across all consumers. npm collapses every transitive
picomatch resolution to the override, so the lockfile shrinks from
4 picomatch entries to 1, all on v4.0.4 (patched).

Verification:

  npm install --package-lock-only      → up to date, 0 vuln
  npm audit                            → found 0 vulnerabilities

Diff: 2 files, 7 insertions / 43 deletions (net negative — the
override de-duplicates the picomatch tree).

the two related ReDoS picomatch alerts (#8, #9)

shankar0123 f2c77ba3fb deps: bump testcontainers-go v0.35.0 → v0.42.0; drops docker/docker dep entirely (clears CVE-2026-34040)
Dependabot flagged GHSA-x744-4wpc-v9h2 / CVE-2026-34040 (Moby AuthZ
plugin bypass on oversized request bodies, incomplete fix for
CVE-2024-41110) on the transitive github.com/docker/docker
v27.1.1+incompatible pulled in via testcontainers-go v0.35.0.

Reachability check before fixing:

  - certctl does not run dockerd or configure AuthZ plugins.
  - go list -deps ./cmd/{server,agent,cli,mcp-server}/... finds zero
    docker/docker references in any production binary's transitive
    set.
  - testcontainers is consumed only by *_test.go files under
    internal/repository/postgres/ + deploy/test/ for ephemeral
    Postgres containers.

So the CVE was not reachable from any shipped certctl artefact.
Bump anyway because Dependabot noise is noise; the upgrade is
mechanical.

Bumping testcontainers-go v0.35.0 → v0.42.0 (latest, 2026-04-09)
removes the direct docker/docker dependency entirely — testcontainers
v0.42.0 reorganized away from the Moby SDK. After 'go mod tidy',
docker/docker is GONE from both go.mod and go.sum, not merely
bumped. The Dependabot alert closes automatically on push.

Co-bumped transitives (cascading from testcontainers' new dep tree):

  go.opentelemetry.io/otel               v1.24.0  → v1.41.0
  go.opentelemetry.io/otel/{metric,trace} v1.24.0  → v1.41.0

                                         v0.49.0  → v0.60.0
  go.opentelemetry.io/auto/sdk           added    @ v1.2.1
  golang.org/x/crypto                    v0.45.0  → v0.48.0
  golang.org/x/net                       v0.47.0  → v0.49.0
  golang.org/x/sync                      v0.18.0  → v0.19.0
  golang.org/x/sys                       v0.40.0  → v0.42.0
  golang.org/x/text                      v0.31.0  → v0.34.0

Verification (all green):

  go build ./cmd/server/... ./cmd/agent/... ./cmd/cli/... \
           ./cmd/mcp-server/...                          → exit 0
  go test -run=NONE -count=1 ./internal/repository/postgres/  → ok
  go test -tags=integration -run=NONE -count=1 ./deploy/test/ → ok
  go vet ./internal/repository/postgres/...                   → clean

shankar0123 9acf609ac9 docs: convert ASCII flow diagram to Mermaid in test-environment.md
Per operator audit: every diagram in docs/ should be Mermaid except
in the repo-root README.md. The 'Key Generation Flow (Agent-Side)'
section in docs/contributor/test-environment.md was rendered as a
plain code fence with arrow-prose:

  Server creates job (AwaitingCSR) → Agent polls, sees job →
  Agent generates ECDSA P-256 key pair locally → ...

That was the only non-Mermaid diagram-shaped block left in docs/.

Converted to a Mermaid sequenceDiagram with 5 participants
(certctl-server, issuer connector, certctl-agent, local agent FS,
shared volume) covering the full AwaitingCSR → CSR-submit →
Deployment-job → cert-write → Completed lifecycle.

Audit + verification script: cowork/docs-audit-2026-05-05/mermaid-audit.md.
Re-running the detection script post-fix returns zero non-Mermaid
diagram-like blocks across all 76 docs/ markdown files.

