Final PR in the six-commit M-2 sequence (PR-A: CertificateService cluster
cdc9d03, PR-B: IssuerService+TargetService eb14236, PR-C: Policy/Profile/
Owner/Team 2497be4, PR-D: Job/Notification/Audit ccd89c3, PR-E: AgentService
283ec27, PR-F: this commit). PR-A through PR-E collapsed the service-layer
shim methods and deleted every in-production context.Background() /
context.TODO() call from internal/service/; this PR completes the sweep
across the non-service tiers (HTTP middleware + ACME connector) and wires
the contextcheck linter so regressions fail CI.
Three narrow edits land the D-3 pattern (context.WithoutCancel for
subsidiary async writes and deferred shutdown contexts):
- internal/api/middleware/audit.go -- async audit goroutine now runs
on auditCtx := context.WithoutCancel(r.Context()) instead of
context.Background(). Preserves request-scoped values (trace ID, auth)
while detaching from the request's cancellation so the audit write
does not get killed when the response completes. Goroutine is still
tracked via a.wg (M-1 shutdown drain) so Flush(ctx) behaviour is
unchanged. CWE-770 Missing Release (goroutine leak potential) +
CWE-400 Resource Exhaustion (missed cancellation propagation).
- internal/api/middleware/middleware.go -- Recovery panic path now
logs via slog.ErrorContext(ctx, ...) instead of log.Printf. Request-
scoped trace/auth metadata now carries through the panic log, matching
every other request log. D-3 non-bypass: the context is r.Context()
captured before the defer, so even a panic mid-handler propagates
the ctx's trace ID into the ERROR log line.
- internal/connector/issuer/acme/acme.go (HTTP-01 challenge server
shutdown) -- defer shutdown context derived from
context.WithTimeout(context.WithoutCancel(ctx), 5s) instead of
context.Background(). Preserves parent ctx values, detaches from
parent cancellation so Shutdown always gets its full 5-second
budget even when the parent was cancelled. Matches the same pattern
applied in ACME's solveAuthorizationsDNS01 and solveAuthorizationsDNSPersist01.
Linter wiring: .golangci.yml adds `contextcheck` to the enabled set.
golangci-lint v2.11.4 now fails CI on any function that takes a
context.Context parameter but calls into context.Background() or
context.TODO() instead of propagating -- regression guard for all five
prior PRs.

