fix(gui): wire create modal onSuccess callbacks and fix short-lived profile UX

- All 5 create modals (Profiles, Teams, Owners, Policies, Agent Groups)
  had no-op onSuccess callbacks — API call fired but modal never closed
  and list never refreshed. Wired invalidateQueries + setShowCreate.
- Removed silent try/catch error swallowing so API errors surface in UI.
- Profile create: auto-set TTL to 300s when short-lived checkbox enabled
  with TTL >= 3600, added validation hint and warning text.

 ## Why certctl Exists

 certctl fills that gap. It's **CA-agnostic** — the issuer connector interface means you can plug in any certificate authority: a self-signed local CA for dev, Let's Encrypt via ACME for public certs, Smallstep step-ca for your private PKI, your enterprise ADCS via sub-CA mode, or any custom CA through a shell script adapter. You're never locked to a single CA vendor, and you can run multiple issuers simultaneously for different certificate types.
 
-It's also **target-agnostic**. Agents deploy certificates to NGINX, Apache, and HAProxy today, with Traefik and Caddy support coming next — all using the same pluggable connector model for any server that accepts cert files. The control plane never initiates outbound connections — agents poll for work, which means certctl works behind firewalls, across network zones, and in air-gapped environments.

 ## What It Does
 
-certctl gives you a single pane of glass for every TLS certificate in your organization. The **web dashboard** shows your full certificate inventory — what's healthy, what's expiring, what's already expired, and who owns each one. The **REST API** (95 endpoints under `/api/v1/` + `/.well-known/est/`) lets you automate everything. **Agents** deployed on your infrastructure generate private keys locally, discover existing certificates on disk, and submit CSRs — private keys never leave your servers. The **network scanner** discovers certificates on TLS endpoints across your infrastructure without requiring agents. The **EST server** (RFC 7030) enables device and WiFi certificate enrollment via industry-standard Enrollment over Secure Transport. The background scheduler watches expiration dates and triggers renewals automatically — when certificate lifespans drop to 47 days, certctl handles the constant rotation without human involvement.
+certctl gives you a single pane of glass for every TLS certificate in your organization:
 
-**Core capabilities:**
+- **Web dashboard** — full certificate inventory with status, ownership, expiration heatmaps, and bulk operations
+- **REST API** — 93 endpoints under `/api/v1/` + `/.well-known/est/` for complete automation
+- **Agents** — generate private keys locally, discover existing certs on disk, submit CSRs (private keys never leave your servers)
+- **Network scanner** — discovers certificates on TLS endpoints across CIDR ranges without requiring agents
+- **EST server** (RFC 7030) — device and WiFi certificate enrollment via industry-standard protocol
+- **Approval workflows** — require human sign-off on renewals before deployment
+- **Background scheduler** — watches expiration dates and triggers renewals automatically, handling constant rotation at 47-day lifespans without human involvement
 
