fix(docs,code): ARCH-004 + SEC-003-K8S + ARCH-003 — marketing claims now match code truth
Sprint 4 unified-master-audit closure. Three claim-truth-alignment
findings whose README edits land on shared lines, bundled into one
commit.
ARCH-004 — 'full REST API exposed as MCP tools' overclaim:
Pre-fix the README said 'the full REST API is exposed as MCP
tools'; the actual MCP coverage is 162 tools / 220 routes
(~74%). The remaining gap is intentional: protocol-conformance
endpoints (ACME/SCEP/EST/OCSP/CRL), browser-only auth flow,
health/ready, and streaming/binary downloads — categories that
don't fit the request-response JSON tool shape.
Fix:
- README L78 qualified to 'the bulk of the REST API surface'
with explicit numbers + pointer to the new coverage doc.
- New docs/reference/mcp-coverage.md publishes the exclusion
categories with rationale + the canonical commands to
re-derive route + tool counts.
- New scripts/ci-guards/mcp-coverage-parity.sh fails the build
if the tool count drops below (routes − exclusions − 40-slack),
so a future regression that drops 50+ tools surfaces in CI.
Verified locally: clean at 162 tools / 220 routes / 37
intentional exclusions.
SEC-003-K8S — Kubernetes Secrets connector is a runtime stub:
Pre-fix README L67 marketed 'fifteen native target connectors'
with Kubernetes Secrets in the list, but realK8sClient's CRUD
methods returned 'real Kubernetes client not implemented' in
production. Per the audit's option (b) recommendation: downgrade
marketing + runtime-guard the stub.
Fix:
- README L12 + L67: 'fourteen production-ready native deployment-
target connectors plus Kubernetes Secrets (preview)'.
- k8ssecret.New() now refuses to construct unless
CERTCTL_K8SSECRET_PREVIEW_ACK=true is set, mirroring the
SEC-H3 ACK pattern. NewWithClient path (test injection)
unchanged.
- docs/reference/connectors/index.md moves Kubernetes Secrets
out of the canonical fourteen-target list into a new 'Preview
connectors' subsection.
- Regression tests in k8ssecret_test.go pin the new gate
(rejects without ACK, accepts with ACK, still rejects nil
config even with ACK).
ARCH-003 — CERTCTL_KEYGEN_MODE=server breaks the blanket claim:
Pre-fix README L12 + L82 said 'private keys stay on your
infrastructure' and 'never touch the control plane' as blanket
promises. Flipping CERTCTL_KEYGEN_MODE=server makes the control
plane mint keys in process memory — breaking the claim — and
the only signal was a boot-time slog WARN. An operator who set
the flag and didn't read logs ran in silent contradiction to the
marketed posture.
Fix:
- config.Validate() refuses to accept KeygenMode='server'
unless DemoModeAck=true (mirroring SEC-H3). Production
deploys (the default Mode='agent' path) are unaffected.
- README L12 + L82 qualified: 'In agent-mode (the default),
private keys ...; a demo-only CERTCTL_KEYGEN_MODE=server
flag mints keys server-side, refuses to start without an
explicit CERTCTL_DEMO_MODE_ACK=true acknowledgement.'
- Regression tests for the new Validate gate land in
config_test.go (note: gate tests landed in the ARCH-002
commit because of contiguous-hunk constraint at the bottom
of the file).
Closes ARCH-004, SEC-003-K8S, ARCH-003.

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

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

docs: Phase 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 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 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.
