feat(V2.2): bulk revocation — filter-based fleet-wide certificate revocation

Add POST /api/v1/certificates/bulk-revoke with filter criteria (profile_id,
owner_id, agent_id, issuer_id, team_id, certificate_ids), partial-failure
tolerance, and audit trail. Includes MCP tool, CLI command (certs bulk-revoke),
server-side bulk modal in GUI replacing client-side sequential loop, OpenAPI
spec, compliance mapping updates, and 21 new tests (12 service, 7 handler,
1 CLI, 1 frontend).

-## Why certctl Exists
+| Guide | Description |
-
+|-------|-------------|
-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, IIS on Windows, 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.

-
+| [Concepts](docs/concepts.md) | TLS certificates explained from scratch — for beginners who know nothing about certs |
-certctl fills that gap. It's **CA-agnostic** — plug in any certificate authority: Let's Encrypt via ACME, Smallstep step-ca, HashiCorp Vault PKI, DigiCert CertCentral, your enterprise ADCS via sub-CA mode, or any custom CA through a shell script adapter. Run multiple issuers simultaneously for different certificate types.

+| [Docker Compose Environments](deploy/ENVIRONMENTS.md) | Service-by-service walkthrough of all 4 compose files, env var reference |
-It's **target-agnostic**. Agents deploy certificates to NGINX, Apache, HAProxy, Traefik, Caddy, Envoy, Postfix, Dovecot, and IIS (local PowerShell or remote WinRM) — all using the same pluggable connector model. 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.

-
-- **Certificates renew and deploy themselves.** The scheduler monitors expiration, creates renewal jobs, issues certificates through your CA, and deploys them to target servers — all without human intervention. ACME ARI (RFC 9702) lets your CA tell certctl exactly when to renew.
-
-- **You see everything in one place.** A 25-page operational dashboard shows every certificate across every server: status, ownership, expiration timeline, deployment history with TLS verification, discovery triage, and real-time agent fleet health. Bulk operations (renew, revoke, reassign) work across selections.
-
-- **Private keys never leave your servers.** Agents generate ECDSA P-256 keys locally and submit only the CSR. The control plane never touches private keys. Post-deployment TLS verification confirms the right certificate is actually being served.
-
-- **Discover what you don't know about.** Agents scan filesystems for existing PEM/DER certificates. The network scanner probes TLS endpoints across CIDR ranges without requiring agents. Both feed into a triage workflow where you claim, dismiss, or import discovered certificates.
-
-- **Everything is auditable.** Immutable append-only audit trail records every lifecycle action, every API call, and every approval decision. Certificate digest emails deliver daily briefings. Prometheus metrics endpoint for Grafana dashboards.
-
-- **Multiple interfaces for different workflows.** REST API (97 endpoints) for automation, CLI for scripting, MCP server for AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf), EST server (RFC 7030) for device enrollment, Helm chart for Kubernetes, and the web dashboard for day-to-day operations.

+
+## Why certctl
+
+Certificate lifecycle tooling falls into two camps: enterprise platforms (Venafi, Keyfactor) that cost six figures and take months to deploy, or single-purpose tools (certbot, cert-manager) that handle one slice of the problem. certctl fills the gap — full lifecycle automation, self-hosted, free, CA-agnostic, and target-agnostic. If you're running certbot cron jobs, manually renewing certs, or stitching together scripts across mixed infrastructure, certctl replaces all of that.
+
+Built for **platform engineering and DevOps teams** managing 10–500+ certificates, **security and compliance teams** who need audit trails and policy enforcement for SOC 2, PCI-DSS 4.0, or NIST SP 800-57 ([compliance mapping included](docs/compliance.md)), and **small teams without enterprise budgets** who need Venafi-grade automation for a 50-server environment. For a detailed comparison, see [Why certctl?](docs/why-certctl.md)
+
+**Architecture.** Go 1.25 control plane with handler→service→repository layering, PostgreSQL 16 backend (21 tables), and a pull-only deployment model — the server never initiates outbound connections. Agents poll for work. For network appliances and agentless servers, a proxy agent in the same network zone handles deployment via the target's API (WinRM, iControl REST, SSH/SFTP). Background scheduler runs 7 loops: renewal with ARI integration (1h), job processing (30s), agent health (2m), notifications (1m), short-lived cert expiry (30s), network scanning (6h), certificate digest (24h). See [Architecture Guide](docs/architecture.md) for full system diagrams.
+
+**Security-first.** Agents generate ECDSA P-256 keys locally — private keys never touch the control plane. API key auth enforced by default with SHA-256 hashing and constant-time comparison. CORS deny-by-default. Shell injection prevention on all connector scripts. SSRF protection (reserved IP filtering) on the network scanner. Atomic idempotency guards on scheduler loops. Issuer and target credentials encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Every API call recorded to an immutable audit trail with actor attribution, body hash, and latency tracking. CI runs race detection, 11 linters, and vulnerability scanning on every commit.
+
+**Key design decisions.** TEXT primary keys — human-readable prefixed IDs (`mc-api-prod`, `t-platform`, `o-alice`) so you can identify resources at a glance in logs and queries. Idempotent migrations (`IF NOT EXISTS`, `ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING`) safe for repeated execution. Dynamic configuration via GUI with AES-256-GCM encrypted credential storage and env var backward compatibility. Handlers define their own service interfaces for clean dependency inversion.
+
+## What It Does
+
+**Automated lifecycle.** Certificates renew and deploy themselves. The scheduler monitors expiration, issues through your CA, and deploys to targets — zero human intervention. ACME ARI (RFC 9773) lets the CA direct renewal timing. Ready for 47-day (SC-081v3) and 6-day (Let's Encrypt shortlived) certificate lifetimes.
+
+**Operational dashboard.** 26-page GUI covers the entire lifecycle: certificate inventory with bulk ops, deployment timeline with rollback, discovery triage, network scan management, agent fleet health, short-lived credential countdown, approval workflows, and observability metrics. Configure issuers and targets from the dashboard — no env var editing, no server restarts.
+
+**Private keys stay on your servers.** Agents generate ECDSA P-256 keys locally, submit only the CSR. The control plane never touches private keys. After deployment, agents probe the live TLS endpoint and compare SHA-256 fingerprints to confirm the right certificate is actually being served.
+
+**Discovery.** Agents scan filesystems for existing PEM/DER certificates. The network scanner probes TLS endpoints across CIDR ranges without agents. Cloud discovery finds certificates in AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, and GCP Secret Manager. Continuous TLS health monitoring tracks endpoint status (healthy/degraded/down/cert_mismatch) with configurable thresholds and historical probe data. All discovery modes feed into a unified triage workflow — claim, dismiss, or import what you find.
+
+**Policy engine.** Certificate profiles constrain key types, max TTL, and EKUs — with crypto policy enforcement that validates every CSR against profile rules before it reaches the issuer. MaxTTL caps are enforced per issuer connector. Approval workflows pause jobs for human review. Ownership tracking routes notifications to the right team. Agent groups match devices by OS, architecture, IP CIDR, and version.
+
+**Enrollment protocols.** EST server (RFC 7030) for device and WiFi enrollment. SCEP server (RFC 8894) for MDM platforms and network devices. S/MIME issuance with email protection EKU.
+
+**Revocation.** Single and bulk revocation (by profile, owner, agent, or issuer). DER-encoded X.509 CRL per issuer, signed by the issuing CA. Embedded OCSP responder. RFC 5280 reason codes. Short-lived certs (TTL < 1 hour) are exempt — expiry is sufficient revocation.
+
+**Audit and observability.** Immutable append-only audit trail records every lifecycle action, every API call, and every approval decision. Prometheus metrics endpoint. Scheduled certificate digest emails. Continuous endpoint health monitoring with state machine transitions and real-time alerts.
+
+**Notifications.** Slack, Teams, PagerDuty, OpsGenie, SMTP, webhooks. Routed by certificate owner. Daily digest emails with stats and expiring certs.
+
+**Multiple interfaces.** REST API (111 routes), CLI (12 commands), MCP server (80 tools for Claude, Cursor, Windsurf), Helm chart, web dashboard. Certificate export in PEM and PKCS#12.
+

-## Architecture
-
-**Control plane** (Go 1.25 net/http) → **PostgreSQL 16** (21 tables, TEXT primary keys) → **Agents** (key generation, CSR submission, cert deployment). For Windows servers without a local agent, a proxy agent in the same network zone handles deployment via WinRM. Background scheduler runs 7 loops: renewal checks (1h), job processing (30s), agent health (2m), notifications (1m), short-lived cert expiry (30s), network scanning (6h), certificate digest (24h). See [Architecture Guide](docs/architecture.md) for full system diagrams and data flow.
-
-### Key Design Decisions
-
-- **Private keys isolated from the control plane.** Agents generate ECDSA P-256 keys locally and submit CSRs (public key only). The server signs the CSR and returns the certificate — private keys never touch the control plane. Server-side keygen is available via `CERTCTL_KEYGEN_MODE=server` for demo/development only.
-- **TEXT primary keys, not UUIDs.** IDs are human-readable prefixed strings (`mc-api-prod`, `t-platform`, `o-alice`) so you can identify resource types at a glance in logs and queries.
-- **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.

-## Security
-
-certctl is designed with a security-first architecture. Agents generate ECDSA P-256 keys locally — private keys never touch the control plane. API key auth is enforced by default with SHA-256 hashing and constant-time comparison. CORS is deny-by-default. All connector scripts are validated against shell injection. The network scanner filters reserved IP ranges (SSRF protection). Scheduler loops use atomic idempotency guards. Every API call is recorded to an immutable audit trail with actor attribution, SHA-256 body hash, and latency tracking. See the [Architecture Guide](docs/architecture.md) for the full security model.

