shankar0123 0161bb201c docs: remove internal engineering docs; docs must be tool- or story-relevant
Operator policy: docs in the public repo must help (a) a user
deploying certctl or (b) the product story. Internal engineering
process documentation belongs in cowork/ scratchpads or in git
commit history, not docs/.

Removed (docs/contributor/, 8 files, 2,323 lines):
  - release-sign-off.md         — internal release-day checklist
  - ci-pipeline.md              — what runs in CI (internal)
  - ci-guards.md                — what the guards are (internal)
  - testing-strategy.md         — internal testing strategy
  - qa-test-suite.md            — internal QA reference (445 lines)
  - qa-prerequisites.md         — internal QA setup
  - gui-qa-checklist.md         — manual GUI QA checklist
  - test-environment.md         — 1,103-line redundant with
                                  docs/getting-started/quickstart.md +
                                  docs/getting-started/advanced-demo.md

Removed supporting script:
  - scripts/qa-doc-seed-count.sh — CI guard for the deleted
                                   qa-test-suite.md seed-data table

Cross-reference cleanup:
  - README.md: dropped the Contributor audience row + footer
    pointer to docs/contributor/.
  - Makefile: dropped `verify-docs` target + qa-stats comment refs.
  - .github/workflows/ci.yml: dropped the QA-doc seed-count drift
    CI step + dead comment refs.
  - docs/reference/cli.md: repointed qa-prerequisites.md → quickstart.md.
  - docs/operator/performance-baselines.md: dropped ci-pipeline.md
    cross-ref.
  - scripts/ci-guards/README.md: dropped the 'Guards explicitly
    NOT here' section that referenced the deleted QA-doc guards.

G-3 env-docs-drift guard improvements (a real consequence: deleting
the contributor docs surfaced that some env vars only had a home
there). Refit the guard to the new doc topology:
  - Defined-scan widened from `config.go + cmd/*` to all of `cmd/ +
    internal/` (production code), excluding `*_test.go` — catches
    service-layer env vars like CERTCTL_STEPCA_ROOT_CERT and
    CERTCTL_ZEROSSL_EAB_URL that were previously invisible to the
    guard.
  - Docs-scan widened to include deploy/ENVIRONMENTS.md (the
    canonical env-var inventory table — should have been in scope
    from day one). Kept narrow to README + docs/ + deploy/helm/ +
    ENVIRONMENTS.md to avoid pulling in compose/test fixtures.
  - ALLOWED filter now applies to both DOCS_ONLY and CONFIG_ONLY
    directions, so dynamic per-profile dispatch surfaces
    (CERTCTL_SCEP_PROFILE_<NAME>_*, CERTCTL_EST_PROFILE_<NAME>_*,
    CERTCTL_QA_*) don't need static doc entries.
  - Added CERTCTL_SCEP_PROFILE_[A-Z_]+ and CERTCTL_EST_PROFILE_[A-Z_]+
    to ALLOWED for the same reason.

deploy/ENVIRONMENTS.md: added CERTCTL_ZEROSSL_EAB_URL row — real
operator override (overrides the ZeroSSL EAB-credentials endpoint;
read at internal/connector/issuer/acme/acme.go:372) that was
defined in Go source but never documented. G-3 caught it after the
defined-scan widened.

scripts/ci-guards/S-1-hardcoded-source-counts.sh: removed dead
WORKSPACE-CHANGELOG.md allowlist entry (the file was deleted in
the prior workspace cleanup).

Verified:
  All 35 scripts/ci-guards/*.sh green (FAIL=0).
  No remaining references to docs/contributor/ or qa-doc-seed-count
  in tracked files.

shankar0123 aedf19d128 ci(cold-db-smoke): inline into workflow; remove the script (operator: not a per-commit gate)
Operator pushback: 'I don't want a smoke test I have to manually run
every time I commit.' Correct read — the script existed for local
debugging but its presence in scripts/ci-guards/ implied 'operator
runs this regularly,' which is the opposite of the design intent.

Changes:

- Removed scripts/ci-guards/cold-db-compose-smoke.sh.
- Inlined the smoke logic directly into the
  cold-db-compose-smoke job in .github/workflows/ci.yml. Same
  semantics: docker compose down -v -> up -d -> wait-healthy ->
  bootstrap admin -> issue/renew/revoke -> assert audit rows ->
  teardown. 15-min wall-clock cap. Logs dump on failure.
- Removed the cold-db-compose-smoke.sh skip case from the generic
  regression-guards loop (no longer needed).
- Updated scripts/ci-guards/README.md and
  docs/contributor/ci-guards.md to reflect the new shape: 'lives in
  the workflow, not as a script.'

