shankar0123 f7fcd1e187 docs(observability): DEPL-006 follow-up — document CERTCTL_OTEL_ENABLED (G-3 ci-guard)
Sprint 6 ACQ DEPL-006 closure follow-up. The G-3-env-docs-drift
ci-guard scans `internal/` + `cmd/` for every CERTCTL_*
env-var reference and cross-checks against README + docs/ +
deploy/helm/ + deploy/ENVIRONMENTS.md. The OTel-seed commit
(35277c0) introduced `CERTCTL_OTEL_ENABLED` in
`internal/config/config.go` + `cmd/server/main.go` but didn't
add the matching doc entry, so the guard caught the drift on
the next CI run with:

  G-3 regression: env var(s) defined in Go source but never documented:
  CERTCTL_OTEL_ENABLED

Replaces the existing "Tracing — explicitly not yet shipped"
subsection in docs/operator/observability.md with an honest
"Tracing — OTLP surface available, instrumentation pending"
section that:

- Documents the env var + the standard OTEL_* env vars the SDK
  honors (OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT, OTEL_SERVICE_NAME, etc.).
- Explains the OTLP/HTTP transport choice (vs gRPC) per the
  rationale in internal/observability/otel.go's header.
- Pins what the current release DOES (surface + lazy connect +
  graceful shutdown) vs DOES NOT (per-handler / per-DB /
  per-connector spans).
- Notes the no-op-shutdown contract so operators can defer
  unconditionally.
- Cross-references the existing request_id correlation + per-
  issuer Prometheus histogram as the interim correlation surface.
- Repoints the "future work" tracker from the old "v3 item"
  framing to WORKSPACE-ROADMAP.md §2 (Phase 4 in the path-b
  build plan).

Verified locally: `bash scripts/ci-guards/G-3-env-docs-drift.sh`
exits 0 ("G-3 env-docs-drift: clean").

shankar0123 a41fc2d75c feat(ratelimit): Phase 13 Sprint 13.3 — wire backend selector + scheduler janitor + docs + helm (ARCH-M1 closure complete)
Phase 13 Sprint 13.3 — the completion half of the ARCH-M1
substantive close. Sprint 13.2 shipped the Postgres-backed
sliding-window limiter + multi-replica integration test; Sprint 13.3
wires the 6 call sites in cmd/server/main.go through the operator-
chosen backend selector, adds the rate_limit_buckets scheduler
janitor sweep, rewrites the observability doc, exposes the env-var
in the helm chart, and promotes the multi-replica integration test
to a required CI status check.

Signature ground-truth (sprint 13.2 + 13.3)
===========================================
Prompt-template signatures: `Allow(key string) error` and "5 call
sites." Actual repo: `Allow(key string, now time.Time) error` and 6
NewSlidingWindowLimiter call sites in cmd/server/main.go (the prompt
miscounted the second EST per-principal arm). Per CLAUDE.md "the repo
is truth," matched the live shape.

What changed
============

internal/config/server.go (+40 LOC):
  - Added `SlidingWindowBackend string` + `SlidingWindowJanitorInterval
    time.Duration` to RateLimitConfig with full operator-facing
    documentation of the two valid values (memory|postgres) +
    when-to-use-which decision tree.

internal/config/config.go (+27 LOC):
  - Load() reads CERTCTL_RATE_LIMIT_BACKEND (default "memory") +
    CERTCTL_RATE_LIMIT_JANITOR_INTERVAL (default 5m).
  - Validate() rejects anything other than ""/"memory"/"postgres"
    (empty = memory equivalence for test-built Configs that bypass
    Load()). Janitor interval must be ≥ 1 minute when set.
  - Failure modes return clear ::error:: with the env-var name + the
    valid values, so an operator typo ("postgress" → memory in a
    3-replica cluster) fails fast at startup.

internal/ratelimit/factory.go (NEW, 67 LOC):
  - NewLimiter(backend, db, maxN, window, mapCap) Limiter — single
    factory the 6 cmd/server/main.go call sites route through.
  - Drop-in signature: same maxN/window/mapCap as
    NewSlidingWindowLimiter (mapCap accepted + ignored for postgres
    — the rate_limit_buckets table grows until the janitor sweeps).
  - Defensive panic on unknown backend (config.Validate is SoT;
    this is belt-and-suspenders).

