feat(scep): mTLS sibling route /scep-mtls/<pathID> (opt-in)

SCEP RFC 8894 + Intune master bundle — Phase 6.5 of 14 (opt-in,
enterprise-procurement-checkbox).

Closes the procurement-team objection that 'shared password
authentication' is a checkbox-fail regardless of how strong the
password is. The clean answer: a sibling route that adds client-cert
auth at the handler layer AND keeps the challenge password (defense in
depth, not replacement). Devices present a bootstrap cert from a
trusted CA (e.g. a manufacturing-time cert), then SCEP-enroll for
their long-lived cert. Same model Apple's MDM and Cisco's BRSKI use.

internal/config/config.go
  * SCEPProfileConfig gains MTLSEnabled bool + MTLSClientCATrustBundlePath
    string. Indexed env-var loader reads
    CERTCTL_SCEP_PROFILE_<NAME>_MTLS_ENABLED +
    CERTCTL_SCEP_PROFILE_<NAME>_MTLS_CLIENT_CA_TRUST_BUNDLE_PATH.
  * Validate() refuses MTLSEnabled=true with empty bundle path —
    structural defense in depth ahead of the file-content preflight.

cmd/server/main.go
  * preflightSCEPMTLSTrustBundle: file existence + PEM parse + ≥1
    CERTIFICATE block + non-expired check. Returns the parsed
    *x509.CertPool ready to inject into the per-profile SCEPHandler.
    Failures os.Exit(1) with the offending PathID in the structured log.
  * SCEP startup loop walks each profile; when MTLSEnabled, runs
    preflight, builds the per-profile pool, contributes the bundle's
    certs to the union pool that backs the TLS-layer
    VerifyClientCertIfGiven, clones the SCEPHandler with
    SetMTLSTrustPool, and registers the parallel sibling route via
    apiRouter.RegisterSCEPMTLSHandlers.
  * Union pool published to outer scope as scepMTLSUnionPoolForTLS;
    passed to buildServerTLSConfigWithMTLS so the listener serves both
    /scep[/<pathID>] (no client cert) and /scep-mtls/<pathID>
    (cert required at handler layer) on the same socket.
  * Final-handler dispatch gains /scep-mtls + /scep-mtls/* prefix
    routing through the no-auth chain (auth boundary is the client
    cert + challenge password, NOT a Bearer token).

cmd/server/tls.go
  * New buildServerTLSConfigWithMTLS that wraps buildServerTLSConfig
    + sets ClientCAs + ClientAuth=VerifyClientCertIfGiven when a
    non-nil pool is passed. nil pool = identical TLS shape to the
    pre-Phase-6.5 builder (no behavior change for deploys without
    mTLS profiles).
  * Critical: VerifyClientCertIfGiven (NOT RequireAndVerifyClientCert)
    so a client that doesn't present a cert can still hit the standard
    /scep route. The per-profile gate at the handler layer enforces
    'cert required' on /scep-mtls/<pathID>.

internal/api/handler/scep.go
  * SCEPHandler gains mtlsTrustPool *x509.CertPool field +
    SetMTLSTrustPool method. Per-profile pool injected by
    cmd/server/main.go after preflight.
  * HandleSCEPMTLS wrapper: gates on r.TLS.PeerCertificates non-empty
    + per-profile cert.Verify against THIS profile's pool. Returns
    HTTP 401 for missing/untrusted cert (mTLS failure is auth, not
    authorization). Returns HTTP 500 if mtlsTrustPool is nil (deploy
    bug — the route shouldn't have been registered). On success
    delegates to HandleSCEP — defense in depth: mTLS is additive,
    NOT replacement; the standard SCEP code path including the
    challenge-password gate still executes.
  * Per-profile re-verification via cert.Verify(...) is critical:
    the TLS layer verified against the UNION pool, so a cert that
    chains to profile A's bundle would pass TLS even when targeting
    profile B. The handler-layer gate prevents cross-profile
    bleed-through.

internal/api/router/router.go
  * AuthExemptDispatchPrefixes gains '/scep-mtls' (auth boundary is
    client cert + challenge password, NOT Bearer token).
  * RegisterSCEPMTLSHandlers parallel to RegisterSCEPHandlers:
    empty PathID maps to /scep-mtls root; non-empty maps to
    /scep-mtls/<pathID>. Each handler in the map MUST have had
    SetMTLSTrustPool called.

internal/api/router/openapi_parity_test.go
  * SpecParityExceptions allowlists 'GET /scep-mtls' + 'POST
    /scep-mtls' since the wire format is identical to /scep —
    documenting both routes separately would duplicate every
    operation row with no information gain. Documented alternative
    in docs/legacy-est-scep.md.

internal/api/handler/scep_mtls_test.go (new, ~210 LoC)
  * 6 tests + 2 helpers covering the auth contract:
    1. RejectsMissingClientCert — request with r.TLS=nil → 401
    2. RejectsUntrustedClientCert — cert chains to a different
       CA → 401 (per-profile re-verification works)
    3. AcceptsTrustedClientCert — cert chains to THIS profile's
       pool → 200 (delegates to HandleSCEP)
    4. StillRoutesThroughHandleSCEP — pin Content-Type + body
       come from HandleSCEP delegate (defense in depth pin)
    5. NoTrustPool_Returns500 — handler with SetMTLSTrustPool
       never called → 500 (deploy-bug surface)
    6. StandardRoute_StillNoMTLS — pin /scep keeps working
       without a client cert even when mTLS pool is set
  * genSelfSignedECDSACA + signECDSAClientCert helpers materialise
    real cert chains (trusted-bootstrap-ca + trusted-device,
    untrusted-attacker-ca + untrusted-device) so the Verify path
    exercises real x509 chain validation, not mocks.

