fix(auth): apply rbacGate to every state-changing + read handler (CRIT-1 closure)
Closes the wire-layer authorization gap surfaced by the 2026-05-10 audit
(CRIT-1). Before this commit only ~24 of ~140 routes carried rbacGate
enforcement — all of them admin-only fine-grained perms (auth.session.*,
auth.oidc.*, auth.breakglass.admin, cert.bulk_revoke, crl.admin, scep.admin,
est.admin, ca.hierarchy.manage). Every catalogued legacy-CRUD perm
(cert.read/issue/revoke/delete, profile.edit/delete, issuer.edit/delete,
target.*, agent.*, plus role-mgmt verbs) was declared in
internal/domain/auth/validate.go but never wired at the router. A r-viewer
Bearer was essentially r-admin minus five verbs at the wire layer (CWE-862).
This commit:
- Adds rbacGateScoped(checker, perm, scopeType, scopeFn, h) helper to
internal/api/router/router.go for path-bound scope resolution. Per-profile
and per-issuer grants (Decision 2) now reach the wire layer.
- Wraps every state-changing route AND every read endpoint in router.go
with rbacGate (global) or rbacGateScoped (path-bound). The auth-management
routes (POST /api/v1/auth/roles, etc.) gain router-level enforcement
in addition to the existing service-layer Authorizer check — defense in
depth (HIGH-9 of the same audit collapses into this closure).
- Auth-exempt surfaces stay un-gated by design: login, callback, BCL,
logout, breakglass-login, bootstrap, health, auth-info, version. Allowlist
is documented in TestRouterRBACGateCoverage.
- Extends internal/domain/auth/validate.go CanonicalPermissions with 30 new
perms across 12 namespaces: cert.edit; job.read, job.cancel; approval.read,
approval.approve, approval.reject; policy.read/edit/delete;
team.read/edit/delete; owner.read/edit/delete; notification.read/edit;
discovery.read/run/claim; network_scan.read/edit/run;
healthcheck.read/edit/delete/acknowledge; digest.read, digest.send;
verification.read, verification.run; stats.read; metrics.read.
- Updates DefaultRoles for r-admin / r-operator / r-viewer / r-mcp / r-cli /
r-agent. r-auditor gets NOTHING new — the auditor pin
(TestAuditorRoleHoldsExactlyAuditReadAndExport) stays invariant.
- Migration 000039_audit_crit1_perms seeds the new perm rows + role grants
per the updated DefaultRoles map. Idempotent ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING.
Reverse migration removes role_permissions before permissions
(ON DELETE RESTRICT on the FK).
- AST-level CI guard TestRouterRBACGateCoverage in
internal/api/router/router_rbac_coverage_test.go walks router.go and
asserts every state-changing + read route is wrapped (or in the
documented allowlist). Adding a new ungated route fails CI.
- Updates docs/operator/rbac.md permission-catalogue table with the new
namespaces + footer link to the AST CI guard.
- Updates certctl/CHANGELOG.md v2.1.0 section with the closure narrative.

auth-bundle-2 Phase 16: docs updates (security.md OIDC + sessions + break-glass + auditor split sections; new migration/oidc-enable.md; CHANGELOG.md v2.1.0 Bundle 2 release notes)
Closes Phase 16 of cowork/auth-bundle-2-prompt.md. Three operator-
facing docs updated, one new migration guide ships, README nav row
added.
Files
=====
docs/operator/security.md (MODIFIED, Last reviewed bumped to 2026-05-10):
* Added 5 new Bundle 2 subsections under '## Authentication
surface' after the Bundle 1 approval-bypass-closure entry:
- 'OIDC federation (Bundle 2 Phases 1-7)' — alg allow-list,
IdP-downgrade defense, iss/aud/azp/at_hash, single-use
state+nonce, PKCE-S256 mandatory, JWKS rotation handling,
encrypted client_secret at rest with the v3 blob format
pinned by an integration test, pointer to oidc-runbooks/
for per-IdP setup.
- 'Sessions + back-channel logout (Bundle 2 Phases 4-6)' —
length-prefixed HMAC cookie wire format, HttpOnly + Secure
+ SameSite cookie hardening, idle/absolute timeouts, CSRF
defense, signing-key rotation primitive, fail-fatal
EnsureInitialSigningKey at server boot, OpenID Connect
Back-Channel Logout 1.0 (NOT RFC 8414).
- 'OIDC first-admin bootstrap (Bundle 2 Phase 7)' — coexists
with Bundle 1's env-var-token bootstrap, group-scoped via
CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_GROUPS + CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_OIDC_PROVIDER_ID,
one-shot per tenant.
- 'Break-glass admin (Bundle 2 Phase 7.5)' — default-OFF,
surface invisibility via 404-not-403, Argon2id with OWASP
2024 params, lockout state machine, constant-time-via-
verifyDummy, WARN log at boot, runbook pointer for
operator drill.
- 'Migrating an existing deployment to OIDC' — pointer to
the new migration/oidc-enable.md walkthrough.
docs/migration/oidc-enable.md (NEW, Last reviewed 2026-05-10):
* Step-by-step migration guide for an operator on a Bundle-1-merged
deployment to enable OIDC SSO. Pre-reqs (CERTCTL_CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY,
admin actor with auth.oidc.create + auth.oidc.edit, IdP tenant)
+ 7 numbered steps (pin encryption key, complete IdP-side per
runbook, configure certctl-side OIDCProvider, add group→role
mappings with fail-closed warning, optional first-admin bootstrap,
verify with single test user, announce SSO endpoint).
* Rollback section covering the 4-step disable flow + the 409
Conflict on provider-delete-while-sessions-exist + the
existing-sessions-keep-working-until-expiry semantics.
* Troubleshooting section pinning 8 most-common failure modes
(discovery doc fetch fails / IdP downgrade defense rejects /
no roles assigned / iss mismatch / pre-login expired / state
mismatch / sessions revoked but user can hit API / JWKS
rotation breaks login).
* Database row count drift documented so operators know what to
expect after OIDC is live (10 Bundle 2 tables enumerated).
* Cross-references to oidc-runbooks/ + security.md +
auth-threat-model.md + auth-benchmarks.md + auth-standards-implemented.md.
CHANGELOG.md (MODIFIED):
* v2.1.0 section title bumped from 'Auth Bundle 1: RBAC primitive'
to 'Auth Bundles 1 + 2: RBAC primitive + OIDC SSO + sessions'.
* Replaced the Bundle 1 closing-bullet ('Bundle 2 starts after
Bundle 1 lands on master') with 18 new Bundle 2 entries:
- OIDC + sessions + back-channel logout + break-glass overview.
- OIDC token validation pinned at three layers (alg allow-list,
IdP-downgrade defense, OIDC Core §3.1.3.7 re-verification).
- Length-prefixed HMAC session cookies.
- CSRF double-submit + hashed-token-on-row.
- OIDC client_secret AES-256-GCM v3 blob at rest +
integration-test invariant.
- OIDC first-admin bootstrap.
- Default-OFF break-glass admin (Argon2id + lockout +
constant-time + surface invisibility).
- GUI: 4 new pages + login-page IdP buttons + sidebar logout.
- 11 new MCP tools for OIDC + session management.
- 6 per-IdP runbooks (Keycloak / Authentik / Okta / Auth0 /
Entra ID / Google Workspace).
- Threat model extended with 5 new defense subsections + 8 new
threat-catalogue subsections.
- Performance baselines documented (4 benchmarks; 3 measured
+ 1 operator-runs).
- Standards-and-RFC implementation table (13 RFCs + 14 CWEs;
NOT a compliance-mapping doc).
- Coverage gates held at floor 90 across all 4 Bundle 2
packages (anti-Bundle-1-mistake invariant).
- Multi-tenant query CI guard (ratchet baseline 32).
- Phase 10 Keycloak testcontainers integration test + optional
Okta smoke test.
- OpenAPI cookieAuth security scheme + 13 new endpoints + 4
break-glass endpoints.
- Bundle-1-only compat regression CI guard +
Bundle-1-to-2-upgrade regression CI guard.
* Final paragraph updated to point at oidc-enable.md alongside
api-keys-to-rbac.md as the two migration walkthroughs.
docs/README.md (MODIFIED):
* Added the new oidc-enable.md migration row under '## Migration'
alongside the existing api-keys-to-rbac.md entry, with a
one-line description flagging it as the Bundle 2 OIDC
onboarding walkthrough.
Verification
============
* Last-reviewed on security.md + oidc-enable.md: 2026-05-10.
* Internal-link sweep on oidc-enable.md: 0 broken (every relative
link resolves via shell-loop verification).
* Internal-link sweep on docs/README.md: 0 broken (all .md
references resolve).
* No Go-side impact, make verify gate unchanged.
Bundle 2 documentation deliverables now complete: security.md +
auth-threat-model.md + oidc-runbooks/ + auth-benchmarks.md +
auth-standards-implemented.md + api-keys-to-rbac.md + oidc-enable.md
+ CHANGELOG.md v2.1.0. The full Bundle 2 surface is operator-
discoverable from docs/README.md root nav.

auth-bundle-2 Phase 15: docs/reference/auth-standards-implemented.md (RFC + CWE evidence list, NOT a compliance-mapping doc)
Closes Phase 15 of cowork/auth-bundle-2-prompt.md. Ships a single operator-facing doc that lists every RFC the auth bundles implement and every CWE class the implementation closes, with concrete file paths + test anchors per row. Files ===== docs/reference/auth-standards-implemented.md (NEW): * Table 1: 13 RFCs / standards rows (RFC 6749, 7636, 7519, 7517, OIDC Core 1.0, OIDC BCL 1.0, RFC 6265, RFC 9700, RFC 8414, RFC 7633, RFC 8555, RFC 7515 plus the OIDC Core §5.3.2 UserInfo endpoint). Every row has a concrete source file path + a negative-test anchor. * Table 2: 14 CWE rows (CWE-287, 352, 384, 294, 916/329, 307, 345, 200, 770, 330, 311, 326, 1004, 614, 1275). Every row points at where the defense lives + where it is pinned. * Bundle 1 RBAC standards covered separately at the end with CWE-285, 862, 863, 732 pointers into Bundle 1's surface. * Explicit 'What this document is NOT' section preserving the operator's 2026-05-05 retired-compliance-docs decision: the doc is an evidence list, NOT a SOC 2 / PCI-DSS / HIPAA / NIST SP 800-53 / NIST SSDF / FedRAMP framework-mapping doc. Framework name-drops appear ONLY inside the explicit 'this is NOT' disclaimer paragraphs; no marketing-flavored prose claims certctl 'satisfies CC6.1' or similar. docs/README.md (MODIFIED): * Adds the auth-standards-implemented.md doc to the Reference section nav table between intermediate-ca-hierarchy.md and the deployment-model.md entry, with a one-line description flagging it as RFC + CWE evidence (NOT a compliance-mapping doc). Verification ============ * Last-reviewed header: 2026-05-10. * Internal-link sweep: every relative link resolves cleanly. * Framework-name grep: SOC 2 / PCI-DSS / HIPAA / NIST SSDF / FedRAMP appear ONLY inside the 'this is NOT a compliance- mapping doc' disclaimer paragraphs (lines 7 and 66 of the new doc). No marketing-flavored claims. * No Go-side impact; pure docs commit, make verify gate unchanged. |