-- **Full lifecycle automation** — issuance, renewal, deployment, and revocation with zero human intervention. Configurable renewal policies trigger jobs automatically based on expiration thresholds.
+For the full capability breakdown — revocation infrastructure, policy engine, observability, EST enrollment, and more — see the [Feature Inventory](docs/features.md).
-- **CA-agnostic issuer connectors** — Local CA (self-signed + sub-CA for enterprise root chains), ACME v2 with HTTP-01, DNS-01, and DNS-PERSIST-01 challenges (Let's Encrypt, ZeroSSL, Sectigo, Google Trust Services, any ACME-compatible CA), External Account Binding (EAB) for CAs that require it (auto-fetched for ZeroSSL), Smallstep step-ca (native /sign API), and OpenSSL/Custom CA (delegate to any shell script). Pluggable interface — add your own CA in one file.
+
-- **Agent-side key generation** — agents generate ECDSA P-256 keys locally, store them with 0600 permissions, and submit only the CSR. Private keys never touch the control plane. This is the default mode, not an opt-in feature.
+## Supported Integrations
-- **Certificate discovery** — agents scan filesystems for existing PEM/DER certificates and report findings for triage. The network scanner probes TLS endpoints across CIDR ranges to find certificates you didn't know existed.
+
-- **Revocation infrastructure** — RFC 5280 revocation with all standard reason codes, DER-encoded X.509 CRL per issuer, embedded OCSP responder, and short-lived certificate exemption (certs under 1 hour skip CRL/OCSP).
+### Certificate Issuers
-- **Policy engine** — 5 rule types with violation tracking and severity levels. Certificate profiles enforce allowed key types, maximum TTL, and crypto constraints at enrollment time.
+| Issuer | Status | Type |
-- **Immutable audit trail** — every action recorded to an append-only log. Every API call recorded with method, path, actor, SHA-256 body hash, response status, and latency. No update or delete on audit records.
+|--------|--------|------|
-- **Operational dashboard** — Full React GUI with certificate inventory, bulk operations (multi-select renew/revoke/reassign), deployment timeline visualization, inline policy editing, agent fleet overview, expiration heatmaps, and real-time short-lived credential tracking.
+| Local CA (self-signed + sub-CA) | Implemented | `GenericCA` |
-- **Observability** — JSON and Prometheus metrics endpoints, 5 stats API endpoints for dashboards, structured slog logging with request ID propagation. Compatible with Prometheus, Grafana Agent, Datadog Agent, and Victoria Metrics.
+| ACME v2 (Let's Encrypt, Sectigo) | Implemented (HTTP-01 + DNS-01 + DNS-PERSIST-01) | `ACME` |
-- **Notifications** — threshold-based alerting with deduplication. Routes to email, webhooks, Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, and OpsGenie.
+| ACME EAB (ZeroSSL, Google Trust) | Implemented (auto-fetch EAB from ZeroSSL) | `ACME` |
-- **EST enrollment (RFC 7030)** — built-in Enrollment over Secure Transport server for device certificate enrollment. Supports WiFi/802.1X, MDM, and IoT use cases. PKCS#7 certs-only wire format, accepts PEM or base64-encoded DER CSRs, configurable issuer and profile binding.
+| step-ca | Implemented | `StepCA` |
-- **Multi-purpose certificates** — certificate profiles support arbitrary EKU (Extended Key Usage) constraints. TLS (serverAuth/clientAuth) today, with S/MIME (emailProtection) and code signing support coming in v2.0.2.
+| OpenSSL / Custom CA | Implemented | `OpenSSL` |
-- **AI and CLI access** — MCP server exposes all 78 API operations as tools for Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. CLI tool with 12 subcommands for terminal workflows and scripting.
+| Vault PKI | Future | — |
+| DigiCert | Future | — |
+
+**Note:** ADCS integration is handled via the Local CA's sub-CA mode — certctl operates as a subordinate CA with its signing certificate issued by ADCS. Any CA with a shell-accessible signing interface can be integrated today via the OpenSSL/Custom CA connector.
+
+### Deployment Targets
+| Target | Status | Type |
+|--------|--------|------|
+| NGINX | Implemented | `NGINX` |
+| Apache httpd | Implemented | `Apache` |
+| HAProxy | Implemented | `HAProxy` |
+| Traefik | Implemented | `Traefik` |
+| Caddy | Implemented | `Caddy` |
+| F5 BIG-IP | Interface only | `F5` |
+| Microsoft IIS | Interface only | `IIS` |
+
+### Notifiers
+| Notifier | Status | Type |
+|----------|--------|------|
+| Email (SMTP) | Implemented | `Email` |
+| Webhooks | Implemented | `Webhook` |
+| Slack | Implemented | `Slack` |
+| Microsoft Teams | Implemented | `Teams` |
+| PagerDuty | Implemented | `PagerDuty` |