docs/features.md
  * SCEP env-vars table extended with the two new MTLS env vars
    (CERTCTL_SCEP_PROFILE_<NAME>_MTLS_ENABLED,
    CERTCTL_SCEP_PROFILE_<NAME>_MTLS_CLIENT_CA_TRUST_BUNDLE_PATH).
    Closes the G-3 'env var defined in Go but never documented' gate.

docs/legacy-est-scep.md
  * New 'mTLS sibling route (Phase 6.5, opt-in)' section covering
    opt-in env vars, TLS server config (union pool +
    VerifyClientCertIfGiven), handler-layer per-profile gate,
    full auth chain on /scep-mtls/<pathID>, operator migration
    workflow from challenge-password-only to challenge+mTLS.

cowork/CLAUDE.md::Active Focus
  * 'HALF 1 COMPLETE' updated from '(Phases 0-5 of 14 SHIPPED)' to
    '(Phases 0-6 + Phase 6.5 of 14 SHIPPED)'.

Verification:
  * gofmt + go vet + staticcheck clean across api/handler /
    api/router / config / cmd/server.
  * go test -short -count=1 green across api/handler (with the new
    scep_mtls_test.go) / api/router / service / config / pkcs7 /
    cmd/server / connector/issuer/local.
  * G-3 docs-drift CI guard local check: empty in both directions
    after the new MTLS env vars landed in features.md.
  * The constitutional test ('can an operator flip the bit and
    observe the behavior change end-to-end?') is YES: setting
    CERTCTL_SCEP_PROFILE_<NAME>_MTLS_ENABLED=true plus the trust
    bundle path produces a working /scep-mtls/<pathID> endpoint
    that accepts trusted client certs + rejects untrusted ones,
    with no further code changes required.

Phase 6.5 of 14 in SCEP RFC 8894 + Intune master bundle.
Half 1 (Phases 0-6 + 6.5) is now FEATURE-COMPLETE for the
ChromeOS / general-MDM use case. Half 2 (Phases 7-12) adds the
Microsoft Intune dynamic-challenge layer.

 **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.

Single certs are returned as raw DER for `GetCACert`, chains as PKCS#7.
+**Wire format:** Two paths, tried in order. The new RFC 8894 path (post-2026-04-29) parses the full PKIMessage shape: ContentInfo → SignedData → SignerInfo (POPO over auth-attrs verified via `internal/pkcs7/signedinfo.go::SignerInfo.VerifySignature` with the canonical SET-OF Attribute re-serialisation per RFC 5652 §5.4) → EnvelopedData (decrypted via `internal/pkcs7/envelopeddata.go::EnvelopedData.Decrypt` with RSA PKCS#1v1.5 keyTrans + AES-CBC content + constant-time PKCS#7 unpad to close the padding-oracle leak) → inner PKCS#10 CSR. Auth-attrs (messageType, transactionID, senderNonce) flow through to the service layer via `domain.SCEPRequestEnvelope`. The handler dispatches on messageType: PKCSReq (19) → initial enrollment; RenewalReq (17) → re-enrollment with chain validation; GetCertInitial (20) → polling stub returns FAILURE+badCertID. Responses are full CertRep PKIMessages (`internal/pkcs7/certrep.go::BuildCertRepPKIMessage`) signed by the per-profile RA cert/key with the issued cert chain encrypted to the device's transient signing cert (RFC 8894 §3.3.2). On parse failure the handler falls through to the legacy MVP path: base64-encoded PKCS#7 and raw CSR submissions are still accepted; responses use the legacy PKCS#7 certs-only shape via the shared `internal/pkcs7` package. The MVP fall-through is non-negotiable — backward compat with lightweight SCEP clients that don't speak full RFC 8894. Single certs are returned as raw DER for `GetCACert`, chains as PKCS#7.
 
 **Authentication:** SCEP endpoints at `/scep` and `/scep/*` are served unauthenticated at the HTTP layer — no Bearer token required — per RFC 8894 §3.2, which defines authentication via the `challengePassword` attribute (OID 1.2.840.113549.1.9.7) embedded in the PKCS#10 CSR rather than an HTTP credential. The HTTP dispatch is implemented in `cmd/server/main.go:buildFinalHandler`, which routes `/scep` and `/scep/*` through `noAuthHandler` (RequestID + structuredLogger + Recovery only). The `challengePassword` is mandatory: `preflightSCEPChallengePassword` at startup refuses to boot the control plane when `CERTCTL_SCEP_ENABLED=true` is set without `CERTCTL_SCEP_CHALLENGE_PASSWORD`, closing CWE-306 (missing authentication for a critical function). `SCEPService.PKCSReq` enforces the same invariant defense-in-depth — an empty `s.challengePassword` rejects every enrollment — and the password comparison uses `crypto/subtle.ConstantTimeCompare` to prevent response-time side-channel leakage.

The router exposes `/scep` (legacy, single-profile flat-env case) + `/scep/<pathID>` per non-empty profile.

+### CA Signing Abstraction
+
+The local issuer's CA private key is wrapped behind the `signer.Signer` interface in `internal/crypto/signer/`. Every CA-signing call site — leaf certificate issuance (`x509.CreateCertificate`), CRL generation (`x509.CreateRevocationList`), and OCSP response signing (`ocsp.CreateResponse`) — accesses the key through this interface rather than touching `crypto.Signer` directly. The interface embeds the stdlib `crypto.Signer` and adds a single `Algorithm() Algorithm` method so call sites can pick the matching `x509.SignatureAlgorithm` without reflecting on the concrete key type.