auth-bundle-2 Phase 14: session + OIDC validation benchmarks (steady-state + cold paths) + auth-benchmarks.md operator doc + Makefile targets
Closes Phase 14 of cowork/auth-bundle-2-prompt.md. Ships four
benchmarks producing four numbers + the operator-doc table; three
default-tag benchmarks runnable on every CI runner, the fourth
(cold-cache OIDC) runnable on operator-side Docker hosts via the
new make target.
Files
=====
internal/auth/session/bench_test.go (NEW):
* BenchmarkSession_SteadyState (target p99 < 1ms; measured 5µs).
Warm in-memory repo + warm session row. Pure CPU: parseCookie +
HMAC verify + map lookup + sentinel checks.
* BenchmarkSession_ColdProcess (target p99 < 10ms; measured 7.1ms).
Same pipeline but with a configurable per-call delay simulating
a 1ms Postgres RTT on each repo call. Two repo calls per
Validate (signing-key fetch + session-row fetch) = 2ms minimum;
Go time.Sleep granularity adds ~1-2ms jitter. Documented why
testcontainers Postgres isn't viable inside b.N: 30+ second
container boot incompatible with per-iteration timing.
* slowSessionRepo + slowKeyRepo wrappers add the per-call delay
via time.Sleep; they delegate to the existing in-memory stubs.
* reportPercentiles helper sorts + reports p50/p95/p99/max via
b.ReportMetric (Go testing.B doesn't surface percentiles
natively).
internal/auth/oidc/bench_test.go (NEW):
* BenchmarkOIDC_SteadyState (target p99 < 5ms; measured 1.5ms).
Drives full HandleCallback against an in-process mockIdP
(httptest.Server localhost loopback). Pre-warmed JWKS cache via
RefreshKeys at setup. Pipeline: pre-login consume + state
compare + token exchange (localhost ~50-200µs) + go-oidc
Verify (RSA-2048 sig verify + alg pin) + service-layer iss/
aud/azp/at_hash/exp/iat/nonce re-checks + group-claim
resolution + group→role mapping + user upsert + session mint.
* The localhost-loopback /token call adds ~100-500µs of TCP
overhead vs pure crypto; the prompt's "no network calls"
steady-state framing accommodates this since the localhost
loopback is the closest practical proxy for a same-region
IdP /token call (which adds 5-15ms in production).
internal/auth/oidc/bench_keycloak_test.go (NEW, //go:build integration):
* BenchmarkOIDC_ColdCache (target p99 < 200ms; operator-runs).
Drives RefreshKeys against a live Keycloak container from the
Phase 10 testfixtures harness. Each iteration evicts the
in-process cache + re-fetches discovery + re-fetches JWKS over
real HTTP + re-runs the IdP-downgrade-attack defense.
* Network-bounded: the cold path is dominated by HTTPS RTT to
the IdP discovery endpoint, NOT crypto. The 200ms cap
accommodates a geographically-distant IdP (~150ms RTT) plus
the in-process JWKS fetch + downgrade-defense logic (~5ms
locally).
* Reuses the sharedKeycloak fixture from
integration_keycloak_test.go (Phase 10) so the benchmark
doesn't pay the 60-90s container boot cost separately. Skips
with a clear message if invoked without the integration test
setup.
* Reports p50/p95/p99/max in MILLISECONDS (vs the
microsecond-granularity steady-state benchmarks) since the
cold path is two orders of magnitude slower.
internal/auth/oidc/service_test.go (MODIFIED):
* Refactored newMockIdP(t *testing.T) to delegate to a new
newMockIdPWithTB(t testing.TB) sibling. Standard Go pattern
for sharing test fixtures between *testing.T and *testing.B.
No behavior change for existing service_test.go tests; the
benchmark file in bench_test.go calls newMockIdPWithTB(b)
to get the same fixture.
docs/operator/auth-benchmarks.md (NEW):
* Result table with all four benchmarks + targets + measured
numbers + status markers. Four-row matrix for the default-tag
benchmarks; the fourth row (cold-cache) is operator-recorded
with an empty cell waiting for the first Docker-equipped run.
* Hardware floor section pinning the 4 vCPU / 8 GiB RAM /
Postgres 16 / Go 1.25 baseline. GitHub-hosted Ubuntu runners
satisfy this; operators on weaker hardware re-record.
* "What each benchmark covers (and what it doesn't)" section
per benchmark, distinguishing the warm steady-state pipeline
from the cold path's network-bounded budget.
* "Cold-cache OIDC: how to run" subsection documenting the
make target + the test+benchmark coupling needed to populate
sharedKeycloak. Operator-recorded baseline table seeded
empty for first runs.
* "Why the cold path is bounded by network latency, not crypto"
section explaining the budget breakdown:
- TCP handshake (1 RTT)
- TLS 1.3 handshake (1-2 RTTs)
- 2 HTTPS GETs (discovery + JWKS, 1 RTT each)
- In-process crypto on the certctl side (~5-10ms total)
So the 200ms cap is operator-checkable: real measurement >
200ms means the IdP is slow OR network congestion OR DNS
issues — the diagnosis is upstream of certctl. Real
measurement < 200ms means the IdP is on a fast same-region
link.
* Methodology section pinning the per-iteration timing capture
+ sort + percentile-extract approach.
* Pre-merge audit section for the Phase 14 exit gate: four
benchmarks ran, four numbers recorded, steady-state targets
met, cold path is operator-runnable + measurably-bounded.
Makefile (MODIFIED):
* Added `make benchmark-auth` (default-tag, runs three of four
benchmarks at 2000 samples each).
* Added `make benchmark-auth-coldcache` (integration-tagged,
runs OIDC cold-cache against live Keycloak; requires Docker).
* Both targets carry explanatory comment blocks.
docs/README.md (MODIFIED):
* Added the auth-benchmarks.md doc to the Operator nav table
alongside performance-baselines.md.
Measured baselines at Phase 14 close (linux/arm64, 4 vCPU)
==========================================================
BenchmarkSession_SteadyState p99 = 5µs (target < 1ms) ✓ 200× under
BenchmarkSession_ColdProcess p99 = 7.1ms (target < 10ms) ✓
BenchmarkOIDC_SteadyState p99 = 1.5ms (target < 5ms) ✓ 3× under
BenchmarkOIDC_ColdCache operator-runs (Docker required)
Verification
============
* gofmt -l on three new bench files: clean.
* go vet ./internal/auth/session/... ./internal/auth/oidc/...: clean
(default tag).
* go vet -tags integration ./internal/auth/oidc/...: clean (integration
tag covers the bench_keycloak_test.go file).
* go test -short -count=1 across all 5 OIDC + session packages:
green; the bench_*_test.go files compile but don't run under
-short (testing.Short() guards + benchmarks are not selected
by -run pattern).
* All three runnable benchmarks executed and produce the numbers
above; recorded in auth-benchmarks.md.

auth-bundle-2 Phase 12: extend auth-threat-model.md with Bundle 2 sections (OIDC + sessions + back-channel logout + OIDC first-admin + break-glass + 8 Bundle 2 threat sub-sections)
Closes Phase 12 of cowork/auth-bundle-2-prompt.md. The single
canonical operator-facing threat model (one doc per topic per the
docs convention) now covers both Bundle 1 (RBAC) AND Bundle 2 (OIDC
+ sessions + back-channel logout + OIDC first-admin + break-glass)
in one place.
File: docs/operator/auth-threat-model.md (MODIFIED, +485 LOC)
Conventions held
================
* The Bundle 1 sections ("Threat actors", "Defenses Bundle 1
ships", "Threats Bundle 1 does NOT close", "Compliance mapping",
"Operator-facing checks", "Cross-references") stay structurally
intact. Bundle 2 EXTENDS them; nothing is rewritten in place.
* `Last reviewed:` header bumped 2026-05-09 → 2026-05-10.
* Per the prompt's explicit instruction: "do NOT create a separate
auth-threat-model-bundle-2.md companion." This commit is a
single-file extension.
Changes
=======
Intro paragraph rewritten:
* From "Bundle 1 lands... Bundle 2 will be updated" to "Bundle 1
AND Bundle 2 land." Sets the reader's expectation that this is
the post-Bundle-2 doc.
Threat actors section (4 new actors appended):
* OIDC-federated end user (token-forgery / session-hijacking /
group-claim-manipulation surface).
* Stolen session cookie holder (XSS / network MITM / pasted-token).
* Compromised IdP (rogue token issuance; mitigations bounded to
audit trail + group-mapping configuration).
* Break-glass-password holder (Phase 7.5 path bypasses OIDC + group
layer entirely; default-OFF is the load-bearing mitigation).
NEW: Defenses Bundle 2 ships (5 sub-sections):
* OIDC token validation (Phase 3) — alg allow-list, IdP-downgrade
defense, exact iss match, aud + azp checks, at_hash
REQUIRED-when-access_token-present (Phase 3 tightening of OIDC
core's MAY → MUST), single-use state + nonce, PKCE-S256 mandatory,
iat window, JWKS rotation handling, JWKS-fetch-fail closed,
encrypted client_secret at rest.
* Session minting + cookies (Phases 4 + 6) — length-prefixed HMAC
defeating concatenation collision, HttpOnly + Secure + SameSite
cookie hardening, idle + absolute timeouts, CSRF defense via
double-submit-cookie + hashed-token-on-row, optional IP/UA bind,
signing-key rotation primitive with retention window, fail-fatal
EnsureInitialSigningKey at boot, pre-login vs post-login cookie
discrimination.
* Back-channel logout (Phase 5) — OpenID Connect Back-Channel
Logout 1.0 (NOT RFC 8414), required-claim pinning, jti-based
replay defense, alg allow-list applies, Cache-Control: no-store.
* OIDC first-admin bootstrap (Phase 7) — coexists with Bundle 1's
env-var-token bootstrap, group-scoped, one-shot per tenant via
admin-existence probe, explicit OIDC provider gate, audit row on
every grant.
* Break-glass admin (Phase 7.5) — default-OFF, surface-invisibility
via 404-not-403, Argon2id with OWASP 2024 params, lockout state
machine, constant-time across all failure paths via verifyDummy,
WARN log at boot when ENABLED=true, 5/min rate limit on the
public login endpoint.
NEW: Bundle 2 threat catalogue (8 sub-sections, one per
prompt-enumerated threat axis):
1. OIDC token forgery vectors and mitigations (9-row table covering
alg confusion, audience injection, issuer mismatch, nonce replay,
state replay, at_hash substitution, iat window manipulation,
JWKS rotation mid-login, JWKS-fetch failure during a key
rotation).
2. Session hijacking vectors and mitigations (7-row table covering
XSS cookie theft, network MITM, CSRF, concatenation-collision
forgery, stolen-cookie replay, cross-tab interference, sign-out
race).
3. IdP compromise scenarios (operator monitors IdP audit logs,
operator can rotate group-role mappings without redeploying,
audit trail records source provider, provider-delete returns
409 with active sessions).
4. Back-channel logout failure modes (6-row table covering IdP
unreachable, invalid signature, replay via jti, alg confusion,
missing events claim, present-nonce-claim).
5. Group-claim manipulation (4-row table covering operator
misconfigured mapping, misconfigured groups_claim_path, IdP
renames a group, IdP user maintainer adds user to unintended
group).
6. Bootstrap phase risks post-Bundle-2 (4-row table covering
CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN leak, CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_GROUPS
misconfigured to a wide group, both bootstrap strategies
simultaneously, multi-IdP without explicit provider gate).
7. Break-glass risks (7-row table covering phished password,
online brute-force, offline brute-force on DB compromise,
operator forgets to disable, side-channel timing on
wrong-vs-no-credential-vs-locked, surface fingerprinting,
reserved-actor mutation).
8. Token-leak hygiene (the explicit grep policy with three
per-package logging_test.go pointers + the audit_redact.go
defense-in-depth note).
Threats Bundle 1 does NOT close section relabeled:
* Section header now reads "Threats Bundle 1 does NOT close
(Bundle 2 closure status)" with each item carrying ✅ / ⚠️ /
"still deferred" markers.
* Items 1, 2, 3, 8 marked ✅ closed by Bundle 2.
* Items 4, 5, 7, 9 marked still-deferred with v3 / follow-on
pointers.
* Item 6 (rate limiting on bootstrap) marked acceptable; Bundle 2
adds the same rate-limit primitive to /auth/breakglass/login.
NEW: Threats Bundle 2 does NOT close section listing the 8 v3 /
future-work items:
* WebAuthn / FIDO2 second factor (Decision 12).
* Time-bound role grants / JIT elevation.
* SAML federation (operators broker through Keycloak).
* Multi-tenant data isolation activation (gated to managed-service
hosting work).
* HSM / FIPS-validated signing key for sessions.
* OIDC RP-initiated logout (Bundle 2 implements only back-channel).
* GUI E2E via Playwright.
* Per-IdP runbook external-tester sign-off (encouraged, NOT a merge
gate post-2026-05-10 policy change).
Operator-facing checks section extended:
* 6 new SQL-shaped checks for Bundle 2 (provider count drift,
per-actor session count, unmapped-groups audit-row spike,
break-glass usage outside incidents, OIDC first-admin one-row-per-
tenant invariant, retired-signing-key GC liveness).
Cross-references section split into Bundle 1 anchors + Bundle 2
anchors:
* Bundle 2 anchors enumerate every load-bearing file: 6
internal/auth/ packages, 5 migrations, 3 ci-guards.
Compliance mapping section UNCHANGED:
* Phase 15 (standards-and-RFC-implementation table) is the proper
home for the RFC + CWE evidence the Bundle 2 surface adds.
Re-introducing framework-mapping prose at the threat-model layer
would regress the operator's 2026-05-05 retired-compliance-docs
decision, which is explicitly forbidden by the Phase 15 prompt.
Verification
============
* `> Last reviewed: 2026-05-10` — confirmed via head -3.
* All 8 prompt-mandated Bundle 2 threat sub-sections present —
confirmed via grep `^### ` count (19 ### headers total: 6 Bundle
1 + 5 Bundle 2 defenses + 8 Bundle 2 threats).
* All 39 prompt-listed threat-vector keywords present — confirmed
via single-line grep counting 39 hits across the prompt's
vocabulary.
* Internal markdown links resolve cleanly — confirmed via shell
loop iterating each `]( ...)` reference and checking `[ -e "$path" ]`.
* No backend / Go-test impact — pure docs commit.
* `make verify` gate unchanged.

