README: Remove Contents section (GitHub auto-generates ToC), replace
12-bullet Core capabilities block with link to Feature Inventory,
replace 21-row Database Schema table with one-liner linking to
Architecture Guide. Visitors now hit screenshots ~60 lines sooner.
why-certctl: Remove Feature Summary section (duplicated README and
Feature Inventory content). Competitive comparisons remain as the
focused value of this page.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The detailed prose comparisons in why-certctl.md are sufficient.
Tables were redundant with the per-competitor sections.

Remove list markers so dot-separated links flow as a single line
on GitHub instead of rendering as three bullet points.

README: Replace old 5-column comparison table with 7-competitor table
(certctl, CertKit, CertWarden, Certimate, CZERTAINLY, KeyTalk, cert-manager)
with Free tier row. Remove CertKit from documentation table link text.
Version badge v2.0.4 → v2.0.5, add Why certctl? and Feature Inventory
to docs table, condense ToC, trim Configuration/API/Roadmap sections
with links to detailed docs.
why-certctl.md: Add detailed comparison sections for Certimate (cloud/CDN
focus, no agent, ACME-only), CZERTAINLY (K8s-required microservices,
pluggable connectors, broader vision), and KeyTalk (proprietary, multi-cert-type,
no public docs). Add 14-row summary comparison table covering all 7 competitors.

EAB credentials (KID + HMAC) were defined in the ACME connector config
but never wired into the acme.Account registration call. This fixes the
dead code and adds automatic EAB credential fetching for ZeroSSL — when
the directory URL is detected as ZeroSSL and no EAB credentials are
provided, certctl calls ZeroSSL's public API to get them automatically.
Changes:
- Wire EABKid/EABHmac into acme.Account.ExternalAccountBinding
- Add isZeroSSL() detection and fetchZeroSSLEAB() auto-fetch
- Add CERTCTL_ACME_EAB_KID/CERTCTL_ACME_EAB_HMAC env vars to main.go
- Add 13 ACME connector tests (config validation, EAB decode, ZeroSSL
auto-EAB with mock servers, URL detection)
- Update docs: README, architecture, connectors, demo-advanced,
testing-guide with EAB/auto-EAB documentation

Standing TXT record at _validation-persist.<domain> eliminates per-renewal
DNS updates. Auto-fallback to dns-01 if CA doesn't offer dns-persist-01.
ScriptDNSSolver extended with PresentPersist method. Configurable via
CERTCTL_ACME_CHALLENGE_TYPE=dns-persist-01 and
CERTCTL_ACME_DNS_PERSIST_ISSUER_DOMAIN env vars.
Also fixes IsExpired edge-case test in discovery_test.go that always failed
due to time.Now() drift between test setup and method invocation.

Implement Enrollment over Secure Transport protocol with 4 endpoints under
/.well-known/est/ — cacerts (CA chain distribution), simpleenroll (initial
enrollment), simplereenroll (certificate renewal), and csrattrs (CSR
attributes). PKCS#7 certs-only wire format with hand-rolled ASN.1, accepts
both PEM and base64-encoded DER CSRs, configurable issuer and profile
binding, full audit trail. 28 new tests (18 handler + 10 service).
Also includes:
- GetCACertPEM added to issuer connector interface (all 4 issuers updated)
- EST integration tests wired into e2e test suite (13 test cases)
- QA testing guide Part 26 (15 manual EST test cases)
- All docs updated: README, features, architecture, concepts, connectors,
quickstart, demo-advanced (endpoint counts, MCP wording, agent IDs,
issuer interface, resource lists, OpenSSL status)

Frontend: fetchJSON now returns empty object on 204 instead of failing
to parse empty body — fixes silent delete failures across all entities.
Added onError callbacks to owner/team delete mutations to surface errors.
Backend: owner and issuer delete handlers return 409 Conflict with
descriptive messages when FK constraints block deletion, instead of
generic 500.
Added 15 v2 dashboard screenshots, updated README screenshot section,
logo asset, page count references (18→full), and QA guide with FK
constraint test coverage.

Consolidated two overlapping docs into one cohesive guide framed around
the 47-day certificate lifespan reduction. Covers setup, dashboard
walkthrough, API exploration, cert creation, discovery, CLI, MCP, demo
data reference, and a 10-step stakeholder presentation flow.
Removed demo-guide.md and updated all cross-references in README,
compliance-pci-dss.md, and testing-guide.md.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
CLI syntax corrected across 5 files (concepts, demo-guide, demo-advanced,
architecture, features): list-certs→certs list, get-cert→certs get, etc.
Removed non-existent health/metrics commands, replaced with status.
Subcommand count 10→12 everywhere.
architecture.md: Go 1.22→1.25, endpoint count 91→93, ER diagram expanded
from 15 to 21 tables (added renewal_policies, certificate_revocations,
discovered_certificates, discovery_scans, network_scan_targets).
connectors.md: added GenerateCRL and SignOCSPResponse to issuer interface,
added Email and Webhook rows to notifier config table.
compliance docs: fixed keygen warning messages to match actual log output,
CERTCTL_STEPCA_PROVISIONER_KEY→CERTCTL_STEPCA_KEY_PATH, openssl genrsa→
crypto/ecdsa.GenerateKey, CERTCTL_SERVER_ADDR→CERTCTL_SERVER_HOST+PORT.

