Operator decision answered as full soft-delete with optional forced
cascade — hard-delete is not reachable from any public surface. Prior
to this commit, DELETE /agents/{id} ran a plain `DELETE FROM agents`
whose schema-level `ON DELETE CASCADE` on deployment_targets.agent_id
silently wiped every target, orphaning certs and aborting in-flight
jobs. The finding closure reshapes the agent-removal contract around
soft retirement with explicit preflight counts, an opt-in cascade
gated by a mandatory reason, and unconditional protection for the
four reserved sentinel agents used by discovery sources.
Schema — migration 000015:
migrations/000015_agent_retire.up.sql flips
deployment_targets_agent_id_fkey from ON DELETE CASCADE to ON DELETE
RESTRICT, so a stray `DELETE FROM agents` now errors at the DB
boundary instead of quietly destroying targets. Both `agents` and
`deployment_targets` grow a retired_at TIMESTAMPTZ + retired_reason
TEXT pair (TEXT not VARCHAR so operator comments are never
truncated), indexed via partial indexes WHERE retired_at IS NOT
NULL. The migration is self-healing (ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS, DROP
CONSTRAINT IF EXISTS then ADD CONSTRAINT, CREATE INDEX IF NOT
EXISTS) so repeated runs against partially-migrated databases
converge. migrations/000015_agent_retire.down.sql restores CASCADE
and drops the new columns for clean rollback. A dedicated
repository-layer testcontainers test
(internal/repository/postgres/migration_000015_test.go) asserts the
before/after FK action, column presence, index presence, and
round-trip idempotency under up→down→up.
Domain — sentinel guard + dependency counts:
internal/domain/connector.go gains IsRetired() on Agent, the
exported SentinelAgentIDs slice listing server-scanner,
cloud-aws-sm, cloud-azure-kv, cloud-gcp-sm verbatim (matching the
four reserved IDs documented in CLAUDE.md and created at startup in
cmd/server/main.go), IsSentinelAgent(id string) predicate,
AgentDependencyCounts{ActiveTargets, ActiveCertificates,
PendingJobs} with a HasDependencies() method, and ActorTypeAgent /
ActorTypeSystem enum values used by audit emission downstream.
Coverage locked down by internal/domain/connector_test.go.
Service — 8-step ordered contract:
internal/service/agent_retire.go:RetireAgent(ctx, id, actor,
opts{Force, Reason}) enforces a fixed execution order:
(1) sentinel guard — IsSentinelAgent(id) returns ErrAgentIsSentinel
unconditionally; force=true does NOT bypass it.
(2) fetch — ErrAgentNotFound on miss.
(3) idempotency — if IsRetired() already, return
AgentRetirementResult{AlreadyRetired: true} with no new audit
event and no state change (safe to replay from flaky clients).
(4) preflight counts — collectAgentDependencyCounts runs
ActiveTargets, ActiveCertificates, PendingJobs sequentially
(not in parallel; keeps the per-query timeout predictable and
matches the repo's existing call-chain shape).
(5) force-reason guard — opts.Force=true with empty Reason returns
ErrForceReasonRequired (wired into the 400 status surface).
(6) dependency guard — HasDependencies() with opts.Force=false
returns BlockedByDependenciesError{Counts} (wired into the 409
body with per-bucket counts).
(7) mutation — single pinned retiredAt := time.Now(); agent
retirement first, then cascade target retirement if opts.Force,
all under the repo's single transaction so the two retired_at
stamps match to the second.
(8) best-effort audit — agent_retired always; agent_retirement_
cascaded additionally on the force path. Actor is whatever the
handler resolves from the request; actor type is mapped by
resolveActorType (system/agent-prefix→Agent/else→User). Audit
emission failures are logged via slog.Error but do not abort
the retirement (matches the house convention used by every
other scheduler-emitted event).
BlockedByDependenciesError implements Error() as
"active_targets=%d, active_certificates=%d, pending_jobs=%d" and
Unwrap() → ErrBlockedByDependencies. The single struct satisfies
errors.Is via Unwrap (used by scheduler-level tests) and errors.As
via the concrete type (used by the handler to fish out Counts for
the 409 body). ListRetiredAgents(page, perPage) adds a separate
paginated accessor with page<1→1 and perPage<1→50 normalization so
retired rows are queryable without polluting the default agent
listing.
Sentinel guard coverage is asymmetric by design: all four reserved
IDs are protected, and force=true cannot override. Regression tests
in internal/service/agent_retire_test.go assert each of the eight
steps in order, plus sentinel bypass attempts and idempotency
replay.
Handler + router — status-code surface:
internal/api/handler/agents.go:RetireAgent exposes seven status
codes on DELETE /agents/{id}:
200 on a fresh retirement (body echoes AgentRetirementResult).
204 on idempotent replay (AlreadyRetired=true; no new audit).
400 on ErrForceReasonRequired.
403 on ErrAgentIsSentinel.
404 on ErrAgentNotFound.
409 on BlockedByDependenciesError, with a custom body shape
{error, counts{active_targets, active_certificates,
pending_jobs}} that bypasses the default ErrorWithRequestID
envelope so callers get the per-bucket numbers directly.
500 on any other error.
Heartbeat HandleHeartbeat returns 410 Gone when the agent is
retired (ErrAgentRetired), signalling the agent to shut down.
Query params `force=true` and `reason=<text>` drive the cascade
path; both are forwarded as url.Values through the new MCP
transport.
internal/api/router/router.go registers GET /api/v1/agents/retired
literal-path BEFORE /api/v1/agents/{id} — Go 1.22 ServeMux's
literal-beats-pattern-var precedence routes "retired" to the
paginated retired-agents listing instead of fetching a hypothetical
agent named "retired".
Agent binary — clean shutdown on 410:
cmd/agent/main.go gains the ErrAgentRetired sentinel, a
retiredOnce sync.Once, and a retiredSignal chan struct{}. A
markRetired(source, statusCode, body) helper closes the channel
exactly once; the Run() select loop observes the close and returns
ErrAgentRetired; main() matches via errors.Is(err, ErrAgentRetired)
and exits cleanly instead of spinning in the heartbeat retry loop.
The 410 Gone surface is therefore terminal for the agent process.
MCP transport:
internal/mcp/client.go adds Client.DeleteWithQuery(path, query),
a new additive transport method. Client.Delete is path-only; without
this method the retire tool would silently drop `force` and `reason`,
turning every cascade retire into a default soft-retire. The new
method shares do()'s 204 normalization and 4xx/5xx error
propagation so tool authors get one contract.
internal/mcp/tools.go + internal/mcp/types.go expose the
retire_agent tool with Force+Reason inputs wired through
DeleteWithQuery.
CLI:
cmd/cli/main.go + internal/cli/client.go add two CLI surfaces:
`agents list --retired` (client-side strip of --retired then
delegation to ListRetiredAgents, sharing --page/--per-page parsing
with the default listing) and `agents retire <id> [--force --reason
"…"]` (mirrors ErrForceReasonRequired — force without reason is
rejected client-side before the request is sent). JSON + table
output modes both honor the new columns.
Frontend:
web/src/pages/AgentsPage.tsx surfaces retired/retire affordances.
web/src/api/client.ts + web/src/api/types.ts expose the retire
endpoint and the retired-listing. 4 new Vitest regression cases.
OpenAPI:
api/openapi.yaml documents DELETE /agents/{id} with all seven
status codes, 410 on heartbeat, and the 409 per-bucket body shape.