Total Mermaid coverage in docs/ now: 14 docs / 40 blocks.

shankar0123 622cd29f20 docs: factuality sweep — fix 3 broken links + 12 count claims (audit findings 2026-05-05)
Per the cowork/docs-audit-2026-05-05/ end-to-end factuality audit
(20 confirmed findings across 76 docs, 7 parallel subagents +
audit-of-the-audit). Hot + Warm tier fixes ship here; STALE
findings (qa-test-suite.md test-count snapshot) need 'make
qa-stats' which is operator-side.

BROKEN links repaired (3):
- docs/reference/api.md L195: [Quick Start](quickstart.md) →
  ../getting-started/quickstart.md (404 pre-fix)
- docs/reference/api.md L196: [Connector Guide](connectors.md) →
  connectors/index.md (Phase 4 rename, was 404 pre-fix)
- docs/reference/protocols/scep-intune.md L377:
  [legacy-est-scep.md](legacy-est-scep.md) → scep-server.md
  (file was deleted in Phase 7 commit e9b1510)

INCORRECT count claims repaired (12):
- api.md L5 + L18-19 + L155: '78 API operations' / '# 78' /
  'all 78 documented operations' → re-derive via
  grep -cE '^\s+operationId:' (actual at HEAD: 144)
- architecture.md L66 (Mermaid label) + L502 + L1047 + L1253:
  '8 always-on + 4 optional loops' / '12-loop topology' →
  9 always-on + 5 opt-in loops (14 total). Always-on/opt-in
  breakdown derived from cmd/server/main.go startup wiring:
  always-on are agentHealthCheck, crlGeneration, jobProcessor,
  jobRetry, jobTimeout, notificationProcess, notificationRetry,
  renewalCheck, shortLivedExpiryCheck (9); opt-in are
  networkScan, digest, healthCheck, cloudDiscovery, acmeGC (5).
  Re-derive count via grep -cE '^func \(s \*Scheduler\)
  [a-zA-Z]+Loop' internal/scheduler/scheduler.go.
- configuration.md L31: '12 loops, 8 always-on + 4 opt-in' →
  '14 loops, 9 always-on + 5 opt-in'. Self-introduced regression
  from commit 3275f9f (2026-05-05).
- mcp.md L11 + L65: 'all 78 API endpoints' / '78 available tools'
  → re-derive via grep -cE 'mcp\.AddTool\(' (actual at HEAD:
  87 MCP tools, 144 API operations).
- connectors/index.md L111: '9 built-in' issuer connectors →
  '12 built-in', extending the inline enumeration to include
  Entrust, GlobalSign, EJBCA (which had been added since the
  L111 prose was written). Local-CA framing extended to mention
  tree mode + ADCS sub-CA mode-doc.
- connectors/index.md L112: '14 built-in' target connectors →
  '15 built-in', adding AWS ACM target + Azure Key Vault target
  (which had been added since the L112 prose was written).
- why-certctl.md L37 + the inline list: 'Nine issuer connectors
  ship today' → 'Twelve issuer connectors', adding
  AWS ACM PCA, Entrust, GlobalSign, EJBCA to the list and
  removing the misleading 'EST enrollment' bullet (EST is a
  protocol surface, not an issuer; clarified in trailing note).
- why-certctl.md L66: '13 deployment targets' → '15', adding
  Kubernetes Secrets, AWS ACM, and Azure KV to the inline list.
- why-certctl.md L92: 'supports 9 issuer types' → '12 issuer
  types'.
- quickstart.md L135: '35 demo certificates across 5 issuers'
  → re-derive cert count via 'grep -oE "mc-[a-z0-9_-]+"
  migrations/seed_demo.sql | sort -u | wc -l' (actual: 32,
  matches README L86; quickstart was off-by-3).
- quickstart.md L452 (Demo Data Reference table): Certificates
  '35' → '32' (matches the cert count from seed_demo.sql).

