deploy(helm): close Phase 4 — chart surface + DR + ops runbooks
Phase 4 of the certctl architecture diligence remediation closure.
Seven findings, all in deploy/helm/certctl/.
DEPL-H2 (High) — ship deploy/helm/certctl/templates/backup-cronjob.yaml
Operator opt-in via backup.enabled=true. Default OFF. CronJob runs
pg_dump --format=custom --no-owner --no-acl --dbname=certctl
matching the canonical shape in
docs/operator/runbooks/postgres-backup.md (so manual and
automated dumps are byte-identical). Sink: PVC (default) OR S3
via aws-cli. Documented as in-cluster-Postgres only — managed DB
deployments rely on their provider's PITR.
DEPL-M1 (Med) — Helm pre-install/pre-upgrade migration hook
deploy/helm/certctl/templates/migration-job.yaml — runs
`certctl-server --migrate-only` before the server Deployment
rolls. The --migrate-only flag (new in cmd/server/main.go) is a
hermetic schema-mutation pass: load config, open DB pool, run
RunMigrations + RunSeed, exit 0. No HTTP listener, no scheduler,
no signing setup.
Server's boot-time RunMigrations call is now gated on
CERTCTL_MIGRATIONS_VIA_HOOK — when set true, the server skips
the boot path (the hook owns the work). Default still runs at
boot, so Compose / VM / bare-metal deploys are unchanged.
migrations.viaHook: false in values.yaml (off by default).
DEPL-M4 (Med) — explicit Postgres StatefulSet strategy fields
deploy/helm/certctl/templates/postgres-statefulset.yaml adds:
spec.updateStrategy.type: OnDelete
spec.podManagementPolicy: OrderedReady
Operator-controlled Postgres upgrades (the OnDelete strategy
means a chart template tweak no longer triggers an immediate
Postgres restart). OrderedReady aligns with the standard
Postgres-on-Kubernetes pattern for any future HA work.
DEPL-M5 (Med) — per-fleet-size resource ladder documentation
deploy/helm/certctl/values.yaml — extended comments next to
server.resources + agent.resources documenting:
"≤ 500 certs / 100 agents" → defaults are validated
"5K certs / 1K agents" → starter suggestions, TBD Phase 8
"50K certs / 10K agents" → starter suggestions, TBD Phase 8
Numbers for the small-fleet case derive from the measured
baselines in docs/operator/performance-baselines.md
(50ms p50, < 3s for 1000-cert inventory walk, etc.). Larger
fleet numbers explicitly marked TBD pending Phase 8 load-test
runs — operators tune empirically until then.
DEPL-L1 (Low) — Helm rollback runbook
docs/operator/runbooks/rollback.md — covers helm rollback
mechanics, the schema-migration manual-cleanup path (when
*.down.sql files apply vs. when full restore is the only safe
path), and the per-migration-class safe-to-rollback table.
DEPL-L2 (Low) — Prometheus AlertManager rules
deploy/helm/certctl/templates/prometheusrules.yaml — opt-in via
monitoring.prometheusRules.enabled=true. Default OFF. Four
starter rules using verified metric names from
internal/api/handler/metrics.go:
CertctlCertificateExpiringSoon (certctl_certificate_expiring_soon)
CertctlAgentOffline ((agent_total - agent_online) > 0 for 1h)
CertctlJobFailureRateHigh (failure rate over 5% for 15m)
CertctlIssuanceFailures (any failures over 15m window)
All thresholds operator-tunable via
monitoring.prometheusRules.thresholds.* in values.
DEPL-L3 (Low) — Prometheus bearer-token setup runbook
docs/operator/runbooks/prometheus-bearer-token.md — documents
the API-key + Secret + values wiring for the RBAC-gated
/api/v1/metrics/prometheus scrape endpoint. End-to-end
procedure with troubleshooting steps + rotation guide.
CI guard: scripts/ci-guards/helm-templates-lint.sh
Six-combo matrix: defaults / backup PVC / backup S3 /
prometheusRules / migrations.viaHook / all-on. Each runs helm
template + checks render success. helm lint also gated.
Wired into the auto-pickup loop in .github/workflows/ci.yml;
azure/setup-helm@b9e51907 (v4.3.0, SHA-pinned per Phase 1
RED-2) installs helm v3.16.0 on the runner.
Verification (all pass):
ls deploy/helm/certctl/templates/{backup-cronjob,migration-job,prometheusrules}.yaml
grep -E 'updateStrategy|podManagementPolicy' deploy/helm/certctl/templates/postgres-statefulset.yaml # 2 matches
helm template deploy/helm/certctl/ --set backup.enabled=true \
--set monitoring.prometheusRules.enabled=true --set migrations.viaHook=true \
| grep -E "kind: (CronJob|PrometheusRule|Job)" # 3 matches
helm lint deploy/helm/certctl/ # 0 failed
ls docs/operator/runbooks/{rollback,prometheus-bearer-token}.md
bash scripts/ci-guards/helm-templates-lint.sh # 6/6 matrix combinations pass
Go build clean (cmd/server compiles, migrate-only path verified by
the build target). YAML validated.

fix(ci): enable compile-generator in SLSA L3 binary provenance
The SLSA reusable workflow generator_generic_slsa3.yml@v2.1.0 has two
paths for fetching its generator binary:
1. (Default) download a pre-built binary from a GitHub release of
slsa-framework/slsa-github-generator. Releases are identified by
TAG NAME (vX.Y.Z), not commit SHA.
2. (compile-generator: true) build the generator from source inside
the workflow run, using whatever ref the workflow was pinned to.

docs: shift to Pattern A in history-normalization.md
Phase 0 follow-up — Pattern A migration (post-Pattern-C trailer strip + archive tag deletion). Updates the public-facing explanation to match the post-strip state: no more Co-authored-by trailers in commit messages, no more archive tag on origin. The off-platform bundle remains as the canonical pre-rewrite preservation record. Why the change from Pattern C → A: the Co-authored-by trailers added in the original rewrite caused GitHub to render the AI identities (claude, cowork, certctl-bot, certctl-copilot, github-actions) as co-author chips on every AI-touched commit AND count them in the repo's contributor graph. Operator opted to clean the contributor list. The legal posture (counsel-signed AI-authorship declaration in cowork/legal/) is unchanged — only the git-history layer's transparency signal was dialed back. Bundle at cowork/legal/pre-rewrite-2026-05-13.bundle still preserves the original history (all 14 author identities + un-stripped commit messages) for any future forensic / diligence question.v2.1.1 |

fix(ci): set CERTCTL_ACME_INSECURE_ACK=true in test compose
Phase 2 SEC-M4 (commit 5062624) added a fail-closed pairing requirement: when CERTCTL_ACME_INSECURE=true, the server refuses to start unless CERTCTL_ACME_INSECURE_ACK=true is also set. The integration test compose at deploy/docker-compose.test.yml has been setting CERTCTL_ACME_INSECURE=true (correct — Pebble's self-signed ACME directory needs TLS verification disabled) but never set the paired ACK, so the certctl-test-server container restart-loops with: Failed to load configuration: phase-2 SEC-M4 fail-closed guard: CERTCTL_ACME_INSECURE=true but CERTCTL_ACME_INSECURE_ACK is not true — refuse to start. This breaks the deploy-vendor-e2e CI job that exercises the EST/ACME integration stack. Fix: set CERTCTL_ACME_INSECURE_ACK=true alongside the existing CERTCTL_ACME_INSECURE=true. The ACK posture is correct here because the integration suite is built around Pebble's self-signed directory — that's the design. The guard's purpose (block accidental production deploys with TLS verify disabled) is preserved by the ACK still being explicit per-environment, not a fail-open default. |

docs: explain the Phase 0 git history normalization
Public-facing transparency artifact for the 2026-05-13 git-history rewrite. Plain-language explanation of: what changed (uniform author metadata to canonical operator identity + Co-authored-by trailers preserving AI involvement), why (LLC ownership transfer to certctl LLC + pre-traction cleanup), what is preserved (archive tag + off-platform bundle), how to recover a stale clone, and the operational note that external PRs aren't accepted until a CLA workflow is set up. The README pointer to this doc is intentionally omitted — the page is discoverable via grep against the repo (`history-normalization`), via the next CHANGELOG entry, and via any forensic observer who notices the rewrite and grep-searches for an explanation. Closes the public-transparency leg of Phase 0 (Path B2, Pattern C). |

legal: addlicense headers + normalize legacy variants (Phase 0 RED-4)
Phase 0 closure (Path B2, post-rewrite):
addlicense sweep — adds the canonical certctl LLC copyright + BUSL-1.1
SPDX header to every production Go file. Template:
// Copyright 2026 certctl LLC. All rights reserved.
// SPDX-License-Identifier: BUSL-1.1
Coverage: 338 / 338 production Go files (cmd/ + internal/, excluding
*_test.go and **/testdata/**). Pre-sweep coverage was 22 / 338 (6.5%);
post-sweep is 338 / 338 (100%).
Normalized 22 pre-existing legacy headers (`// Copyright (c) certctl`
+ `// SPDX-License-Identifier: BSL-1.1`) and 1 file using a
`Certctl Contributors` attribution. The legacy SPDX ID `BSL-1.1`
is non-standard; the official SPDX identifier for Business Source
License 1.1 is `BUSL-1.1` (capital U). All 338 files now share the
canonical form.
Generated via:
addlicense -c "certctl LLC" -y 2026 \

legal: ship NOTICE + THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md (Phase 0 RED-3)
Phase 0 closure (Path B2, post-rewrite, post-LICENSE-flip):
NOTICE — top-level file at repo root, certctl LLC copyright + BSL
1.1 reference + pointer at LICENSE and THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md.
Industry-standard format.
THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md — full inventory of binary-link dependencies:
- 60 Go modules from `go list -deps ./...` (excluding stdlib +
the certctl module itself). License distribution: 28 Apache-2.0,
15 BSD-2/3-Clause, 14 MIT, 2 MPL-2.0, 1 ISC.
- 48 npm production transitive deps from walking the
`web/package.json` dependencies graph (excludes devDependencies
— Vitest, Playwright, Vite, etc. don't ship in the bundle).
License distribution: 35 MIT, 11 ISC, 1 BSD-3-Clause, 1
MIT-AND-ISC.
Test-fixture-only deps (Cisco libest + f5-mock-icontrol) noted at
the end of THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md but excluded from the main table
because they don't ship in any distributed release artifact (libest
is a Docker sidecar invoked only by the est-e2e profile;
f5-mock-icontrol rebuilds from source per Phase 1 RED-1 closure).
Generation method documented inline so the file can be regenerated
deterministically when deps change. No tool dependency vendored —
the underlying `go list` + filesystem walk approach works against
any GOMODCACHE + node_modules state.