+
+## Prerequisites
+
+You need two things: **Docker** (the container runtime) and **Docker Compose** (an orchestration tool that ships with Docker Desktop).
+
+On macOS:
+```bash
+brew install --cask docker
+```
+
+On Linux (Ubuntu/Debian):
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh
+sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
+# Log out and back in for group changes to take effect
+```
+
+Verify the install:
+```bash
+docker --version        # Docker Engine 24+ recommended
+docker compose version  # Docker Compose v2+ required (note: no hyphen)
+```
+
+**What Docker actually does:** Docker packages an application and all its dependencies (OS libraries, runtimes, config files) into an isolated unit called a container. When you run `docker compose up`, Docker reads a YAML file that describes multiple containers, creates a private network between them, and starts everything in the right order. Each container sees only its own filesystem and network unless you explicitly share volumes or ports.
+
+**Why this matters for certctl:** Instead of installing PostgreSQL, building Go binaries, configuring the agent, and wiring everything together by hand, one command gives you the complete platform. Each compose file targets a different use case.
+
+---
+
+## How Docker Compose Works
+
+A compose file defines **services** (containers), **networks** (how they talk to each other), and **volumes** (persistent storage). The key concepts:
+
+**Services** are named containers. `certctl-server` is the API and web dashboard. `postgres` is the database. `certctl-agent` polls the server for certificate work.
+
+**Depends_on + healthchecks** control startup order. The server won't start until PostgreSQL reports healthy. The agent won't start until the server reports healthy. This prevents connection errors during boot.
+
+**Volumes** persist data across restarts. `postgres_data` keeps your database between `docker compose down` and `docker compose up`. Adding `-v` to `down` deletes volumes for a clean slate.
+
+**Overlay files** let you layer changes. Running `docker compose -f base.yml -f overlay.yml up` merges both files. The overlay can add services, change environment variables, or mount extra volumes without editing the base.
+
+**Port mapping** (`"8443:8443"`) maps host port (left) to container port (right). After startup, `http://localhost:8443` on your machine reaches the certctl server inside its container.
+
+---
+
+## Base Environment
+
+**File:** `docker-compose.yml`
+**When to use:** Production deployments, first-time setup, or any time you want a clean dashboard with the onboarding wizard.
+
+### What it runs
+
+Three services on a private bridge network:
+
+| Service | Image | Purpose | Ports |
+|---------|-------|---------|-------|
+| `postgres` | `postgres:16-alpine` | Database. Stores certificates, agents, jobs, audit trail, policies, discovery results. | 5432 |
+| `certctl-server` | Built from `Dockerfile` | API server + web dashboard + background scheduler. | 8443 |
+| `certctl-agent` | Built from `Dockerfile.agent` | Polls server for work, generates keys, deploys certificates, discovers existing certs. | none |
+
+### Starting it
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/shankar0123/certctl.git
+cd certctl
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml up -d --build
+```
+
+`--build` compiles the Go server and agent from source, including the React frontend. Without it, Docker may reuse a stale image from a previous build.
+
+`-d` runs in detached mode (background). Omit it to see logs in your terminal.
+
+Wait about 30 seconds, then verify:
+```bash
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml ps
+# All three services should show "Up (healthy)"
+
+curl http://localhost:8443/health
+# {"status":"healthy"}
+```
+
+Open **http://localhost:8443** in your browser. You'll see the onboarding wizard guiding you through: connecting a CA, deploying an agent, and adding your first certificate.
+
+### Service-by-service walkthrough
+
+#### PostgreSQL
+
+```yaml
+postgres:
+  image: postgres:16-alpine
+  environment:
+    POSTGRES_DB: certctl
+    POSTGRES_USER: certctl
+    POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ${POSTGRES_PASSWORD:-certctl}
+```
+
+Alpine-based PostgreSQL 16. The `${POSTGRES_PASSWORD:-certctl}` syntax means: use the `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` environment variable from your shell if set, otherwise default to `certctl`. For production, create a `.env` file:
+
+```bash
+echo 'POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your-secure-password-here' > deploy/.env
+```
+
+The `volumes` section mounts 10 migration files into PostgreSQL's init directory (`/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/`). PostgreSQL runs these SQL files in alphabetical order on first boot only. They create the schema (tables, indexes, constraints) and seed the base data (default issuer, default policy). If the `postgres_data` volume already exists with an initialized database, these scripts are skipped entirely.
+
+**Expert note:** The numbered prefix pattern (`001_`, `002_`, ..., `020_`) ensures deterministic execution order. All migrations use `IF NOT EXISTS` and `ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING` for idempotency, so re-running them against an existing database is safe.
+
+#### certctl Server
+
+```yaml
+certctl-server:
+  depends_on:
+    postgres:
+      condition: service_healthy
+  environment:
+    CERTCTL_DATABASE_URL: postgres://certctl:${POSTGRES_PASSWORD:-certctl}@postgres:5432/certctl?sslmode=disable
+    CERTCTL_SERVER_HOST: 0.0.0.0
+    CERTCTL_SERVER_PORT: 8443
+    CERTCTL_LOG_LEVEL: info
+    CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE: none
+    CERTCTL_KEYGEN_MODE: server
+    CERTCTL_NETWORK_SCAN_ENABLED: "true"
+    CERTCTL_CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY: ${CERTCTL_CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY:-change-me-32-char-encryption-key}
+```
+
+The server is the control plane. It serves the REST API, the React dashboard, runs 7 background scheduler loops (renewal, job processing, health checks, notifications, short-lived cert expiry, network scanning, digest emails), and manages the issuer/target registry.
+
+Key environment variables explained:
+
+- `CERTCTL_DATABASE_URL` references the `postgres` service by hostname. Docker's internal DNS resolves `postgres` to the container's IP on the bridge network. `sslmode=disable` is appropriate because traffic stays on the private Docker network.
+- `CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE: none` disables API key authentication so you can explore immediately. For production, set `api-key` and configure `CERTCTL_AUTH_SECRET`.
+- `CERTCTL_KEYGEN_MODE: server` means the server generates private keys. This is convenient for demos but insecure for production. In production, set `agent` so keys are generated on agent machines and never transmitted.
+- `CERTCTL_CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY` enables AES-256-GCM encryption for issuer and target configurations stored in the database (credentials, API keys). Without this, the dynamic configuration GUI (adding issuers/targets from the dashboard) won't encrypt sensitive fields. For production, generate a strong random key.
+- `CERTCTL_NETWORK_SCAN_ENABLED` activates the scheduler loop that probes TLS endpoints on your network to discover certificates you might not be managing.
+
+**Expert note:** The healthcheck hits `GET /health` every 10 seconds with 5 retries. The `depends_on: condition: service_healthy` on the agent means Docker holds agent startup until this check passes. Resource limits (`cpus: '1.0'`, `memory: 512M`) prevent the server from consuming unbounded resources in shared environments.
+
+#### certctl Agent
+
+```yaml
+certctl-agent:
+  depends_on:
+    certctl-server:
+      condition: service_healthy
+  environment:
+    CERTCTL_SERVER_URL: http://certctl-server:8443
+    CERTCTL_API_KEY: ${CERTCTL_API_KEY:-change-me-in-production}
+    CERTCTL_AGENT_NAME: docker-agent
+    CERTCTL_LOG_LEVEL: info
+    CERTCTL_DISCOVERY_DIRS: /var/lib/certctl/keys
+  volumes:
+    - agent_keys:/var/lib/certctl/keys
+```
+
+The agent is a lightweight Go binary that polls the server for pending work (certificate deployments, CSR generation requests), executes that work locally, and reports results back. It also scans configured directories for existing certificates (filesystem discovery).
+
+- `CERTCTL_SERVER_URL` uses the Docker internal hostname `certctl-server`. This resolves inside the Docker network only.
+- `CERTCTL_DISCOVERY_DIRS` tells the agent which directories to scan for existing certificates. The agent walks these directories recursively, parses PEM and DER files, and reports findings to the server for triage.
+- The `agent_keys` volume persists private keys generated by the agent across container restarts. Without this volume, keys would be lost when the container stops.
+
+**Expert note:** The agent's healthcheck uses `pgrep` because the agent doesn't expose an HTTP endpoint. The `restart: unless-stopped` policy means Docker automatically restarts the agent on crashes but respects manual `docker compose stop` commands.
+
+### Stopping and cleaning up
+
+```bash
+# Stop containers but keep data
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml down
+
+# Stop and delete all data (database, keys, volumes)
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml down -v
+```
+
+---
+
+## Demo Overlay
+
+**File:** `docker-compose.demo.yml`
+**When to use:** Demos, screenshots, stakeholder presentations, or any time you want a populated dashboard on first boot.
+
+### What it adds
+
+One line: mounts `seed_demo.sql` into PostgreSQL's init directory. This 667-line SQL file inserts 180 days of simulated operational history: teams, owners, certificates across multiple issuers, agents on different platforms, jobs with realistic timestamps, discovery scan results, audit events, policies, and profiles.
+
+### Starting it
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml -f deploy/docker-compose.demo.yml up -d --build
+```
+
+The `-f` flags are ordered: base first, overlay second. Docker merges them. The demo overlay adds the seed_demo.sql volume mount to the `postgres` service defined in the base file.
+
+### What you see
+
+The dashboard shows pre-populated charts: expiration heatmap with upcoming renewals, status distribution across Active/Expiring/Expired/Failed states, 30-day job trends, and issuance rates. The sidebar pages (Certificates, Agents, Discovery, Jobs, etc.) all have data to explore.
+
+### Resetting demo data
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml -f deploy/docker-compose.demo.yml down -v
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml -f deploy/docker-compose.demo.yml up -d --build
+```
+
+The `down -v` deletes the `postgres_data` volume. On next boot, PostgreSQL re-runs all init scripts including the demo seed, giving you a clean starting point.
+
+**Expert note:** The demo overlay is a pure data layer, not a configuration change. The server, agent, and their environment variables remain identical to the base. This means any behavior you see in the demo is exactly what the base environment produces once you populate data through normal operations.
+
+---
+
+## Development Overlay
+
+**File:** `docker-compose.dev.yml`
+**When to use:** When you're contributing to certctl and need debug logging, database inspection, or a debugger attached to the server process.
+
+### What it adds
+
+| Addition | Purpose |
+|----------|---------|
+| Debug-level logging on server and agent | See every HTTP request, scheduler tick, and connector operation |
+| PgAdmin on port 5050 | Visual database browser for inspecting tables, running queries |
+| Delve debugger port 40000 | Attach a Go debugger to the running server process |
+
+### Starting it
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml -f deploy/docker-compose.dev.yml up --build
+```
+
+Omit `-d` during development so you see logs streaming in your terminal.
+
+### Using PgAdmin
+
+Open **http://localhost:5050** in your browser. PgAdmin is pre-configured in desktop mode (no login required). To connect to the certctl database:
+
+1. Right-click "Servers" in the left panel, choose "Register" > "Server"
+2. Name: `certctl`
+3. Connection tab: Host = `postgres`, Port = `5432`, Username = `certctl`, Password = `certctl` (or whatever you set in `.env`)
+
+From there you can browse all 19 tables, inspect certificate records, view audit events, check the scheduler's job queue, and run arbitrary SQL.
+
+### Using the Delve debugger
+
+Port 40000 is exposed for remote debugging. To use it, you'd need to modify the Dockerfile to build with debug symbols and start the server under Delve:
+
+```bash
+# In Dockerfile, replace the CMD with:
+CMD ["dlv", "--listen=:40000", "--headless=true", "--api-version=2", "exec", "/app/server"]
+```
+
+Then attach from your IDE (VS Code, GoLand) using remote debug configuration pointing to `localhost:40000`.
+
+### Hot reload
+
+The dev overlay includes commented-out volume mounts for source code directories. Uncomment them and install [air](https://github.com/cosmtrek/air) to get automatic recompilation on file changes:
+
+```bash
+go install github.com/cosmtrek/air@latest
+```
+
+**Expert note:** The `builds: context: ..` in the dev overlay overrides the base service's image reference, forcing a local build from the repository root. This means changes to your Go source code are compiled fresh on each `docker compose up --build`.
+
+---
+
+## Test Environment
+
+**File:** `docker-compose.test.yml`
+**When to use:** Integration testing against real CA backends. This is a standalone environment (not an overlay) with 7 containers on a static-IP subnet.
+
+### What it runs
+
+| Service | IP | Purpose |
+|---------|----|---------|
+| `postgres` | 10.30.50.2 | Database (clean, no demo data) |
+| `pebble-challtestsrv` | 10.30.50.3 | DNS/HTTP challenge test server for Pebble |
+| `pebble` | 10.30.50.4 | ACME test server (simulates Let's Encrypt) |
+| `step-ca` | 10.30.50.5 | Private CA (Smallstep, JWK provisioner) |
+| `certctl-server` | 10.30.50.6 | Control plane with all issuers configured |
+| `nginx` | 10.30.50.7 | TLS target server for deployment testing |
+| `certctl-agent` | 10.30.50.8 | Agent with NGINX volume + discovery |
+
+### Why static IPs?
+
+Pebble (the ACME test server) validates HTTP-01 challenges by connecting to the challenge URL. It resolves domain names via `pebble-challtestsrv`, which is configured to return `10.30.50.6` (the certctl server) for all lookups. Without static IPs, container IPs would be assigned randomly on each boot, breaking the challenge validation chain.
+
+The `/24` subnet (10.30.50.0/24) provides 254 usable addresses, far more than needed but standard practice for test networks.
+
+### Starting it
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.test.yml up --build
+```
+
+Wait for all health checks to pass (about 60 seconds for step-ca's first-run bootstrap). Then:
+
+```bash
+# Dashboard with auth enabled
+open http://localhost:8443
+# API key: test-key-2026
+
+# NGINX serving a self-signed placeholder
+curl -k https://localhost:8444
+```
+
+### What's different from the base
+
+The test environment is configured for production-like behavior:
+
+- **API key auth enabled** (`CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE: api-key`, `CERTCTL_AUTH_SECRET: test-key-2026`). Every API request needs `Authorization: Bearer test-key-2026`.
+- **Agent-side key generation** (`CERTCTL_KEYGEN_MODE: agent`). The agent generates ECDSA P-256 keys locally and submits only the CSR to the server. Private keys never leave the agent container.
+- **Three real issuers configured:**
+  - **Local CA** (self-signed) for instant issuance testing
+  - **ACME via Pebble** for Let's Encrypt-compatible flow testing (HTTP-01 challenges validated through the challenge test server)
+  - **step-ca** for private CA testing with JWK provisioner authentication
+- **EST server enabled** (`CERTCTL_EST_ENABLED: "true"`) for RFC 7030 enrollment testing
+- **Post-deployment verification enabled** (`CERTCTL_VERIFY_DEPLOYMENT: "true"`) so the agent probes NGINX after deploying a cert and confirms the TLS fingerprint matches
+- **Dynamic config encryption enabled** (`CERTCTL_CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY`) so issuer/target configs added through the GUI are encrypted at rest
+- **TLS trust bootstrapping:** The server runs a `setup-trust.sh` entrypoint that fetches Pebble's root CA from its management API and copies step-ca's root cert from a shared volume, then runs `update-ca-certificates` before starting the server binary. This is necessary because both CAs use self-signed roots that aren't in Alpine's default trust store.
+
+### Running the Go integration tests
+
+The test environment is designed to support the Go integration test suite at `deploy/test/integration_test.go`:
+
+```bash
+# Start the environment
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.test.yml up --build -d
+
+# Wait for health checks
+sleep 30
+
+# Run integration tests (from repo root)
+go test -tags integration -v ./deploy/test/...
+```
+
+The integration tests exercise 12 phases: health, agent heartbeat, Local CA issuance, ACME issuance, renewal, step-ca issuance, revocation + CRL + OCSP, EST enrollment, S/MIME issuance, discovery, network scan, and deployment verification. PostgreSQL port 5432 is exposed so the test binary can query the database directly for assertions.
+
+See [docs/test-env.md](../docs/test-env.md) for the full walkthrough and manual QA procedures.
+
+### Stopping and cleaning up
+
+```bash
+# Stop but keep data (volumes persist)
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.test.yml down
+
+# Full reset (delete step-ca bootstrap, database, agent keys, NGINX certs)
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.test.yml down -v
+```
+
+**Expert note:** The step-ca container auto-bootstraps on first run: generates a root CA, creates a JWK provisioner named "admin" with password "password123", and writes everything to the `stepca_data` volume. Subsequent starts reuse this volume. If you `down -v`, the next boot generates a new root CA, which means all previously issued step-ca certs become untrusted.

