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

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

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

docs: Phase 11 follow-on — fix inter-doc cross-references in deeper subdirs

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: 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: Phase 2 mechanical file moves to subdirectory structure
Pure git mv operations; no content edits. Internal links remain pointing
at old paths and will be fixed in Phase 11. Per the Phase 1 audit
recommendations at cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-1-audit-2026-05-04/.
35 files moved across 8 audience-organized subdirectories:
docs/getting-started/ (5):
quickstart.md, concepts.md, examples.md, advanced-demo.md (was
demo-advanced.md), why-certctl.md
docs/reference/ (6):
architecture.md, api.md (was openapi.md), mcp.md,
intermediate-ca-hierarchy.md, deployment-model.md (was
deployment-atomicity.md), vendor-matrix.md (was
deployment-vendor-matrix.md)
docs/reference/protocols/ (6):
acme-server.md, acme-server-threat-model.md, scep-intune.md,
est.md, crl-ocsp.md, async-ca-polling.md (was async-polling.md)
docs/operator/ (4):
security.md, tls.md, database-tls.md, approval-workflow.md
docs/operator/runbooks/ (3):
cloud-targets.md (was runbook-cloud-targets.md), expiry-alerts.md
(was runbook-expiry-alerts.md), disaster-recovery.md
docs/migration/ (3):
from-certbot.md (was migrate-from-certbot.md), from-acmesh.md
(was migrate-from-acmesh.md), cert-manager-coexistence.md (was
certctl-for-cert-manager-users.md)
docs/compliance/ (4):
index.md (was compliance.md), soc2.md (was compliance-soc2.md),
pci-dss.md (was compliance-pci-dss.md), nist-sp-800-57.md (was
compliance-nist.md)
docs/contributor/ (4):
testing-strategy.md, test-environment.md (was test-env.md),
ci-pipeline.md, qa-test-suite.md (was qa-test-guide.md)
Deferred to later Phase 2 sub-phases:
- connectors.md split (Phase 4): docs/connectors.md +
docs/connector-{apache,f5,iis,k8s,nginx}.md still at top level
- testing-guide.md prune (Phase 5): docs/testing-guide.md still
at top level
- features.md disperse (Phase 6): docs/features.md still at top
level
- legacy-est-scep.md split (Phase 7): docs/legacy-est-scep.md
still at top level
- ACME walkthrough re-homing (Phase 8): three
docs/acme-*-walkthrough.md still at top level
- Upgrade docs archive (Phase 3): two docs/upgrade-*.md still
at top level
Cross-reference updates (Phase 11) will happen after all moves and
content edits land. Internal links to docs/* paths are temporarily
broken until that phase completes.
