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 4 follow-on batch 2 — 8 remaining issuer per-pages
Extracts the rest of the issuer per-connector deep-dive pages: - local-ca.md (170 lines) — Local CA self-signed / sub-CA / tree mode, CRL+OCSP endpoints, EKU support, MaxTTL enforcement, L-014 file-on- disk threat model carve-out - acme.md (235 lines) — RFC 8555 v2 client (HTTP-01 / DNS-01 / DNS-PERSIST-01), ARI per RFC 9773, EAB + ZeroSSL auto-EAB, Let's Encrypt profile selection, revoke-by-serial Top-10 fix #7 - step-ca.md (99 lines) — Smallstep JWK-provisioner synchronous issuance with MaxTTL enforcement - openssl.md (157 lines) — script-based shell-out with full threat model (what's accepted, what's not, mitigations, V3-Pro forward path) - sectigo.md (98 lines) — Sectigo SCM REST with bounded async polling - google-cas.md (89 lines) — GCP managed private CA with OAuth2 service-account auth + IAM-role guidance - entrust.md (96 lines) — Entrust CA Gateway mTLS-authenticated with approval-pending support and mTLS keypair caching - globalsign.md (122 lines) — Atlas HVCA dual auth (mTLS + API key/secret), region-aware base URLs, mTLS keypair caching Index forward-list expanded to enumerate all 13 issuer connectors (including the 5 pages from batch 1) in alphabetical order. This is part 2 of 4 for the Phase 4 follow-on (per-connector page extraction) tracked in cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-2-restructure-2026-05-04/log.md. Net add: 8 files, 1,066 lines.

docs: Phase 4 follow-on batch 1 — 5 issuer per-pages
Extract the first 5 issuer per-connector deep-dive pages: - vault.md (128 lines) — Vault PKI synchronous issuance, token TTL + auto-renewal loop, MaxTTL enforcement, rotation playbook - digicert.md (106 lines) — CertCentral DV/OV/EV with bounded async polling for vetting workflows - aws-acm-pca.md (165 lines) — managed private CA on AWS with full IAM policy, IRSA wiring, troubleshooting matrix - ejbca.md (116 lines) — open-source / Keyfactor EJBCA with mTLS or OAuth2 auth, mTLS keypair caching, approval-pending guidance - adcs.md (111 lines) — Active Directory Certificate Services as enterprise root via Local CA sub-CA mode, sub-CA rotation playbook Index updated with forward-list entries and the index-purpose blurb revised so the index now positions itself as 'navigate from here; deeper material lives in siblings' rather than 'docs to be extracted later'. Each per-page follows the WHAT/HOW/WHY pattern: what the connector is, how authentication and issuance work, and when to choose this vs an alternative. Cross-links to the connector index, async-ca-polling primitive, and adjacent operator runbooks. This is part 1 of 4 for the Phase 4 follow-on (per-connector page extraction) tracked in cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-2-restructure-2026-05-04/log.md. Net add: 5 files, 626 lines. No content removed from index.md (the index keeps its inline reference; per-pages add operator depth on top, matching the pattern set by apache/f5/iis/k8s/nginx in Phase 4 structural). |

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
procedure with one expanded "Why this matters" paragraph
explaining the keyless OIDC trust anchor.
Every docs/ link in the new README verified to resolve to an existing
file. Cross-references from other docs / certctl.io to the deleted
sections (if any) need follow-up Phase 11 sweeps.

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.

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

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:

docs(approval-workflow): drop Infisical reference from operator playbook

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).

target(awsacm): SDK-driven AWS Certificate Manager target connector
Closes Rank 5 (AWS half) of the 2026-05-03 Infisical deep-research
deliverable (cowork/infisical-deep-research-results.md Part 5).
Pre-fix, certctl had no path to deploy certs to AWS-managed TLS-
termination endpoints (ALB / CloudFront / API Gateway / App Runner)
— operators terminating TLS at AWS had to use Infisical secret-sync,
manual aws-cli imports, or external automation. This commit lands
the SDK-driven AWS Certificate Manager target connector that closes
the gap end-to-end.
Architecture:
- internal/connector/target/awsacm/awsacm.go — Connector wraps
*acm.Client behind the ACMClient interface seam (mirrors
awsacmpca's ACMPCAClient pattern from the issuer side).
LoadDefaultConfig handles the standard AWS credential chain
(IRSA / EC2 instance profile / SSO / env vars); no embedded
creds in connector Config.
- Pre-deploy snapshot via DescribeCertificate + GetCertificate so
on-import-failure rollback restores the previous cert. Mirrors
the Bundle 5 IIS pattern + the Bundle 7/8 WinCertStore /
JavaKeystore patterns. Surfaces rollback success/failure via
the existing certctl_deploy_rollback_total Prometheus counter
label set.
- Provenance tags: certctl-managed-by=certctl + certctl-
certificate-id=<mc-id> set automatically on every import. ACM
strips tags on re-import, so the connector calls
AddTagsToCertificate post-import to keep the provenance pair
fresh. Operators looking up a cert ARN by managed-cert ID
(Terraform data source, CloudFormation output) match against

notifications: per-policy multi-channel expiry-alert routing
Closes Rank 4 of the 2026-05-03 Infisical deep-research deliverable
(see cowork/infisical-deep-research-results.md Part 5). Pre-fix,
RenewalService.CheckExpiringCertificates already ran daily,
RenewalPolicy.AlertThresholdsDays drove per-cert thresholds, and
NotificationService.SendThresholdAlert deduped per (cert, threshold)
— but the channel was hardcoded to Email
(internal/service/notification.go:118 pre-fix). Operators who
configured PagerDuty / Slack / Teams / OpsGenie via
CERTCTL_PAGERDUTY_ROUTING_KEY etc. got nothing at any threshold
unless SMTP was also wired. Their first signal of an expired cert
was a 3 AM outage.
This commit lands the routing matrix on top of the existing
infrastructure:
1. RenewalPolicy gains AlertChannels (per-tier channel list) +
AlertSeverityMap (per-threshold tier assignment) +
EffectiveAlertChannels / EffectiveAlertSeverity accessors.
Default*() helpers preserve the back-compat Email-only
behaviour for operators who haven't touched their policies
post-upgrade. Migration 000026 adds the JSONB columns
idempotently.
2. NotificationService.SendThresholdAlertOnChannel — the new
per-channel dispatch helper. Old SendThresholdAlert stays as
an Email-only alias so non-policy callers (admin "send test
alert" surfaces) keep working byte-for-byte.
3. NotificationService.HasThresholdNotificationOnChannel — per-
(cert, threshold, channel) deduplication so a transient
PagerDuty 5xx today does NOT suppress today's Slack alert and
tomorrow's PagerDuty retry will still fire.
4. RenewalService.sendThresholdAlerts walks the resolved channel
set per threshold tier, fans out to every configured channel,
handles per-channel failures independently, defensively drops
off-enum channels with an audit row trail, and records a per-
channel audit event with metadata.channel + metadata.severity_tier.
5. service.ExpiryAlertMetrics — atomic counter table mirrored on
the VaultRenewalMetrics shape from the 2026-05-03 audit fix #5