D-008 was a three-part drift in the policy engine that made the
D-005/D-006 remediation cosmetic below the DB layer:
(a) migrations/seed.sql INSERTed rules with pre-D-005 lowercase
types ('ownership', 'environment', 'lifetime', 'renewal_window')
that the handler validator rejects on Create/Update but that
raw SQL INSERTs bypassed entirely. At runtime evaluateRule's
switch fell through to the default "unknown policy rule type"
error branch on every demo rule × every cert × every cycle,
flooding logs while emitting zero violations.
(b) migrations/seed_demo.sql persisted lowercase severity values
('critical', 'error', 'warning') on policy_violations rows.
INSERT succeeded because that column had no CHECK, but any
frontend comparing against the canonical PolicySeverity enum
mis-categorized every seeded violation.
(c) evaluateRule hardcoded Severity: PolicySeverityWarning on
every emitted violation and ignored rule.Config entirely —
so the D-006 per-rule severity column (000013) and every
per-arm Config JSON ({allowed_issuer_ids, allowed_domains,
required_keys, allowed, lead_time_days, max_days}) was dead
data below the evaluation layer.
This commit lands (a)+(b)+(c) atomically. Shipping any subset
leaves the feature half-working.
## Changes
Domain (internal/domain/policy.go):
* Add PolicyTypeCertificateLifetime as the 6th TitleCase canonical.
Pre-D-008 the seeded "max-certificate-lifetime" rule had no engine
arm — routing it through RenewalLeadTime would conflate "how
close to expiry before we renew" with "how long can the cert
possibly be", two distinct semantics. The new type accepts
config {"max_days": int} and flags certs whose
NotAfter - NotBefore exceeds the cap.
Handler validator (internal/api/handler/validation.go):
* ValidatePolicyType allowlist grown to 6 canonicals
(AllowedIssuers, AllowedDomains, RequiredMetadata,
AllowedEnvironments, RenewalLeadTime, CertificateLifetime).
OpenAPI (api/openapi.yaml):
* PolicyType enum grown to match domain.
Frontend (web/src/api/types.ts, types.test.ts):
* POLICY_TYPES tuple gains CertificateLifetime; pin test asserts
all 6 canonicals and rejects casing drift.
Migration 000014 (policy_violations severity CHECK):
* Named CHECK constraint (policy_violations_severity_check)
mirroring 000013's allowlist, defense-in-depth at the DB layer
against future drift from bypassed writes (migrations, psql
sessions, future callers). Symmetric down migration drops by
name.
Seed data:
* migrations/seed.sql rewritten to emit TitleCase canonicals with
per-arm config JSON that actually exercises the config-consuming
paths (not the missing-field backstops):
- pr-require-owner → RequiredMetadata {"required_keys":["owner"]} Warning
- pr-allowed-environments → AllowedEnvironments {"allowed":["production","staging","development"]} Error
- pr-max-certificate-lifetime → CertificateLifetime {"max_days":90} Critical
- pr-min-renewal-window → RenewalLeadTime {"lead_time_days":14} Warning
Severities are now differentiated per rule (D-006 intent).
* migrations/seed_demo.sql violation rows flipped to TitleCase
severity ('Critical', 'Error', 'Warning') so migration 000014
applies cleanly on upgrade paths.
Engine rewrite (internal/service/policy.go):
* evaluateRule rewritten. All six arms now:
1. Parse rule.Config into the per-arm typed struct.
2. Bad JSON → log at ValidateCertificate boundary and skip
this rule (no co-located poisoning of other rules in the
same batch).
3. Empty/null Config → emit the pre-D-008 missing-field
violation (backwards compat invariant — operators who
haven't reconfigured still see the same output).
4. Violations emitted carry rule.Severity (no more hardcoded
Warning); D-006 column is now load-bearing.
* CertificateLifetime arm reads NotBefore/NotAfter from the
certificate's latest version via CertRepo. Injected via
PolicyService.SetCertRepo() setter — avoids churning ~36
NewPolicyService call sites while keeping the lifetime arm
optional (degrades to a log+skip if the setter is not wired).