+## Common Operations
+
+### Viewing logs
+
+```bash
+# All services
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml logs -f
+
+# Single service
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml logs -f certctl-server
+
+# Last 100 lines
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml logs --tail 100 certctl-server
+```
+
+### Rebuilding after code changes
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml up -d --build
+```
+
+Docker only rebuilds images that have changed source files. The `--build` flag is essential after editing Go code or frontend files.
+
+### Connecting to the database directly
+
+```bash
+docker exec -it certctl-postgres psql -U certctl -d certctl
+```
+
+Useful queries:
+```sql
+-- Certificate inventory
+SELECT id, common_name, status, expires_at FROM managed_certificates ORDER BY expires_at;
+
+-- Recent jobs
+SELECT id, type, status, certificate_id, created_at FROM jobs ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 20;
+
+-- Audit trail
+SELECT event_type, actor, resource_id, created_at FROM audit_events ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 20;
+
+-- Issuer configurations (encrypted_config is AES-256-GCM)
+SELECT id, type, source, enabled, test_status FROM issuers;
+```
+
+### Checking container resource usage
+
+```bash
+docker stats --no-stream
+```
+
+### Upgrading
+
+```bash
+git pull
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml up -d --build
+```
+
+Migrations are idempotent (`IF NOT EXISTS`), so upgrading to a version with new schema changes is safe. PostgreSQL only runs init scripts on first boot of a fresh volume, so new migrations in an upgrade require running them manually:
+
+```bash
+docker exec -i certctl-postgres psql -U certctl -d certctl < migrations/000011_new_feature.up.sql
+```
+
+Or, for a clean upgrade: `down -v` and `up --build` (loses existing data).

-**Profile enforcement:** If the certificate is assigned to a profile (`certificate_profile_id`), the profile's `allowed_key_algorithms` and `max_validity_days` constraints are checked during CSR validation. A CSR with a disallowed key type or a validity period exceeding the profile maximum is rejected before reaching the issuer connector.
+**Profile enforcement (M11c):** Crypto policy enforcement is wired into all four issuance paths: renewal (server-side and agent CSR), agent fallback CSR signing, EST enrollment (RFC 7030), and SCEP enrollment (RFC 8894). At each path, the service layer resolves the certificate's profile and calls `ValidateCSRAgainstProfile()` to check the CSR key algorithm and minimum key size against the profile's `allowed_key_algorithms` rules. A CSR with a disallowed key type or insufficient key size is rejected before reaching the issuer connector.
+
+**MaxTTL enforcement:** When a profile specifies `max_ttl_seconds`, the value is forwarded through the service-layer `IssuerConnector` interface to the connector layer via `MaxTTLSeconds` on `IssuanceRequest` and `RenewalRequest`. Each issuer connector enforces the cap according to its capabilities: the Local CA caps `NotAfter` directly, Vault overrides its TTL string, step-ca caps `NotAfter` with zero-value handling, and OpenSSL logs an advisory warning (script-based signing can't enforce server-side). For CAs that control validity themselves (ACME, DigiCert, Sectigo, Google CAS, AWS ACM PCA), MaxTTLSeconds passes through but the CA makes the final decision.
+
+**Key metadata persistence:** Certificate versions record `key_algorithm` and `key_size` extracted from the CSR during issuance. This metadata enables post-hoc auditing — operators can verify that all issued certificates comply with the key requirements in effect at the time of issuance.

+#### Bulk Revocation
+
+For compliance events requiring fleet-wide revocation (key compromise, CA distrust, mass decommission), certctl supports bulk revocation by filter criteria. The `POST /api/v1/certificates/bulk-revoke` endpoint accepts filter parameters (profile_id, owner_id, agent_id, issuer_id) and creates individual revocation jobs for each matching certificate. Bulk revocation reuses the same 7-step single-cert flow for each certificate — no new issuer notification or audit mechanics. The operation is idempotent: revoking an already-revoked certificate is a no-op. Partial failures are tolerated — if one certificate fails to revoke (e.g., issuer unavailable), the operation continues for remaining certs and returns a summary. A single `bulk_revocation_initiated` audit event logs the operation with filter criteria, operator actor, and summary (total requested, succeeded, failed counts). Audit events for individual certificate revocations record the operator identity separately. The GUI bulk revoke button on the certificates list filters by visible selections and displays an affected-cert count modal before confirmation.

+Signed certificate returned as PKCS#7 certs-only
+```
+
+**Wire format:** SCEP clients wrap CSRs in PKCS#7 SignedData envelopes. The handler parses the outer ASN.1 ContentInfo → SignedData → EncapsulatedContentInfo to extract the CSR bytes. Fallback paths handle base64-encoded PKCS#7 and raw CSR submissions (for simpler clients). Responses use PKCS#7 certs-only via the shared `internal/pkcs7` package (same as EST). Single certs are returned as raw DER for `GetCACert`, chains as PKCS#7.
+
+**Authentication:** SCEP uses challenge passwords embedded in CSR attributes (OID 1.2.840.113549.1.9.7) rather than TLS client certificates. The server validates the challenge password against `CERTCTL_SCEP_CHALLENGE_PASSWORD`. When no challenge password is configured, any value is accepted.
+
+**Interface:** The `SCEPHandler` defines an `SCEPService` interface (dependency inversion):
+
+```go
+type SCEPService interface {
+    GetCACaps(ctx context.Context) string
+    GetCACert(ctx context.Context) (string, error)
+    PKCSReq(ctx context.Context, csrPEM string, challengePassword string, transactionID string) (*domain.SCEPEnrollResult, error)
+}
+```
+
+**Shared PKCS#7 package:** Both EST and SCEP handlers share a common `internal/pkcs7` package for building PKCS#7 certs-only responses and PEM-to-DER chain conversion, eliminating code duplication between the two enrollment protocols.
+
+**Audit:** Every SCEP enrollment is recorded in the audit trail with `protocol: "SCEP"`, the CN, SANs, issuer ID, serial number, transaction ID, and optional profile ID.