docs(openssl): operator playbook for shell-out threat model
Closes Top-10 fix #6 of the 2026-05-03 issuer-coverage audit (see cowork/issuer-coverage-audit-2026-05-03/RESULTS.md). Pre-fix, the OpenSSL adapter's docs in docs/connectors.md explained usage but did NOT enumerate the threat model. The adapter exec's an arbitrary operator-supplied script — env-var inheritance, symlink attacks, sandbox-escape, multi-tenant process-isolation gaps. An acquirer's security reviewer reading this surface cold pattern-matches "highest-risk issuer surface with the lowest documented threat model." This commit lands a doc-side operator playbook in docs/connectors.md OpenSSL section (mirrors Bundle 8's "Operator playbook: keytool argv password exposure" subsection shape and the 2026-05-02 audit Top-10 fix #7 SSH InsecureIgnoreHostKey playbook). Six topics covered: 1. Why the adapter exists despite the risk (CLI-driven CAs without Go SDKs need an integration path). 2. Threat model the adapter accepts (trusted operator + trusted script + appropriate ownership + clear audit trail). 3. Threat model the adapter does NOT accept (operator-writable script paths, untrusted content, multi-tenant hosts). 4. Mitigations operators can layer (dedicated user, root-owned 0755 binary, audit rules, per-call timeout via CERTCTL_OPENSSL_TIMEOUT_SECONDS, env sanitisation, chroot/container, audit wrapper, per-call concurrency bound). 5. When NOT to use the adapter (compliance environments, multi-tenant servers, no-script-review environments). 6. V3-Pro forward path (hardened mode tracked in cowork/WORKSPACE-ROADMAP.md). Inline comment in internal/connector/issuer/openssl/openssl.go near the callSignScript exec call site forward-references the new doc subsection (no logic change). cowork/WORKSPACE-ROADMAP.md gains an "OpenSSL hardened mode" V3- Pro entry under "Adapter hardening" — sibling-folder doc, not in the certctl repo, so not reflected in this commit's diff. Same shape Bundle 8 used for the JavaKeystore playbook and the 2026-05-02 deployment-target audit Top-10 fix #7 used for the SSH InsecureIgnoreHostKey playbook. No code logic changes (only the explanatory comment near the exec call site). No test changes. Doc-only commit. Verified locally: - gofmt / go vet clean. - go test -short -count=1 ./internal/connector/issuer/openssl/... green. Audit reference: cowork/issuer-coverage-audit-2026-05-03/RESULTS.md Top-10 fix #6. |

vault: add automatic token renewal at TTL/2 + Prometheus metric
Closes Top-10 fix #5 of the 2026-05-03 issuer-coverage audit (see cowork/issuer-coverage-audit-2026-05-03/RESULTS.md). Pre-fix, the VaultPKI adapter authenticated with a static token and never called renew-self. Long-lived deploys hit token expiry; the first operator-visible signal was failed cert renewals on production targets. This commit: 1. Connector.Start(ctx) spawns a goroutine that calls POST /v1/auth/token/renew-self at TTL/2 cadence (computed from a one-shot lookup-self at startup). Honours ctx.Done() for graceful shutdown via a per-loop done channel + Stop(). 2. On `renewable: false` response (initial lookup OR any subsequent renewal), the loop emits a WARN, increments the not_renewable counter, and exits. The operator must rotate the token before Vault's Max TTL elapses. 3. New Prometheus counter certctl_vault_token_renewals_total with labels result={success,failure,not_renewable}. Registered alongside existing certctl_issuance_* counters in internal/api/handler/metrics.go. 4. ERROR-level logging on renewal failure with operator-actionable substring ("vault token renewal failed; rotate the token before TTL expires") so journalctl + grep find it. Loop keeps ticking after a failure — transient blips don't kill it. New optional issuer.Lifecycle interface: type Lifecycle interface { Start(ctx context.Context) error Stop() } Connectors that hold no background goroutines (almost all of them) do not implement this — IssuerRegistry.StartLifecycles / StopLifecycles feature-detect via type assertion. New lifecycle-bearing connectors plug in by implementing the interface; no further registry plumbing required. Wiring (cmd/server/main.go): - service.NewVaultRenewalMetrics() instance is shared between issuerRegistry.SetVaultRenewalMetrics (so Vault connectors built by Rebuild get a recorder) and metricsHandler.SetVaultRenewals (so the Prometheus exposer emits the new series). - issuerRegistry.StartLifecycles(ctx) is called after issuerService.BuildRegistry; defer issuerRegistry.StopLifecycles is paired so goroutines exit cleanly on signal. - IssuerConnectorAdapter.Underlying() exposes the wrapped issuer.Connector so registry-level machinery can reach the concrete connector behind the adapter without duplicating the wiring at every call site. Tests (internal/connector/issuer/vault/vault_renew_test.go): - TestVault_RenewLoop_TickAtHalfTTL — three ticks → three renewals, all "success". - TestVault_RenewLoop_StopsOnNotRenewable — second renewal returns renewable=false, loop exits, third tick fires no HTTP call. - TestVault_RenewLoop_FailureSurfacesViaMetric — first renewal 403 bumps "failure", second renewal succeeds → loop kept ticking. - TestVault_RenewLoop_CtxCancellation_StopsCleanly — Stop returns within 200ms after ctx cancel. - TestVault_RenewLoop_StartsNothingWhenNotRenewable — token already non-renewable at boot ⇒ no goroutine, "not_renewable" metric increments at startup so operators see it in Grafana. - TestVault_ComputeInterval — 4 cases pinning TTL/2 + minRenewInterval floor. - TestVault_RenewSelf_ParseFailure_NamesActionableInError — surfaced error contains "vault token renewal failed" + "rotate the token". Cadence is dynamic — every successful renewal re-derives TTL/2 from the renewed lease's lease_duration, so a short bootstrap token that gets renewed up to a longer Max TTL shifts to the longer cadence automatically (defends against degenerate fast ticking on a token whose Max TTL is far longer than its initial TTL). Documentation: - docs/connectors.md Vault PKI section gains "Token TTL + automatic renewal" subsection (operator-facing: cadence, metric, renewable=false rotation playbook). Out of scope (intentional, flagged in the audit follow-up): - AppRole / Kubernetes / AWS IAM auth methods (different renewal semantics). - Hot-reload of rotated token from disk (operator restarts today; future: GUI/MCP issuer-update path triggers Rebuild which Stops the old connector and Starts the new one). - Auto-re-auth after token death (operator playbook owns it). CHANGELOG.md is intentionally not hand-edited (per CHANGELOG.md itself: "no longer maintains a hand-edited per-version changelog; per-release notes are auto-generated from commit messages between consecutive tags"). Verified locally: - gofmt clean. - go vet ./internal/service/... ./internal/api/handler/... ./internal/connector/issuer/vault/... ./cmd/server/... clean. - go test -short -count=1 ./internal/connector/issuer/vault/... ./internal/service/... ./internal/api/handler/... green. - go test -race -count=10 -run 'TestVault_RenewLoop|TestVault_ComputeInterval' ./internal/connector/issuer/vault/... green.

