Closes L-009 + L-010 + L-011 + L-013 + L-020 + L-021 from
comprehensive-audit-2026-04-25. L-004 deferred — recon found NO
rotation infrastructure exists at all; building it from scratch is
a feature project, not a Bundle-E mechanical sweep.
L-009 — ZeroSSL EAB URL configurable
Audit's 'no timeout' claim was wrong: ari.go:329 has 15s timeout.
internal/connector/issuer/acme/acme.go: zeroSSLEABEndpoint now
lazily reads CERTCTL_ZEROSSL_EAB_URL from env at package init;
defaults to ZeroSSL public endpoint. Pre-existing test override
path preserved.
L-010 — Verified-already-clean
grep -rn 'mock\.Anything' --include='*_test.go' . returned 0.
certctl uses hand-rolled struct mocks (mockJobRepo, mockAuditRepo,
etc.) with explicit method bodies; no testify-style mocks anywhere.
L-011 — IPv6 bracket-aware dialing pinned
Every production net.Dial / DialTimeout site audited:
cmd/agent/main.go:293 — intentional IPv4 literal '8.8.8.8:80'
verify.go / tlsprobe / network_scan — net.Dialer (no string addr)
email.go — net.JoinHostPort (bracket-aware)
ssh.go — addr derives from JoinHostPort upstream
ssrf.go — net.Dialer
internal/connector/notifier/email/email_ipv6_test.go (NEW):
TestJoinHostPort_IPv6BracketsRoundTrip pins IPv4/IPv6/zone variants;
TestSMTPDialerUsesJoinHostPort source-greps email.go and fails CI
if a future refactor swaps in 'host:port' concatenation.
L-013 — Verified-already-clean (monotonic-safe)
Only one site uses now.Sub: middleware.go:393 in tokenBucket.allow().
Both 'now' and tb.lastRefill come from time.Now() which carries
monotonic-clock readings per Go's time package contract;
intra-process now.Sub is monotonic-safe by construction. Doc
comment block added above the call to make the invariant explicit.
L-020 (CWE-563) — ineffassign sweep, 8 unique sites
certificate.go:135 — sortDir initial value dropped (set
unconditionally below by SortDesc branch).
certificate.go:169,175 — argCount post-increments dropped (var
not read past the LIMIT/OFFSET formatting).
agent_group.go, profile.go — page/perPage truly vestigial,
replaced with _ = page; _ = perPage.
issuer.go:633, owner.go:131, target.go:267, team.go:131 — same
treatment for the audit-flagged second-function ListXxx clamps.
First-function List() in issuer/owner/target/team KEEPS its
clamp because page/perPage is used for in-memory slice
pagination — ineffassign correctly didn't flag those.
Build + tests green post-sweep.
L-021 — Transitive CVE bump
go get golang.org/x/crypto@v0.45.0 golang.org/x/net@v0.47.0
(crypto required net@0.47.0). go-text@v0.31.0 transitively
bumped.
Per tool-output govulncheck-verbose: x/net@v0.45.0 fixes
GO-2026-4441 + GO-2026-4440; x/crypto@v0.45.0 fixes
GO-2025-4134 + GO-2025-4135 + GO-2025-4116 — all 5 advisories
cleared. Bundle B's ISV grep guard + Bundle D's release-time
govulncheck step are the going-forward monitor + bump pass.
L-004 — Deferred to dedicated bundle
Recon: zero hits for RotateAPIKey / rotated_at / key_status
anywhere in source. API keys configured via
CERTCTL_API_KEYS_NAMED env var; rotation is operator-managed
(edit env + restart). Building rotation infrastructure from
scratch is a feature project, not a mechanical sweep.