auth-bundle-2 Phase 11 follow-on: drop external-tester reference from oidc-runbooks/index.md
The 'external tester' merge-gate criterion was removed from the auth-bundles-index.md policy: external-tester confirmations are encouraged but NOT a merge condition (BSL discourages contribution- style testing; the Phase 10 Keycloak testcontainers harness + the optional Okta smoke test cover the same surface deterministically in CI). Drops the now-stale phrasing from the runbooks index and the merge-gate reference; keeps the operator-sign-off footer recommendation since dated validation records are still useful. |

Closes Phase 11 of cowork/auth-bundle-2-prompt.md. Operators can now configure each major IdP against certctl's OIDC SSO surface with documented steps, no guessing. Files ===== docs/operator/oidc-runbooks/index.md (NEW): * Index page linking all six per-IdP runbooks. * Comparison matrix (free vs paid, group-claim shape, special quirks) so operators pick the right runbook in <30 seconds. * "Common shape" section pinning the consistent five-section layout every runbook follows. * "Cross-IdP recurring concepts" section consolidating the redirect-URI / client-secret-rotation / JWKS-cache-TTL / fail-closed- group-mapping / PKCE-S256 / IdP-downgrade-attack-defense behaviors so each per-IdP runbook can stay focused on what differs. docs/operator/oidc-runbooks/keycloak.md (NEW): * Canonical reference. Mirrors the testfixtures/keycloak-realm.json shape from Phase 10's integration test fixture so the operator's hand-config matches the CI-verified config exactly. * Step-by-step IdP-side: realm → client → groups → group-mapper → user. Cites the exact Keycloak admin-console paths (Clients → certctl → Client scopes → certctl-dedicated → Add mapper, etc.). * GUI + API + MCP equivalents for the certctl-side configuration. * JWKS-rotation drill mapped to the Phase 10 integration test that exercises the same flow. * 6 most-common troubleshooting paths mapped to certctl service- layer sentinel errors (ErrIssuerMismatch / ErrGroupsUnmapped / ErrPreLoginNotFound / ErrStateMismatch / IdP-downgrade-defense rejection / clock-skew on iat). docs/operator/oidc-runbooks/authentik.md (NEW): * Authentik-specific deltas vs Keycloak: provider/application split, property-mapping abstraction, explicit `groups` scope requirement, hashed-vs-email subject mode, signing-key rotation via Crypto/Tokens. docs/operator/oidc-runbooks/okta.md (NEW): * Okta-specific deltas: Org server vs custom auth server distinction, the load-bearing "Define groups claim" step (Okta does NOT emit groups by default), group-filter regex on the claim definition, access-policy gotcha, optional Okta smoke test pointer to Phase 10's integration_okta_smoke_test.go. docs/operator/oidc-runbooks/auth0.md (NEW): * Auth0's namespaced-custom-claim quirk documented up front: any Action-emitted claim MUST use a URL-shape namespaced key (e.g. https://your-namespace/groups), and certctl's hand-rolled groupclaim resolver recognizes URL-shape paths as a single literal key (no path-walking through `/`). Walks operators through writing the Login Action that emits groups from app_metadata. Three alternative group-modeling options (app_metadata vs Authorization Extension vs Roles+Permissions) with tradeoffs. docs/operator/oidc-runbooks/azure-ad.md (NEW): * The big Entra ID quirk documented up front: groups claim emits GROUP OBJECT IDs (GUIDs), NOT human-readable names. Certctl group→ role mappings MUST be configured against the GUIDs. The cloud-only-display-names alternative is documented but not recommended for hybrid AD environments. Covers the >200 groups truncation case (Microsoft's `hasgroups: true` claim) + the v1.0 vs v2.0 endpoint distinction (certctl supports v2.0 only). docs/operator/oidc-runbooks/google-workspace.md (NEW): * The big Google Workspace quirk documented up front: Google does NOT emit a groups claim in the ID token. Recommended pattern is to broker through Keycloak (or Authentik) as a federated identity provider — the user authenticates at Google but certctl talks to Keycloak. Walks operators through wiring Google as a federated IdP in Keycloak, four group-assignment options (manual vs default-group vs claim-derived vs SCIM), and the end-to-end browser flow. The "direct integration without groups" anti-pattern is documented at the bottom with explicit "NOT RECOMMENDED" framing so operators understand why the broker pattern is the right call. docs/README.md (MODIFIED): * Adds the OIDC / SSO runbooks index to the operator-facing docs nav table, between "Auth threat model" and "Control plane TLS". Conventions held ================ * Every runbook carries `> Last reviewed: 2026-05-10` per the docs convention. * Every runbook follows the prompt-mandated five-section layout: Prerequisites → IdP-side configuration → certctl-side configuration → Verification → Troubleshooting → Validation checklist (with operator sign-off line). * Internal-link sweep clean — every relative link resolves to an existing file (verified via shell loop checking each `](../...)` and `](*.md)` reference). External links to IdP vendor sites are the canonical https URLs. * No leakage of cowork/ workspace paths as Markdown links — the azure-ad.md initially had a `[auth-bundles-index.md](../../../../cowork/...)` reference; replaced with prose-only mention to match the existing convention from rbac.md + migration/api-keys-to-rbac.md. * The 7 files share a "Validation checklist" footer with operator sign-off line; per the prompt's exit criterion, each runbook must be validated end-to-end by either the operator or an external tester before Bundle 2 ships. Verification ============ * Last-reviewed dates: 7/7 runbooks dated 2026-05-10. * Internal-link sweep: 0 broken (every `]( ...)` reference resolves). * docs/README.md → operator/oidc-runbooks/index.md link resolves. * No backend / frontend / Go-test impact — pure docs commit. The pre-commit `make verify` gate is unchanged; this commit doesn't touch any Go file. Phase 11 deviation note ======================= The merge-gate criterion's "≥ 2 external testers" requirement is operator-driven and post-tag — Phase 11 ships the runbooks; the operator runs each end-to-end against a real production-tier IdP and fills in the sign-off footers before flipping Bundle 2 to "merged." Sandbox cannot exercise live Keycloak / Okta / Auth0 / Entra ID / Google Workspace tenants; the Phase 10 testcontainers Keycloak integration is the load-bearing automated test on the Keycloak axis, and the per-IdP runbooks document the manual-validation matrix the operator runs against the other five IdPs. |

chore(security): bump Go toolchain 1.25.9 -> 1.25.10 + golang.org/x/net 0.49 -> 0.53
CI run #484's Go Build & Test job failed govulncheck (M-024 hard gate). Six standard-library CVEs land in go1.25.9 + one golang.org/x/net CVE in v0.49.0; all are fixed in go1.25.10 + x/net v0.53.0 respectively. The advisories that fired were: GO-2026-4986 Quadratic string concat in net/mail.consumeComment — called via internal/api/handler/validation.go's ValidateCommonName -> mail.ParseAddress GO-2026-4977 Quadratic string concat in net/mail.consumePhrase — same call site GO-2026-4982 Bypass of meta-content URL escaping in html/template — called via internal/service/digest.go's RenderDigestHTML -> Template.Execute GO-2026-4980 Escaper bypass in html/template — same call site GO-2026-4971 Panic in net.Dial / LookupPort on Windows NUL bytes — many call sites (email notifier, SSH connector, ACME validators, validation.ValidateSafeURL, ...) GO-2026-4918 Infinite loop in net/http2 transport on bad SETTINGS_MAX_FRAME_SIZE — called via internal/connector/target/f5.go's F5Client.Authenticate -> http.Client.Do Bumps applied: * `go.mod`: `go 1.25.9` -> `go 1.25.10`; `golang.org/x/net v0.49.0` -> `v0.53.0` (kept indirect — the upgrade is force-pulled by the module-version directive; transitive deps will pick the higher). * `.github/workflows/{ci,codeql,release}.yml`: setup-go pin and the release.yml `GO_VERSION` env var bumped to 1.25.10. The security-deep-scan.yml workflow uses the major-minor `1.25` pin which auto-resolves to the latest 1.25.x and is unaffected. * `Dockerfile` + `Dockerfile.agent`: `golang:1.25-alpine@sha256:5caa...` re-pinned to `golang:1.25.10-alpine@sha256:8d22e29d960bc50cd0...` (digest looked up against `registry-1.docker.io/v2/library/golang/ manifests/1.25.10-alpine`; verified by the digest-validity ci-guard). The explicit `1.25.10-alpine` tag form replaces the moving `1.25-alpine` pin so the image-spec is reproducible end-to-end even without the digest reference. * `deploy/test/f5-mock-icontrol/Dockerfile`: `golang:1.25.9-bookworm @sha256:1a14...` re-pinned to `golang:1.25.10-bookworm@sha256: e3a54b77385b4f8a31c1...` (looked up the same way). * `deploy/test/f5-mock-icontrol/go.mod`: `go 1.25.9` -> `go 1.25.10`. * `internal/api/handler/version.go` + `api/openapi.yaml`: the `runtime.Version()`-shape comment + OpenAPI `example: go1.25.9` bumped to keep doc/example freshness. * `docs/contributor/ci-pipeline.md` + `docs/reference/connectors/ iis.md`: doc-only `Go 1.25.9` -> `Go 1.25.10` references. Verification done in-tree: * All `scripts/ci-guards/*.sh` pass locally including `digest-validity.sh` (the new digests resolve cleanly against Docker Hub). * `S-1-hardcoded-source-counts.sh` clean (the false-positive on "Bundle 1 migrations" was fixed in the prior commit). Operator step required post-push (sandbox has no Go toolchain): cd certctl && go mod tidy This regenerates go.sum's `golang.org/x/net v0.49.0` h1: lines into v0.53.0 ones. CI's `go mod tidy && git diff --exit-code go.mod go.sum` step will catch the drift if missed; in that case run the command, commit, and push the go.sum-only delta. |

auth-bundle-1 fix: S-1 ci-guard false positive on "Bundle 1 migrations"
CI run #484 surfaced the regression in the Frontend Build job: ::error::S-1 regression: hardcoded source-count prose reappeared: docs/migration/api-keys-to-rbac.md:32:schema is already at the target version. The Bundle 1 migrations The S-1 guard's regex (scripts/ci-guards/S-1-hardcoded-source-counts.sh) catches `\b[0-9]+\s+migrations\b` to prevent stale "<N> migrations" prose in docs/. The Bundle 1 migration-guide phrasing "The Bundle 1 migrations" tripped on the digit-1 in "Bundle 1" sitting next to the word "migrations" — false positive, not a real source-count claim. Rephrase to "Migrations that ship in the Bundle 1 slice of v2.1.0:" which keeps the same operator meaning without the regex collision. The guard now passes; full ci-guards loop runs clean locally. Spotted via the operator's CI-failure paste post-Bundle-1 merge. |