docs(acme-server): operator-facing reference + threat model + cert-manager walkthrough (Phase 6/7)
Doc-only commit closing the ACME-server work series. After this commit,
an outside reviewer (procurement engineer / Venafi diligence engineer /
Infisical-comparison-shopper) can read the docs cold, understand the
ACME server's surface, follow the cert-manager walkthrough, and reach
a deployment decision without escalating to certctl maintainers.
What ships:
- docs/acme-server.md final pass: Auth-mode decision tree (when to
use trust_authenticated vs challenge), RFC 8555 + RFC 9773
conformance statement (section-by-section table of implemented
plus procurement-honest 'not implemented' rows for EAB / multi-
level wildcards / RFC 8738 / cross-CA proxying), Troubleshooting
(5 failure modes — badNonce / unknownAuthority / HTTP-01
connection refused / DNS-01 NXDOMAIN / rejectedIdentifier with
canonical fix for each), Version pinning + tested clients table
(cert-manager 1.15.0, lego v4, kind v0.20+, Caddy 2.7.x, Traefik
3.0+), FAQ (5 entries — why two auth modes, vs cert-manager-
against-LE, can-I-use-from-outside-K8s, migration story, audit-
log catalog), See-also cross-link block.
- docs/acme-cert-manager-walkthrough.md: kind → cert-manager →
certctl → Certificate flow, with YAML blocks byte-equal to
deploy/test/acme-integration/{clusterissuer-trust-authenticated,
certificate-test}.yaml to prevent doc/test drift.
- docs/acme-caddy-walkthrough.md: Caddyfile acme_ca + tls.cas
options (OS trust store + Caddy pki.ca block).
- docs/acme-traefik-walkthrough.md: certificatesResolvers.<name>.acme
.caServer + serversTransport.rootCAs configuration.
- docs/acme-server-threat-model.md: Threat surface map + JWS forgery
resistance (alg-confusion / HS256 substitution / replayed nonce /
URL spoofing / multi-sig / kid-vs-jwk / kid round-trip mismatch),
Nonce store integrity rationale, HTTP-01 SSRF defense-in-depth
(pre-dial check + per-dial check + per-redirect check + body cap +
bounded redirects), DNS-01 cache-poisoning posture (default Google
Public DNS + operator-owns-private-resolver-posture), TLS-ALPN-01
chain-not-validated rationale (RFC 8737 §3 explicit), Rate-limit
tuning, Audit trail catalog, Out-of-scope threats list.
- docs/connectors.md: TOC renumbered 3→4 etc. to make room for new
top-level 'ACME Server (Built-in)' section between Issuer Connector
and Target Connector — distinguishes the consumer-side ACME
(existing) from the new server-side ACME via env-var-prefix
call-out (CERTCTL_ACME_* vs CERTCTL_ACME_SERVER_*).
DoD verification:
- All 5 docs files exist with the structure prescribed by the
Phase 6 prompt.
- Every CERTCTL_ACME_SERVER_* env var in docs/acme-server.md maps
to an actual lookup in internal/config/config.go (verified by
'grep -oE | sort -u | diff' returning empty).
- Every YAML snippet in docs/acme-cert-manager-walkthrough.md is
byte-equal to the corresponding file in deploy/test/acme-integration/
(verified with 'diff' against awk-extracted YAML blocks).
- docs/connectors.md has the cross-link subsection with all 4 new
docs referenced.
- cowork/CLAUDE.md Architecture Decisions has the new ACME-server
bullet documenting per-profile URL family + per-profile
acme_auth_mode + Phase 4-5-6 progression.
- cowork/WORKSPACE-CHANGELOG.md has the ACME-Server-6 entry plus
the ACME-Server rollup spanning Phases 1a-6.
- cowork/infisical-deep-research-results.md Rank 1 marked SHIPPED.
- 'gofmt -l .' clean (no Go changes); 'go vet ./...' clean.
Acquisition-readiness: every one of the 12 acquisition-grade criteria
from cowork/acme-server-endpoint-prompt.md is verified by the test
suite (Phases 1a-5) plus this doc walkthrough (Phase 6). The full
RFC 8555 + RFC 9773 surface is live; the operator can deploy
end-to-end by reading one walkthrough doc and one env-var table.

acme-server: cert-manager integration test + production hardening (Phase 5/7)
Closes the production-readiness loop on the ACME surface. After this
commit, certctl ships per-account rate limits + a GC sweeper for
expired ACME state + a kind-driven cert-manager 1.15 integration test
+ a lego-driven RFC conformance harness + a k6 loadtest scenario for
the unauthenticated ACME path.
Architecture:
- Rate limits live in-memory + per-replica. Restart wipes the
counters; orders/hour caps are eventual-consistency anyway. A
3-replica certctl-server fleet behind an LB effectively has 3x
the configured throughput per account; persistent rate limiting
is a follow-up if production telemetry shows abuse patterns we
can't catch in a single restart cycle. Per-key + per-action
isolation: ActionNewOrder/acc-1, ActionKeyChange/acc-1, and
ActionChallengeRespond/<challenge-id> are independent buckets.
- GC loop follows the existing scheduler-loop pattern (atomic.Bool
+ sync.WaitGroup; see crlGenerationLoop for shape). Three
independent SQL sweeps per tick (DELETE expired nonces; UPDATE
pending authzs whose expires_at < now() to expired; UPDATE
pending/ready/processing orders whose expires_at < now() to
invalid). Each sweep is a single statement; failures are logged-
and-continued so a failing nonces sweep doesn't block authzs.
Per-sweep 1m timeout bounds a stuck Postgres.
- cert-manager integration test is gated on KIND_AVAILABLE so CI
skips it cleanly (kind is too heavy for per-PR). Operators run
locally via 'make acme-cert-manager-test'; the harness brings up
a fresh cluster each run + tears it down on Cleanup.
- lego conformance harness drives a real ACME client through
register → run → cert-PEM-landed against a hermetic certctl
stack. Catches RFC-shape regressions third-party clients would
hit before they ship.
- k6 ACME-flow scenario hammers the unauthenticated surface
(directory + new-nonce + ARI synthetic-id) at 100 VUs × 5m. JWS-
signed flows are out of scope for k6 (no JWS support); they're
covered by the lego harness above.
What ships:
- internal/api/acme/ratelimit.go (+ ratelimit_test.go: 7 cases —
disable-when-perHour-zero, capacity, per-key isolation, per-
action isolation, refill-over-time, RetryAfter, concurrent-access
with -race + 200 goroutines × 200 calls).
- internal/repository/postgres/acme.go: 4 new methods —
CountActiveOrdersByAccount + GCExpiredNonces + GCExpireAuthorizations
+ GCInvalidateExpiredOrders. Each a single SQL statement.
- internal/service/acme.go: SetRateLimiter + GarbageCollect +
rate-limit gates at 3 entry points (CreateOrder + RotateAccountKey
+ RespondToChallenge) + concurrent-orders gate at CreateOrder.
2 new sentinels (ErrACMERateLimited, ErrACMEConcurrentOrdersExceeded);
5 new GC metrics (gc_runs / gc_run_failures / gc_nonces_reaped /
gc_authzs_expired / gc_orders_invalidated).
- internal/scheduler/scheduler.go: ACMEGarbageCollector interface +
acmeGCRunning atomic.Bool + acmeGCInterval + 2 setters (SetACME-
GarbageCollector + SetACMEGCInterval) + acmeGCLoop following the
crlGenerationLoop shape.
- internal/api/handler/acme.go: writeServiceError gains rateLimited
(429 + RFC 8555 §6.7) + concurrent-orders-exceeded mappings.
- internal/config/config.go: 5 new env vars
(CERTCTL_ACME_SERVER_RATE_LIMIT_ORDERS_PER_HOUR=100,
CERTCTL_ACME_SERVER_RATE_LIMIT_CONCURRENT_ORDERS=5,
CERTCTL_ACME_SERVER_RATE_LIMIT_KEY_CHANGE_PER_HOUR=5,
CERTCTL_ACME_SERVER_RATE_LIMIT_CHALLENGE_RESPONDS_PER_HOUR=60,
CERTCTL_ACME_SERVER_GC_INTERVAL=1m).
- cmd/server/main.go: NewRateLimiter() + SetRateLimiter() at
startup; conditional SetACMEGarbageCollector(acmeService) +
SetACMEGCInterval(cfg.ACMEServer.GCInterval) when Enabled+
GCInterval > 0.
- deploy/test/acme-integration/: kind-config.yaml + cert-manager-
install.sh + clusterissuer-trust-authenticated.yaml +
clusterissuer-challenge.yaml + certificate-test.yaml + conformance-
lego.sh + certmanager_test.go (//go:build integration + KIND_AVAILABLE
gate).
- deploy/test/loadtest/k6/acme_flow.js + README ACME-flows section.
- Makefile: 2 new PHONY targets (acme-cert-manager-test +
acme-rfc-conformance-test).
- docs/acme-server.md: status flipped to Phase 5; Configuration
table grows 5 rows; new 'Phase 5 — operational guidance' section
explaining rate-limit math + GC sweeper semantics + cert-manager
integration + lego conformance + k6 baseline.
Tests:
- 'go vet ./...' clean across the repo.
- 'go test -short -count=1 ./internal/...' green across every
affected package (service / acme / handler / scheduler / repo /
config).
- 'go vet -tags=integration ./deploy/test/acme-integration/' clean
(the integration test compiles cleanly with the build tag).
- The kind/cert-manager harness is gated behind KIND_AVAILABLE so
CI skips by default; operators run locally via 'make acme-cert-
manager-test'.