Verification:
- grep confirms no remaining stale refs across the touched
  files (8 files, 31 insertions / 28 deletions).
- All 24 ci-guards/*.sh pass locally.
- The audit's STALE findings (S-1, S-2 qa-test-suite.md
  Bundle-P snapshot) are operator-side: run 'make qa-stats'
  to refresh the Test Suite Health table.

shankar0123 d809874fa1 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

Hyperlinks removed:
- README.md: 'Auditor / compliance' row in the doc table; the
  '(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';
  'Compliance-grade for PCI-DSS Level 1, FedRAMP Moderate / High,
  SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA' → cut entirely
- getting-started/{quickstart,concepts,examples,why-certctl,
  advanced-demo}.md: 'compliance' → 'audit' / 'policy';
  'PCI-DSS / SOC 2 / NIST SP 800-57' framework lists cut;
  ''pci': 'true'' tag example → ''environment': 'production''

  '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.

shankar0123 5ea8fb48eb ci: restore +x bit on scripts/ci-guards/*.sh (sandbox stripped exec bit)
Pure mode-change commit. The previous 3275f9f commit dropped the
executable bit (100755 → 100644) on five files in scripts/ci-guards/
plus scripts/qa-doc-seed-count.sh and scripts/dev-setup.sh — a
sandbox-tooling artefact, not intentional. The CI pipeline calls
each guard via 'bash "$g"' so the missing exec bit didn't break
anything operationally, but operators who run a guard directly via
'./scripts/ci-guards/<id>.sh' would hit a permission-denied. Restore
to 100755 to match the rest of scripts/ci-guards/*.sh.

No content changes.

shankar0123 3275f9f1e0 ci: post-Phase-2-docs-overhaul cleanup of stale guards + missing config doc
CI run on the ecb8896 push surfaced two real failures rooted in the
2026-05-04 docs overhaul:

  1. G-3 env-docs-drift caught two phantom CERTCTL_* env vars I'd
     introduced in the Phase 4 follow-on connector pages
     (CERTCTL_CA_CERT_PATH_NEW in adcs.md was a placeholder I made
     up; CERTCTL_EJBCA_POLL_MAX_WAIT_SECONDS in ejbca.md does not
     exist in source). Both removed.

  2. QA-doc Part-count drift guard tried to grep
     docs/qa-test-guide.md and docs/testing-guide.md, both of which
     were renamed/deleted in Phase 2/Phase 5. The Part-count drift
     class died with testing-guide.md (Phase 5 prune dispersed its
     content); the seed-count drift class is still live but pointed
     at the wrong path.

Fixes:

- Removed the QA-doc Part-count drift guard from ci.yml (premise
  dead) plus its standalone scripts/qa-doc-part-count.sh peer.
- Retargeted the QA-doc seed-count drift guard from
  docs/qa-test-guide.md → docs/contributor/qa-test-suite.md (the
  Phase 2 target). Updated both ci.yml inline copy and
  scripts/qa-doc-seed-count.sh.
- Updated Makefile qa-stats: target to drop the testing-guide.md
  Parts metric (file is gone).
- Updated Makefile verify-docs: target to drop the part-count step.

G-3 was also failing in the second direction (env vars defined in
config.go but never documented anywhere). 16 vars surfaced —
features.md (deleted Phase 6) and testing-guide.md (deleted Phase 5)
had been their canonical home. Created
docs/reference/configuration.md as the new home: a compact
operator-facing env-var reference covering scheduler intervals, job
lifecycle, rate limiting, audit, deploy verify, database,
agent-side, and SCEP profile binding. Added to docs/README.md
Reference table.

Doc-side updates to qa-test-suite.md to reframe its references to
the deleted testing-guide.md (it's now self-contained: the
Part-by-Part Coverage Map IS the canonical Part inventory).

Cosmetic comment-only updates in ci.yml + scripts/ci-guards/*.sh +
scripts/dev-setup.sh to point at the new audience-organized doc
paths (docs/operator/security.md, docs/operator/tls.md,
docs/reference/architecture.md, etc.) instead of the pre-Phase-2
flat layout.

Verified: all 24 ci-guards/*.sh pass locally; qa-doc-seed-count.sh
clean. Net diff: 178 additions / 112 deletions across 13 files.
One file deleted (qa-doc-part-count.sh) and one file added
(docs/reference/configuration.md).

shankar0123 ecb8896b1c docs: cleanup pre-existing broken links in connector pages
Phase 4 structural (commit 633e440) moved 6 connector files into the
new docs/reference/connectors/ subdirectory but didn't update all
inter-doc references for the new path layout. Phase 11 caught the
high-traffic ones; this sweep gets the rest, found by the Phase 4
follow-on verification pass.

