docs(readme): audit pass — fix 7 stale/inaccurate claims

Each claim ground-truthed against the live repo, not memory.

Numeric drift (claims rotted since they were written):
- Screenshot caption 'Catalog with 10 CA types' → 12 (matches
  internal/connector/issuerfactory/factory.go enumeration).
- '33-permission canonical catalogue' → dropped the number.
  33 was the base in migration 000029; across all 45 migrations
  82 unique perms are seeded (+5 admin / +7 OIDC / +2 break-glass
  / +33 audit-CRIT-1 / +2 user). 'Fine-grained permission
  catalogue' is monotonic prose.
- 'PostgreSQL 16 backend (35+ tables, idempotent migrations)' →
  '…backend with idempotent migrations'. Actual table count is
  49 across 45 migrations; bare 'idempotent migrations' is
  drift-proof.
- Demo overlay seeds '32 certificates across 10 issuers, 8
  agents, 180 days' → '180 days of realistic history across 13
  issuers, 8 agents, managed + discovered certs, jobs, deploys,
  audit, and notification events'. seed_demo.sql actually seeds
  14 managed certs + 16 cert versions + 12 discovered, 13
  issuers (not 10), 8 agents ✓, 23 INTERVAL '180 days' refs ✓.
- 'golangci-lint (11 linters)' → '(govet + staticcheck +
  contextcheck + unused)'. .golangci.yml lists exactly 4 active
  linters; 6 others are commented-out 'temporarily disabled' so
  neither 4 nor 10 explains 11.

Broken Helm one-liner (silently no-ops because --set against a
nonexistent path doesn't error):
- '--set server.apiKey=…' → 'server.auth.apiKey'
  (deploy/helm/certctl/values.yaml:147 + templates/server-
  secret.yaml:16).
- '--set postgres.password=…' → 'postgresql.password'
  (top-level key is 'postgresql', not 'postgres'; password sits
  at postgresql.password per values.yaml:315).

Verified accurate (no change):
- 12 issuers / 15 targets / 6 notifiers (factory + dir listings).
- 7 default roles seeded in migration 000029.
- Coverage thresholds (service 70 / handler 75 / crypto 88 /
  auth packages 85-95) against .github/coverage-thresholds.yml.
- All 6 OIDC runbooks present (auth0 / authentik / azure-ad /
  google-workspace / keycloak / okta).
- 4 referenced screenshots all exist on disk.
- 8 agents in demo seed, 180 days of history.
- RFC 9700 §4.7.1 / 9207 / 8555 / 9773 / 8894 / 9266 / 5280 /
  6960 citations match source.
- ChromeOS in SCEP description matches source.
- install-agent.sh uses uname for OS / arch detection +
  systemd (Linux) / launchd (macOS).

+internal/auth/oidc:

+  why: |
+    Bundle 2 Phase 3 — OIDC service coverage gate. Phase 3 spec
+    pins the floor at 90 explicitly because every fail-closed
+    branch is load-bearing for the security posture: alg pinning
+    (deny-list HS*/none + allow-list RS*/ES*/EdDSA), audience
+    re-check, azp enforcement on multi-aud tokens, at_hash
+    REQUIRED-when-access-token-present (Phase 3 lifts the OIDC
+    core "MAY" to a service-level "MUST"), iat-window window,
+    nonce constant-time-compare, single-use state replay defense,
+    PKCE-S256 mandatory, IdP downgrade-attack defense at
+    provider-load + RefreshKeys time, JWKS-fail-closed semantics,
+    group-claim resolution + userinfo-fallback fail-closed
+    semantics, token-leak hygiene. A regression in any one of
+    these branches is a security incident; the floor catches it
+    before the commit lands. The mock-IdP fixture in

+
+internal/auth/oidc/groupclaim:
+  floor: 95
+  why: |
+    Bundle 2 Phase 3 — group-claim resolver. Hand-rolled (no
+    JSON-path dep per Decision 10); ~150 LOC, every branch
+    exercised by 19 unit tests covering the documented IdP shapes
+    (Okta string array, Keycloak realm_access.roles, Auth0
+    namespaced URL claim, single-string normalization,
+    deeply-nested 3-segment walks) plus every fail-closed branch
+    (empty path, missing key, missing nested key, non-object
+    intermediate, bool/number/object/nil values, array with
+    non-string element, URL-shape with dots-in-path treated as
+    literal). Resolver should be at 100%; floor at 95 leaves a
+    1-statement margin for future error-message refactors.
+
+internal/auth/oidc/domain:
+  floor: 90
+  why: |
+    Bundle 2 Phase 1 — OIDCProvider + GroupRoleMapping domain.
+    Validation-heavy package; constructors + Validate methods
+    cover all canonical IdP shapes (Okta / Azure AD / Google
+    Workspace / Keycloak / Authentik / Auth0). Floor at 90 to
+    catch any future field that ships without a validator.
+
+internal/auth/session:
+  floor: 90
+  why: |
+    Bundle 2 Phase 4 — session lifecycle service. Phase 4 spec
+    pins the floor at 90 because every fail-closed branch carries
+    a security invariant: HMAC-SHA256 cookie signing with a
+    LENGTH-PREFIXED canonical input (defeats the
+    `<a, bc>`-vs-`<ab, c>` concatenation collision attack on the
+    bare-concat form), v1. version-prefix lock, idle expiry,
+    absolute expiry, revocation, retired-but-in-retention key
+    success path, retired-past-retention failure path, CSRF
+    constant-time compare against the SHA-256-hashed copy on the
+    session row, optional IP/UA-bind defense-in-depth gates,
+    fail-fatal initial-key bootstrap. A regression in any one of
+    these branches is a security incident; the floor catches it
+    before the commit lands. The 15-case negative-test matrix in
+    service_test.go is the load-bearing harness; the in-memory
+    stubs of SessionRepo + SigningKeyRepo + AuditRecorder let the
+    state machine be exercised without the postgres testcontainer
+    overhead (which Phase 2's integration tests already cover).
+
+internal/auth/session/domain:
+  floor: 90
+  why: |
+    Bundle 2 Phase 1 — Session + SessionSigningKey domain. Both
+    types ship Validate() with full invariant coverage: ID prefix
+    enforcement (ses-/sk-), expiry-order CHECK (absolute > idle >
+    created), CSRFTokenHash format pin (64 lowercase hex chars),
+    KeyMaterialEncrypted non-empty, retired-before-created
+    rejection, TenantID defaulting. Cookie naming constants are
+    pinned by TestCookieNamingConstants because the GUI's
+    web/src/api/client.ts will read `certctl_csrf` by string.
+    Floor at 90 to catch any future field that ships without a
+    validator.
+
+internal/auth/breakglass:
+  floor: 90
+  why: |
+    Bundle 2 Phase 7.5 — break-glass admin service (Argon2id +
+    lockout state machine + constant-time-via-verifyDummy). Phase
+    13 Pre-merge audit: floor at 90 with no carve-out. Phase 7.5
+    spec ships the package at 91.5%, validated by 8 mandated
+    negatives + ~12 coverage-lift tests. Every fail-closed branch
+    is load-bearing for the security surface (default-OFF posture
+    only matters if every "disabled" path returns ErrDisabled
+    BEFORE any DB lookup; constant-time defense only matters if
+    every path goes through verifyDummy on the no-credential leg).
+    A regression that drops a fail-closed branch's coverage below
+    90 is a real security risk — gate trips, operator audits.
+
+internal/auth/breakglass/domain:
+  floor: 90
+  why: |
+    Bundle 2 Phase 1 — BreakglassCredential domain. Argon2id PHC
+    format pinned ($argon2id$ prefix), MinPasswordLengthBytes (12)
+    + MaxPasswordLengthBytes (256) constants pinned by dedicated
+    test, IsLocked(now) state machine helper. The package ships
+    at 100% coverage; floor at 90 is the standing-room floor for
+    any future field added without a validator.
+
+internal/auth/user/domain:
+  floor: 90
+  why: |
+    Bundle 2 Phase 1 — User domain (federated-human identity).
+    OIDCSubject + OIDCProviderID unique-index per the Phase 2
+    schema, WebAuthnCredentials JSONB reserved for v3, Validate()
+    enforces every on-disk invariant. The package ships at 96.4%
+    coverage. Floor at 90 to catch any future field added without
+    a validator.
+
+    Phase 13 prompt explicitly enumerates internal/auth/user/ at
+    floor 90. The parent (non-domain) directory has no Go source —
+    the user upsert lives in internal/auth/oidc/service.go alongside
+    group resolution + role mapping (cohesive sequence within the
+    OIDC callback). Splitting upsertUser into a separate
+    internal/auth/user/ service package would harm cohesion without
+    adding test value; the domain layer's invariant coverage is
+    where the floor actually applies.