Closes M-006 + M-007 + M-008 + M-015 + M-016 + M-019 + M-020 from
comprehensive-audit-2026-04-25. M-028 was already closed by the
Bundle B CI follow-up.
M-006 (CWE-913) — Idempotent migration 000014
migrations/000014_policy_violation_severity_check.up.sql:
Prepended ALTER TABLE ... DROP CONSTRAINT IF EXISTS before the
ADD. Mirrors the down migration's existing IF EXISTS shape and
the M-7 idempotent-index idiom. Re-runs against partially-applied
DBs now succeed.
M-007 — Bulk-op partial-failure tests (3 new)
internal/api/handler/bulk_partial_failure_test.go:
TestBulkRevoke_PartialFailure_ReportsBoth
TestBulkRenew_PartialFailure_ReportsBoth
TestBulkReassign_PartialFailure_ReportsBoth
Each asserts HTTP 200 + both success/failure counters round-trip
+ per-cert errors[] preserved with non-empty messages so operators
can correlate each failure to its certificate ID.
M-008 — Admin-gated handler enumeration pin (verified-already-clean)
Recon: only one admin-gated handler — bulk_revocation.go — with
full 3-branch test triplet already in place. health.go calls
IsAdmin informationally to surface the flag to the GUI without
gating.
internal/api/handler/m008_admin_gate_test.go:
Walks every handler .go file, asserts every middleware.IsAdmin
call site is in AdminGatedHandlers (with required test triplet)
or InformationalIsAdminCallers (justified). Adding a new admin
gate without updating both the constant AND adding the test
triplet fails CI.
M-015 — Single-profile cardinality pin (verified-already-clean)
Audit claim 'no cardinality validation' was wrong — enforced at
struct level. domain.ManagedCertificate.{CertificateProfileID,
RenewalPolicyID,IssuerID,OwnerID} and RenewalPolicy.
CertificateProfileID are bare strings, not slices.
internal/domain/m015_cardinality_test.go:
reflect-based pin on kind=String. Schema change to N:N would
have to update renewal.go's lookup loop in the same commit.
M-016 (CWE-754) — Reap stale-agent jobs
internal/repository/postgres/job.go::ListJobsWithOfflineAgents:
JOIN jobs to agents on agent_id, filter (status=Running AND
a.last_heartbeat_at < cutoff), exclude server-keygen jobs.
internal/service/job.go::ReapJobsWithOfflineAgents:
Flips matched jobs to Failed reason agent_offline so I-001
retry loop re-queues them on a healthy agent. Records audit
event per reap.
internal/scheduler/scheduler.go:
Scheduler.runJobTimeout cycle now calls both reaper arms.
agentOfflineJobTTL default 5min (5x agent-health-check default);
SetAgentOfflineJobTTL knob for operator override.
internal/service/job_offline_agent_reaper_test.go: 6 unit tests
cover happy path, server-keygen-skip, non-Running-skip, non-
positive-TTL fail-loud, repo-error propagation, audit-event
recording.
M-019 — Configurable ARI HTTP timeout
Audit claim 'no fallback timeout' was wrong — ari.go:52 already
had a 15s timeout. Bundle C makes it configurable.
internal/connector/issuer/acme/acme.go:
Config.ARIHTTPTimeoutSeconds field with env path
CERTCTL_ACME_ARI_HTTP_TIMEOUT_SECONDS.
internal/connector/issuer/acme/ari.go:
Both HTTP clients (GetRenewalInfo + getARIEndpoint) now use the
new ariHTTPTimeout() helper. Zero / negative / nil-config all
fall back to the historic 15s default.
ari_timeout_test.go: 4 dispatch arm tests.
M-020 (CWE-770) — OCSP DoS hardening
Pre-bundle the noAuthHandler chain had no rate limit. An attacker
could DoS the OCSP responder, which for fail-open relying parties
is a revocation bypass.
cmd/server/main.go:
noAuthHandler refactored from fixed middleware.Chain(...) to a
conditional slice that appends middleware.NewRateLimiter when
cfg.RateLimit.Enabled. Per-IP keying applies; OCSP/CRL/EST/SCEP
are unauth.
docs/security.md (NEW):
Operator runbook documenting Must-Staple TLS Feature extension
RFC 7633 as the architectural fix for fail-open relying parties.
Profile-flip guidance + nginx/Apache/HAProxy/Envoy stapling
snippets + explicit scope statement on what the rate limiter
alone does NOT solve.

