 # certctl — Self-Hosted Certificate Lifecycle Platform
 
-TLS certificate lifespans are shrinking. The CA/Browser Forum passed [Ballot SC-081v3](https://cabforum.org/2025/04/11/ballot-sc081v3-introduce-schedule-of-reducing-validity-and-data-reuse-periods/) unanimously in April 2025, setting a phased reduction: **200 days** by March 2026, **100 days** by March 2027, and **47 days** by March 2029. Manual certificate management is no longer viable at any scale.

-certctl is a self-hosted platform for **end-to-end certificate lifecycle automation** — from issuance through renewal to deployment — with zero human intervention. Track every certificate in your organization, automatically renew them before they expire, and deploy them to your servers without touching a terminal. Private keys never leave your infrastructure.
+TLS certificate lifespans are shrinking fast. The CA/Browser Forum passed [Ballot SC-081v3](https://cabforum.org/2025/04/11/ballot-sc081v3-introduce-schedule-of-reducing-validity-and-data-reuse-periods/) unanimously in April 2025, setting a phased reduction: **200 days** by March 2026, **100 days** by March 2027, and **47 days** by March 2029. Organizations managing dozens or hundreds of certificates can no longer rely on spreadsheets, calendar reminders, or manual renewal workflows. The math doesn't work — at 47-day lifespans, a team managing 100 certificates is processing 7+ renewals per week, every week, forever.
+
+certctl is a self-hosted platform that automates the entire certificate lifecycle — from issuance through renewal to deployment — with zero human intervention. It works with any certificate authority, deploys to any server, and keeps private keys on your infrastructure where they belong.

+
+> **Next release:** v2.1.0 will be tagged after the full V2 feature suite passes manual QA across all 34 sections of the [testing guide](docs/testing-guide.md). Automated CI (1,471 Go tests + 193 frontend tests) gates every commit; the manual playbook covers integration, deployment, and UX verification that unit tests can't reach.
+
+## Why certctl Exists
+
+Certificate lifecycle tooling today falls into two camps: expensive enterprise platforms (Venafi, Keyfactor, Sectigo) that cost six figures and take months to deploy, or single-purpose tools (cert-manager, certbot) that handle one slice of the problem. If you run a mixed infrastructure — some NGINX, some Apache, a few HAProxy nodes, maybe an F5 — and you need to manage certificates from multiple CAs, there's nothing self-hosted that covers the full lifecycle without vendor lock-in.
+
+certctl fills that gap. It's **CA-agnostic** — the issuer connector interface means you can plug in any certificate authority: a self-signed local CA for dev, Let's Encrypt via ACME for public certs, Smallstep step-ca for your private PKI, your enterprise ADCS via sub-CA mode, or any custom CA through a shell script adapter. You're never locked to a single CA vendor, and you can run multiple issuers simultaneously for different certificate types.
+
+It's also **target-agnostic**. Agents deploy certificates to NGINX, Apache, HAProxy, Traefik, and Caddy — all using the same pluggable connector model for any server that accepts cert files. The control plane never initiates outbound connections — agents poll for work, which means certctl works behind firewalls, across network zones, and in air-gapped environments.
+
+For a detailed comparison with CertKit, KeyTalk, and enterprise platforms (Venafi, Keyfactor), see [Why certctl?](docs/why-certctl.md)
 
 ## What It Does
 
-certctl gives you a single pane of glass for every TLS certificate in your organization. The **web dashboard** shows your full certificate inventory — what's healthy, what's expiring, what's already expired, and who owns each one. The **REST API** (91 endpoints under `/api/v1/`) lets you automate everything. **Agents** deployed on your infrastructure generate private keys locally, discover existing certificates on disk, and submit CSRs — private keys never leave your servers. The **network scanner** discovers certificates on TLS endpoints across your infrastructure without requiring agents. The background scheduler watches expiration dates and triggers renewals automatically — when certificate lifespans drop to 47 days, certctl handles the constant rotation without human involvement.

+- **Web dashboard** — 22 operational pages: certificate inventory, deployment timeline with TLS verification, bulk operations (renew/revoke/reassign), discovery triage, network scan management, approval workflows, audit trail with CSV/JSON export, agent fleet overview with OS/arch grouping, short-lived credential monitoring
+- **REST API** — 95 endpoints under `/api/v1/` + `/.well-known/est/` for complete automation, with sparse fields, sort, cursor pagination, and time-range filters
+- **Agents** — generate private keys locally (ECDSA P-256), discover existing certs on disk (PEM/DER), submit CSRs only (private keys never leave your servers)
+- **Network scanner** — discovers certificates on TLS endpoints across CIDR ranges without requiring agents, concurrent scanning with configurable timeouts
+- **Certificate export** — PEM (JSON or file download) and PKCS#12 formats, with audit trail; private keys never included
+- **S/MIME + EKU support** — issue certificates with emailProtection, codeSigning, timeStamping, clientAuth EKUs; email SAN routing for S/MIME
+- **EST server** (RFC 7030) — device and WiFi certificate enrollment via industry-standard protocol
+- **Post-deployment verification** — agent-side TLS probe confirms the target serves the correct certificate by SHA-256 fingerprint match
+- **Approval workflows** — require human sign-off on renewals before deployment
+- **Background scheduler** — 6 automated loops: renewal checks, job processing, agent health, notifications, short-lived cert expiry, and network scanning

+## Supported Integrations
+
+### Certificate Issuers
+| Issuer | Status | Type |
+|--------|--------|------|
+| Local CA (self-signed + sub-CA) | Implemented | `GenericCA` |
+| ACME v2 (Let's Encrypt, Sectigo) | Implemented (HTTP-01 + DNS-01 + DNS-PERSIST-01) | `ACME` |

+**Control plane** (Go 1.25 net/http) → **PostgreSQL 16** (21 tables, TEXT primary keys) → **Agents** (key generation, CSR submission, cert deployment). Background scheduler runs 6 loops: renewal checks (1h), job processing (30s), agent health (2m), notifications (1m), short-lived cert expiry (30s), network scanning (6h).

 ### Key Design Decisions

 - **Handler → Service → Repository layering.** Handlers define their own service interfaces for clean dependency inversion. No global service singletons.
 - **Idempotent migrations.** All schema uses `IF NOT EXISTS` and seed data uses `ON CONFLICT (id) DO NOTHING`, safe for repeated execution.

 ## Roadmap
 
-### V1 (v1.0.0 released)
-All nine development milestones (M1–M9) are complete. The backend covers the full certificate lifecycle: Local CA and ACME v2 issuers, NGINX/Apache/HAProxy/F5/IIS target connectors, threshold-based expiration alerting, agent-side ECDSA P-256 key generation, API auth with rate limiting, and a React dashboard with 19 pages wired to the real API. The CI pipeline runs build, vet, test with coverage gates (service layer 30%+, handler layer 50%+), frontend type checking, Vitest test suite, and Vite production build on every push. Docker images are published to GitHub Container Registry on every version tag via the release workflow.
+### V1 (v1.0.0)
+Core lifecycle management — Local CA + ACME v2 issuers, NGINX target connector, agent-side key generation, API auth + rate limiting, React dashboard, CI pipeline with coverage gates, Docker images on GHCR.
 
 ### V2: Operational Maturity

-- **M13: GUI Operations** ✅ — bulk cert operations (multi-select → renew, revoke, reassign owner), deployment status timeline, inline policy/profile editor, target connector configuration wizard, audit trail export (CSV/JSON), short-lived credentials dashboard view
-- **M14: Observability** ✅ — dashboard charts (expiration heatmap, cert status distribution, job trends, issuance rate), agent fleet overview with OS/arch grouping, JSON metrics endpoint, stats API (5 endpoints), structured logging with request IDs, deployment rollback
-- **M18a: MCP Server** ✅ (V2.1) — AI-native integration, all 78 REST API endpoints exposed as MCP tools for Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw, and any MCP-compatible client
-- **M19: Immutable API Audit Log** ✅ — every API call recorded to immutable audit trail (method, path, actor, SHA-256 body hash, status, latency), async recording via goroutine, configurable path exclusions
-- **M16a: Notifier Connectors** ✅ — Slack (incoming webhook), Microsoft Teams (MessageCard), PagerDuty (Events API v2), OpsGenie (Alert API v2) — config-driven enablement via env vars
-- **M17: Additional Connectors** ✅ — OpenSSL/Custom CA issuer connector (script-based signing with configurable timeout)
-- **M16b: CLI + Bulk Import** ✅ — `certctl-cli` with 10 subcommands (list/get/renew/revoke certs, list agents/jobs, health, metrics, PEM bulk import), stdlib-only, JSON/table output
-- **M20: Enhanced Query API** ✅ — sparse field selection (`?fields=`), sort with direction (`?sort=-notAfter`), time-range filters (`expires_before`, `created_after`, etc.), cursor-based pagination (`?cursor=&page_size=`), `GET /certificates/{id}/deployments`, additional filters (`agent_id`, `profile_id`)
-- **M18b: Filesystem Cert Discovery** ✅ — agents scan configured directories (PEM/DER), report findings to control plane, deduplication by SHA-256 fingerprint, claim/dismiss/triage workflow via API
-- **M21: Network Cert Discovery** ✅ — server-side active TLS scanning of CIDR ranges and ports, concurrent probing (50 goroutines), CIDR expansion with /20 safety cap, sentinel agent pattern for discovery pipeline reuse, CRUD API for scan targets, scheduler integration (6h default)
-- **M22: Prometheus Metrics** ✅ — `GET /api/v1/metrics/prometheus` returns Prometheus exposition format (`text/plain; version=0.0.4`), 11 metrics with `certctl_` prefix, compatible with Prometheus, Grafana Agent, Datadog Agent, Victoria Metrics
-- **Compliance Mapping** ✅ — SOC 2 Type II, PCI-DSS 4.0, NIST SP 800-57 capability mapping documentation

 ## Overview
 
 Certctl is a certificate management platform with a **decoupled control-plane and agent architecture**. The control plane orchestrates certificate issuance and renewal, while agents deployed across your infrastructure handle key generation, certificate deployment, and local validation — private keys never leave the infrastructure they were generated on.