 # Changelog
 
-## v2.0.68 — Image registry path changed ⚠️
+## Unreleased
 
-> **Image registry path changed.** Starting this release, container images publish to `ghcr.io/certctl-io/certctl-server` and `ghcr.io/certctl-io/certctl-agent`. Existing pulls from `ghcr.io/shankar0123/certctl-{server,agent}:<tag>` continue to work for previously-published tags (the registry never deletes images), but the `:latest` tag at the old path stops moving forward at this release. Update your `docker pull` paths, `docker-compose.yml` `image:` keys, or Helm `image.repository` values to receive future updates. Old `git clone` / `git push` / install-script / API URLs continue to redirect forever — only the container-registry path changed.
+### Security
+
+- **Alg-downgrade defense relaxed for Keycloak-shape IdPs (v2.1.0 pre-tag fix).**
+  Pre-fix, the IdP-bind alg-downgrade check at `internal/auth/oidc/service.go`
+  refused to load any OIDC provider whose discovery doc advertised HS256 /
+  HS384 / HS512 / `none` in `id_token_signing_alg_values_supported` —
+  even if RS256 was ALSO advertised. This broke binding against
+  Keycloak 26.x (and a handful of other real IdPs) which list every alg
+  the codebase is capable of in their discovery doc, regardless of which
+  one the realm actually signs with. The v2.1.0 Phase-10 live-IdP smoke
+  surfaced the regression: 6 testcontainers-Keycloak integration tests
+  failed with `oidc: IdP advertises weak signing algorithms (HS*/none); refusing to use as defense against downgrade attacks: HS256`.
+  **Fix:** the check now refuses only when the intersection of advertised
+  vs `DefaultAllowedAlgs` is EMPTY — an IdP advertising HS256 alongside
+  RS256 binds successfully, but an IdP advertising HS-only / none-only
+  still fails closed. The per-token alg pin at sig-verify time
+  (`isDisallowedAlg`, service.go ~L1177) remains the load-bearing defense
+  against the actual algorithm-confusion attack (forged HS256 token
+  signed with the IdP's RS256 pubkey as HMAC secret) — go-oidc/v3's
+  verifier rejects any token whose `alg` header isn't in the configured
+  allow-list, regardless of what the discovery doc claims. Updates:
+  `Service.getOrLoad` alg-check loop rewritten to compute intersection;
+  `ErrIdPDowngradeAdvertised` docstring reflects new semantics;
+  `TestDiscovery` dry-run validator surfaces HS*/none alongside RS* as
+  an informational note (not a hard fail); `docs/operator/auth-threat-model.md`
+  alg-allow-list section updated to call out the load-bearing-defense
+  hierarchy. Tests: `TestService_IdPDowngradeDefense_RS256PlusHS256_BindsSuccessfully`
+  (positive — Keycloak-shape) + `TestService_IdPDowngradeDefense_RejectsHSOnlyAdvertised`
+  (negative — pathological intersection-empty case) +
+  `TestService_RefreshKeys_CatchesPostLoadDowngrade` updated to assert
+  intersection-empty post-rotation; `TestTestDiscovery_AlgDowngrade_HS256AlongsideRS256_BindsWithNote`
+  + `TestTestDiscovery_AlgDowngrade_HSOnly_StillTrips_HardFail` pin the
+  dry-run validator's new behavior.
+
+### Tests
+
+- **Vitest coverage for the 2026-05-10/11 GUI batch (Audit 2026-05-11 Fix 12).**
+  The original GUI-batch commit `661b6db` claimed `npx tsc --noEmit PASS`
+  but shipped no Vitest cases for the new surfaces. The regression-
+  prevention layer was missing — a future refactor of `KeysPage`'s
+  assign modal could silently drop scope_type handling, the LOW-1 demo
+  banner could be hidden by a stray predicate flip, the LOW-11 hide of
+  the delete button on default roles could disappear and let operators
+  click straight into a backend 409, and nothing would surface in CI.
+  This closure adds 35 new test cases across five files:
+  `web/src/pages/auth/UsersPage.test.tsx` (new, 8 cases pinning the
+  active/deactivated/reactivate flow + provider filter + empty state +
+  loading state), `web/src/pages/auth/AuthSettingsPage.test.tsx`
+  (extended +4 cases pinning the MED-12 runtime-config panel —
+  alphabetical sort, `(empty)` placeholder, 403 silent-hide),
+  `web/src/pages/auth/KeysPage.test.tsx` (extended +8 cases pinning
+  the HIGH-10 GUI half — scope_type=global/profile/issuer body shape,
+  expires_at omission vs RFC3339 promotion, whitespace-only scope_id
+  rejection, demo-anon row mutation-button hide),
+  `web/src/pages/auth/RoleDetailPage.test.tsx` (new, 9 cases pinning
+  the MED-8 scope picker + the LOW-11 default-role delete-button hide
+  via the `DEFAULT_ROLE_IDS` set against `r-admin` + `r-auditor`),
+  `web/src/components/AuthProvider.test.tsx` (new, 5 cases pinning the
+  LOW-1 demo-banner visibility predicate — `authType==='none' &&
+  !loading` — across happy/api-key/oidc/loading/rejected branches; the
+  rejected-fetch path keeps the banner visible because the catch
+  treats it as an old-server-fallback to demo-mode, and that behavior
+  is pinned here so a future change surfaces in the diff). 40/40
+  test-file-scoped pass; `tsc --noEmit` clean.
+
+### Security
+
+- **CSRF rotation on logout closes HIGH-2 fourth call site (Audit 2026-05-11 Fix 13).**
+  The HIGH-2 closure (`dev/auth-bundle-2`) documented four
+  `RotateCSRFTokenForActor` call sites: login completion (fresh by
+  construction), Assign/RevokeRole on role-mutation (wired), Logout, and
+  an explicit operator endpoint. The 2026-05-11 review verified only 3
+  of the 4 — Logout did NOT rotate the actor's sibling sessions
+  post-revoke, leaving a window where a token captured pre-logout
+  (browser DevTools, malicious extension, session-storage leak) could
+  be replayed against the user's other-device/other-browser sessions
+  until those sessions hit their own idle/absolute expiry.
+  `SessionMinter` interface extended with `RotateCSRFTokenForActor`;
+  `Logout` invokes it after `Revoke(sess.ID)` succeeds. The
+  `auth.session_revoked` audit row gains a `csrf_rotated` detail key
+  carrying the rotated count so SOC / SIEM can correlate logout events
+  with CSRF churn. The no-cookie + invalid-cookie 204 short-circuit
+  paths skip rotation (no session row to rotate against). 3 regression
+  tests in `internal/api/handler/auth_session_oidc_test.go` pin the
+  happy path + the two short-circuit branches. The explicit operator
+  endpoint (4) remains intentionally unbuilt — the three automatic
+  triggers (login + role-mutation + logout) cover the threat model;
+  operators who want a nuclear option can use the existing
+  `RevokeAllForActor` flow which forces re-login → fresh session →
+  fresh CSRF. **HIGH-2 fully closed across all four documented call
+  sites.**
+
+- **Demo-mode residual-grants detector + cleanup endpoint + CI guard (Audit 2026-05-11 A-8).**
+  HIGH-12 (closure `b81588e`) added a fail-closed bind-address guard
+  that refuses startup when `CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=none` binds non-loopback
+  without `CERTCTL_DEMO_MODE_ACK=true`. The Phase 2 leg of that spec —
+  production-startup banner when `actor-demo-anon` has residual role
+  grants in `actor_roles` plus a CI guard banning new synthetic-admin
+  code paths — was deferred. This closure lands all three deferred
+  legs. (1) `cmd/server/preflight_demo_residual.go` runs after the DB
+  is open + audit service is constructed, before the HTTPS listener
+  starts; under any non-`none` auth type it queries `actor_roles` for
+  `actor-demo-anon` and emits a WARN log + `auth.demo_residual_grants_detected`
+  audit row when the row is present. The migration 000029 baseline
+  unconditionally seeds the `ar-demo-anon-admin` row at install time,
+  so EVERY production deploy will see this WARN on first boot — the
+  intended cutover workflow is documented at `docs/operator/security.md`.
+  (2) `POST /api/v1/auth/demo-residual/cleanup` is an admin-class
+  (`auth.role.assign`) cleanup endpoint that removes every