Workspace docs updated (cowork/WORKSPACE-CHANGELOG.md,
cowork/CLAUDE.md, cowork/auditable-codebase-bundle/RESULTS.md).

The gate is unchanged: CI runs the smoke on every push, master
branch-protection enforces it as a required check. Operator's
manual action is once — adding the check to branch-protection.

shankar0123 9f7b5d89a5 docs(contributor): document the Auditable Codebase Bundle guards
Three doc changes for the bundle's discoverability:

1. New docs/contributor/ci-guards.md (185 lines)
   Entry-point doc for new contributors. Explains the four categories
   of guards (code-shape, contract-parity, build/dep, operational),
   the discipline that keeps them honest (allowlist + expiration),
   and how to add a new one. Cross-references scripts/ci-guards/README.md
   for the exhaustive list.

2. scripts/ci-guards/README.md — added a 'Forward-looking guards'
   subsection naming complete-path-config-coverage, doc-rot-detector,
   and cold-db-compose-smoke with their item references + a
   one-sentence description of what each catches. Replaced the
   stale '22 guards' header with 'Count: re-derive via ls' per the
   no-version-stamped-numbers convention from CLAUDE.md.

3. docs/README.md — wired ci-guards.md into the Contributor section
   navigation table.

Bumped 'Last reviewed:' to 2026-05-12 on the two docs touched
(docs/README.md, docs/contributor/ci-pipeline.md).

Verified: doc-rot-detector.sh green at 91 docs scanned, 89 dated, 0
warns, 0 fails.

shankar0123 a1c7741e1b fix(deploy/test) + ci(guard): drop dead SCEP profile from test compose
The deploy-vendor-e2e job has been failing with the certctl-test-server
container restarting endlessly. Diagnostic dump (added in 3b96b35)
finally surfaced the actual cause:

    Failed to load configuration: SCEP profile 0 (PathID="e2eintune")
    has empty CHALLENGE_PASSWORD — refuse to start (CWE-306: per-profile
    shared secret is the sole application-layer auth boundary; an empty
    password would allow any client reaching /scep/e2eintune to enroll
    a CSR against issuer "iss-local")

Same shape as the encryption-key fix that landed in c4157fd: a config
validation gate added in code that the test compose never got updated
to satisfy, hidden pre-Phase-5 because the matrix-collapse hadn't yet
forced the certctl-server to actually boot in CI.

Root cause is more interesting than just "missing env var." The
2026-04-29 SCEP RFC 8894 + Intune master bundle Phase I added an
`e2eintune` SCEP profile to docker-compose.test.yml expecting
deploy/test/scep_intune_e2e_test.go to exercise it. That integration
test does exist (//go:build integration) but **NO CI job ever
selects it** — ci.yml's deploy-vendor-e2e job runs only
`-run 'VendorEdge_'` (line 379), and no other job invokes
`go test -tags integration` with a SCEP selector. Confirmed via
`grep -rnE "scep_intune|SCEPIntune" .github/workflows/` returning
empty.

Worse: the supporting fixtures (ra.crt + ra.key + intune_trust_anchor.pem)
were documented in deploy/test/fixtures/README.md with the
regeneration recipe but never actually committed. Pre-Phase-5 the
test stack didn't fully boot the server in CI, so the entire stack
of debt — dead config + missing fixtures + no consumer test — sat
silent until the matrix collapse forced the boot path.

Fixing this with a fake CHALLENGE_PASSWORD value would silence the
immediate validator but leave the real problem in place: maintenance
cost on test config that no test exercises. Same critique applies
to "let me commit fake fixtures" — the fixtures alone don't add
test coverage when no CI job runs the SCEP test.

The complete-path fix is to make the test compose match what CI
actually exercises:

  - deploy/docker-compose.test.yml: drop CERTCTL_SCEP_ENABLED + the
    full e2eintune profile env var family (10 lines) + the
    ./test/fixtures volume mount (1 line). Replace with an in-line
    comment explaining why SCEP is intentionally disabled and what
    needs to come back together when SCEP is added to CI for real.

  - scripts/ci-guards/test-compose-scep-coherence.sh (new, 22nd
    guard): refuses any future state where CERTCTL_SCEP_ENABLED=true
    in test compose without ALL of:
      1. A CI job that runs the SCEP integration test (matched by
         scep_intune | SCEPIntune | -run [Ss]cep in ci.yml)
      2. The fixture files actually committed (ra.crt, ra.key,
         intune_trust_anchor.pem)
      3. The ./test/fixtures:/etc/certctl/scep:ro volume mount
    Verified manually with the same pattern as the H-1 guard:
    clean tree → exit 0; deliberate SCEP_ENABLED=true regression →
    exit 1 with 5 ::error:: annotations covering each gap; restore
    → exit 0 again.