 **Bulk Revocation** (Fleet-Level Incident Response): For large-scale incidents like CA compromise or team infrastructure decommissioning, `POST /api/v1/certificates/bulk-revoke` revokes all certificates matching filter criteria in a single operation. Filter by profile, owner, team, agent group, or issuer to target the affected certificate set.

Concurrent regeneration requests for the same issuer are coalesced via an in-tree singleflight gate.

See [`crl-ocsp.md`](crl-ocsp.md) for endpoint examples (curl, OpenSSL, Firefox, Intune) and the responder cert lifecycle.
 
 Short-lived certificates (those assigned to profiles with TTL under 1 hour) are exempt from CRL and OCSP — their rapid expiry is considered sufficient revocation. This is a deliberate design choice to reduce infrastructure overhead for ephemeral machine-to-machine credentials.

+# CRL & OCSP — Revocation Status for Relying Parties
+
+This guide is the operator + relying-party reference for certctl's revocation
+status surfaces. It covers the wire format, endpoint URLs, configuration knobs,
+the OCSP responder cert lifecycle, and how to point common consumers
+(cert-manager, Firefox, OpenSSL) at the endpoints.
+
+If you're looking for the higher-level architecture, see
+[`architecture.md` § Security Model](architecture.md#security-model). If you're
+looking for the revocation policy / reason codes the API accepts, see
+[`api/openapi.yaml` § /certificates/{id}/revoke](../api/openapi.yaml).
+
+---
+
+## Conceptual overview
+
+**Why two formats.** RFC 5280 §5 defines a Certificate Revocation List (CRL)
+— a periodically-published, signed list of every revoked certificate for an
+issuer. RFC 6960 defines the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) — a
+request/response protocol that returns the status of a single certificate by
+serial number. CRLs are batch-friendly and cacheable; OCSP is point-query and
+fresh. Production PKI deployments serve both because different relying parties
+prefer different trade-offs:
+
+- Browsers (Firefox / Safari) prefer OCSP for freshness; some pin OCSP
+  stapling.
+- cert-manager and most Linux TLS clients fall back to CRL when OCSP is
+  unreachable.
+- Microsoft Intune / corporate device-state validators do periodic CRL pulls.
+- OpenSSL `s_client -status` exercises OCSP via the `Certificate Status
+  Request` extension during the handshake.
+
+certctl's local issuer publishes both, with a pre-generation cache so a busy
+CA does not DOS itself rebuilding the CRL on every fetch.
+
+**Why a separate OCSP responder cert.** RFC 6960 §2.6 + §4.2.2.2 strongly
+recommend that OCSP responses be signed by a delegated "OCSP responder cert"
+issued by the CA, NOT by the CA private key directly. The responder cert
+carries the `id-pkix-ocsp-nocheck` extension (RFC 6960 §4.2.2.2.1) so OCSP
+clients do not recursively check the responder cert's revocation status. This
+keeps the CA private key cold (an HSM operation per OCSP request would be
+prohibitive at scale) and lets the responder key live on disk, on a separate
+HSM partition, or rotate frequently while the CA key stays untouched.
+
+---
+
+## Endpoints
+
+All revocation endpoints live under `/.well-known/pki/` per RFC 8615 and run
+**unauthenticated** — relying parties without certctl API credentials must be
+able to validate revocation status. The HTTPS-only TLS 1.3 control plane
+applies; there is no plaintext fallback.

+### OCSP — Online Certificate Status Protocol
+
+certctl serves both the GET form (RFC 6960 §A.1.1, simple URL-path lookup)
+and the POST form (RFC 6960 §A.1.1, binary OCSPRequest body). Most
+production OCSP clients (Firefox, OpenSSL `s_client -status`, cert-manager,
+Intune) use POST. The GET form is preserved for ops curl-debugging.
+
+#### GET form
+
+```
+GET https://<host>/.well-known/pki/ocsp/{issuer_id}/{serial_hex}
+```
+
+| Field | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+| Method | `GET` |
+| Auth | None |
+| Response Content-Type | `application/ocsp-response` |
+| Response body | DER-encoded OCSPResponse signed by the **OCSP responder cert** (NOT the CA cert) |
+
+Example:
+
+```bash
+curl --cacert ca.crt \
+  -o response.der \
+  https://localhost:8443/.well-known/pki/ocsp/iss-local/a1b2c3d4
+
+openssl ocsp -respin response.der -text -CAfile ca.crt
+```
+
+#### POST form (the standard one)
+
+```
+POST https://<host>/.well-known/pki/ocsp/{issuer_id}
+Content-Type: application/ocsp-request
+Body: <DER-encoded OCSPRequest>
+```
+
+| Field | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+| Method | `POST` |
+| Auth | None |
+| Request Content-Type | `application/ocsp-request` |
+| Response Content-Type | `application/ocsp-response` |
+
+Example with OpenSSL building the request:
+
+```bash
+openssl ocsp -issuer ca.crt -cert leaf.crt -reqout request.der
+
+curl --cacert ca.crt \
+  -X POST \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/ocsp-request" \
+  --data-binary @request.der \
+  -o response.der \
+  https://localhost:8443/.well-known/pki/ocsp/iss-local
+
+openssl ocsp -respin response.der -text -CAfile ca.crt
+```
+
+The body-size limit applies (`http.MaxBytesReader` from middleware,
+default 1MB, configurable via `CERTCTL_MAX_BODY_SIZE`); a typical OCSPRequest
+is ~200 bytes so this is a generous cap.
+
+### Admin observability endpoint
+
+```
+GET https://<host>/api/v1/admin/crl/cache
+Authorization: Bearer <token-with-admin-flag>
+```
+
+Returns the per-issuer cache state — for ops dashboards, GUI badges, or
+"is the scheduler keeping up?" diagnostics. Admin-gated (M-008 admin-gated
+handler allowlist; non-admin Bearer callers receive HTTP 403). Response shape:
+
+```json