Server wiring (cmd/server/main.go):
* policyService.SetCertRepo(certRepo) wired after construction.
Tests (internal/service/policy_test.go):
* 25 new subtests across 5 groups:
- TestEvaluateRule_SeverityPassThrough (6): every rule type
emits violations carrying rule.Severity, not hardcoded.
- TestEvaluateRule_ConfigConsumed (12): every per-arm Config
path exercised positive + negative.
- TestEvaluateRule_EmptyConfig_BackCompat (3): empty/null
Config still emits pre-D-008 missing-field violations.
- TestEvaluateRule_BadConfig_SkipsRule: malformed JSON logs
and skips cleanly without poisoning neighbors.
- TestEvaluateRule_CertificateLifetime_RepoScenarios (3):
ok when repo wired, log+skip when not, handles missing
NotBefore/NotAfter edges.
Provenance: D-008 surfaced during D-005/D-006 remediation review
in eef1db0. That commit added persistence and CI pins for the
severity field but did not re-verify the evaluation layer
consumed it; this finding and fix close the audit-process gap.
Coverage Gap Audit findings D-005 (P0) + D-006 (P1) fixed together in a
single commit because they share the same root cause — policy CRUD sending
values the backend silently rejects — and splitting them would leave a
half-working UI between commits.
## D-005 (P0): PoliciesPage dropdown 400s every Create Policy
Root cause
----------
`web/src/pages/PoliciesPage.tsx` populated the Type `<select>` from a
hardcoded `['key_algorithm', 'ownership', 'allowed_issuers', ...]` array.
The backend's `internal/api/handler/validators.go::ValidatePolicyType`
enforces the TitleCase allowlist `AllowedIssuers`, `AllowedDomains`,
`RequiredMetadata`, `AllowedEnvironments`, `RenewalLeadTime` — defined in
`internal/domain/policy.go`. Every Create Policy request was rejected with
`400 invalid policy type`. The error surfaced only as a transient toast;
the modal closed anyway. Silent user-visible failure.
Fix
---
- `web/src/api/types.ts`: added `POLICY_TYPES` and `POLICY_SEVERITIES`
tuples with `as const` and narrowed `PolicyRule.type`, `.severity`, and
`PolicyViolation.severity` to the literal-union types. Dropdown is now
sourced from the tuple; casing drift becomes a compile error.
- `web/src/pages/PoliciesPage.tsx`: rekeyed `severityStyles` /
`severityDots` to the TitleCase values, added `humanize()` for display
(AllowedIssuers → "Allowed Issuers"), removed the `badge-neutral`
fallback that was papering over the mismatch.
- `web/src/api/types.test.ts` (new): pins both tuples exactly. If anyone
edits one side of the frontend/backend contract without the other, CI
fails with a clear assertion. Pure-TS vitest, no RTL dependency.
## D-006 (P1): `severity` field silently dropped on create/update
Root cause
----------
`PolicyRule` had no `Severity` field in `internal/domain/policy.go`. The
frontend has always sent `severity` on create/update, but Go's
`json.Decoder` (default settings, no `DisallowUnknownFields`) silently
dropped it. The value never reached PostgreSQL. Every rule rendered with
the same severity because there was no severity — just a display
computation downstream.
Fix: option (b), full-stack schema add (not delete-the-field)
-------------------------------------------------------------
- Migration `000013_policy_rule_severity` (up + down): adds
`severity VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'Warning'` to `policy_rules` with
CHECK constraint `severity IN ('Warning', 'Error', 'Critical')`. No
index — three-value column on a low-thousands-rows table, planner will
seq-scan regardless. PG 11+ metadata-only ADD COLUMN, safe on live data.
- `internal/domain/policy.go`: added `Severity PolicySeverity` field.
- `internal/repository/postgres/policy.go`: plumbed `severity` through
ListRules SELECT + Scan, GetRule SELECT + Scan, CreateRule INSERT,
UpdateRule UPDATE (4 queries).
- `internal/service/policy.go::UpdatePolicy`: if the client omits
severity on a PUT (zero-value empty string), fetch the existing rule