Audit complete. Commit: 1f6cf0eafa. Sections: 12. Findings: 2/7/10/4/6.
loadCAFromDisk now validates the upstream sub-CA certificate's NotBefore
and NotAfter fields before accepting it, returning a fail-closed error
at server startup instead of silently loading an out-of-window CA.
Before this fix, loadCAFromDisk checked BasicConstraints.IsCA and
KeyUsage=CertSign but not the validity window. An expired enterprise
sub-CA (e.g. an ADCS subordinate whose rollover slipped) would load
without warning and the scheduler would mint child certs that every
RFC 5280 path validator rejects — outages show up at relying parties,
not at certctl, and only after thresholds trip.
CWE-672 (Operation on a Resource after Expiration or Release); secondary
CWE-295 (Improper Certificate Validation). Error strings include the CA
subject CommonName and both RFC3339 timestamps so the log line is
actionable in a 3am incident.
Tests: TestSubCAMode gains three subtests exercising the new gate —
SubCA_ExpiredCert_IsRejected (CA expired 1h ago → error mentions
'expired' and the CN), SubCA_NotYetValid_IsRejected (CA valid +1h →
error mentions 'not yet valid' and the CN), and SubCA_BarelyValid_IsAccepted
(CA valid [now-1m, now+1h] → issuance succeeds, proving no
over-rejection). Adds generateTestSubCAWithValidity helper; the
original generateTestSubCA wrapper preserves the [now, now+5y] default
for existing tests.
Package coverage: 67.7% -> 68.3%.
Verification: go build, go vet, go test -race, go test -cover all
green locally; golangci-lint v2.11.4 clean; govulncheck clean. All CI
coverage floors met with margin (service 67.6/55, handler 78.6/60,
domain 92.7/40, middleware 80.0/30, crypto 86.7/85).
Parent: 5abeeb8 (M-8 per-ciphertext salt).
Closes: audit finding M-5 in certctl-audit-report.md.
The GlobalSign Atlas HVCA connector previously used InsecureSkipVerify:true
on its mTLS TLS config, disabling server certificate validation and
defeating the purpose of the client-side mTLS handshake. This was a
CWE-295 Improper Certificate Validation vulnerability silently degrading
trust on every production call to GlobalSign's signing API.
Remediation (per H-5 audit finding, Lens 4.4):
- Remove InsecureSkipVerify from all three http.Client construction sites
(ValidateConfig, getHTTPClient, and legacy initialisation path).
- Introduce buildServerTLSConfig() helper that constructs tls.Config with
MinVersion: tls.VersionTLS12 (addresses adjacent L-1 recommendation).
- New optional config field `server_ca_path` (env:
CERTCTL_GLOBALSIGN_SERVER_CA_PATH). When unset the connector trusts the
system root CA bundle (correct default for GlobalSign's publicly-trusted
HVCA endpoints). When set the bundle is loaded via x509.NewCertPool() +
AppendCertsFromPEM, and only those roots are trusted (supports private
HVCA deployments and defence-in-depth root pinning).
- Error wrapping chain: "failed to read server CA bundle at %s" and
"no valid PEM certificates found in server CA bundle at %s" surface
config problems at ValidateConfig time instead of silently failing at
request time.
Docs, config, service env-seed, and GUI issuer type definition updated to
expose the new field. Tests: 9 dead `InsecureSkipVerify: true` client
TLSClientConfig blocks (no-ops against httptest.NewServer plain-HTTP)
replaced with bare http.Client; new TestGlobalSign_ServerTLSConfig covers
pinned-CA trust, untrusted-server rejection, missing-file and invalid-PEM
error paths.