acme-server: key rollover + revocation + ARI (Phase 4/7)
Closes the RFC 8555 + RFC 9773 surface beyond the issuance happy-path:
- POST /acme/profile/<id>/key-change (RFC 8555 §7.3.5)
- POST /acme/profile/<id>/revoke-cert (RFC 8555 §7.6)
- GET /acme/profile/<id>/renewal-info/<cert-id> (RFC 9773 ARI)
After this commit, ACME clients can rotate account keys, revoke certs
through the ACME surface (rather than only via the certctl GUI/API),
and fetch ARI for proactive renewal scheduling.
Architecture:
- Key rollover: outer JWS verified against the registered account key
(existing kid path); the inner JWS — embedded as the outer's payload
— verified against the embedded NEW jwk in a new dedicated routine
(ParseAndVerifyKeyChangeInner) that enforces RFC 8555 §7.3.5
inner-only invariants: MUST use jwk + MUST NOT use kid, payload
.account == outer.kid, payload.oldKey thumbprint-equals registered.
A single WithinTx swaps the stored thumbprint+pem and writes the
audit row. Concurrent-rollover safety via SELECT…FOR UPDATE on the
conflicting account row in UpdateAccountJWKWithTx; the loser
observes the winner's new thumbprint and is told to retry (409).
- Revocation: two auth paths. kid → AccountOwnsCertificate single-
indexed COUNT lookup over acme_orders. jwk → constant-time RFC 7638
thumbprint compare against the cert's pubkey. Both paths route
through service.RevocationSvc.RevokeCertificateWithActor so the
existing CRL/OCSP refresh + audit + metrics pipeline applies. RFC
5280 §5.3.1 numeric reason codes clamp to certctl's
domain.ValidRevocationReasons; codes 8 (removeFromCRL) + 10
(aACompromise) clamp to 'unspecified' since they aren't in the set.
- ARI is GET-only and unauth per RFC 9773 §4. Cert-id wire shape is
base64url(AKI).base64url(serial); ParseARICertID strict-decodes,
SerialHex emits the canonical certctl-shape lowercase-no-leading-
zeros hex used in certificate_versions.serial_number.
ComputeRenewalWindow has 3 branches: bound RenewalPolicy →
[notAfter - days, notAfter - days/2]; no policy → last 33% of
validity; past expiry → [now, now + 1d] (renew immediately).
Retry-After honors CERTCTL_ACME_SERVER_ARI_POLL_INTERVAL.
What ships:
- internal/api/acme/{keychange,ari}.go (+ phase4_test.go: 15 tests).
- internal/api/acme/order.go: RevokeCertRequest wire shape.
- internal/api/handler/acme.go: KeyChange, RevokeCert, RenewalInfo
+ 11 new writeServiceError mappings.
- internal/repository/postgres/acme.go: UpdateAccountJWKWithTx (FOR
UPDATE + expectedOldThumbprint precondition; ErrACMEAccountKey-
ConcurrentUpdate sentinel) + AccountOwnsCertificate.
- internal/service/acme.go: RotateAccountKey + RevokeCert +
RenewalInfo; CertificateRevoker + RenewalPolicyLookup interfaces;
SetRevocationDelegate + SetRenewalPolicyLookup wiring; 11 new
sentinels; 6 new metrics.
- internal/service/acme_phase4_test.go: service-layer tests for
RotateAccountKey (happy + duplicate-key) + RevokeCert (kid mismatch
+ jwk mismatch + jwk happy + already-revoked + reason-clamping) +
RenewalInfo (disabled + bad cert-id).
- internal/api/router/router.go: 6 new register calls (3 per-profile
+ 3 shorthand). Router parity exceptions extended in lockstep
(in-tree SpecParityExceptions + CI-only openapi-handler-exceptions
.yaml).
- cmd/server/main.go: SetRevocationDelegate(revocationSvc) +
SetRenewalPolicyLookup(renewalPolicyRepo) at startup.
- internal/config/config.go: CERTCTL_ACME_SERVER_ARI_ENABLED (default
true) + CERTCTL_ACME_SERVER_ARI_POLL_INTERVAL (default 6h);
BuildDirectory's ariEnabled flag now flips on under
cfg.ARIEnabled.
- docs/acme-server.md: phase status flipped to Phase 4; endpoints
table grows 6 rows (3 per-profile + 3 shorthand); FAQ section
appended explaining how to rotate keys, revoke certs, and consume
ARI.
Tests:
- 'go vet ./...' clean across the repo.
- 'go test -short -count=1 ./...' green across every package.
- phase4_test.go covers: keychange happy-path + 5 negatives +
MapKeyChangeErrorToProblem coverage; ARI cert-id round-trip + 6
malformed cases + BuildARICertID from a generated cert; window-
math 3 branches.
- service-layer tests confirm: RotateAccountKey atomically swaps the
thumbprint (verifies persisted state) and rejects duplicate keys;
RevokeCert routes through the stub RevocationSvc with the right
actor string + reason on the jwk path, rejects mismatched keys,
rejects already-revoked certs, clamps reason codes correctly;
RenewalInfo respects ARIEnabled + cert-id format.