 The dashboard includes an **ErrorBoundary component** for graceful error recovery — if a view crashes, the boundary catches the error and displays a user-friendly message instead of breaking the entire dashboard. It also includes a **demo mode** that activates when the API is unreachable — it renders realistic mock data for screenshots and offline presentations.

 - Vite for fast builds and HMR during development
 - TanStack Query over manual fetch/useEffect for automatic cache invalidation and refetching

Graceful shutdown uses `sync.WaitGroup` with `WaitForCompletion()` to drain all in-flight work before process exit.

+### EST Server (RFC 7030)
+
+The EST (Enrollment over Secure Transport) server provides an industry-standard enrollment interface for devices that need certificates without using the REST API. It runs under `/.well-known/est/` per RFC 7030 and supports four operations: CA certificate distribution (`/cacerts`), initial enrollment (`/simpleenroll`), re-enrollment (`/simplereenroll`), and CSR attributes (`/csrattrs`).
+
+**Architecture:** EST is a handler-level protocol that delegates certificate issuance to an existing `IssuerConnector`. This means EST is not a new issuer — it's a new *interface* to the existing issuance infrastructure. The `ESTService` bridges the `ESTHandler` to whichever issuer connector is configured via `CERTCTL_EST_ISSUER_ID`.
+
+```
+Client (WiFi AP, MDM, IoT)
+    │
+    ▼
+ESTHandler (handler layer)
+    │  CSR parsing, PKCS#7 response encoding
+    ▼
+ESTService (service layer)
+    │  CSR validation, CN/SAN extraction, audit recording
+    ▼
+IssuerConnector (connector layer via IssuerConnectorAdapter)
+    │  Certificate signing (Local CA, step-ca, etc.)
+    ▼
+Signed certificate returned as PKCS#7 certs-only
+```
+
+**Wire format:** EST uses PKCS#7 (RFC 2315) certs-only degenerate SignedData for certificate responses and base64-encoded DER for CSR requests. The handler includes a hand-rolled ASN.1 PKCS#7 builder — no external PKCS#7 dependency. The CSR reader accepts both base64-encoded DER (standard EST wire format) and PEM-encoded PKCS#10 (convenience for debugging).
+
+**Interface:** The `ESTHandler` defines an `ESTService` interface (dependency inversion, same pattern as all other handlers):
+
+```go
+type ESTService interface {
+    GetCACerts(ctx context.Context) (string, error)
+    SimpleEnroll(ctx context.Context, csrPEM string) (*domain.ESTEnrollResult, error)
+    SimpleReEnroll(ctx context.Context, csrPEM string) (*domain.ESTEnrollResult, error)
+    GetCSRAttrs(ctx context.Context) ([]byte, error)
+}
+```
+
+**Issuer connector extension:** EST required adding `GetCACertPEM(ctx) (string, error)` to the issuer connector interface so the `/cacerts` endpoint can serve the CA chain. The Local CA connector returns its CA certificate PEM; ACME, step-ca, and OpenSSL connectors return errors (they don't expose a static CA chain — their chains are per-issuance).
+
+**Audit:** Every EST enrollment is recorded in the audit trail with `protocol: "EST"`, the CN, SANs, issuer ID, serial number, and optional profile ID.

 ### API Audit Log
 
-In addition to application-level audit events, certctl records every HTTP API call via middleware. The audit middleware captures method, path, actor (extracted from auth context), SHA-256 request body hash (truncated to 16 characters), response status code, and request latency. Health and readiness probes are excluded to avoid noise.
+In addition to application-level audit events, certctl records every HTTP API call via middleware. The audit middleware captures method, URL path (excluding query parameters — see security note below), actor (extracted from auth context), SHA-256 request body hash (truncated to 16 characters), response status code, and request latency. Health and readiness probes are excluded to avoid noise.
+
+**Security: Query Parameter Exclusion** — The audit middleware intentionally records `r.URL.Path` only (not `r.URL.String()` or `r.RequestURI`). Query strings may contain cursor tokens, API keys passed as params, or other sensitive filter values. Since the audit trail is append-only with no deletion capability, any sensitive data recorded would persist permanently.
 
 Audit recording is async (via goroutine) so it never blocks the HTTP response. If audit persistence fails, the error is logged immediately — the API call still succeeds. The middleware sits after the auth middleware in the stack so the actor identity is available from context.
 
+### Input Validation and SSRF Protection
+
+All shell-facing inputs (connector scripts, domain names, ACME tokens) are validated through `internal/validation/command.go` before reaching shell execution. `ValidateShellCommand()` denies all shell metacharacters. `ValidateDomainName()` enforces RFC 1123. `ValidateACMEToken()` restricts to base64url characters. The network scanner filters reserved IP ranges (loopback, link-local including cloud metadata 169.254.169.254, multicast, broadcast) to prevent SSRF, while preserving RFC 1918 private ranges for legitimate internal scanning.
+
+### Request Body Size Limits
+
+All incoming HTTP request bodies are capped by `http.MaxBytesReader` middleware (default 1MB, configurable via `CERTCTL_MAX_BODY_SIZE`). Requests exceeding the limit receive a 413 Request Entity Too Large response. The middleware is positioned before authentication in the chain so oversized payloads are rejected early, before any auth processing or database work occurs. Requests without bodies (GET, HEAD, nil body) skip the limit check.
+
+### CORS
+
+CORS uses a **deny-by-default** posture: when `CERTCTL_CORS_ORIGINS` is empty, no CORS headers are set and only same-origin requests can read responses. Operators must explicitly configure allowed origins. This prevents accidental exposure of the API to cross-origin requests in production.
+
+### Middleware Chain Order
+
+The HTTP middleware stack processes requests in the following order (see `cmd/server/main.go`):
+
+1. **RequestID** - assigns unique request ID for correlation
+2. **Logging** - structured slog middleware with request ID propagation
+3. **Recovery** - panic recovery (catches panics in downstream middleware/handlers)
+4. **BodyLimit** - request body size cap via `http.MaxBytesReader`
+5. **RateLimiter** - token bucket rate limiting (optional, when enabled)
+6. **CORS** - cross-origin request handling (deny-by-default)
+7. **Auth** - API key or JWT validation
+8. **AuditLog** - records every API call to the audit trail (requires auth context for actor)
+
+### Concurrency Safety
+
+The background scheduler uses `sync/atomic.Bool` idempotency guards on all 6 loops — if a tick fires while the previous iteration is still running, it skips. A `sync.WaitGroup` tracks all in-flight goroutines. `WaitForCompletion(timeout)` blocks during shutdown until all work finishes or the timeout expires, preventing state corruption from mid-flight database operations during process exit.
+
 ### Logging
 
 All logging throughout the service layer uses Go's `log/slog` package for structured, queryable logs. This replaces ad-hoc `fmt.Printf` statements with consistent key-value logging that includes request context, operation names, and error details. Agents also implement exponential backoff on network failures to gracefully handle temporary connectivity issues with the control plane.

 When you visit `https://yourbank.com`, your browser checks a digital document called a **TLS certificate** before sending any data. That certificate proves two things: (1) you're really talking to yourbank.com and not an imposter, and (2) everything sent between you and the server is encrypted.

 ### ACME Protocol

Instead of filling out forms and waiting for emails, ACME lets software request, validate, and receive certificates programmatically. The server proves domain ownership by responding to challenges — placing a specific file on the web server (HTTP-01) or creating a DNS record (DNS-01).

-certctl speaks ACME natively with both HTTP-01 and DNS-01 challenges, so it can request certificates — including wildcard certificates — from Let's Encrypt or any ACME-compatible CA without manual intervention. HTTP-01 uses a built-in temporary HTTP server for domain validation; DNS-01 uses pluggable script-based hooks to create TXT records with any DNS provider (Cloudflare, Route53, Azure DNS, etc.).
+certctl speaks ACME natively with HTTP-01, DNS-01, and DNS-PERSIST-01 challenges, so it can request certificates — including wildcard certificates — from Let's Encrypt or any ACME-compatible CA without manual intervention. HTTP-01 uses a built-in temporary HTTP server for domain validation; DNS-01 uses pluggable script-based hooks to create TXT records with any DNS provider (Cloudflare, Route53, Azure DNS, etc.); DNS-PERSIST-01 creates a standing `_validation-persist` TXT record once (containing the CA domain and account URI) that the CA revalidates on every renewal — no per-renewal DNS updates needed. If the CA doesn't yet support DNS-PERSIST-01, certctl automatically falls back to DNS-01.
+
+### EST Protocol (Enrollment over Secure Transport)
+
+EST (RFC 7030) is a standard protocol for devices to request certificates from a CA. While ACME was designed for web servers proving domain ownership, EST was designed for devices that need certificates without domain validation — think WiFi access points, corporate laptops connecting to 802.1X networks, IoT devices, and mobile devices managed by MDM platforms.
+
+The workflow is straightforward: a device generates a key pair and a Certificate Signing Request (CSR), sends the CSR to the EST server, and gets back a signed certificate. The EST server also distributes its CA certificate chain so devices can build a complete trust path.
+
+certctl includes a built-in EST server at `/.well-known/est/` with four operations: distributing the CA certificate chain (`/cacerts`), enrolling new devices (`/simpleenroll`), renewing existing certificates (`/simplereenroll`), and advertising CSR requirements (`/csrattrs`). EST enrollment uses the same issuer connectors as the REST API — so a certificate issued via EST and a certificate issued via the dashboard go through the same CA, appear in the same inventory, and follow the same policies.

 ### MCP Server (AI Integration)
 
-certctl includes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes all 78 API endpoints as MCP tools. This enables AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible tools to interact with your certificate infrastructure using natural language — "show me all expiring certificates," "revoke the VPN cert," or "what agents are offline?"

This enables AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible tools to interact with your certificate infrastructure using natural language — "show me all expiring certificates," "revoke the VPN cert," or "what agents are offline?"
 
