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: fix broken ../examples/ links across docs/ (closes #11)
Reporter (thesudoer0003) flagged that the example links in
docs/getting-started/examples.md resolve to /docs/examples/ which
does not exist. Same bug pattern shows up in four other docs files.
The example READMEs live at examples/<name>/<name>.md at the repo
root, not under docs/. The references in the docs/ tree used
relative paths like `../examples/acme-nginx/acme-nginx.md` which
resolve to docs/examples/... — one level short of escaping out to
the repo root. Fix is one extra `../` so the path resolves to
examples/... at repo root, where the files actually live.
Files touched:
docs/getting-started/examples.md 5 links
docs/getting-started/why-certctl.md 1 link
docs/migration/cert-manager-coexistence.md 1 link
docs/migration/from-acmesh.md 1 link
docs/migration/from-certbot.md 1 link
Verified: every `../../examples/<name>/<name>.md` reference now
resolves to the on-disk file. Re-checked via:
for f in $(grep -rl 'examples/' docs/); do
for link in $(grep -oE '\.\./\.\./examples/[^)]*' "$f"); do
[ -e "$(dirname "$f")/$link" ] || echo "STILL BROKEN: $f -> $link"
done
done
zero "STILL BROKEN" output.
Closes #11

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 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: 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: 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.