+## Continuous TLS Health Monitoring (M48)
+
+Beyond one-time discovery, certctl continuously monitors TLS endpoints for certificate health using a shared TLS probing package and a state-machine-driven health check service. Endpoints transition between states (Healthy → Degraded → Down) based on consecutive failures, and `cert_mismatch` status alerts when a deployed certificate is unexpectedly replaced.
+
+**Architecture:** Probing is extracted into a shared `internal/tlsprobe/` package used by both the network scanner (M21) and the health monitor. The `HealthCheckService` manages 8 API endpoints for CRUD operations and state transitions. A dedicated 8th scheduler loop runs every 60 seconds (configurable via `CERTCTL_HEALTH_CHECK_INTERVAL`). Individual health check targets have their own check intervals (default 300 seconds) — the scheduler queries only endpoints due for check via `ListDueForCheck()`. Results are stored with historical tracking for 30 days (configurable via `CERTCTL_HEALTH_CHECK_HISTORY_RETENTION`). State transitions trigger notifications (critical for down endpoints, warning for degraded, high for cert_mismatch).
+
+**State Machine:** Healthy → Degraded (configurable threshold, default 2 consecutive failures) → Down (default 5 failures). The `cert_mismatch` status is special — it fires whenever the observed certificate fingerprint differs from the expected (deployed) fingerprint, catching silent rollbacks and unauthorized cert replacements. Recovery from degraded/down transitions back to healthy and resets the failure counter.
+
+**API:** 8 endpoints for list (with filters: status, certificate_id, network_scan_target_id, enabled), get, create, update, delete, history (with limit param), acknowledge (incident marking), and summary (aggregate status counts).
+
+**Auto-Create:** When a deployment job completes with successful verification (M25), the system automatically creates a health check with the deployed certificate's fingerprint as the expected value. Network scan targets can also opt-in to auto-create health checks for discovered endpoints.
+
+**Configuration:**
+

 ## Testing Strategy
 
-certctl uses a layered testing approach aligned with the handler → service → repository architecture, with 1050+ tests across six layers (service, handler, integration, connector, frontend, and scheduler). The goal is high-confidence regression prevention at the service and handler layers, where the most complex business logic lives, combined with integration tests that exercise the full request path from HTTP to database.
+certctl is extensively tested across eight layers with CI-enforced coverage gates that act as regression floors. The goal is high-confidence regression prevention at the service and handler layers (where the most complex business logic lives), combined with integration tests that exercise the full request path from HTTP to database.
 
-**Service layer unit tests** (`internal/service/*_test.go`) — ~238 test functions across 15 files with mock repositories. These test all business logic in isolation: certificate CRUD with validation, certificate revocation (success, already-revoked, archived, invalid reason, all RFC 5280 reason codes, issuer notification, notification service integration, OCSP/CRL generation), agent lifecycle (registration, heartbeat, CSR submission with both keygen modes), job state machine (creation, processing, cancellation, retry logic), policy evaluation (all 5 rule types, violation creation), renewal and issuance flow (server-side and agent-side keygen paths), notification deduplication (threshold tag matching, channel routing), team/owner/agent group CRUD with pagination and audit recording, issuer service CRUD with connection testing, and the issuer connector adapter (type translation between connector and service layers including revocation). Mock repositories are simple structs with function fields, avoiding heavy mocking frameworks — this keeps tests readable and avoids coupling to mock library APIs.
+**Service layer unit tests** (`internal/service/*_test.go`) — Mock-based tests across all service files covering certificate CRUD, revocation (all RFC 5280 reason codes, OCSP/CRL generation, bulk revocation by filter with partial-failure tolerance), agent lifecycle, job state machine, policy evaluation, renewal/issuance flow (both keygen modes), notification deduplication, team/owner/agent group CRUD, issuer service CRUD with connection testing, and the issuer connector adapter. Mock repositories are simple structs with function fields — no heavy mocking frameworks.
 
-**Handler layer tests** (`internal/api/handler/*_test.go`) — ~257 test functions across 11 files using Go's `httptest` package. Every handler file has a corresponding test file: certificates (50 tests including revocation, DER CRL, and OCSP), agents (28 tests), jobs (21 tests including approve/reject), notifications (11 tests), policies (19 tests), profiles (18 tests), issuers (17 tests), targets (17 tests), agent groups (12 tests), teams (26 tests), and owners (21 tests). Each test file follows the same pattern: a mock service struct with function fields, `httptest.NewRecorder` for capturing responses, and a shared `contextWithRequestID()` helper. Tests cover the happy path, input validation (missing fields, invalid JSON, empty IDs, name length limits), error propagation from the service layer, method-not-allowed responses, and pagination parameters.
+**Handler layer tests** (`internal/api/handler/*_test.go`) — Every handler file has a corresponding test file using Go's `httptest` package: certificates (including revocation, bulk revocation by profile/owner/agent/issuer, DER CRL, OCSP), agents, jobs (including approve/reject), notifications, policies, profiles, issuers, targets, agent groups, teams, owners, discovery, network scan, verification, export, EST, digest, stats, and metrics. Tests cover the happy path, input validation, error propagation, method-not-allowed, pagination, and bulk operation partial-failure scenarios.
 
-**Integration tests** (`internal/integration/`) — Two test files exercising the full stack from HTTP request through router, handler, service, and postgres repository layers. `lifecycle_test.go` has 11 subtests covering the complete certificate lifecycle: team/owner creation, certificate creation, issuer verification, renewal trigger, job verification, agent registration, CSR submission, deployment, and status reporting. `negative_test.go` has 14 subtests covering error paths, 19 M11b endpoint tests, and 8 revocation endpoint tests (M15a+M15b): nonexistent resource lookups (404s), invalid request bodies (malformed JSON, missing required fields), invalid CSR submission, heartbeat for nonexistent agents, wrong HTTP methods on list endpoints, empty list responses, renewal on nonexistent certificates, expired certificate lifecycle, team/owner/agent group CRUD validation, revocation success, already-revoked rejection, not-found revocation, JSON CRL retrieval, DER CRL retrieval, OCSP response retrieval, and short-lived cert exemption. Both use a shared `setupTestServer()` that builds a fully-wired server with real postgres repositories and the Local CA issuer connector. A third file, `e2e_test.go`, contains 8 cross-milestone test functions with 48+ subtests that exercise features across milestones end-to-end: M10 agent metadata via heartbeat, M11 profiles/teams/owners/agent-groups CRUD, M12 issuer registry verification, M13 GUI operation endpoints, M14 stats and metrics, M15 revocation and CRL, M16 notification channels, and M20 enhanced query API (sorting, cursor pagination, sparse fields, time-range filters).
+**Integration tests** (`internal/integration/`) — Three test files exercising the full stack from HTTP request through router, handler, service, and repository layers. `lifecycle_test.go` covers the complete certificate lifecycle (team/owner creation through deployment and status reporting). `negative_test.go` covers error paths, endpoint validation, and revocation scenarios. `e2e_test.go` exercises cross-milestone features end-to-end (agent metadata, profiles, issuer registry, GUI operations, stats, revocation, notifications, enhanced query API).
 
-**Frontend tests** (`web/src/api/client.test.ts`, `web/src/api/utils.test.ts`) — 86 Vitest tests covering the API client, stats/metrics endpoints, and utility functions. The API client tests mock `globalThis.fetch` and verify all endpoint functions (certificates, agents, jobs, policies, issuers, targets, notifications, audit, stats, metrics, health) send correct HTTP methods, URLs, headers, and request bodies. They also test API key management (store/retrieve/clear), auth header propagation, 401 event dispatching, and error handling (server messages, error fields, status text fallback). The stats/metrics endpoint tests verify correct query parameter handling and response shape validation. The utility tests use `vi.useFakeTimers()` for deterministic date testing and cover `formatDate`, `formatDateTime`, `timeAgo`, `daysUntil`, and `expiryColor`. The test environment uses jsdom with `@testing-library/jest-dom` matchers.
+**Go integration tests** (`deploy/test/integration_test.go`) — Runs against the live Docker Compose test environment with real CA backends (Local CA, Pebble ACME, step-ca). Covers health checks, agent heartbeat, issuance, renewal, revocation, CRL/OCSP, EST enrollment, S/MIME, discovery, network scanning, and deployment verification using `crypto/x509` for cert parsing and `crypto/tls` for live TLS verification.
 
-**CLI tests** (`internal/cli/client_test.go`) — 14 tests covering all 10 CLI subcommands with httptest mock servers, PEM parsing for bulk import, auth header verification, and JSON/table output formatting.
+**Frontend tests** (`web/src/api/`) — Vitest tests covering the full API client (all endpoint functions with fetch mocking), stats/metrics endpoints, utility functions, and auth flows. Test environment uses jsdom with `@testing-library/jest-dom` matchers.
 
-**CI pipeline** (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`) — Two parallel jobs: Go (build, vet, race detection, static analysis, vulnerability scanning, test with coverage, coverage threshold enforcement) and Frontend (TypeScript type check, Vitest test suite, Vite production build). The Go job runs `go test -race` on service, handler, middleware, and scheduler packages to catch data races. It runs `golangci-lint` with 11 linters (errcheck, govet, staticcheck, unused, gosimple, ineffassign, typecheck, gocritic, gosec, bodyclose, noctx) configured in `.golangci.yml`. It runs `govulncheck ./...` to scan dependencies for known CVEs. Coverage thresholds are enforced per-layer: service 60%, handler 60%, domain 40%, middleware 50%. These thresholds act as regression floors — they can only go up. Connector tests are included via `./internal/connector/issuer/...` and `./internal/connector/target/...` (covers Local CA, ACME, step-ca, NGINX, Apache, HAProxy, Traefik, and Caddy packages with unit tests for certificate signing logic, DNS solver, issuer validation, and deployment flows). The Frontend job runs `npx vitest run` between the TypeScript check and production build steps.
+**Connector tests** (`internal/connector/`) — Issuer connectors (Local CA self-signed/sub-CA modes, ACME DNS-01/DNS-PERSIST-01, step-ca, OpenSSL, Vault PKI, DigiCert, Sectigo, Google CAS, AWS ACM PCA — all with httptest mock servers or injectable interface mocks). Target connectors (NGINX, Apache, HAProxy, Traefik, Caddy, Envoy, IIS with mock PowerShell executor, F5 BIG-IP with mock iControl client, Postfix/Dovecot, SSH with mock SSH client, Windows Certificate Store with mock PowerShell executor, Java Keystore with mock command executor, Kubernetes Secrets with mock K8s client, shared certutil package). Notifier connectors (Slack, Teams, PagerDuty, OpsGenie).
 