F-001 (P3): GenerateDERCRL scoped to issuer via composite index
- Add RevocationRepository.ListByIssuer leveraging migration 000012's
idx_certificate_revocations_issuer_serial composite index as a
prefix-scan target. Previously CAOperationsSvc.GenerateDERCRL called
ListAll() and filtered by IssuerID in Go — O(total revocations)
regardless of how many revocations belonged to the target issuer.
- Rewrite GenerateDERCRL to call ListByIssuer(ctx, issuerID) so PostgreSQL
drives a prefix scan of the composite index. Drops the in-memory filter.
- New regression test in ca_operations_test.go asserts the CRL hot path
invokes ListByIssuer exactly once and never ListAll, and that the
issuerID is threaded through correctly.
F-002 (P3): digest.go admin-auth endpoints no longer leak internal errors
- PreviewDigest (GET /api/v1/digest/preview) and SendDigest
(POST /api/v1/digest/send) previously wrote err.Error() into the HTTP
response body on 500s. Replace with slog.Error server-side logging plus
a generic "internal error" response body, matching the house pattern
in certificates.go and export.go.
F-003 (P4): three blocking time.Sleep sites now honor ctx cancellation
- internal/connector/issuer/acme/acme.go:672 (DNS-01 propagation wait)
now runs under a select{case <-ctx.Done(): CleanUp + return ctx.Err();
case <-time.After(d):} so graceful shutdown doesn't get stuck behind
the propagation delay.
- internal/connector/issuer/acme/acme.go:786 (dns-persist-01 propagation
wait) same pattern, returns ctx.Err() on cancel.
- cmd/agent/main.go:272 (polling backoff inside the heartbeat loop) now
wraps the sleep in select{case <-ctx.Done(): continue; case <-time.After(backoff):}
so the outer <-ctx.Done() case on the parent loop fires cleanly.
Verification: build, vet, and race-enabled short tests green across all
55+ packages. govulncheck reports zero vulnerabilities in the code path.
No migration needed — F-001 reuses the existing 000012 composite index.
No frontend changes.
Final PR in the six-commit M-2 sequence (PR-A: CertificateService cluster
cdc9d03, PR-B: IssuerService+TargetService eb14236, PR-C: Policy/Profile/
Owner/Team 2497be4, PR-D: Job/Notification/Audit ccd89c3, PR-E: AgentService
283ec27, PR-F: this commit). PR-A through PR-E collapsed the service-layer
shim methods and deleted every in-production context.Background() /
context.TODO() call from internal/service/; this PR completes the sweep
across the non-service tiers (HTTP middleware + ACME connector) and wires
the contextcheck linter so regressions fail CI.
Three narrow edits land the D-3 pattern (context.WithoutCancel for
subsidiary async writes and deferred shutdown contexts):
- internal/api/middleware/audit.go -- async audit goroutine now runs
on auditCtx := context.WithoutCancel(r.Context()) instead of
context.Background(). Preserves request-scoped values (trace ID, auth)
while detaching from the request's cancellation so the audit write
does not get killed when the response completes. Goroutine is still
tracked via a.wg (M-1 shutdown drain) so Flush(ctx) behaviour is
unchanged. CWE-770 Missing Release (goroutine leak potential) +
CWE-400 Resource Exhaustion (missed cancellation propagation).
- internal/api/middleware/middleware.go -- Recovery panic path now
logs via slog.ErrorContext(ctx, ...) instead of log.Printf. Request-
scoped trace/auth metadata now carries through the panic log, matching
every other request log. D-3 non-bypass: the context is r.Context()
captured before the defer, so even a panic mid-handler propagates
the ctx's trace ID into the ERROR log line.
- internal/connector/issuer/acme/acme.go (HTTP-01 challenge server
shutdown) -- defer shutdown context derived from
context.WithTimeout(context.WithoutCancel(ctx), 5s) instead of
context.Background(). Preserves parent ctx values, detaches from
parent cancellation so Shutdown always gets its full 5-second
budget even when the parent was cancelled. Matches the same pattern
applied in ACME's solveAuthorizationsDNS01 and solveAuthorizationsDNSPersist01.
Linter wiring: .golangci.yml adds `contextcheck` to the enabled set.
golangci-lint v2.11.4 now fails CI on any function that takes a
context.Context parameter but calls into context.Background() or
context.TODO() instead of propagating -- regression guard for all five
prior PRs.

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.