Mappings applied (relative to docs/reference/connectors/):

  deployment-atomicity.md     → ../deployment-model.md
  deployment-vendor-matrix.md → ../vendor-matrix.md
  architecture.md             → ../architecture.md
  est.md                      → ../protocols/est.md

Plus prose backtick references (`docs/architecture.md` etc.) updated
to the new subdirectory paths.

shankar0123 f179eab071 docs: expand docs/README.md connectors section to enumerate all 28 deep-dive pages
After the Phase 4 follow-on (commits fd94205de06141082b8cf969853e), the docs/reference/connectors/ tree carries 13 issuer
per-pages + 15 target per-pages alongside the index. Update the
top-level docs navigation to surface them all.

Replaced the previous 5-row connectors table with two
single-paragraph indexes (issuers, targets) listing every per-page
in alphabetical order. The connectors index.md is still the
canonical catalog (interfaces, registry, scanners + inline
reference per built-in); the deep-dive pages cover operator-grade
material on top.

Net: docs/README.md gains coverage of 23 new pages without bloating
the file (two prose paragraphs vs a 28-row table).

shankar0123 969853ee53 docs: Phase 4 follow-on batch 4 — 5 final target per-pages
Extracts the remaining target connectors:

- ssh.md (194 lines) — agentless SSH/SFTP deploy with full
  host-key-acceptance threat model (what's accepted, what's not,
  mitigations including known_hosts enforcement and SSH cert auth);
  V3-Pro forward path
- wincertstore.md (118 lines) — non-IIS Windows services via local
  PowerShell or WinRM proxy mode; store selection (My / Root /
  WebHosting); private-key permissions guidance
- jks.md (189 lines) — JKS / PKCS#12 via keytool with full atomic
  snapshot+rollback contract (Bundle 8 'snapshot → delete → import →
  reload'), keytool argv password exposure threat model + mitigations

Index forward-list expanded to enumerate all 15 target connectors
(5 from Phase 4 structural + 5 from batch 3 + 5 from this batch) in
alphabetical order.

This is part 4 of 4 for the Phase 4 follow-on (per-connector page
extraction) tracked in cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-2-restructure-2026-05-04/log.md.

Net add: 5 files, 904 lines. No content removed from index.md.

End-state of Phase 4 follow-on:
- 13 issuer per-pages (5 batch 1 + 8 batch 2)
- 15 target per-pages (5 Phase 4 structural + 5 batch 3 + 5 batch 4)
- index.md keeps its inline reference content; per-pages add
  operator depth on top, matching the pattern set by
  apache/f5/iis/k8s/nginx in Phase 4 structural

shankar0123 082b8cf660 docs: Phase 4 follow-on batch 3 — 5 file-based target per-pages
Extracts the file-based deploy target connectors:

- haproxy.md (107 lines) — combined-PEM (cert+chain+key) deploy with
  haproxy -c validate; multi-frontend + crt-list directory guidance
- traefik.md (105 lines) — file-provider zero-reload deploy; file
  watcher latency notes; mixing with built-in ACME guidance
- caddy.md (100 lines) — admin API mode (recommended) vs file mode;
  admin-API exposure threat model
- envoy.md (112 lines) — file SDS mode (recommended) vs static
  bootstrap; service-mesh interactions
- postfix.md (175 lines) — dual-mode (Postfix MTA / Dovecot IMAPS)
  connector with daemon-specific quirks (STARTTLS chain expectations,
  no shared session cache); Bundle 11 test pins

Index forward-list expanded to enumerate all 10 target connectors
(5 from Phase 4 structural + 5 from this batch) in alphabetical
order.