 The MCP server is a separate binary (`cmd/mcp-server/`) that communicates via stdio transport and acts as a stateless HTTP proxy to the certctl REST API. It requires no additional infrastructure — just point it at your certctl server URL and API key.
 
+### EST Enrollment (Device Certificates)
+
+certctl's EST server enables device certificate enrollment for use cases that don't fit the traditional "ops team requests a cert via API" model. When a RADIUS server is configured to use certctl for 802.1X WiFi authentication, or an MDM platform enrolls corporate devices, they use the EST protocol at `/.well-known/est/`. The EST server validates the CSR, issues a certificate via the configured issuer connector, and returns it in PKCS#7 format — the standard wire format that every EST client understands. Each enrollment is recorded in the audit trail with the protocol, common name, SANs, issuer, and serial number.
+
+Enable it with `CERTCTL_EST_ENABLED=true`. Optionally bind enrollments to a specific issuer (`CERTCTL_EST_ISSUER_ID`) or certificate profile (`CERTCTL_EST_PROFILE_ID`) to constrain what EST clients can request.

 **How it works:** There are two discovery modes. *Filesystem discovery* — agents scan configured directories (configured via `CERTCTL_DISCOVERY_DIRS`) for certificate files. On startup and every 6 hours, the agent walks directories recursively, parses PEM and DER files, extracts metadata, and reports findings to the control plane. *Network discovery* — the control plane itself probes TLS endpoints across configured CIDR ranges and ports (enabled via `CERTCTL_NETWORK_SCAN_ENABLED=true`). It connects to each endpoint, extracts certificates from the TLS handshake, and feeds results into the same discovery pipeline. This finds certificates on services you may not have agents on. In both cases, the server deduplicates by fingerprint and stores discovered certs with a status: **Unmanaged** (discovered but not yet managed), **Managed** (linked to a control plane cert), or **Dismissed** (operator decided not to manage it).
 
 This gives you a three-step triage workflow:
-1. **Discover** — Agents find all existing certs on your infrastructure
-2. **Triage** — Operators review discoveries and decide: claim it (enroll for management), or dismiss it (not worth managing)
+1. **Discover** — Agents scan filesystems and the server probes network endpoints to find all existing certs
+2. **Triage** — Operators review discoveries in the **Discovery** dashboard page and decide: claim it (link to a managed certificate) or dismiss it (not worth managing). The dashboard shows a summary stats bar (Unmanaged/Managed/Dismissed counts), filters by status and agent, and provides one-click claim and dismiss actions.
 3. **Baseline** — Once triaged, you have a complete baseline of what's deployed, what you're managing, and what's unmanaged
 
+Network scan targets are managed from the **Network Scans** dashboard page — create CIDR ranges and ports to probe, enable/disable targets, trigger on-demand scans, and view results. Discovered certificates from network scans appear in the same Discovery triage page alongside filesystem discoveries.
+
 This is a prerequisite for multi-CA migration, compliance audits, and building confidence that you've found all the certificates that matter.

 All connectors accept JSON configuration at initialization, support config validation, and are registered in the service layer. Issuer connectors run on the control plane; target connectors run on agents. For network appliances where agents can't be installed, a **proxy agent** in the same network zone handles deployment — the server never initiates outbound connections.

+The ACME connector implements the full ACME v2 protocol using Go's `golang.org/x/crypto/acme` package. It supports three challenge methods:
 
 **HTTP-01 (default):** A built-in temporary HTTP server starts on demand during certificate issuance. The domain being validated must resolve to the machine running the connector, and the configured HTTP port must be reachable from the internet.
 
 **DNS-01 (for wildcards):** Creates DNS TXT records via user-provided scripts. Required for wildcard certificates (`*.example.com`) and hosts that can't serve HTTP on port 80. The connector invokes external scripts to create and clean up `_acme-challenge` TXT records, making it compatible with any DNS provider (Cloudflare, Route53, Azure DNS, etc.).
 
+**DNS-PERSIST-01 (standing record):** Creates a one-time persistent TXT record at `_validation-persist.<domain>` containing the CA's issuer domain and your ACME account URI. Once set, this record authorizes unlimited future certificate issuances without per-renewal DNS updates. Based on [draft-ietf-acme-dns-persist](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-acme-dns-persist/) and CA/Browser Forum ballot SC-088v3. If the CA doesn't offer dns-persist-01 yet, the connector falls back to dns-01 automatically.

+- **OpenSSL/Custom CA**: Returns error — custom script-based CAs have no CA cert access through certctl.

 ### Planned Issuers
 
 The following issuer connectors are planned for future milestones:

+### Built-in: Traefik
 
-The F5 BIG-IP target connector interface is built with the iControl REST flow mapped out, but the actual API calls are not yet implemented. F5 appliances can't run agents directly, so this connector uses the **proxy agent pattern**: a designated agent in the same network zone picks up F5 deployment jobs and calls the iControl REST API. The server assigns the work; the proxy agent executes it. Implementation is planned for the paid V3 release.
+The Traefik connector uses Traefik's file provider — it writes certificate and key files to a watched directory, and Traefik automatically picks up the changes without any explicit reload command. This is the simplest deployment model: write the files, and Traefik does the rest.
 
-The planned flow is: authenticate via `POST /mgmt/shared/authn/login`, upload cert PEM via `POST /mgmt/tm/ltm/certificate`, update the SSL profile via `PATCH /mgmt/tm/ltm/profile/client-ssl/{profile}`, and validate deployment by checking profile status. Implementation is planned for a future release.

+
+The `cert_dir` is the directory Traefik is configured to watch via its file provider (e.g., `providers.file.directory` in Traefik's static config). The connector writes `cert_file` and `key_file` into this directory with appropriate permissions. Traefik's file watcher detects the change and reloads the TLS configuration automatically.

+
+The Caddy connector supports two deployment modes — choose based on your Caddy setup:
+
+**API mode (recommended):** Posts the certificate directly to Caddy's admin API (`POST /load` or certificate-specific endpoints) for zero-downtime hot reload. Requires Caddy's admin API to be enabled and accessible from the agent.
+
+**File mode (fallback):** Writes cert and key files to disk, relying on Caddy's built-in file watcher or a manual reload. Use this when the admin API isn't available or when Caddy is configured to read certificates from disk.

+  "key_file": "site.key"
+}
+```
+
+When `mode` is `"api"`, the connector posts the certificate to the admin API endpoint. When `mode` is `"file"`, it writes files to `cert_dir` (same pattern as Traefik). The `admin_api` field is ignored in file mode.

 **How it works:** Filesystem discovery: the agent scans `CERTCTL_DISCOVERY_DIRS` on startup and every 6 hours, extracts metadata (common name, SANs, issuer, expiration, key type, fingerprint) from all PEM and DER files, and POSTs findings to `POST /api/v1/agents/{id}/discoveries`. Network discovery: the server expands CIDR ranges (capped at /20 = 4096 IPs), connects to each IP:port via TLS, extracts the peer certificate chain, and stores results using `server-scanner` as a sentinel agent ID. Both sources deduplicate by fingerprint and store results with a status: **Unmanaged** (discovered, not yet managed), **Managed** (linked to a control plane cert), or **Dismissed** (operator decided not to manage). This gives you a triage workflow: discover → review → claim or dismiss.

-# certctl Demo Guide
-
-A 5-10 minute guided walkthrough of certctl's dashboard and API. Perfect for stakeholder presentations and team demos.
-
-New to certificates? Read the [Concepts Guide](concepts.md) first. Want a hands-on demo where you issue certificates yourself? See the [Advanced Demo](demo-advanced.md).
-
-## Quick Start
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/shankar0123/certctl.git
-cd certctl
-docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml up -d --build
-```
-
-Wait ~30 seconds for PostgreSQL to initialize and the server to start, then open:
-
-**http://localhost:8443**
-
-You'll see the dashboard pre-loaded with 15 demo certificates across multiple teams, environments, and statuses — including expiring, expired, active, failed, wildcard, and in-progress renewals.
-
-## What You'll See
-
-### Dashboard Overview
-The main dashboard shows at a glance:
-- **Total certificates** managed across your infrastructure
-- **Expiring soon** — certificates within 30 days of expiration (yellow/red)
-- **Expired** — certificates past their expiration date
-- **Active** — healthy certificates with time remaining
-- **Renewal success rate** — percentage of automated renewals that succeeded
-
-Below the stats, interactive charts provide deeper visibility: an **expiration heatmap** (90-day weekly buckets), **renewal success rate trends** (30-day line chart), **certificate status distribution** (donut chart), and **issuance rate** (30-day bar chart).
-
-### Certificates View
-Click "Certificates" in the sidebar to see the full inventory:
-- Search by name or domain
-- Filter by status (Active, Expiring, Expired, Failed) or environment (Production, Staging)
-- Sort by any column
-- Click any row to see full details: metadata, version history, deployment targets, and audit trail
-
-### Demo Scenarios to Walk Through
-
-**1. "We're about to have an outage"**
-Filter by status → Expiring. You'll see `auth-production` (12 days), `cdn-production` (8 days), and `mail-production` (5 days). These are real alerts the platform would catch automatically.
-
-**2. "A renewal failed"**
-Look at `vpn-production` — status: Failed. Click it to see the audit trail showing the ACME challenge failure after 3 retry attempts. The system sent a webhook notification to the ops channel.
-
-**3. "Who owns this cert?"**
-Click any certificate to see the owner, team, environment, and tags. Every cert has clear accountability.
-
-**4. "What happened to the legacy app?"**
-Filter by status → Expired. `legacy-app` expired 3 days ago, `old-api-v1` expired 15 days ago. Both have policy violations flagged.
-
-**5. "Show me the agent fleet"**
-Click "Agents" in the sidebar. Four agents are online, one (`iis-prod-agent`) went offline 3 hours ago — you'd want to investigate that.
-
-**6. "What policies are enforced?"**
-Click "Policies" to see the active rules: required owner metadata, allowed environments, max certificate lifetime, minimum renewal window. Check the violations list to see which certs are non-compliant.
-
-**7. "Can I revoke a compromised cert?"**
-Click any active certificate, then click the "Revoke" button. A modal appears with RFC 5280 reason codes (Key Compromise, Superseded, Cessation of Operation, etc.). After revocation, the cert shows a revocation banner with the reason and timestamp.
-
-**8. "Show me short-lived credentials"**
-Click "Short-Lived" in the sidebar. This view shows certificates with TTL under 1 hour — live countdown timers, auto-refresh every 10 seconds, and profile-based filtering. These are for service-to-service auth where rapid expiry replaces revocation.
-
-**9. "What about bulk operations?"**
-On the Certificates page, select multiple certificates using the checkboxes. A bulk action bar appears with options to trigger renewal, revoke (with reason codes), or reassign ownership — all with progress tracking.
-
-**10. "How do I see the deployment history?"**
-Click any certificate, then scroll to the deployment timeline. A visual 4-step timeline shows the lifecycle: Requested → Issued → Deploying → Active. Previous versions show a rollback button.
-
-**11. "What about certificates already running in production?"**
-Enable discovery on agents by setting `CERTCTL_DISCOVERY_DIRS` to directories containing certificates (e.g., `/etc/nginx/certs`). Agents scan on startup and every 6 hours, report findings to the control plane. For network-based discovery without agents, enable `CERTCTL_NETWORK_SCAN_ENABLED=true` and configure scan targets via the API — the server probes TLS endpoints on configured CIDR ranges and ports. Click "Discovered Certificates" to see what agents and network scans found — claim unmanaged certs to bring them under certctl's management, or dismiss them.