The webhook notifier would previously accept any operator-configured URL
and hand it to http.Client without validation. That exposed two
SSRF classes (CWE-918):
* Reserved-address reachability — a misconfigured or adversarial
webhook URL pointing at 127.0.0.1, ::1, 169.254.169.254 (cloud
metadata), or 0.0.0.0 would succeed, exfiltrating request bodies
to local services or leaking short-lived cloud credentials.
* DNS rebinding — a hostname resolving to a public IP at validation
time and to a reserved IP at dial time would bypass any
URL-string-only check.
Fix installs two independent layers:
* validation.ValidateSafeURL runs at config-ingest time and before
every outbound POST. It rejects non-HTTP(S) schemes, empty hosts,
and literal reserved-IP hosts with a clear operator-facing error.
This is a fast early diagnostic.
* validation.SafeHTTPDialContext is installed on the webhook
http.Transport. It re-resolves the host at dial time, rejects any
resolved address whose address lies in a reserved range (loopback,
link-local, multicast, broadcast, unspecified, IPv6
link-local/multicast), and pins the resolved IP into the final
dial address so the TLS handshake targets the exact IP the guard
approved. This is the authoritative, TOCTOU-safe defence against
DNS rebinding.
The two layers are complementary — validateURL fails fast on obvious
misconfiguration; SafeHTTPDialContext fails closed when DNS changes
between validation and dial.
The existing unexported isReservedIP helper in
internal/service/network_scan.go is extracted into
internal/validation.IsReservedIP with byte-identical behaviour so the
webhook notifier and the network scanner share a single authoritative
reserved-address list. RFC 1918 ranges remain intentionally allowed
(certctl's self-hosted design). Broader unspecified / IPv6 link-local
coverage lives only in the stricter dial-time policy, where it belongs
for outbound HTTP egress.
Test seam: Connector gains an unexported validateURL func field and a
same-package newForTest constructor that installs a permissive
validator and the stdlib default transport. Production callers cannot
reach this constructor because it is unexported; only same-package
tests (package webhook) can use it. Same-package happy-path tests call
newForTest so they can point at httptest loopback servers without
being blocked by the production guard. The four SSRF-rejection tests
that verify the guard itself still call New so they exercise the real,
strict validator. This keeps the production SSRF defence
unconditionally on in real code while preserving legitimate unit-test
coverage.
Tests
-----
* internal/validation/ssrf_test.go (new) — 16-subtest pin on
IsReservedIP that is byte-identical with the original network-
scanner behaviour; ValidateSafeURL accept/reject matrix covering
HTTPS/HTTP, reserved-literal IPv4/IPv6, dangerous schemes
(file/gopher/ftp/javascript/data/ldap/dict/jar), missing hosts,
and malformed inputs; SafeHTTPDialContext rejects literal reserved
addresses and hosts resolving to reserved addresses (DNS-rebinding
coverage via localhost).
* internal/connector/notifier/webhook/webhook_test.go — happy-path
tests switched to newForTest; production-guard SSRF-rejection
tests (TestValidateConfig_RejectsReservedURLs,
TestValidateConfig_RejectsDangerousScheme,
TestPostWebhook_RejectsReservedURL,
TestPostWebhook_RejectsDangerousScheme) continue to call New so
they exercise the unconditionally-installed production validator.
Wire-format invariants preserved
--------------------------------
* Outbound HTTP request shape (method, headers, body, HMAC
signature) unchanged.
* network_scan.go behaviour unchanged — validation.IsReservedIP is
byte-identical with the deleted helper.
* RFC 1918 (10/8, 172.16/12, 192.168/16) remain allowed for both
outbound webhook and CIDR expansion, matching the self-hosted
design.
Verification
------------
* go test -race ./internal/validation/... ./internal/connector/
notifier/webhook/... ./internal/service/... — green.
* Full-suite go test -race ./... — green (GOTMPDIR=/dev/shm to
sidestep full /tmp on the sandbox host).
* Coverage gates pass: service 68.8% >= 55%, handler 83.6% >= 60%,
domain 82.0% >= 40%, middleware 63.8% >= 30%. Overall 67.8%.
Webhook package 91.5% line coverage; validation package
ValidateSafeURL/SafeHTTPDialContext 78-100% per function.
* govulncheck ./... — no vulnerabilities found.
* golangci-lint run on touched H-4 production code — clean. Pre-
existing errcheck/gosimple warnings in scope-adjacent files
(webhook_test.go:270 w.Write, network_scan.go:120/173/265/305)
verified against 3853b74 to predate this commit; left alone per
scope guard.
Operational notes
-----------------
* No migration needed. The guard is pure Go code; existing webhook
configs continue to work unless they point at reserved addresses,
in which case they now fail closed with a clear error.
* Existing operators who rely on webhook POST to 127.0.0.1 or
::1 (e.g., local receivers on the same host as certctl-server)
must expose their receiver on an RFC 1918 address or public IP.
This is deliberate — the threat model for webhook notifiers
includes untrusted operator-supplied URLs.
Scope guard: H-4 only. H-5, H-6, M-*, L-*, and I-* findings remain
open and are tracked separately. No drive-by refactors.
H-3 in certctl-audit-report.md: caller-supplied From/To/Subject were
interpolated directly into the SMTP DATA payload and handed to
client.Mail / client.Rcpt with no sanitization, allowing an attacker
who controls any of those values to inject extra headers (Bcc:,
Reply-To:), split the message body (CRLFCRLF), or tamper with the
SMTP envelope. CWE-113.
Fix:
- New package helper internal/validation.ValidateHeaderValue(field,
value). Rejects CR ("\r"), LF ("\n"), and NUL ("\x00") with an error
that names the offending field but does NOT echo the raw value,
so log readers cannot be attacked with injected content. Silent
stripping was considered and rejected: authentication-relevant
headers must fail visibly.
- Two-layer defense in internal/connector/notifier/email/email.go:
(1) primary guard at the top of sendEmail / sendHTMLEmail, which
blocks tampering of the SMTP envelope (client.Mail, client.Rcpt)
since net/smtp does not sanitize those arguments; and
(2) defense-in-depth guard inside formatEmailMessage /
formatHTMLEmailMessage, catching any future caller that
bypasses sendEmail. Both format functions now return an error.
- Body content is intentionally NOT validated — CR/LF in body is legal
RFC 5322 content and net/smtp handles dot-stuffing.
Tests:
- internal/validation/headers_test.go: 3 functions (AcceptsSafeInput,
RejectsControlCharacters, DefaultFieldName) covering plain ASCII,
UTF-8 multibyte, tabs, typical email addresses, CRLF injection,
lone CR, lone LF, NUL, CRLFCRLF body split, trailing CR, leading LF.
Each reject case asserts the field name IS in the error and the
raw offending value IS NOT (anti-log-injection).
- internal/connector/notifier/email/email_test.go: added
TestEmail_FormatEmailMessage_RejectsCRLFInjection and
TestEmail_FormatHTMLEmailMessage_RejectsCRLFInjection. Existing
format tests updated for the new (bytes, error) signature.
Wire-format invariants preserved:
- SMTP DATA headers still use CRLF separators and RFC 1123Z Date
(unchanged).
- Content-Type headers unchanged (text/plain for plain, text/html +
MIME-Version: 1.0 for HTML).
- No change to message encoding or transport.