-**Connector tests** (`internal/connector/`) — 57 test functions covering issuer, target, and notifier connectors. The Local CA connector has tests for self-signed and sub-CA modes (RSA, ECDSA, config validation, non-CA cert rejection). The ACME DNS solver has 10 tests for script-based DNS-01 and DNS-PERSIST-01 challenges (6 DNS-01 tests + 4 DNS-PERSIST-01 tests covering `PresentPersist` success, no-script error, script failure, and wildcard domain handling). The step-ca connector has tests with a mock HTTP server for issuance, renewal, revocation, and error paths. The OpenSSL/Custom CA connector has 14 tests covering config validation, issuance success/failure/timeout, renewal, revocation, and CRL generation. The NGINX target connector has 13 tests covering config validation, certificate deployment (file writing, permissions, validate/reload commands), and deployment validation. Apache httpd and HAProxy connectors each have 3 tests covering config validation, deployment, and validation flows. Traefik and Caddy connectors have tests covering file-based deployment and (for Caddy) dual-mode API/file configuration. Notifier connector tests span 20 tests across Slack (5), Teams (4), PagerDuty (6), and OpsGenie (5) — verifying channel identity, payload formatting, HTTP error handling, connection failures, auth headers, and configuration defaults.
+**Scheduler tests** (`internal/scheduler/scheduler_test.go`) — Idempotency guards (`sync/atomic.Bool`), `WaitForCompletion` success and timeout paths, and multi-loop concurrency safety.
 
-**Scheduler tests** (`internal/scheduler/scheduler_test.go`) — Tests for idempotency guards (`sync/atomic.Bool` CompareAndSwap prevents concurrent loop ticks), `WaitForCompletion` success and timeout paths, and multi-loop idempotency.
+**Fuzz tests** (`internal/validation/`, `internal/domain/`) — Go native fuzz tests for command validation (`ValidateShellCommand`, `ValidateDomainName`, `ValidateACMEToken`) and revocation domain parsing.
 
-**Fuzz tests** (`internal/validation/command_fuzz_test.go`, `internal/domain/revocation_fuzz_test.go`) — Go native fuzz tests (`testing/fuzz`) for command validation functions and revocation domain parsing. These exercise `ValidateShellCommand`, `ValidateDomainName`, and `ValidateACMEToken` with random inputs to discover edge cases.
+**CI pipeline** (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`) — Two parallel jobs. Go: build, vet, `go test -race`, `golangci-lint` (11 linters), `govulncheck`, test with coverage, per-layer coverage threshold enforcement (service 55%, handler 60%, domain 40%, middleware 30%). Frontend: TypeScript type check, Vitest, Vite production build.
 
-**What's not tested and why:** Postgres repository implementations (`internal/repository/postgres/`) require a real database and are tested only through integration tests, not unit tests — a `testcontainers-go` scaffolding for isolated PostgreSQL instances is planned. Target connectors for F5 BIG-IP and IIS are interface stubs (implementation planned for V3). The ACME connector requires a real ACME server (tested manually against Let's Encrypt staging). These are all candidates for future expansion as the test infrastructure matures.

 **Graceful degradation:** If your CA doesn't support ARI (returns 404 from the ARI endpoint), certctl automatically falls back to the traditional threshold-based renewal. No configuration change needed — the fallback is transparent. Errors from the CA are logged as warnings and don't block the renewal process.
 
+### Shorter Certificate Validity (45-Day and 6-Day Certs)
+
+The industry is moving toward shorter certificate lifetimes. The CA/Browser Forum's SC-081v3 ballot mandates a phased reduction: 200-day max (March 2026), 100-day max (March 2027), and 47-day max (March 2029). Let's Encrypt has already begun reducing default validity to 45 days, and offers 6-day "shortlived" certificates via ACME profile selection.

+certctl handles shorter-lived certificates correctly out of the box:
+
+- **45-day certs** with the default 31-day renewal window trigger renewal at day 14 — at roughly 1/3 of the cert's lifetime.
+- **6-day "shortlived" certs** are always within the renewal window. ARI (RFC 9773) is the expected renewal path for these — the CA directs timing. Short-lived certs also skip CRL/OCSP since expiry is sufficient revocation (per profile TTL < 1 hour exemption).
+- **ACME profile selection** lets you request specific certificate profiles from your CA. Set `CERTCTL_ACME_PROFILE=shortlived` to get 6-day certificates from Let's Encrypt, or `CERTCTL_ACME_PROFILE=tlsserver` for standard TLS certificates.

Filter by profile, owner, team, agent group, or issuer to target the affected certificate set.

+### Built-in: GlobalSign Atlas HVCA
+
+GlobalSign Atlas High Volume CA REST API with dual authentication: mTLS for the TLS handshake and API key/secret headers for request authorization. Region-aware base URLs (EMEA, APAC, Americas).
+
+| Setting | Required | Default | Description |
+|---------|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `CERTCTL_GLOBALSIGN_API_URL` | Yes | — | Atlas HVCA API URL (region-specific) |
+| `CERTCTL_GLOBALSIGN_API_KEY` | Yes | — | API key for request authentication |

+| `CERTCTL_GLOBALSIGN_CLIENT_CERT_PATH` | Yes | — | Path to mTLS client certificate PEM |
+| `CERTCTL_GLOBALSIGN_CLIENT_KEY_PATH` | Yes | — | Path to mTLS client private key PEM |
+
+**Authentication:** Dual — mTLS client certificate for TLS handshake plus `X-API-Key` and `X-API-Secret` headers on every request.
+
+**Issuance model:** `POST /v2/certificates` returns a serial number. Certificate PEM is available after validation completes. Typically resolves within seconds for DV. `GetOrderStatus` polls the certificate endpoint.
+
+**Note:** CRL and OCSP are managed by GlobalSign. certctl records revocations locally and notifies GlobalSign via `PUT /v2/certificates/{serial}/revoke`.

+### Built-in: EJBCA (Keyfactor)
+
+EJBCA REST API for self-hosted open-source and enterprise CAs. Supports dual authentication: mTLS (default) or OAuth2 Bearer token, selectable via configuration.
+
+| Setting | Required | Default | Description |
+|---------|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `CERTCTL_EJBCA_API_URL` | Yes | — | EJBCA REST API base URL |
+| `CERTCTL_EJBCA_AUTH_MODE` | No | `mtls` | Auth mode: `mtls` or `oauth2` |
+| `CERTCTL_EJBCA_CLIENT_CERT_PATH` | mTLS | — | Path to client certificate PEM (mTLS mode) |
+| `CERTCTL_EJBCA_CLIENT_KEY_PATH` | mTLS | — | Path to client key PEM (mTLS mode) |
+| `CERTCTL_EJBCA_TOKEN` | OAuth2 | — | Bearer token (oauth2 mode) |
+| `CERTCTL_EJBCA_CA_NAME` | Yes | — | EJBCA CA name |
+| `CERTCTL_EJBCA_CERT_PROFILE` | No | — | EJBCA certificate profile |
+| `CERTCTL_EJBCA_EE_PROFILE` | No | — | EJBCA end-entity profile |
+
+**Authentication:** Configurable via `auth_mode`. In mTLS mode, client certificate and key are loaded for the TLS handshake. In OAuth2 mode, the token is sent as `Authorization: Bearer {token}`.
+
+**Issuance model:** `POST /v1/certificate/pkcs10enroll` with base64-encoded CSR. Returns base64-encoded certificate PEM. EJBCA 9.3+ creates end-entity and issues cert in a single call. Approval-pending enrollments return 201.
+
+**Revocation note:** EJBCA requires both issuer DN and serial number for revocation. The connector stores these as a composite `OrderID` in `issuer_dn::serial` format.
+
+**Note:** CRL and OCSP are managed by the EJBCA instance. certctl records revocations locally and notifies EJBCA via `PUT /v1/certificate/{issuer_dn}/{serial}/revoke`.

+### ADCS Integration
+
+Active Directory Certificate Services integration is handled via the **sub-CA mode** of the Local CA issuer, not as a separate connector. certctl operates as a subordinate CA with its signing certificate issued by ADCS, so all certctl-issued certs chain to the enterprise ADCS root. See the Local CA section above.

-The F5 BIG-IP target connector interface is defined 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 certctl agent in the same network zone polls for F5 deployment jobs and executes iControl REST calls on behalf of the control plane. Minimum supported BIG-IP version: 12.0+.
 
-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.
+The deployment flow uses F5's transaction API for atomic updates: authenticate via token auth, upload cert/key/chain PEM files, install as crypto objects, update the SSL client profile within a transaction, and commit. If the transaction fails, F5 rolls back automatically and the connector cleans up uploaded crypto objects. Updating an SSL profile automatically takes effect on all bound virtual servers — no separate virtual server binding step is needed.

+
+The SSH target connector enables agentless certificate deployment to any Linux/Unix server via SSH/SFTP. Instead of installing the certctl agent binary on every target, a single "proxy agent" in the same network zone deploys certificates to remote servers over SSH. This is ideal for environments where installing agents on every server is impractical.

+
+```json
+{
+  "namespace": "production",
+  "secret_name": "api-tls",
+  "labels": {"app": "api-gateway"},

+| `labels` | object | | Additional labels to apply to the Secret |
+| `kubeconfig_path` | string | | Path to kubeconfig for out-of-cluster agents |
+
+**Deployment modes:**
+- **In-cluster (default):** Agent runs as a Pod with a ServiceAccount. Authentication via auto-mounted token. Requires RBAC (`secrets.get`, `secrets.create`, `secrets.update`, `secrets.list`) — see Helm chart.
+- **Out-of-cluster:** Agent runs outside the cluster with `kubeconfig_path` pointing to a kubeconfig file. Useful for proxy agent pattern.
+
+**Secret format:** Standard `kubernetes.io/tls` with `tls.crt` (cert + chain PEM) and `tls.key` (private key PEM). Managed labels (`app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: certctl`) and annotations (`certctl.io/deployed-at`, `certctl.io/certificate-id`) are applied automatically.
+
+**Validation:** After deployment, the connector reads the Secret back and compares the certificate serial number to verify successful deployment.

+## Cloud Secret Manager Discovery
+
+certctl extends the existing filesystem and network discovery pipeline to cloud secret managers. Certificates stored in cloud vaults are automatically discovered, inventoried, and available for triage in the Discovery page.
+
+Each cloud source runs as a pluggable `DiscoverySource` with its own sentinel agent ID. Discovered certificates flow through the same `ProcessDiscoveryReport` pipeline used by filesystem and network discovery — dedup by fingerprint, audit trail, status tracking.