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

 ### API Audit Log
 
-In addition to application-level audit events, certctl records every HTTP API call via middleware. The audit middleware captures method, path, actor (extracted from auth context), SHA-256 request body hash (truncated to 16 characters), response status code, and request latency. Health and readiness probes are excluded to avoid noise.
+In addition to application-level audit events, certctl records every HTTP API call via middleware. The audit middleware captures method, URL path (excluding query parameters — see security note below), actor (extracted from auth context), SHA-256 request body hash (truncated to 16 characters), response status code, and request latency. Health and readiness probes are excluded to avoid noise.
+
+**Security: Query Parameter Exclusion** — The audit middleware intentionally records `r.URL.Path` only (not `r.URL.String()` or `r.RequestURI`). Query strings may contain cursor tokens, API keys passed as params, or other sensitive filter values. Since the audit trail is append-only with no deletion capability, any sensitive data recorded would persist permanently.
 
 Audit recording is async (via goroutine) so it never blocks the HTTP response. If audit persistence fails, the error is logged immediately — the API call still succeeds. The middleware sits after the auth middleware in the stack so the actor identity is available from context.
 
+### Input Validation and SSRF Protection
+
+All shell-facing inputs (connector scripts, domain names, ACME tokens) are validated through `internal/validation/command.go` before reaching shell execution. `ValidateShellCommand()` denies all shell metacharacters. `ValidateDomainName()` enforces RFC 1123. `ValidateACMEToken()` restricts to base64url characters. The network scanner filters reserved IP ranges (loopback, link-local including cloud metadata 169.254.169.254, multicast, broadcast) to prevent SSRF, while preserving RFC 1918 private ranges for legitimate internal scanning.
+
+### Request Body Size Limits
+
+All incoming HTTP request bodies are capped by `http.MaxBytesReader` middleware (default 1MB, configurable via `CERTCTL_MAX_BODY_SIZE`). Requests exceeding the limit receive a 413 Request Entity Too Large response. The middleware is positioned before authentication in the chain so oversized payloads are rejected early, before any auth processing or database work occurs. Requests without bodies (GET, HEAD, nil body) skip the limit check.

+CORS uses a **deny-by-default** posture: when `CERTCTL_CORS_ORIGINS` is empty, no CORS headers are set and only same-origin requests can read responses. Operators must explicitly configure allowed origins. This prevents accidental exposure of the API to cross-origin requests in production.
+
+### Middleware Chain Order
+
+The HTTP middleware stack processes requests in the following order (see `cmd/server/main.go`):
+
+1. **RequestID** - assigns unique request ID for correlation
+2. **Logging** - structured slog middleware with request ID propagation
+3. **Recovery** - panic recovery (catches panics in downstream middleware/handlers)
+4. **BodyLimit** - request body size cap via `http.MaxBytesReader`
+5. **RateLimiter** - token bucket rate limiting (optional, when enabled)
+6. **CORS** - cross-origin request handling (deny-by-default)
+7. **Auth** - API key or JWT validation
+8. **AuditLog** - records every API call to the audit trail (requires auth context for actor)
+
+### Concurrency Safety
+
+The background scheduler uses `sync/atomic.Bool` idempotency guards on all 6 loops — if a tick fires while the previous iteration is still running, it skips. A `sync.WaitGroup` tracks all in-flight goroutines. `WaitForCompletion(timeout)` blocks during shutdown until all work finishes or the timeout expires, preventing state corruption from mid-flight database operations during process exit.
+
 ### Logging
 
 All logging throughout the service layer uses Go's `log/slog` package for structured, queryable logs. This replaces ad-hoc `fmt.Printf` statements with consistent key-value logging that includes request context, operation names, and error details. Agents also implement exponential backoff on network failures to gracefully handle temporary connectivity issues with the control plane.