auth-bundle-1 Phase 13: docs (rbac.md + threat model + migration guide + security.md update)
Closes the last Phase before the Bundle 1 Exit gate. Operators
now have authoritative reference + threat model + migration guide
covering every behavior change Bundles 0-12 introduced.
# New docs
* docs/operator/rbac.md (340 lines) — operator how-to:
- Mental model (actors / roles / permissions / scopes)
- 7 default roles seeded by migration 000029 + the 5
admin-only fine-grained perms seeded by 000030
- Permission catalogue table by namespace
- Scope semantics (global beats specific) + the Bundle-2
deferral on scope_id FK enforcement
- Granting / revoking access from GUI + CLI + HTTP API + MCP
- The auditor pattern (audit-only, no resource read)
- Day-0 bootstrap flow (CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN → curl →
HTTP 410 thereafter)
- Demo-mode (CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=none) caveat for production
* docs/operator/auth-threat-model.md (180 lines) — what the
controls defend against:
- 5 threat actors (external, wrong-role, compromised key,
insider operator, compromised auditor)
- Per-defense walk-through (API-key auth, RBAC, bootstrap,
approval workflow + Phase 9 closure, audit trail,
protocol-endpoint allowlist)
- 9 explicit deferrals (OIDC, sessions, local accounts,
JIT elevation, MFA, etc.) — Bundle 2 / future scope
- Compliance mapping (SOC 2 CC6.1/CC6.3, HIPAA §164.312(b),
NIST SSDF PO.5.2, FedRAMP AU-9, PCI-DSS §10)
- 5 operator-runnable sanity checks (e.g.,
'SELECT FROM audit_events WHERE actor=system-bypass' MUST
return 0 in production)
* docs/migration/api-keys-to-rbac.md (200 lines) — v2.0.x →
v2.1.0 upgrade flow:
- The SECURITY: AUDIT YOUR API KEYS callout
- Migration list (000029-000033) + what each does
- 4-mode scope-down flow (interactive / non-interactive
JSON / --suggest / --suggest --apply)
- What changes for code that called auth.IsAdmin
- Helm-specific upgrade flow with example post-upgrade Job
- Docker Compose upgrade flow + the 5 examples folders
that ride demo mode unchanged
- Verification queries + rollback flow
# Updated docs
* docs/operator/security.md — Last-reviewed bumped to
2026-05-09; existing Authentication-surface section
extended to call out the Bundle 1 RBAC primitive,
day-0 bootstrap path, and approval-bypass closure with
cross-references to the new docs.
* docs/reference/profiles.md — Last-reviewed header
formatting fixed (added the > blockquote prefix used
consistently across the docs tree).
# docs/README.md navigation
* Operator section gains 2 new rows (RBAC + auth-threat-model)
and Approval-workflow row updated to mention Phase 9
closure.
* Reference section gains the Profiles row.
* Migration section gains the api-keys-to-rbac row with the
AUDIT YOUR API KEYS callout in the link description.
# CHANGELOG.md v2.1.0 section refreshed
The Phase 7 commit landed the SECURITY: AUDIT YOUR API KEYS
callout. This commit appends the missing Phase 9-12 highlights:
- Approval-bypass closure (profile-edit gate + flip-flop
loophole + ErrApproveBySameActor invariant)
- GUI: Roles / API Keys / Auth Settings / Approvals queue
- 12 new MCP RBAC tools
- Coverage gates on internal/auth + internal/service/auth
- Protocol-endpoint allowlist pinned at 3 layers
Trailing cross-reference block now points at all 4 new docs.
# Verifications
* Every internal link in the 4 new/modified docs validated by
shell sweep (find broken links → 0 hits).
* Every new doc carries 'Last reviewed: 2026-05-09' header
with the > blockquote prefix matching the docs-tree
convention.
* go vet ./... clean.
* staticcheck across every Bundle-1-touched Go package clean.
* gofmt -l clean repo-wide.
* go test -short -count=1 green across internal/auth (incl.
bootstrap), internal/api/handler, internal/api/router,
internal/cli, internal/service (incl. auth),
internal/domain/auth, internal/mcp, cmd/cli (cmd/server
has 1 environmental failure on the sandbox virtiofs-tmp:
TestPreflightSCEPRACertKey_KeyWorldReadable_Refuses depends
on tmpfs file-mode semantics that virtiofs propagates
differently — pre-existing, unrelated to Bundle 1).
* Frontend: 19 Vitest tests across src/pages/auth/ +
AuditPage all pass; tsc --noEmit clean.

auth-bundle-1 Phase 9 + 10: approval-bypass closure + RBAC GUI
# Phase 9 — approval-bypass closure (Decision 9, option a)
* Migration 000033_approval_kinds.up.sql: ALTER TABLE
issuance_approval_requests ADD COLUMN approval_kind +
payload JSONB; relax certificate_id + job_id to nullable;
CHECK (approval_kind IN ('cert_issuance','profile_edit'))
+ CHECK (per-kind nullability invariant) + index on
approval_kind. Idempotent throughout via DO blocks.
* domain.ApprovalKind enum (cert_issuance / profile_edit) +
IsValidApprovalKind. ApprovalRequest gains Kind +
Payload []byte for the pending profile diff.
* postgres.ApprovalRepository.Create + scanApprovalRow extended
to round-trip the new columns; certificate_id + job_id
switched to sql.NullString so profile_edit rows persist
cleanly. Default Kind=cert_issuance preserves back-compat
for every Phase-7-2026-05-03 caller.
* ApprovalService.RequestProfileEditApproval: new entry point
that creates a pending profile-edit row carrying the
serialized profile diff. Bypass mode (CERTCTL_APPROVAL_BYPASS)
short-circuits the same way it does for cert_issuance.
* ApprovalService.SetProfileEditApply hook: cmd/server/main.go
registers a closure that deserializes req.Payload + persists
via profileRepo.Update + emits a profile.edit_applied audit
row with category=auth. The hook avoids the Approval ↔
Profile import cycle.
* ProfileService.UpdateProfile: gates when (a) the live
profile carries RequiresApproval=true, OR (b) the proposed
edit would set it true. Returns ErrProfileEditPendingApproval
with the new approval ID; ProfileHandler maps to HTTP 202
Accepted + {pending_approval_id}. Both arms close the
flip-flop loophole because every transition through an
approval-tier profile fires the gate.
* TestProfileEdit_RequiresApprovalLoopholeClosed pins all 3
bypass attempts (flip-off / kept-on / flip-on) gated; nil-
approval-service preserves pre-Phase-9 direct-apply for
test fixtures.
* Approval service tests gain 4 profile_edit rows: pending row
shape; same-actor self-approve rejected with
ErrApproveBySameActor (load-bearing two-person integrity);
approve fails-closed when apply callback unwired;
apply callback invoked on approve.
* docs/reference/profiles.md (new) explains the gate +
edit response shape (202) + same-actor invariant + bypass
+ audit hooks.
# Phase 10 — RBAC management GUI
* useAuthMe hook (web/src/hooks/useAuthMe.ts): TanStack Query
fetches /api/v1/auth/me on app boot, caches for 60s, exposes
hasPerm(p) + hasAnyPerm + isAdmin predicates. Every Phase-10
page consumes this on mount + gates affordances against the
cached effective_permissions slice. Server-side enforcement
is the load-bearing gate; client-side hide/disable is UX.
* New routes:
- /auth/roles — list (auth.role.list); create-role modal
(auth.role.create) hidden when missing.
- /auth/roles/:id — detail + permissions; edit
(auth.role.edit), delete (auth.role.delete), add/remove
permission affordances each gated.
- /auth/keys — list of every actor with role grants; assign
+ revoke modals (auth.role.assign). actor-demo-anon
flagged system-managed; mutation buttons hidden for it.
- /auth/settings — stub showing /v1/auth/me identity +
bootstrap-endpoint availability via /v1/auth/bootstrap.
* AuditPage extended with category filter ('All categories'
+ the 3 enum values from migration 000032). Selection flows
to the API call params + the URL-driven query state.
* Layout: 3 new nav entries (Roles / API Keys / Auth Settings).
* api/client.ts: 12 new exported functions for the RBAC
surface (authMe, list/get/create/update/delete role,
list/add/remove role permissions, list keys, assign/revoke
key role, bootstrap-availability probe).
* data-testid attributes on every interactive element so a
future Playwright suite can assert behavior without brittle
CSS selectors.
* Empty state, error state, and unsaved-changes warnings on
every form per the prompt's implementation rules.
# Frontend tests
* RolesPage.test.tsx (6 tests): list render, empty state,
error state, hide-create-button-without-perm,
show-create-button-with-perm, submit-create-modal.
* KeysPage.test.tsx (3 tests): demo-anon flagged
system-managed (no buttons), permission-gated affordance
hide for auditor caller, assign-modal-POST contract.
* AuthSettingsPage.test.tsx (2 tests): identity surface,
bootstrap-OPEN-status surface.
* AuditPage.test.tsx (+1): category-filter select renders
with the 4 documented options.
15 frontend tests total in src/pages/auth/ + the audit
category-filter test; all pass via npx vitest run.
# Verifications
* go vet ./... clean.
* staticcheck across internal/auth + handler + router + cli +
service + repository + cmd + domain: clean.
* gofmt -l clean repo-wide.
* go test -short -count=1 green across internal/service,
internal/api/handler, internal/api/router, internal/auth,

docs: fix broken ../examples/ links across docs/ (closes #11)
Reporter (thesudoer0003) flagged that the example links in
docs/getting-started/examples.md resolve to /docs/examples/ which
does not exist. Same bug pattern shows up in four other docs files.
The example READMEs live at examples/<name>/<name>.md at the repo
root, not under docs/. The references in the docs/ tree used
relative paths like `../examples/acme-nginx/acme-nginx.md` which
resolve to docs/examples/... — one level short of escaping out to
the repo root. Fix is one extra `../` so the path resolves to
examples/... at repo root, where the files actually live.
Files touched:
docs/getting-started/examples.md 5 links
docs/getting-started/why-certctl.md 1 link
docs/migration/cert-manager-coexistence.md 1 link
docs/migration/from-acmesh.md 1 link
docs/migration/from-certbot.md 1 link
Verified: every `../../examples/<name>/<name>.md` reference now
resolves to the on-disk file. Re-checked via:
for f in $(grep -rl 'examples/' docs/); do
for link in $(grep -oE '\.\./\.\./examples/[^)]*' "$f"); do
[ -e "$(dirname "$f")/$link" ] || echo "STILL BROKEN: $f -> $link"
done
done
zero "STILL BROKEN" output.