and preserve its severity. Without this, partial updates would trip the
NOT NULL CHECK and 500. Preserves pre-existing behavior for Name/Type
(out of scope).
- `internal/api/handler/policies.go::CreatePolicy`: default empty severity
to `'Warning'`, then validate via `ValidatePolicySeverity`. 400 with
clear message instead of 500 on CHECK violation. `UpdatePolicy`:
validates severity only when provided.
- `internal/mcp/types.go` + `internal/mcp/tools.go`: added optional
`severity` on the MCP `create_policy` / `update_policy` tool inputs so
LLM callers stay in sync with the wire contract.
- `api/openapi.yaml`: added `severity` to the `PolicyRule` schema with
the enum and default.
Acceptance criterion (user-defined)
-----------------------------------
"Create a rule with severity=Critical, reload the page, and still see
Critical — no silent drops." Verified end-to-end: frontend sends
`severity: "Critical"`, handler validates, service persists, DB stores,
GET returns, React renders the correct badge.
Seed data
---------
`migrations/seed.sql`: four demo rules now have differentiated severities
— `pr-require-owner` → Warning, `pr-allowed-environments` → Error,
`pr-max-certificate-lifetime` → Critical, `pr-min-renewal-window` →
Warning. The user called out that seeding all four at the same severity
makes the feature look decorative; differentiation demonstrates the
column carries real signal.
## Integration test fix (side effect of D-006)
`internal/integration/e2e_test.go::TestCrossResourceWorkflow/CreatePolicy`
was sending `"severity": "High"` — a value from the pre-audit severity
vocabulary that the new `ValidatePolicySeverity` correctly rejects with
400. Changed to `"Error"` (closest semantic match in the new TitleCase
allowlist). Only severity reference in the integration/ directory;
verified via grep.
## Out of scope, logged for follow-up (d/D-008)
Three policy-engine drift issues orthogonal to D-005 + D-006, explicitly
deferred per direction:
1. `migrations/seed.sql` policy_rules INSERTs use lowercase TYPE values
(`'ownership'`, `'environment'`, `'lifetime'`, `'renewal_window'`).
These are load-bearing on `internal/service/policy.go::evaluateRule`'s
`switch rule.Type` (which also uses the lowercase strings). Migrating
requires coordinated changes across seed + evaluation engine.
2. `migrations/seed_demo.sql:482-483` contains lowercase `'critical'`
severity — will now fail the new CHECK constraint. Separate fix.
3. `evaluateRule` hardcodes `Severity: domain.PolicySeverityWarning` on
emitted violations and ignores the configured `rule.Config`. The new
severity column is read correctly on the CRUD path but not yet
consulted during evaluation.
## Verification
Backend:
- `go build ./...` — clean
- `go vet ./...` — clean
- `go test -short ./...` — all packages green, including
`internal/service` (policy service), `internal/api/handler` (policy +
MCP handler tests), `internal/integration` (e2e_test.go after fix),
`internal/domain`, `internal/repository/postgres`.
Frontend:
- `tsc --noEmit` — clean
- `vitest run` — 223/223 passing (4 new assertions in types.test.ts)
- `vite build` — clean (only the pre-existing chunk-size warning)
Add three new issuer connectors completing commercial and open-source CA
coverage. Entrust uses mTLS client certificate auth with sync/async
issuance. GlobalSign Atlas uses mTLS + API key/secret dual auth with
serial-based tracking. EJBCA supports dual auth (mTLS or OAuth2) for
self-hosted Keyfactor CAs.
Each connector implements the full issuer.Connector interface (9 methods),
includes httptest-based unit tests (~14 each), and follows established
patterns (injectable HTTP clients, RFC 5280 revocation reason mapping,
CRL/OCSP delegated to CA).
Also includes: issuer factory cases, env var seeding, config structs,
domain types, seed data (3 rows, all disabled), OpenAPI enum updates,
frontend issuer catalog entries with config fields, and full docs
(connectors.md, architecture.md, features.md, README).