+
+Discovers certificates from Azure Key Vault using OAuth2 client credentials authentication. No Azure SDK dependency — uses stdlib HTTP with Azure AD token exchange.
+
+| Variable | Description | Default |
+|---|---|---|
+| `CERTCTL_AZURE_KV_DISCOVERY_ENABLED` | Enable Azure KV source | `false` |

+Five turnkey docker-compose scenarios, each runnable in under 5 minutes. Pick the one closest to your setup.
+
+## Which Example Should I Use?
+
+| I need to... | Example | Issuer | Target |
+|--------------|---------|--------|--------|
+| Get Let's Encrypt certs for NGINX on a public server | [ACME + NGINX](#acme--nginx) | ACME (HTTP-01) | NGINX |
+| Issue wildcard certs without opening port 80 | [Wildcard DNS-01](#wildcard-dns-01) | ACME (DNS-01) | Any |
+| Run an internal CA for services behind a firewall | [Private CA + Traefik](#private-ca--traefik) | Local CA | Traefik |
+| Use Smallstep step-ca as my PKI backend | [step-ca + HAProxy](#step-ca--haproxy) | step-ca | HAProxy |
+| Manage both public and internal certs from one dashboard | [Multi-Issuer](#multi-issuer) | ACME + Local CA | Mixed |
+
+**Already using another tool?** See the migration sections below each example for Certbot, acme.sh, and cert-manager users.
+
+---
+
+## ACME + NGINX
+
+**Scenario:** You have one or more public-facing domains, NGINX as the reverse proxy, and want automated Let's Encrypt certificates with HTTP-01 challenges.
+
+**What it deploys:** certctl server + PostgreSQL + certctl agent + NGINX, all on one Docker network. The agent generates keys locally (ECDSA P-256), submits CSRs to the server, receives signed certs from Let's Encrypt, and deploys them to NGINX with automatic reload.
+
+**Prerequisites:** A domain pointing to your server, ports 80 and 443 open, Docker Compose v20.10+.
+
+```bash
+cd examples/acme-nginx
+cp .env.example .env   # Edit with your domain and email
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+The full walkthrough — including how HTTP-01 challenges work, adding multiple domains, switching to staging for testing, and a production checklist — is in the [example README](../examples/acme-nginx/acme-nginx.md).
+
+**Migrating from Certbot?** certctl discovers your existing `/etc/letsencrypt/live/` certificates automatically. You keep your ACME account, disable the Certbot cron, and certctl takes over renewal with centralized visibility and deployment verification. The step-by-step process is in [Migrating from Certbot](migrate-from-certbot.md).
+
+---
+
+## Wildcard DNS-01
+
+**Scenario:** You need wildcard certificates (`*.example.com`) or your servers aren't reachable from the internet (no port 80). DNS-01 validates ownership by creating a TXT record at your DNS provider.
+
+**What it deploys:** certctl server + PostgreSQL + certctl agent. Includes a Cloudflare DNS hook script as a working reference — swap in your own DNS provider (Route53, Azure DNS, Google Cloud DNS, or any provider with an API).
+
+**Prerequisites:** A domain, API credentials for your DNS provider, Docker Compose.
+
+```bash
+cd examples/acme-wildcard-dns01
+cp .env.example .env   # Edit with domain, email, DNS provider credentials
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+The full walkthrough — including DNS-PERSIST-01 (set a TXT record once, never touch DNS again on renewals), adapting scripts for other providers, and propagation troubleshooting — is in the [example README](../examples/acme-wildcard-dns01/acme-wildcard-dns01.md).
+
+**Migrating from acme.sh?** Your existing `dns_*` hook scripts are compatible with certctl's DNS-01 — they use the same pattern (shell scripts creating TXT records). The migration guide covers script adaptation, discovery of existing acme.sh certificates, and phasing out the acme.sh cron. See [Migrating from acme.sh](migrate-from-acmesh.md).
+
+---
+
+## Private CA + Traefik
+
+**Scenario:** Internal services that don't need public CA validation. You run your own certificate authority — either a self-signed root for development, or a subordinate CA chained to your enterprise root (e.g., Active Directory Certificate Services).
+
+**What it deploys:** certctl server + PostgreSQL + certctl agent + Traefik. The Local CA issuer signs certificates directly. Traefik watches a cert directory and auto-reloads when new files appear.
+
+**Prerequisites:** Docker Compose. For sub-CA mode, you'll need a CA certificate and key signed by your enterprise root.
+
+```bash
+cd examples/private-ca-traefik
+docker compose up -d    # Self-signed mode (no .env needed for demo)
+```
+
+The full walkthrough — including sub-CA setup with `CERTCTL_CA_CERT_PATH` and `CERTCTL_CA_KEY_PATH`, creating certificates via the API, monitoring deployments, and production hardening — is in the [example README](../examples/private-ca-traefik/private-ca-traefik.md).
+
+---
+
+## step-ca + HAProxy
+
+**Scenario:** You use Smallstep's step-ca as your private PKI and want automated lifecycle management for certificates deployed to HAProxy load balancers.
+
+**What it deploys:** certctl server + PostgreSQL + certctl agent + step-ca (with JWK provisioner) + HAProxy. certctl issues certs via step-ca's native `/sign` API, combines them into HAProxy's expected PEM format (cert + chain + key in one file), and reloads HAProxy.
+
+**Prerequisites:** Docker Compose.
+
+```bash
+cd examples/step-ca-haproxy
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+The full walkthrough — including step-ca provisioner configuration, integrating with an existing step-ca instance, HAProxy PEM format details, and advanced features (approval workflows, policy-based renewal, multi-instance HAProxy) — is in the [example README](../examples/step-ca-haproxy/step-ca-haproxy.md).
+
+---
+
+## Multi-Issuer
+
+**Scenario:** You manage both public-facing services (needing Let's Encrypt or another public CA) and internal services (using a private CA) and want a single dashboard for everything.
+
+**What it deploys:** certctl server + PostgreSQL + certctl agent configured with both an ACME issuer and a Local CA issuer. Demonstrates issuer assignment via profiles — public services get ACME certs, internal services get Local CA certs, all visible in one inventory.
+
+**Prerequisites:** Docker Compose. For real ACME certs, a public domain and port 80 access.
+
+```bash
+cd examples/multi-issuer
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+The full walkthrough — including profile-based issuer assignment, testing with ACME staging, Local CA enterprise sub-CA mode, and scaling beyond Docker Compose — is in the [example README](../examples/multi-issuer/multi-issuer.md).
+
+**Using cert-manager for Kubernetes?** certctl complements cert-manager — cert-manager handles in-cluster certs, certctl handles everything outside: VMs, bare metal, network appliances, Windows servers. They can share the same CA (ACME, step-ca, Vault PKI). See [certctl for cert-manager Users](certctl-for-cert-manager-users.md).
+
+---
+
+## Beyond These Examples
+
+These 5 scenarios cover the most common deployment patterns, but certctl supports 7 issuer backends and 10 target connectors. Once you have the basics running, you can mix and match:
+
+**Issuers:** ACME (Let's Encrypt, ZeroSSL, Buypass, Google Trust Services), Local CA (self-signed or sub-CA), step-ca, Vault PKI, DigiCert CertCentral, OpenSSL/Custom CA script, Sectigo (coming soon).
+
+**Targets:** NGINX, Apache, HAProxy, Traefik, Caddy, Envoy, IIS (local PowerShell or WinRM proxy), Postfix, Dovecot, F5 BIG-IP (coming soon).

+# QA Test Suite Guide (`qa_test.go`)
+
+> **Audience:** Anyone running release QA for certctl — whether you're a first-time contributor or the maintainer cutting a release tag.
+>
+> **Companion to:** `docs/testing-guide.md` (the *what* to test). This document explains the *how* — the automated test file, what it covers, what it skips, and how to fill the gaps manually.
+
+---
+
+## What Is This File?
+
+`deploy/test/qa_test.go` is a single Go test file (~1700 lines) that automates as much of `docs/testing-guide.md` as possible against a running certctl Docker Compose demo stack. It replaces the legacy `qa-smoke-test.sh` bash script.
+
+It covers **all 54 Parts** of the testing guide:
+
+- **~164 automated subtests** — API calls, database queries, source file checks, performance benchmarks
+- **11 skipped Parts** — with documented reasons (external CAs, Windows, browser-only, etc.)
+- **Remaining ~282 manual tests** — GUI flows, scheduler timing, Docker log inspection — must be done by a human following `docs/testing-guide.md`
+
+## Architecture
+
+```

+│   └─ Part52_HelmChart  │
+└────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+Key design choices:
+
+- **Build tag:** `//go:build qa` — never runs during `go test ./...` or CI. Only runs when explicitly requested.
+- **Package:** `integration_test` — same package as `integration_test.go` (which uses `//go:build integration` for the test stack). They coexist but never run together.
+- **Zero internal imports:** Uses only stdlib + `lib/pq` (from `go.mod`). All API interactions are plain HTTP. All JSON is decoded into lightweight local structs (`qaCert`, `qaJob`, etc.) — not the internal domain types.
+- **Self-cleaning:** Tests that create data use `t.Cleanup()` to delete it afterward. The seed data is not modified.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. **Docker Compose demo stack running:**
+   ```bash
+   cd deploy
+   docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.demo.yml up --build -d
+   ```
+   Wait ~15 seconds for health checks to pass.
+
+2. **Go 1.22+** installed (the project uses Go 1.25 in `go.mod`, but 1.22+ works for running tests).
+
+3. **PostgreSQL port exposed** — the demo stack exposes port 5432 for database verification tests (table counts, schema checks).
+
+4. **Repository checkout** — source file verification tests (`fileExists`, `fileContains`) read files relative to `qaRepoDir` (default: `../..` from `deploy/test/`).
+

