Phase 3 of the deploy-hardening I master bundle. Extends the
target.Connector interface with the dry-run method that operators
will use to preview a deploy before committing — but ships only the
default-stub for all 13 connectors. Phases 4-9 replace each stub
with the real validate-with-the-target implementation.
interface.go:
- Add ErrValidateOnlyNotSupported sentinel (frozen decision 0.6 —
connectors that cannot dry-run, like K8s, return this rather than
nil so operator triage can errors.Is for "not supported" vs
"validated successfully").
- Add ValidateOnly(ctx, request DeploymentRequest) error to
Connector interface.
13 new validate_only.go files (one per connector at
internal/connector/target/<name>/validate_only.go):
- apache, caddy, envoy, f5, haproxy, iis, javakeystore, k8ssecret,
nginx, postfix, ssh, traefik, wincertstore.
- Each file is identical except for the package declaration: a
one-method default stub returning target.ErrValidateOnlyNotSupported.
- Per-connector files (rather than a single embed-method approach)
let Phases 4-9 replace each connector's stub independently
without churning a shared base.
Tests:
- internal/connector/target/validate_only_test.go pins the sentinel
contract (errors.Is identity, Error() string, %w wrap propagation).
- internal/connector/target/validate_only_smoke_test.go (external
test package) constructs a zero-value &<pkg>.Connector{} for each
of the 13 connectors and asserts ValidateOnly returns
ErrValidateOnlyNotSupported. The test's
connectorsAtPhase3 list is the load-bearing CI guard:
- A 14th connector added without wiring ValidateOnly fails the
`len(connectorsAtPhase3) != 13` invariant.
- A connector whose real ValidateOnly lands (Phase 4 NGINX, Phase
5 Apache, etc.) MUST be removed from this list or the smoke test
fails (real impl no longer returns the sentinel). That removal
IS the bookkeeping that the operator-visible bit + behavior
change are wired together end-to-end.
Compile + go vet + golangci-lint v2.11.4 + go test all 0 issues.
Phase 4 next: NGINX canonical real-impl — replace the stub with
nginx -t -c <temp>; same time replace the existing os.WriteFile
flow in DeployCertificate with deploy.Apply(...).
Closes Q-1 (cat-s3-58ce7e9840be) — 37 t.Skip / testing.Short() sites
across 9 test files audited. Per-site verdict matrix:
- cmd/agent/verify_test.go (1 site): defensive guard against unreachable
httptest.NewTLSServer code path. Document-skip with closure comment.
- deploy/test/qa_test.go (11 sites): file already gated by `//go:build qa`
tag. The 11 t.Skip("Requires X — manual test") markers are runtime
second-line guards for operators who run -tags qa against a stack
missing the required external service. File-level header comment
block added explaining the manual-test convention.
- deploy/test/healthcheck_test.go (5 sites): 3 docker-availability +
1 testing.Short + 1 hard-skip for not-yet-wired runtime probe
(image-spec contract above already covers the audit-flagged
regression). All correctly gated; file-level header comment block
added explaining each.
- deploy/test/integration_test.go (5 sites): in-flight-state guards
(poll-with-skip after 90s polling for agent-online, inter-test
Phase04→Phase07 ordering, scheduler-tick race for discovered certs,
inter-test issuer fallthrough, defensive PEM-empty assertion).
Each site now has a closure comment explaining why skip is the
right choice rather than fail (upstream phase already surfaces the
real failure; skipping prevents masking root cause behind cascading
noise).
- internal/repository/postgres/{testutil,seed,repo}_test.go (5 sites):
testing.Short() gates for testcontainers-backed live PostgreSQL
integration tests. All correctly gated; closure comments added
naming the run command.
- internal/connector/notifier/email/email_test.go (2 sites):
anti-fixture assertions (test asserts SMTP dial fails; if a captive
portal black-holes the call to success, skip rather than false-pass).
Closure comments added explaining the fixture assumption.
- internal/connector/target/iis/iis_test.go (2 sites): platform-gated
skip for powershell.exe absence on non-Windows hosts. Mirrors the
production iis_connector.go LookPath guard. Closure comments added.
Total: 17 closure comments anchor the 37 skip sites (some sites share a
single block-level comment). All skips remain in place; the change is
purely documentation. The audit recommendation was "audit each skip and
decide" — for these 37, the decision is uniformly **document-skip**:
the gating is correct, the t.Skip messages name the missing precondition,
and the closure comments now pin the rationale for future readers.
See coverage-gap-audit-2026-04-24-v5/unified-audit.md
cat-s3-58ce7e9840be for closure rationale.
Complete the IIS target connector with dual-mode deployment:
- WinRM proxy agent mode via masterzen/winrm for remote Windows servers
- Base64 PFX transfer with try/finally cleanup on remote host
- GUI wizard updated with 13 IIS config fields including WinRM settings
- TargetDetailPage sensitive field redaction (password/secret/token/key)
- OpenAPI TargetType enum updated (added Traefik, Caddy)
- connectors.md fully documented with WinRM proxy config example
- 38 total IIS tests (10 new WinRM tests), all passing with race detection

Implement full IIS target connector with PEM-to-PFX conversion via
go-pkcs12, PowerShell-based deployment (Import-PfxCertificate, IIS
binding management), SHA-1 thumbprint computation, and SNI support.
Injectable PowerShellExecutor interface enables cross-platform testing.
Regex-validated config fields prevent PowerShell injection. 28 tests.
Restructure README from 563 to 313 lines: outcome-focused feature
descriptions, "Who Is This For" persona section, examples promoted
above the fold, configuration/API/security reference moved to docs.
All numbers verified against repo (25 GUI pages, 97 OpenAPI ops,
CI thresholds service 55%/handler 60%/domain 40%/middleware 30%).