cli: promote --force on renew + require --reason on revoke (closes P3-1, P3-2)
Closes findings P3-1 and P3-2 from the 2026-05-05 CLI/API/MCP↔GUI parity
audit (cowork/cli-gui-parity-audit-2026-05-05/RESULTS.md). Both findings
flagged hidden defaults that the CLI was sending without exposing them
to operators: `force=false` baked into every renew payload, and a silent
fallback to `reason="unspecified"` whenever --reason was omitted.
P3-1 — promote --force on `certs renew` (full end-to-end plumbing)
The pre-2026-05-05 CLI sent `{"force": false}` in the renew body. The
API handler never decoded it — a textbook "lying field" per the
operator's CLAUDE.md "complete path, not the easy path" rule: the body
field stored a value, claimed to do something, and silently did nothing
because the wire never reached the consumer. Adding a --force flag that
also went unread would have created another lying field.
This commit takes the complete path:
service.CertificateService.TriggerRenewal grew a `force bool` parameter
(internal/service/certificate.go). When force=true, the
RenewalInProgress block is overridden so operators can recover stuck
in-flight renewals where a previous job hung without releasing the
status flag. Archived and Expired remain terminal blockers regardless
of force — those are semantic dead-ends that --force should not paper
over (archived = decommissioned, expired = issue a new cert instead of
renewing a dead one).
handler.CertificateHandler.TriggerRenewal parses force from
?force=true (or ?force=1) query param, OR {"force": true} JSON body,
whichever the client picks. Defaults to false. Passes through to the
service.
internal/cli/client.go::RenewCertificate(id, force bool) sends
?force=true on the URL when --force is set. The historical hardcoded
`{"force": false}` body is gone — no more lying field.
cmd/cli/main.go dispatches `certs renew <id> [--force]` (ID-first
flag-second convention matches the existing `agents retire <id>
[--force]`).
P3-2 — require --reason on `certs revoke` (Option A: strict refusal)
The pre-2026-05-05 CLI dropped to `--reason unspecified` whenever the
operator omitted the flag. Compliance reporting (RFC 5280 §5.3.1, PCI-
DSS §3.6, HIPAA §164.312) relies on the reason code being meaningful;
silent fallback defeats the audit trail because every revocation looks
identical.
cmd/cli/main.go dispatch refuses to send when --reason is empty,
prints the canonical RFC 5280 §5.3.1 reason-code menu, and exits
non-zero.
internal/cli/client.go exposes ValidRevokeReasons() returning the
canonical camelCase list (unspecified, keyCompromise, caCompromise,
affiliationChanged, superseded, cessationOfOperation, certificateHold,
removeFromCRL, privilegeWithdrawn, aaCompromise) and
NormalizeRevokeReason() that accepts both camelCase and snake_case
inputs and normalises to the canonical wire form. Off-list reasons
are rejected at dispatch with the menu re-printed.
Test pins:
internal/cli/client_test.go::TestClient_RenewCertificate_ForceFlag —
--force=true sends ?force=true with empty body; --force=false sends
no query and no body.
internal/cli/client_test.go::TestNormalizeRevokeReason +
TestValidRevokeReasons — canonical-camelCase + snake_case + reject-
off-enum behaviour.
cmd/cli/dispatch_test.go::TestHandleCerts_Revoke_RequiresReason +
TestHandleCerts_Revoke_RejectsUnknownReason +
TestHandleCerts_Renew_ForceFlag — dispatch-layer pins for the same
contracts.
internal/api/handler/certificate_handler_test.go::TestTriggerRenewal_
ForceQueryParam — query-param passthrough (no-flag, force=true,
force=1, force=false) flows through to the service-layer parameter.
internal/service/certificate_test.go::TestTriggerRenewal_
ForceOverridesInProgress — force=false preserves the
RenewalInProgress block; force=true clears it.
Existing TestTriggerRenewal_Archived extended to assert force=true
still blocks Archived (terminal-state guarantee).
Docs: docs/reference/cli.md updated with the --force example for renew
and the strict --reason semantics for revoke (including snake_case
input acceptance).
Acceptance gate (verified):
- go build ./cmd/server/... ./cmd/agent/... ./cmd/cli/...
./cmd/mcp-server/... clean.
- go vet ./... clean.
- go test -short -count=1 ./... pass repo-wide.
- bash scripts/ci-guards/openapi-handler-parity.sh clean
(router 178, OpenAPI 144, exceptions 36 — unchanged; we add
parameter parsing, not routes).
- gofmt -l clean.

mcp(coverage): add 34 tools across 7 domains to close 2026-05-05 parity audit P1 findings
Closes findings P1-1..P1-35 from the 2026-05-05 CLI/API/MCP↔GUI parity
audit (cowork/cli-gui-parity-audit-2026-05-05/RESULTS.md). Before this
bundle, 35 operator-facing API endpoints had GUI surfaces but no MCP
counterpart — operators using AI assistants for cert lifecycle work in
regulated environments had to drop to curl for approve/reject, health-check
acknowledgement, renewal-policy CRUD, network-scan triggering, discovery
triage, intermediate-CA management, and job verification.
Tool count: 87→121 in tools.go (+34), 6 unchanged in tools_est.go.
Re-derive via grep -cE 'gomcp\\.AddTool\\(' internal/mcp/tools.go
internal/mcp/tools_est.go.
The 7 phases (matching the bundle prompt at
cowork/mcp-coverage-expansion-prompt.md):
Phase A — Approvals (P1-28..P1-31, 4 tools)
list_approvals, get_approval, approve_request, reject_request.
Two-person-integrity contract (ErrApproveBySameActor → HTTP 403)
is preserved automatically: the decided_by actor is derived
server-side from middleware.UserKey, NOT from request body, so
the MCP server's authenticated API-key identity becomes the
audit-trail actor. The MCP input schema deliberately omits any
actor_id field to prevent client-side spoofing.
Phase B — Health Checks (P1-20..P1-27, 8 tools)
list, summary, get, create, update, delete, history, acknowledge.
Mirrors the existing target-resource shape; acknowledge takes
optional 'actor' string captured in the audit row (handler defaults
to 'unknown' if absent).
Phase C — Renewal Policies (P1-1..P1-5, 5 tools)
Standard CRUD against /api/v1/renewal-policies. Distinct from the
legacy 'policy' tools that point at the same path — these expose
the renewal-policy domain explicitly with full alert_channels +
alert_severity_map field shape.
Phase D — Network Scan Targets (P1-14..P1-19, 6 tools)
CRUD + trigger_scan. trigger_network_scan returns the discovery-
scan body so the AI can chain into list_discovered_certificates
filtered by agent_id.
Phase E — Discovery read-side (P1-10..P1-13, 4 tools)
list_discovered_certificates, get_discovered_certificate,
list_discovery_scans, discovery_summary. Complements the
pre-existing claim/dismiss tools (registered alongside Health
historically per the I-2 closure).
Phase F — Intermediate CAs (P1-6..P1-9, 4 tools)
list, create (root + child via discriminator on body shape), get,
retire. The handler is admin-gated via middleware.IsAdmin; the
least-privilege boundary is enforced at the API layer (HTTP 403
for non-admin Bearer callers) — not by transport carve-out.
Phase G — Verification + deployments (P1-32, P1-34, P1-35, 3 tools)
list_certificate_deployments, verify_job, get_job_verification.
P1-33 (POST /api/v1/agents/{id}/discoveries) is intentionally
excluded — machine-to-machine push channel for agents reporting
filesystem-scan results, not an operator-driven flow. Documented
inline in the RegisterTools dispatch.
Implementation:
- 14 new input types in internal/mcp/types.go with jsonschema struct
tags driving LLM tool discovery.
- 7 register* functions in internal/mcp/tools.go each handling one
phase, wired into RegisterTools dispatch in declaration order.
- 34 new entries in tools_per_tool_test.go::allHappyPathCases —
the existing in-process MCP harness (TestMCP_AllTools_HappyPath +
TestMCP_AllTools_ErrorPath + TestMCP_RegisterTools_DispatchableToolCount)
auto-extends coverage to cover every new tool: happy-path round-
trip with fence-shape assertion, 5xx error-path with MCP_ERROR fence
propagation, and 'every registered tool is dispatchable' guard.
- docs/reference/mcp.md 'Available Tools' table expanded from 16 to
22 resource domains with current per-domain tool counts.
Acceptance gate (verified):
- go build ./cmd/server/... ./cmd/agent/... ./cmd/cli/... ./cmd/mcp-server/...
clean across all four production binaries.
- go vet ./... clean.
- go test -short -count=1 ./internal/mcp/... pass (TestMCP_AllTools_*
expanded to 127 tool round-trips).
- go test -short -count=1 ./... pass repo-wide.
- bash scripts/ci-guards/openapi-handler-parity.sh clean (router 178,
OpenAPI 144, exceptions 36 — unchanged; we add MCP wrappers, not
routes).
- gofmt -l clean across the four touched files.

docs: convert ASCII flow diagram to Mermaid in test-environment.md
Per operator audit: every diagram in docs/ should be Mermaid except in the repo-root README.md. The 'Key Generation Flow (Agent-Side)' section in docs/contributor/test-environment.md was rendered as a plain code fence with arrow-prose: Server creates job (AwaitingCSR) → Agent polls, sees job → Agent generates ECDSA P-256 key pair locally → ... That was the only non-Mermaid diagram-shaped block left in docs/. Converted to a Mermaid sequenceDiagram with 5 participants (certctl-server, issuer connector, certctl-agent, local agent FS, shared volume) covering the full AwaitingCSR → CSR-submit → Deployment-job → cert-write → Completed lifecycle. Audit + verification script: cowork/docs-audit-2026-05-05/mermaid-audit.md. Re-running the detection script post-fix returns zero non-Mermaid diagram-like blocks across all 76 docs/ markdown files. Total Mermaid coverage in docs/ now: 14 docs / 40 blocks. |

docs: factuality sweep — fix 3 broken links + 12 count claims (audit findings 2026-05-05)
Per the cowork/docs-audit-2026-05-05/ end-to-end factuality audit (20 confirmed findings across 76 docs, 7 parallel subagents + audit-of-the-audit). Hot + Warm tier fixes ship here; STALE findings (qa-test-suite.md test-count snapshot) need 'make qa-stats' which is operator-side. BROKEN links repaired (3): - docs/reference/api.md L195: [Quick Start](quickstart.md) → ../getting-started/quickstart.md (404 pre-fix) - docs/reference/api.md L196: [Connector Guide](connectors.md) → connectors/index.md (Phase 4 rename, was 404 pre-fix) - docs/reference/protocols/scep-intune.md L377: [legacy-est-scep.md](legacy-est-scep.md) → scep-server.md (file was deleted in Phase 7 commit |

docs: retire compliance subtree + sweep framework name-drops from prose
Per operator decision the framework-mapping docs are gone. They
were aspirational (no audit, no certification, no validated
mapping); keeping them around was misleading.
Files deleted (1,883 lines):
- docs/compliance/index.md
- docs/compliance/soc2.md
- docs/compliance/pci-dss.md
- docs/compliance/nist-sp-800-57.md
Hyperlinks removed:
- README.md: 'Auditor / compliance' row in the doc table; the
'(compliance mapping included)' parenthetical in the
positioning paragraph
- docs/README.md: the '## Compliance' section table; the
'Auditor / compliance team' reading-order-by-role row
Prose name-drops swept across 24 files:
- README.md: 'FedRAMP boundary CAs / financial-services policy
CAs' → '4-level boundary CAs / 3-level policy CAs';
'Compliance-grade for PCI-DSS Level 1, FedRAMP Moderate / High,
SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA' → cut entirely
- getting-started/{quickstart,concepts,examples,why-certctl,
advanced-demo}.md: 'compliance' → 'audit' / 'policy';
'PCI-DSS / SOC 2 / NIST SP 800-57' framework lists cut;
''pci': 'true'' tag example → ''environment': 'production''
- migration/cert-manager-coexistence.md: 'compliance rules' →
'policy rules'
- operator/approval-workflow.md: 'Compliance customers (PCI-DSS
Level 1, FedRAMP Moderate / High, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA)' →
'Operators'; entire 'Compliance control mapping' table
(PCI-DSS §6.4.5 / NIST SP 800-53 SA-15 / SOC 2 Type II CC6.1
/ HIPAA §164.308(a)(4)) deleted; 'compliance contract' →
'two-person-integrity contract'; 'compliance auditors' →
'reviewers'
- operator/legacy-clients-tls-1.2.md: 'PCI-DSS v4.0 Req 4 §2.2.5'
audit-reference → CWE-326 (kept); 'PCI-DSS Req 4 §2.2.5
attestation' section retitled to 'TLS posture summary' and
rewritten without framework framing; 'PCI-DSS, NIST, and
major browsers will eventually deprecate TLS 1.2' →
'Major browsers and OS vendors will eventually deprecate
TLS 1.2'
- operator/database-tls.md: PCI-DSS Req 4 §2.2.5 audit-ref →
CWE-319 only; 'PCI-DSS scope' → 'sensitive data'; PCI-DSS
Req 4 v4.0 prose footing → cut
- operator/runbooks/disaster-recovery.md: 'SOC 2 / PCI
procurement-team deliverable' → 'on-call deliverable';
'compliance auditors' → 'reviewers'
- reference/connectors/{acme,aws-acm,azure-kv,globalsign,
local-ca,openssl,ssh,index}.md: 'compliance reporting
(PCI-DSS §3.6, HIPAA §164.312)' → 'audit reporting';
'Compliance environments (PCI-DSS Level 1, FedRAMP High,
HIPAA)' → 'Regulated environments'; 'compliance audits' →
'audit'; 'FedRAMP boundary CA' pattern names →
'4-level boundary CA' (technically descriptive)
- reference/protocols/est.md: 'compliance-hook seam' →
'device-state hook seam'; 'compliance gating' → 'device-state
gating'; 'est_compliance_failed' → 'est_device_state_failed'
- reference/protocols/scep-intune.md: 'Optional compliance
check' → 'Optional device-state check'; failure-counter
'compliance_failed' → 'device_state_failed'; 'Conditional
Access compliance gating' → 'Conditional Access
device-state gating'
- reference/intermediate-ca-hierarchy.md: 'FedRAMP boundary-CA
deployments where the regulator requires...' →
'Boundary-CA deployments where you want separation of policy
and issuing authorities'; pattern A retitled '4-level FedRAMP
boundary CA' → '4-level boundary CA'
- reference/architecture.md: broken Related-docs link to
compliance.md removed; the rest of that block had stale
pre-Phase-2 paths (quickstart.md, demo-advanced.md,
connectors.md, openapi.md, testing-guide.md, test-env.md) —
retargeted to current locations
- reference/deployment-model.md: 'SOC 2 evidence-report
generator' → 'Audit-evidence report generator'
- reference/vendor-matrix.md: 'SOC 2 / PCI auditors paste this
into evidence packs' → 'reviewers paste this into
vendor-evaluation packs'
- contributor/qa-test-suite.md: 'compliance exist' coverage
description cut; 'Compliance (PCI / SOC2 / HIPAA-relevant)'
risk-class label → 'Audit-relevant'
What was kept:
- CWE references (legitimate technical pointers)
- Microsoft API/feature names that happen to use 'compliance'
literally ('Microsoft Graph compliance API',
'device-compliance validators' — these are MS product names,
not framework name-drops)
- 'NIST PQC' on the landing page (Post-Quantum Cryptography is
the actual NIST standard family, not a compliance framework)
Verified: zero hyperlinks into docs/compliance/ remain. All 24
ci-guards/*.sh pass locally. qa-doc-seed-count.sh clean.
Net diff: 26 files / -1,883 deletions in compliance/ + -32 net
across the prose sweep.
Companion edits in cowork/ (CLAUDE.md doc-tree summary +
WORKSPACE-CHANGELOG.md retirement note) land separately.

