Addresses Medium finding M-4 in the audit report. The multi-stage
Dockerfiles previously had no ARG declarations for HTTP_PROXY,
HTTPS_PROXY, or NO_PROXY, so corporate-proxy environments silently
failed at 'npm ci' (frontend stage) and 'go mod download' (Go builder).
The npm retry idiom (`npm ci --include=dev || npm ci --include=dev`)
masked the failure because the upstream 'Exit handler never called!'
bug exits 0 despite the install crash.
Fix: thread HTTP_PROXY / HTTPS_PROXY / NO_PROXY ARGs through every
Docker build stage that performs network I/O, re-export them as ENV
with both upper- and lower-case aliases (apk/curl/npm read lowercase;
Go/Node read uppercase), and forward the host shell's environment via
`build.args:` in every compose file and `build-args:` in the release
workflow's docker/build-push-action steps. Defaults are empty strings
so un-proxied builds remain byte-identical to the pre-fix tree.
Scope: Dockerfile (frontend + Go builder stages), Dockerfile.agent
(Go builder stage), deploy/docker-compose.yml (server + agent),
deploy/docker-compose.dev.yml (server + agent), deploy/docker-compose.test.yml
(server + agent), .github/workflows/release.yml (both docker/build-push-action
v6 invocations). Zero Go, web, test, or runtime code changes. Zero
base-image changes. Existing npm `||` retry idiom and `ARG TARGETARCH`
preserved verbatim.
CWE-1173 (Improper Use of Validated Input) / CWE-16 (Configuration).
Verification:
- YAML parses clean across all four compose files and release.yml.
- yamllint -d relaxed: clean exit across all five YAML files.
- All six `build.args:` blocks expose HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, NO_PROXY
with default-empty ${VAR:-} substitution.
- Both release.yml docker/build-push-action steps expose the same
three keys sourced from ${{ secrets.HTTP_PROXY }}, etc.
- Dockerfiles contain 5 proxy ARG declarations total (Dockerfile has 2
stages × 3 ARGs = 6 lines, Dockerfile.agent has 1 stage × 3 ARGs = 3
lines); lowercase ENV aliases verified present in every stage.
- git diff --shortstat: 6 files changed, 117 insertions(+), 0 deletions.
Pure additive.
Docker-live verification (`docker build`, `docker compose config`)
deferred to CI / post-commit smoke because the sandbox has no Docker
runtime. hadolint, go, golangci-lint, govulncheck likewise unavailable
in the sandbox; per-layer CI coverage gates (service 55%, handler 60%,
domain 40%, middleware 30%) are trivially unaffected as M-4 touches
zero Go source files.

- New deploy/ENVIRONMENTS.md: comprehensive walkthrough of all 4 compose
files with service-by-service explanations, beginner-friendly Docker
concepts, and expert-level networking/config details
- Fix docker-compose.dev.yml: agent LOG_LEVEL → CERTCTL_LOG_LEVEL (was
silently ignored without the CERTCTL_ prefix)
- Add CERTCTL_CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY to base and test compose (enables
M34/M35 dynamic issuer/target config encryption)
- Add CERTCTL_DISCOVERY_DIRS to base compose agent (enables filesystem
certificate discovery in default deployment)
- Cross-link ENVIRONMENTS.md from README doc table and quickstart.md

4-step wizard (Connect CA → Deploy Agent → Add Certificate → Done) shown
on fresh installs when no user-configured issuers or certificates exist.
Auto-seeded env var issuers (source="env") are excluded from first-run
detection. Wizard state latches to prevent query refetches from dismissing
it mid-flow. Split docker-compose into clean default (wizard-compatible)
and demo override (seed_demo.sql). Added missing migrations 000009/000010
to test compose.

- testClient HTTP helper with Bearer auth
- testDB PostgreSQL helper (port 5432 now exposed)
- waitFor/waitForJobsDone polling helpers
- crypto/x509 for EKU, KeyUsage, SAN verification
- crypto/tls for NGINX deployment verification
- //go:build integration tag (not in CI yet)