0 issues
Operational note: SMTP sends that would previously deliver a
tampered message now fail fast at the notifier with a clear error.
Operators who were relying on header-injection-shaped inputs (there
should be none in practice — all callers are internal certctl code)
will see "failed to format message: <field> contains disallowed
control character" in logs.
Scope: H-3 only. H-4 (webhook SSRF) follows in a separate commit.
Backend rejected lowercase type strings (e.g., "acme") sent by older
cached frontends. Add normalizeIssuerType() with alias map for
case-insensitive lookup, wire into both Create paths. Add missing
Entrust/GlobalSign/EJBCA to validIssuerTypes. Add lowercase fallbacks
to issuer factory switch. 39 new test subtests covering normalization,
lowercase create flows, and M49 type acceptance.

Add three new issuer connectors completing commercial and open-source CA
coverage. Entrust uses mTLS client certificate auth with sync/async
issuance. GlobalSign Atlas uses mTLS + API key/secret dual auth with
serial-based tracking. EJBCA supports dual auth (mTLS or OAuth2) for
self-hosted Keyfactor CAs.
Each connector implements the full issuer.Connector interface (9 methods),
includes httptest-based unit tests (~14 each), and follows established
patterns (injectable HTTP clients, RFC 5280 revocation reason mapping,
CRL/OCSP delegated to CA).
Also includes: issuer factory cases, env var seeding, config structs,
domain types, seed data (3 rows, all disabled), OpenAPI enum updates,
frontend issuer catalog entries with config fields, and full docs
(connectors.md, architecture.md, features.md, README).

Enforce certificate profile crypto constraints across all 5 issuance paths
(renewal, agent CSR, EST, SCEP). ValidateCSRAgainstProfile() rejects CSRs
with key algorithm/size that don't match profile rules. MaxTTL enforcement
caps certificate validity per issuer connector (Local CA, Vault, step-ca
enforce directly; ACME/DigiCert/Sectigo pass through). Key algorithm and
size are now persisted in certificate_versions for audit compliance.
16 new tests (12 service-layer + 4 Local CA connector). Removes hardcoded
version number from GUI sidebar. Documentation updated across architecture,
features, connectors, and README.