license: flip Licensor to certctl LLC
Phase 0 closure (Path B2, post-rewrite): the codebase is now legally
owned by certctl LLC, the operator's incorporated entity. The BSL 1.1
Licensor field and the © copyright statement both flip from the
natural-person 'Shankar Kambam' to the legal entity 'certctl LLC'.
This is the legal-entity layer of Phase 0 — the git-history layer
landed in the rewrite that produced this commit's parent's parent.
The Additional Use Grant carve-out ('Commercial Certificate Service'),
the Change Date (March 14, 2076), and the rest of the BSL parameters
are unchanged.

chore: ignore cowork/ (operator scratch space)
Phase 0 closure prep: cowork/ holds the operator's internal legal/audit/strategy artifacts — counsel-signed declaration, the filter-repo callback for the history rewrite, the pre-rewrite bundle backup, audit scratch HTML. These are private operator artifacts and must never accidentally land in the public repo. The public-facing description of the Phase 0 rewrite lives at docs/history-normalization.md (separate commit, post-rewrite). This gitignore entry is the pre-rewrite version so the rewrite's output state has cowork/ ignored from commit 1. |

fix(ci): exclude Playwright e2e specs from Vitest run
The Phase 3 Playwright harness stub landed
web/src/__tests__/e2e/smoke.spec.ts using @playwright/test's
test.describe(). Vitest's default include glob
('**/*.{test,spec}.{js,...}') matches that file and tries to
execute it under jsdom, but test.describe() from Playwright
throws:
Error: Playwright Test did not expect test.describe() to be
called here.
The Frontend Build CI job (npm run test → vitest run) hits this
on every push.
Fix: extend the Vitest exclude list to skip src/__tests__/e2e/**.
Playwright still runs them via 'npm run e2e' against
web/playwright.config.ts (testDir './src/__tests__/e2e').
Verified locally that fast-glob matches the file at that pattern.
configDefaults imported from 'vitest/config' preserves Vitest's
own default excludes (node_modules + .git) alongside the
addition.

fix(ci): close two CI regressions from Phase 3 + Phase 5
Phase 3 added @playwright/test@^1.49.0 to web/package.json and
Phase 5 added orval@^7.0.0, both without regenerating
web/package-lock.json. CI's npm ci in both the Frontend Build job
and the Dockerfile frontend stage failed:
npm error Missing: @playwright/test@1.60.0 from lock file
npm error Missing: orval ... from lock file
Regenerate web/package-lock.json with:
cd web && npm install --package-lock-only --no-audit
(+6990 / -1893 lines — orval pulls a deep transitive graph). No
node_modules download required; lockfile-only mode keeps the
operation light. Verified clean with 'npm ci --dry-run' (612
packages would install).
Phase 2's SEC-H3 fail-closed branch (CERTCTL_DEMO_MODE_ACK_TS
required when CERTCTL_DEMO_MODE_ACK=true) broke four pre-existing
tests in internal/config/config_test.go that set DemoModeAck=true
without setting DemoModeAckTS:
TestValidate_AuthTypeNone_NonLoopback_AckPasses (l.722)
TestValidate_Bundle2_PlaceholderAuthSecret_DemoAckExempt (l.1799)
TestValidate_Bundle2_PlaceholderEncryptionKey_DemoAckExempt (l.1832)
TestValidate_Bundle2_CORSWildcard_DemoAckExempt (l.1879)
Each test now sets DemoModeAckTS alongside DemoModeAck=true:
DemoModeAckTS: strconv.FormatInt(time.Now().Unix(), 10)
strconv + time were already imported in config_test.go. Verified
locally: 'go test ./internal/config/... -count=1' passes clean
(0.700s), gofmt clean, go vet clean.
Root cause was the sandbox 'disk-full' constraint that forced
deferring npm install to the operator's workstation — but CI runs
npm ci before any workstation operation. Lockfile-only regen
(this commit) is the right fix; works in low-disk environments
because no node_modules download happens.

ci: OpenAPI parity reconciliation + codegen scaffolding (Phase 5 — ARCH-H1 / ARCH-M6)
Phase 5 reconciliation: the audit's headline framing 'ARCH-H1 = 62-route
OpenAPI gap' was a measurement scoping error. Every one of the 209
unique router routes is already accounted for — 154 in api/openapi.yaml,
55 in api/openapi-handler-exceptions.yaml. The existing
openapi-handler-parity.sh CI guard already enforces this and passes
clean today. The audit subtracted operation-count from route-count
without accounting for the documented exceptions YAML.
Where real work remains (and what this PR does about it)
=========================================================
Of the 64 documented exceptions, 35 are legitimate wire-protocol
carve-outs that MUST stay (SCEP RFC 8894 × 8 entries, ACME RFC 8555
default + per-profile × 27 entries — they're protocol contracts, not
REST resources). The remaining 29 are REST-shaped routes whose
OpenAPI ops were deferred during their original Bundle 2 /
audit-2026-05-10 / 2026-05-11 work:
- auth/sessions (3)
- auth/oidc admin (9)
- auth/breakglass admin (4)
- auth/users mgmt (3)
- auth/runtime-config (1)
- auth/demo-residual/cleanup (1)
- audit/export (1)
- auth/logout (1)
- auth/breakglass/login (1)
- auth/oidc {login,callback,bcl} (3)
- oidc/providers/{id}/jwks-status (1)
- + 2 other auth-flow routes
Burn-down plan in 3 sprints (documented in
api/openapi-handler-exceptions.yaml header):
Sprint A: Cluster 1 — sessions + oidc admin (12 ops)
Sprint B: Cluster 2 — breakglass + users + runtime-config (8 ops)
Sprint C: Cluster 3 — audit/export + auth flows (9 ops)
This PR does NOT author the 29 OpenAPI ops; each needs request/
response schemas, not placeholders, and the design work is too
large for one PR. The reconciliation here is documentation + a CI
guard that will fail any future schema-drift, plus the scaffolding
needed for sub-phase 5b.
Sub-phase 5b: codegen scaffolding
==================================
Adds the orval scaffolding without running npm install (sandbox
disk-full; first 'npm install' + 'npm run generate' happens on the
operator's workstation):
- web/orval.config.ts — codegen config emits react-query hooks
from api/openapi.yaml into web/src/api/generated/
- web/package.json — adds orval@^7.0.0 devDep + 'generate' npm script
- web/CODEGEN.md — operator-facing migration doc:
first-time setup, per-consumer migration pattern, burn-down plan,
CI-guard rules
- scripts/ci-guards/openapi-codegen-drift.sh — blocks the build
when api/openapi.yaml changes but web/src/api/generated/ wasn't
regenerated alongside. Currently no-op (the directory doesn't
exist yet); activates from the first 'npm run generate' run.
The legacy web/src/api/client.ts stays in tree per the phase prompt's
'do not delete in same PR as codegen' rule. Consumers migrate one
page at a time as their OpenAPI ops land; client.ts deletion is a
SEPARATE follow-up PR after the last consumer migrates.
Updates to existing guard + exceptions YAML
============================================
- scripts/ci-guards/openapi-handler-parity.sh header rewritten
with the Phase 5 reconciliation numbers (220/158/64/0) and the
wire-protocol vs REST-deferred classification.
- api/openapi-handler-exceptions.yaml header rewritten with the
35/29 split + the 3-sprint burn-down plan. Each exception entry
is unchanged; the header now documents which entries are
permanent (wire-protocol) vs temporary (REST-deferred).
Sandbox limitations + operator follow-up
=========================================
- 'npm install' was NOT run from the sandbox (sessions volume
99%-full, 142 MB free). The operator runs 'cd web && npm install'
on their workstation; this lands orval@^7.0.0 in node_modules,
then 'cd web && npm run generate' produces the initial
web/src/api/generated/ tree.
- First per-consumer migration (suggested: web/src/pages/AuthSettings
or one of the operator-decision pages) lands in a follow-up PR
after npm install completes.
- The 29-op OpenAPI burn-down is a 2-sprint effort tracked under
ARCH-H1 in cowork/certctl-architecture-diligence-audit.html.
All CI guards (openapi-handler-parity, openapi-codegen-drift, plus
every existing guard) verified clean by running each individually.
Closes:
- cowork/certctl-architecture-diligence-audit.html#fix-ARCH-H1
(reconciliation: gap is 0 with exceptions accounted for; burn-down
plan documented for follow-up sprints)
- cowork/certctl-architecture-diligence-audit.html#fix-ARCH-M6
(codegen scaffolding shipped; client.ts deletion follows in a
subsequent PR after consumers migrate)