-## REST API Walkthrough
-

-## CLI Tool
-
-certctl ships with a command-line tool (`certctl-cli`) for terminal users:
-
-```bash
-# Build the CLI
-cd cmd/cli && go build -o certctl-cli .
-
-# Set credentials
-export CERTCTL_SERVER_URL="http://localhost:8443"
-export CERTCTL_API_KEY="test-key-123"
-
-# List certificates (JSON or table format)
-./certctl-cli list-certs --format json
-./certctl-cli list-certs --format table
-
-# Get certificate details
-./certctl-cli get-cert mc-api-prod
-
-# Trigger renewal
-./certctl-cli renew-cert mc-api-prod
-
-# Revoke a certificate (with RFC 5280 reason)
-./certctl-cli revoke-cert mc-api-prod --reason keyCompromise
-
-# List agents
-./certctl-cli list-agents
-
-# List pending jobs
-./certctl-cli list-jobs
-
-# Bulk import certificates from PEM files
-./certctl-cli import /path/to/certs.pem
-
-# Check health and metrics
-./certctl-cli health
-./certctl-cli metrics
-```
-
-## MCP Server for AI Integration
-
-certctl exposes its 78 API endpoints as tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling integration with Claude, Cursor, and other AI assistants:
-
-```bash
-# Build and run the MCP server
-cd cmd/mcp-server && go build -o mcp-server .
-
-export CERTCTL_SERVER_URL="http://localhost:8443"
-export CERTCTL_API_KEY="test-key-123"
-
-./mcp-server
-```
-
-The MCP server:
-- Exposes all 78 API endpoints as MCP tools with typed schemas
-- Handles binary responses (DER CRL, OCSP responses)
-- Uses stdio transport for Claude/Cursor/OpenClaw integration
-- Zero external dependencies — pure Go with official MCP SDK
-
-You can then ask Claude questions like:
-- "What certificates are expiring in the next 30 days?"
-- "Revoke the payments certificate due to key compromise"
-- "Show me the audit trail for the last 10 actions"
-- "List all certificates with PCI compliance tags"
-
-## Dashboard Demo Mode
-
-The dashboard includes a **Demo Mode** that works without any backend. Build and serve the frontend with Vite:
-
-```bash
-cd web
-npm install
-npm run dev
-# Dashboard available at http://localhost:5173
-```
-
-When the API is unreachable, the dashboard automatically loads realistic mock data and shows a subtle "Demo Mode" badge. This is perfect for screenshots, presentations, or quick demos without any infrastructure.
-
-## Teardown
-
-```bash
-docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml down -v
-```
-
-The `-v` flag removes the PostgreSQL data volume so you get a clean slate next time.
-
-## Presenting to Stakeholders
-
-If you're demoing to a team or customer, here's a suggested flow:
-
-1. **Start with the dashboard** — "This is your certificate inventory at a glance, with real-time charts showing expiration trends and renewal health"
-2. **Show the expiring certs** — "These three would have caused outages without this platform"
-3. **Click into auth-production** — "Here's the full lifecycle: who owns it, where it's deployed, deployment timeline, when it was last renewed"
-4. **Show revocation** — "If a key is compromised, one click revokes the cert with an RFC 5280 reason code. CRL and OCSP are served automatically"
-5. **Show the failed VPN cert** — "The system tried 3 times, then alerted the team via Slack, Teams, PagerDuty, or OpsGenie"
-6. **Show agents and fleet overview** — "Agents run on your infrastructure, handle key generation locally (ECDSA P-256). Fleet view shows OS, architecture, and version distribution"
-7. **Show profiles** — "Certificate profiles enforce crypto constraints — key types, max TTL, compliance requirements"
-8. **Show policies** — "Guardrails prevent teams from going outside approved scope"
-9. **Show bulk operations** — "Select multiple certs, trigger renewal or revoke in bulk with progress tracking"
-10. **Show certificate discovery** — "We discover certificates two ways: agents scan local filesystems, and the server actively probes TLS endpoints on your network. We deduplicate by fingerprint, show you what we found, and let you claim them or dismiss them"
-11. **Show the immutable audit trail** — "Every action in the system is recorded: who did it, what they did, when, what changed. Export to CSV/JSON for compliance"
-12. **Show advanced query features** — "Sort by any field, filter by date range, paginate efficiently with cursor-based pagination, select just the fields you need"
-13. **Show the CLI and MCP server** — "Terminal users get `certctl-cli` with 10 subcommands. AI assistants get MCP integration with 78 tools. Everything is API-first"
-
-The whole walkthrough takes 5-10 minutes.

+## Certificate Export
+
+Operators need to export certificates for use in third-party systems or for compliance audits. certctl provides two export formats: PEM (cert + chain, JSON or file download) and PKCS#12 (cert + chain in a passwordless bundle for compatibility with systems like Java keystores and Windows certificate stores).
+
+**Important:** Private keys are never exported — they remain on agents where they were generated. This is a core security property. Exports only bundle the public certificate material (cert + chain).
+
+```bash
+# Export as PEM (returns JSON with base64-encoded data + chain)
+curl -H "$AUTH" "$SERVER/api/v1/certificates/mc-api-prod/export/pem"
+# {"certificate_pem":"-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\n...", "chain_pem":"-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\n..."}

 ## Certificate Profiles
 
 ### Profile Model
-Named enrollment profiles defining certificate issuance constraints. Profiles prevent drift — without them, different teams might issue certs with inconsistent key sizes, TTLs, or key algorithms. A profile says "all certs in this category must use ECDSA P-256, max 90-day TTL, serverAuth EKU only."
+Named enrollment profiles defining certificate issuance constraints. Profiles prevent drift — without them, different teams might issue certs with inconsistent key sizes, TTLs, or key algorithms. A profile says "all certs in this category must use ECDSA P-256, max 90-day TTL, serverAuth and clientAuth EKUs only."
+
+Profiles also support **Extended Key Usage (EKU)** constraints, enabling S/MIME and device certificates. Common EKUs:
+- `serverAuth` — TLS server certificates (HTTPS, mail servers)
+- `clientAuth` — TLS client certificates (mutual TLS, device auth)
+- `emailProtection` — S/MIME signing and encryption
+- `codeSigning` — Code signing and software updates
+- `timeStamping` — Trusted timestamps

+### S/MIME Support
+When a profile specifies `emailProtection` EKU, certctl adapts the issuance flow for email certificates:
+- **SAN handling** — email addresses in SANs are formatted as `rfc822Name` (not DNS names)
+- **Key usage** — S/MIME certs use `DigitalSignature | ContentCommitment` instead of the TLS default `DigitalSignature | KeyEncipherment`
+- **Agent CSR generation** — agents correctly distinguish DNS SANs from email SANs based on profile EKU
+- **Issuer constraints** — Local CA and other issuers thread EKUs through the signing pipeline

+### EST Server (RFC 7030, M23)
+**Enrollment over Secure Transport** — industry-standard protocol for device certificate enrollment. Enables WiFi/802.1X, MDM, IoT, and BYOD use cases where devices need certificates without direct API access.
+
+**Endpoints** (under `/.well-known/est/` per RFC 7030):
+
+| Endpoint | Method | Description | Wire Format |
+|----------|--------|-------------|-------------|
+| `/cacerts` | GET | CA certificate chain distribution | Base64 PKCS#7 certs-only (application/pkcs7-mime) |
+| `/simpleenroll` | POST | Initial certificate enrollment | Request: PEM or base64-DER PKCS#10; Response: PKCS#7 |
+| `/simplereenroll` | POST | Certificate re-enrollment (renewal) | Same as simpleenroll |
+| `/csrattrs` | GET | CSR attributes the server requires | ASN.1 DER (application/csrattrs) |
+
+**Architecture:**
+- **ESTService** bridges handler to existing `IssuerConnector` — no new issuance logic, reuses existing CA connectors
+- **CSR input handling** — accepts both base64-encoded DER (EST wire standard) and PEM-encoded PKCS#10 (convenience)
+- **PKCS#7 output** — hand-rolled ASN.1 degenerate SignedData builder (no external PKCS#7 dependency)
+- **CSR validation** — signature verification, Common Name extraction, SAN extraction (DNS, IP, email, URI)
+- **Configurable issuer binding** — `CERTCTL_EST_ISSUER_ID` selects which issuer connector processes enrollment
+- **Optional profile binding** — `CERTCTL_EST_PROFILE_ID` constrains enrollments to a specific certificate profile
+- **Audit trail** — all EST enrollments recorded with protocol=EST, CN, SANs, issuer ID, serial, profile ID
+
+**Configuration:**
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `CERTCTL_EST_ENABLED` | `false` | Enable EST enrollment endpoints |
+| `CERTCTL_EST_ISSUER_ID` | `iss-local` | Issuer connector for EST enrollments |
+| `CERTCTL_EST_PROFILE_ID` | — | Optional profile ID to constrain enrollments |

 # Quick Start Guide
 
-Get certctl running locally and managing certificates in under 5 minutes. With TLS certificate lifespans dropping to 47 days by 2029, automated lifecycle management isn't optional — it's infrastructure. This guide gets you hands-on with certctl's automation loop: tracking, renewing, and deploying certificates without manual intervention.
+Certificate lifespans are dropping to **47 days by 2029**. At that cadence, a team managing 100 certificates is processing 7+ renewals per week — every week, forever. Manual processes break. certctl automates the entire lifecycle: issuance, renewal, deployment, revocation, and audit — with zero human intervention.
+
+This guide gets you running in 5 minutes and walks you through everything certctl does.
 