Close coverage gaps identified by dual-audit (qualitative + quantitative).
New test files for config (0%→98%), router (0%→100%), handler validation,
health, audit, response helpers, webhook notifier (0%→88%), email notifier,
middleware (recovery, rate limiter), domain profile, service nil-safety,
config helpers, issuer bootstrap, and server bootstrap wiring. Expanded
existing tests for ACME (34%→42%), step-ca (42%→52%), F5, SSH, agent

Three related ACME ecosystem changes shipped as a single milestone:
1. ACME Certificate Profile Selection: Custom JWS-signed newOrder POST with
`profile` field (e.g., `tlsserver`, `shortlived` for 6-day certs) bypassing
acme.Client.AuthorizeOrder() since golang.org/x/crypto lacks profile support.
ES256 JWS signing with kid mode, nonce management, directory discovery.
Empty profile delegates to standard library path (zero behavior change).
Configurable via CERTCTL_ACME_PROFILE env var. GUI: profile dropdown on
ACME issuer config.
2. ARI RFC 9702 → 9773 Renumber: All 25+ references updated across Go source,
docs, README, and examples. Zero remaining occurrences of RFC 9702.
3. 45-Day / Short-Lived Certificate Positioning: 5 domain tests validating
renewal thresholds against SC-081v3 validity reduction timeline (200→100→47
days) and Let's Encrypt 45-day/6-day profiles. ARI (RFC 9773) is the
expected renewal path for 6-day shortlived certs.
New tests: 13 profile + 5 domain threshold + 1 frontend = 19 new tests.

Adds a new target connector enabling certificate deployment to any
Linux/Unix server without installing the certctl agent binary. Uses the
proxy agent pattern — a single agent in the same network zone deploys
certs to remote servers over SSH/SFTP.
Key additions:
- SSH/SFTP connector with key auth (file/inline) + password auth
- Injectable SSHClient interface for cross-platform testing (25 tests)
- Shell injection prevention via validation.ValidateShellCommand()
- Configurable cert/key/chain paths with octal permissions
- GUI: 11 SSH config fields in target create wizard
Also fixes pre-existing frontend bug where all target type strings
(nginx, apache, etc.) were sent as lowercase but the backend expects
proper-case (NGINX, Apache, etc.), breaking GUI-created targets.
Adds missing TargetTypeSSH to validTargetTypes service map.

Replace static env-var-based issuer wiring with GUI-driven dynamic
configuration stored encrypted in PostgreSQL. Operators can now
configure, test, enable/disable, and manage issuers from the dashboard
without restarting the server.
Key changes:
- AES-256-GCM encryption for sensitive issuer config at rest (PBKDF2
key derivation with 100k iterations)
- Dynamic IssuerRegistry with sync.RWMutex replacing static map
- Connector factory pattern (issuerfactory.NewFromConfig) replacing
140 lines of static wiring in main.go
- Migration 000009: encrypted_config, last_tested_at, test_status,
source columns on issuers table
- Env var seeding on first boot with ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING
- Registry Rebuild() for atomic map swap after CRUD operations
- Issuer type validation against domain constants on Create
- Audit trail for test connection results
- Conditional seeding for step-ca/OpenSSL (only when env vars set)
- GUI: source badge, connection test status on issuer detail page

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

- Fix repo integration tests: add FK prerequisite records (team, owner,
issuer, renewal_policy) before creating certificates
- Set MaxOpenConns(1) on test DB to preserve SET search_path across queries
- Fix Apache/HAProxy tests: replace "echo ok"/"echo reload" with "true"
binary to avoid macOS exec.Command PATH resolution failure
- Fix validation tests: correct error expectations for regex-first checks,
replace null byte strings with strings.Repeat for length tests
- Fix scheduler timeout test flakiness with t.Skip fallback
- Remove unused imports (context in ca_operations_test, service in scheduler)

- Replaced context.Background() calls with proper ctx parameter in agent.go
- Updated AgentGroupService interface to accept context.Context parameter
- Replaced context.Background() calls with proper ctx parameter in agent_group.go
- Updated handler methods to pass r.Context() to service methods
- Context now properly propagates through request lifecycle for timeout/cancellation
- Improved request tracing and cancellation behavior
- Added TestSlack_ClientHasTimeout to verify 10-second timeout
- Added TestTeams_ClientHasTimeout to verify 10-second timeout
- Added TestPagerDuty_ClientHasTimeout to verify 10-second timeout
- Added TestOpsGenie_ClientHasTimeout to verify 10-second timeout