Fixes 12 production bugs preventing the full issuance→deployment flow
from working with ACME (Pebble/Let's Encrypt) and step-ca issuers:
ACME connector (acme.go):
- Save orderURI before WaitOrder overwrites it (Go crypto/acme bug)
- Add CreateOrderCert fallback via WaitOrder+FetchCert
- Remove defer-reset in ValidateConfig that caused nil pointer panic
- Add Insecure TLS option for self-signed ACME servers (Pebble)
step-ca connector (stepca.go, jwe.go):
- Real JWE provisioner key loading + decryption (was using ephemeral keys)
- Fix JWT audience (/1.0/sign), sha claim (key fingerprint), kid header
- Custom root CA trust via RootCertPath config
- Remove hardcoded 90-day validity default (let step-ca decide)
NGINX target connector (nginx.go):
- Use sh -c for validate/reload commands (shell interpretation)
- Use filepath.Dir instead of fragile string slicing
- Add private key file writing (agent-mode keys were never deployed)
- Make chain_path write conditional
Server/service layer:
- TriggerRenewalWithActor now creates actual Job records (was no-op)
- createDeploymentJobs falls back to DB query when cert.TargetIDs empty
- ProcessPendingJobs skips agent-routed deployment jobs
- Agent cert pickup path parsing: len(parts)<4 → len(parts)<3
- Health/ready/auth-info endpoints bypass auth middleware
- Write timeout 15s→120s for ACME issuance
- Cert fingerprint computed on CSR submission
Integration test environment (deploy/test/):
- 10-phase test script covering Local CA, ACME, step-ca, revocation,
discovery, renewal, and API spot checks
- Docker Compose with 7 containers (server, agent, postgres, nginx,
pebble, challtestsrv, step-ca) on isolated network
- TLS verification checks SAN (not just Subject CN) for modern CA compat

- Updated AgentService interface to accept context.Context parameter in all methods
- Replaced context.Background() calls with proper ctx parameter in agent.go
- Updated AgentGroupService interface to accept context.Context parameter
- Replaced context.Background() calls with proper ctx parameter in agent_group.go
- Updated handler methods to pass r.Context() to service methods
- Context now properly propagates through request lifecycle for timeout/cancellation
- Improved request tracing and cancellation behavior
EAB credentials (KID + HMAC) were defined in the ACME connector config
but never wired into the acme.Account registration call. This fixes the
dead code and adds automatic EAB credential fetching for ZeroSSL — when
the directory URL is detected as ZeroSSL and no EAB credentials are
provided, certctl calls ZeroSSL's public API to get them automatically.
Changes:
- Wire EABKid/EABHmac into acme.Account.ExternalAccountBinding
- Add isZeroSSL() detection and fetchZeroSSLEAB() auto-fetch
- Add CERTCTL_ACME_EAB_KID/CERTCTL_ACME_EAB_HMAC env vars to main.go
- Add 13 ACME connector tests (config validation, EAB decode, ZeroSSL
auto-EAB with mock servers, URL detection)
- Update docs: README, architecture, connectors, demo-advanced,
testing-guide with EAB/auto-EAB documentation

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)

Backend:
- Embedded OCSP responder: GET /api/v1/ocsp/{issuer_id}/{serial} returns
signed OCSP responses (good/revoked/unknown) using CA key
- DER-encoded X.509 CRL: GET /api/v1/crl/{issuer_id} returns proper DER CRL
signed by issuing CA with 24h validity window
- Short-lived cert exemption: certs with profile TTL < 1 hour skip CRL/OCSP
(expiry is sufficient revocation for ephemeral workloads)
- Extended issuer connector interface with GenerateCRL and SignOCSPResponse
- Local CA implements full CRL/OCSP signing; ACME and step-ca return
appropriate "use native endpoint" errors
- IssuerConnectorAdapter bridges new methods between layers
Frontend:
- Revoke button on certificate detail page with RFC 5280 reason modal
- Revocation banner with reason display and timestamp
- Revocation status indicators in lifecycle section
- "Revoked" filter option in certificates list
- API client: revokeCertificate() function and Certificate type extensions
Tests: ~31 new tests across connector, service, handler, and adapter layers

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/...