acme-server: HTTP-01 + DNS-01 + TLS-ALPN-01 challenge validation (Phase 3/7)
Wires up the actual challenge-validation machinery so profiles in
acme_auth_mode='challenge' resolve end-to-end. After this commit,
cert-manager 1.15+ with `solver: http01: ingress` against a
challenge-mode profile completes a real HTTP-01 flow and gets a cert.
DNS-01 + TLS-ALPN-01 share the same code path with the appropriate
validator selection.
Architecture (the load-bearing parts):
- 3 separate semaphore-bounded worker pools (one per challenge type),
so HTTP-01 and DNS-01 can't starve each other under load. Default
weight 10 per type; tunable via CERTCTL_ACME_SERVER_HTTP01_CONCURRENCY,
DNS01_CONCURRENCY, TLSALPN01_CONCURRENCY.
- 30s per-challenge timeout (configurable via PoolConfig.PerChallengeTimeout).
- HTTP-01 validator runs validation.IsReservedIPForDial (newly
exported wrapper preserving the existing private impl byte-for-byte
for the network scanner + ValidateSafeURL paths) on the resolved
IP — both at the initial dial and every redirect hop. SSRF probes
into private IP space are refused before the connect.
- DNS-01 validator uses a dedicated resolver pointed at
CERTCTL_ACME_SERVER_DNS01_RESOLVER (default 8.8.8.8:53) — does
NOT use the system resolver to keep behavior deterministic across
deployments. Wildcard handling: `*.example.com` queries
_acme-challenge.example.com.
- TLS-ALPN-01 validator (RFC 8737) connects with ALPN `acme-tls/1`,
inspects the id-pe-acmeIdentifier extension (OID 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.1.31),
asserts the ASN.1 OCTET STRING value equals SHA-256 of the key
authorization. Cert chain is intentionally NOT validated
(InsecureSkipVerify=true is correct per RFC 8737 — the proof is
in the extension, not the chain). Documented in docs/tls.md L-001
table + the //nolint:gosec comment carries the justification.
SSRF guard: same posture as HTTP-01.
- Validation is asynchronous: handler accepts the POST and returns
200 immediately with status=processing; the worker-pool fires a
callback that updates challenge → authz → order in a fresh
background-context WithinTx. The order auto-promotes to `ready`
when ALL authzs become valid; auto-fails to `invalid` when ANY
authz becomes invalid.
What ships:
- internal/api/acme/challenge.go: KeyAuthorization (RFC 8555 §8.1) +
DNS01TXTRecordValue (§8.4) + TLSALPN01ExtensionValue (RFC 8737 §3)
helpers; IDPEAcmeIdentifierOID; ChallengeProblemFromError mapper
(4-way: connection / dns / tls / incorrectResponse); 9 sentinel
errors covering every named failure mode.
- internal/api/acme/validators.go: ChallengeValidator interface;
Pool dispatcher with 3 semaphores + per-type in-flight + peak
gauges; HTTP01Validator + DNS01Validator + TLSALPN01Validator
implementations; Drain method called from cmd/server/main.go's
shutdown sequence.
- internal/api/acme/validators_test.go: KeyAuthorization round-trip,
DNS01 / TLS-ALPN-01 helper tests, SSRF rejection, bounded-
concurrency saturation test (peak-in-flight ≤ cap), type-isolation
test (HTTP-01 saturation doesn't block DNS-01), UnknownType test,
7-case ChallengeProblemFromError mapping.
- internal/repository/postgres/acme.go: GetChallengeByID +
UpdateChallengeWithTx + UpdateAuthzStatusWithTx.
- internal/service/acme.go: SetValidatorPool wires the *acme.Pool;
RespondToChallenge dispatches with account-ownership assertion +
KeyAuthorization computation + processing-status transition (atomic
+ audit); recordChallengeOutcome callback persists the final
challenge + cascading authz + order-promote/-fail in one WithinTx +
audit row. 4 new metrics.
- internal/api/handler/acme.go: Challenge handler; round-trips
account.JWKPEM through ParseJWKFromPEM to recover the *jose.JSONWebKey
the validator pool needs.
- internal/api/router/router.go + openapi_parity_test.go +
api/openapi-handler-exceptions.yaml: 2 new routes (per-profile +
shorthand for challenge/{chall_id}) with parity exceptions.
- cmd/server/main.go: constructs the Pool at startup with the
per-type concurrency caps from cfg.ACMEServer; ACMEService.ValidatorPool()
accessor exposed for the shutdown drain sequence.
- internal/validation/ssrf.go: exported IsReservedIPForDial wrapper
(private impl unchanged; network scanner + ValidateSafeURL paths
byte-identical with prior behavior).
- docs/tls.md: L-001 InsecureSkipVerify table extended with the
TLS-ALPN-01 validator justification (RFC 8737 §3).
- docs/acme-server.md: phase status updated; endpoints table grows
the challenge row; phases-cross-reference flips Phase 3 → live.
Tests:
- 80%+ coverage on the new files.
- BoundedConcurrency test: 10 challenges submitted against an
HTTP-01 pool of weight 3; observed peak-in-flight ≤ 3, all 10
eventually complete, post-Drain in-flight returns to 0.
- TypeIsolation test: HTTP-01 saturation does NOT block a DNS-01
submission; DNS-01 callback fires within 2s.
- SSRF rejection test: a Validate against `localhost` is refused
before the dial (ErrChallengeReservedIP or ErrChallengeConnection).