internal/ratelimit/postgres_gc.go (NEW, 73 LOC):
  - PostgresGC struct + NewPostgresGC + GarbageCollect.
  - Single-statement DELETE FROM rate_limit_buckets WHERE
    updated_at < NOW() - maxWindow. Idempotent.
  - maxWindow <= 0 is a no-op (operator opt-out).

internal/scheduler/scheduler.go (+90 LOC):
  - New RateLimitGarbageCollector interface (mirrors the
    ACMEGarbageCollector / SessionGarbageCollector contracts).
  - rateLimitGC field + rateLimitGCInterval + rateLimitGCRunning
    on Scheduler.
  - SetRateLimitGarbageCollector(gc) + SetRateLimitGCInterval(d)
    Setters following the existing acmeGC/sessionGC pattern.
  - rateLimitGCLoop() — JitteredTicker + atomic.Bool guard +
    per-tick context.WithTimeout(1m). Logs row count at Debug.
  - Loop counted in the Start() WaitGroup only when the GC is
    non-nil; cmd/server/main.go skips SetRateLimitGarbageCollector
    when backend=memory so the loop never launches for that case.

cmd/server/main.go (35 LOC diff):
  - All 6 ratelimit.NewSlidingWindowLimiter call sites now route
    through ratelimit.NewLimiter(cfg.RateLimit.SlidingWindowBackend,
    db, ...). Grep verification post-fix returns ZERO hits.
  - Six sites: breakglass loginLimiter (580), ocspLimiter (1003),
    exportLimiter (1068), EST failed-basic (1535), EST per-principal
    SCEP-mTLS arm (1591), EST per-principal SCEP arm (1613). The
    intune.NewPerDeviceRateLimiter site at line 1823 stays unmoved
    — its inner type-alias wrapper is the prompt's
    out-of-scope (cmd/server/*.go only).
  - Conditionally constructs PostgresGC + wires the scheduler janitor
    when backend=postgres; logs the wiring decision either way so
    operators see "rate-limit GC sweep enabled (postgres backend)"
    or "in-memory backend self-prunes" in the boot log.

internal/api/handler/{est,export,certificates,auth_breakglass}.go:
  - Replaced 5 *ratelimit.SlidingWindowLimiter field/Setter types
    with ratelimit.Limiter (the interface). Allow() satisfies the
    same call shape on both backends; the in-memory tests that
    construct *SlidingWindowLimiter still compile because the
    concrete type satisfies the interface (compile-time check in
    internal/ratelimit/limiter.go pins this).

docs/operator/observability.md (176 LOC diff):
  - Replaced the "per-process, in-memory, reset-on-restart, not
    shared across replicas" paragraph with the new
    configurable-backend section: operator decision tree,
    backend internals (memory vs postgres), janitor description,
    falsifiable closure proof (the Sprint 13.2 integration test
    name + invocation), helm chart wiring example.
  - Updated inventory to reflect the actual handler file paths +
    actual cap configurations (the prior doc said "60s window" for
    several limiters that actually use 60m / 24h windows).
  - Doc smoke confirmed: grep -c 'per-process, in-memory,
    reset-on-restart' docs/operator/observability.md = 0.

deploy/helm/certctl/values.yaml + templates/server-configmap.yaml +
templates/server-deployment.yaml:
  - Exposed server.rateLimiting.backend (default "memory") +
    server.rateLimiting.janitorInterval (default "5m") under the
    existing rateLimiting block.
  - ConfigMap renders both as rate-limit-backend +
    rate-limit-janitor-interval keys.
  - Deployment wires CERTCTL_RATE_LIMIT_BACKEND +
    CERTCTL_RATE_LIMIT_JANITOR_INTERVAL env vars from the configmap.
  - Helm render: `helm template deploy/helm/certctl --set
    server.rateLimiting.backend=postgres` shows the env-var on the
    server-deployment.yaml output.

.github/workflows/ci.yml (+12 LOC):
  - Added a new step in the Go Build & Test job that runs the
    Sprint 13.2 multi-replica integration test
    (TestRateLimit_PostgresBackend_CapEnforcedAcrossReplicas) with
    -tags=integration -race -timeout=300s. Fails the CI status check
    if the cross-replica row lock ever stops arbitrating across
    replicas — the ARCH-M1 closure regression gate.

Verification (all green locally; postgres integration via CI)
============================================================

  $ grep -nE 'NewSlidingWindowLimiter' cmd/server/*.go

    G-3 env-docs-drift: clean.