  - scripts/ci-guards/README.md: 21 → 22 guards, new row.

The fixtures README at deploy/test/fixtures/README.md keeps the
regeneration recipe so the eventual SCEP CI job lands cleanly: the
operator who adds the SCEP job restores the env vars, regenerates
+ commits the fixtures, and the guard auto-passes.

Pattern (now firm across this CI-stabilization sequence):
  - Pre-existing latent bug
  - Old CI structurally hid it (per-vendor matrix, missing boot path)
  - Phase-5 matrix collapse + new diagnostic infra exposed it
  - Direct fix unblocks today
  - Regression guard prevents the same shape of drift forever

Encryption-key (c4157fd) was the same shape; this is its sibling.

shankar0123 c4157fd196 fix(deploy/test) + ci(guard): unblock deploy-vendor-e2e — encryption-key length
Two-part complete-path fix for the deploy-vendor-e2e failure that has
been firing since the ci-pipeline-cleanup Phase 5 matrix collapse
started actually booting the certctl-test-server:

    Failed to load configuration:
    CERTCTL_CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY too short (29 bytes; minimum 32).

Surfaced via the diagnostic-dump step landed in commit 3b96b35 — the
server panicked on startup, Docker restarted it endlessly, compose
reported the dependency-chain symptom ("container certctl-test-server
is unhealthy"), but the actual cause was invisible in the previous
CI output. With the dump in place, the next failing run named the
problem in one line.

Root cause. The H-1 audit-closure master commit 3e78ecb
("feat(security): bodyLimit on noAuth + security headers + encryption-
key validation (H-1 master)") added internal/config/config.go's
minEncryptionKeyLength = 32 byte floor + 5 unit tests that pin it.
The closure was incomplete: it never enforced the rule against the
literal CERTCTL_CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY values certctl's own
deploy/docker-compose*.yml files pass. Pre-Phase-5 the test stack
didn't fully exercise the validator (the per-vendor matrix didn't
boot certctl-test-server in every job), so the gap was silent.
deploy/docker-compose.test.yml's literal value
`test-encryption-key-32chars!!` was 29 bytes — the name claimed 32
but the author miscounted (4+1+10+1+3+1+2+5+2 = 29). Pattern matches
every fix in this CI-stabilization sequence: pre-existing latent bug
that the old CI structurally hid.

Part 1 — direct fix (deploy/docker-compose.test.yml):

  Replace the 29-byte literal with a clearly test-only,
  self-documenting 49-byte value (`test-encryption-key-deterministic-
  32-byte-fixture`). 17 bytes of safety margin so a future tightening
  of the floor (32 → 33+) doesn't break this fixture again. Inline
  comment block explains the byte-budget contract + points at the
  H-1 closure commit. Production deploy/docker-compose.yml's default
  (`change-me-32-char-encryption-key`) is exactly 32 bytes — passes
  by 1 byte but on the edge; not touched here because operators are
  already told to override it via env (`${VAR:-default}`).

Part 2 — structural fix (scripts/ci-guards/H-1-encryption-key-min-
length.sh):

  New regression guard. Scans every deploy/docker-compose*.yml for
  literal CERTCTL_CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY values + values inside
  ${VAR:-default} expansions, checks each against the 32-byte floor,
  fails CI with `::error::` annotation pointing at the offending
  file:line if any literal regresses. Bare ${VAR} env references with
  no default are skipped — those are operator-supplied at runtime
  and the validator handles them at boot.

  Verified manually:
    - Clean repo: `H-1-encryption-key-min-length: clean.` (exit 0)
    - 5-byte regression: emits proper ::error:: annotation, exit 1
    - Restore: clean again (exit 0)

  CI auto-picks up the new guard via the `for g in
  scripts/ci-guards/*.sh; do bash "$g"; done` loop in ci.yml's
  Regression guards step (no ci.yml change required).

  scripts/ci-guards/README.md updated: 20 → 21 guards, new row
  explaining the closure rationale.

The structural piece is the more important half of this fix. The
direct fix unblocks today's CI; the guard prevents the same class of
drift from ever recurring silently. Future audit closures that add
new validation rules to internal/config/config.go now have a working
template for the matching CI guard — drop a sibling .sh in the
ci-guards directory.

