feat(M51): add SCEP server (RFC 8894) for MDM and network device enrollment

Implements Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol with single-endpoint operation-based dispatch (GetCACaps, GetCACert, PKIOperation), PKCS#7 SignedData CSR extraction with fallback for raw/base64 CSR, challenge password authentication via CSR attributes, and shared internal/pkcs7 package extracted from EST handler to eliminate code duplication. 24 new tests (11 service + 13 handler) plus 5 shared pkcs7 package tests.

 ## Why certctl Exists

 Certificate lifecycle tooling today falls into two camps: expensive enterprise platforms (Venafi, Keyfactor, Sectigo) that cost six figures and take months to deploy, or single-purpose tools (cert-manager, certbot) that handle one slice of the problem. If you run a mixed infrastructure — some NGINX, some Apache, a few HAProxy nodes, 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.
@@ -46,7 +48,7 @@ certctl fills that gap. It's **CA-agnostic** — plug in any certificate authori

 It's **target-agnostic**. Agents deploy certificates to NGINX, Apache, HAProxy, Traefik, Caddy, Envoy, Postfix, Dovecot, IIS (local PowerShell or remote WinRM), F5 BIG-IP (proxy agent), and any Linux/Unix server via SSH/SFTP — 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.

+# certctl Docker Compose Environments
+
+This guide walks through every Docker Compose file in the `deploy/` directory. Each section explains what the environment does, when to use it, every service and environment variable, and the commands to run it. If you've never used Docker before, start with the [Prerequisites](#prerequisites) section. If you're experienced, skip to the environment you need.
+

+8. [Common Operations](#common-operations)
+
+---
+
+## 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 |

+| `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).

-Lightweight Go processes that run on or near your infrastructure. Agents generate ECDSA P-256 private keys locally, create CSRs, and submit them to the control plane for signing — private keys never leave agent infrastructure. Agents also handle certificate deployment to target systems (NGINX, Apache httpd, HAProxy, Traefik, Caddy, Envoy, Postfix, Dovecot, IIS fully implemented; F5 BIG-IP interface stub only) and report job status. They communicate with the control plane via HTTP and authenticate with API keys.

 The agent runs two background loops: a heartbeat (every 60 seconds) to signal it's alive, and a work poll (every 30 seconds) to check for actionable jobs via `GET /api/v1/agents/{id}/work`. Jobs may be `AwaitingCSR` (agent needs to generate key + submit CSR) or `Deployment` (agent needs to deploy a certificate). Private keys are stored in `CERTCTL_KEY_DIR` (default `/var/lib/certctl/keys`) with 0600 permissions.

 **ACME Renewal Information (ARI, RFC 9773):** The ACME connector supports CA-directed renewal timing via the `GetRenewalInfo()` method. Instead of using fixed thresholds (e.g., renew 30 days before expiry), the CA tells certctl when to renew by providing a `suggestedWindow` with start and end times. This is useful for distributing renewal load during maintenance windows and coordinating mass-revocation scenarios. Enable with `CERTCTL_ACME_ARI_ENABLED=true`. Cert ID is computed as `base64url(SHA-256(DER cert))` per RFC 9773. If the CA doesn't support ARI (404 from the ARI endpoint), certctl automatically falls back to threshold-based renewal — no operator intervention required. Errors from the CA are logged as warnings.

 After deployment, agents can perform **post-deployment TLS verification**: the agent probes the live TLS endpoint using `crypto/tls.DialWithDialer` and compares the SHA-256 fingerprint of the served certificate against what was deployed. Results are reported via `POST /api/v1/jobs/{id}/verify` and stored on the job record. Verification is best-effort — failures don't block or rollback deployments.

+### SCEP Server (RFC 8894)
+
+The SCEP (Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol) server provides certificate enrollment for MDM platforms and network devices. It runs at `/scep` with operation-based dispatch via query parameters per RFC 8894.
+
+**Architecture:** SCEP follows the exact same layering as EST — a handler-level protocol that delegates certificate issuance to an existing `IssuerConnector`. The `SCEPService` bridges the `SCEPHandler` to whichever issuer connector is configured via `CERTCTL_SCEP_ISSUER_ID`.
+
+```
+Client (MDM, network device, SCEP client)
+    │
+    ▼
+SCEPHandler (handler layer)
+    │  PKCS#7 envelope parsing, CSR extraction, challenge password extraction
+    ▼
+SCEPService (service layer)
+    │  Challenge password validation, CSR validation, CN/SAN extraction, audit recording
+    ▼
+IssuerConnector (connector layer via IssuerConnectorAdapter)
+    │  Certificate signing (Local CA, step-ca, etc.)
+    ▼
+Signed certificate returned as PKCS#7 certs-only
+```
+
+**Wire format:** 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.

+
+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

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.

+//
+// 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.