 **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.

 **How it works:** There are two discovery modes. *Filesystem discovery* — agents scan configured directories (configured via `CERTCTL_DISCOVERY_DIRS`) for certificate files. On startup and every 6 hours, the agent walks directories recursively, parses PEM and DER files, extracts metadata, and reports findings to the control plane. *Network discovery* — the control plane itself probes TLS endpoints across configured CIDR ranges and ports (enabled via `CERTCTL_NETWORK_SCAN_ENABLED=true`). It connects to each endpoint, extracts certificates from the TLS handshake, and feeds results into the same discovery pipeline. This finds certificates on services you may not have agents on. In both cases, the server deduplicates by fingerprint and stores discovered certs with a status: **Unmanaged** (discovered but not yet managed), **Managed** (linked to a control plane cert), or **Dismissed** (operator decided not to manage it).
 
 This gives you a three-step triage workflow:
-1. **Discover** — Agents find all existing certs on your infrastructure

+Network scan targets are managed from the **Network Scans** dashboard page — create CIDR ranges and ports to probe, enable/disable targets, trigger on-demand scans, and view results. Discovered certificates from network scans appear in the same Discovery triage page alongside filesystem discoveries.

+The Traefik connector uses Traefik's file provider — it writes certificate and key files to a watched directory, and Traefik automatically picks up the changes without any explicit reload command. This is the simplest deployment model: write the files, and Traefik does the rest.

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

+

+### Post-Deployment TLS Verification (M25)
+
+After deploying a certificate, the agent connects back to the target's live TLS endpoint and verifies the served certificate matches what was deployed — using SHA-256 fingerprint comparison. This catches failures that deployment commands can't: wrong virtual host, stale cache, config that validates but doesn't apply.

+## Part 27: Post-Deployment TLS Verification
+
+### Why test this?
+
+Post-deployment verification is the final confidence check: after a certificate is deployed to a target, the agent probes the live TLS endpoint and confirms the served certificate matches what was deployed. This catches silent failures where a reload command exits 0 but the certificate doesn't take effect.
+
+### 27.1: Submit Verification Result (Success)
+
+```bash
+# Create a deployment job first (or use an existing completed deployment job ID)
+JOB_ID="j-deploy-001"
+
+# Submit a successful verification result
+curl -X POST -H "$AUTH" -H "$CT" $SERVER/api/v1/jobs/$JOB_ID/verify -d '{
+  "target_id": "tgt-nginx-prod",
+  "expected_fingerprint": "sha256:abc123def456",
+  "actual_fingerprint": "sha256:abc123def456",
+  "verified": true
+}'
+```
+
+**Expected:** 200 OK with `{"job_id": "j-deploy-001", "verified": true, "verified_at": "..."}`.
+**PASS if** response contains `verified: true` and a valid `verified_at` timestamp.
+
+### 27.2: Submit Verification Result (Failure — Fingerprint Mismatch)
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST -H "$AUTH" -H "$CT" $SERVER/api/v1/jobs/$JOB_ID/verify -d '{
+  "target_id": "tgt-nginx-prod",
+  "expected_fingerprint": "sha256:abc123def456",
+  "actual_fingerprint": "sha256:zzz999different",
+  "verified": false,
+  "error": "fingerprint mismatch"
+}'
+```
+
+**Expected:** 200 OK with `verified: false`.
+**PASS if** verification failure recorded without error status code (verification is best-effort).
+
+### 27.3: Get Verification Status
+
+```bash
+curl -H "$AUTH" $SERVER/api/v1/jobs/$JOB_ID/verification | jq .
+```
+
+**Expected:** Returns the verification result previously submitted.
+**PASS if** response includes `job_id`, `verified`, `verified_at`, and `actual_fingerprint`.
+
+### 27.4: Missing Required Fields
+
+```bash
+# Missing target_id
+curl -X POST -H "$AUTH" -H "$CT" $SERVER/api/v1/jobs/$JOB_ID/verify -d '{
+  "expected_fingerprint": "sha256:abc",
+  "actual_fingerprint": "sha256:abc",
+  "verified": true
+}'
+```
+
+**Expected:** 400 Bad Request with message about missing `target_id`.
+**PASS if** status code is 400.
+
+### 27.5: Audit Trail
+
+```bash
+curl -H "$AUTH" "$SERVER/api/v1/audit?action=job_verification_success" | jq '.data[0]'
+```
+
+**Expected:** Audit event recorded with verification details (job_id, target_id, fingerprints).
+**PASS if** audit event exists with expected action and details.
+
+### 27.6: Database Schema Verification
+
+```bash
+docker compose exec postgres psql -U certctl -d certctl -c \
+  "SELECT column_name, data_type FROM information_schema.columns WHERE table_name='jobs' AND column_name LIKE 'verification%';"
+```
+
+**Expected:** Four columns: `verification_status`, `verified_at`, `verification_fingerprint`, `verification_error`.
+**PASS if** all four columns exist with correct types.