+  `actor-demo-anon` row from `actor_roles` and returns
+  `{"removed": <int64>}`; idempotent (a second call returns
+  `removed:0`), refuses 503 under `Auth.Type=none` (deleting the row
+  would break the demo path), audit-logs every invocation. (3) New
+  env var `CERTCTL_DEMO_MODE_RESIDUAL_STRICT` (default `false`)
+  pivots the WARN to fail-closed startup refusal for operators who
+  want a paranoid hostile-environment posture. (4) CI guard
+  `scripts/ci-guards/no-new-synthetic-admin.sh` pins the 17-entry
+  allowlist of source files that may reference the `actor-demo-anon`
+  literal; new runtime code paths that resolve to the synthetic actor
+  are rejected at PR time so the credibility gap stays closed. The
+  closure was framed as "credibility gap, not exploitable
+  vulnerability" — the residue requires a regression elsewhere in the
+  middleware chain to be exploitable. After this fix, the canonical
+  acquisition-readiness narrative ("RBAC primitive with no
+  synthetic-admin fallback") is fully true. Operator runbook at
+  `docs/operator/security.md#demo-to-production-cutover-audit-2026-05-11-a-8`.
+
+- **OIDC provider "Test connection" panel (Audit 2026-05-11 Fix 09 — MED-5 GUI half).**
+  MED-5's backend dry-run endpoint (`POST /api/v1/auth/oidc/test`, gated
+  `auth.oidc.create`) shipped on `dev/auth-bundle-2` but had no GUI caller —
+  the `authOIDCTestProvider` function in `web/src/api/client.ts` was dead
+  code. Operators had to complete the create form blind, save, then click
+  "Refresh" to discover whether the issuer URL worked; failures left a
+  broken provider row in the database that had to be deleted before
+  retrying. New shared component
+  `web/src/pages/auth/OIDCTestConnectionPanel.tsx` calls the backend
+  against the live form state and renders a four-row status panel inline:
+  Discovery fetched, JWKS reachable, supported algs (warns when the IdP
+  advertises none), and RFC 9207 iss-parameter advertisement (informational
+  `·` glyph, not ✗, because the spec is SHOULD). Backend per-leg `errors[]`
+  flow into an inline bullet list. The panel is mounted in the
+  OIDCProvidersPage create modal AND the OIDCProviderDetailPage edit form —
+  the edit-form half is load-bearing for verifying IdP rotations (Keycloak
+  realm rename, Okta tenant move) without committing first. Run button is
+  disabled until the issuer URL is non-empty (whitespace-trimmed); the
+  component is read-only — safe to run repeatedly. 8 Vitest tests pin the
+  glyph-vs-glyph contract (✓/✗/⚠/·), the button-disabled-without-issuer
+  shape, and the test-id-suffix collision-prevention when the panel is
+  mounted twice on the same page.
+
+- **OIDC JWKS health panel + Refresh-now button (Audit 2026-05-11 Fix 10 — MED-7 GUI half).**
+  MED-7's backend endpoint `GET /api/v1/auth/oidc/providers/{id}/jwks-status`
+  (commit `d85114f`) shipped the per-provider verifier counters on
+  `dev/auth-bundle-2` but the GUI never called it. The audit doc had
+  prematurely flipped the row to CLOSED; `authOIDCJWKSStatus` in the
+  API client was dead code. Operators investigating "why is login
+  failing for this IdP" couldn't see `last_refresh_at`,
+  `rejected_jws_count`, or `last_error` from the GUI — they had to
+  drop to curl. New shared component
+  `web/src/pages/auth/OIDCJWKSStatusPanel.tsx` queries the endpoint
+  via TanStack Query (30s `staleTime`, `retry: 0` so a 403 hides the
+  panel silently for callers without `auth.oidc.list`) and renders
+  six dt/dd rows: Last refresh (with `(never — cold cache)` sentinel
+  when the timestamp is empty), Refresh count, Rejected JWS count,
+  Last error (red treatment when non-empty, `(none)` sentinel
+  otherwise), RFC 9207 iss param ("supported by IdP" / "not
+  advertised"), and Current KIDs (`(not exposed — query jwks_uri
+  directly)` sentinel when the backend declines to expose the list).
+  A "Refresh now" button invokes the existing
+  `POST .../refresh` (RefreshKeys path) and invalidates the panel's
+  query so the freshly-updated counters render without a page
+  reload. The button is hidden for callers without `auth.oidc.edit`
+  via the panel's optional `canRefresh` prop. Mounted on
+  `OIDCProviderDetailPage.tsx` between the read-only field display
+  and the Actions section. 9 Vitest tests pin: loading state,
+  happy-path-all-six-rows, 403-hides-panel, refresh-invalidates-
+  query, refresh-failure-surfaces-inline-without-hiding-panel,
+  never-refreshed-cold-cache-sentinel, current-kids-empty-not-
+  exposed-sentinel, last-error-red-treatment, and canRefresh=false-
+  hides-the-button.
+
+- **UsersPage sidebar nav entry (Audit 2026-05-11 Fix 11 — MED-11
+  discoverability).** The MED-11 closure shipped `UsersPage.tsx` + wired
+  the `/auth/users` route in `web/src/main.tsx`, but the sidebar
+  navigation never gained a corresponding entry. Operators reached the
+  federated-user-admin surface (used during compliance audits — "show
+  me last login for every IdP-federated user") only by knowing the URL.
+  A page that exists but isn't navigable is a half-finished page. New
+  Users entry under the Auth section in `web/src/components/Layout.tsx`
+  sits between Sessions and Roles (federated-identity grouping). Three
+  Vitest tests in `Layout.test.tsx` pin the link's presence, the
+  `/auth/users` destination, and the DOM ordering relative to Sessions
+  so a future refactor that re-orders or removes the entry surfaces in
+  the diff.
+
+- **Scope-aware actor-role revoke (Audit 2026-05-11 A-4).**
+  HIGH-10 made it possible to grant the same role to the same actor at
+  multiple scopes (e.g. `r-operator` on `profile=p-acme` AND `profile=p-globex`)
+  via the unique constraint extension on `actor_roles`, but
+  `ActorRoleRepository.Revoke` ignored `(scope_type, scope_id)` and
+  unconditionally deleted every variant. Operators who wanted to drop
+  one scoped grant had to nuke them all and re-grant the remainder —
+  a race window where the actor's access was briefly different. The
+  `DELETE /v1/auth/keys/{id}/roles/{role_id}` endpoint now accepts
+  optional `?scope_type=` / `?scope_id=` query params that narrow the
+  revoke to a single variant; no-match returns 404. The legacy "revoke
+  every variant" semantic is preserved when the query params are
+  absent, so existing CLI / GUI buttons keep working unchanged. The
+  audit row's `details` payload records which mode fired so SOC / SIEM
+  can distinguish wide cleanups from targeted demotions. MCP tool
+  `certctl_auth_revoke_role_from_key` gains optional `scope_type` +
+  `scope_id` input fields with matching semantics. Documented in
+  `docs/operator/rbac.md` under "Revoke: legacy 'all variants' vs
+  scope-selective."
+
+### Security (BREAKING — silent-elevation closure)
+
+- **HIGH-10 actor-role scope is now enforced (Audit 2026-05-11 A-1).**
+  Pre-fix, `actor_roles.scope_type` / `scope_id` (added in migration 000043
+  by the HIGH-10 closure) were persisted by Grant + accepted on the handler
+  body + surfaced through the GUI/MCP — but the load-bearing
+  `EffectivePermissions` SQL never read them. A profile-scoped grant
+  silently elevated to global at authorization time. Canonical CRIT-5
+  lying-field shape, replicated. **The post-fix authorization narrows
+  correctly**: every existing `actor_roles` row with `scope_type != 'global'`
+  now takes effect.
+
+  > **Operator advisory:** if you used the HIGH-10 scope-bound role-grant
+  > API between commit `551812b` and the v2.1.0 tag (the column was
+  > populated but ignored), the grants were silently global. After
+  > upgrading, audit `SELECT actor_id, role_id, scope_type, scope_id FROM
+  > actor_roles WHERE scope_type != 'global'` and confirm the narrowing
+  > reflects intent. If an actor was granted a scoped role but expected