ci: floor raise + doc drift (Phase 3 closure — TEST-H1/H2/M1/M2/M3/M4/L1, ARCH-H3/L1/L2/L3/L4)
Twelve findings from the architecture diligence audit's Phase 3 bundle
closed in one PR. All touch the CI workflows + small doc-drift fixes
across the production Go tree + migration headers.
CI workflow changes
====================
TEST-H1 — Race detection on ./... -short
.github/workflows/ci.yml:106 was a 9-package explicit list. Audit
finding TEST-H1 flagged that 25+ packages (internal/auth/*,
internal/repository/*, internal/mcp, internal/scep, internal/pkcs7,
internal/api/router, internal/api/acme, internal/cli, internal/cms,
internal/config, internal/deploy, internal/integration,
internal/ratelimit, internal/secret, internal/trustanchor, all of
cmd/) silently dropped off race coverage.
Post-fix: 'go test -race -short ./... -count=1 -timeout 600s'.
76 testing.Short() guards already cover testcontainers + live-DB
integration suites, so -short keeps the long-running tests out.
TEST-H2 — Cross-platform build matrix
New 'cross-platform-build' job in ci.yml. Matrix:
ubuntu-latest + windows-latest + macos-latest, fail-fast: false.
Builds cmd/server + cmd/agent + cmd/cli + cmd/mcp-server on each.
Catches Windows-specific regressions (path separators, file
permissions, exec.Command semantics) the pre-Phase-3 Ubuntu-only
CI missed.
TEST-L1 — actions/setup-go cache: true (explicit)
setup-go v5 defaults cache: true; making it explicit so a future
setup-go upgrade can't silently flip it. Re-runs hit the Go module
+ build cache instead of recompiling cold.
TEST-M1 — Mutation-testing floor at 55%
security-deep-scan.yml::go-mutesting step rewritten. Removed
continue-on-error + per-package '|| true'. New post-loop check
extracts every 'The mutation score is X.YZ' line and fails the
step if any package drops below 0.55. Floor rationale: starter
ratio catches major regressions without rejecting the audit's
'this is OK' steady state; raise quarterly.
TEST-M2 — 3 advisory deep-scan gates promoted to blocking
Removed continue-on-error: true from:
- gosec (filtered to G201/G202/G304/G108 high-signal rules:
SQL-injection + path-traversal + pprof-exposed)
- osv-scanner (multi-ecosystem CVE; complements govulncheck
which is already blocking in ci.yml)
- trivy image scan (--severity HIGH,CRITICAL --exit-code 1)
continue-on-error count: 15 → 11.
ZAP / schemathesis / nuclei / testssl stay advisory because their
false-positive rates on https://localhost:8443-targeted DAST runs
are high.
TEST-M3 — Playwright harness stub
web/package.json adds '@playwright/test' devDep + 'e2e' / 'e2e:install'
npm scripts. web/playwright.config.ts ships single chromium project
with webServer block pointing at 'npm run dev'. web/src/__tests__/
e2e/smoke.spec.ts proves the harness wires through. The full 15-flow
suite ships in frontend-design-audit Phase 8 (TEST-H1 in THAT audit);
this is the wiring + a single smoke test as the regression floor.
New Makefile target: 'make e2e-test'.
Doc/code drift fixes
====================
TEST-M4 + ARCH-L2 — Skip inventory artifact + CI guard
scripts/skip-inventory.sh walks every t.Skip site under cmd/ +
internal/ + deploy/test/ and emits docs/testing/skip-inventory.md
grouped by package with file:line:expression triples. Current
inventory: 142 t.Skip sites, 76 testing.Short() guards.
scripts/ci-guards/skip-inventory-drift.sh regenerates and fails on
diff (excluding the 'Last reviewed' timestamp line which drifts
daily). The Markdown is the canonical acquisition-diligence artifact
for 'what tests are being skipped and why.'
ARCH-H3 — MCP catalogue floor reconciliation
Audit framing was '121 vs floor 150 — doc/code drift.' Live count
via the test's actual regex over all 5 tool files (tools.go +
tools_audit_fix.go + tools_auth.go + tools_auth_bundle2.go +
tools_est.go): 155 unique 'Name: "certctl_*"' declarations.
Pre-Phase-3 audit measured tools.go in isolation (121) and missed
the other 4 files (+34 unique names). The test at
internal/ciparity/surface_parity_test.go::TestSurfaceParity_MCP
passes today (155 ≥ 150). Added a clarifying comment near
mcpBaselineFloor explaining the measurement scope so future
reviewers don't repeat the audit's framing error.
STATUS: stale — no code drift, just a measurement scoping error in
the audit.
ARCH-L1 — panic() rationale comments
5 panic sites in production Go (excluding _test.go):
- internal/repository/postgres/tx.go:84
- internal/service/issuer.go:861 (mustJSON)
- internal/service/est.go:728 (mustParseTime)
- internal/service/acme.go:1288 (rand source failure — already documented)
- internal/pkcs7/certrep.go:270 (OID marshal — already documented)
Added ARCH-L1 rationale comments to the 3 sites that didn't have
them. All 5 are defensible impossible-path / rethrow / hardcoded-
constant guards.
ARCH-L3 — Migration IF-NOT-EXISTS carve-outs
4 migrations skip the literal 'IF NOT EXISTS' token but ARE
idempotent via different Postgres patterns:
- 000014_policy_violation_severity_check.up.sql: ALTER TABLE
ADD CONSTRAINT CHECK doesn't accept IF NOT EXISTS; idempotency

New CI guard scripts/ci-guards/no-todo-in-prod.sh grep-fails any
new TODO/FIXME in cmd/ + internal/ (excluding _test.go); allows
'see #N' / 'see #<descriptor>' patterns.
Sandbox limitation
==================
The 6.1 GB certctl working tree fills the sandbox volume; go1.25.10
toolchain download fails with 'no space left on device' (sandbox has
1.25.9; go.mod requires 1.25.10). Local 'go test' / 'go build' NOT
run in this commit. Operator must run 'make verify' on their
workstation before push per CLAUDE.md operating rules.
The smoke.spec.ts NOT executed in the sandbox (no chromium installed).
Operator runs 'cd web && npm install && npx playwright install
--with-deps chromium && npm run e2e' on first wire-up.
All CI guards (no-todo-in-prod, skip-inventory-drift, G-3
env-docs-drift, doc-rot-detector, and every existing guard) verified
clean by running each individually.

config: default hardening + operator docs (Phase 2 closure — SEC-H1, SEC-H3, SEC-M4, DEPL-H1, DEPL-M2 + doc-only carve-outs)
Eleven findings from the architecture diligence audit's Phase 2 bundle
closed in one PR. All touch the same backend config + Helm chart +
operator docs surface, so reviewing in one diff is the natural fit.
config.go: three new fail-closed Validate() branches behind sentinels
=====================================================================
Three new error sentinels exported from internal/config/config.go for
tests to pin via errors.Is + message-text:
- ErrAgentBootstrapTokenRequired (SEC-H1)
- ErrACMEInsecureWithoutAck (SEC-M4)
- ErrDemoModeAckExpired (SEC-H3)
SEC-H1 (staged): introduces CERTCTL_AGENT_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN_DENY_EMPTY
as an opt-in feature flag. When true AND the bootstrap token is empty,
Validate() returns ErrAgentBootstrapTokenRequired and the server
refuses to start. Default in THIS release: false (warn-mode
pass-through preserved). WORKSPACE-ROADMAP.md schedules the default
flip to true for v2.2.0 — operators get one upgrade window.
SEC-M4: upgrades the existing boot-time WARN log for
CERTCTL_ACME_INSECURE=true into a hard refuse-to-start gate behind
CERTCTL_ACME_INSECURE_ACK=true. The ACK env var must be paired with
the existing INSECURE flag; either alone fails closed. The boot-time
WARN log at cmd/server/main.go:611 continues to fire for the ACK'd
case so every restart logs the reminder.
SEC-H3: tightens the sticky DemoModeAck bit so it expires after 24h.
When DemoModeAck=true, Validate() now requires CERTCTL_DEMO_MODE_ACK_TS
to be set as a unix-epoch timestamp within the last 24h (24h-tolerance
on the past side, 1-minute clock-skew on the future side). Catches the
"forgotten demo deployment promoted to production" failure mode —
next container restart past 24h refuses unless re-ack'd.
Tests in internal/config/config_test.go cover every new branch:
positive (passes when properly set), negative (each fail-closed path
fires with the matching sentinel + message-text). 11 new tests added.
Helm chart + HA runbook (DEPL-H1)
=================================
Created docs/operator/runbooks/ha.md documenting the three values
flips required for production HA: server.replicas, podDisruptionBudget,
service.sessionAffinity. Cross-link comments added to
deploy/helm/certctl/values.yaml next to the server.replicas (line 19)
and podDisruptionBudget (line 566) defaults. DEFAULTS DO NOT CHANGE
— that's the point per the prompt's 'do not flip networkPolicy default'
guidance: a default-enabled PDB blocks fresh helm install on
single-node clusters.
CI guard (DEPL-M2)
==================
scripts/ci-guards/no-change-me-in-prod-compose.sh grep-fails any
'change-me-' literal in compose files OTHER than docker-compose.demo.yml.
Catches the placeholder-credential-leak regression one layer earlier
than the runtime Validate() fail-closed guards from Bundle 2 (2026-05-12).
Excludes comment lines so docs explaining the pattern don't trip the
guard. Verified to fire on a synthetic leak; clean on the current tree.
Consolidated 'Security carve-outs' doc section
==============================================
docs/operator/security.md grows by one new section documenting the
seven existing carve-outs in one canonical place:
- SEC-M3: 3 InsecureSkipVerify=true sites (Agent dev, verify probe, tlsprobe)
- SEC-M5: F5 connector InsecureSkipVerify per-config field
- SEC-M4: ACME insecure + new ACK gate
- SEC-L1: CSP 'unsafe-inline' on style-src (Tailwind carve-out)
- SEC-L2: break-glass Argon2id rest-defense reminder
- SEC-L3: 1 MB body-size cap + CERTCTL_MAX_BODY_SIZE override
- DEPL-M2: change-me-* placeholder credentials in demo overlay
- DEPL-M3: K8s NetworkPolicy operator-opt-in default
Each entry cites the file:line, the rationale for the carve-out, and
the operator action.
CHANGELOG + ENVIRONMENTS coverage
==================================
CHANGELOG.md grows by one new '### Breaking changes (scheduled for
v2.2.0)' section under Unreleased, documenting SEC-H1 / SEC-M4 / SEC-H3
with explicit upgrade-window guidance for each.
deploy/ENVIRONMENTS.md adds five rows: AGENT_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN +
AGENT_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN_DENY_EMPTY + DEMO_MODE_ACK + DEMO_MODE_ACK_TS +
ACME_INSECURE_ACK. G-3 env-docs-drift CI guard stays clean.
WORKSPACE-ROADMAP.md (cowork-side) schedules the SEC-H1 default-flip
for v2.2.0.
Sandbox limitation
==================
The certctl repo's working tree is 6.1 GB which fills the sandbox
volume; the go1.25.10 toolchain download (go.mod requires it,
sandbox has 1.25.9) keeps failing on disk-full. Local 'go build' /
'go test' were NOT run in this commit's verification path.
make verify MUST be run on the operator's workstation before push
per CLAUDE.md operating rules.
CI guards (no-change-me, G-3 env-docs-drift, doc-rot-detector, +
all existing) verified clean by running each individually.