 New to certificates? Read the [Concepts Guide](concepts.md) first — it explains TLS, CAs, and private keys in plain language.

+The dashboard comes pre-loaded with 15 demo certificates across multiple teams, environments, and statuses — expiring certs, expired certs, active certs, failed renewals. A realistic snapshot of what certificate management looks like in a real organization.
+
+### What you're looking at
+
+The main dashboard shows total certificates, how many are expiring soon, how many have expired, the renewal success rate, and four charts: an **expiration heatmap** (90-day weekly buckets), **renewal success rate trends** (30-day line chart), **certificate status distribution** (donut chart), and **issuance rate** (30-day bar chart).
+
+Explore the sidebar: Certificates, Agents, Policies, Jobs, Audit Trail, Notifications, Profiles, Teams, Owners, Agent Groups, Fleet Overview, Short-Lived Credentials, Discovery, and Network Scans.
+
+### Scenarios to walk through
+
+**"We're about to have an outage"** — Filter certificates by status → Expiring. You'll see `auth-production` (12 days), `cdn-production` (8 days), and `mail-production` (5 days). At 47-day lifespans, this is every other week. certctl catches these automatically and triggers renewal before they expire.
+
+**"A renewal failed"** — Look at `vpn-production` — status: Failed. Click it to see the audit trail showing the ACME challenge failure after 3 retry attempts. The system sent a webhook notification to the ops channel. No one had to notice manually.
+
+**"Who owns this cert?"** — Click any certificate. Owner, team, environment, tags. Clear accountability. Notifications route to the owner's email automatically.
+
+**"Can I revoke a compromised cert?"** — Click any active certificate, then "Revoke." A modal with RFC 5280 reason codes (Key Compromise, Superseded, Cessation of Operation). After revocation, CRL and OCSP are served automatically — clients stop trusting the cert immediately.
+
+**"What about certificates already in production?"** — Click "Discovery" in the sidebar. The demo comes pre-loaded with 9 discovered certificates — some found by agents scanning filesystems, some found by the server probing TLS endpoints on the network. You'll see Unmanaged certs waiting for triage (including an expired printer cert and an expiring switch management cert), certs already linked to managed inventory, and one that was dismissed. Claim unmanaged certs to bring them under automation, or dismiss them. Click "Network Scans" to see the 3 configured scan targets with recent scan results.
+
+**"I need to approve a renewal before it proceeds"** — Click "Jobs" in the sidebar. You'll see an amber banner: "2 jobs awaiting approval." These are renewal jobs for `auth-production` and `payments-production` that require human sign-off before proceeding. Click Approve or Reject with a reason — the decision is recorded in the audit trail.
+
+**"Show me the agent fleet"** — Click "Agents." Four agents online, one offline. Click "Fleet Overview" for OS/architecture grouping, version distribution, and per-platform listing. Agents generate ECDSA P-256 keys locally — private keys never leave your infrastructure.
+
+**"What about bulk operations?"** — On the Certificates page, select multiple certificates with checkboxes. A bulk action bar appears: trigger renewal, revoke with reason codes, or reassign ownership — all with progress tracking. At 47-day lifespans with hundreds of certs, bulk operations aren't optional.
+
+**"Short-lived credentials?"** — Click "Short-Lived" in the sidebar. Live countdown timers for certificates with TTL under 1 hour. Auto-refresh every 10 seconds. These are for service-to-service auth where rapid expiry replaces revocation.

 ## Create Your First Certificate
 
-Let's create a new managed certificate from scratch using the API. This will create a certificate record that certctl will track, renew, and deploy.

-The server returns the created certificate. Since we didn't include an `id` field, the server auto-generates one using the name and a timestamp:
-```json
-{
-  "id": "My First Certificate-1710403200000000000",
-  "name": "My First Certificate",
-  "common_name": "myapp.example.com",
-  "status": "Pending",

-
 Save the certificate ID (or provide your own `id` in the request body, e.g. `"id": "mc-my-first"`):
 ```bash
 CERT_ID="<paste the id from the response>"
 ```
 
-### Step 2: Trigger renewal

+Trigger renewal:
 ```bash
 curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8443/api/v1/certificates/$CERT_ID/renew | jq .

-## Understanding the Demo Data
-
-The demo comes pre-loaded with realistic data so you can explore certctl's features immediately:
-
-| Resource | Count | Examples |
-|----------|-------|---------|
-| Teams | 5 | Platform, Security, Payments, Frontend, Data |
-| Owners | 5 | Alice, Bob, Carol, Dave, Eve |
-| Issuers | 4 | Local Dev CA, Let's Encrypt Staging, step-ca Internal, DigiCert (disabled) |
-| Agents | 5 | nginx-prod, nginx-staging, f5-prod, iis-prod, data-agent |
-| Targets | 5 | NGINX (prod/staging/data), F5 LB, IIS |
-| Certificates | 15 | Various statuses: Active, Expiring, Expired, Failed, Wildcard |
-| Policies | 4 | Required owner, allowed environments, max lifetime, min renewal window |
-| Profiles | 3 | Default TLS, Short-Lived, High-Security |
-| Agent Groups | 5 | Linux agents, ARM agents, Production subnet, etc. |
-
-Certificates have varied statuses so you can see what each state looks like in the dashboard: healthy certs with 45+ days remaining, certs about to expire (5-12 days), certs that already expired, and a failed renewal.
-
-## Advanced API Features
-
-### Sorting and filtering
-
-```bash
-# Sort certificates by expiration date (ascending)
-curl -s "http://localhost:8443/api/v1/certificates?sort=notAfter" | jq .
-
-# Sort descending (prefix with -)
-curl -s "http://localhost:8443/api/v1/certificates?sort=-createdAt" | jq .
-
-# Time-range filters (RFC3339 format)
-curl -s "http://localhost:8443/api/v1/certificates?expires_before=2026-05-01T00:00:00Z" | jq .
-curl -s "http://localhost:8443/api/v1/certificates?created_after=2026-03-01T00:00:00Z" | jq .
-```
-
-Supported sort fields: `notAfter`, `expiresAt`, `createdAt`, `updatedAt`, `commonName`, `name`, `status`, `environment`.
-
-### Sparse field selection
-
-Request only the fields you need to reduce response size:
-
-```bash
-curl -s "http://localhost:8443/api/v1/certificates?fields=id,common_name,status,expires_at" | jq .
-```
-
-### Cursor-based pagination
-
-For large datasets, cursor pagination is more efficient than page-based:
-
-```bash
-# First page
-curl -s "http://localhost:8443/api/v1/certificates?page_size=5" | jq '{next_cursor: .next_cursor, count: (.data | length)}'
-
-# Next page (use the next_cursor from the previous response)

+## Certificate Discovery
 
-```bash
-docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml down -v

+Find certificates already running in your infrastructure — ones you didn't issue through certctl.
 
-The `-v` flag removes the PostgreSQL data volume so you get a clean slate next time.
+The demo environment comes pre-loaded with 9 discovered certificates (from agent filesystem scans and server-side network scans), 3 network scan targets, and recent scan history. Open **Discovery** and **Network Scans** in the sidebar to see the triage workflow immediately.
 
-### Certificate Discovery
-
-Agents can scan your infrastructure for existing certificates you're not yet managing:
+### Filesystem discovery (agent-based)
 
 ```bash
 # Configure agent to scan directories

+## Dashboard Demo Mode
+
+The dashboard works without a backend for screenshots and presentations:
+
+```bash
+cd web && npm install && npm run dev
+# Dashboard at http://localhost:5173
+```
+
+When the API is unreachable, the dashboard loads realistic mock data with a "Demo Mode" badge.
+
+## Presenting to Stakeholders
+
+A suggested 5-minute flow:
+
+1. **Dashboard** — "Certificate inventory at a glance. Real-time charts show expiration trends and renewal health."
+2. **Expiring certs** — "These three would have caused outages. At 47-day lifespans, this happens every other week."
+3. **Certificate detail** — "Full lifecycle: who owns it, where it's deployed, deployment timeline, version history with rollback."
+4. **Revocation** — "One click revokes with an RFC 5280 reason code. CRL and OCSP served automatically."
+5. **Failed renewal** — "System tried 3 times, then alerted the team via Slack, Teams, PagerDuty, or OpsGenie."
+6. **Agent fleet** — "Agents handle key generation locally (ECDSA P-256). Private keys never leave your infrastructure."
+7. **Discovery** — "Agents scan filesystems, server probes TLS endpoints. We find what you're not managing yet."
+8. **Bulk operations** — "Select multiple certs, renew or revoke in bulk. At 47-day lifespans with hundreds of certs, this is essential."
+9. **Audit trail** — "Every action recorded. Export to CSV/JSON for compliance."
+10. **CLI + MCP** — "Terminal users get `certctl-cli`. AI assistants get MCP integration. Everything is API-first."
+
+## Tear Down
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml down -v
+```
+
+The `-v` flag removes the PostgreSQL data volume for a clean slate.