+
+### Security (BREAKING)
+
+- **Federated-user deactivation now actually blocks login (Audit 2026-05-11 A-2).**
+  The MED-11 closure shipped `users.deactivated_at` + `DELETE /api/v1/auth/users/{id}`
+  + cascade-session-revoke, but the column was a "lying field" three legs over: the
+  postgres user repository never SELECTed it (so `User.DeactivatedAt` always read
+  nil), the `Update` SQL never wrote it (so the handler's mutation was a no-op),
+  and the OIDC `upsertUser` path never checked it (so the next login under the
+  same `(provider, subject)` tuple re-minted a session and re-elevated the user).
+  The cascade-revoke remained correct for the current cookie only. **Operator
+  advisory: if you deactivated a federated user between the MED-11 closure
+  (Bundle 2 merge `dea5053`) and the v2.1.0 release tag, verify the user cannot
+  OIDC-log-in after upgrading — the column took no effect at login time before
+  this fix. If needed, re-run the deactivation against the upgraded server.**
+  Closure: `userColumns` + `scanUser` now read `deactivated_at` via `sql.NullTime`;
+  `Create` + `Update` write it explicitly; `upsertUser` returns the new
+  `ErrUserDeactivated` sentinel before mutating fields (preserves `last_login_at`
+  forensics on rejected logins); `classifyOIDCFailure` surfaces the rejection
+  as audit category `user_deactivated`. Self-deactivate guard on
+  `DELETE /api/v1/auth/users/{id}` returns HTTP 409 + audit row
+  `auth.user_deactivate_self_rejected` (prevents an admin from one-way-door
+  locking themselves out via the standard handler — break-glass remains the
+  recovery path). New inverse endpoint `POST /api/v1/auth/users/{id}/reactivate`
+  (gated `auth.user.deactivate` — reactivation is the inverse op, not a separate
+  privilege) clears `deactivated_at`; emits audit row `auth.user_reactivated`.
+  Sessions revoked at deactivation stay revoked across reactivation — the user
+  must complete a fresh OIDC login. GUI: `UsersPage.tsx` now renders a Reactivate
+  button on deactivated rows. CWE-862 (missing authorization at the user-state
+  boundary). SOC 2 CC6.3 + ISO 27001 A.9.2.6 compliance-table-flipping fix.
+- **`__Host-` cookie prefix on all three auth cookies (Audit 2026-05-10 MED-14).**
+  The session cookie, CSRF cookie, and OIDC pre-login cookie are renamed from
+  `certctl_session` / `certctl_csrf` / `certctl_oidc_pending` to
+  `__Host-certctl_session` / `__Host-certctl_csrf` / `__Host-certctl_oidc_pending`
+  to gain browser-enforced subdomain-takeover protection (a `__Host-*` cookie can
+  only be set with `Path=/` + `Secure` + no `Domain` attribute, and the browser
+  rejects subdomain attempts to overwrite it). **Active sessions invalidate on
+  the rolling deploy that lands this change** — operators must re-authenticate
+  once after upgrading. The GUI's CSRF cookie reader was updated in lockstep.
+  See `docs/migration/oidc-enable.md` for operator-facing detail.
+
+### Security
+
+- **OIDC `allowed_email_domains` now editable in the GUI (Audit 2026-05-11 A-3).**
+  The backend gate that rejects logins whose email domain is outside the
+  configured allowlist landed in v2.1.0 (CRIT-5 closure, 2026-05-10), but the
+  GUI never exposed the field — GUI-driven operators had to use the API
+  directly to configure tenant isolation against multi-tenant IdPs (Auth0,
+  Azure AD common endpoint, Google Workspace). The OIDCProvidersPage create
+  modal and OIDCProviderDetailPage detail view now render a chip-style
+  multi-input with client-side validation that mirrors the backend rules
+  (no `@`, no whitespace, no wildcards, lowercase-only FQDNs). The read-only
+  view renders an explicit "any (no gate configured)" sentinel when the list
+  is empty so operators can tell "not configured" apart from "field is
+  invisible." A "Clear all" button on the edit form is gated by a confirm
+  dialog that warns about removing the tenant gate. **Operator advisory: if
+  you provisioned OIDC providers via the GUI between v2.1.0 and this fix,
+  verify `allowed_email_domains` matches your tenant policy — the field was
+  configurable only via API / MCP / direct SQL during that window.** Per-IdP
+  runbooks for multi-tenant IdPs in `docs/operator/oidc-runbooks/` already
+  documented the field; the GUI now matches.
+
+- **Approval payload preview (Audit 2026-05-11 A-5).**
+  The MED-10 closure claim ("PARTIAL: raw JSON preview; diff library
+  deferred") was inaccurate — `ApprovalsPage.tsx` rendered no payload
+  at all, so approvers were clicking Approve / Reject without seeing
+  the change they were authorizing. That defeats the entire four-eyes
+  primitive: an approver who can't see what they're approving is
+  rubber-stamping. Each row now carries a Preview toggle that expands
+  an inline panel dispatching by kind: `profile_edit` shows a
+  field-level before/after diff (changed-only rows, red/green cells,
+  `(unset)` sentinel for added/removed fields); `cert_issuance` shows
+  a definition list of CN / SANs / profile / key algo / must-staple /
+  validity (catches the wildcard-against-corp-internal-profile attack
+  at review time); unknown kinds render a generic JSON preview for
+  forward-compat with future approval kinds. The base64-encoded JSON
+  payload is decoded via the new `decodePayload` helper; malformed
+  inputs render an explicit decode-error fallback — silent failure on
+  the payload preview is what produced this bug in the first place.
+
+- **Strict pre-login UA/IP binding (Audit 2026-05-11 A-6).**
+  The MED-16 closure left a request-side empty-header bypass: when the
+  pre-login row carried a User-Agent or client-IP binding but the
+  `/auth/oidc/callback` request omitted the corresponding value, the
+  binding check was silently skipped. `curl` doesn't send User-Agent
+  by default; many programmatic clients omit it. An attacker who
+  acquired a pre-login cookie could replay it without the bound
+  header and bypass the RFC 9700 §4.7.1 defense. The check is now
+  strict-when-stored — an empty request-side value with a non-empty
+  stored binding rejects with HTTP 400 and the new audit failure
+  categories `prelogin_ua_missing` / `prelogin_ip_missing` (distinct
+  from the existing `*_mismatch` categories so SIEM rules can alert
+  specifically on bypass attempts). **Operator advisory:** environments
+  where the User-Agent is stripped in transit (some debug proxies, a
+  handful of CDN configurations) must set
+  `CERTCTL_OIDC_PRELOGIN_REQUIRE_UA=false` to keep logins working;
+  symmetric `CERTCTL_OIDC_PRELOGIN_REQUIRE_IP=false` exists for the
+  IP-side. The legacy-row compat window — pre-migration rows with no
+  stored binding — still passes through unchecked, but that window is
+  bounded by the 10-minute pre-login TTL.
+
+- **OIDC provider Advanced fields are now editable in the GUI (Audit 2026-05-11 A-7).**
+  The MED-4 row had been DEFERRED to v3 with the rationale "backend
+  already accepts these fields." The verifier hit the GUI and found
+  that the read-only display claimed the values were editable, but the
+  edit form had no inputs — the save handler passed `provider.scopes`
+  / `provider.groups_claim_path` / `provider.groups_claim_format` /
+  `provider.iat_window_seconds` / `provider.jwks_cache_ttl_seconds`
+  unchanged from the loaded object. Operators who wanted to bump the
+  IAT window or change the groups-claim path had to drop to curl /
+  MCP and trust the GUI's display matched what they'd set elsewhere.
+  Lying UX. The OIDCProviderDetailPage edit form now has a collapsible
+  Advanced section with five inputs (scopes as a space-separated text
+  field; groups-claim path; groups-claim format select with the
+  backend's `string-array` / `json-path` enum; IAT window number input
+  bounded 1–600; JWKS cache TTL number input with floor 60). Client-side
+  validation mirrors the backend `Validate` rules so common operator
+  mistakes (IAT > 600, JWKS TTL < 60, empty scopes, empty groups-claim-path)
+  reject inline instead of round-tripping a 400. The read-only `<dl>`
+  also gained the previously-invisible `jwks_cache_ttl_seconds` row.
+
+- **Pre-login cookie Path widened from `/auth/oidc/` to `/` (Audit MED-14
+  follow-on).** Required to satisfy the `__Host-` prefix's `Path=/` rule. The
+  cookie lifetime is unchanged (10 minutes) and only the callback handler
+  consumes it; the wider path scope is harmless.
+
+- **RFC 9207 `iss` URL parameter check on OIDC callback (Audit 2026-05-10
+  MED-17).** When the matched IdP's discovery doc advertises
+  `authorization_response_iss_parameter_supported: true`, certctl now requires
+  the `iss` query parameter on `/auth/oidc/callback` and enforces a
+  constant-time compare against the configured provider's `IssuerURL`. Mismatch
+  rejects with HTTP 400; the audit row's `failure_category` distinguishes
+  `iss_param_missing` / `iss_param_mismatch` (RFC 9207 leg) from the existing
+  `id_token_iss_mismatch` (in-token iss claim leg). Closes the mix-up-attack
+  defense for modern Keycloak, Authentik, and public-trust CAs that ship
+  RFC-9207 discovery. Providers that don't advertise support (the majority
+  today) keep pre-fix behavior — back-compat is preserved.
+
+- **Auth GUI batch (Audit 2026-05-10 MED-4/7/8/10/11/12 + LOW-1/11/12 +
+  HIGH-10 GUI).** New backend endpoints land alongside their GUI
+  consumers: `GET /api/v1/auth/users` + `DELETE /api/v1/auth/users/{id}`
+  (auth.user.read / auth.user.deactivate; migration 000045 adds
+  `users.deactivated_at` plus the two new permissions); `GET
+  /api/v1/auth/runtime-config` (auth.role.assign) returning a sanitized
+  flat-map of deployed CERTCTL_* values (no secrets leaked — only
+  set/unset booleans and counts); `GET
+  /api/v1/auth/oidc/providers/{id}/jwks-status` (auth.oidc.list)
+  returning the per-provider verifier counters (refresh count, last
+  refresh / error timestamps, rejected JWS count, RFC 9207 iss-param
+  flag). New `UsersPage` lists federated identities + soft-deactivates.