  $ bash scripts/ci-guards/complete-path-config-coverage.sh
    OK — every CERTCTL_* env var (197) has at least one non-config-
    package consumer.

Selector contract verified — config.Validate() rejects any value
other than ""/memory/postgres at startup with a clear error message.

Sprint 13.4 next (ARCH-H1 OpenAPI authoring batch 1) is on a
different axis; ARCH-M1 closure is complete with this commit
modulo the Sprint 13.7 audit-HTML flip + zero-floor pin.

Closes: ARCH-M1 substantive remediation. The cross-replica rate-
limit-cap-enforcement gap that the audit recommended deferring to
v3 is closed; operators with server.replicas > 1 flip
CERTCTL_RATE_LIMIT_BACKEND=postgres and get exactly-cap enforcement
across the cluster (proved by the multi-replica integration test now
gating CI).

shankar0123 57b539c378 docs(b12): observability reference + Postgres backup runbook
Closes acquisition-diligence Bundle 12 — Observability, DR,
Operations Receipts, And Performance Proof. Source IDs: D5, D6, D8,
T9, finding 7, OPS-H1, OPS-M1, OPS-M2, LOW-7.

Two new operator-facing references; both non-audit-framed per the
Bundle 5 doc-placement policy.

docs/operator/observability.md — single canonical statement of what
certctl emits, what it doesn't, and what survives a restart:
  - Metrics surface: both /api/v1/metrics (JSON) and
    /api/v1/metrics/prometheus (text exposition v0.0.4); inventory of
    certctl_certificate_* gauges + certctl_issuance_duration_seconds
    per-issuer-type histogram + certctl_uptime_seconds.
  - Prometheus library vs hand-rolled exposition: explicit scope
    statement — hand-rolled fmt.Fprintf is intentional for v2.x given
    the shallow metric surface; client_golang migration tracked as
    v3 item (closes OPS-M1).
  - Tracing: explicit deferral — no OTel SDK setup, OTel packages
    are indirect-only in go.mod, no spans, no OTLP exporter; tracked
    as v3 item; in the meantime structured logs carry request_id and
    certctl_issuance_duration_seconds carries the per-issuer latency
    signal (closes OPS-M2).
  - Logging: structured JSON via log/slog; CERTCTL_LOG_LEVEL control;
    no key material / bearer tokens / session cookies in log lines.
  - Rate-limit semantics under restarts + replicas: per-process,
    in-memory, reset-on-restart, NOT shared across replicas; full
    inventory of the 5 limiter call sites (break-glass login,
    SCEP/Intune per-device, EST per-principal CSR, EST HTTP-Basic
    source-IP, ACME per-account); multi-replica + sticky-session
    implications; database-backed sliding window deferred to v3
    (closes D8).
  - Performance harness scope: cross-references the explicit
    'What it explicitly does NOT measure' list in
    deploy/test/loadtest/README.md (closes LOW-7 + finding 7).

docs/operator/runbooks/postgres-backup.md — operator-runnable
backup procedure:
  - Inventory of what to back up (DB + operator-managed file
    material that lives outside the DB: CA keys, RA keys, OCSP
    responder keys, trust bundles).
  - Logical backup recipe with docker-compose + Kubernetes variants,
    integrity verification step, off-host storage step.
  - Physical / PITR recipe pointing at pgbackrest / wal-g
    (certctl ships nothing here — standard PostgreSQL DBA work).
  - Three sample automation paths (in-cluster Postgres → S3 CronJob,
    managed Postgres PITR, self-hosted VM systemd timer + restic).
  - Quarterly restore-dry-run procedure.
  - Helm CronJob template deliberately not shipped — three
    documented reasons (deployment topology / secret-management
    integration / off-host storage all vary by operator) plus
    roadmap entry for shipping a starter template when a real
    operator asks for one (closes D6 + OPS-H1).

Both new docs wired into docs/README.md Operator + Runbooks tables.

D5 (ServiceMonitor) and T9 (canonical k6 load-test) were already
shipped in Bundle 3 (deploy/helm/certctl/templates/servicemonitor.yaml)
and in deploy/test/loadtest/ + .github/workflows/loadtest.yml
respectively; this bundle doesn't touch them — it just records the
closure in the audit HTML.

Verified:
  bash scripts/ci-guards/G-3-env-docs-drift.sh    # PASS
  bash scripts/ci-guards/doc-rot-detector.sh      # PASS
  All 35 scripts/ci-guards/*.sh green.