+# certctl Test Gap Attack Prompt
+
+**Purpose:** Self-contained prompt for a future Claude session to systematically close all identified test gaps. Copy this entire document into a new session along with CLAUDE.md.
+
+**Estimated effort:** 250-350 new test functions across 12-15 new/modified test files.
+
+---
+
+## Context
+
+You are working on certctl, a self-hosted certificate lifecycle platform. The project has ~1100 tests but a comprehensive audit identified 12 gaps across 4 priority tiers. Your job is to close ALL of them in order (P0 first, then P1, then P2). After each file you create or modify, run the specific test file to verify it passes, then run `go vet ./...` to catch issues early.
+
+**Key conventions:**
+- Package-level tests (e.g., `package service` not `package service_test`) so you can access unexported fields
+- Mock repositories use function-field injection pattern (see `internal/service/testutil_test.go` for all mocks)
+- Mocks available: `mockCertRepo`, `mockJobRepo`, `mockNotifRepo`, `mockAuditRepo`, `mockPolicyRepo`, `mockRenewalPolicyRepo`, `mockAgentRepo`, `mockTargetRepo`, `mockIssuerConnector`, `mockIssuerRepository`, `mockRevocationRepo`, `mockNotifier`
+- Constructor helpers: `newMockCertificateRepository()`, `newMockJobRepository()`, etc.
+- Test naming: `TestServiceName_MethodName_Scenario` (e.g., `TestDeploymentService_CreateDeploymentJobs_Success`)
+- All tests use `context.Background()` unless testing cancellation
+- The `generateID(prefix)` function exists in the service package for creating IDs

+The existing tests cover idempotency and graceful shutdown. Add tests that verify each loop actually calls its service method.
+
+### Required tests (~8 functions):
+
+1. `TestSchedulerRenewalLoopCallsService` — start scheduler with 50ms interval, wait 150ms, verify renewalMock.callCount >= 1
+2. `TestSchedulerJobProcessorLoopCallsService` — same pattern for jobMock
+3. `TestSchedulerAgentHealthCheckLoopCallsService` — same for agentMock
+4. `TestSchedulerNotificationLoopCallsService` — same for notificationMock
+5. `TestSchedulerNetworkScanLoopCallsService` — same for networkMock
+6. `TestSchedulerShortLivedExpiryLoopCallsService` — verify ExpireShortLivedCertificates is called (need to add callCount tracking to mockRenewalService.ExpireShortLivedCertificates)
+7. `TestSchedulerLoopErrorRecovery` — set shouldError=true on renewalMock, verify scheduler continues (doesn't crash), subsequent calls still happen
+8. `TestSchedulerLoopContextCancellation` — cancel context mid-execution, verify no panics, WaitForCompletion succeeds
+
+**Note:** You'll need to add `expireCallCount` and `expireCallTimes` fields to `mockRenewalService` and track calls in `ExpireShortLivedCertificates`.
+
+---
+
+## P0-4: Agent Binary Tests
+
+**File to create:** `cmd/agent/agent_test.go` (NEW FILE, `package main`)
+
+This is the hardest gap. The agent binary's methods (`executeCSRJob`, `executeDeploymentJob`, heartbeat loop, discovery loop) need a mock HTTP server.
+
+### Setup:
+```go
+func newTestServer(t *testing.T) *httptest.Server {
+    mux := http.NewServeMux()
+    // Register mock endpoints
+    mux.HandleFunc("/api/v1/agents/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+        // Handle heartbeat (POST /agents/{id}/heartbeat), work (GET /agents/{id}/work),
+        // CSR submission (POST /agents/{id}/csr), job status (POST /agents/{id}/jobs/{job_id}/status),
+        // discoveries (POST /agents/{id}/discoveries)
+    })
+    mux.HandleFunc("/health", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+        json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(map[string]string{"status": "healthy"})
+    })
+    return httptest.NewServer(mux)
+}
+```
+
+### Required tests (~10 functions):
+
+1. `TestAgentHeartbeat_Success` — mock server returns 200, verify request has correct headers
+2. `TestAgentHeartbeat_ServerDown` — connection refused, verify error handling (no panic)
+3. `TestAgentCSRGeneration` — verify ECDSA P-256 key generation, CSR contains correct CN and SANs
+4. `TestAgentCSRGeneration_EmailSAN` — verify email SANs route to EmailAddresses (not DNSNames)
+5. `TestAgentWorkPolling_NoWork` — server returns empty work list
+6. `TestAgentWorkPolling_DeploymentJob` — server returns deployment work item
+7. `TestAgentWorkPolling_CSRJob` — server returns AwaitingCSR work item
+8. `TestAgentKeyStorage` — verify keys written to temp dir with 0600 permissions
+9. `TestAgentDiscoveryScan` — scan a temp directory with a test PEM file, verify correct extraction
+10. `TestAgentDiscoveryScan_EmptyDir` — scan empty directory, verify empty results (no error)
+
+**Important:** The agent code uses global variables and `main()` package patterns. You may need to extract testable functions or use `TestMain` for setup. If the agent's methods are on a struct, mock the HTTP client. If they're standalone functions, use httptest.
+
+---
+
+## P1-1: `CompleteAgentCSRRenewal` Tests
+
+**File to modify:** `internal/service/renewal_test.go`
+
+### Required tests (~8 functions):
+
+The method signature is:
+```go
+func (s *RenewalService) CompleteAgentCSRRenewal(ctx context.Context, job *domain.Job, cert *domain.ManagedCertificate, csrPEM string) error
+```
+
+You need a `RenewalService` with: certRepo, jobRepo, auditService, notificationSvc, issuerConnector (mock), profileRepo (mock), keygenMode="agent".
+
+1. `TestCompleteAgentCSRRenewal_Success` — valid job (AwaitingCSR), valid cert, valid CSR PEM. Verify: issuer.IssueCertificate called, cert version created, job status -> Completed, deployment jobs created
+2. `TestCompleteAgentCSRRenewal_IssuerError` — issuerConnector.Err set, verify job status -> Failed
+3. `TestCompleteAgentCSRRenewal_InvalidCSR` — garbage CSR PEM, verify error
+4. `TestCompleteAgentCSRRenewal_WithEKUs` — cert has certificate_profile_id, profile has allowed_ekus=["emailProtection"], verify EKUs forwarded to issuer
+5. `TestCompleteAgentCSRRenewal_NoProfile` — cert has no profile ID, verify default EKUs (nil)
+6. `TestCompleteAgentCSRRenewal_CreateVersionError` — certRepo.CreateVersionErr set
+7. `TestCompleteAgentCSRRenewal_AuditRecorded` — verify audit event with correct details
+8. `TestCompleteAgentCSRRenewal_DeploymentJobsCreated` — after successful signing, verify deployment jobs exist in jobRepo
+
+**Note:** You'll need a `mockProfileRepo` if one doesn't exist in testutil_test.go. Check if `internal/repository/interfaces.go` has `ProfileRepository` and create a mock.
+
+---
+
+## P1-2: `ExpireShortLivedCertificates` Tests
+
+**File to modify:** `internal/service/renewal_test.go`
+
+```go
+func (s *RenewalService) ExpireShortLivedCertificates(ctx context.Context) error
+```
+
+1. `TestExpireShortLivedCertificates_NoShortLived` — no active certs with short-lived profiles, no changes
+2. `TestExpireShortLivedCertificates_ExpiresActiveCert` — cert with profile TTL < 1h, cert active, cert's NotAfter is in the past. Verify status -> Expired
+3. `TestExpireShortLivedCertificates_SkipsNonExpired` — cert with short-lived profile but NotAfter is in the future, no change
+4. `TestExpireShortLivedCertificates_SkipsNonShortLived` — cert with normal profile (TTL > 1h), even if expired. Verify not touched by this method
+5. `TestExpireShortLivedCertificates_RepoError` — certRepo.ListErr set
+
+**Note:** This method needs access to profiles to determine TTL. Read the actual implementation to understand how it queries — it may iterate all active certs and check their profile's max_ttl.
+
+---
+
+## P1-3: Domain Model Tests
+
+### `internal/domain/job_test.go` (NEW FILE)
+
+```go
+package domain
+
+import "testing"
+```

+5. `TestAgentGroup_MatchesAgent_ArchMismatch` — MatchArchitecture="amd64", agent.Architecture="arm64"
+6. `TestAgentGroup_MatchesAgent_VersionMismatch` — MatchVersion="1.0", agent.Version="2.0"
+7. `TestAgentGroup_MatchesAgent_IPMismatch` — MatchIPCIDR doesn't match agent.IPAddress
+8. `TestAgentGroup_MatchesAgent_EmptyCriteriaMatchesAll` — all criteria empty, any agent matches
+9. `TestAgentGroup_MatchesAgent_PartialCriteria` — only MatchOS set, agent matches OS, other fields irrelevant
+10. `TestAgentGroup_MatchesAgent_NilAgent` — if agent is nil, should not panic (add nil guard or verify behavior)
+
+### `internal/domain/notification_test.go` (NEW FILE)
+
+1. `TestNotificationType_Constants` — verify all 7 types
+2. `TestNotificationChannel_Constants` — verify all 6 channels

+
+### Modify `internal/api/handler/agent_group_handler_test.go`
+
+Add:
+1. `TestUpdateAgentGroup_Success` — PUT with valid body, verify 200
+2. `TestUpdateAgentGroup_InvalidJSON` — malformed body, verify 400

+
+### Modify `internal/api/handler/issuer_handler_test.go`

+
+---
+
+## P2-1: Frontend Error Handling Tests
+
+**File to modify:** `web/src/api/client.test.ts`
+
+Add error scenario tests for the 65+ API functions that lack them. Group by resource:
+
+### Pattern:
+```typescript
+it('listCertificates handles 500 error', async () => {
+  fetchMock.mockResponseOnce('', { status: 500 });
+  await expect(listCertificates()).rejects.toThrow();
+});
+
+it('getCertificate handles 404 error', async () => {
+  fetchMock.mockResponseOnce('', { status: 404 });
+  await expect(getCertificate('nonexistent')).rejects.toThrow();
+});
+```
+
+### Required (~40 tests):
+
+Add at minimum a 500 error test and a 404 test (where applicable) for each resource group:
+- Certificates (list 500, get 404, renew 404, revoke 404, export 404)
+- Agents (list 500, get 404)
+- Jobs (list 500, get 404, cancel 404, approve 404, reject 404)
+- Policies (list 500, get 404, create 400, update 404, delete 404)
+- Profiles (list 500, get 404, create 400)
+- Owners (list 500, get 404)