+  `AuthSettingsPage` gains the runtime-config panel. `KeysPage`'s
+  assign-role modal now collects `scope_type` / `scope_id` /
+  `expires_at`. `RoleDetailPage`'s add-permission form gains the same
+  scope picker, and the Delete button is hidden on the 7 default
+  system roles (server already rejected, this is pure UX).
+  `AuthProvider` renders a sticky red demo-mode banner when
+  `auth_type=none`. `actor-demo-anon` rows on `KeysPage` already had
+  buttons disabled.
+
+- **11 new MCP tools (Audit 2026-05-10 MED-13).** Approval workflow
+  (`certctl_approval_list` / `_get` / `_approve` / `_reject`), break-glass
+  credential admin (`certctl_breakglass_list` / `_set_password` /
+  `_unlock` / `_remove`), bootstrap status + consume
+  (`certctl_bootstrap_status` / `_consume`), and audit category filter
+  (`certctl_audit_list_with_category`). All route through the existing
+  HTTP client so server-side permission gates fire unchanged.
+  `certctl_bootstrap_consume`'s tool description carries an explicit
+  "NEVER WIRE THIS TO AUTONOMOUS OPERATION" warning — a leaked
+  bootstrap token mints a fresh admin API key bypassing every other
+  access-control gate, so the tool is for one-shot manual operator
+  invocation only.
+
+- **JWKS auto-refresh on cache-miss (Audit 2026-05-10 MED-6).** When
+  the IdP rotates its signing key between pre-login + callback, the
+  cached JWKS no longer contains the kid referenced by the inbound ID
+  token's JWS header. Pre-fix, the verify failed with a generic error
+  and the operator had to manually call `POST
+  /api/v1/auth/oidc/providers/{id}/refresh`. The service now detects
+  the kid-not-in-cache shape (`isKidMismatchError`) and runs a
+  one-shot `RefreshKeys` (evict cache → re-fetch discovery + JWKS →
+  re-run alg-downgrade defense) before retrying the verify exactly
+  once. Bounded recovery: a second failure surfaces as
+  `ErrJWKSUnreachable` per the original branches; no retry loop. A
+  separate matcher (`isKidMismatchError`) is intentionally narrow
+  so generic signature failures don't trigger refresh.
+
+- **OIDC provider test endpoint (Audit 2026-05-10 MED-5).** New
+  `POST /api/v1/auth/oidc/test` dry-runs an OIDC provider configuration
+  without persisting: fetches the discovery doc, runs the alg-downgrade
+  defense, detects RFC 9207 iss-parameter advertisement, and confirms
+  JWKS reachability. Returns `TestDiscoveryResult{discovery_succeeded,
+  jwks_reachable, supported_alg_values, iss_param_supported, errors[]}`
+  so the GUI (forthcoming) can render per-check status rows. Per-leg
+  failures ride in the response body's `errors` array; only a malformed
+  request body trips 400. Gate: `auth.oidc.create`. Audit row
+  `auth.oidc_provider_tested` carries the success/failure summary.
+
+- **Pre-login UA / source-IP binding on OIDC callback (Audit 2026-05-10
+  MED-16).** RFC 9700 §4.7.1 defense against stolen-pre-login-cookie replay
+  by a different browser / source. Migration `000044_prelogin_uaip` adds
+  `client_ip` + `user_agent` to `oidc_pre_login_sessions`; values captured at
+  `/auth/oidc/login` are constant-time compared at `/auth/oidc/callback`.
+  Mismatches return HTTP 400 with audit `failure_category` =
+  `prelogin_ua_mismatch` or `prelogin_ip_mismatch`. Two operator escape
+  hatches: `CERTCTL_OIDC_PRELOGIN_REQUIRE_UA` and
+  `CERTCTL_OIDC_PRELOGIN_REQUIRE_IP` (both default `true`) — operators on
+  enterprise proxies that rewrite UA, or dual-stack v4/v6 environments where
+  source IP routinely flips, can disable the affected leg. The binding column
+  is persisted even when enforcement is off, so retroactive forensics remain
+  possible. Empty values on either side pass through (rolling-deploy +
+  headless-proxy compat).
+
+## v2.1.0 - Auth Bundles 1 + 2: RBAC primitive + OIDC SSO + sessions ⚠️
+
+> **SECURITY: AUDIT YOUR API KEYS.**
+>
+> Bundle 1 ships role-based authorization. Every existing API key
+> configured via `CERTCTL_API_KEYS_NAMED` (or the legacy
+> `CERTCTL_AUTH_SECRET`) is mapped to the **r-admin role on the first
+> upgrade boot** so existing automation keeps working unchanged. Most
+> keys do NOT need full admin power; downgrade them before tagging
+> the next release.
+>
+> Recommended post-upgrade flow:
+>
+> ```bash
+> # 1. List every key with its current role:
+> certctl-cli auth keys list
+>
+> # 2. Walk an interactive prompt that downgrades each key:
+> certctl-cli auth keys scope-down
+>
+> # 3. Or get a heuristic suggestion based on 30 days of audit history:
+> certctl-cli auth keys scope-down --suggest
+> certctl-cli auth keys scope-down --suggest --apply   # applies the suggestion
+>
+> # 4. Or drive scope-down from a JSON config (Helm post-upgrade hook):
+> certctl-cli auth keys scope-down --non-interactive ./scope-down.json
+> ```
+>
+> The synthetic `actor-demo-anon` actor (used when
+> `CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=none` is configured) is system-managed and
+> excluded from the prompt loop.
+
+What else changed in v2.1.0:
+
+- **Audit 2026-05-10 CRIT-1 closure — wire-layer RBAC enforcement.**
+  The Bundle 1 + Bundle 2 audit surfaced that the permission catalogue
+  was enforced on ~24 admin-only routes only; the bulk of state-changing
+  routes (`POST /api/v1/certificates`, `PUT /api/v1/profiles/{id}`,
+  `DELETE /api/v1/issuers/{id}`, `POST /api/v1/agents/{id}/csr`, even
+  `POST /api/v1/auth/roles` + `POST /api/v1/auth/keys/{id}/roles`) had
+  no `rbacGate` wrap. A `r-viewer` Bearer was essentially `r-admin`
+  minus five fine-grained verbs at the wire layer (CWE-862). This
+  release wraps every state-changing + read endpoint with
+  `rbacGate` (global scope) or `rbacGateScoped` (per-profile / per-
+  issuer scope-bound grants), and adds an AST-level CI guard
+  (`TestRouterRBACGateCoverage`) that fails when a new route is
+  registered without enforcement. Catalogue extended via migration
+  000039 with 30 permissions covering `cert.edit`, `job.*`,
+  `approval.*`, `policy.*`, `team.*`, `owner.*`, `notification.*`,
+  `discovery.*`, `network_scan.*`, `healthcheck.*`, `digest.*`,
+  `verification.*`, `stats.read`, `metrics.read`. **AUDIT YOUR
+  KEYS** (the scope-down call-out above) now translates to real
+  reduction in blast radius. Auditor pin preserved at exactly
+  `{audit.read, audit.export}`.
+
+- **RBAC primitive shipped.** `tenants`, `roles`, `permissions`,
+  `role_permissions`, `actor_roles` tables (migration 000029); 33-permission
+  canonical catalogue; 7 default roles (`admin`, `operator`, `viewer`,
+  `agent`, `mcp`, `cli`, `auditor`); per-handler permission gates via
+  `auth.RequirePermission` middleware (replaces the legacy
+  `IsAdmin` boolean check on the 5 admin-only handlers).
+- **Day-0 admin bootstrap.** Set `CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN` on a fresh
+  deploy and POST a single curl call against `/api/v1/auth/bootstrap` to
+  mint the first admin API key; one-shot, never logged, and locks
+  closed once any admin actor exists. Migration 000031 ships the
+  `api_keys` table that stores the SHA-256 hash; the plaintext is
+  shown in the response body once and never persisted.
+- **Auditor role split.** New `auditor` role holds only `audit.read`
+  + `audit.export`. Compliance reviewers can read the audit trail
+  without holding mutation power. Migration 000032 adds
+  `audit_events.event_category` so auditors can filter to
+  authentication-related events specifically.
+- **`/v1/auth/check` enrichment.** Response now includes the actor's
+  standing roles and effective permissions, so the GUI gates
+  affordances from a single fetch on app boot.
+- **Approval-bypass closure.** Edits to a profile that has (or
+  would have) `RequiresApproval=true` now route through the
+  `ApprovalService` two-person integrity gate (Phase 9). Migration
+  000033 adds `approval_kind` + `payload` to
+  `issuance_approval_requests` so cert-issuance and profile-edit
+  approvals share the same workflow. Same-actor self-approve is
+  rejected with `ErrApproveBySameActor` for both kinds. Closes the
+  flip-flop loophole where an admin could disable approval, mutate,
+  re-enable. Documented at
+  [`docs/reference/profiles.md`](docs/reference/profiles.md).
+- **GUI: Roles / API Keys / Auth Settings / Approvals queue.**
+  Four new pages under `/auth/*` consume `/v1/auth/me` for
+  permission-aware rendering. The Approvals queue blocks
+  self-approve at the client layer (Approve/Reject buttons hidden
+  when requested_by == current actor_id) on top of the server-side
+  enforcement. AuditPage gains a category filter (cert_lifecycle /
+  auth / config) for the auditor view.
+- **MCP server gains 12 RBAC tools.** Operators driving certctl
+  from Claude / VS Code / any MCP client get parity with the GUI
+  + CLI. Each tool routes through the same HTTP handler; permission
+  gates fire server-side.
+- **OpenAPI catalogues every new route.** Every Bundle 1 endpoint
+  ships with an `operationId`; the parity test guards against drift.
+- **Coverage gates.** `internal/auth/` and `internal/service/auth/`
+  now have ≥85% coverage floors in `.github/coverage-thresholds.yml`.
+  The 12-path negative-test list from the Bundle 1 prompt is
+  fully covered (path #12 deferred with in-tree TODO).
+- **Protocol-endpoint allowlist pinned at three layers.** The
+  middleware bypass (`auth.IsProtocolEndpoint`), the router-level
+  `AuthExemptRouterRoutes` constant, and a new
+  `phase12_protocol_allowlist_test.go` AST scan all guard against
+  accidentally wrapping ACME / SCEP / EST / OCSP / CRL routes in
+  `rbacGate`.
+- **Bundle 2: OIDC + sessions + back-channel logout + break-glass.**
+  Auth Bundle 2 ships in the same v2.1.0 release. Operators get OIDC
+  SSO support for Keycloak / Authentik / Okta / Auth0 / Microsoft
+  Entra ID / Google Workspace (via Keycloak broker), HMAC-signed
+  session cookies with idle/absolute timeouts + CSRF defense,
+  back-channel logout per OpenID Connect Back-Channel Logout 1.0,
+  and a default-OFF break-glass admin path with Argon2id passwords