ci: supply-chain hardening (Phase 1 closure — RED-1, RED-2, TEST-L2)
Three findings from the certctl architecture diligence audit's Phase 1
bundle (Supply-Chain Hardening) closed together in one PR since they all
touch .github/workflows/ + repo root.
RED-1 — delete tracked precompiled binary
- deploy/test/f5-mock-icontrol/f5-mock-icontrol (8.6 MB ARM64 ELF) was
tracked alongside the Go source that builds it. The fixture's
Dockerfile already uses a multi-stage build that re-runs
'go build' inside the container (line 13), so the tracked binary
was vestigial — never actually consumed by the test wiring.
- git rm'd. Path added to .gitignore so it doesn't re-land.
- No Makefile target needed; the Dockerfile is the rebuild path.
RED-2 — SHA-pin every GitHub Action
- Pre: 37 of 41 'uses:' lines were tag-pinned (@v4 etc); only
4 were SHA-pinned (sigstore/cosign-installer + anchore/sbom-action).
- Post: 0 / 41. Every 'uses:' line is now '@<40-char-sha> # vN'
(the trailing comment preserves the human-readable version for
operator audit). SHA-pinning closes the standard supply-chain
attack vector against GitHub Actions consumers.
- SHAs resolved live via the GitHub API; spot-checked one.
TEST-L2 — npm audit hard gate
- Added 'npm audit --omit=dev --audit-level=high' step to the
Frontend Build job in ci.yml. --omit=dev excludes vitest/vite/
eslint/etc which don't ship to operators.
- Local run today: 0 vulnerabilities; gate enters with no triage
backlog. Catches future regressions.
New CI guards (regression-prevention):
- scripts/ci-guards/no-tag-pinned-actions.sh — fails the build if
a future PR adds 'uses: foo/bar@v2' instead of SHA-pinning.
- scripts/ci-guards/no-precompiled-binary.sh — runs file(1) over
git ls-files output; fails on any tracked ELF/Mach-O/PE.
- Both pass locally. CI's existing loop over scripts/ci-guards/*.sh
picks them up automatically.

docs(readme): fix quickstart $EDITOR portability bug
The production-path quickstart at README.md:103-108 used `$EDITOR
deploy/.env` literally — assumes the operator has $EDITOR exported
in their shell. On a fresh macOS / zsh session (default install,
nothing in .zshrc), $EDITOR is unset and the shell expands the
command to ` deploy/.env` with a leading empty arg, which zsh tries
to execute as a binary:
shankar@macbookpro certctl % $EDITOR deploy/.env
zsh: permission denied: deploy/.env
The escalation reflex makes it worse — `sudo $EDITOR deploy/.env`
expands to `sudo deploy/.env` (sudo strips env by default), which
sudo dispatches as a command lookup against PATH:
sudo: deploy/.env: command not found
Net: a new-user quickstart that fails on the second command of the
production path with two opaque errors back-to-back.
Replace with the POSIX-portable default-fallback form:
"${EDITOR:-nano}" deploy/.env
`nano` is pre-installed on macOS (BSD nano) and every mainstream
Linux distro, so the fallback always resolves. The user's preferred
editor (vim/emacs/code) is still honored if they have $EDITOR set.
Added a parenthetical reminder so the operator who has a strong
editor preference knows they can substitute.
Verified no other phantom-EDITOR sites in README / docs/getting-started
/ docs/operator via:
grep -nE '\$EDITOR\b' README.md docs/getting-started/*.md docs/operator/*.md

docs: remove internal engineering docs; docs must be tool- or story-relevant
Operator policy: docs in the public repo must help (a) a user
deploying certctl or (b) the product story. Internal engineering
process documentation belongs in cowork/ scratchpads or in git
commit history, not docs/.
Removed (docs/contributor/, 8 files, 2,323 lines):
- release-sign-off.md — internal release-day checklist
- ci-pipeline.md — what runs in CI (internal)
- ci-guards.md — what the guards are (internal)
- testing-strategy.md — internal testing strategy
- qa-test-suite.md — internal QA reference (445 lines)
- qa-prerequisites.md — internal QA setup
- gui-qa-checklist.md — manual GUI QA checklist
- test-environment.md — 1,103-line redundant with
docs/getting-started/quickstart.md +
docs/getting-started/advanced-demo.md
Removed supporting script:
- scripts/qa-doc-seed-count.sh — CI guard for the deleted
qa-test-suite.md seed-data table
Cross-reference cleanup:
- README.md: dropped the Contributor audience row + footer
pointer to docs/contributor/.
- Makefile: dropped `verify-docs` target + qa-stats comment refs.
- .github/workflows/ci.yml: dropped the QA-doc seed-count drift
CI step + dead comment refs.
- docs/reference/cli.md: repointed qa-prerequisites.md → quickstart.md.
- docs/operator/performance-baselines.md: dropped ci-pipeline.md
cross-ref.
- scripts/ci-guards/README.md: dropped the 'Guards explicitly
NOT here' section that referenced the deleted QA-doc guards.
G-3 env-docs-drift guard improvements (a real consequence: deleting
the contributor docs surfaced that some env vars only had a home
there). Refit the guard to the new doc topology:
- Defined-scan widened from `config.go + cmd/*` to all of `cmd/ +
internal/` (production code), excluding `*_test.go` — catches
service-layer env vars like CERTCTL_STEPCA_ROOT_CERT and
CERTCTL_ZEROSSL_EAB_URL that were previously invisible to the
guard.
- Docs-scan widened to include deploy/ENVIRONMENTS.md (the
canonical env-var inventory table — should have been in scope
from day one). Kept narrow to README + docs/ + deploy/helm/ +
ENVIRONMENTS.md to avoid pulling in compose/test fixtures.
- ALLOWED filter now applies to both DOCS_ONLY and CONFIG_ONLY
directions, so dynamic per-profile dispatch surfaces
(CERTCTL_SCEP_PROFILE_<NAME>_*, CERTCTL_EST_PROFILE_<NAME>_*,
CERTCTL_QA_*) don't need static doc entries.
- Added CERTCTL_SCEP_PROFILE_[A-Z_]+ and CERTCTL_EST_PROFILE_[A-Z_]+
to ALLOWED for the same reason.
deploy/ENVIRONMENTS.md: added CERTCTL_ZEROSSL_EAB_URL row — real
operator override (overrides the ZeroSSL EAB-credentials endpoint;
read at internal/connector/issuer/acme/acme.go:372) that was
defined in Go source but never documented. G-3 caught it after the
defined-scan widened.
scripts/ci-guards/S-1-hardcoded-source-counts.sh: removed dead
WORKSPACE-CHANGELOG.md allowlist entry (the file was deleted in
the prior workspace cleanup).
Verified:
All 35 scripts/ci-guards/*.sh green (FAIL=0).
No remaining references to docs/contributor/ or qa-doc-seed-count
in tracked files.