+
+**Totals:** ~164 automated subtests, 11 fully skipped Parts, ~282 manual tests remaining.
+
+## Test Categories
+
+The automated tests fall into four categories:
+
+### 1. API Integration Tests (majority)
+Make real HTTP requests to the running server and verify status codes, response structure, and JSON field values. Examples:
+- `POST /api/v1/certificates` with valid payload → 201
+- `GET /api/v1/certificates?status=Active` → all returned certs have `status: "Active"`
+- `DELETE /api/v1/certificates/mc-qa-full` → 204
+
+### 2. Database Verification Tests
+Connect directly to PostgreSQL and verify schema state:
+- Table count ≥ 19 (from migrations 000001–000010)
+- Useful for catching migration regressions
+
+### 3. Source File Verification Tests
+Read files from the repo checkout and verify structure:
+- Domain types exist in `internal/domain/connector.go` (e.g., `TargetTypeEnvoy`)
+- Connector implementations exist (e.g., `internal/connector/target/envoy/envoy.go`)
+- Documentation contains expected content (all issuer/target types listed)
+- No stale RFC 9702 references (replaced by RFC 9773)
+
+### 4. Performance Spot Checks
+Timed API requests with threshold assertions:
+- `GET /api/v1/certificates?per_page=15` < 200ms
+- `GET /api/v1/stats/summary` < 500ms
+- `GET /api/v1/metrics/prometheus` < 300ms
+
+## What This Test Does NOT Cover
+
+These gaps must be filled by manual testing per `docs/testing-guide.md`:
+
+### External CA Integrations (Parts 10–13)
+- **Sub-CA mode** — requires CA cert+key files on disk
+- **ACME ARI** — requires a CA that supports RFC 9773 Renewal Information
+- **Vault PKI** — requires a running HashiCorp Vault instance
+- **DigiCert / Sectigo / Google CAS** — requires sandbox API credentials
+
+### Browser/GUI Testing (Parts 35–37, 50)
+- Dashboard chart rendering (Recharts)
+- Onboarding wizard step-by-step flow
+- Issuer catalog card layout and create wizard
+- Bulk operations UI (multi-select, progress bars)
+- Discovery triage workflow
+
+### Real Deployment Testing (Parts 15–17)
+- NGINX/Apache/HAProxy file write + reload
+- Traefik/Caddy file provider or API reload
+- IIS PowerShell/WinRM (requires Windows)
+- F5 BIG-IP iControl REST (requires appliance or mock)
+- SSH agentless deployment (requires target host)
+
+### Agent Binary Behavior (Parts 18, 28–29)
+- Agent-side ECDSA key generation and CSR submission
+- Agent filesystem discovery scan
+- CLI tool (`certctl-cli`) — all 10 subcommands
+- MCP server (`mcp-server`) — stdio transport
+
+### Timing-Dependent Tests (Parts 33–34)
+- Background scheduler loop execution (renewal, jobs, health, notifications, digest, network scan)
+- Structured logging format verification (requires Docker log parsing)
+
+## How This Relates to `integration_test.go`
+
+Both files live in `deploy/test/` in the same Go package (`integration_test`):
+
+| | `qa_test.go` | `integration_test.go` |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Build tag** | `//go:build qa` | `//go:build integration` |
+| **Target stack** | Demo (`docker-compose.yml` + `docker-compose.demo.yml`) | Test (`docker-compose.test.yml`) |
+| **Port** | 8443 | Different (test stack config) |
+| **Seed data** | `seed_demo.sql` (32 certs, 8 agents, realistic history) | Minimal (created by tests) |
+| **CA backends** | Local CA only (demo mode) | Pebble ACME, step-ca, NGINX |
+| **Purpose** | Release QA — broad coverage, spot checks | Functional — end-to-end issuance, renewal, revocation against real CAs |
+| **Run frequency** | Before each release tag | CI on every PR |
+
+They are complementary. Integration tests prove the machinery works. QA tests prove the product works at release quality.

+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Server unreachable" on startup
+The test pings `GET /health` before running anything. If this fails:
+```bash
+# Check if the stack is running
+docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.demo.yml ps
+
+# Check server logs
+docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.demo.yml logs certctl-server
+
+# Check if the port is exposed
+curl -s http://localhost:8443/health
+```
+
+### "connect to QA DB" failure
+The database tests connect directly to PostgreSQL. Ensure port 5432 is exposed:
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.demo.yml port postgres 5432
+```
+
+### Performance tests flaking
+The performance thresholds (200ms, 300ms, 500ms) assume a local Docker stack. On slow CI runners or remote Docker hosts, increase the thresholds or skip Part 39:
+```bash
+go test -tags qa -v -run 'TestQA/Part(?!39)' ./...
+```
+
+### Source file checks failing
+The `fileExists` and `fileContains` helpers read from `CERTCTL_QA_REPO_DIR` (default `../..`). If running from a non-standard location:
+```bash
+CERTCTL_QA_REPO_DIR=/absolute/path/to/certctl go test -tags qa -v ./...
+```
+
+## Adding New Tests
+
+When a new feature ships:
+
+1. **Add a Part section** in `qa_test.go` following the numbering in `docs/testing-guide.md`
+2. **API tests**: use `c.get()`, `c.post()`, `c.bodyStr()`, `c.getJSON()`, `c.timedGet()`
+3. **Source checks**: use `fileExists(t, "relative/path")` and `fileContains(t, "path", "substring")`
+4. **DB checks**: use `openQADB(t)` and `db.queryInt(t, "SELECT ...")`
+5. **Cleanup**: always use `t.Cleanup()` for data created during tests
+6. **Skip if external**: use `t.Skip("Requires X — manual test")` with a clear reason
+
+## Version History
+
+- **v1.0** (April 2026) — Initial release covering all 52 Parts of testing-guide.md v2.1. Replaces `qa-smoke-test.sh`.

Dashboard charts and tables look populated on first boot. | `docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml -f deploy/docker-compose.demo.yml up --build` |
+| `docker-compose.dev.yml` | **Development override.** Adds PgAdmin (port 5050), debug-level logging, and a Delve debugger port (40000) for the server. | `docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml -f deploy/docker-compose.dev.yml up --build` |
+| `docker-compose.test.yml` | **Integration test environment.** 7 containers on a static-IP subnet: PostgreSQL, certctl server+agent, step-ca, Pebble ACME server, challenge test server, and NGINX. Runs the full issuance→deployment→verification flow against real CA backends. Standalone — does not combine with the base file. | `docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.test.yml up --build` |
+
+Override files are layered onto the base with multiple `-f` flags. The test environment is self-contained and runs independently. To reset any environment's data, add `down -v` to remove volumes.

 # Why certctl?
 
-Certificate management is broken at every scale between "one domain on Let's Encrypt" and "Fortune 500 budget for Venafi."
+Certificate management is broken at every scale between "one domain on Let's Encrypt" and "Fortune 500 budget for Venafi." certctl fills that gap: a self-hosted platform that automates the entire certificate lifecycle, works with any CA, deploys to any server, and keeps private keys on your infrastructure. It's free, source-available, and you own everything.
 
-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.
+## The Math That Forces the Decision
 
-certctl fills that gap.
+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.
 
-## The Problem
+At 47-day lifespans, a team managing 100 certificates is processing **7+ renewals per week**, every week, forever. At 200 certificates, it's two per day. Manual processes, calendar reminders, and certbot cron jobs don't scale to this — a single missed renewal becomes a production outage at 3 AM. Certificate lifecycle automation is no longer optional; the only question is what tool runs it.
 
-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 Landscape Today
 
-The existing options for automation are:
+If you're evaluating your options, here's what you'll find:
 
-- **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.
+**ACME clients** (certbot, lego, acme.sh) handle issuance and renewal for Let's Encrypt and similar CAs, but they don't deploy to target servers, don't track inventory, don't support private CAs, and give you no audit trail or policy enforcement. You end up writing glue scripts and hoping they don't break.
-- **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.
+**Kubernetes-native tools** (cert-manager) work well inside the cluster, but most organizations run mixed infrastructure — NGINX on VMs, HAProxy at the edge, IIS on Windows, maybe an F5. You need a separate solution for everything outside Kubernetes.
-- **Enterprise platforms** (Venafi, Keyfactor, AppViewX): Comprehensive but start at $75K/year and require dedicated teams to operate.
+
+**Commercial SaaS platforms** handle more of the lifecycle but are proprietary, cloud-dependent, and priced per certificate. At 100 certs and 20 agents, SaaS pricing runs $3,000-5,000/year and scales linearly. You're paying rent on your own infrastructure's security.
+
+**Enterprise platforms** (Venafi, Keyfactor, AppViewX) are comprehensive but start at $75K/year and require dedicated teams to operate. If you have a 50-server environment, the licensing costs more than the servers.
 
 ## 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:
+certctl 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:
+certctl works with any certificate authority, not just ACME providers. Nine issuer connectors ship today, all free:
 
-- **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
+- **ACME v2** (Let's Encrypt, ZeroSSL, Google Trust Services, Buypass) — HTTP-01, DNS-01, DNS-PERSIST-01 challenges, External Account Binding, ACME Renewal Information (RFC 9773), certificate profile selection
-- **step-ca** (Smallstep) — native /sign API with JWK provisioner authentication
+- **HashiCorp Vault PKI** — `/v1/{mount}/sign/{role}` API, token auth
-- **Local CA** — self-signed or sub-CA mode (chain to your enterprise root CA, e.g. ADCS)
+- **DigiCert CertCentral** — async order model, OV/EV support
-- **OpenSSL / Custom CA** — delegate signing to any shell script with configurable timeout
+- **Sectigo SCM** — async order model, DV/OV/EV support, 3-header auth
-- **EST enrollment** (RFC 7030) — device certificate enrollment for WiFi/802.1X, MDM, and IoT
+- **Google Cloud CAS** — Certificate Authority Service, OAuth2 service account auth, CA pool selection
+- **step-ca** (Smallstep) — native /sign API with JWK provisioner auth
+- **Local CA** — self-signed or sub-CA mode (chain to ADCS or any enterprise root)
+- **OpenSSL / Custom CA** — delegate signing to any shell script
+- **EST enrollment** (RFC 7030) — device certs for WiFi/802.1X, MDM, IoT
 
-Every issuer connector implements the same interface. Switching CAs or running multiple CAs in parallel requires zero code changes — just configuration.
+Every connector implements the same interface. Running multiple CAs in parallel — Let's Encrypt for public certs, Vault for internal services, your enterprise CA for legacy systems — is configuration, not code.
 
 ### 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.
+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 automatically.
+
+## What Else Ships Free
+
+The three differentiators above get the headlines, but the feature surface is wider than most paid platforms:
+
+**13 deployment targets** — NGINX, Apache, HAProxy, Traefik, Caddy, Envoy, IIS (local PowerShell + remote WinRM), F5 BIG-IP (proxy agent + iControl REST), Postfix, Dovecot, SSH (agentless), Windows Certificate Store, and Java Keystore. All use a pluggable connector model. The control plane never initiates outbound connections — agents poll for work, meaning certctl works behind firewalls, across network zones, and in air-gapped environments.
+
+**Network certificate discovery** — active TLS scanning of CIDR ranges finds certificates you didn't know existed. Agents also scan local filesystems for PEM/DER files. Everything feeds into a triage workflow where you claim, dismiss, or import discovered certs into management.
+
+**Immutable audit trail** — every API call recorded (method, path, actor, body hash, status, latency). Every certificate lifecycle event tracked. Append-only, no update or delete. Mapped to SOC 2, PCI-DSS 4.0, and NIST SP 800-57 compliance frameworks with published evidence guides.
+
+**Policy engine** — 5 rule types (allowed issuers, allowed domains, required metadata, allowed environments, renewal lead time) with violation tracking and severity levels.
+
+**PKI compliance** — DER-encoded X.509 CRL signed by issuing CA, embedded OCSP responder, RFC 5280 revocation with all reason codes, short-lived certificate exemption.
+
+**Prometheus metrics** — `/api/v1/metrics/prometheus` in standard exposition format. Works with Prometheus, Grafana Agent, Datadog Agent, Victoria Metrics.
+
+**MCP server** — the entire REST API is exposed via MCP for AI-assisted certificate management via Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client. No other certificate platform offers this.
+
+**Full REST API** — OpenAPI 3.1-documented operations covering the entire platform. CLI tool with 10 subcommands. Helm chart for Kubernetes deployment. Scheduled certificate digest emails. Certificate export in PEM and PKCS#12. S/MIME support with EKU-aware issuance.
+
+**Extensively tested** — Go backend with race detection, static analysis (golangci-lint), and vulnerability scanning (govulncheck) on every commit. CI-enforced per-layer coverage thresholds. Frontend test suite. Every push is gated.
 