docs: Phase 5 — testing-guide.md prune (8268 → 0 lines, content dispersed)
Per Phase 1 audit at cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-1-audit-2026-05-04/
and the section-by-section plan in testing-guide-tumor.md.
testing-guide.md was 30% of all docs/ content (8268 lines) but was
integration test code written in markdown, not operator documentation.
The audit's tumor analysis disposed of every Part:
- ~65% DELETE (test cases that already exist in code)
- ~22% MOVE to inline test code
- ~8% KEEP-COMPRESSED into focused operator-runbook docs
- Title + contents + release sign-off ~5% KEEP
This commit ships the KEEP-COMPRESSED dispersal:
docs/contributor/qa-prerequisites.md (NEW, ~120 lines):
From testing-guide.md "Prerequisites" section. Stack boot procedure,
demo data baseline, reference IDs operators reuse across QA docs.
docs/contributor/gui-qa-checklist.md (NEW, ~105 lines):
From testing-guide.md "Part 35: GUI Testing". Manual GUI verification
pass for release sign-off. 25-row table covering every dashboard page.
docs/contributor/release-sign-off.md (NEW, ~130 lines):
From testing-guide.md "Release Sign-Off" section (originally 1009
lines of per-test detail tables). Compressed to a release-day
checklist organized by gate category: code state, automated gates,
manual QA passes, release artefact verification, branch protection,
post-release.
docs/operator/performance-baselines.md (NEW, ~100 lines):
From testing-guide.md "Part 39: Performance Spot Checks". Four
operator-runnable benchmarks (API request handling, inventory list
pagination, scheduler tick, bulk revoke) with baseline numbers and
when-to-re-baseline guidance.
docs/operator/helm-deployment.md (NEW, ~120 lines):
From testing-guide.md "Part 52: Helm Chart Deployment". Operator
runbook for the bundled deploy/helm/certctl/ chart: prereqs,
install, four cert-source patterns, verify, upgrade, troubleshooting.
docs/reference/cli.md (NEW, ~120 lines):
From testing-guide.md "Part 28: CLI Tool". certctl-cli command
reference with command-group breakdown, common workflows
(list/filter, renew, revoke, bulk import, EST enrollment, status),
output formats, CI/CD integration patterns.
docs/README.md navigation index updated to include the 6 new docs:
Reference section gains: cli.md, release-verification.md (was added
in Phase 13)
Operator section gains: helm-deployment.md, performance-baselines.md
Contributor section gains: qa-prerequisites.md, gui-qa-checklist.md,
release-sign-off.md
docs/testing-guide.md deleted. Git history preserves the 8268 lines —
if any specific test case is found missing from inline test code or
the destination docs during future work, lift from `git show
HEAD~1:docs/testing-guide.md`.
Net: docs/ total line count drops by ~7700 lines (28%), from 26,369
to 18,742. testing-guide.md was the single largest doc; pruning it is
the single biggest content-edit win of the entire restructure.
Phase 5 is the last major content phase. Remaining: Phase 4 follow-on
(per-connector page extractions from reference/connectors/index.md),
Phase 15 (WHAT/HOW/WHY remediation), Phase 16 (final acceptance gate).

docs: Phase 11 follow-on — fix remaining anchor + cross-dir links
Final cleanup pass after the previous Phase 11 commits. Catches
the anchor-bearing and cross-directory links that earlier sed passes
missed:
docs/reference/protocols/acme-server.md (3 fixes):
(./tls.md) → (../../operator/tls.md)
(./architecture.md) → (../architecture.md)
(./architecture.md#agents) → (../architecture.md#agents)
docs/migration/from-certbot.md (1 fix):
(./quickstart.md#network-discovery-agentless)
→ (../getting-started/quickstart.md#network-discovery-agentless)
docs/migration/cert-manager-coexistence.md (1 fix):
(./architecture.md#agents) → (../reference/architecture.md#agents)
After this commit, the Phase 11 sweep is functionally complete for
the operator-facing surfaces. Remaining valid sibling links
(`(./<name>.md)`) within docs/reference/protocols/ and docs/migration/
are intended siblings and resolve correctly.
The remaining open Phase 11 items are:
- testing-strategy.md → testing-guide.md link, still valid because
testing-guide.md still exists at top level pending Phase 5
- any links in docs/compliance/soc2.md and docs/compliance/nist-sp-800-57.md
if they reference moved docs (low traffic; revisit if Phase 4
follow-on or Phase 5 work surfaces them)

docs: Phase 11 follow-on — fix anchor-bearing + remaining inter-doc links
Per Phase 1 audit at cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-1-audit-2026-05-04/.
Sweeps the anchor-bearing inter-doc links that the previous Phase 11
sed pass missed (anchors after .md# weren't matched), plus a few
remaining cross-refs in docs/reference/.
Per source file:
docs/migration/acme-from-caddy.md (1 anchor link):
(./acme-server.md#certificate-readyfalse-with-rejectedidentifier)
→ (../reference/protocols/acme-server.md#certificate-readyfalse-...)
docs/migration/acme-from-cert-manager.md (3 anchor links):
Same shape; all (./acme-server.md#...) → (../reference/protocols/acme-server.md#...)
docs/reference/connectors/index.md (5 walkthrough + reference links):
(./acme-server.md) → (../protocols/acme-server.md)
(./acme-server-threat-model.md) → (../protocols/acme-server-threat-model.md)
(./acme-cert-manager-walkthrough.md) → (../../migration/acme-from-cert-manager.md)
(./acme-caddy-walkthrough.md) → (../../migration/acme-from-caddy.md)
(./acme-traefik-walkthrough.md) → (../../migration/acme-from-traefik.md)
docs/reference/protocols/acme-server.md (3 walkthrough links):
(./acme-cert-manager-walkthrough.md) → (../../migration/acme-from-cert-manager.md)
(./acme-caddy-walkthrough.md) → (../../migration/acme-from-caddy.md)
(./acme-traefik-walkthrough.md) → (../../migration/acme-from-traefik.md)
docs/reference/protocols/acme-server-threat-model.md (1 cross-dir):
(./tls.md) → (../../operator/tls.md)
After this commit, every grep for old-style `./<old-doc-name>.md` links
returns clean across docs/migration/, docs/reference/, and
docs/operator/.

docs: Phase 14 — Last reviewed line sweep across docs/
Per Phase 1 audit at cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-1-audit-2026-05-04/. Adds a `> Last reviewed: 2026-05-05` line right after the H1 heading of every doc that didn't already have one (41 files). This dates the freshness clock for the future Phase 4 per-doc review. The discipline going forward: when a doc's content gets a meaningful edit, bump the date. When the date gets old (e.g., >6 months), the doc earns a freshness-review pass. Mechanical insertion via awk one-liner, applied to every docs/*.md that didn't already match `grep -q 'Last reviewed:'`. Files that already carried the line from earlier Phase 2 work (the navigation index, the new connector docs, the new SCEP server / legacy-clients- TLS-1.2 / release-verification docs, and the 5 per-connector deep dives) were skipped to avoid duplicate insertion. Net: every doc in docs/ now has a Last reviewed line. |

docs: Phase 13 — README rewrite to 250-line target
Per Phase 1 audit at cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-1-audit-2026-05-04/.
README went from 457 lines to a target of 250 (operator decision in
Phase 1 conversation). Focus shifts from feature-catalog + landing-page
duplicate to "developer cloning the repo needs orientation + quickstart
+ entry points to docs."
What stayed:
- Logo + title + badges (~15 lines)
- Elevator paragraph + 47-day cliff context (3 paragraphs, compressed)
- Active-maintenance callout
- Documentation table — restructured from 22 entries linking to flat
docs/ to ~6 audience-organized rows linking through the new
docs/README.md navigation index
- Screenshots grid (4 tiles)
- "What it does" — compressed from 33 lines of prose to 8 capability
bullets, each linking to the canonical doc
- Architecture paragraph — compressed to one paragraph linking to
docs/reference/architecture.md
- Quick Start (Docker Compose, Agent install, Helm, container images)
- Examples table (5 turnkey scenarios)
- Development commands
- License paragraph
- Dependencies block
- Footer CTA
What got moved out:
- Cosign verification / SLSA / SBOM section (67 lines) →
docs/reference/release-verification.md (NEW). README links to it
in a 3-line "Verifying a release" section.
What got removed entirely:
- "Why certctl" + "Architecture" + "Security-first" + "Key design
decisions" prose walls — duplicated landing page + architecture.md +
security.md content. README no longer wades through 11 dense
paragraphs.
- "Supported Integrations" 4 sub-tables (Issuers / Targets / Protocols
/ Standards / Notifiers, ~80 lines of dense per-row marketing
copy) — content lives at docs/reference/connectors/index.md and
docs/reference/protocols/. README mentions counts ("12 issuers, 15
targets, 6 notifiers") with a single link.
- "Roadmap" section entirely — V1 + V2 history rotted fastest of any
section; replaced with implicit "see Releases + Issues for active
work" via the existing footer CTA.
- "What It Does" 10-subsection wall (33 lines) — replaced with the
8-bullet capability list, each linking to its canonical doc.
- CLI section (20 lines of inline command examples) — links to the
contributor docs.
- MCP Server section (30 lines of setup) — links to docs/reference/mcp.md.
New surface added:
- docs/reference/release-verification.md — moved cosign/SLSA/SBOM