Close coverage gaps identified by dual-audit (qualitative + quantitative).
New test files for config (0%→98%), router (0%→100%), handler validation,
health, audit, response helpers, webhook notifier (0%→88%), email notifier,
middleware (recovery, rate limiter), domain profile, service nil-safety,
config helpers, issuer bootstrap, and server bootstrap wiring. Expanded
existing tests for ACME (34%→42%), step-ca (42%→52%), F5, SSH, agent
(43%→63%), scheduler (88%→99%), renewal service, and issuerfactory.
All tests pass: go test -short, go vet, go test -race clean.

Three related ACME ecosystem changes shipped as a single milestone:
1. ACME Certificate Profile Selection: Custom JWS-signed newOrder POST with
`profile` field (e.g., `tlsserver`, `shortlived` for 6-day certs) bypassing
acme.Client.AuthorizeOrder() since golang.org/x/crypto lacks profile support.
ES256 JWS signing with kid mode, nonce management, directory discovery.
Empty profile delegates to standard library path (zero behavior change).
Configurable via CERTCTL_ACME_PROFILE env var. GUI: profile dropdown on
ACME issuer config.
2. ARI RFC 9702 → 9773 Renumber: All 25+ references updated across Go source,
docs, README, and examples. Zero remaining occurrences of RFC 9702.
3. 45-Day / Short-Lived Certificate Positioning: 5 domain tests validating
renewal thresholds against SC-081v3 validity reduction timeline (200→100→47
days) and Let's Encrypt 45-day/6-day profiles. ARI (RFC 9773) is the
expected renewal path for 6-day shortlived certs.
New tests: 13 profile + 5 domain threshold + 1 frontend = 19 new tests.