+- Discovery (list 500, claim 404, dismiss 404)
+- Network Scans (list 500, create 400, trigger 404)
+- Stats/Metrics (500 errors)
+- Health (500 error)
+
+---
+
+## P2-2: Context Cancellation Tests
+
+**File to create:** `internal/service/context_test.go` (NEW FILE)
+
+Test that long-running service methods respect context cancellation.
+
+### Pattern:
+```go
+func TestDeploymentService_CreateDeploymentJobs_ContextCancelled(t *testing.T) {
+    ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
+    cancel() // Cancel immediately
+
+    svc, _, targetRepo, _, _, _ := newTestDeploymentService()
+    targetRepo.AddTarget(&domain.DeploymentTarget{ID: "t1", Name: "test"})
+
+    _, err := svc.CreateDeploymentJobs(ctx, "cert-1")
+    // Depending on implementation, may get context.Canceled or proceed normally
+    // The key assertion: no panic, no goroutine leak
+    t.Logf("result with cancelled context: %v", err)
+}
+```
+
+### Required (~8 tests):
+
+1. `TestDeploymentService_ProcessDeploymentJob_ContextTimeout` — context with 1ms timeout
+2. `TestNetworkScanService_ScanAllTargets_ContextCancelled` — cancel mid-scan
+3. `TestDiscoveryService_ProcessDiscoveryReport_ContextCancelled`
+4. `TestESTService_SimpleEnroll_ContextCancelled`
+5. `TestExportService_ExportPKCS12_ContextCancelled`
+6. `TestRenewalService_ProcessRenewalJob_ContextTimeout`
+7. `TestCertificateService_RevokeCertificateWithActor_ContextCancelled`
+8. `TestVerificationService_RecordVerificationResult_ContextCancelled`
+
+---
+
+## P2-3: Concurrent Operation Tests
+
+**File to create:** `internal/service/concurrent_test.go` (NEW FILE)
+
+Use `sync.WaitGroup` and goroutines to test concurrent access patterns.
+
+### Required (~6 tests):
+
+```go
+func TestConcurrentRevocation(t *testing.T) {
+    // Setup service with a certificate
+    // Launch 5 goroutines all trying to revoke the same cert simultaneously
+    // Verify: exactly 1 succeeds (or all succeed idempotently), no panics, no data corruption
+    var wg sync.WaitGroup
+    errors := make([]error, 5)
+    for i := 0; i < 5; i++ {
+        wg.Add(1)
+        go func(idx int) {
+            defer wg.Done()
+            errors[idx] = svc.RevokeCertificateWithActor(ctx, certID, "keyCompromise", "test-actor")
+        }(i)
+    }
+    wg.Wait()
+    // Assert at most 1 "already revoked" error
+}
+```
+
+1. `TestConcurrentRevocation` — 5 goroutines revoke same cert
+2. `TestConcurrentDeploymentJobCreation` — 3 goroutines create deployment jobs for same cert
+3. `TestConcurrentDiscoveryReports` — 3 goroutines submit discovery reports simultaneously
+4. `TestConcurrentCertificateList` — 10 goroutines list certificates simultaneously (no race)
+5. `TestConcurrentJobStatusUpdate` — 5 goroutines update same job status
+6. `TestConcurrentTargetCRUD` — create, update, delete targets concurrently
+
+---
+
+## Execution Order
+
+Run these in order, verifying each step:
+
+```bash
+# P0 — Critical
+go test ./internal/service/ -run TestDeploymentService -v -count=1
+go test ./internal/service/ -run TestTargetService -v -count=1
+go test ./internal/scheduler/ -run TestScheduler -v -count=1
+
+# P1 — High Priority
+go test ./internal/service/ -run TestCompleteAgentCSR -v -count=1
+go test ./internal/service/ -run TestExpireShortLived -v -count=1
+go test ./internal/domain/ -v -count=1
+go test ./internal/api/handler/ -run "TestUpdateAgentGroup|TestUpdateIssuer|TestGetNetworkScan|TestUpdateNetworkScan" -v -count=1
+
+# P2 — Medium Priority
+cd web && npx vitest run
+go test ./internal/service/ -run TestContext -v -count=1
+go test ./internal/service/ -run TestConcurrent -v -count=1
+
+# Full suite verification
+go test -race ./internal/service/... ./internal/api/handler/... ./internal/api/middleware/... ./internal/scheduler/... ./internal/connector/... ./internal/domain/... ./internal/validation/... -count=1 -timeout 300s
+go vet ./...
+cd web && npx vitest run
+```
+
+## Final CI Gate
+
+After all tests pass locally, verify the full CI pipeline would pass:
+
+```bash
+# Coverage check
+go test ./internal/service/... ./internal/api/handler/... ./internal/api/middleware/... ./internal/integration/... ./internal/connector/issuer/... ./internal/connector/target/... ./internal/connector/notifier/... ./internal/mcp/... ./internal/cli/... ./internal/domain/... ./internal/validation/... -count=1 -cover -coverprofile=coverage.out
+
+# Check thresholds
+go tool cover -func=coverage.out | grep 'internal/service' | awk '{print $NF}' | sed 's/%//' | awk '{sum+=$1; n++} END {printf "Service: %.1f%%\n", sum/n}'
+go tool cover -func=coverage.out | grep 'internal/api/handler' | awk '{print $NF}' | sed 's/%//' | awk '{sum+=$1; n++} END {printf "Handler: %.1f%%\n", sum/n}'
+go tool cover -func=coverage.out | grep 'internal/domain' | awk '{print $NF}' | sed 's/%//' | awk '{sum+=$1; n++} END {printf "Domain: %.1f%%\n", sum/n}'
+
+# Targets: service >= 60%, handler >= 60%, domain >= 40%
+```
+
+---
+
+## What NOT To Do
+
+- Do NOT modify any production code (only test files)
+- Do NOT add new dependencies to go.mod
+- Do NOT create mocks that duplicate existing ones in testutil_test.go — reuse them
+- Do NOT use `testing.Short()` skips — all these tests should run in CI
+- Do NOT use `time.Sleep` for synchronization — use channels, WaitGroups, or atomic counters
+- Do NOT write tests that are flaky due to timing — if testing scheduler loops, use generous timeouts and verify "at least 1 call" rather than exact counts