 ## How certctl Compares
 
-### vs. CertKit
+### vs. ACME Clients
 
-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.
+ACME clients solve one slice of the problem — issuance and renewal from ACME CAs. certctl replaces the ACME client, adds 6 more CA integrations, deploys the cert to the right server, verifies it's live, tracks it in an inventory, alerts on expiry, logs everything to an audit trail, and enforces policy. If you're currently running certbot behind a cron job and a prayer, certctl replaces all of it.
 
-### vs. KeyTalk
+### vs. Agent-Based SaaS
 
-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.
+The closest architectural competitors use the same agent model — local key generation, CSR submission, push-based deployment. Where certctl differs: it supports 9 issuer types (not just ACME), provides CRL/OCSP/revocation infrastructure (not just issuance), includes a policy engine and network discovery, and is source-available with no certificate limit. SaaS alternatives are typically proprietary, priced per certificate ($2+/cert/month), and cap their free tiers at 3-5 certificates. certctl is free for any number of certificates, forever.
 
-### vs. Enterprise Platforms (Venafi, Keyfactor)
+### vs. Commercial PKI Platforms
 
-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.
+On-prem or hosted commercial platforms offer broader cert type coverage (VPN certs, device auth, SCEP) and deeper CA integrations. The trade-off: no free tier, opaque pricing (often €13K+/year for 1,500 certs), proprietary codebases, and no public API documentation. certctl trades breadth of exotic cert types for full transparency — source-available code, fully documented OpenAPI spec, and a free community edition with no artificial limits.
 
-## Getting Started
+### vs. Enterprise Platforms
+
+Venafi and Keyfactor offer decades of features at $75K-$250K+/year. certctl targets organizations that need 80% of those capabilities at a fraction of the cost. What certctl doesn't have yet: SSO/RBAC (coming in certctl Pro), vendor SLA-backed support. What certctl does have that enterprise platforms don't: an MCP server for AI-assisted management, ACME ARI (RFC 9773) for CA-directed renewal timing, and a deployment model that works in 5 minutes instead of 5 months.
+
+## Who Should Look Elsewhere
+
+certctl isn't the right tool for everyone:
+
+- **Single-domain sites** — if you have one certificate on one server, certbot is fine. certctl is designed for managing tens to hundreds of certificates across multiple servers and CAs.
+- **Pure Kubernetes environments** — if every workload runs in-cluster and you're happy with cert-manager, there's no reason to add another tool. certctl shines when your infrastructure extends beyond Kubernetes.
+- **Organizations that need a vendor SLA today** — certctl is source-available software maintained by a small team. If you need contractual uptime guarantees and a support hotline, an enterprise platform is the right choice (for now).

+// Adversarial EST (RFC 7030) enrollment tests — Tier 1F.
+//
+// EST is the RFC 7030 protocol for certificate enrollment over HTTPS. The
+// control-plane parser accepts PKCS#10 CSRs either as PEM or as base64-encoded
+// DER, and it's a prime target for:
+//
+//   * Malformed base64 / non-DER payloads
+//   * Valid base64 that doesn't decode to a valid CSR
+//   * PEM header spoofing (wrong block type)
+//   * Null bytes and control characters embedded in PEM or base64
+//   * Huge CSR bodies (we expect the handler's 1 MiB LimitReader to clamp them)
+//   * Truncated or partially-written PEM blocks
+//   * Unicode homoglyphs in PEM delimiters
+//   * Content-Type mismatch (handler ignores Content-Type, but attackers might
+//     still try header spoofing)
+//
+// The contract is the same as other adversarial tiers: the handler must never
+// panic and must never return 500 for a malformed CSR (500 is reserved for
+// issuer/service failures). For adversarial CSRs, the correct status is 400.

+// Package awssm implements the domain.DiscoverySource interface for AWS Secrets Manager.
+//
+// AWS Secrets Manager is a managed service for storing and managing secrets including
+// certificates. This discovery source scans Secrets Manager for certificates stored
+// as secrets, filters by configured tags and name prefix, and reports discovered
+// certificate metadata back to the control plane for triage and management.
+//
+// Discovery approach:
+// 1. List all secrets in the configured region
+// 2. Filter by tag key=value (default "type=certificate")
+// 3. Optionally filter by name prefix
+// 4. For each secret, retrieve its value
+// 5. Attempt to parse as PEM or base64-encoded DER
+// 6. Extract certificate metadata (CN, SANs, serial, validity, etc.)
+// 7. Report findings with sentinel agent ID "cloud-aws-sm" and source path "aws-sm://{region}/{secret-name}"
+//
+// Authentication: AWS credentials via standard credential chain (environment variables,
+// IAM roles, instance profile, SSO). The caller is responsible for configuring AWS credentials
+// before creating a Source (e.g., via environment variables AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY).
+//
+// AWS Secrets Manager API operations used:
+//
+//	ListSecrets - List secrets, optionally filtered by tags
+//	GetSecretValue - Retrieve the secret value (certificate data)

+// Package gcpsm implements the domain.DiscoverySource interface for GCP Secret Manager.
+//
+// GCP Secret Manager is a Google Cloud service for securely storing and managing secrets,
+// including certificates. This discovery source scans Secret Manager for certificates stored
+// as secrets, filters by configured tags, and reports discovered certificate metadata
+// back to the control plane for triage and management.
+//
+// Discovery approach:
+// 1. Authenticate using service account JSON credentials (JWT → OAuth2 token exchange)
+// 2. List all secrets in the configured GCP project
+// 3. Filter by label "type=certificate"
+// 4. For each secret, retrieve the latest version's data
+// 5. Base64-decode the secret value, then attempt PEM or DER parsing
+// 6. Extract certificate metadata (CN, SANs, serial, validity, key algorithm, etc.)
+// 7. Report findings with sentinel agent ID "cloud-gcp-sm" and source path "gcp-sm://{project}/{secret-name}"
+//
+// Authentication: OAuth2 service account via JWT assertion. The service account
+// credentials must be provided in a JSON file. The connector loads the private key,
+// builds a JWT, exchanges it for an access token, then uses Bearer token auth for
+// all subsequent Secret Manager API calls.
+//
+// GCP Secret Manager API operations used:
+//
+//	GET /v1/projects/{project}/secrets - List secrets with filtering
+//	GET /v1/projects/{project}/secrets/{name}/versions/latest:access - Access secret data

+// AWS ACM Private CA (ACM PCA) provides a fully managed private certificate authority
+// with certificate signing, revocation, and CRL capabilities. This connector uses the
+// AWS ACM PCA API to issue and manage certificates.

+// This connector issues certificates synchronously: the IssueCertificate call returns
+// the issued certificate immediately. GetOrderStatus always returns "completed" since
+// issuance is synchronous. CRL and OCSP operations are delegated to AWS PCA's own
+// endpoints.

+// IAM role, instance profile, or SSO). Configuration specifies the CA ARN, region, and
+// optional signing algorithm and validity days.
+//
+// AWS ACM PCA API used (abstracted via ACMPCAClient interface):

+//	IssueCertificate  - Issue a certificate from a CSR

+// Package entrust implements the issuer.Connector interface for Entrust Certificate Services.
+//
+// Entrust Certificate Services provides enterprise certificate authority offerings via
+// the Entrust CA Gateway REST API. Unlike synchronous issuers (Vault, step-ca), Entrust
+// uses an asynchronous order model: submit an enrollment, receive a tracking ID, then
+// poll for completion. This connector maps to certctl's existing job state machine:
+//   - IssueCertificate submits the enrollment; if status is "ISSUED", returns cert immediately.
+//     If status is pending, returns OrderID with empty CertPEM — the job system polls
+//     via GetOrderStatus.
+//   - GetOrderStatus polls the enrollment; when status becomes "ISSUED", returns the cert.
+//
+// Authentication: mTLS client certificate loaded from disk (X509 key pair).
+// No API key header — uses mutual TLS authentication at the transport layer.
+//
+// Entrust CA Gateway REST API used:
+//
+//	POST /v1/certificate-authorities/{caId}/enrollments                - Submit enrollment
+//	GET  /v1/certificate-authorities/{caId}/enrollments/{trackingId}  - Check enrollment status
+//	PUT  /v1/certificate-authorities/{caId}/certificates/{serial}/revoke - Revoke certificate
+//	GET  /v1/certificate-authorities/{caId}                            - Validate CA access

+// Package globalsign implements the issuer.Connector interface for GlobalSign Atlas HVCA.
+//
+// GlobalSign Atlas HVCA (Hosted Validation CA) is an enterprise certificate authority
+// offering DV and OV certificates. Unlike synchronous issuers (Vault, step-ca), GlobalSign
+// uses an asynchronous order model with serial number polling: submit a certificate order,
+// receive a serial number immediately, then poll to check when the cert is available.
+//
+// This connector maps to certctl's existing job state machine:
+//   - IssueCertificate submits the order and returns the serial number. The cert PEM
+//     is typically available within seconds for DV certs.
+//   - GetOrderStatus polls via the serial number to retrieve the cert when ready.
+//
+// Authentication: mTLS client certificate (mutual TLS handshake) PLUS API key/secret
+// headers on every request. This is a "double auth" pattern.
+//   - TLS client certificate: loaded from disk via tls.LoadX509KeyPair()
+//   - API key/secret: sent as custom HTTP headers (ApiKey, ApiSecret)
+//
+// GlobalSign Atlas HVCA API used:
+//
+//	POST /v2/certificates           - Submit certificate order, returns serial number
+//	GET  /v2/certificates/{serial}  - Get certificate PEM by serial number
+//	PUT  /v2/certificates/{serial}/revoke - Revoke certificate (no reason code required)
+//	GET  /v2/certificates           - List certificates (for config validation)