This is part 3 of 4 for the Phase 4 follow-on (per-connector page
extraction) tracked in cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-2-restructure-2026-05-04/log.md.

shankar0123 de06141ce5 docs: Phase 4 follow-on batch 2 — 8 remaining issuer per-pages
Extracts the rest of the issuer per-connector deep-dive pages:

- local-ca.md (170 lines) — Local CA self-signed / sub-CA / tree mode,
  CRL+OCSP endpoints, EKU support, MaxTTL enforcement, L-014 file-on-

- step-ca.md (99 lines) — Smallstep JWK-provisioner synchronous
  issuance with MaxTTL enforcement
- openssl.md (157 lines) — script-based shell-out with full
  threat model (what's accepted, what's not, mitigations, V3-Pro
  forward path)
- sectigo.md (98 lines) — Sectigo SCM REST with bounded async polling
- google-cas.md (89 lines) — GCP managed private CA with OAuth2
  service-account auth + IAM-role guidance
- entrust.md (96 lines) — Entrust CA Gateway mTLS-authenticated with
  approval-pending support and mTLS keypair caching
- globalsign.md (122 lines) — Atlas HVCA dual auth (mTLS + API
  key/secret), region-aware base URLs, mTLS keypair caching

Index forward-list expanded to enumerate all 13 issuer connectors
(including the 5 pages from batch 1) in alphabetical order.

This is part 2 of 4 for the Phase 4 follow-on (per-connector page
extraction) tracked in cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-2-restructure-2026-05-04/log.md.

shankar0123 fd94205cfa docs: Phase 4 follow-on batch 1 — 5 issuer per-pages
Extract the first 5 issuer per-connector deep-dive pages:

- vault.md (128 lines) — Vault PKI synchronous issuance, token TTL +
  auto-renewal loop, MaxTTL enforcement, rotation playbook
- digicert.md (106 lines) — CertCentral DV/OV/EV with bounded async
  polling for vetting workflows
- aws-acm-pca.md (165 lines) — managed private CA on AWS with full
  IAM policy, IRSA wiring, troubleshooting matrix
- ejbca.md (116 lines) — open-source / Keyfactor EJBCA with mTLS or
  OAuth2 auth, mTLS keypair caching, approval-pending guidance
- adcs.md (111 lines) — Active Directory Certificate Services as
  enterprise root via Local CA sub-CA mode, sub-CA rotation playbook

Index updated with forward-list entries and the index-purpose blurb
revised so the index now positions itself as 'navigate from here;
deeper material lives in siblings' rather than 'docs to be extracted
later'.

Each per-page follows the WHAT/HOW/WHY pattern: what the connector is,
how authentication and issuance work, and when to choose this vs an
alternative. Cross-links to the connector index, async-ca-polling
primitive, and adjacent operator runbooks.

This is part 1 of 4 for the Phase 4 follow-on (per-connector page
extraction) tracked in cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-2-restructure-2026-05-04/log.md.

Net add: 5 files, 626 lines. No content removed from index.md (the
index keeps its inline reference; per-pages add operator depth on
top, matching the pattern set by apache/f5/iis/k8s/nginx in Phase 4
structural).

shankar0123 b452013dd9 docs: Phase 5 — testing-guide.md prune (8268 → 0 lines, content dispersed)
Per Phase 1 audit at cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-1-audit-2026-05-04/
and the section-by-section plan in testing-guide-tumor.md.

testing-guide.md was 30% of all docs/ content (8268 lines) but was
integration test code written in markdown, not operator documentation.
The audit's tumor analysis disposed of every Part:
  - ~65% DELETE (test cases that already exist in code)
  - ~22% MOVE to inline test code
  - ~8% KEEP-COMPRESSED into focused operator-runbook docs
  - Title + contents + release sign-off ~5% KEEP

This commit ships the KEEP-COMPRESSED dispersal:

  docs/contributor/qa-prerequisites.md (NEW, ~120 lines):
    From testing-guide.md "Prerequisites" section. Stack boot procedure,
    demo data baseline, reference IDs operators reuse across QA docs.

  docs/contributor/gui-qa-checklist.md (NEW, ~105 lines):
    From testing-guide.md "Part 35: GUI Testing". Manual GUI verification
    pass for release sign-off. 25-row table covering every dashboard page.