Fixes 12 production bugs preventing the full issuance→deployment flow
from working with ACME (Pebble/Let's Encrypt) and step-ca issuers:
ACME connector (acme.go):
- Save orderURI before WaitOrder overwrites it (Go crypto/acme bug)
- Add CreateOrderCert fallback via WaitOrder+FetchCert
- Remove defer-reset in ValidateConfig that caused nil pointer panic
- Add Insecure TLS option for self-signed ACME servers (Pebble)
step-ca connector (stepca.go, jwe.go):
- Real JWE provisioner key loading + decryption (was using ephemeral keys)
- Fix JWT audience (/1.0/sign), sha claim (key fingerprint), kid header
- Custom root CA trust via RootCertPath config
- Remove hardcoded 90-day validity default (let step-ca decide)
NGINX target connector (nginx.go):
- Use sh -c for validate/reload commands (shell interpretation)
- Use filepath.Dir instead of fragile string slicing
- Add private key file writing (agent-mode keys were never deployed)
- Make chain_path write conditional
Server/service layer:
- TriggerRenewalWithActor now creates actual Job records (was no-op)
- createDeploymentJobs falls back to DB query when cert.TargetIDs empty
- ProcessPendingJobs skips agent-routed deployment jobs
- Agent cert pickup path parsing: len(parts)<4 → len(parts)<3
- Health/ready/auth-info endpoints bypass auth middleware
- Write timeout 15s→120s for ACME issuance
- Cert fingerprint computed on CSR submission
Integration test environment (deploy/test/):
- 10-phase test script covering Local CA, ACME, step-ca, revocation,
discovery, renewal, and API spot checks
- Docker Compose with 7 containers (server, agent, postgres, nginx,
pebble, challtestsrv, step-ca) on isolated network
- TLS verification checks SAN (not just Subject CN) for modern CA compat

Default to "changeme" so helm lint and helm template pass with stock
values. Operators override at install time via --set.

- Use gt (int .Values.server.replicas) 1 to avoid incompatible type
comparison between YAML integer and template literal
- Remove fail directive for empty apiKey — lint runs with defaults,
operators set the key via --set at install time

- Use type conversion DigestStatusCount(c) instead of struct literal
- Replace with...else-if (invalid in Go templates) with if...else-if chain
- Add *.bak and cmd/agent/*.key/*.pem to .gitignore

Three bugs fixed:
- Docker Compose only mounted migration 000001; migrations 000002-000007
(profiles, agent groups, revocation, discovery, network scans) never ran,
breaking half the demo features. Now mounts all 7 migrations in order.
- Network Scans page crashed with pq.Array scan error because lib/pq
doesn't support []int, only []int64. Changed Ports field accordingly.
- Dashboard pie chart displayed "RenewalInProgress" without spaces.
Added formatStatus() helper for PascalCase → spaced display.
Also adds first-run demo experience improvements:
- 9 discovered certificates (filesystem + network scan mix)
- 3 discovery scans with recent timestamps
- 2 AwaitingApproval renewal jobs for approval workflow demo
- CERTCTL_NETWORK_SCAN_ENABLED=true in Docker Compose
- Network scan targets seeded with last_scan results
- Version badge updated to v2.0.5
- Docs updated (quickstart, advanced demo) to reference seeded data

- POSTGRES_PASSWORD and CERTCTL_API_KEY read from .env file
- Added deploy/.env.example with documentation
- Agent key volume (agent_keys) for key persistence across restarts
- Agent healthcheck via pgrep
- Resource limits: server 1CPU/512M, agent 0.5CPU/256M

Private keys never leave agent infrastructure. Agents generate ECDSA P-256
key pairs locally, store them with 0600 permissions, and submit only the CSR
(public key) to the control plane. New AwaitingCSR job state pauses
renewal/issuance jobs until the agent submits its CSR. Server-side keygen
retained behind CERTCTL_KEYGEN_MODE=server for demo/development.
Key changes:
- Dual keygen mode via CERTCTL_KEYGEN_MODE (agent default, server for demo)
- AwaitingCSR job state with CommonName/SANs in work response
- Agent ECDSA P-256 keygen, local key storage, CSR-only submission
- CompleteAgentCSRRenewal server-side flow for agent-submitted CSRs
- DeploymentRequest.KeyPEM for agent-provided keys during deployment
- Dockerfile.agent creates /var/lib/certctl/keys with correct ownership

- Remove non-existent created_at from notification queries
- Add env var fallback for agent CLI flags
- Graceful degradation for missing notifiers/issuers in demo mode
- Copy web/ directory in Dockerfile for dashboard serving
Service layer:
- Implement handler-service interface pattern across all services
- Wire up certificate, agent, job, policy, team, owner, audit, notification services
Documentation:
- Add concepts.md: beginner-friendly guide to TLS, CAs, private keys
- Rewrite quickstart.md with accurate API examples matching actual handlers