docs: Phase 11 (partial) — fix cross-references after Phase 2 moves
Per Phase 1 audit at cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-1-audit-2026-05-04/.
Sweeps the highest-impact link surfaces affected by the Phase 2-7
mechanical moves and renames. Covers README.md (49 docs/ links) and
the most-trafficked docs/ files (compliance, getting-started, archive).
README.md fixes (49 link updates):
- All single-doc references mapped from old to new paths:
docs/quickstart.md → docs/getting-started/quickstart.md
docs/architecture.md → docs/reference/architecture.md
docs/connectors.md → docs/reference/connectors/index.md
docs/acme-server.md → docs/reference/protocols/acme-server.md
docs/{soc2,pci-dss,nist}.md → docs/compliance/{soc2,pci-dss,nist-sp-800-57}.md
... (full mapping in the sed pipeline)
- 3 references to deleted features.md replaced with pointers to
architecture.md + connectors/index.md.
docs/compliance/index.md (3 sibling renames):
compliance-soc2.md → soc2.md
compliance-pci-dss.md → pci-dss.md
compliance-nist.md → nist-sp-800-57.md
docs/compliance/pci-dss.md (3 external refs need ../):
architecture.md → ../reference/architecture.md
connectors.md → ../reference/connectors/index.md
quickstart.md → ../getting-started/quickstart.md
docs/getting-started/concepts.md (4 external refs):
crl-ocsp.md → ../reference/protocols/crl-ocsp.md
architecture.md → ../reference/architecture.md
mcp.md → ../reference/mcp.md
openapi.md → ../reference/api.md
docs/getting-started/quickstart.md (4 external refs + 1 sibling):
tls.md → ../operator/tls.md
upgrade-to-tls.md → ../archive/upgrades/to-tls-v2.2.md
architecture.md → ../reference/architecture.md
demo-advanced.md → advanced-demo.md (sibling rename)
docs/getting-started/examples.md (4 external refs):
migrate-from-certbot.md → ../migration/from-certbot.md
migrate-from-acmesh.md → ../migration/from-acmesh.md
certctl-for-cert-manager-users.md → ../migration/cert-manager-coexistence.md
connectors.md → ../reference/connectors/index.md
docs/archive/upgrades/to-tls-v2.2.md (3 external refs need ../../):
tls.md → ../../operator/tls.md
quickstart.md → ../../getting-started/quickstart.md
test-env.md → ../../contributor/test-environment.md
docs/archive/upgrades/to-v2-jwt-removal.md (2 external refs need ../../):
architecture.md → ../../reference/architecture.md
tls.md → ../../operator/tls.md
Verified all README.md docs/ links resolve to existing files. The only
remaining top-level link is testing-guide.md which still exists at the
top of docs/ (Phase 5 will prune it later).
Inter-doc broken links in deeper subdirectories (docs/reference/*,
docs/operator/*, docs/contributor/*) that don't appear in README's
direct surface area still need fixing in follow-up Phase 11 commits.
This commit handles the operator-facing entry points.

docs: Phase 4 (structural) — move connectors.md + 5 deep dives into reference/connectors/
Per Phase 1 audit at cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-1-audit-2026-05-04/.
Phase 4 in the audit recommended a full split of connectors.md (2055
lines) into an index + 27 per-connector pages (12 issuer + 15 target).
This commit lands the structural half of that work; full per-target
page extraction is deferred to follow-up commits.
Renames (all blame-preserving):
docs/connectors.md → docs/reference/connectors/index.md
docs/connector-apache.md → docs/reference/connectors/apache.md
docs/connector-f5.md → docs/reference/connectors/f5.md
docs/connector-iis.md → docs/reference/connectors/iis.md
docs/connector-k8s.md → docs/reference/connectors/k8s.md
docs/connector-nginx.md → docs/reference/connectors/nginx.md
Edits:
- docs/reference/connectors/index.md gets a top-of-doc note
explaining the per-connector deep-dive sibling pattern + a forward
list of the 5 per-target pages.
- The 5 per-connector deep-dive pages each get a `Last reviewed:
2026-05-05` header + a back-link to the index.
Deferred to future commits (Phase 4b/c follow-on):
- Extracting the 12 issuer sections from index.md into per-issuer
pages at reference/connectors/{acme,awsacmpca,digicert,ejbca,
entrust,globalsign,googlecas,local,openssl,sectigo,stepca,vault}.md
- Extracting the 10 remaining target sections from index.md into
per-target pages at reference/connectors/{caddy,traefik,envoy,
haproxy,postfix-dovecot,ssh,javakeystore,wincertstore,awsacm,
azurekv}.md
The pragmatic split makes this Phase 4 work incrementally landable —
each per-connector extraction is a small follow-up commit that doesn't
change the docs/ tree shape further. Cross-references from README.md
and other docs to docs/connectors.md still need fixing in Phase 11.

docs: delete features.md (Phase 6 disperse, content already in canonical docs)
Per Phase 1 audit at cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-1-audit-2026-05-04/.
features.md was a 1606-line feature catalog with ~80% overlap with
canonical docs already in the tree:
- "API Surface" section (rate limiting, CORS, body size limits)
→ docs/operator/security.md ("Per-user rate limiting" + related
sections), docs/reference/architecture.md ("API Design" + rate
limit details)
- "Certificate Lifecycle" section
→ docs/getting-started/concepts.md ("The Certificate Lifecycle"
state machine), docs/reference/architecture.md
- "Revocation Infrastructure" section
→ docs/reference/protocols/crl-ocsp.md
- "Issuer Connectors" + "Target Connectors" + "Notifier Connectors"
→ docs/connectors.md (canonical) and the per-connector pages
that land in Phase 4
- "ACME Renewal Information (RFC 9773)" section
→ docs/reference/protocols/acme-server.md
- "Discovery" section
→ docs/getting-started/concepts.md, docs/reference/architecture.md
- "Observability" section
→ docs/operator/security.md, docs/reference/architecture.md
- "Job System" + "Background Scheduler"
→ docs/reference/architecture.md
- "Web Dashboard"
→ docs/getting-started/concepts.md
- "CLI" section
→ docs/reference/cli.md (lands in Phase 5 from testing-guide tumor)
- "MCP Server" section
→ docs/reference/mcp.md
- "Agent" section
→ docs/reference/architecture.md, docs/getting-started/concepts.md
- "Deployment" section
→ docs/reference/deployment-model.md
- "Database Schema" section
→ docs/reference/architecture.md
- "Security" section
→ docs/operator/security.md
- "CI/CD" section
→ docs/contributor/ci-pipeline.md
- "Test Suite" section
→ docs/contributor/testing-strategy.md
- "Examples" section
→ docs/getting-started/examples.md
- "Compliance Mapping" section
→ docs/compliance/index.md and the three framework docs
- "Architecture Decisions" section
→ docs/reference/architecture.md
The catalog format failed both beginners (overwhelming wall of text)
and experts (grep on source is faster than reading 1606 lines of
prose). Per the audit's quality standard, the canonical per-topic
docs serve their audiences better.
Git history preserves features.md content. If any specific claim or
detail is found missing from a canonical doc during Phase 11
cross-reference work or future maintenance, it can be lifted from
git history (HEAD~ paths point at the deleted file) into the right
canonical doc with proper context.
Cross-references from README.md and other docs to docs/features.md
still need fixing in Phase 11.

docs: split legacy-est-scep.md into two purpose-aligned docs
The 519-line legacy-est-scep.md had a dual personality flagged by the
Phase 1 audit: lines 1-203 were a TLS-1.2 reverse-proxy runbook for
legacy clients, and lines 205+ were the current SCEP RFC 8894 native
implementation reference (mislabeled as "legacy"). Two separate audiences,
two separate purposes.
Split:
Lines 1-203 (TLS-1.2 reverse-proxy runbook):
→ docs/operator/legacy-clients-tls-1.2.md (NEW)
Operator runbook for the case where embedded EST/SCEP clients only
speak TLS 1.2. Covers nginx + HAProxy reverse-proxy patterns, certctl-
side header-agnostic config rationale, PCI-DSS Req 4 §2.2.5 attestation,
deprecation timeline. Also got a fresh "What this is" framing.
Lines 205-end (SCEP RFC 8894 native server reference):
→ docs/reference/protocols/scep-server.md (NEW)
Generic SCEP server protocol reference: RA cert + key configuration,
GetCACaps capability advertisement, supported messageTypes, MVP
backward-compat path, multi-profile dispatch, must-staple per-profile
policy, mTLS sibling route, Microsoft Intune dynamic-challenge
dispatcher. Cross-links to scep-intune.md for Intune-specific
deployment guidance.
Both new docs carry a `Last reviewed: 2026-05-05` line. Internal links
within each new doc updated to the new sibling paths. Cross-references
from other docs to legacy-est-scep.md still need fixing in Phase 11.
Original docs/legacy-est-scep.md deleted (git history preserves).

docs: re-home ACME client walkthroughs under docs/migration/
The three ACME client walkthroughs (Caddy, cert-manager, Traefik) are
conceptually "I have an existing X, here's how to point its ACME
client at certctl." They belong with the migration docs, not with the
acme-server protocol reference.
Renames:
docs/acme-caddy-walkthrough.md → docs/migration/acme-from-caddy.md
docs/acme-cert-manager-walkthrough.md → docs/migration/acme-from-cert-manager.md
docs/acme-traefik-walkthrough.md → docs/migration/acme-from-traefik.md
Each walkthrough's lede gets a "Use this walkthrough when..." paragraph
that closes the WHY-weak gap flagged in the Phase 1 audit. The new
framing tells the reader when to pick this walkthrough versus the
alternatives:
- Caddy: "you're running Caddy 2.7+ and want it to ACME-issue from
certctl instead of Let's Encrypt"
- cert-manager: explicit pointer to cert-manager-coexistence.md for
the keep-cert-manager-running case (vs replacement)
- Traefik: "you're running Traefik 3.0+ and want certctl as your
ACME source of truth"
Cross-reference updates from other docs and README still pending in
Phase 11.

docs: archive version-specific upgrade guides
upgrade-to-tls.md and upgrade-to-v2-jwt-removal.md are version-specific runbooks for past releases. Late upgraders still need them; current operators don't. Move both to docs/archive/upgrades/ with one-line archive headers pointing readers at the current canonical docs. Renames: docs/upgrade-to-tls.md → docs/archive/upgrades/to-tls-v2.2.md docs/upgrade-to-v2-jwt-removal.md → docs/archive/upgrades/to-v2-jwt-removal.md Each gets a top-of-doc archive notice with the date and a forward pointer to the relevant steady-state doc: to-tls-v2.2.md → docs/operator/tls.md to-v2-jwt-removal.md → docs/operator/security.md The relative link inside to-v2-jwt-removal.md (was "upgrade-to-tls.md", now "to-tls-v2.2.md") updated to point at its archived sibling.

docs: Phase 2 mechanical file moves to subdirectory structure
Pure git mv operations; no content edits. Internal links remain pointing
at old paths and will be fixed in Phase 11. Per the Phase 1 audit
recommendations at cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-1-audit-2026-05-04/.
35 files moved across 8 audience-organized subdirectories:

docs/contributor/ (4):
testing-strategy.md, test-environment.md (was test-env.md),
ci-pipeline.md, qa-test-suite.md (was qa-test-guide.md)
Deferred to later Phase 2 sub-phases:
- connectors.md split (Phase 4): docs/connectors.md +
docs/connector-{apache,f5,iis,k8s,nginx}.md still at top level
- testing-guide.md prune (Phase 5): docs/testing-guide.md still
at top level
- features.md disperse (Phase 6): docs/features.md still at top
level
- legacy-est-scep.md split (Phase 7): docs/legacy-est-scep.md
still at top level
- ACME walkthrough re-homing (Phase 8): three
docs/acme-*-walkthrough.md still at top level
- Upgrade docs archive (Phase 3): two docs/upgrade-*.md still

docs: convert remaining ASCII diagrams to mermaid (audit closure)
Audit pass over docs/ found 4 files with non-mermaid (ASCII
box-drawing) diagrams in fenced code blocks. The other 9 doc files
already used mermaid blocks (architecture.md, demo-advanced.md,
ci-pipeline.md, concepts.md, est.md, legacy-est-scep.md, mcp.md,
qa-test-guide.md, scep-intune.md). Rendering parity for everything
in docs/.
Conversions:
approval-workflow.md
1 ASCII swimlane → sequenceDiagram with named participants
(Operator A / CertificateService / Job+ApprovalRequest /
Operator B / ApprovalService / Scheduler). Same content: the
same-actor RBAC reject path, the AwaitingApproval gate, the
audit + Prometheus side effects.
intermediate-ca-hierarchy.md
1 lifecycle ASCII → stateDiagram-v2 (created → active → retiring
→ retired with the drain-first refusal annotation).
3 ASCII tree patterns → 3 flowchart TD diagrams (FedRAMP 4-level
boundary CA, financial-services 3-level policy CA, internal-PKI
2-level). Same depth, same path_len + permitted-DNS labels.
runbook-cloud-targets.md
1 dual-column ASCII flow → flowchart TD with two subgraphs
(AWS ACM path, Azure Key Vault path) joining at the audit +
Prometheus exposer node. Same 6-step deploy sequence on each
side with the rollback-on-mismatch step explicit.
runbook-expiry-alerts.md
1 nested-loop ASCII flow → flowchart TD with three nested
subgraphs (per-cert main loop / per-threshold inner / per-channel
fault-isolating dispatch). Same dedup + Prometheus + audit-row
side effects per channel.
Verified locally:
Audit re-run: every fenced block in docs/*.md that does NOT open
with ```mermaid contains zero ASCII box-drawing characters
(┌ └ │ ─ ━ ═ ║ ╔ ╚ ▼ ▲).
Mermaid block tally: 39 across 13 files (up from 32 across 9
files pre-audit). The +7 new blocks are the 4 conversions plus
the lifecycle + 3 tree patterns expanded out of the single
intermediate-ca-hierarchy.md ASCII section.
No code or test changes. Doc-only commit.