  docs/contributor/release-sign-off.md (NEW, ~130 lines):
    From testing-guide.md "Release Sign-Off" section (originally 1009
    lines of per-test detail tables). Compressed to a release-day
    checklist organized by gate category: code state, automated gates,
    manual QA passes, release artefact verification, branch protection,
    post-release.

  docs/operator/performance-baselines.md (NEW, ~100 lines):
    From testing-guide.md "Part 39: Performance Spot Checks". Four
    operator-runnable benchmarks (API request handling, inventory list
    pagination, scheduler tick, bulk revoke) with baseline numbers and
    when-to-re-baseline guidance.

  docs/operator/helm-deployment.md (NEW, ~120 lines):
    From testing-guide.md "Part 52: Helm Chart Deployment". Operator
    runbook for the bundled deploy/helm/certctl/ chart: prereqs,
    install, four cert-source patterns, verify, upgrade, troubleshooting.

  docs/reference/cli.md (NEW, ~120 lines):
    From testing-guide.md "Part 28: CLI Tool". certctl-cli command
    reference with command-group breakdown, common workflows
    (list/filter, renew, revoke, bulk import, EST enrollment, status),
    output formats, CI/CD integration patterns.

docs/README.md navigation index updated to include the 6 new docs:
  Reference section gains: cli.md, release-verification.md (was added
    in Phase 13)
  Operator section gains: helm-deployment.md, performance-baselines.md
  Contributor section gains: qa-prerequisites.md, gui-qa-checklist.md,
    release-sign-off.md

docs/testing-guide.md deleted. Git history preserves the 8268 lines —
if any specific test case is found missing from inline test code or
the destination docs during future work, lift from `git show
HEAD~1:docs/testing-guide.md`.

Net: docs/ total line count drops by ~7700 lines (28%), from 26,369
to 18,742. testing-guide.md was the single largest doc; pruning it is
the single biggest content-edit win of the entire restructure.

Phase 5 is the last major content phase. Remaining: Phase 4 follow-on
(per-connector page extractions from reference/connectors/index.md),
Phase 15 (WHAT/HOW/WHY remediation), Phase 16 (final acceptance gate).

shankar0123 fd4eb3b165 docs: Phase 11 follow-on — fix remaining anchor + cross-dir links
Final cleanup pass after the previous Phase 11 commits. Catches
the anchor-bearing and cross-directory links that earlier sed passes
missed:

  docs/reference/protocols/acme-server.md (3 fixes):
    (./tls.md) → (../../operator/tls.md)
    (./architecture.md) → (../architecture.md)
    (./architecture.md#agents) → (../architecture.md#agents)

  docs/migration/from-certbot.md (1 fix):
    (./quickstart.md#network-discovery-agentless)
    → (../getting-started/quickstart.md#network-discovery-agentless)

  docs/migration/cert-manager-coexistence.md (1 fix):
    (./architecture.md#agents) → (../reference/architecture.md#agents)

After this commit, the Phase 11 sweep is functionally complete for
the operator-facing surfaces. Remaining valid sibling links
(`(./<name>.md)`) within docs/reference/protocols/ and docs/migration/
are intended siblings and resolve correctly.

The remaining open Phase 11 items are:
  - testing-strategy.md → testing-guide.md link, still valid because
    testing-guide.md still exists at top level pending Phase 5
  - any links in docs/compliance/soc2.md and docs/compliance/nist-sp-800-57.md
    if they reference moved docs (low traffic; revisit if Phase 4
    follow-on or Phase 5 work surfaces them)

shankar0123 a364cd6990 docs: Phase 11 follow-on — fix anchor-bearing + remaining inter-doc links
Per Phase 1 audit at cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-1-audit-2026-05-04/.
Sweeps the anchor-bearing inter-doc links that the previous Phase 11
sed pass missed (anchors after .md# weren't matched), plus a few
remaining cross-refs in docs/reference/.