acme-server: foundation — directory + new-nonce + per-profile routing (Phase 1a/7)
First slice of the RFC 8555 ACME server endpoint (master plan at cowork/acme-server-endpoint-prompt.md, per-phase prompts at cowork/acme-server-prompts/). This commit lands the smallest viable end-to-end deployable slice: an ACME client running curl -sk https://certctl/acme/profile/<id>/directory curl -sk -I https://certctl/acme/profile/<id>/new-nonce successfully fetches the directory document and a Replay-Nonce. Account creation, JWS verification, orders, challenges, and revocation are all out of scope for this phase and arrive in Phases 1b–4. Closes the Rank 1 LHF from the 2026-05-03 Infisical deep-research (cowork/infisical-deep-research-results.md). Pre-fix, certctl was an ACME consumer only — no /acme/directory endpoint, no JWS verifier, no challenge validators. K8s customers running cert-manager could not point at certctl as an ACME issuer; they had to deploy a certctl agent on every node. What ships: - internal/api/acme/{directory,nonce,errors}.go (+ tests). - internal/api/handler/acme.go + acme_handler_test.go. - internal/repository/postgres/acme.go (nonce ops only — Phase 1b extends with account CRUD; Phases 2-4 extend with order / authz / challenge CRUD). - internal/service/acme.go (BuildDirectory + IssueNonce stubs; Phase 1b adds VerifyJWS / NewAccount / etc.). - migrations/000025_acme_server.{up,down}.sql ships the full 5-table ACME schema (acme_accounts / acme_orders / acme_authorizations / acme_challenges / acme_nonces) PLUS the per-profile certificate_profiles.acme_auth_mode column. Phase 1a actively uses only acme_nonces; remaining tables are empty until Phases 1b-4 plug in. - internal/config/config.go: ACMEServerConfig struct + ACMEServer field on Config. Env vars use CERTCTL_ACME_SERVER_* prefix to avoid colliding with the existing consumer-side ACMEConfig at config.go:1746 (CERTCTL_ACME_DIRECTORY_URL / PROFILE / CHALLENGE_TYPE etc.). Phase 1a wires Enabled + DefaultAuthMode + DefaultProfileID + NonceTTL + DirectoryMeta; Order/Authz TTLs + per-challenge-type concurrency caps + DNS01 resolver are reserved fields parsed in 1a so operators can set them ahead of Phases 2/3. - cmd/server/main.go: wire ACMEHandler into the HandlerRegistry literal alongside the existing certificate / EST / SCEP / etc. handlers. - internal/api/router/router.go: HandlerRegistry.ACME field + 6 Register calls (3 per-profile + 3 shorthand). - internal/api/router/openapi_parity_test.go: 6 new entries in SpecParityExceptions. ACME is a wire-protocol surface (JWS-signed JSON over HTTPS per RFC 7515) whose semantics are dictated by RFC 8555 + RFC 9773 rather than by an OpenAPI document, same precedent as SCEP/EST. The canonical reference is docs/acme-server.md. - docs/acme-server.md: Phase-1a-shaped reference. Configuration table for every CERTCTL_ACME_SERVER_* env var. Per-profile auth-mode decision tree skeleton. TLS trust bootstrap section flagging cert-manager's ClusterIssuer.spec.acme.caBundle requirement (the single biggest first-time-deploy footgun; the full cert-manager walkthrough lands in Phase 6 but the requirement is documented up front). Architecture decisions baked in: - URL family is /acme/profile/<id>/* (per-profile, canonical) with /acme/* shorthand active when CERTCTL_ACME_SERVER_DEFAULT_PROFILE_ID is set. Path matches existing per-profile precedent in EST + SCEP. - Auth mode is per-profile (acme_auth_mode column on certificate_profiles), NOT server-wide. One certctl-server can serve trust_authenticated for an internal-PKI profile and challenge for a public-trust-style profile simultaneously. The column is read at request time, not cached at server start — operators flipping a profile's mode via SQL take effect on the next order without restart. - Nonces are DB-backed (acme_nonces table). Survive server restart. The RFC 8555 §6.5 replay defense requires the store to outlast the client's nonce caching window; an in-memory-only nonce store would lose every in-flight order on restart. - Per-op atomic counters on service.ACMEService.Metrics() — certctl_acme_directory_total, certctl_acme_directory_failures_total, certctl_acme_new_nonce_total, certctl_acme_new_nonce_failures_total. Naming follows certctl frozen decision 0.10 cardinality discipline. Phase 1b will extend with new_account counters; Phase 2 with order / finalize / cert; Phase 3 with per-challenge-type counters. Audit fixes #11 + #12 (cowork/acme-server-prompts/audit-additions.md) applied: - #11: CERTCTL_ACME_SERVER_* prefix avoids the consumer-side CERTCTL_ACME_* namespace collision. - #12: prior-attempt WIP from two failed Phase-1 dispatches was discarded at phase start; this commit starts from a clean tree. Tests: - 14 unit tests in internal/api/acme/ (directory, nonce, errors). - 7 handler-level tests via httptest.NewServer + mockACMEService (mirrors the mockSCEPService pattern at scep_handler_test.go). - 7 service-layer tests with mocked repo + injected profileLookup. - All pass under -race -count=1 -short. Deferred to Phase 1b: - JWS verification (go-jose v4 — see master-prompt §8a for the API surface and audit doc for the speculation pitfalls). - new-account / account/<id> endpoints + AccountService. - Nonce *consumption* path (issue path is in this commit; consume is only invoked by JWS-verified POSTs which Phase 1b adds).

tlsprobe: add VerifyWithExponentialBackoff + rewire all connectors' runPostDeployVerify
Closes Top-10 fix #8 of the 2026-05-02 deployment-target audit re-run (see cowork/deployment-target-audit-2026-05-02-rerun/ RESULTS.md). Pre-fix, every connector's runPostDeployVerify used linear backoff (default 3 attempts × 2s linear waits). Linear backoff misbehaves under load-balanced rollouts: the verify probe hits a random LB-backed pod, and 3 × 2s often falls into the worst case where match-fingerprint pods stop responding by attempt 3 due to LB session-stickiness cycles. This commit: 1. New shared helper internal/tlsprobe/retry.go:: VerifyWithExponentialBackoff. Default 3 attempts; 1s initial, 16s cap. Doubling pattern: 1s → 2s → 4s → 8s → 16s. probe func(ctx) error signature so connectors compose handshake + fingerprint-compare into one lambda. 2. Each connector's runPostDeployVerify (nginx, apache, haproxy, traefik, envoy, postfix, dovecot) rewired to call the shared helper. Per-connector signature unchanged. 3. New PostDeployVerifyMaxBackoff time.Duration field added to each connector's Config. Operators preserving V2 linear behavior set PostDeployVerifyMaxBackoff equal to PostDeployVerifyBackoff. 4. Tests: - tlsprobe/retry_test.go: TestVerifyWithExponentialBackoff_ GrowthAndCap + TestVerifyWithExponentialBackoff_ StopsOnFirstSuccess + TestVerifyWithExponentialBackoff_ CtxCancellation. - One Test<Connector>_VerifyExponentialBackoff_ GrowsBetweenAttempts per connector (6 total across postfix, nginx, apache, haproxy; traefik and envoy connectors use unique test signatures so test wiring deferred to future unification). 5. docs/deployment-atomicity.md Section 4 updated: 'linear backoff' → 'exponential backoff (1s → 16s cap)'; YAML example shows the new field. Backward-compat note: PostDeployVerifyBackoff was interpreted as the linear interval pre-fix; post-fix it's interpreted as the initial backoff (which doubles each attempt). Operators using the default value (2s) see waits of 2s → 4s → 8s instead of 2s → 2s → 2s. For LB-rollout cases this is the intended behavior; for single-target deploys the wall-clock is slightly longer (12s vs 6s for 3 attempts). Operators preserving V2 linear semantics: set PostDeployVerifyMaxBackoff equal to PostDeployVerifyBackoff. Verified locally: - gofmt clean. - go test -short -count=1 ./internal/tlsprobe/... ./internal/connector/target/{postfix,nginx,apache,haproxy}/... green.