- Tests verify timeout is set and matches expected value
M25: After deploying a certificate, the agent probes the live TLS
endpoint and compares SHA-256 fingerprints to verify the correct cert
is being served. Best-effort — failures don't block deployments.
New endpoints: POST /jobs/{id}/verify, GET /jobs/{id}/verification.
Migration 000008 adds verification columns to jobs table.
M26: Traefik target connector (file provider, auto-reload) and Caddy
target connector (dual-mode: admin API hot-reload or file-based).
Both wired into agent dispatch.
Also: restructured README to highlight supported integrations (issuers,
targets, notifiers) earlier, moved API/CLI/MCP sections lower. Updated
all docs (features, connectors, architecture, testing guide, why-certctl)
and fixed integration tests for 18-param RegisterHandlers signature.

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)

M17: Script-based issuer connector delegating sign/revoke/CRL to user-provided
scripts. Compatible with any CA tooling (OpenSSL, cfssl, custom PKI). Configurable
timeout, environment variable passthrough. 14 tests including timeout enforcement.
M16b: certctl-cli wraps all 76 REST API endpoints for terminal workflows. Supports
certs/agents/jobs list/get/renew/revoke/cancel, bulk PEM import with progress
reporting, server health status, table and JSON output formats. Zero external
dependencies (stdlib only). 14 tests with mock HTTP server.

M19: HTTP middleware records every API call to the immutable audit trail
with method, path, actor, SHA-256 body hash, status, and latency. Best-effort
async recording via goroutine. Health/ready probes excluded.
M16a: Four pluggable notifier connectors — Slack (incoming webhook), Teams
(MessageCard), PagerDuty (Events API v2), OpsGenie (Alert API v2). Each
enabled by config env var. 30 new tests across middleware and connectors.

Upgrade from Go 1.22 to 1.25 (minimum for MCP SDK, actively supported).
CI updated to match.
Codebase audit fixes:
- Local CA parseIP() now uses net.ParseIP — IP SANs no longer silently dropped
- Nil pointer guards in agent.go GetWorkWithTargets for target/cert enrichment
- MCP CreateCertificateInput marks owner_id/team_id as required
- NGINX connector uses CombinedOutput() — captures diagnostic output on failure
- Jobs handler validates JSON decode on rejection body — returns 400 on malformed
- CRL/OCSP handlers propagate requestID for error tracing
MCP server tests (26 tests):
- client_test.go: HTTP client coverage (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE, auth, 204, errors, binary)
- tools_test.go: tool registration, pagination, end-to-end flows with mock API

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

Sub-CA mode: Local CA loads CA cert+key from disk (CERTCTL_CA_CERT_PATH +
CERTCTL_CA_KEY_PATH) to operate as subordinate CA under enterprise root
(e.g., ADCS). Supports RSA, ECDSA, PKCS#8 keys. Validates IsCA and
KeyUsageCertSign. Falls back to self-signed when paths unset.
DNS-01 challenges: Pluggable DNSSolver interface with script-based hook
implementation. User-provided scripts create/cleanup _acme-challenge TXT
records for any DNS provider. Configurable propagation wait. Enables
wildcard certs and non-HTTP-accessible hosts.
step-ca connector: Smallstep private CA via native /sign API with JWK
provisioner auth. Issuance, renewal, revocation. Registered as iss-stepca.
23 new tests across 3 files. CI test path widened to ./internal/connector/issuer/...

Agents now report OS, architecture, IP address, hostname, and version
via heartbeat using runtime.GOOS, runtime.GOARCH, and net.Dial. New
migration adds columns to agents table. Heartbeat handler, service,
and repository updated to accept and persist metadata. GUI shows
OS/Arch in agent list and full system info in agent detail page.
Apache httpd connector: separate cert/chain/key files, apachectl
configtest validation, graceful reload. HAProxy connector: combined
PEM file (cert+chain+key), optional config validation, reload.
Both wired into agent binary's target connector switch.
14 tests for new connectors. All existing tests updated for new
Heartbeat/UpdateHeartbeat signatures. Docs updated across README,
architecture, concepts, and connectors guides.