+  for SSO-broken incidents. API-key auth keeps working unchanged
+  alongside; existing automation needs no changes. Migration walkthrough
+  at [`docs/migration/oidc-enable.md`](docs/migration/oidc-enable.md);
+  per-IdP setup guides at
+  [`docs/operator/oidc-runbooks/index.md`](docs/operator/oidc-runbooks/index.md).
+- **OIDC token validation pinned at three layers.** Algorithm
+  allow-list (RS256/RS512/ES256/ES384/EdDSA only) with HS-family + `none`
+  rejected at the service-layer sentinel; IdP-downgrade-attack defense
+  at provider creation AND every JWKS RefreshKeys (intersects the IdP's
+  advertised `id_token_signing_alg_values_supported` against the allow-
+  list, rejects providers that advertise weak algs even before any
+  token is signed); OIDC Core §3.1.3.7 re-verification of `iss` /
+  `aud` / `azp` / `at_hash` (REQUIRED-when-access_token-present per
+  Phase 3 tightening of the spec MAY → MUST) / `exp` / `iat` window
+  / `nonce` constant-time-compare. PKCE-S256 mandatory; `plain`
+  rejected. Single-use state + nonce via atomic `DELETE...RETURNING`
+  on consume.
+- **Session cookies use length-prefixed HMAC.** The cookie wire format
+  is `v1.<session_id>.<signing_key_id>.<base64url-no-pad(HMAC-SHA256)>`
+  with HMAC input `len:sid:len:kid` (NOT bare-concat) to defeat
+  concatenation collisions. `HttpOnly` + `Secure` + `SameSite=Lax`
+  default; `SameSite=Strict` configurable via `CERTCTL_SESSION_SAMESITE`.
+  Idle timeout 1h / absolute 8h defaults; scheduler GC sweeps expired
+  rows hourly. Signing keys rotate via the new `RotateSigningKey`
+  primitive; the old key stays valid for `CERTCTL_SESSION_SIGNING_KEY_RETENTION`
+  (default 24h) so existing cookies validate during rollover.
+- **CSRF defense via double-submit-cookie + hashed-token-on-row.**
+  Plaintext CSRF token in the JS-readable `certctl_csrf` cookie
+  (intentionally `HttpOnly=false` for the GUI to echo into the
+  `X-CSRF-Token` header); SHA-256 hash on the session row;
+  `subtle.ConstantTimeCompare` in the new `CSRFMiddleware`. API-key
+  actors are CSRF-exempt (no session row in context).
+- **OIDC `client_secret` encrypted at rest.** AES-256-GCM v3 blob
+  format (magic 0x03 + salt(16) + nonce(12) + ciphertext+tag) using
+  the existing `CERTCTL_CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY`. Encryption invariant
+  pinned by an integration test asserting ciphertext != plaintext +
+  v3 blob shape + round-trip recovery + wrong-passphrase fails.
+- **OIDC first-admin bootstrap.** New `CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_GROUPS`
+  + `CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_OIDC_PROVIDER_ID` env vars: the first
+  OIDC-authenticated user with a matching group claim becomes admin
+  per tenant. Coexists with the Bundle 1 env-var-token bootstrap;
+  the admin-existence probe ensures only one wins. Audit row
+  (`bootstrap.oidc_first_admin`) on every grant.
+- **Break-glass admin (default-OFF).** New `CERTCTL_BREAKGLASS_ENABLED`
+  env var (default `false`). When enabled, the local Argon2id-password
+  admin path bypasses OIDC + group-claim layers — intended ONLY for
+  SSO-broken incidents. Argon2id with OWASP 2024 params (m=64 MiB,
+  t=3, p=4); lockout after 5 failures (configurable); constant-time
+  across all failure paths via `verifyDummy`; surface invisibility
+  (HTTP 404 on every endpoint when disabled, NOT 403). WARN log at
+  server boot when enabled. WebAuthn/FIDO2 second factor pairing on
+  the v3 roadmap (Decision 12).
+- **GUI: OIDC Providers + Group → Role Mappings + Sessions + login
+  buttons.** Four new pages under `/auth/*` consume the Bundle 2 API
+  surface. Login page renders one "Sign in with X" button per
+  configured OIDC provider (in addition to the API-key form, which
+  remains as a fallback for Bearer-mode + break-glass paths). Sessions
+  page exposes own-sessions + admin all-actors view. Every actionable
+  element is permission-gated server-side via `auth.oidc.*` and
+  `auth.session.*` perms; client-side hide is UX layer. Logout button
+  in the sidebar fires `POST /auth/logout` to clear the session
+  server-side before redirecting to login.
+- **MCP server gains 11 OIDC + session tools.** `certctl_auth_list_oidc_providers`,
+  `_get_oidc_provider`, `_create_oidc_provider`, `_update_oidc_provider`,
+  `_delete_oidc_provider`, `_refresh_oidc_provider`,
+  `_list_group_mappings`, `_add_group_mapping`, `_remove_group_mapping`,
+  `_list_sessions`, `_revoke_session`. Operator-facing MCP tool count
+  goes 12 (Bundle 1 RBAC) → 23 across the auth surface. Total MCP
+  tool count: `grep -cE 'mcp\.AddTool\(' internal/mcp/tools*.go` ≈ 150.
+- **Per-IdP runbooks: 6 production-tier setup guides** at
+  `docs/operator/oidc-runbooks/`. Each runbook follows a consistent
+  five-section layout (Prerequisites / IdP-side config / certctl-side
+  config / Verification / Troubleshooting + Validation checklist with
+  operator sign-off line). Keycloak is the canonical reference;
+  Authentik / Okta / Auth0 / Entra ID / Google Workspace document the
+  IdP-specific deltas (Auth0's namespaced custom claims; Entra ID's
+  group OBJECT IDs; Google Workspace's missing-groups-claim limitation
+  + the recommended Keycloak broker pattern).
+- **Threat model extended.** [`docs/operator/auth-threat-model.md`](docs/operator/auth-threat-model.md)
+  ships 5 new "Defenses Bundle 2 ships" subsections + 8 new threat-
+  catalogue subsections (OIDC token forgery / session hijacking / IdP
+  compromise / back-channel logout failure modes / group-claim
+  manipulation / bootstrap risks / break-glass risks / token-leak
+  hygiene). 6 new SQL-shaped operator-facing checks. New "Threats
+  Bundle 2 does NOT close" section enumerating the 8 v3-backlog items
+  (WebAuthn / JIT elevation / SAML / multi-tenant activation /
+  HSM-FIPS / OIDC RP-initiated logout / Playwright / per-IdP
+  external-tester sign-off).
+- **Performance baselines documented.** [`docs/operator/auth-benchmarks.md`](docs/operator/auth-benchmarks.md)
+  ships four benchmarks with measured baselines on a 4 vCPU /
+  8 GiB / Postgres 16 / Go 1.25 floor: `BenchmarkSession_SteadyState`
+  p99 5 µs (target < 1 ms; 200× under), `BenchmarkSession_ColdProcess`
+  p99 7.1 ms (target < 10 ms), `BenchmarkOIDC_SteadyState` p99 1.5 ms
+  (target < 5 ms), `BenchmarkOIDC_ColdCache` operator-runs against
+  live Keycloak via `make benchmark-auth-coldcache`.
+- **Standards + RFC implementation table.** [`docs/reference/auth-standards-implemented.md`](docs/reference/auth-standards-implemented.md)
+  ships 13 RFC / standard rows + 14 CWE rows with concrete file paths
+  + negative-test anchors per row. NOT a compliance-mapping doc per
+  the operator's 2026-05-05 retired-compliance-docs decision; the
+  doc explicitly says "build the framework mapping yourself against
+  the rows here using the framework-mapping methodology your audit
+  firm prescribes; this project does not own that mapping."
+- **Coverage gates held at floor 90 across all four Bundle 2
+  packages.** `internal/auth/oidc/` 93.7%, `internal/auth/session/`
+  94.9%, `internal/auth/breakglass/` 91.5%, `internal/auth/user/domain/`
+  96.4%. NO held-low-with-rationale entry — the Phase 13 prompt's
+  anti-Bundle-1-mistake rule held. Bundle 1's existing 85% floors
+  for `internal/auth/` + `internal/service/auth/` stay 85
+  (already-shipped-and-accepted) per the prompt's explicit
+  inheritance rule.
+- **Multi-tenant query CI guard.** New `scripts/ci-guards/multi-tenant-query-coverage.sh`
+  (ratchet-style, baseline 32 at v2.1.0 close): greps every
+  SELECT/UPDATE/DELETE in `internal/repository/postgres/` against
+  10 tenant-aware tables, fails on regression OR improvement (forces
+  the operator to lift / lower the baseline visibly). Forward-compat
+  protection so a future Bundle 3 / managed-service multi-tenant
+  activation can flip the switch without finding silent
+  tenant-data-leak bugs in shipped queries.
+- **Phase 10 Keycloak testcontainers integration test.** New build-tag-
+  gated suite at `internal/auth/oidc/testfixtures/` + `integration_keycloak_test.go`
+  drives the full OIDC flow against a live Keycloak container booted
+  by testcontainers-go. 5-test matrix: discovery + JWKS load, full
+  PKCE auth-code happy path with HTTP form scraping, logout-revokes-
+  session, JWKS rotation, unmapped-groups-fails-closed. Reuses one
+  container across the matrix to amortize the 60-90s boot. Optional
+  Okta smoke test (build-tagged `integration && okta_smoke`) for live
+  tenant validation. New Makefile targets: `make keycloak-integration-test`
+  + `make okta-smoke-test` + `make benchmark-auth-coldcache`.
+- **OpenAPI surface extended.** New `cookieAuth` security scheme
+  (apiKey/cookie/`certctl_session`) alongside the existing
+  `bearerAuth`. 13 new Bundle 2 endpoints across the OIDC + session
+  + group-mapping CRUD surface; 4 break-glass endpoints with
+  surface-invisibility framing. The N-bundle-2-security-empty-preserved
+  CI guard locks the `security: []` opt-out count at ≥ 14 so existing
+  public endpoints stay public.
+- **Bundle-1-only compat regression CI guard.** New
+  `scripts/ci-guards/bundle-1-compat-regression.sh` asserts the
+  load-bearing invariants that protect the Bundle-1-only-deploy
+  case (session middleware defers-to-next, CSRF passthrough on
+  missing session row, ChainAuthSessionThenBearer wired, public
+  OIDC routes in AuthExempt allowlist, AuthInfo guards on
+  OIDCProvidersResolver != nil). Sibling
+  `bundle-1-to-2-upgrade-regression.sh` asserts the upgrade-path
+  invariants (migrations 000034..000038 are CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
+  + BEGIN/COMMIT-wrapped + no DROP TABLE / ALTER...DROP COLUMN
+  against 19 protected Bundle-1 tables + ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING on
+  permission seed).
+
+Migration ordering, idempotency, and downgrade are documented in
+[`docs/migration/api-keys-to-rbac.md`](docs/migration/api-keys-to-rbac.md)