+
+### CI Pipeline
+
+Every push runs (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`):
+
+- `go vet ./...`
+- `golangci-lint` (11 linters including gosec, bodyclose, errcheck)
+- `govulncheck` (dependency CVE scanning)
+- `go test -race` (race detection across service, handler, middleware, scheduler, connector, domain, validation)
+- `go test -cover` with per-layer thresholds (service 55%, handler 60%, domain 40%, middleware 30%)
+- Frontend: `tsc --noEmit`, `vitest run`, `vite build`
+
+### What's Well-Tested
+
+**Service layer** — renewal flows (server + agent keygen modes), revocation (all 8 RFC 5280 reasons), CRL/OCSP generation, discovery (process report, claim, dismiss, summary), network scan (CIDR expansion, validation, CRUD), stats (5 aggregations), EST enrollment (GetCACerts, SimpleEnroll/ReEnroll, CSRAttrs), export (PEM split, PKCS#12 encoding), verification (record/get results), issuer adapter (issue, renew, revoke with EKU forwarding).
+
+**Handler layer** — all 12 resource handlers tested with success paths, 404/400/405/500 error paths, input validation (required fields, type checks, JSON parsing), query parameter parsing (pagination, filters, sort, cursor, sparse fields). CRUD endpoints, revocation, CRL, OCSP, EST, export, verification handlers all covered.
+
+**Connectors** — Local CA (self-signed, sub-CA with RSA/ECDSA, renewal, config validation), ACME DNS solver (present, cleanup, DNS-PERSIST-01), step-ca (issue, renew, revoke via mock HTTP), OpenSSL (config validation, script execution, timeout), Traefik (file write, directory validation), Caddy (API mode, file mode, config validation), all 4 notifiers (webhook payloads, HTTP errors, auth headers, config defaults).
+
+**Validation** — shell injection prevention with 80+ adversarial patterns (fuzz tests), domain validation, ACME token validation.
+
+**Frontend** — 107 Vitest tests: all API client functions (certificates, agents, jobs, policies, profiles, owners, teams, agent groups, discovery, network scans, stats, metrics, export, health), utility functions (date formatting, time-ago, expiry color), both happy path and some error scenarios.
+
+---
+
+## Test Gap Analysis
+
+### P0 — Critical Gaps (Production Risk)
+
+**1. No tests for `service/deployment.go`** — deployment orchestration (creating deployment jobs, target resolution, deployment execution) is completely untested. This is the core path that actually puts certificates onto servers.
+- Missing: `CreateDeploymentJobs`, `ProcessDeploymentJob`, target connector dispatch
+- Risk: silent deployment failures, wrong cert deployed to wrong target
+- Effort: 15-20 test functions, 1-2 days
+
+**2. Agent binary (`cmd/agent/main.go`) largely untested** — only `verify.go` has tests. The agent's registration, heartbeat loop, work polling, CSR generation, discovery scanning, and deployment execution have no automated tests.
+- Missing: heartbeat error handling, CSR generation edge cases, deployment with local keys, discovery scan error paths
+- Risk: agent fails silently in production, key material handling bugs
+- Effort: significant — needs mock control plane HTTP server, 3-5 days
+- Mitigation: the manual testing guide below covers these flows
+
+**3. `service/target.go` untested** — target CRUD operations (Create, List, Get, Update, Delete) have service-layer tests missing.
+- Risk: target configuration errors not caught
+- Effort: 8-10 test functions, 0.5 days
+
+**4. Scheduler loop execution untested** — `scheduler_test.go` only tests startup and graceful shutdown. The 6 actual loops (renewal check, job processing, health check, notifications, short-lived expiry, network scanning) are not tested for correct execution behavior.
+- Risk: scheduler silently stops processing without detection
+- Effort: complex — needs time manipulation and mock services, 2-3 days
+
+### P1 — High-Priority Gaps
+
+**5. `CompleteAgentCSRRenewal()` not tested** — this is the critical path where agent-submitted CSRs are signed by the issuer. EKU resolution from profiles, deployment job creation after signing, and CSR validation are all untested at the service layer.
+- Effort: 5-8 test functions, 1 day
+
+**6. `ExpireShortLivedCertificates()` not tested** — scheduler operation that marks short-lived certs as expired. No test coverage.
+- Effort: 3-4 test functions, 0.5 days
+
+**7. Domain models mostly untested** — only `revocation.go`, `discovery.go`, and `verification.go` have test files. Missing: `job.go` (state machine transitions), `certificate.go` (status validation), `agent_group.go` (MatchesAgent criteria), `notification.go`, `policy.go`.
+- Effort: 20-30 test functions across 5 files, 2-3 days
+
+**8. Handler gaps** — `UpdateAgentGroup`, `UpdateIssuer`, `GetNetworkScanTarget`, `UpdateNetworkScanTarget` are untested handler methods.
+- Effort: ~12 test functions, 0.5 days
+
+### P2 — Medium-Priority Gaps
+
+**9. Frontend: zero component/page render tests** — no React component tests exist. All 22 pages and 8 shared components are untested for rendering, user interaction, modal behavior, and form validation.
+- Risk: UI regressions go undetected
+- Effort: significant — needs React Testing Library setup, 3-5 days for core pages
+
+**10. Frontend: weak error handling tests** — only 13 of 78 API functions have error scenario tests. Missing: 404 errors, network timeouts, 429 rate limiting, malformed JSON responses.
+- Effort: 1-2 days
+
+**11. Context cancellation / timeout tests** — no service or handler tests verify correct behavior when contexts are cancelled or time out. Long-running operations (network scan, EST enrollment) should gracefully handle cancellation.
+- Effort: 1-2 days
+
+**12. Concurrent operation tests** — two simultaneous revocations of the same certificate, concurrent discovery reports from multiple agents, parallel deployment jobs. Race detector catches some of this but not logic bugs.
+- Effort: 1-2 days
+
+### Docker Compose Bug Found During Audit
+
+**`migrations/000008_verification.up.sql` is NOT mounted in `deploy/docker-compose.yml`**. The verification migration exists on disk but the Docker Compose file only mounts migrations 000001-000007. This means the demo environment is missing the `verification_status`, `verified_at`, `verification_fingerprint`, and `verification_error` columns on the jobs table.
+
+Fix: add to docker-compose.yml:
+```yaml
+- ../migrations/000008_verification.up.sql:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/008_verification.sql
+```
+
+---
+
+## Manual Testing Guide
+
+This guide covers end-to-end manual validation of all certctl features against the Docker Compose demo environment. Use this for v2.1 release validation.
+
+### Setup
+
+```bash
+# Clean start (removes old data)
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml down -v
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml up -d --build
+
+# Wait for healthy
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml ps
+# All three services should show "Up (healthy)" or "Up"
+
+# Verify
+curl -s http://localhost:8443/health | jq .
+# {"status":"healthy"}
+```
+
+### 1. Dashboard & Navigation
+
+| # | Test | Steps | Expected |
+|---|------|-------|----------|

+
+# Get CSR attributes
+curl -s http://localhost:8443/.well-known/est/csrattrs
+
+# Simple enroll (requires a valid CSR in base64 DER or PEM format)
+# Generate a test CSR:
+openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout /tmp/test.key -subj "/CN=test.example.com" | \
+  base64 -w0 | \
+  curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8443/.well-known/est/simpleenroll \

+```
+
+### 12. CLI Tool
+
+```bash
+# Build CLI (requires Go)
+go build -o certctl-cli ./cmd/cli/
+
+# Configure
+export CERTCTL_SERVER_URL=http://localhost:8443
+
+# Test all subcommands
+./certctl-cli health

+```
+
+### 13. Auth Flow (requires restart with auth enabled)
+
+```bash
+# Restart with auth
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml down
+CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=api-key CERTCTL_AUTH_SECRET=test-secret-key \
+  docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml up -d --build

+# Why certctl?
+
+Certificate management is broken at every scale between "one domain on Let's Encrypt" and "Fortune 500 budget for Venafi."
+
+If you run a personal blog, Certbot works fine. If your company spends $200K/year on Keyfactor, you're covered. But if you're an ops engineer managing 20-500 certificates across NGINX, Apache, HAProxy, and maybe a private CA — the tools available today either don't do enough or cost too much.
+
+certctl fills that gap.
+
+## The Problem
+
+The CA/Browser Forum passed [Ballot SC-081v3](https://cabforum.org/2025/04/11/ballot-sc081v3-introduce-schedule-of-reducing-validity-and-data-reuse-periods/) in April 2025, mandating a phased reduction in TLS certificate lifetimes: 200 days as of March 2026, 100 days by March 2027, and 47 days by March 2029. That means every organization needs automated certificate renewal — not eventually, but now.
+
+The existing options for automation are:
+
+- **ACME clients** (Certbot, Lego, CertWarden): Handle issuance and renewal for ACME-compatible CAs, but don't manage deployment to target servers, don't provide inventory visibility, don't support non-ACME CAs, and don't offer audit trails or policy enforcement.
+- **Kubernetes-native** (cert-manager): Works well inside Kubernetes, but if your infrastructure includes bare-metal servers, VMs, or network appliances alongside Kubernetes, you need a separate solution for everything cert-manager can't reach.
+- **Commercial SaaS** (CertKit, Sectigo CLM): Handle more of the lifecycle but are proprietary, cloud-dependent, and priced per certificate — costs scale linearly with your infrastructure.
+- **Enterprise platforms** (Venafi, Keyfactor, AppViewX): Comprehensive but start at $75K/year and require dedicated teams to operate.
+
+## What certctl Does Differently
+
+certctl is a self-hosted certificate lifecycle platform. It handles issuance, renewal, deployment, revocation, discovery, and monitoring — with three design decisions that no other tool at any price point combines:
+
+### 1. Private Keys Never Leave Your Infrastructure
+
+certctl agents generate private keys locally using ECDSA P-256. The agent creates a CSR and submits it to the control plane. The signed certificate comes back. The private key stays on the agent's filesystem with 0600 permissions.
+
+This isn't a premium feature — it's the default behavior in the free tier. Most competitors either generate keys server-side (creating a single point of compromise) or gate key isolation behind paid tiers.
+
+### 2. CA-Agnostic Issuer Architecture
+
+certctl works with any certificate authority, not just ACME providers:
+
+- **ACME** (Let's Encrypt, ZeroSSL, Google Trust Services, Buypass) — HTTP-01 and DNS-01 challenges, DNS-PERSIST-01 for zero-touch renewals, External Account Binding
+- **step-ca** (Smallstep) — native /sign API with JWK provisioner authentication
+- **Local CA** — self-signed or sub-CA mode (chain to your enterprise root CA, e.g. ADCS)
+- **OpenSSL / Custom CA** — delegate signing to any shell script with configurable timeout
+- **EST enrollment** (RFC 7030) — device certificate enrollment for WiFi/802.1X, MDM, and IoT
+
+Every issuer connector implements the same interface. Switching CAs or running multiple CAs in parallel requires zero code changes — just configuration.
+
+### 3. Post-Deployment Verification
+
+Every other tool in this space stops at "the deployment command succeeded." certctl goes further: after deploying a certificate to a target, the agent connects back to the target's TLS endpoint and verifies the served certificate matches what was deployed, using SHA-256 fingerprint comparison.
+
+A reload command can exit 0 while the certificate doesn't take effect — wrong virtual host, stale cache, config that validates but doesn't apply. certctl catches this.
+
+## How certctl Compares
+
+### vs. CertKit
+
+Closest competitor architecturally — agent-based, private key isolation (Keystore), multi-platform. certctl leads on issuer coverage (ACME + step-ca + Local CA + OpenSSL + EST vs. ACME-only), PKI compliance (CRL, OCSP, RFC 5280 revocation, immutable audit trail — all missing from CertKit today), policy engine (5 rule types vs. none), and network discovery (CIDR TLS scanning vs. none). certctl is source-available (BSL 1.1 → Apache 2.0) with no cert limit; CertKit is proprietary SaaS with a 3-cert free tier. Where CertKit leads: more deployment targets today (adds LiteSpeed, IIS, auto-detection), Windows support, Kubernetes, and polished SaaS onboarding.
+
+### vs. KeyTalk
+
+Commercial (proprietary) PKI platform from a Dutch company — on-prem appliance, cloud, or managed service. Broader cert type coverage (TLS, S/MIME, device auth, VPN) and DigiCert + SCEP integrations. No public documentation on policy engine, API surface, or audit capabilities. No free tier, no public pricing. certctl trades breadth of cert types for full transparency — source-available, public API spec, free community edition with no limits.
+
+### vs. Enterprise Platforms (Venafi, Keyfactor)
+
+Comprehensive solutions with decades of features — at $75K-$250K+/yr. certctl targets organizations that need 80% of those capabilities at 1% of the cost. The trade-off: no SSO/RBAC yet (coming in certctl Pro), no F5/IIS target connectors yet, no SLA-backed support.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+```bash
+# Clone and start with Docker Compose (includes demo data)
+git clone https://github.com/shankar0123/certctl.git
+cd certctl/deploy
+docker compose up -d
+
+# Open the dashboard
+open http://localhost:8443
+```
+
+The demo seeds 15 certificates, 5 agents, 5 deployment targets, discovery data, network scan targets, and pending approval jobs so you can explore every feature immediately.
+