+## Part 28: Traefik & Caddy Target Connectors
+
+### Why test this?
+
+Traefik and Caddy are increasingly popular reverse proxies. Testing ensures cert deployment works with their specific file-watching and admin API patterns.
+
+### 28.1: Traefik File Provider Deployment
+
+**Setup:** Configure a target with type `Traefik` pointing to a test directory.
+
+```bash
+# Create a Traefik target
+curl -X POST -H "$AUTH" -H "$CT" $SERVER/api/v1/targets -d '{
+  "name": "Traefik Test",
+  "type": "Traefik",
+  "agent_id": "a-test-agent",
+  "config": {
+    "cert_dir": "/tmp/traefik-certs",
+    "cert_file": "test.crt",
+    "key_file": "test.key"
+  }
+}'
+```
+
+**Expected:** 201 Created with target details.
+**PASS if** target created with type `Traefik` and config fields preserved.
+
+### 28.2: Caddy API Mode Deployment
+
+```bash
+# Create a Caddy target in API mode
+curl -X POST -H "$AUTH" -H "$CT" $SERVER/api/v1/targets -d '{
+  "name": "Caddy API Test",
+  "type": "Caddy",
+  "agent_id": "a-test-agent",
+  "config": {
+    "mode": "api",
+    "admin_api": "http://localhost:2019",
+    "cert_dir": "/etc/caddy/certs",
+    "cert_file": "test.crt",
+    "key_file": "test.key"
+  }
+}'
+```
+
+**Expected:** 201 Created.
+**PASS if** target created with mode `api` and `admin_api` URL preserved.
+
+### 28.3: Caddy File Mode Deployment
+
+```bash
+# Create a Caddy target in file mode
+curl -X POST -H "$AUTH" -H "$CT" $SERVER/api/v1/targets -d '{
+  "name": "Caddy File Test",
+  "type": "Caddy",
+  "agent_id": "a-test-agent",
+  "config": {
+    "mode": "file",
+    "cert_dir": "/etc/caddy/certs",
+    "cert_file": "test.crt",
+    "key_file": "test.key"
+  }
+}'
+```
+
+**Expected:** 201 Created.
+**PASS if** target created with mode `file`.
+
+### 28.4: Agent Connector Dispatch
+
+Verify the agent binary recognizes Traefik and Caddy target types from the work endpoint response. This requires a running agent with deployment jobs assigned to Traefik/Caddy targets.
+
+**Expected:** Agent logs show connector instantiation for the target type (e.g., "deploying to Traefik target" or "deploying to Caddy target").
+**PASS if** agent does not error with "unknown target type" for Traefik or Caddy.
+
+### 28.5: Connector Unit Tests
+
+```bash
+go test ./internal/connector/target/traefik/... -v
+go test ./internal/connector/target/caddy/... -v
+```
+
+**Expected:** All tests pass.
+**PASS if** exit code 0 for both test suites.

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