+    }
+  ],
+  "row_count": 1,
+  "generated_at": "2026-04-29T10:30:00Z"
+}
+```
+
+Issuers that have not yet had a CRL generated appear with `cache_present:
+false` so the GUI can render a "Not yet generated" pill rather than 404.

+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `CERTCTL_CRL_GENERATION_INTERVAL` | `1h` | How often the scheduler walks every CRL-supporting issuer and rebuilds. The HTTP handler reads from the cache, not from a per-request rebuild. |
+| `CERTCTL_OCSP_RESPONDER_KEY_DIR` | unset | **Operator MUST set in production.** Directory where the FileDriver persists each issuer's OCSP responder key (`ocsp-responder-<issuer_id>.key`). When unset, the responder service uses a temporary directory that does NOT survive restarts — fine for dev, NEVER for prod. |
+| `CERTCTL_OCSP_RESPONDER_ROTATION_GRACE` | `7d` | When the responder cert's `NotAfter` falls within this window, `EnsureResponder` rotates to a fresh cert+key on the next OCSP request or scheduler tick. |
+| `CERTCTL_OCSP_RESPONDER_VALIDITY` | `30d` | How long each newly-issued responder cert is valid for. Short by design — relying parties cache OCSP responses, not the responder cert chain, and `id-pkix-ocsp-nocheck` blocks recursive revocation checking on the responder itself. |
+
+The issuer-level CRL `nextUpdate` is derived from the generation timestamp +
+the configured CRL validity (currently a build-time constant in the
+`CRLCacheService`; configurable knob deferred until an operator asks).
+
+---
+
+## OCSP responder cert lifecycle
+
+1. **First OCSP request for an issuer (or scheduler tick).** The local
+   issuer's `SignOCSPResponse` calls into `OCSPResponderService.EnsureResponder`.
+2. **Cache lookup.** `EnsureResponder` queries the `ocsp_responders` table for
+   a row keyed by `issuer_id`.
+3. **Disk lookup.** If a row exists, the FileDriver reads the persisted key
+   from `<keydir>/ocsp-responder-<issuer_id>.key`. **Self-healing:** if the
+   row exists but the file is missing (operator pruned the keydir without
+   pruning the DB), the service treats this as "rotate now" rather than
+   crashing.
+4. **Rotation check.** If `cert.NotAfter < now + RotationGrace`, the service
+   generates a fresh ECDSA-P256 key, builds a `*x509.CertificateRequest`,
+   and asks the local issuer's existing `IssueCertificate` flow to sign it.
+   The signing template carries:
+   - `KeyUsage: x509.KeyUsageDigitalSignature` (signing OCSP responses)
+   - `ExtKeyUsage: x509.ExtKeyUsageOCSPSigning` (RFC 6960 §4.2.2.2)
+   - The `id-pkix-ocsp-nocheck` extension (OID `1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1.5`,
+     DER value `NULL`, RFC 6960 §4.2.2.2.1) wired through
+     `Certificate.ExtraExtensions`.
+5. **Persistence.** The new cert + key path are written to `ocsp_responders`
+   via an idempotent `INSERT … ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE`.
+6. **Response signing.** `ocsp.CreateResponse(caCert, responderCert,
+   template, responderSigner)` produces the response bytes; the responder
+   cert is included in the response chain so relying parties can validate
+   without a separate fetch.
+
+The race between scheduler-driven cache refresh and on-demand cache miss is
+collapsed by the `CRLCacheService`'s in-tree singleflight (a `sync.Map` of
+`*flightEntry` keyed by `issuer_id`). Concurrent generation requests for the
+same issuer wait on the in-flight result rather than each rebuilding from
+scratch.
+
+---
+
+## Pointing common consumers at the endpoints
+
+### cert-manager (Kubernetes)
+
+cert-manager's certificate-validation logic checks both the AIA OCSP URI
+embedded in the leaf and the CDP CRL URI. Both are populated automatically
+by the local issuer's certificate template — relying parties should NOT
+need any additional configuration. To verify:
+
+```bash
+openssl x509 -in leaf.crt -text -noout | grep -A1 "Authority Information Access"
+openssl x509 -in leaf.crt -text -noout | grep -A2 "CRL Distribution Points"
+```
+
+If your cert-manager pods cannot reach `https://<certctl-host>:8443/.well-known/pki/`,
+add a NetworkPolicy egress rule or expose the certctl service via the
+appropriate ingress class.
+
+### Firefox
+
+Firefox honors the AIA OCSP URI by default. To force-refresh the local
+revocation cache after revoking a cert in dev:
+
+```
+about:preferences#privacy → Certificates → Query OCSP responder servers
+```
+
+If Firefox reports `SEC_ERROR_OCSP_INVALID_SIGNING_CERT`, verify that the
+responder cert chain is reachable from the system trust store —
+`id-pkix-ocsp-nocheck` is a Firefox-strict extension and is set automatically
+on every responder cert certctl issues.
+
+### OpenSSL
+
+```bash
+# OCSP via stand-alone request
+openssl ocsp -issuer ca.crt -cert leaf.crt -url https://localhost:8443/.well-known/pki/ocsp/iss-local -CAfile ca.crt -text
+
+# OCSP via TLS Certificate Status Request extension
+openssl s_client -connect example.com:443 -status -CAfile ca.crt
+```
+
+### Intune (corporate device state)
+
+Intune device-compliance validators pull the CRL on a schedule (configured in
+the Intune admin console, default 24h). Configure the CRL distribution point
+to `https://<certctl-host>:8443/.well-known/pki/crl/<issuer_id>` and Intune
+will pull on its own cadence.
+
+---
+
+## What this release does NOT include (V3-Pro)
+
+The following are explicitly out of scope for the V2 (free) bundle and are
+tracked for the certctl Pro release:
+
+- **Delta CRLs (RFC 5280 §5.2.4).** Useful for very large CRLs (10k+
+  revoked certs); the data model already accommodates the Base CRL Number
+  reference but the pipeline only emits Base CRLs in V2.
+- **OCSP rate-limiting per relying party.** Per-IP token bucket on the OCSP
+  endpoint — V3-Pro because it justifies per-seat pricing for high-traffic
+  responders.
+- **OCSP stapling.** Server-side: cache pre-fetched OCSP responses + serve
+  in TLS handshake. Client-side: a "stapling fetcher" agent for non-stapling
+  origins.
+
+The MaxBytesReader cap is the only request-level guard in V2; the
+unauthenticated-by-design relying-party endpoints are intentionally not
+rate-limited per IP.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**`pki/crl/<issuer_id>` returns 404.** The issuer either does not support
+CRL signing (Vault, EJBCA, DigiCert serve their own CRL infrastructure;
+certctl's connectors return `nil` from `GenerateCRL` for these) or the
+issuer ID is wrong. Verify with `GET /api/v1/issuers`.
+
+**`pki/ocsp/<issuer_id>/<serial>` returns 200 but `openssl ocsp -text`
+shows "unauthorized".** Check that the serial in the URL is hex-encoded (no
+`0x` prefix, no leading zeros stripped, lowercase). Mismatched serials
+return an OCSP response with status `unauthorized` per RFC 6960 §2.3.
+
+**Admin cache endpoint returns 403.** The Bearer key does not carry the
+admin flag. M-008 gates this endpoint server-side; the GUI also gates the
+fetch on `useAuth().admin`. Either escalate the key (`certctl admin
+keys promote <key-id>`) or use a different identity.
+
+**Cache shows `is_stale: true` repeatedly.** The scheduler is not running
+(or not getting scheduled often enough). Check `CERTCTL_CRL_GENERATION_INTERVAL`
+and confirm the scheduler started: `grep crlGenerationLoop` in the server
+logs at startup.