V2 audit found 3 critical number mismatches propagated across 8 files:
- Table count was 19 everywhere but actual migrations create 21 tables
- MCP tool count was 76 but tools.go registers 78 (M21/M22 additions)
- README MCP breakdown claimed 83 tools with math summing to 90
- architecture.md still had stale 860+ test count
- features.md OpenAPI claim said 93 ops but spec has 78
- mcp.md tool-per-domain table had wrong counts in 10 of 16 rows
- Added 3 network_scan_targets to seed_demo.sql for demo completeness
- Added curl examples to Agent Groups section in features.md

Removes redeclared containsSubstring from network_scan_test.go (already
defined in profile_test.go in the same package). Updates README with 91
endpoints, 19 tables, network discovery API section, Prometheus endpoint,
and M21/M22 roadmap entries.

Add SOC 2 Type II, PCI-DSS 4.0, and NIST SP 800-57 compliance mapping
guides — the final V2 deliverable. All claims verified against actual
codebase (router.go, config.go, main.go). Also audit and update all
existing docs: fix endpoint/tool/test counts in features.md, expand
demo-guide.md and demo-advanced.md with CLI/MCP/discovery coverage,
update connectors.md F5/IIS status to V3 paid, add compliance reference
to architecture.md.

Separate standalone binary (cmd/mcp-server/) using official MCP Go SDK
(modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk v1.4.1) with stdio transport. Stateless HTTP
proxy translates MCP tool calls to certctl REST API requests. 76 tools
across 16 resource domains with typed input structs and jsonschema tags
for automatic LLM-friendly schema generation.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Generate api/openapi.yaml from handler and domain source code. Covers
all 76 endpoints under /api/v1/ plus /health and /ready (78 total).
Includes full request/response schemas, domain model definitions,
enum types (CertificateStatus, JobType, RevocationReason, etc.),
reusable pagination envelope, error responses, and common parameters.
This spec serves as the contract for the upcoming MCP server (M18a)
and enables Swagger/Redocly interactive documentation immediately.

Bulk certificate operations: multi-select checkboxes on certificates list with
bulk action bar for triggering renewal, revocation (with RFC 5280 reason modal
and progress bar), and owner reassignment across selected certificates.
Deployment status timeline: visual 4-step lifecycle pipeline (Requested → Issued
→ Deploying → Active) on certificate detail page, powered by per-cert job queries
with animated status indicators for active steps and failure states.
Inline policy editor: edit/save/cancel interface on certificate detail page for
changing renewal policy and certificate profile assignments via dropdown selectors
with lazy-loaded policy and profile lists.
Target connector configuration wizard: 3-step modal (Select Type → Configure →
Review) with type-specific configuration fields for NGINX, Apache, HAProxy, F5
BIG-IP, and IIS targets including required field validation.
Audit trail export: CSV and JSON download buttons on audit page with applied
filters preserved in export. Added action filter input for narrower searches.
Short-lived credentials dashboard: new page at /short-lived showing ephemeral
certificates (profile TTL < 1 hour) with live TTL countdown, auto-refresh every
10 seconds, profile lookup, and stats bar (active/expired/profiles).
DataTable enhanced with optional selectable/selectedKeys/onSelectionChange props
for checkbox multi-select with select-all toggle and row highlighting.
Frontend tests expanded from 53 to 79: full API client endpoint coverage for
profiles, owners, teams, agent groups, revocation, approval/rejection, policy
violations, and issuer creation.

Backend:
- Embedded OCSP responder: GET /api/v1/ocsp/{issuer_id}/{serial} returns
signed OCSP responses (good/revoked/unknown) using CA key
- DER-encoded X.509 CRL: GET /api/v1/crl/{issuer_id} returns proper DER CRL
signed by issuing CA with 24h validity window
- Short-lived cert exemption: certs with profile TTL < 1 hour skip CRL/OCSP
(expiry is sufficient revocation for ephemeral workloads)
- Extended issuer connector interface with GenerateCRL and SignOCSPResponse
- Local CA implements full CRL/OCSP signing; ACME and step-ca return
appropriate "use native endpoint" errors
- IssuerConnectorAdapter bridges new methods between layers
Frontend:
- Revoke button on certificate detail page with RFC 5280 reason modal
- Revocation banner with reason display and timestamp
- Revocation status indicators in lifecycle section
- "Revoked" filter option in certificates list
- API client: revokeCertificate() function and Certificate type extensions
Tests: ~31 new tests across connector, service, handler, and adapter layers
Docs: milestones renumbered (M13-M14, M16-M18), M15b marked complete
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Strip explicit V2/V3 version labels from planned features in README,
architecture, connectors, and demo docs. F5/IIS now say "interface only"
and "implementation planned" without version targets. DigiCert and other
future issuers say "planned" without version numbers. Keeps completed
milestones detailed (social proof) while keeping future work abstract.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Trim V2 roadmap to free-tier features only (GUI operations, CLI, notifiers,
Prometheus metrics, OCSP, MCP server, filesystem discovery). Move enterprise
features to V3 with deliberately vague descriptions. Remove specific version
references for F5/IIS implementations and SSE/WebSocket from docs. Add
roadmap.md to gitignore for private strategy tracking.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Update test counts (525+ → 600+), table counts (17 → 18), endpoint
counts (68 → 70), add revocation/CRL endpoints to API overview, add
certificate_revocations table to schema docs, update M15 roadmap to
show M15a complete and M15b remaining.