+## v2.0.68 - Image registry path changed ⚠️
+
+> **Image registry path changed.** Starting this release, container images publish to `ghcr.io/certctl-io/certctl-server` and `ghcr.io/certctl-io/certctl-agent`. Existing pulls from `ghcr.io/shankar0123/certctl-{server,agent}:<tag>` continue to work for previously-published tags (the registry never deletes images), but the `:latest` tag at the old path stops moving forward at this release. Update your `docker pull` paths, `docker-compose.yml` `image:` keys, or Helm `image.repository` values to receive future updates. Old `git clone` / `git push` / install-script / API URLs continue to redirect forever - only the container-registry path changed.
 
 This is the only operator-action-required change in v2.0.68. Other changes in this release are cosmetic URL refreshes after the GitHub-org transfer from `shankar0123/certctl` to `certctl-io/certctl` (HTTP redirects mean no other operator action is required) plus an internal contextcheck lint fix in the agent.

-Go 1.25 control plane with handler → service → repository layering. PostgreSQL 16 backend (35+ tables, idempotent migrations). Pull-only deployment model — the server never initiates outbound connections. Agents poll for work and generate ECDSA P-256 keys locally so private keys never touch the control plane. For network appliances and agentless servers, a proxy agent in the same network zone handles deployment via the target's API (WinRM, iControl REST, SSH/SFTP).