+The CRL is **pre-generated** by the scheduler's `crlGenerationLoop` (`internal/scheduler/scheduler.go`) on a configurable interval (`CERTCTL_CRL_GENERATION_INTERVAL`, default 1h) and persisted in the `crl_cache` table (migration 000019). HTTP fetches read from the cache rather than rebuilding per request — a busy CA does not DOS itself at scale. Concurrent regeneration requests for the same issuer are coalesced via an in-tree singleflight gate (`internal/service/crl_cache.go`, ~30 LoC; no `golang.org/x/sync` dependency). Per-issuer generation events are recorded in `crl_generation_events` for ops visibility.
+
 Prior non-standard JSON CRL and authenticated `/api/v1/crl*` paths were removed in M-006 — RFC 5280 defines only the DER wire format and relying parties do not have API keys.
 
 ### OCSP Responder
 
-`GET /.well-known/pki/ocsp/{issuer_id}/{serial}` — signed OCSP responses (good/revoked/unknown) per RFC 6960. Served unauthenticated with `Content-Type: application/ocsp-response`. Signs with the issuing CA key; requires CA key access (Local CA, step-CA connectors).
+certctl serves both forms RFC 6960 §A.1.1 defines:
+
+- `GET /.well-known/pki/ocsp/{issuer_id}/{serial}` — URL-path lookup (useful for ops curl-debugging).
+- `POST /.well-known/pki/ocsp/{issuer_id}` — binary `application/ocsp-request` body (the form most production clients use: Firefox, OpenSSL `s_client -status`, cert-manager, Intune).
+
+Both forms are unauthenticated and return signed OCSP responses (good/revoked/unknown) with `Content-Type: application/ocsp-response`.
+
+OCSP responses are signed by a **dedicated per-issuer OCSP responder cert** (RFC 6960 §2.6 / §4.2.2.2, migration 000020) — NOT by the CA private key directly. The responder cert is generated on first OCSP request via `OCSPResponderService.EnsureResponder` (`internal/connector/issuer/local/ocsp_responder.go`), persisted in the `ocsp_responders` table, and carries the `id-pkix-ocsp-nocheck` extension (OID `1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1.5`, RFC 6960 §4.2.2.2.1) so OCSP clients do not recursively check the responder's own revocation status. The responder cert auto-rotates within `CERTCTL_OCSP_RESPONDER_ROTATION_GRACE` (default 7d) of expiry; new certs default to `CERTCTL_OCSP_RESPONDER_VALIDITY` (30d). Self-healing: if the persisted responder key file is missing (operator pruned the keydir), the service treats this as "rotate now" rather than crashing. Local CA + step-CA connectors expose CRL+OCSP; upstream issuers (Vault, EJBCA, DigiCert) serve their own infrastructure.
+
+### Admin Cache Observability
+
+`GET /api/v1/admin/crl/cache` — admin-gated (Bearer required, admin flag enforced server-side via `middleware.IsAdmin`; returns HTTP 403 for non-admin callers). Returns the per-issuer cache state: `crl_number`, `this_update`, `next_update`, `generated_at`, `generation_duration_ms`, `revoked_count`, `is_stale`, plus the most-recent N generation events. Used by ops dashboards and the GUI cert-detail page's cache-age badge. The handler is pinned to the M-008 admin-gated handler allowlist (`internal/api/handler/m008_admin_gate_test.go`) — adding a new admin endpoint without the regression triplet (`_NonAdmin_Returns403` / `_AdminExplicitFalse_Returns403` / `_AdminPermitted_ForwardsActor`) fails CI.
+
+### GUI Revocation Endpoints Panel
+
+The certificate-detail page (`web/src/pages/CertificateDetailPage.tsx`) renders a Revocation Endpoints card that shows the CRL Distribution Point URL (`https://<host>/.well-known/pki/crl/<issuer_id>`) and OCSP Responder URL (`https://<host>/.well-known/pki/ocsp/<issuer_id>`), plus two action buttons: "Test CRL fetch" (calls `fetchCRL(issuer_id)`, shows byte count + content-type) and "Check OCSP status" (calls `getOCSPStatus(issuer_id, serial_hex)`, shows DER response size). For admin callers, a cache-age badge ("Cache fresh · 2m ago" / "Cache stale" / "Not yet generated") consumes the admin observability endpoint above; non-admin callers don't trigger the fetch (gated client-side on `useAuth().admin`) so the badge cannot leak generation cadence.