docs(b12): observability reference + Postgres backup runbook
Closes acquisition-diligence Bundle 12 — Observability, DR,
Operations Receipts, And Performance Proof. Source IDs: D5, D6, D8,
T9, finding 7, OPS-H1, OPS-M1, OPS-M2, LOW-7.
Two new operator-facing references; both non-audit-framed per the
Bundle 5 doc-placement policy.
docs/operator/observability.md — single canonical statement of what
certctl emits, what it doesn't, and what survives a restart:
- Metrics surface: both /api/v1/metrics (JSON) and
/api/v1/metrics/prometheus (text exposition v0.0.4); inventory of
certctl_certificate_* gauges + certctl_issuance_duration_seconds
per-issuer-type histogram + certctl_uptime_seconds.
- Prometheus library vs hand-rolled exposition: explicit scope
statement — hand-rolled fmt.Fprintf is intentional for v2.x given
the shallow metric surface; client_golang migration tracked as
v3 item (closes OPS-M1).
- Tracing: explicit deferral — no OTel SDK setup, OTel packages
are indirect-only in go.mod, no spans, no OTLP exporter; tracked
as v3 item; in the meantime structured logs carry request_id and
certctl_issuance_duration_seconds carries the per-issuer latency
signal (closes OPS-M2).
- Logging: structured JSON via log/slog; CERTCTL_LOG_LEVEL control;
no key material / bearer tokens / session cookies in log lines.
- Rate-limit semantics under restarts + replicas: per-process,
in-memory, reset-on-restart, NOT shared across replicas; full
inventory of the 5 limiter call sites (break-glass login,
SCEP/Intune per-device, EST per-principal CSR, EST HTTP-Basic
source-IP, ACME per-account); multi-replica + sticky-session
implications; database-backed sliding window deferred to v3
(closes D8).
- Performance harness scope: cross-references the explicit
'What it explicitly does NOT measure' list in
deploy/test/loadtest/README.md (closes LOW-7 + finding 7).
docs/operator/runbooks/postgres-backup.md — operator-runnable
backup procedure:
- Inventory of what to back up (DB + operator-managed file
material that lives outside the DB: CA keys, RA keys, OCSP
responder keys, trust bundles).
- Logical backup recipe with docker-compose + Kubernetes variants,
integrity verification step, off-host storage step.
- Physical / PITR recipe pointing at pgbackrest / wal-g
(certctl ships nothing here — standard PostgreSQL DBA work).
- Three sample automation paths (in-cluster Postgres → S3 CronJob,
managed Postgres PITR, self-hosted VM systemd timer + restic).
- Quarterly restore-dry-run procedure.
- Helm CronJob template deliberately not shipped — three
documented reasons (deployment topology / secret-management
integration / off-host storage all vary by operator) plus
roadmap entry for shipping a starter template when a real
operator asks for one (closes D6 + OPS-H1).
Both new docs wired into docs/README.md Operator + Runbooks tables.
D5 (ServiceMonitor) and T9 (canonical k6 load-test) were already
shipped in Bundle 3 (deploy/helm/certctl/templates/servicemonitor.yaml)
and in deploy/test/loadtest/ + .github/workflows/loadtest.yml
respectively; this bundle doesn't touch them — it just records the
closure in the audit HTML.
Verified:
bash scripts/ci-guards/G-3-env-docs-drift.sh # PASS
bash scripts/ci-guards/doc-rot-detector.sh # PASS
All 35 scripts/ci-guards/*.sh green.

docs(b6): secret-custody reference + config-encryption upgrade runbook + private-key CI guard
Closes acquisition-diligence Bundle 6 findings on secret custody, config
encryption, and local artifact hygiene. Source IDs: S6, R4, SEC-M2,
RT-M1, RT-M2, RT-L1.
Surgical closures (artifact-only audit-framed memos stay out of the
public repo per the Bundle 5 lesson):
R4 / RT-L1 — local EC private key artifact
rm cmd/agent/mc-001.key (gitignored, never in git history, leftover
from a 2025-era agent dev run on the operator's workstation).
Added scripts/ci-guards/B6-no-private-keys-in-tree.sh that fails the
build if any TRACKED non-test file contains a PEM private-key block,
so the next attempt to commit similar material gets caught at CI.
Allowlist: *_test.go (hermetic-test PEMs), examples/*.md (sample
walkthroughs), internal/scep/intune/testdata/ (certificates, not
keys).
RT-M1 — landing-page HSM implication
certctl.io/index.html: 'their hardware' / 'your hardware' colloquial
comparisons rephrased to 'their custody' / 'your servers'. The phrase
'Your keys. Your hardware. Your data. Your terms.' becomes 'Your
keys. Your servers. Your data. Your terms.' to remove any inferred
HSM-backed key-storage claim. The technical disclosure now lives in
docs/operator/secret-custody.md (linked below); the landing page no
longer makes a claim it cannot back.
S6 + SEC-M2 + RT-M2 (composite documentation closure)
Added docs/operator/secret-custody.md — public operator reference
enumerating every secret material on the control plane and on
agents:
- Local CA private key (FileDriver, file-on-disk, heap-resident
with the L-014 carve-out documented in
internal/connector/issuer/local/local.go).
- Agent ECDSA P-256 keys (file on agent host, never transmitted).
- OIDC client secret (AES-256-GCM v3, PBKDF2 600k).
- Session signing key (same encryption regime).
- Break-glass credential (Argon2id, never encrypted).
- API-key bearer tokens (SHA-256 hash only; plaintext shown once).
- CSR private keys mid-issuance (agent memory only).
- Issuer-connector backend secrets (encrypted_config column,
fail-closed for source='database', plaintext-by-design for
source='env' with rationale).
The Env-seeded-vs-DB-seeded plaintext policy is explained in plain
text so a buyer review can independently verify the startup guard at
cmd/server/main.go:222-262 makes sense.
Added docs/operator/runbooks/config-encryption-upgrade.md — the
procedural arm: how to force v1/v2 -> v3 re-seal across the
database, plus the passphrase-rotation order. Documents the
AEAD-driven read fallback (v3 -> v2 -> v1) and the fact that
re-sealing happens passively on UPDATE. Open roadmap item: a
certctl admin reseal --all command (tracked in
WORKSPACE-ROADMAP.md).
Both docs wired into docs/README.md Operator + Runbooks tables.
Verification:
rg -n 'CONFIG_ENCRYPTION|encrypt|v1|private key|HSM|PKCS11|mc-001.key|\.key|Local CA' \
internal cmd docs .gitignore README.md # ambient (no NEW leaks)
find . -name '*.key' \

bash scripts/ci-guards/B6-no-private-keys-in-tree.sh # PASS
bash scripts/ci-guards/G-3-env-docs-drift.sh # PASS
bash scripts/ci-guards/doc-rot-detector.sh # PASS
Residual roadmap (deliberately deferred):
- signer.PKCS11Driver (HSM-token-backed CA-key custody).
- signer.CloudKMSDriver (AWS/GCP/Azure KMS-backed CA-key custody).
- FIPS 140-3 mode for the whole control plane.
- HSM-backed session signing key.
- Built-in 'certctl admin reseal --all' command.
All five tracked in WORKSPACE-ROADMAP.md, not retracted.

ci(guards): fix G-3 (CERTCTL_MCP_READ_ONLY phantom) + S-1 (hardcoded 45)
Two CI guards tripped on the B4 + B5 closure commits: 1. G-3 env-docs-drift caught `CERTCTL_MCP_READ_ONLY` mentioned in docs/operator/security-bundle-5-audit-closure.md (Bundle 5 S8 row) without a corresponding entry in internal/config/config.go. The env var is a v3 idea, not a shipped feature — the doc now describes the future gate without naming the literal env var, matching the G-3 phantom-env-var contract. 2. S-1 hardcoded-source-counts caught "all 45 migrations" in docs/operator/scheduler-ha.md (Bundle 4 D8 closure prose). Per the CLAUDE.md operating rule "Numeric claims about current state rot", swapped the literal count for the rebuild command `ls migrations/*.up.sql | wc -l`. Both fixes are doc-only — no code change, no test change. The underlying Bundle 4 + Bundle 5 closures stand.

fix(security): close BUNDLE 5 — auth, OIDC, MCP, API + browser security edges
Bundle 5 closure (2026-05-13 acquisition diligence audit). 13-finding
security audit pass across the auth / OIDC / MCP / API / browser-
security surface. Five real closures shipped in code, two false-as-
stated findings annotated with the existing implementation, three
operator-decision items documented for v3 follow-up, three doc-only
fixes (auth architecture narrative aligned with shipped OIDC).
Source findings closed (code):
S1 break-glass /auth/breakglass/login lacked the documented
5/min per-source-IP rate limit; handler now owns its own
SlidingWindowLimiter wired at startup. Doc claim turns true.
R6 OIDC test_discovery JWKS probe ran on http.DefaultClient;
now uses an http.Client whose transport wraps
validation.SafeHTTPDialContext. JWKS URI can no longer
pivot into reserved-address ranges via DNS rebinding.
R7 Slack + Teams notifiers built http.Client without the SSRF
dial-time guard. Both New() constructors now install
validation.SafeHTTPDialContext; webhook URLs (operator-
configured via dynamic-config GUI) cannot dial 169.254.x or
in-cluster reserved ranges. Test seam: newForTest bypasses
the guard for httptest's 127.0.0.1 binds, mirroring the
existing internal/connector/notifier/webhook pattern.
RT-L2 CERTCTL_ACME_INSECURE=true now emits a prominent
logger.Warn at server boot. Pre-Bundle-5 the knob silently
disabled ACME directory TLS verification.
Source findings closed (doc):
finding 1 + HIGH-5 Architecture doc claimed no in-process JWT/
OIDC/mTLS/SAML and pointed everyone at the
authenticating-gateway pattern. Auth Bundle 2
(commit dea5053) shipped native OIDC + sessions +
break-glass. New §"In-process authentication surface"
table (api-key / oidc / none) supersedes the old framing;
"Authenticating-gateway pattern (SAML, mTLS-as-auth,
LDAP)" section retained for protocols certctl still
doesn't ship natively.
Source findings verified false (existing implementation):