Adds a new target connector enabling certificate deployment to any
Linux/Unix server without installing the certctl agent binary. Uses the
proxy agent pattern — a single agent in the same network zone deploys
certs to remote servers over SSH/SFTP.
Key additions:
- SSH/SFTP connector with key auth (file/inline) + password auth
- Injectable SSHClient interface for cross-platform testing (25 tests)
- Shell injection prevention via validation.ValidateShellCommand()
- Configurable cert/key/chain paths with octal permissions
- GUI: 11 SSH config fields in target create wizard
Also fixes pre-existing frontend bug where all target type strings
(nginx, apache, etc.) were sent as lowercase but the backend expects
proper-case (NGINX, Apache, etc.), breaking GUI-created targets.
Adds missing TargetTypeSSH to validTargetTypes service map.

Replace static env-var-based issuer wiring with GUI-driven dynamic
configuration stored encrypted in PostgreSQL. Operators can now
configure, test, enable/disable, and manage issuers from the dashboard
without restarting the server.
Key changes:
- AES-256-GCM encryption for sensitive issuer config at rest (PBKDF2
key derivation with 100k iterations)
- Dynamic IssuerRegistry with sync.RWMutex replacing static map
- Connector factory pattern (issuerfactory.NewFromConfig) replacing
140 lines of static wiring in main.go
- Migration 000009: encrypted_config, last_tested_at, test_status,
source columns on issuers table
- Env var seeding on first boot with ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING
- Registry Rebuild() for atomic map swap after CRUD operations
- Issuer type validation against domain constants on Create
- Audit trail for test connection results
- Conditional seeding for step-ca/OpenSSL (only when env vars set)
- GUI: source badge, connection test status on issuer detail page

Deployment jobs now set agent_id from target→agent relationship at
creation time. GetPendingWork() uses ListPendingByAgentID() with a
3-way UNION query (direct match, legacy NULL fallback via target JOIN,
AwaitingCSR via cert→target→agent chain) so each agent only receives
its own jobs.
- Added AgentID *string to Job domain struct
- Added agent_id to all job SQL queries (5 SELECTs, INSERT, UPDATE, scanJob)
- New ListPendingByAgentID() repository method
- Rewrote GetPendingWork() from ~25 lines to single scoped query
- 4 new Go tests (3 agent routing + 1 deployment agent_id)
- Frontend: agent_id/target_id on Job type

- Ensures function never panics under fuzzing
2. FuzzValidateDomainName in internal/validation/command_fuzz_test.go
- Tests RFC 1123 domain validation with wildcard support
- Seed corpus includes SQL injection, path traversal, and malformed domains
- Ensures function never panics under fuzzing
3. FuzzValidateACMEToken in internal/validation/command_fuzz_test.go

- Ensures function never panics under fuzzing
4. FuzzIsValidRevocationReason in internal/domain/revocation_fuzz_test.go
- Tests RFC 5280 revocation reason validation
- Seed corpus includes case variations, injection attempts, and null bytes
- Ensures function never panics and returns only valid booleans
5. FuzzCRLReasonCode in internal/domain/revocation_fuzz_test.go
- Tests CRL reason code mapping
- Validates return codes are within 0-9 range
- Ensures invalid reasons default to 0 (unspecified)
All fuzz tests follow Go 1.18+ testing/fuzz conventions with seed corpus
for faster discovery of edge cases.

