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

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

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.

- 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
Upgrade from Go 1.22 to 1.25 (minimum for MCP SDK, actively supported).
CI updated to match.
Codebase audit fixes:
- Local CA parseIP() now uses net.ParseIP — IP SANs no longer silently dropped
- Nil pointer guards in agent.go GetWorkWithTargets for target/cert enrichment
- MCP CreateCertificateInput marks owner_id/team_id as required
- NGINX connector uses CombinedOutput() — captures diagnostic output on failure
- Jobs handler validates JSON decode on rejection body — returns 400 on malformed
- CRL/OCSP handlers propagate requestID for error tracing
MCP server tests (26 tests):
- client_test.go: HTTP client coverage (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE, auth, 204, errors, binary)
- tools_test.go: tool registration, pagination, end-to-end flows with mock API

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.

All 10 service files now use slog.Error for failure logging instead of
fmt.Printf. Audit event recording errors are checked and logged rather
than silently discarded. Adds consistent structured context (resource IDs,
operation names) to all error log statements.

Fixes Go Report Card gofmt score from 52% to 100%.
Pure formatting changes — no logic modifications.

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

- Wire issuer connector end-to-end with IssuerConnectorAdapter (dependency inversion)
- Renewal/issuance job processor: RSA key + CSR generation, Local CA signing, cert version storage
- Agent work API (GET /agents/{id}/work) and job status API (POST /agents/{id}/jobs/{job_id}/status)
- Agent-side deployment: WorkItem enrichment with target type/config, NGINX/F5/IIS connector invocation
- Full ACME v2 implementation: HTTP-01 challenge solving, account registration, order lifecycle
- Update all docs (README, architecture, connectors, demo-advanced, quickstart) for M1-M2
- Fix go vet warning in deployment.go (non-constant format string)