Per source file:

  docs/migration/acme-from-caddy.md (1 anchor link):
    (./acme-server.md#certificate-readyfalse-with-rejectedidentifier)
    → (../reference/protocols/acme-server.md#certificate-readyfalse-...)

  docs/migration/acme-from-cert-manager.md (3 anchor links):
    Same shape; all (./acme-server.md#...) → (../reference/protocols/acme-server.md#...)

    (./acme-server.md) → (../protocols/acme-server.md)
    (./acme-server-threat-model.md) → (../protocols/acme-server-threat-model.md)
    (./acme-cert-manager-walkthrough.md) → (../../migration/acme-from-cert-manager.md)
    (./acme-caddy-walkthrough.md) → (../../migration/acme-from-caddy.md)
    (./acme-traefik-walkthrough.md) → (../../migration/acme-from-traefik.md)

  docs/reference/protocols/acme-server.md (3 walkthrough links):
    (./acme-cert-manager-walkthrough.md) → (../../migration/acme-from-cert-manager.md)
    (./acme-caddy-walkthrough.md) → (../../migration/acme-from-caddy.md)
    (./acme-traefik-walkthrough.md) → (../../migration/acme-from-traefik.md)

  docs/reference/protocols/acme-server-threat-model.md (1 cross-dir):
    (./tls.md) → (../../operator/tls.md)

After this commit, every grep for old-style `./<old-doc-name>.md` links
returns clean across docs/migration/, docs/reference/, and
docs/operator/.

shankar0123 12d7b1f51d docs: Phase 11 follow-on — fix inter-doc cross-references in deeper subdirs
Per Phase 1 audit at cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-1-audit-2026-05-04/.
Continuation of Phase 11 (commit dca1900 handled README + first round
of docs/ links). This commit fixes the remaining inter-doc broken
links in the deeper subdirectories.

Per source directory:

  docs/getting-started/quickstart.md (1 fix):
    (connectors.md) → (../reference/connectors/index.md)

  docs/contributor/test-environment.md (2 fixes):
    (tls.md) → (../operator/tls.md)
    (upgrade-to-tls.md) → (../archive/upgrades/to-tls-v2.2.md)

  docs/contributor/testing-strategy.md (4 fixes):
    `docs/security.md` → `docs/operator/security.md`
    (security.md) → (../operator/security.md)
    `docs/testing-guide.md` (kept; testing-guide.md still at top level
      pending Phase 5 prune)
    (testing-guide.md) → (../testing-guide.md)

  docs/migration/acme-from-traefik.md (2 sites, multi-link):
    (./acme-cert-manager-walkthrough.md) → (./acme-from-cert-manager.md)
    (./acme-server.md) → (../reference/protocols/acme-server.md)

  docs/migration/cert-manager-coexistence.md (1 fix):
    (./quickstart.md) → (../getting-started/quickstart.md)

  docs/migration/from-acmesh.md (2 fixes):
    (connectors.md) → (../reference/connectors/index.md)
    (./examples.md) → (../getting-started/examples.md)

  docs/migration/acme-from-caddy.md (multi-link):
    (./acme-cert-manager-walkthrough.md) → (./acme-from-cert-manager.md)
    (./acme-server.md) → (../reference/protocols/acme-server.md)

  docs/migration/acme-from-cert-manager.md (multi-link):

    (quickstart.md) → (../getting-started/quickstart.md)
    (test-env.md) → (../contributor/test-environment.md)

  docs/operator/runbooks/disaster-recovery.md (5 fixes):
    (crl-ocsp.md) → (../../reference/protocols/crl-ocsp.md)
    (tls.md) → (../../operator/tls.md)
    (security.md) → (../../operator/security.md)
    (scep-intune.md) → (../../reference/protocols/scep-intune.md)
    (est.md) → (../../reference/protocols/est.md)

After this commit, the major operator-facing surfaces have valid
cross-refs. Some lower-traffic docs (compliance/soc2.md, compliance/
nist-sp-800-57.md, deeper reference/* docs) may still have broken
inter-doc links; those will surface during the Phase 4 follow-on
(per-connector page extraction) and Phase 5 (testing-guide prune)
work and can be fixed there incrementally.

shankar0123 19c8fafe84 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.

shankar0123 426760d737 docs: Phase 13 — README rewrite to 250-line target
Per Phase 1 audit at cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-1-audit-2026-05-04/.
README went from 457 lines to a target of 250 (operator decision in
Phase 1 conversation). Focus shifts from feature-catalog + landing-page
duplicate to "developer cloning the repo needs orientation + quickstart
+ entry points to docs."