docs(postfix): add Mode=postfix vs Mode=dovecot decision matrix subsection
Closes Top-10 fix #9 of the 2026-05-02 deployment-target audit
re-run (see cowork/deployment-target-audit-2026-05-02-rerun/
RESULTS.md). Pre-fix, the Postfix connector's docs in
docs/connectors.md described the connector as a single
"Postfix / Dovecot" target without explicit guidance on when to
use Mode=postfix vs Mode=dovecot. Operators with a mail server
running both Postfix (MTA, port 25) and Dovecot (IMAPS, port
993) had to read source to figure out the dual-deploy pattern.

docs(ssh): operator playbook for InsecureIgnoreHostKey design choice
Closes Top-10 fix #7 of the 2026-05-02 deployment-target audit re-run (see cowork/deployment-target-audit-2026-05-02-rerun/ RESULTS.md). Pre-fix, the SSH connector's ssh.InsecureIgnoreHostKey() at internal/connector/target/ssh/ ssh.go (realSSHClient.Connect) had only an inline comment justifying the design choice. An acquirer's diligence engineer reading the connector cold pattern-matches "MITM hazard" without seeing the comment. This commit lands a doc-side operator playbook in docs/connectors.md SSH section covering: 1. Why the connector accepts any host key (operator-configured target infrastructure; mirrors network scanner's InsecureSkipVerify and F5's Insecure flag). 2. Threat model the choice accepts (passive eavesdropper on operator-controlled network; layered SSH-key auth limits blast radius). 3. Threat model the choice does NOT accept (public-internet ephemeral hosts, multi-tenant networks, strict MITM- resistance regulatory requirements). 4. Mitigations operators can layer (custom SSHClient via NewWithClient + golang.org/x/crypto/ssh/knownhosts; SSH certificate authentication via @cert-authority pinning; network segmentation; per-target key rotation). 5. When to NOT use the SSH connector (regulatory environments, dynamic IPs, multi-tenant networks). 6. V3-Pro forward path (built-in known_hosts management, tracked in WORKSPACE-ROADMAP.md). Inline comment in ssh.go realSSHClient.Connect updated to forward-reference the new doc subsection (no logic change; same HostKeyCallback: ssh.InsecureIgnoreHostKey() call). Same shape Bundle 8 used for "Operator playbook: keytool argv password exposure" in docs/connectors.md JavaKeystore section. No code-behavior changes. No test changes. Verified locally: - gofmt / go vet clean. - go test -short ./internal/connector/target/ssh/... green. Audit reference: cowork/deployment-target-audit-2026-05-02-rerun/ RESULTS.md Top-10 fix #7. |

iis,wincertstore: default-deadline ctx wrapper for PowerShell exec calls
Closes Top-10 fix #4 of the 2026-05-02 deployment-target audit re-run (see cowork/deployment-target-audit-2026-05-02-rerun/ RESULTS.md). Pre-fix, both IIS and WinCertStore's realExecutor invoked PowerShell via exec.CommandContext(ctx, ...) and relied entirely on the caller's ctx to provide a deadline. If the caller forgot to attach one (context.Background() in a deeply-nested path; an operator running an ad-hoc deploy via a CLI that doesn't default-deadline its ctx), a hung WinRM session blocked the deploy worker thread indefinitely. S2 (failure isolation) bar from the audit: "does a hung WinRM take down the deploy worker pool?" — today's answer was "potentially yes" for these two connectors. Post-fix the answer is "no, capped at the configured ExecDeadline (default 60s)". This commit: 1. Adds Config.ExecDeadline (time.Duration, json: "exec_deadline") to both connectors, defaulted to 60 seconds. WinCertStore defaults via the existing applyDefaults helper; IIS defaults inline at New() and inside ValidateConfig (the IIS connector has no shared applyDefaults helper today; out-of-scope to refactor one in for this minor fix). Operators on slow Windows links can override via the JSON config field exec_deadline. 2. Wraps realExecutor.Execute with a fallback context.WithTimeout that fires ONLY when ctx has no deadline of its own. Caller- supplied deadlines always win — the wrapper is a safety net, not a hard cap. defer cancel() guards against goroutine leaks. 3. Tests: - TestIIS_RealExecutor_AttachesDefaultDeadlineWhenCallerHasNone (passes context.Background; asserts the call returns within 500ms with an error). On Linux/macOS runners powershell.exe is missing and exec.Cmd fails fast; on Windows the wrapper's ctx deadline cancels the running PowerShell process. Either path returns well under 500ms. - TestIIS_RealExecutor_RespectsCallerDeadlineWhenSet (10s fallback executor deadline, 50ms caller ctx; asserts caller deadline wins). - TestIIS_RealExecutor_NoDeadlineWiredWhenZero (deadline=0 means no fallback wrapper; caller's tight ctx still bounds). - TestIIS_New_DefaultsExecDeadlineTo60s + TestIIS_New_RespectsExplicitExecDeadline pin the constructor's defaulting behavior (uses winrm mode so the test doesn't need powershell.exe in PATH). - Same five tests in wincertstore_test.go. 4. docs/connectors.md IIS + WinCertStore sections document the new exec_deadline field with: what it is (per-PowerShell- subprocess cap), default (60 seconds), override semantics (caller ctx deadline wins). No change to behavior when the caller already attaches a deadline (the common case in production code paths). Tests using the mock executor (mockExecutor in iis_test.go / wincertstore_test.go) are unaffected — they bypass realExecutor entirely. S2 cross-cutting scorecard rating in cowork/deployment-target-audit-2026-05-02-rerun/findings.json flips from "gap" to "pass" for IIS and WinCertStore (in any future re-audit). Verified locally: - gofmt / go vet / staticcheck clean across both packages. - go test -race -count=1 ./internal/connector/target/iis/... ./internal/connector/target/wincertstore/... green.

docs(deployment-atomicity): K8s row honest + audit-closure rollup
Closes Bundle 1 of the 2026-05-02 deployment-target coverage audit
(see cowork/deployment-target-audit-2026-05-02/RESULTS.md). The
audit's original Bundle 1 spec read "soften the IIS / SSH /
WinCertStore / JavaKeystore / K8s rollback claims first so the doc
isn't a procurement-liability while bundles 5-8 catch the
implementation up." Execution order inverted that loop —
Bundles 3-11 shipped before Bundle 1, and each landed the
implementation that made the corresponding row honest. So this
commit's effective scope is dramatically smaller than the audit
originally specified.
Three changes, all in docs/deployment-atomicity.md:
1. L95 k8ssecret row softened. Pre-fix the row claimed "GetSecret
RBAC probe" / "Update Secret" / "SHA-256 verify of returned
Secret" / "Atomic at API server; kubelet sync polled via
Pod.Status.ContainerStatuses" — as if all four columns described
live behavior. The production realK8sClient at
internal/connector/target/k8ssecret/k8ssecret.go:397-420 is
still a stub returning "real Kubernetes client not implemented
— use NewWithClient for tests" for every method. Post-fix the
row says so explicitly, points at the stub source, notes that
test mocks via NewWithClient work today, and forward-references
the Bundle 2 tracking prompt at
cowork/deployment-target-audit-2026-05-02/k8s-real-client-prompt.md.
2. New Section 1.5 "Audit closure status" inserted between
Overview (Section 1) and the atomic-write primitive (Section 2).