+// 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.
+//
+// Authentication: AWS credentials via the standard credential chain (environment variables,
+// 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
+//	GetCertificate    - Retrieve the issued certificate
+//	RevokeCertificate - Revoke a certificate

shankar0123	bcefb11e65	feat(M51): add SCEP server (RFC 8894) for MDM and network device enrollment Implements Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol with single-endpoint operation-based dispatch (GetCACaps, GetCACert, PKIOperation), PKCS#7 SignedData CSR extraction with fallback for raw/base64 CSR, challenge password authentication via CSR attributes, and shared internal/pkcs7 package extracted from EST handler to eliminate code duplication. 24 new tests (11 service + 13 handler) plus 5 shared pkcs7 package tests.

shankar0123	75cf8475f5	tighten BSL license scope, fix documentation underselling shipped features Broadened BSL Additional Use Grant from "hosted or managed service" to cover any commercial offering (embedded, bundled, integrated). Updated README to promote all shipped connectors from Beta to Implemented, added EST/ARI/S/MIME highlight, Helm quickstart, and corrected license description. Fixed connectors.md stale claims (AWS ACM PCA listed as planned, K8s Secrets listed as coming soon) and updated overview with exact connector counts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-04-15 15:54:03 -04:00
shankar0123	c015cab2f4	docs: rewrite features.md, audit README + architecture against repo Rewrote docs/features.md from scratch as authoritative feature inventory (1255 lines, every claim verified against source files). Audited README.md and architecture.md against repo — fixed 19 stale references: K8s Secrets status, issuer counts, dashboard page counts, CI thresholds, missing connectors in Mermaid diagrams, OpenAPI operation count, GetCACertPEM behavior, and V2/V4 roadmap accuracy. Also includes related fixes discovered during audit: - Scheduler skips expired/failed/revoked certs from auto-renewal - Seed demo expiry dates moved outside 31-day scheduler query window - Agent pages use correct last_heartbeat_at field name Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-04-15 00:22:57 -04:00
shankar0123	3da6584ab8	fix: correct K8s Secrets status to 'Coming in 2.1', increase audit trail page size to 200 The Kubernetes Secrets target connector has config validation, tests, UI, and Helm RBAC implemented but the realK8sClient is a stub — runtime deployment will fail. Update README and connectors.md to reflect actual status instead of misleading 'Beta' label. Also increase the audit trail GUI default from 50 to 200 events per page (backend already permits up to 500). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-04-14 12:11:01 -04:00
shankar0123	68f6fd474b	fix: return 409 on duplicate issuer name, improve error handling and onboarding defaults Closes #7. The issuer create/update handlers swallowed all service errors as generic 500s. Now differentiates: 409 for UNIQUE constraint violations, 400 for unsupported issuer type, 404 for not-found on update, 500 for unknown errors. Adds structured error logging via slog. OnboardingWizard now pre-populates config field defaults when a type is selected (matching IssuersPage behavior), preventing empty required fields from causing silent failures. install-agent.sh hardened for curl\|bash usage: --agent-id flag, =value syntax, /dev/tty stdin reopening, proper stderr routing in download_binary, non-interactive install examples in help text, and updated wizard commands.

shankar0123	93e1dc598c	fix: resolve frontend-to-backend mapping gaps across API types, config fields, and issuer IDs Full audit of all ~100 backend API endpoints against frontend client functions and TypeScript interfaces. Fixes field name mismatches, missing client functions, phantom interface fields, type coercion for Go bool/int config fields, and issuer type ID alignment with backend domain constants. Backend: - issuer.go/target.go: GUI-created entities default enabled=true (Go bool zero value was overriding DB DEFAULT) Frontend types (types.ts): - Certificate: fingerprint→fingerprint_sha256, phantom fields made optional - CertificateVersion: fingerprint→fingerprint_sha256, chain_pem→pem_chain, removed phantom version/cert_pem fields - Job: error_message→last_error (matches Go json tag) Frontend client (client.ts): - Added getNotification(id) and getAuditEvent(id) for existing backend routes Frontend pages: - CertificateDetailPage: derives serial/fingerprint/issuedAt from latest CertificateVersion instead of empty Certificate fields - JobsPage/JobDetailPage: error_message→last_error - TargetsPage: reload_cmd→reload_command, validate_cmd→validate_command, added missing config fields per backend structs (validate_command for NGINX/Apache, hostname/winrm_timeout for IIS, private_key/passphrase/ cert_mode/key_mode for SSH, winrm_https/winrm_insecure for WinCertStore, create_keystore for JavaKeystore, mode for Dovecot), type coercion via buildConfigPayload() with BOOL_FIELDS/INT_FIELDS sets, IIS WinRM nesting - TargetDetailPage: added passphrase to sensitiveKeys redaction - issuerTypes.ts: type IDs aligned to backend constants (acme→ACME, local→GenericCA, stepca→StepCA, openssl→OpenSSL), backward compat aliases preserved, step-ca config fields updated to match backend struct Utilities (utils.ts): - formatDate/formatDateTime accept string\|undefined\|null Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-04-05 21:09:48 -04:00