 Certificates with profile TTL < 1 hour skip CRL/OCSP. Expiry is sufficient revocation for short-lived credentials.

+## SCEP RFC 8894 native implementation (post-2026-04-29)
+
+Prior to this bundle, certctl's SCEP server parsed `PKCS#7 SignedData` and
+treated the encapsulated content as a raw `PKCS#10 CSR` (the file-internal
+"MVP" comment at `internal/api/handler/scep.go:217` flagged this). That
+worked for lightweight MDM agents but failed against ChromeOS and most
+production MDM clients which expect full RFC 8894 wire format:
+`SignedData` wrapping an `EnvelopedData` encrypting the CSR to the RA
+cert's public key, with `signerInfo` POPO over the auth-attrs.
+
+The new RFC 8894 path runs FIRST; on any parse failure it falls through
+to the legacy MVP raw-CSR path so existing operators see no behavior
+change for their lightweight clients.
+
+### Required: RA cert + key
+
+The RFC 8894 path requires a Registration Authority cert + key pair.
+Clients encrypt their CSR to the RA cert's public key (RFC 8894 §3.2.2);
+the certctl server uses the RA key to decrypt and to sign the outbound
+CertRep PKIMessage signerInfo (RFC 8894 §3.3.2).

+
+ChromeOS specifically looks for `POSTPKIOperation` (non-base64 POST),
+`AES` (the now-implemented CBC content encryption), `SCEPStandard` (RFC
+8894 conformance), and `Renewal` (RenewalReq messageType-17 support).
+Older Cisco IOS clients also accept `SHA-256` and `SHA-512` per RFC 8894
+§3.5.2.
+
+### Supported messageTypes
+
+| Type | RFC 8894 § | Behavior |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `PKCSReq` (19) | §3.3.1 | Initial enrollment. Signer cert is the device's transient self-signed key. |
+| `RenewalReq` (17) | §3.3.1.2 | Re-enrollment. Signer cert MUST be a previously-issued cert from this issuer; service-side `verifyRenewalSignerCertChain` enforces. |
+| `GetCertInitial` (20) | §3.3.3 | Polling for pending requests. v1 returns `FAILURE+badCertID` because deferred-issuance isn't supported (every PKCSReq either succeeds or fails synchronously). |
+| `CertRep` (3) | §3.3.2 | Server response — never inbound. |
+
+### MVP backward-compatibility path
+
+Lightweight clients that send a stripped `SignedData` containing a raw
+CSR (no `EnvelopedData` wrapper, no `signerInfo` POPO) keep working: the
+handler tries the RFC 8894 path FIRST; on any parse failure it falls
+through to the legacy `extractCSRFromPKCS7` path. The legacy path uses
+the CSR's `challengePassword` attribute the same way as the RFC 8894
+path. Operators with existing lightweight-client deploys see zero
+behavior change.
+
+### Multi-profile dispatch (`/scep/<pathID>`)
+
+Real enterprise deploys run multiple SCEP endpoints from one certctl
+instance — corp-laptop CA, IoT CA, server CA — each with its own
+issuer + RA pair + challenge password. Configure via the indexed env-var
+form documented in [`features.md`](features.md): set
+`CERTCTL_SCEP_PROFILES=corp,iot,server` (a comma-separated list of
+profile names), then for each name supply the per-profile env-vars
+prefixed with `CERTCTL_SCEP_PROFILE_<NAME>_` followed by the suffix
+keys `_ISSUER_ID`, `_PROFILE_ID`, `_CHALLENGE_PASSWORD`, `_RA_CERT_PATH`,
+`_RA_KEY_PATH`. The `<NAME>` token resolves to the upper-cased profile
+name from the list. Each profile is independently validated at startup;
+per-profile failures log the offending PathID.
+
+The router exposes `/scep/corp`, `/scep/iot`, `/scep/server`. The legacy
+`/scep` root remains for the single-profile flat-env-var case (when
+`CERTCTL_SCEP_PROFILES` is unset). Per-profile preflight validates each
+RA pair independently; failures log the offending PathID.
+
+### ChromeOS Admin Console pointer
+
+In Google Admin Console → Devices → Networks → Certificates, register
+certctl's `/scep[/<pathID>]` URL as the SCEP server. Enter the challenge
+password from `CERTCTL_SCEP_CHALLENGE_PASSWORD` (or per-profile
+`CERTCTL_SCEP_PROFILE_<NAME>_CHALLENGE_PASSWORD`). ChromeOS pulls
+`GetCACert` first to retrieve the RA cert, then enrolls via
+PKIOperation.
+
+### RA cert rotation
+
+The RA cert is loaded once at startup and persisted in the handler's
+struct field; rotation requires a server restart (mirrors the
+`CERTCTL_SERVER_TLS_CERT_PATH` precedent in `cmd/server/tls.go`). The
+recommended cadence is annual rotation with a 30-day overlap during
+which both old + new RA certs are listed in `GetCACert`'s response (set
+the cert chain accordingly in your sub-CA hierarchy).
+
+### Must-staple per-profile policy (RFC 7633)
+
+When a `CertificateProfile` has `MustStaple = true`, the local issuer
+adds the `id-pe-tlsfeature` extension (OID `1.3.6.1.5.5.7.1.24`,
+non-critical, value `SEQUENCE OF INTEGER {5}`) to every issued cert.
+Browsers + modern TLS libraries that see this extension fail-closed on
+missing OCSP stapling responses — defense against revocation-bypass via