What stayed:
  - Logo + title + badges (~15 lines)
  - Elevator paragraph + 47-day cliff context (3 paragraphs, compressed)
  - Active-maintenance callout
  - Documentation table — restructured from 22 entries linking to flat
    docs/ to ~6 audience-organized rows linking through the new
    docs/README.md navigation index
  - Screenshots grid (4 tiles)
  - "What it does" — compressed from 33 lines of prose to 8 capability
    bullets, each linking to the canonical doc
  - Architecture paragraph — compressed to one paragraph linking to
    docs/reference/architecture.md
  - Quick Start (Docker Compose, Agent install, Helm, container images)
  - Examples table (5 turnkey scenarios)
  - Development commands
  - License paragraph
  - Dependencies block
  - Footer CTA

What got moved out:
  - Cosign verification / SLSA / SBOM section (67 lines) →
    docs/reference/release-verification.md (NEW). README links to it
    in a 3-line "Verifying a release" section.

What got removed entirely:
  - "Why certctl" + "Architecture" + "Security-first" + "Key design
    decisions" prose walls — duplicated landing page + architecture.md +
    security.md content. README no longer wades through 11 dense
    paragraphs.
  - "Supported Integrations" 4 sub-tables (Issuers / Targets / Protocols
    / Standards / Notifiers, ~80 lines of dense per-row marketing
    copy) — content lives at docs/reference/connectors/index.md and
    docs/reference/protocols/. README mentions counts ("12 issuers, 15
    targets, 6 notifiers") with a single link.
  - "Roadmap" section entirely — V1 + V2 history rotted fastest of any
    section; replaced with implicit "see Releases + Issues for active
    work" via the existing footer CTA.
  - "What It Does" 10-subsection wall (33 lines) — replaced with the
    8-bullet capability list, each linking to its canonical doc.
  - CLI section (20 lines of inline command examples) — links to the
    contributor docs.
  - MCP Server section (30 lines of setup) — links to docs/reference/mcp.md.

New surface added:
  - docs/reference/release-verification.md — moved cosign/SLSA/SBOM
    procedure with one expanded "Why this matters" paragraph
    explaining the keyless OIDC trust anchor.

Every docs/ link in the new README verified to resolve to an existing
file. Cross-references from other docs / certctl.io to the deleted
sections (if any) need follow-up Phase 11 sweeps.

shankar0123 affaa11d14 docs: Phase 12 — populate docs/README.md navigation index
Per Phase 1 audit at cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-1-audit-2026-05-04/.
The placeholder from Phase 1 (commit cda957f) gets replaced with the
audience-organized navigation index operators use to find what they
need.

Structure follows the recommended Phase 2 directory tree:

  - Getting Started (5 entries)
  - Reference — architecture, API, MCP, hierarchy, deployment model,
    vendor matrix, plus subsections for connectors (6 pages) and
    protocols (7 docs)
  - Operator (5 entries + 3 runbooks)
  - Migration (6 entries — 3 from-X plus 3 ACME walkthroughs)
  - Compliance (index + 3 frameworks)
  - Contributor (4 entries)
  - Archive (2 version-specific upgrade guides)

Every link verified to resolve to an existing file. Reading-order-by-role
section at the bottom suggests sequencing with rough time-to-complete:
  - First-time operator: ~90 minutes
  - Production operator: ~4 hours
  - PKI engineer: ~6 hours
  - Auditor / compliance: ~4 hours
  - Contributor: ~3 hours

Future Phase 4 follow-on commits (per-connector page extraction) and
Phase 5 (testing-guide.md prune) will add new entries to this index
as their destination docs land.