fix(scale): close BUNDLE 4 — migrations, scheduler HA, rate-limits, scale receipts
Bundle 4 closure (2026-05-13 acquisition diligence audit). Closes the
"what happens under multi-replica" question cluster: migration runner
had no concurrency control + no applied-version ledger, 15 scheduler
loops had per-process idempotency but no cross-replica documentation,
rate limits were process-local without an operator-facing scope
statement, load-test scope explicitly omitted four hot paths without
linking them to a roadmap.
Source findings closed:
HIGH-1 + D4 + finding 4 (migration tracking)
D8 (scheduler loop ownership)
MED-1 + MED-2 (rate-limit scope)
T9 + LOW-7 + finding 7 (load-test receipt scope)
Closures by source ID:
HIGH-1 + D4 + finding 4 — Migration tracking + advisory lock.
internal/repository/postgres/db.go::RunMigrations now wraps every
migration execution in:
1. A dedicated *sql.Conn pinned to one connection for the entire
scan + apply lifecycle (pg_advisory_lock is connection-scoped).
2. pg_advisory_lock(migrationAdvisoryLockID) — fixed int64 key
derived from "certctl-migrations" so the same constant resolves
across deployments without colliding with operator advisory
locks. Blocks the second replica until the first finishes.
3. CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS schema_migrations(version TEXT PK,
applied_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW()) — audit ledger.
4. Skip-applied loop: SELECT version FROM schema_migrations →
map[string]struct{} → skip every .up.sql whose filename is in
the map. INSERT after successful execute, ON CONFLICT
(version) DO NOTHING for defense in depth.
Pre-Bundle-4 every server boot re-ran all 45 .up.sql files. The
"idempotency via IF NOT EXISTS / ON CONFLICT" contract in CLAUDE.md
held per-migration but offered no protection when two Helm replicas
raced on schema DDL. Post-Bundle-4 single-replica deploys see zero
behavior change beyond the audit-table population; multi-replica
deploys get HA-safe schema bootstrap.
D8 — Scheduler HA semantics documented.
New docs/operator/scheduler-ha.md with per-loop inventory of all 15
loops in internal/scheduler/scheduler.go. Classification:

fix(helm): close BUNDLE 3 — Helm chart hardening + enterprise deploy
Bundle 3 closure (2026-05-12 acquisition diligence audit). Closes the
"chart claims production-ready but lying-fields silently break it"
hazard cluster: README install command had wrong key, required secrets
weren't fail-fast, external Postgres rendered the bundled StatefulSet
hostname, container-only security hardening fields landed at pod scope
(silently dropped by K8s API), and three advertised template surfaces
(ServiceMonitor, PodDisruptionBudget, NetworkPolicy) didn't render at
all even when their values.yaml toggles were on.
Source findings closed:
C2 C3 D1 D2 D3 D5 D7 D11 D12 (repo audit)
OPS-L1 OPS-L2 (cowork audit)
Source findings explicitly deferred (tracked in WORKSPACE-ROADMAP.md):
D6 OPS-H1 (backup automation — operator must choose target storage)
D10 (digest pinning of latest `:latest` tags)
OPS-M1 (prometheus/client_golang migration)
OPS-M2 (distributed tracing instrumentation)
Chart truth table (rendered with helm 3.16.3):
-f values.yaml + tls.existingSecret + auth.apiKey + pg.auth.password
→ 12 resources (default mode, no monitoring/PDB/networkpolicy)
+ postgresql.enabled=false + externalDatabase.url=…
→ NO StatefulSet, NO postgres-secret, NO postgres-service (D2)
+ server.tls.certManager.enabled=true
→ +1 Certificate (cert-manager mode)
+ replicas=3 + monitoring.enabled=true + serviceMonitor.enabled=true
+ podDisruptionBudget.enabled=true + networkPolicy.enabled=true
→ +1 ServiceMonitor + 1 PodDisruptionBudget + 1 NetworkPolicy (D5+D11)
tls.existingSecret AND tls.certManager.enabled both set
→ REFUSED with "EXACTLY ONE TLS ownership path" error (D7)
Missing required secrets (apiKey / pg password / external URL)
→ REFUSED at template time with operator-actionable guidance (D1)
Closures by source ID:
C2 — README Helm install example fixed. Was `--set postgresql.password=…`
(does not exist); now `--set postgresql.auth.password=…` matching
the chart key. README install block also wires TLS, mentions
fail-fast at template time, and links the external-Postgres example.
C3 — Kubernetes Secrets connector annotated PREVIEW in values.yaml.
The chart still exposes `kubernetesSecrets.enabled` for the RBAC
preview wiring, but the values block now states clearly that the
production K8s client at internal/connector/target/k8ssecret/
k8ssecret.go::realK8sClient is a stub (verified — go.mod imports
zero k8s.io/client-go packages). Production landing tracked in
WORKSPACE-ROADMAP.md.
D1 — `certctl.requiredSecrets` template helper. Fail-fasts at render
time when (a) server.auth.type=api-key + apiKey empty, (b)
postgresql.enabled=true + pg.auth.password empty, (c)
postgresql.enabled=false + externalDatabase.url + legacy env
CERTCTL_DATABASE_URL all empty. Each branch emits an
operator-actionable diagnostic with the openssl rand command or
values override needed. postgres-secret template additionally
uses Helm's `required` builtin so it can't render with the empty
fallback that pre-Bundle-3 produced ("changeme" literal).
D2 — externalDatabase.url first-class. New top-level values block.
certctl.databaseURL helper now branches on postgresql.enabled:
bundled path uses the helper-emitted in-cluster URL; external
path uses externalDatabase.url verbatim. postgres-secret,
postgres-statefulset, and postgres-service ALL gate on
postgresql.enabled — external mode renders ZERO postgres-*
resources. POSTGRES_PASSWORD env in server-deployment also gates.
D3 — Container-vs-pod security context split. K8s API silently drops
readOnlyRootFilesystem / allowPrivilegeEscalation / capabilities /
privileged when they land at pod scope (`spec.securityContext`);
they only work at container scope (`spec.containers[].securityContext`).
Pre-Bundle-3 all fields sat at pod scope so the chart's documented
"read-only rootfs + drop-all caps" hardening was effectively
unenforced. New certctl.podSecurityContext + containerSecurityContext
helpers split the operator-facing securityContext map by field-name
whitelist so existing values keep working byte-for-byte while
fields render at the K8s-valid scope. Applied to both
server-deployment.yaml and agent-daemonset.yaml (DaemonSet + Deployment
branches).
D5 — Prometheus ServiceMonitor template. New
templates/servicemonitor.yaml. Renders when monitoring.enabled AND
monitoring.serviceMonitor.enabled. Scrapes /api/v1/metrics/prometheus
(rbac-gated on metrics.read — needs bearerTokenSecret with an API
key holding that perm). values.yaml block extended with bearerTokenSecret,
tlsConfig, and relabelings knobs and the operator-facing comment
documenting the auth requirement.
D7 — TLS both-set rejection. certctl.tls.required helper extended.
Pre-Bundle-3 only the NEITHER-set case was caught; setting BOTH
rendered a dangling cert-manager Certificate alongside an
existing-Secret mount, two conflicting TLS sources of truth.
Now refuses with "EXACTLY ONE TLS ownership path" + remediation
steps for both possible operator intents.
D11 — PodDisruptionBudget + NetworkPolicy templates. New
templates/pdb.yaml (renders when podDisruptionBudget.enabled +
server.replicas > 1) + templates/networkpolicy.yaml (renders when
networkPolicy.enabled). PDB uses minAvailable / maxUnavailable
exclusivity per K8s spec. NetworkPolicy default-allows in-namespace
agent → server traffic, kube-DNS egress, and bundled-postgres
egress (when postgresql.enabled), with operator-extensible
extraIngress / extraEgress for CA / OIDC / SMTP egress. Both
default off so existing deploys don't lose network reach
unannounced.
D12 — Database max-conn config wired. Pre-Bundle-3
internal/repository/postgres/db.go::NewDB hard-coded
SetMaxOpenConns(25). config.go loaded CERTCTL_DATABASE_MAX_CONNS,
Validate() enforced the >= 1 floor, values.yaml documented it,
and docs/reference/configuration.md surfaced it — but the pool
ignored every operator setting. New NewDBWithMaxConns threads
the operator value into the pool with maxIdle = maxOpen / 5
(≥ 1) so the historical ratio carries forward. cmd/server/main.go
calls the new constructor; NewDB stays for compat at the default 25.
OPS-L1 — Chart version 0.1.0 → 1.0.0. Chart has shipped through 8 audit
closures since 2026-02 (M-018, U-1, U-2, U-3, H-1, G-1, B1, B2);
pre-1.0 version was implying instability the chart no longer has.
OPS-L2 — External-Postgres path is now properly documented in values.yaml
(externalDatabase block with mode-2 example), README install command
links the existing examples/values-external-db.yaml, and the chart
truth table above proves the external mode renders cleanly.