+OCSP blackholing.
+
+**Default policy:** `false`. Operators opt in once they've confirmed the
+TLS reverse proxy / load balancer staples OCSP responses. NGINX,
+HAProxy, Envoy all support stapling but it requires explicit config —
+turning must-staple on without verifying the TLS path will hard-fail
+browsers.
+
+Recommended for: Intune-deployed device certs (modern TLS clients);
+SCEP profiles serving general / legacy clients (ChromeOS, IoT) should
+stay `false` until the TLS path is verified.
+
+### mTLS sibling route (Phase 6.5, opt-in)
+
+SCEP is documented as application-layer-auth — the challenge password
+is the authentication boundary per RFC 8894 §3.2. But enterprise
+procurement teams routinely reject "shared password authentication" as
+a checkbox-fail regardless of how strong the password is. The clean
+answer: a **sibling** route at `/scep-mtls/<pathID>` that requires
+client-cert auth at the handler layer AND ALSO accepts the challenge
+password (defense in depth, not replacement). Devices present a
+bootstrap cert from a trusted CA (e.g. a manufacturing-time cert),
+then SCEP-enroll for their long-lived cert. Same model Apple's MDM and
+Cisco's BRSKI use.
+
+**Opt in per profile** by setting two env vars:
+
+```
+CERTCTL_SCEP_PROFILE_<NAME>_MTLS_ENABLED=true
+CERTCTL_SCEP_PROFILE_<NAME>_MTLS_CLIENT_CA_TRUST_BUNDLE_PATH=/etc/certctl/scep/<name>-bootstrap-cas.pem
+```
+
+The trust bundle is a PEM file containing the bootstrap-CA certs the
+operator allows to enroll. Operators with multiple bootstrap CAs
+concatenate them. The startup preflight
+(`cmd/server/main.go::preflightSCEPMTLSTrustBundle`) validates: file
+exists, parses as PEM, contains ≥1 cert, none expired. Failures
+`os.Exit(1)` with a structured log identifying the offending PathID.
+
+**TLS server config:** when at least one profile opts into mTLS, the
+HTTPS listener gets the union of every enabled profile's trust bundle
+as its `ClientCAs` pool, plus `ClientAuth: VerifyClientCertIfGiven` —
+the listener requests a client cert during the handshake, verifies it
+against the union pool if presented, and lets the handler decide
+whether to require it. This means the SAME listener serves both
+`/scep[/<pathID>]` (no client cert required) and `/scep-mtls/<pathID>`
+(cert required). The standard route stays untouched for clients that
+can't present a cert.
+
+**Handler-layer per-profile gate:** the TLS-layer check uses the union
+pool, so a cert that chains to profile A's bundle would pass the TLS
+handshake even when targeting profile B. The handler-layer gate
+(`HandleSCEPMTLS`) re-verifies the inbound client cert against ONLY
+THIS profile's pool — preventing cross-profile bleed-through.
+
+**Auth chain on the mTLS sibling route:**
+
+1. TLS handshake: client cert verified against the union pool
+   (if presented; absent = standard SCEP path applies but handler
+   rejects with 401).
+2. Handler-layer per-profile re-verification: cert must chain to
+   THIS profile's trust bundle. Mismatch = 401.
+3. Standard SCEP enrollment: `HandleSCEP` runs as on the standard
+   route — including the challenge-password gate at the service layer.
+
+A stolen device cert without the matching challenge password gets
+rejected (and vice versa). Both layers are independently required.
+
+**Operator workflow** for migrating from challenge-password-only to
+challenge+mTLS:
+
+1. Generate a bootstrap CA + issue a bootstrap cert per device (out
+   of band — typically manufacturing-time, MDM-pushed, or a separate
+   PKI flow). 
+2. Distribute the trust bundle to certctl as the
+   `_MTLS_CLIENT_CA_TRUST_BUNDLE_PATH`.
+3. Set `_MTLS_ENABLED=true` for the profile, restart certctl.
+4. Devices now have TWO valid enrollment URLs:
+   `/scep/<pathID>` (challenge-password-only, legacy) and
+   `/scep-mtls/<pathID>` (cert + challenge, new).
+5. Roll out config to fleet that switches devices to the new URL.
+6. Once the fleet has migrated, remove `_CHALLENGE_PASSWORD` from the
+   profile (Validate() will keep the gate when MTLSEnabled=true so
+   the password requirement doesn't go away — the password is still
+   the application-layer auth boundary).
+
+### Operational notes
+
+- **Audit:** every enrollment emits an `audit_event` row with action
+  `scep_pkcsreq` (initial) or `scep_renewalreq` (renewal); operators
+  can grep the audit log to distinguish.
+- **Body-size cap:** `http.MaxBytesReader` middleware caps request
+  bodies at `CERTCTL_MAX_BODY_SIZE` (default 1MB); SCEP PKIMessages are
+  typically <50KB so the default cap is generous.
+- **HTTPS-only:** the SCEP endpoint inherits the TLS-1.3-pinned control
+  plane; there is no plaintext fallback.
+- **Forward reference:** for Microsoft Intune deployments specifically,
+  see [`scep-intune.md`](scep-intune.md) (the doc Phase 11 of the
+  master bundle ships).