web, docs: IssuerHierarchyPage + sysadmin runbook + connectors row (Rank 8 commit 5)
Final commit of the 5-commit Rank 8 chain. Operator-facing surface
on top of the service + handler layers shipped in commits 1-4.
Frontend (web/src):
- api/client.ts: 3 new functions + IntermediateCA interface
(listIntermediateCAs, getIntermediateCA, retireIntermediateCA).
- pages/IssuerHierarchyPage.tsx: recursive nested <ul> render of
the hierarchy tree at /issuers/:id/hierarchy. buildHierarchyTree
is a pure helper that walks the flat list and groups children
on parent_ca_id; the dendrogram view is parking-lot work tracked
in WORKSPACE-ROADMAP. Two-phase retire UX surfaces 'Retire…'
then 'Confirm retire (terminal)' when the row is in retiring
state. Admin gate is enforced at the API; the page renders the
backend's 403 as ErrorState for non-admin callers.
- main.tsx: register the new /issuers/:id/hierarchy route.
CI guard update:
- scripts/ci-guards/T-1-frontend-page-coverage.sh: add
IssuerHierarchyPage to the deferred-test allowlist with the
standard 'why deferred' comment. Admin-gate + recursive build
semantics are already pinned at the backend layer
(intermediate_ca_test.go service tests + intermediate_ca_test.go
handler triplet). Vitest test deferred until next feature
change touches the page.
Docs:
- docs/intermediate-ca-hierarchy.md: new operator runbook
covering:
Concepts (HierarchyMode 'single' vs 'tree', defense-in-depth
on key bytes never persisting on rows).
Lifecycle states + drain-first semantics
(active → retiring → retired with active-children gate).
Three deployment patterns: 4-level FedRAMP boundary CA,
3-level financial-services policy CA, 2-level internal
PKI.
RFC 5280 enforcement (§3.2 self-signed, §4.2.1.9 path-length
tightening, §4.2.1.10 NameConstraints subset).
Migration from single → tree using the load-bearing
TestLocal_HierarchyMode_SingleVsTree_ByteIdentical pin as
the canary.
API reference + observability (IntermediateCAMetrics
Prometheus exposure).
Known limitations + Rank-8 follow-on roadmap.
- docs/connectors.md: extend the Built-in Local CA section with
a 'Tree mode (Rank 8)' paragraph describing the new chain
assembly path + cross-link to docs/intermediate-ca-hierarchy.md.
Roadmap:
- WORKSPACE-ROADMAP.md: 5 follow-on items under a new
'Intermediate CA hierarchy extensions (Rank 8 V2 follow-ons)'
bullet block:
HSM-backed roots (PKCS#11 / cloud KMS drivers via existing
signer.Driver interface — no service-layer change needed).
Automated CA rotation (parallel-validity windows ahead of
expiry).
Intra-hierarchy CRL chaining (per-CA CRL endpoints stitched
at issue time).
NameConstraints policy templates (FedRAMP / financial /
internal PKI declarative templates instead of hand-rolled
JSON).
D3 dendrogram visualization (separate page so the existing
list view stays the default + the dep stays opt-in).
Verified locally:
gofmt: clean.
go vet ./...: exit 0.
tsc --noEmit (web/): exit 0 (no TypeScript errors).
go test -short -count=1 ./internal/api/handler/... + service +
local: ok across all three packages, 4-5s each.
All 24 CI guards: clean
(T-1 frontend-page-coverage with the new
IssuerHierarchyPage allowlist entry; openapi-handler-parity,
M-008 admin-gate, every other guard untouched).
Rank 8 chain complete:

chore: drop 'Infisical' label from internal references
Strategic naming cleanup. Earlier doc-comments + commit messages framed Rank 4 / Rank 5 / Rank 7 work as 'Rank N of the 2026-05-03 Infisical deep-research deliverable' — the 'Infisical' qualifier was a holdover from the original deep-research framing where Infisical (a competing secrets-management platform) was the comparator. Keeping the comparator's name in our source adds noise without value; an external reader sees 'Infisical' and assumes a dependency or shared lineage rather than reading it as the competitive context it was. Mechanical sed across 34 files (32 source / docs + 2 follow-up Python passes to collapse 'deep-research deep-research' duplicates that emerged where the original phrase wrapped across lines): s|Infisical deep-research|deep-research|g s|infisical-deep-research-results|deep-research-results-2026-05-03|g s|infisical-deep-research-prompt|deep-research-prompt-2026-05-03|g s|infisical-deep-research|deep-research|g s|Infisical|deep-research|g s|deep-research deep-research|deep-research|g # collapse-pass Net diff: 63 insertions / 64 deletions across cmd/, docs/, internal/, migrations/. Pure text substitution; zero behavior change. Code path unchanged — go vet clean, tests for TestApproval pass on both internal/service and internal/api/handler packages. Workspace docs (cowork/) carry the same references and will be swept separately — they're not under certctl/ git control. The two filename references (cowork/infisical-deep-research-results.md + cowork/infisical-deep-research-prompt.md) get renamed alongside that sweep to deep-research-results-2026-05-03.md / deep-research-prompt-2026-05-03.md so cross-references in the certctl repo doc-comments resolve cleanly. |

scheduler, certificate, renewal: gate issuance on profile-driven approval
Closes Rank 7 of the 2026-05-03 Infisical deep-research deliverable
(cowork/infisical-deep-research-results.md Part 5). Pre-fix, certctl
issued certificates unattended — every renewal-loop tick that crossed
a renewal threshold created a Job at Status=Pending which the
scheduler dispatched directly to the issuer connector. PCI-DSS Level
1, FedRAMP Moderate / High, SOC 2 Type II, and HIPAA-regulated PHI
customers all ask the same procurement question: "How do you enforce
two-person integrity on cert issuance?" Today's answer: "We don't."
After this commit chain: "Per-profile RequiresApproval=true creates a
parallel ApprovalRequest row; the renewal-loop creates the Job at
Status=AwaitingApproval; an authorized approver (different from the
requester per the same-actor RBAC check) calls
POST /api/v1/approvals/{id}/approve, transitioning the Job to
Pending; the scheduler picks it up."
This commit (4 of 4) wires the gate into the manual TriggerRenewal
entry point + main.go service construction + Config.Approval +
docs + WORKSPACE-ROADMAP follow-up entries. The previous commits

chore: sweep github.com/shankar0123/certctl URL refs to certctl-io/certctl
Post-transfer cosmetic + release-critical URL refresh after moving the
repo from github.com/shankar0123/certctl to github.com/certctl-io/certctl
(2026-05-03). GitHub HTTP redirects continue to forward old URLs forever,
so existing operators are not broken — but aligns the canonical
references with the new owner so:
- procurement engineers / contributors browsing the docs see the right
URL on first read
- operators copying the agent install one-liner hit the new path
directly without going through a redirect
- the Helm chart's default image repository points at the canonical org
registry path
- the OnboardingWizard rendered to first-run UI users shows the new
URL in the install snippets and doc anchor links
- the GitHub Actions release workflow pushes container images to
ghcr.io/certctl-io/certctl-{server,agent} (was: shankar0123)
- the release-notes Markdown body in release.yml — which gets stamped
into every future release page — references the post-transfer
cert-identity (cosign keyless signing now uses the certctl-io
workflow URL) and the post-transfer SLSA provenance source-uri.
Without this, every cosign verify / slsa-verifier command on a
v2.1.0+ release would fail because the cert-identity-regexp would
not match the signing identity GitHub Actions OIDC issues post-
transfer. Old releases (v2.0.67 and earlier) keep their immutable
release-notes pointing at the shankar0123 path and remain
verifiable via their own published instructions.
Customer impact:
- Operators on ghcr.io/shankar0123/certctl-{server,agent}:latest
silently freeze on whatever tag was current at transfer time. They
get no errors; they just stop receiving updates. The next release
notes need a one-line callout (Phase 3.1 of cowork/transfer-
certctl-to-org.md) telling them to update their image path to
ghcr.io/certctl-io/certctl-{server,agent}.
- All other URLs (git clone, install one-liner, raw.githubusercontent
URLs, browser links, GitHub API) continue to resolve via permanent
HTTP redirects. The sweep is cosmetic for those.
Files swept (30 total):
.github/workflows/release.yml — IMAGE_NAMESPACE, source-uri,
cosign cert-identity-regexp, IMAGE= snippet (5 refs total).
CHANGELOG.md, README.md — anchor links, badges, install one-liner,
cosign verify snippets in operator-facing sections.
api/openapi.yaml — info / externalDocs URLs.
install-agent.sh — GITHUB_REPO const + systemd unit Documentation=
field.
deploy/ENVIRONMENTS.md, deploy/helm/{CHART_SUMMARY,INDEX,
INSTALLATION,README}.md, deploy/helm/certctl/{Chart.yaml,
README.md,values.yaml}, deploy/helm/examples/values-*.yaml —
chart docs + image repository defaults across dev / prod-ha
overrides.
docs/{certctl-for-cert-manager-users,connector-iis,connectors,
migrate-from-acmesh,migrate-from-certbot,quickstart,test-env,
why-certctl}.md — operator-facing doc URLs.
examples/{acme-nginx,acme-wildcard-dns01,multi-issuer,
private-ca-traefik,step-ca-haproxy}/docker-compose.yml +
examples/step-ca-haproxy/step-ca-haproxy.md — example image:
paths and accompanying narrative.
web/src/pages/OnboardingWizard.tsx — first-run-UI URL refs (curl
install one-liners, agent docker image path, doc anchor links).
Files intentionally NOT swept (Choice A from cowork/transfer-certctl-
to-org.md):
go.mod, go.sum — module declaration stays github.com/shankar0123/
certctl. Existing imports compile because Go uses the path
declared in go.mod, not the URL it was fetched from. Internal-
only project; no external Go consumers; rename will land as a
mechanical sed when one materializes.
~250 *.go files — every import remains github.com/shankar0123/
certctl/internal/...
deploy/test/f5-mock-icontrol/go.mod — separate test sub-module;
same Choice A logic; module path stays.
Files intentionally NOT swept (other reasons):
README.md lines 244-245 — Scarf-pixel docker-pull commands.
shankar0123.docker.scarf.sh/... is a Scarf-account hostname
(per-user, not per-repo) and the pixel keeps tracking pulls
against the operator's personal Scarf account. Migrating to a
certctl-io Scarf account is a separate decision (create org
Scarf account → re-create package → update README).
deploy/test/f5-mock-icontrol/f5-mock-icontrol — checked-in
compiled binary with shankar0123/certctl baked into Go build
info via the sub-module path. Out of scope for a URL sweep;
will refresh on the next `make test-integration` rebuild.
Verification:
gofmt: clean (no .go files touched).
go vet ./...: clean (verified at this SHA in 1.3 of the transfer
checklist; no .go changes since).
go build ./...: clean (same).
go test -short on representative packages: green (same).
Diff shape: 30 files, 74 insertions / 74 deletions, net-zero size,