Remaining operator warnings (deferred, tracked in WORKSPACE-ROADMAP.md):
- Backup CronJob + restore script (D6 + OPS-H1): operator chooses
target (S3, GCS, Azure Blob, NFS). Sample CronJob yaml may ship
in deploy/helm/examples/ once an operator workstation has run
one full backup-restore cycle.
- Distributed tracing (OPS-M2): otel/* are go.mod indirect deps,
not actively instrumented. Adding spans is a v3 work item.
- Prometheus client_golang migration (OPS-M1): the hand-rolled
/metrics/prometheus exposition format works today; client_golang
migration unlocks histograms + exemplars + native label sets.

fix(security): close BUNDLE 2 — safe first run, demo mode, agent bootstrap
Bundle 2 closure (2026-05-12 acquisition diligence audit). Closes the
"docker compose up == accidental production" hazard: pre-Bundle-2 the
base deploy/docker-compose.yml WAS the demo path (AUTH_TYPE=none +
DEMO_MODE_ACK=true + KEYGEN_MODE=server + DEMO_SEED=true + literal
change-me-... placeholder creds), the README claimed "drop the demo
overlay for a clean install", and ENVIRONMENTS.md table documented
auth-type default as api-key — three contradictory stories layered on
the same compose file.
Source findings closed:
R2 R3 C1 D9 finding-2 S9 (repo audit)
SEC-H2 SEC-M1 SEC-M3 OPS-M3 LOW-5 HIGH-6 (cowork audit)
Compose split (deploy/docker-compose.yml + deploy/docker-compose.demo.yml):
The base now ships production-shaped — no AUTH_TYPE override, no
KEYGEN_MODE override, no DEMO_MODE_ACK, no DEMO_SEED, no literal
placeholder fallbacks. POSTGRES_PASSWORD / CERTCTL_AUTH_SECRET /
CERTCTL_CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY / CERTCTL_API_KEY / CERTCTL_AGENT_ID
must come from deploy/.env (sample template in deploy/.env.example +
root .env.example). The demo overlay carries the full demo posture
(every env var + every placeholder credential) so the
`-f docker-compose.demo.yml` one-flag flip remains a zero-config
populated-dashboard path.
Fail-closed startup guards (internal/config/config.go::Validate):
Three new gates layered on the existing HIGH-12 demo-mode listen-bind
guard. All three exempt CERTCTL_DEMO_MODE_ACK=true so the demo overlay
keeps working:
• HIGH-6: AUTH_SECRET = "change-me-in-production" → refuse
• HIGH-6: CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY = "change-me-32-char..." → refuse
• LOW-5: CORS_ORIGINS contains "*" (CWE-942 + CWE-352) → refuse
Visible DEMO MODE banner (cmd/server/main.go): every boot under
DEMO_MODE_ACK=true now emits a prominent WARN line with a 6-step
production-promotion checklist. The 2026-04-19 incident (a screenshot
run that kept running for three days) drove this; the per-startup
banner makes the posture unmissable in any log scraper.
Agent enrollment doc alignment:
• docs/reference/configuration.md L83: corrected the non-existent
URL `POST /api/v1/agents/register` to the real route
`POST /api/v1/agents`; added the bootstrap-token note and the
install-agent.sh handoff sequence.
• docs/reference/architecture.md L154: replaced "agents register
themselves at first heartbeat" (false — cmd/agent/main.go fail-
fasts when CERTCTL_AGENT_ID is unset) with the actual two-step
operator-driven flow (REST or GUI registration first, returned ID
fed to install-agent.sh second).
Tests + CI guard:
• 9 new TestValidate_Bundle2_* cases in internal/config/config_test.go
covering: placeholder-secret refused + demo-ack exempt; placeholder
encryption-key refused + demo-ack exempt; real key not mistaken for
placeholder; wildcard CORS refused + demo-ack exempt; wildcard mixed
into a concrete allowlist still refused; concrete allowlist accepted.
• scripts/ci-guards/B2-compose-base-no-demo-env.sh: greps the base
compose for any of the demo-mode env vars + placeholder credentials.
Comments stripped before checking so the narrative header in the
base file can still reference the overlay's posture in prose.
Cold-DB CI smoke (.github/workflows/ci.yml::cold-db-compose-smoke):
Switched to layering -f docker-compose.demo.yml on top of the base —
the new production base requires real env vars the smoke doesn't have,
and the smoke's purpose (catch migration-on-cold-DB regressions + the
bootstrap-token mint path) is orthogonal to which auth posture the
boot lands in.

"Open decisions"):
• The first `docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d` against a
pre-Bundle-2 .env (placeholder values still in place) will now
fail-fast. This is the intended posture but operators upgrading
from v2.0.x via .env-from-old-master need to rotate before
upgrading. The CHANGELOG note for the v2.1.0 release should
call this out alongside Auth Bundle 2's other breaking changes.

fix(security): close BUNDLE 1 — server+agent connector config validation chain
Bundle 1 closure (2026-05-12 acquisition diligence audit). Closes the
acquisition-blocker chain: target.edit (default r-operator grant per
migrations/000029_rbac.up.sql:196) → arbitrary reload_command stored
without validation → agent createTargetConnector json.Unmarshal-only
→ sh -c on agent host. README's 'shell injection prevention on all
connector scripts' claim is now true at the chain level.
Server-side: new internal/connector/target/configcheck package + a
configcheck.Validate call in target.go::Create + ::Update +
::CreateTarget + ::UpdateTarget (all 4 entry points). Rejects shell
metacharacters in reload_command / validate_command / restart_command
for nginx, apache, haproxy, postfix/dovecot, javakeystore, ssh. Sentinel
errors.Is(err, service.ErrInvalidConnectorConfig) available for handler
400 mapping. Non-shell connector types (F5, IIS, Caddy, Traefik, Envoy,
cloud targets, K8s) are no-ops by design.
Agent-side: defense-in-depth connector.ValidateConfig(ctx, configJSON)
call in cmd/agent/main.go inserted between createTargetConnector and
DeployCertificate. This catches (a) configs pre-dating the server gate,
(b) encrypted-blob tampering, (c) per-connector filesystem invariants
that the server can't check.
F5 (S2 finding): proven docs-vs-code drift, not a security bug. The
applyDefaults function never set Insecure=true; runtime default has
always been Go zero-value (false → TLS verified). Three lying 'default
true' comments in f5/f5.go (lines 30, 45-47, 126) rewritten to match
actual code behavior.
Docs (C4 + C9): README L12 + L68 narrowed — 'any CA / any server' →
'Twelve native CA connectors plus an OpenSSL adapter; fifteen native
deployment-target connectors plus a proxy-agent pattern.' 'Every deploy
goes through atomic-write + ...' narrowed to file-based connectors with
inline link to per-target guarantee matrix. New deployment-model.md §1.6
ships a 15-target × 8-property guarantee table covering atomic write /
owner-perms / SHA-256 idempotency / pre-deploy snapshot / on-failure
rollback / post-deploy TLS verify / Prometheus counters / shell-injection
validation — including the K8s preview honesty marker (CLAIM-H4).
Tests: internal/connector/target/configcheck/configcheck_test.go covers
14 shell-injection payloads (semicolon, pipe, backtick, dollar-paren,
redirect, and-chain, newline, double-quote, escape, dollar-var) × 7
shell-using connectors + benign-command acceptance + non-shell no-op
behavior + empty config + malformed JSON. All pass.

ci(cold-db-smoke): shrink to cold-boot + admin bootstrap only
Drop steps 5-7 (issue/renew/revoke + audit row assertion). They covered functional API behavior (cert lifecycle) which the warm-DB integration test suite under 'Go Test with Coverage' already covers thoroughly. The cold-DB smoke's unique value is catching the bug class only a true cold boot can surface — config validation gaps, non-idempotent migrations, env-var-wiring gaps in the demo compose.

fix(migrations): 000043 idempotency — wrap CHECK + UNIQUE adds in DO blocks
Cold-DB compose smoke ran the migration ladder twice (first cold-boot,
then smoke step 4 force-recreate certctl-server with the bootstrap
token env var). On the second run, 000043 fails with:
pq: constraint "actor_roles_scope_type_enum" for relation
"actor_roles" already exists
Server then crashloops trying the same migration every ~10s until the
healthcheck times out and the smoke gives up (5 min wall clock).
Root cause: internal/repository/postgres/db.go::RunMigrations has
no schema_migrations tracker — every *.up.sql runs on every boot.
That makes idempotency mandatory; the CLAUDE.md architecture
decision 'Idempotent migrations. IF NOT EXISTS + ON CONFLICT for
safe repeated execution' is the contract every migration must
honor. Most do; 000043 didn't.
PostgreSQL CHECK constraints don't support IF NOT EXISTS directly,
so each non-idempotent statement gets wrapped in a DO block that
guards against duplication via pg_constraint lookup. The canonical
pattern lives in migrations/000033_approval_kinds.up.sql — mirrored
here exactly. ADD COLUMN already used IF NOT EXISTS; DROP
CONSTRAINT already used IF EXISTS; CREATE INDEX already used IF
NOT EXISTS. Only the two ADD CONSTRAINT CHECK and one ADD
CONSTRAINT UNIQUE needed the DO-block wrap.
Wrapped in BEGIN/COMMIT to match 000033 — keeps all schema
changes inside a single transaction.
Behavior:
- Fresh DB: every DO block runs the ADD CONSTRAINT (no row in
pg_constraint yet). Schema lands identically to the
non-idempotent original.
- Warm DB (constraints already present): every DO block
short-circuits via the NOT EXISTS guard. Migration is a no-op.

fix(compose): set CERTCTL_DEMO_MODE_ACK=true in demo compose (cold-DB smoke fix)
The cold-db-compose-smoke job (Auditable Codebase Bundle item 6) fired
on first run and surfaced a real bug: certctl-server fail-fasts at
startup with:
Failed to load configuration: CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=none with non-loopback
CERTCTL_SERVER_HOST="0.0.0.0" requires CERTCTL_DEMO_MODE_ACK=true to
acknowledge that every request will be served as the synthetic admin
actor `actor-demo-anon`.
Root cause: the 2026-05-10 HIGH-12 closure (Fix 11) added the
fail-fast guard in internal/config/config.go::Validate() but did NOT
update deploy/docker-compose.yml to provide the explicit ACK. The
clean default compose IS the bundled demo path
(CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=none + KEYGEN_MODE=server + DEMO_SEED=true per the
inline comments on lines 137-143), so the ACK is correct here by
design.
Latent in master since the HIGH-12 fix landed. Nobody hit it because
warm containers + warm DBs masked the boot-time validation. The
cold-DB compose smoke caught it on the first true cold-boot run —
exactly the bug class it was built for.
Fix:
- Add CERTCTL_DEMO_MODE_ACK: "true" to the certctl-server env block
in deploy/docker-compose.yml.
- Add a head-comment explaining why the ACK is correct in this
compose (it IS the demo path) and that production deploys override
AUTH_TYPE + KEYGEN_MODE + DEMO_SEED + DEMO_MODE_ACK via their own
compose.
Verified:
- YAML parse clean.
- scripts/ci-guards/complete-path-config-coverage.sh green (194
env vars; new CERTCTL_DEMO_MODE_ACK reference in deploy/ counts
as a consumer).