+certctl pin: `internal/connector/issuer/local/local.go::GenerateCRL` — assert emitted CRL includes `nextUpdate`, that `nextUpdate > thisUpdate`, and that the gap matches the connector's hard-coded validity period (currently 7 days; a configurable knob is forward-looking).

+**Test vector — CRL revocation reason code (RFC 5280 §5.3.1):**
+
+> Source: RFC 5280 §5.3.1. CRLReason is `ENUMERATED { unspecified (0), keyCompromise (1), cACompromise (2), affiliationChanged (3), superseded (4), cessationOfOperation (5), certificateHold (6), removeFromCRL (8), privilegeWithdrawn (9), aACompromise (10) }`.

+Revocation reason: keyCompromise

+
+certctl pin: `internal/service/certificate_service.go::Revoke` validates reason is in {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10}. Test must assert reason=7 (reserved) and reason=11+ (out of range) both return ErrInvalidRevocationReason.

+
+> Source: RFC 5280 §5.2.5. The IDP extension MAY be marked critical. When present, it identifies the CRL distribution point and reasons covered. certctl v2 emits no IDP (full CRL); per-issuer partitioned CRLs with IDP are forward-looking.
+
+certctl pin: assert v2 mode produces no IDP extension. The partitioned-mode assertion (critical IDP extension with `distributionPoint.fullName.uniformResourceIdentifier` matching `https://<host>/.well-known/pki/crl/<issuer_id>`) becomes a positive test once partitioned CRL support lands.
+
+**Test vector — Delta CRL handling (RFC 5280 §5.2.4):**
+
+> Source: RFC 5280 §5.2.4. Delta CRLs reference a base CRL via the DeltaCRLIndicator extension (criticality REQUIRED). certctl does **not** emit delta CRLs in v2 — every CRL is a full CRL. The test must assert NO DeltaCRLIndicator extension is present in any certctl-issued CRL (RFC 5280 §5.2.4 mandates the extension be critical when present, so its presence on a non-delta CRL would be a parsing error in relying parties).
+
+certctl pin: assert `crl.Extensions` contains no OID `2.5.29.27` (id-ce-deltaCRLIndicator).

+// Bundle CRL/OCSP-Responder, Phase 2 — separate OCSP responder cert.
+//
+// Per RFC 6960 §2.6 + §4.2.2.2 the OCSP responder SHOULD be either the
+// CA itself OR a cert issued by the CA with the id-kp-OCSPSigning EKU.
+// The dedicated-responder shape is preferred because:
+//
+//   1. Every OCSP request signs ONE message — high-volume CAs see
+//      thousands of OCSP polls per day. If those signs all use the
+//      CA private key (the historical certctl behaviour), every
+//      poll is a CA-key operation. With a separate responder cert,
+//      the CA key signs only the responder cert (rarely — once per
+//      ocspResponderValidity, default 30d) and OCSP polls hit the
+//      responder key.
+//   2. When the CA key lives on an HSM (PKCS#11 driver, item 3 in
+//      the V3-Pro roadmap), case (1) becomes a hard constraint —
+//      every OCSP poll = HSM op = HSM-rate-limit pressure +
+//      audit-volume blowup. The dedicated responder cert lives on
+//      a cheaper (or even non-HSM) Signer driver.
+//   3. The id-pkix-ocsp-nocheck extension (RFC 6960 §4.2.2.2.1) on
+//      the responder cert tells OCSP clients NOT to recursively
+//      check the responder cert's revocation status, breaking what
+//      would otherwise be an infinite recursion.
+//
+// This file implements the bootstrap + rotation. The responder cert
+// is issued by the local CA (signed with c.caSigner via
+// x509.CreateCertificate); the responder key is generated via the
+// configured signer.Driver and persisted to disk (FileDriver) or to
+// whatever backing store future drivers (PKCS#11, KMS) bring.
+//
+// When SetOCSPResponderRepo + SetSignerDriver + SetIssuerID have all
+// been called, SignOCSPResponse takes the dedicated-responder path.
+// Otherwise it falls back to signing with the CA key directly (the
+// pre-Phase-2 behaviour) — preserving backward compatibility for any
+// caller that wires the local connector without the responder deps.

+//   - The signature is over DER(SET OF signedAttrs) — the canonical CMS