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

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

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

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

M17: Script-based issuer connector delegating sign/revoke/CRL to user-provided
scripts. Compatible with any CA tooling (OpenSSL, cfssl, custom PKI). Configurable
timeout, environment variable passthrough. 14 tests including timeout enforcement.
M16b: certctl-cli wraps all 76 REST API endpoints for terminal workflows. Supports
certs/agents/jobs list/get/renew/revoke/cancel, bulk PEM import with progress
reporting, server health status, table and JSON output formats. Zero external
dependencies (stdlib only). 14 tests with mock HTTP server.

M19: HTTP middleware records every API call to the immutable audit trail
with method, path, actor, SHA-256 body hash, status, and latency. Best-effort
async recording via goroutine. Health/ready probes excluded.
M16a: Four pluggable notifier connectors — Slack (incoming webhook), Teams
(MessageCard), PagerDuty (Events API v2), OpsGenie (Alert API v2). Each
enabled by config env var. 30 new tests across middleware and connectors.

Implements core revocation infrastructure: POST /api/v1/certificates/{id}/revoke
with all 8 RFC 5280 reason codes, JSON-formatted CRL at GET /api/v1/crl, webhook
and email revocation notifications, best-effort issuer notification, and immutable
revocation audit trail. Includes 48 new tests across service, handler, integration,
and domain layers (600+ total). Fixes 3 pre-existing test bugs (team_test error
matching, agent_group delete status code, team handler per_page validation).

Sub-CA mode: Local CA loads CA cert+key from disk (CERTCTL_CA_CERT_PATH +
CERTCTL_CA_KEY_PATH) to operate as subordinate CA under enterprise root
(e.g., ADCS). Supports RSA, ECDSA, PKCS#8 keys. Validates IsCA and
KeyUsageCertSign. Falls back to self-signed when paths unset.
DNS-01 challenges: Pluggable DNSSolver interface with script-based hook
implementation. User-provided scripts create/cleanup _acme-challenge TXT
records for any DNS provider. Configurable propagation wait. Enables
wildcard certs and non-HTTP-accessible hosts.
step-ca connector: Smallstep private CA via native /sign API with JWK
provisioner auth. Issuance, renewal, revocation. Registered as iss-stepca.
23 new tests across 3 files. CI test path widened to ./internal/connector/issuer/...

Agents now report OS, architecture, IP address, hostname, and version
via heartbeat using runtime.GOOS, runtime.GOARCH, and net.Dial. New
migration adds columns to agents table. Heartbeat handler, service,
and repository updated to accept and persist metadata. GUI shows
OS/Arch in agent list and full system info in agent detail page.
Apache httpd connector: separate cert/chain/key files, apachectl
configtest validation, graceful reload. HAProxy connector: combined
PEM file (cert+chain+key), optional config validation, reload.
Both wired into agent binary's target connector switch.
14 tests for new connectors. All existing tests updated for new
Heartbeat/UpdateHeartbeat signatures. Docs updated across README,
architecture, concepts, and connectors guides.

Private keys never leave agent infrastructure. Agents generate ECDSA P-256
key pairs locally, store them with 0600 permissions, and submit only the CSR
(public key) to the control plane. New AwaitingCSR job state pauses
renewal/issuance jobs until the agent submits its CSR. Server-side keygen
retained behind CERTCTL_KEYGEN_MODE=server for demo/development.
Key changes:
- Dual keygen mode via CERTCTL_KEYGEN_MODE (agent default, server for demo)
- AwaitingCSR job state with CommonName/SANs in work response
- Agent ECDSA P-256 keygen, local key storage, CSR-only submission
- CompleteAgentCSRRenewal server-side flow for agent-submitted CSRs
- DeploymentRequest.KeyPEM for agent-provided keys during deployment
- Dockerfile.agent creates /var/lib/certctl/keys with correct ownership