Bonus — what the diagnostic-dump step (3b96b35) bought us. Before
that step landed, the same failure looked like an opaque "container
unhealthy" with no actionable signal. With it, the actual error
message + the offending env var + the exact byte count came out in
one CI run. The diagnostic infrastructure paid for itself within one
push.

shankar0123 7b8cadcd02 refactor(scripts): move CI helpers out of scripts/ci-guards/
The 'Regression guards' loop step in ci.yml runs:
    for g in scripts/ci-guards/*.sh; do bash "$g"; done

Per the directory's own contract (scripts/ci-guards/README.md), every
script there MUST be runnable bare with no args / no env. Three files
violated that contract — they're helpers consumed by specific CI job
steps with arguments, not regression guards. They were misplaced.

Moved (git mv):
  scripts/ci-guards/vendor-e2e-skip-check.sh         → scripts/
  scripts/ci-guards/vendor-e2e-skip-allowlist.txt    → scripts/
  scripts/ci-guards/coverage-pr-comment.sh           → scripts/

Updated ci.yml call sites:
  - deploy-vendor-e2e job: bash scripts/vendor-e2e-skip-check.sh $LOG
  - go-build-and-test job: bash scripts/coverage-pr-comment.sh

Tightened scripts/vendor-e2e-skip-check.sh arg parse from a silent
default ('LOG=${1:-test-output.log}') to a mandatory-arg form
('LOG=${1:?usage: ...}') so misuse fails loud at parse time rather
than at the missing-file check.

Updated scripts/ci-guards/README.md contract to spell out the
guard-vs-helper distinction explicitly; lists current helpers under
scripts/ for future-author guidance.

Verified locally: 'for g in scripts/ci-guards/*.sh; do bash $g; done'
returns clean (22 guards pass) on HEAD post-move.

Closes the regression-guards-loop failure that surfaced in CI run
25192163943 (job 73864471346 'Frontend Build').

shankar0123 1caedd5fd3 ci-pipeline-cleanup Phase 1: extract 20 regression guards to scripts/ci-guards/
Bundle: ci-pipeline-cleanup, Phase 1.

Pure relocation — no behavior change. Each guard's bash logic is
byte-identical to the prior inline version; the only changes are:
(a) the guard becomes a sibling script under scripts/ci-guards/<id>.sh,
(b) ci.yml's per-guard step is replaced by a single loop step that
iterates all scripts.

20 scripts extracted (alphabetized):
  B-1-orphan-crud.sh, D-1-D-2-statusbadge-phantom.sh,
  G-1-jwt-auth-literal.sh, G-2-api-key-hash-json.sh,
  G-3-env-docs-drift.sh, H-001-bare-from.sh, H-009-readme-jwt.sh,
  L-001-insecure-skip-verify.sh, L-1-bulk-action-loop.sh,
  M-012-no-root-user.sh, P-1-documented-orphan-fns.sh,
  S-1-hardcoded-source-counts.sh, S-2-strings-contains-err.sh,
  T-1-frontend-page-coverage.sh, U-2-plaintext-healthcheck.sh,
  U-3-migration-mount.sh, bundle-8-L-015-target-blank-rel-noopener.sh,
  bundle-8-L-019-dangerously-set-inner-html.sh,
  bundle-8-M-009-bare-usemutation.sh, test-naming-convention.sh

Plus scripts/ci-guards/README.md documenting the contract:
- Each script must exit 0 on clean repo, non-zero with ::error::
  prefix on regression
- Runnable from repo root via 'bash scripts/ci-guards/<id>.sh'
- Adding a new guard: drop a new <id>.sh; CI auto-picks it up

ci.yml dropped 1488 → 557 lines (-931, -63%).

Single CI loop step now collects ALL guard failures before failing
the build instead of fail-fast — UX win for regressions that hit
two guards at once.

Two guards (QA-doc Part-count + seed-count, ci.yml lines 868-917)
deliberately NOT extracted — they move to 'make verify-docs' in
Phase 11 because they protect docs-the-operator-reads, not the
product itself.

Verification (sandbox):
- All 20 scripts pass against HEAD (chmod +x; for g in scripts/ci-guards/*.sh; do bash $g; done)
- New ci.yml YAML-parses cleanly
- Job boundaries preserved: go-build-and-test, frontend-build,
  helm-lint, deploy-vendor-e2e, deploy-vendor-e2e-windows
- Loop step appears twice (once at end of go-build-and-test, once
  at end of frontend-build) so both jobs continue running their
  set of guards
