Broadened BSL Additional Use Grant from "hosted or managed service" to cover
any commercial offering (embedded, bundled, integrated). Updated README to
promote all shipped connectors from Beta to Implemented, added EST/ARI/S/MIME
highlight, Helm quickstart, and corrected license description. Fixed
connectors.md stale claims (AWS ACM PCA listed as planned, K8s Secrets
listed as coming soon) and updated overview with exact connector counts.

Rewrote docs/features.md from scratch as authoritative feature inventory
(1255 lines, every claim verified against source files).
Audited README.md and architecture.md against repo — fixed 19 stale
references: K8s Secrets status, issuer counts, dashboard page counts,
CI thresholds, missing connectors in Mermaid diagrams, OpenAPI operation
count, GetCACertPEM behavior, and V2/V4 roadmap accuracy.
Also includes related fixes discovered during audit:
- Scheduler skips expired/failed/revoked certs from auto-renewal
- Seed demo expiry dates moved outside 31-day scheduler query window
- Agent pages use correct last_heartbeat_at field name

The Kubernetes Secrets target connector has config validation, tests, UI,
and Helm RBAC implemented but the realK8sClient is a stub — runtime
deployment will fail. Update README and connectors.md to reflect actual
status instead of misleading 'Beta' label.
Also increase the audit trail GUI default from 50 to 200 events per page
(backend already permits up to 500).

- New deploy/ENVIRONMENTS.md: comprehensive walkthrough of all 4 compose
files with service-by-service explanations, beginner-friendly Docker
concepts, and expert-level networking/config details
- Fix docker-compose.dev.yml: agent LOG_LEVEL → CERTCTL_LOG_LEVEL (was
silently ignored without the CERTCTL_ prefix)
- Add CERTCTL_CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY to base and test compose (enables
M34/M35 dynamic issuer/target config encryption)
- Add CERTCTL_DISCOVERY_DIRS to base compose agent (enables filesystem
certificate discovery in default deployment)
- Cross-link ENVIRONMENTS.md from README doc table and quickstart.md

Adds a one-line "Ready to try it?" link right after the maintainer
callout, before the longer prose sections. Gives scanners an immediate
exit to install instructions without rearranging the README's
explain → show → install flow.

- README: Add 7 missing docs to documentation table (MCP server, OpenAPI
guide, migration guides for certbot/acme.sh/cert-manager, test
environment, testing guide). Fix connector reference description to
remove stale counts. Link OpenAPI guide instead of raw YAML.
- architecture.md: Add cross-references to testing-guide.md and
test-env.md from testing strategy section and What's Next links.
These were the only two orphaned docs with zero inbound references.

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 brittle test count numbers (1,554+, 1,088+, 211, etc.) with
descriptions of testing approach and CI-enforced coverage gates.
Counts go stale every milestone — coverage thresholds are machine-
verified and never drift.

Google Cloud Certificate Authority Service integration via REST API
with OAuth2 service account auth (JWT→access token). Synchronous
issuance model, CA pool selection, mutex-guarded token caching,
revocation with RFC 5280 reason mapping. No Google SDK dependency —
all stdlib. 19 tests with httptest mock OAuth2 + CAS API.

Create docs/examples.md as the central entry point for all 5 turnkey
docker-compose scenarios with a decision matrix, per-example summaries,
and contextual migration guide links. Update quickstart.md to bridge
from demo to real deployment. Consolidate README docs table (10 rows
from 13). Fix Vault PKI "(planned)" in cert-manager guide.

Dual-mode TLS connector for mail servers — single package with mode
field selecting Postfix or Dovecot defaults. File-based cert/key
deployment with correct permissions (cert 0644, key 0600), optional
chain append, shell injection prevention, and configurable
reload/validate commands. 18 tests covering config validation,
deployment, and security. GUI wizard fields and OpenAPI enum updated.

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%).

All bars start from the same point so the shrinking from 1825
days to 47 days is visually obvious. Section labels indicate
the policy year, bar length shows the max certificate lifespan.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Each bar starts at the policy effective date and its length equals
the max certificate lifespan in days. The visual shrinking from
1825 days (2015) to 47 days (2029) tells the story accurately.

The gantt bars spanned between date ranges which misrepresented
the data. The timeline diagram correctly maps each date to its
maximum certificate lifespan.

Mermaid timeline diagrams render dashed downward arrows that can't
be hidden. Switched to gantt chart for a cleaner horizontal bar
visualization showing TLS certificate lifespan reduction from
5 years (2015) to 47 days (2029).

Add certificate export in PEM (JSON or file download) and PKCS#12 formats.
Private keys are never included — they stay on agents. Add EKU-aware
issuance threading profile EKUs (serverAuth, clientAuth, codeSigning,
emailProtection, timeStamping) through the full issuance pipeline. Fix
agent CSR SAN splitting for email addresses, adaptive KeyUsage flags for
S/MIME vs TLS, and a pre-existing generateID collision bug in deployment
job creation.

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.

why-certctl: Remove Feature Summary section (duplicated README and
Feature Inventory content). Competitive comparisons remain as the
focused value of this page.

README: Replace old 5-column comparison table with 7-competitor table
(certctl, CertKit, CertWarden, Certimate, CZERTAINLY, KeyTalk, cert-manager)
with Free tier row. Remove CertKit from documentation table link text.
Version badge v2.0.4 → v2.0.5, add Why certctl? and Feature Inventory
to docs table, condense ToC, trim Configuration/API/Roadmap sections
with links to detailed docs.
why-certctl.md: Add detailed comparison sections for Certimate (cloud/CDN
focus, no agent, ACME-only), CZERTAINLY (K8s-required microservices,
pluggable connectors, broader vision), and KeyTalk (proprietary, multi-cert-type,
no public docs). Add 14-row summary comparison table covering all 7 competitors.