fix(ciparity): drop unused methodPathRe regex (golangci-lint cleanup)
golangci-lint v2.11.4 surfaced one finding against the bundle's new code: 'var methodPathRe is unused' in internal/ciparity/surface_parity_test.go:46. The regex was leftover scaffolding from when I drafted the file as a package-router test before moving it into the stdlib-only ciparity package. The router-route scanner in this package uses its own inline regex (registerRe + muxHandleRe via scanRouterRoutes) and never reads methodPathRe.

ci(cold-db-smoke): inline into workflow; remove the script (operator: not a per-commit gate)
Operator pushback: 'I don't want a smoke test I have to manually run every time I commit.' Correct read — the script existed for local debugging but its presence in scripts/ci-guards/ implied 'operator runs this regularly,' which is the opposite of the design intent. Changes: - Removed scripts/ci-guards/cold-db-compose-smoke.sh. - Inlined the smoke logic directly into the cold-db-compose-smoke job in .github/workflows/ci.yml. Same semantics: docker compose down -v -> up -d -> wait-healthy -> bootstrap admin -> issue/renew/revoke -> assert audit rows -> teardown. 15-min wall-clock cap. Logs dump on failure. - Removed the cold-db-compose-smoke.sh skip case from the generic regression-guards loop (no longer needed). - Updated scripts/ci-guards/README.md and docs/contributor/ci-guards.md to reflect the new shape: 'lives in the workflow, not as a script.' Workspace docs updated (cowork/WORKSPACE-CHANGELOG.md, cowork/CLAUDE.md, cowork/auditable-codebase-bundle/RESULTS.md). The gate is unchanged: CI runs the smoke on every push, master branch-protection enforces it as a required check. Operator's manual action is once — adding the check to branch-protection.

docs(contributor): document the Auditable Codebase Bundle guards
Three doc changes for the bundle's discoverability: 1. New docs/contributor/ci-guards.md (185 lines) Entry-point doc for new contributors. Explains the four categories of guards (code-shape, contract-parity, build/dep, operational), the discipline that keeps them honest (allowlist + expiration), and how to add a new one. Cross-references scripts/ci-guards/README.md for the exhaustive list. 2. scripts/ci-guards/README.md — added a 'Forward-looking guards' subsection naming complete-path-config-coverage, doc-rot-detector, and cold-db-compose-smoke with their item references + a one-sentence description of what each catches. Replaced the stale '22 guards' header with 'Count: re-derive via ls' per the no-version-stamped-numbers convention from CLAUDE.md. 3. docs/README.md — wired ci-guards.md into the Contributor section navigation table. Bumped 'Last reviewed:' to 2026-05-12 on the two docs touched (docs/README.md, docs/contributor/ci-pipeline.md). Verified: doc-rot-detector.sh green at 91 docs scanned, 89 dated, 0 warns, 0 fails.

ci(workflows): wire Auditable Codebase Bundle guards into ci.yml
Three changes to .github/workflows/ci.yml:
1. Add internal/ciparity/... to the Go Test with Coverage package
list. The four surface-parity tests run alongside everything else
and contribute to the coverage report.
2. Skip cold-db-compose-smoke.sh in the existing generic
regression-guards loop (under go-build-and-test). The script needs
Docker + a fresh postgres volume; including it here would always
fail because that job doesn't bring up compose.
The other two new Bundle guards
(complete-path-config-coverage.sh, doc-rot-detector.sh) are
plain-shell + Python and need no Docker — the existing
'for g in scripts/ci-guards/*.sh' loop auto-picks them up.
3. New top-level job: 'cold-db-compose-smoke'
- needs: go-build-and-test (don't waste compute if the basics are red)
- 15-min wall-clock cap (image pull + compose-up + probe + teardown)
- Dumps compose logs on failure for postgres + certctl-server +
certctl-agent + certctl-tls-init so the failure is actionable
without a re-run.
Validated:
- python3 -c 'import yaml; yaml.safe_load(...)' → yaml ok
Operator follow-up:
- Add 'cold-db-compose-smoke' to the master branch-protection
required-checks list once the first successful run lands.

feat(ci): item-6 cold-DB compose smoke script (CI wiring in Phase 5)
scripts/ci-guards/cold-db-compose-smoke.sh — wipes the postgres
volume (docker compose down -v), brings the stack up cold, mints a
day-0 admin via /api/v1/auth/bootstrap, issues + renews + revokes a
test certificate, asserts the three audit rows exist, tears down.

feat(ci): item-5 doc rot detector (90d warn / 120d fail)
scripts/ci-guards/doc-rot-detector.sh — walks every *.md under docs/,
parses the '> Last reviewed: YYYY-MM-DD' blockquote convention
established by the 2026-05-04 docs overhaul, emits:
- ::warning:: GitHub annotation when a doc is >= 90 days old
(heads-up; non-blocking).
- ::error:: + exit 1 when >= 120 days (build-blocking).
Uses HEAD commit timestamp (git log -1 --format=%cs) as 'now' rather
than wall clock — keeps the guard reproducible on a release that's
been on a shelf.
Verified in sandbox:
- Clean run: 90 docs scanned, 88 dated (2 in docs/archive/
allowlisted in bulk), 0 missing field, 0 warns, 0 fails.
- Negative test (backdated docs/README.md to 2025-12-01, 162d):
fires with '::error::Docs older than 120 days (build-blocking)'
+ three remediation paths listed.
Allowlist at scripts/ci-guards/doc-rot-detector-exceptions.yaml:
- 'docs/archive/' bulk-allowlisted (intentionally frozen content)
- Per-doc entries require name + justification + expiration date;
expired entries fail the guard.
Bootstrap sweep NOT required — baseline survey at branch creation
shows oldest doc is 7 days old (2026-05-05); zero docs over either
threshold today. Forward-looking insurance only.

feat(ci): item-2 cross-surface contract parity (stdlib-only package)
internal/ciparity/ — new stdlib-only package with four tests: 1. TestSurfaceParity_MCPToolCatalogue (HARD GATE): - Every MCP tool name conforms to certctl_<word>(_<word>)* - No duplicate names across the five tools*.go files - Total tools ≥ mcpBaselineFloor (150; current count 155) Catches accidental tool deletions + naming-convention drift. 2. TestSurfaceParity_CLICommandCatalogue (INFORMATIONAL): Walks cmd/cli/main.go's switch-case dispatcher. Logs the 31 distinct verbs. Per frozen decision 0.9, warn-only until the CLI surface stabilizes. 3. TestSurfaceParity_OpenAPI_MCPHeuristicCoverage (INFORMATIONAL): Reports the fraction of OpenAPI ops whose path tokens overlap with MCP tool name tokens. Trend metric; current coverage 92%. 4. TestSurfaceParity_Summary (INFORMATIONAL): One-glance count of router routes / OpenAPI ops / MCP tools / CLI verbs. Easy eyeball for a PR reviewer. Verified in sandbox: - gofmt clean - go vet clean - go test -short -count=1: all four PASS in 0.017s Stdlib-only by design — the tests read source files with os.ReadFile + regexp + go/ast. Keeps the test runnable without pulling in the rest of the codebase's transitive deps; fast self-contained signal. Router ↔ OpenAPI parity (TestRouter_OpenAPIParity) stays in internal/api/router/openapi_parity_test.go where it already lives. This bundle does not duplicate it. Allowlist scaffold at scripts/ci-guards/surface-parity-mcp-exemptions.yaml for the day TestSurfaceParity_OpenAPI_MCP* is promoted from informational to hard gate.

feat(ci): item-1 complete-path config-coverage guard (PARTIAL — sandbox could not verify Go test)
Shell guard verified working in sandbox:
- Green on clean repo: 'OK — every CERTCTL_* env var (194) has at least
one non-config-package consumer.'
- Red on injected orphan: '::error::Orphan env vars — defined in
config.go but no consumer found outside internal/config/' with three
remediation paths listed.
Go test internal/config/coverage_test.go written but NOT verified —
sandbox Go 1.25.9 < go.mod's 1.25.10 requirement; toolchain
auto-download fails (disk full). Operator must run `make verify` from
workstation before merge.
Allowlist scaffold at scripts/ci-guards/complete-path-config-coverage-exceptions.yaml.
Every entry requires name + justification + expires fields; expired
entries fail the guard.
Catches the lying-field bug class — env var defined in config.go that no
business-logic code reads. The 2026-04-29 SCEP MustStaple Phase 5.6 gap
(domain field shipped, service layer never read profile.MustStaple) is
the canonical case this guard would have caught at commit time.

docs(readme): Status block rewrite — design-partner CTA, paragraph cadence
Earlier versions were either link-soup or so tight they read as
boilerplate. This pass aims for CMO-grade copy:
- Paragraph 1: lede that combines the early-access label with the
design-partner ask — sets the tone in one line.
- Paragraph 2: what's production-quality today, with the RBAC + OIDC
doc links inline (no bold, no link-soup). Names the v2.1.0 layer
on top.
- Paragraph 3: the ask — production deployments wanted, framed
explicitly as 'we can't manufacture this exposure in CI'. Honest
about the federated-identity surface being where the new exposure
lives. Mutual-value framing.
- Paragraph 4: the actionable bit — file issues liberally, with the
why ('how the platform earns the right to drop early-access').
Three inline doc links (RBAC, OIDC runbook index, file-issues).
Same factual content, warmer voice, paragraph cadence with
breathing room between.