javakeystore: pre-deploy export snapshot + on-import-failure rollback + argv-password operator note
Closes Bundle 8 of the 2026-05-02 deployment-target coverage audit
(see cowork/deployment-target-audit-2026-05-02/RESULTS.md). Pre-fix,
DeployCertificate at javakeystore.go:172-272 ran an irreversible
keytool -delete against the existing alias, then keytool
-importkeystore. If the import failed after the delete succeeded,
the keystore was missing the alias entirely — previous cert gone,
new cert never landed. docs/deployment-atomicity.md L94 promised
"keytool snapshot; rollback via keytool -delete + re-import"; the
code didn't deliver. Separately, the operator-facing keystore
password is passed via -storepass argv (a standard keytool
limitation) which is visible to ps(1) for the duration of each
subprocess; this was undocumented as an operator-playbook caveat.
This commit:
1. Pre-delete snapshot. When os.Stat(KeystorePath) succeeds,
snapshotKeystore runs keytool -exportkeystore to
<BackupDir>/.certctl-bak.<unix-nanos>.p12 BEFORE the existing
-delete step. Backup path persisted in a local variable for
the rollback path; export-step failure aborts the deploy
entirely (no mutation has happened yet — the keystore is
untouched). Snapshot skipped on first-time deploys (no
keystore file = nothing to roll back to). The "alias not
present in pre-existing keystore" case is recognised via the
well-known keytool error string and treated as a clean
first-time-on-existing-keystore signal — the deploy proceeds
without a backup, and rollback (if needed) becomes the
no-backup branch.
2. On-import-failure rollback. When keytool -importkeystore
returns error, rollbackImport(ctx, backupPath) runs:
- keytool -delete -alias <Alias> ... (best-effort; the failed
import may have created a partial alias entry).
- keytool -importkeystore from the backup PKCS#12 to restore
the previous state.
On rollback success, the deploy returns wrapped error noting
"rolled back from <backup_path>". On rollback failure,
returns operator-actionable wrapped error containing both the
import error AND the rollback error AND the backup path so
the operator can manually keytool -importkeystore from the
.p12 file to recover.
3. Backup retention. Successful deploys prune older
.certctl-bak.*.p12 files beyond Config.BackupRetention.
Sort by ModTime newest-first; keep most recent N. Defaults:
BackupRetention=0 → keep most recent 3 (the default).
BackupRetention=N → keep most recent N.
BackupRetention=-1 → opt out of pruning entirely (operators
that wire their own archival/rotation).
Pruning runs in the success path AFTER the optional reload
command so it doesn't interfere with deploy-time signals.
ReadDir / Remove failures are non-fatal (debug log only) —
the deploy already succeeded.
4. Config gains BackupRetention int and BackupDir string fields.
BackupDir defaults to filepath.Dir(KeystorePath) so backups
land on the same filesystem as the keystore (atomic-ish
writes, disk-full failures fail fast at snapshot time).
5. Helper extraction. snapshotKeystore + rollbackImport +
pruneBackups + backupDir are private methods on Connector.
Constants backupFilePrefix=".certctl-bak." and
backupFileSuffix=".p12" centralise the naming convention so
the snapshot writer, the rollback reader, and the retention
pruner all agree.
6. Operator-playbook section added to docs/connectors.md
JavaKeystore section. Documents the standard keytool
-storepass argv exposure: ps(1)-visible for the duration
of each subprocess. Lists mitigations:
- Restrict shell access to the agent host.
- Linux user namespaces / AppArmor / SystemD ProtectProc=
invisible to deny ps-visibility.
- Single-purpose container for proper PID-namespace
isolation.
- Post-deploy keystore password rotation via reload_command
for high-security environments.
- BCFKS keystore type for FIPS environments (same argv
caveat applies).
Also documents an "Atomic rollback" subsection covering the
snapshot/rollback flow, the new backup_retention /
backup_dir Config fields, and the design choice to reuse
the keystore password for the snapshot (rather than
generating a separate transient password) — operator
already trusts the connector with this secret, surface area
doesn't grow, rollback's matching -srcstorepass stays
simple.
Tests added to javakeystore_test.go (7 new tests, ~430 LOC):
- TestJKS_Snapshot_RunsBefore_Delete: mock executor records call
order; asserts -exportkeystore is call[0], -delete is call[1],
-importkeystore is call[2]. The snapshot MUST run before the
delete — otherwise the delete destroys the very state the
snapshot is meant to capture.
- TestJKS_Snapshot_FirstTimeDeploy_NoExport: no keystore file
pre-created; asserts exactly 1 keytool call (-importkeystore
only), no -exportkeystore.
- TestJKS_ImportFails_RollsBack: happy rollback path with one
same-Subject backup. Asserts rollback re-import references the
same backup path the snapshot wrote (verified via arg
comparison between call[0] and call[4]).
- TestJKS_ImportFails_RollbackAlsoFails_OperatorActionable:
wrapped-error escalation with backup path in the error
message.
- TestJKS_BackupRetention_PrunesOldBackups: 5 pre-existing
staggered-ModTime backups + 1 deploy-created → retention=3 →
exactly 3 newest survive (deploy-created + 2 newest
pre-existing); 3 oldest pre-existing pruned.
- TestJKS_BackupRetention_Zero_DefaultsTo3: BackupRetention=0
must default to 3 (not "keep none").
- TestJKS_BackupRetention_Negative_OptsOut: BackupRetention=-1
pre-existing 5 + deploy 1 = 6 total, all 6 remain.
- TestJKS_Snapshot_AliasNotInKeystore_ProceedsCleanly: keystore
exists but alias missing; -exportkeystore returns "alias does
not exist" → snapshot helper recognises this signal and
returns ("", nil) so the deploy proceeds cleanly.
mockExecutor extended with optional `onCall` hook so the
retention-pruning tests can simulate keytool -exportkeystore's
file-write side effect (via the simulateExportSideEffect helper
that parses -destkeystore from args and writes a placeholder
.p12 file). Existing tests that don't set onCall behave
identically to before — backward compatible.
docs/deployment-atomicity.md L94 unchanged from today's text —
Bundle 1 doc-realignment hasn't shipped, so the "keytool snapshot;
rollback via keytool -delete + re-import" line was never softened.
Post-Bundle-8 the claim is honest (was aspirational pre-fix).
Verified locally (sandbox lacks staticcheck install due to disk
pressure; CI runs the full lint gate):
- gofmt -l ./internal/connector/target/javakeystore/ clean
- go vet ./internal/connector/target/javakeystore/ clean
- go build ./cmd/agent/... clean
- go test -race -count=1 ./internal/connector/target/javakeystore/
green (16 tests total: 9 pre-existing + 7 new)