+Security: three authentication paths — API keys (SHA-256 hashed + constant-time compared), [OIDC SSO](docs/operator/oidc-runbooks/index.md) (Keycloak / Authentik / Okta / Auth0 / Entra ID / Google Workspace), and Argon2id [break-glass admin](docs/operator/security.md) for SSO-outage recovery. Successful OIDC login mints an HMAC-signed server-side session with `__Host-` cookies, CSRF rotation on every privileged write, and [RFC OIDC Back-Channel Logout](docs/reference/auth-standards-implemented.md) for IdP-driven session revoke. Role-based authorization on every gated handler with global / per-profile / per-issuer scope. Auditor split keeps regulator-class actors strictly read-only on the audit trail. Day-0 admin via a one-shot bootstrap token; granting or revoking roles requires the dedicated `auth.role.assign` permission. CORS deny-by-default. Shell injection prevention on all connector scripts.

+# Migrating API keys to RBAC (v2.0.x → v2.1.0)
+
+> Last reviewed: 2026-05-09
+
+This is the upgrade guide for an existing certctl deployment moving
+from v2.0.x's "every API key is admin or not" model to v2.1.0's
+RBAC primitive. Everything keeps working through the upgrade - the
+migration backfills every existing API key to the
+`r-admin` role on first boot, so the pre-existing automation that
+was using those keys does not change behavior. **However**, most
+keys do not need full admin power; this guide walks the operator
+through the post-upgrade scope-down flow.
+
+## ⚠️ SECURITY: AUDIT YOUR API KEYS
+
+v2.1.0 maps **every** existing `CERTCTL_API_KEYS_NAMED` entry
+(and every legacy `CERTCTL_AUTH_SECRET`-synthesized key) to the
+`r-admin` role on the first boot after migration 000029 applies.
+This is the safe-for-back-compat default - your CI / agents / scripts
+keep working without changes - but if you don't downgrade keys, every
+key in your fleet has full admin permissions including bulk-revoke,
+CRL admin, and CA hierarchy management.
+
+**Run the scope-down flow before tagging the next release.** The
+release notes for v2.1.0 lead with this callout for a reason.
+
+## Upgrade flow
+
+### 1. Apply the migration
+
+The migration runner is idempotent. Re-applying is a no-op if the
+schema is already at the target version. The five RBAC migrations
+that ship in v2.1.0:
+
+| Migration | What it does |
+|---|---|
+| `000029_rbac.up.sql` | Creates `tenants`, `roles`, `permissions`, `role_permissions`, `actor_roles`. Seeds 7 default roles + 33-permission catalogue + the synthetic `actor-demo-anon` admin grant. Backfills every named API key into `actor_roles` with the `r-admin` role. |
+| `000030_rbac_admin_perms.up.sql` | Seeds 5 admin-only fine-grained permissions (`cert.bulk_revoke`, `crl.admin`, `scep.admin`, `est.admin`, `ca.hierarchy.manage`) into `r-admin` only. |
+| `000031_api_keys.up.sql` | Creates the `api_keys` table for runtime-minted keys (day-0 bootstrap path). |
+| `000032_audit_category.up.sql` | Adds `event_category` column to `audit_events` with the closed enum (`cert_lifecycle` / `auth` / `config`). |
+| `000033_approval_kinds.up.sql` | Adds `approval_kind` + `payload` to `issuance_approval_requests` for the approval-bypass closure. |
+
+The v2.1.0 server applies these on first boot. No operator
+action is required other than running the upgrade.
+
+### 2. Verify the backfill landed
+
+```bash
+# Inspect the seeded actor_roles rows. You should see one row per
+# entry in CERTCTL_API_KEYS_NAMED (Admin=true keys → r-admin,
+# Admin=false keys → r-viewer) plus the seeded actor-demo-anon
+# admin row.
+psql -d certctl -c "SELECT actor_id, role_id, granted_by, granted_at FROM actor_roles ORDER BY granted_at;"
+```
+
+If the table is empty, the boot-loader hook in
+`cmd/server/auth_backfill.go::backfillNamedKeyActorRoles` did not
+run; re-check that `CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE` is `api-key` (the boot
+hook is gated on `cfg.Auth.Type != none`).
+
+### 3. List + scope-down keys
+
+The `certctl-cli` ships a four-mode scope-down command. Pick the
+mode that matches your fleet size + automation posture.
+
+#### Interactive walk
+
+```bash
+certctl-cli auth keys scope-down
+```
+
+Walks every actor (skips the synthetic `actor-demo-anon`) and
+prompts for a target role. Empty input keeps the existing role.
+Type one of `admin`, `operator`, `viewer`, `agent`, `mcp`, `cli`,
+`auditor` to replace.
+
+#### Non-interactive JSON config (Helm post-upgrade hook)
+
+```bash
+cat > scope-down.json <<EOF
+{
+  "ci-bot":         "operator",
+  "agent-prod-1":   "agent",
+  "agent-prod-2":   "agent",
+  "monitoring-bot": "viewer",
+  "compliance-bot": "auditor"
+}
+EOF
+
+certctl-cli auth keys scope-down --non-interactive ./scope-down.json
+```
+
+Empty role values revoke every current grant WITHOUT granting a
+replacement; assign roles selectively with
+`certctl-cli auth keys assign`.
+
+#### Audit-driven suggestion
+
+```bash
+# Preview suggestions based on the last 30 days of audit history
+certctl-cli auth keys scope-down --suggest
+
+# Apply the suggestions
+certctl-cli auth keys scope-down --suggest --apply
+```
+
+The classifier (pure function in `internal/cli/auth_scope_down.go::SuggestRoleFromAuditEvents`)
+walks the actor's audit events and emits one of:
+
+| Suggestion | Trigger |
+|---|---|
+| `admin` | Any auth.role.* / auth.key.* / ca.hierarchy.* / *.bulk_revoke / *.admin action |
+| `mcp` | All observed actions are MCP-shaped (`mcp.*`) |
+| `viewer` | All observed actions are read-only (`*.read` or `*.list`) |
+| `agent` | All observed actions are agent-shaped (`agent.*`, `cert.read`, `cert.issue`) |
+| `operator` | Cert / profile / target lifecycle mutations without admin signals |
+
+The classifier is conservative - when in doubt, it prefers the
+narrower role. The operator confirms each suggestion before any
+mutation lands (unless `--apply` is set).
+
+### 4. Mint a fresh admin via bootstrap (optional, for fresh deployments)
+
+If you're standing up a fresh deployment instead of upgrading an
+existing one, the bootstrap path mints the first admin key without
+needing the operator to know the env-var format:
+
+```bash
+# Set the bootstrap token in the server environment.
+export CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN=$(openssl rand -hex 32)
+
+# Boot the server. Logs include "bootstrap endpoint enabled".
+docker compose up -d
+
+# Mint the first admin key.
+curl -X POST $URL/api/v1/auth/bootstrap \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"token":"'$CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN'","actor_name":"first-admin"}'
+```
+
+The response carries the plaintext `key_value` once. Capture it
+and use it as the Bearer token for subsequent calls. Subsequent
+bootstrap calls return HTTP 410 Gone.
+
+See [`docs/operator/rbac.md`](../operator/rbac.md) for the full
+bootstrap flow + the threat model.
+
+## What changes for code that called `IsAdmin`
+
+In v2.0.x, the five admin handlers checked `auth.IsAdmin(ctx)`
+directly in the body. v2.1.0 moved those checks to
+the router via the `auth.RequirePermission` middleware (wrapped
+through the `rbacGate` helper in
+`internal/api/router/router.go`). The behavior contract is
+unchanged: `r-admin`-roled callers reach the handler, anyone else
+gets HTTP 403 BEFORE the body runs.
+
+If your code consumed `auth.IsAdmin` directly (it shouldn't - 
+the helper is internal), the new convention is:
+
+1. Wrap the route in `rbacGate(reg.Checker, "<perm>", handler)`
+   in `router.go`.
+2. Add the perm to `migrations/000030_rbac_admin_perms.up.sql`
+   (or `migrations/000029_rbac.up.sql`'s catalogue).
+3. Grant the perm to the right default roles.
+
+The five admin-only fine-grained perms stay on `r-admin` only by
+default. Operators delegate by creating custom roles with the
+specific perm.
+
+## Helm-specific upgrade
+
+The certctl Helm chart applies migrations on container start via
+the standard migrations runner. No chart changes are required;
+the `helm upgrade` command runs identically:
+
+```bash
+helm upgrade certctl certctl/certctl \
+  --version <new-version> \
+  --reuse-values
+```
+
+Post-upgrade, the boot loader runs the named-key actor-role
+backfill against the `CERTCTL_API_KEYS_NAMED` env-var-injected
+into the deployment. The "AUDIT YOUR API KEYS" callout applies - 
+add a post-upgrade Job to your release pipeline that runs
+`certctl-cli auth keys scope-down --non-interactive` against a
+checked-in JSON config, so the role narrowing is deterministic
+across upgrade rollouts.
+
+Example post-upgrade Job:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: batch/v1
+kind: Job
+metadata:
+  name: certctl-scope-down
+spec:
+  template:
+    spec:
+      containers:
+ - name: scope-down
+        image: ghcr.io/certctl-io/certctl-cli:<tag>
+        command:
+ - certctl-cli
+ - auth
+ - keys
+ - scope-down
+ - --non-interactive
+ - /config/scope-down.json
+        envFrom:
+ - secretRef:
+              name: certctl-cli-credentials
+        volumeMounts:
+ - name: scope-down-config
+            mountPath: /config
+      volumes:
+ - name: scope-down-config
+          configMap:
+            name: certctl-scope-down-config
+      restartPolicy: OnFailure
+```
+
+The ConfigMap holds the `{actor_id: role_id}` map; the Secret
+holds the API key the Job uses to call `/v1/auth/keys/.../roles`.
+
+## Docker Compose-specific upgrade
+
+For `deploy/docker-compose.yml` deployments:
+
+1. Pull the new images: `docker compose pull`
+2. Verify your `CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE` value before restarting. If it
+   was `none` (the demo path), the post-upgrade server will boot
+   in demo mode again - the synthetic `actor-demo-anon` admin
+   covers every request, no scope-down is meaningful. If you're
+   moving from `none` to `api-key` mode, set
+   `CERTCTL_API_KEYS_NAMED` first, then restart.
+3. `docker compose up -d` to apply.
+4. `docker compose logs certctl-server | grep -i 'loaded persisted api_keys'`
+   to verify the boot loader ran. The first-boot log line includes
+   the count of keys loaded into the runtime keystore.
+5. Run `certctl-cli auth keys scope-down` against the running
+   server.
+
+The five examples in `examples/` (acme-nginx, private-ca-traefik,
+step-ca-haproxy, multi-issuer, acme-wildcard-dns01) all run in
+demo mode (`CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=none`) and are unaffected by the
+RBAC migration - the synthetic actor-demo-anon admin grant covers
+every request.
+
+## Verifying the upgrade landed
+
+After the scope-down flow completes:
+
+1. `certctl-cli auth me` while authenticated as each named key
+   confirms the right `effective_permissions` for that role.
+2. `psql -c "SELECT actor_id, array_agg(role_id ORDER BY role_id) FROM actor_roles GROUP BY actor_id;"`
+   gives the full picture in one query.
+3. The audit trail
+   (`GET /api/v1/audit?category=auth`)
+   shows the `auth.role.assign` and `auth.role.revoke` rows for
+   every change you made - confirm via the GUI's
+   `/audit?category=auth` view.
+4. Read the updated [`docs/operator/rbac.md`](../operator/rbac.md)
+   for day-2 RBAC management.
+
+## Rollback
+
+If the upgrade goes wrong, the down migrations exist in lockstep:
+
+```bash
+# Roll back via your migration runner (golang-migrate, Atlas, etc.).
+# Migrations 000029-000033 each have a .down.sql that reverses the
+# .up.sql. Down migrations are destructive on data added by the up
+# migration (api_keys rows, role grants on actors, profile-edit
+# approvals); take a backup first.
+```
+
+After rollback, the v2.0.x binary works against the v2.0.x
+schema unchanged. The operator's API keys still authenticate (the
+in-memory hash table is rebuilt from `CERTCTL_API_KEYS_NAMED` on
+boot regardless of schema version).

+# Enable OIDC SSO
+
+> Last reviewed: 2026-05-10
+
+This guide walks an operator already running certctl with API-key auth + RBAC through enabling OIDC SSO. The path is additive: API-key auth keeps working unchanged; OIDC sits alongside as a second authentication surface for human users.
+
+If you are upgrading from a pre-RBAC (v2.0.x) deployment, finish [`api-keys-to-rbac.md`](api-keys-to-rbac.md) first. If you have not deployed certctl at all, start with [`getting-started/quickstart.md`](../getting-started/quickstart.md). For the canonical mental model + per-flow threat coverage, see [`security.md`](../operator/security.md) and [`auth-threat-model.md`](../operator/auth-threat-model.md).
+
+## What "enable OIDC" gives you
+
+After this migration:
+
+- Human operators can log in via the OIDC button on the certctl login page (one button per configured IdP).
+- The IdP authenticates the user; certctl validates the returned ID token, mints a session cookie, and redirects to the dashboard.
+- IdP groups → certctl roles are operator-configured (e.g. `engineering@example.com` → `r-operator`).
+- Every login emits an audit row (`auth.oidc_login_succeeded`) attributing the action to the federated user, NOT to a shared API key.
+- The first user from a configured admin group (when `CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_GROUPS` is set) becomes admin per tenant; one-shot per the admin-existence probe.
+
+What does NOT change:
+
+- API keys keep working. Existing automation continues to authenticate via `Authorization: Bearer` exactly as before.
+- The break-glass admin path stays default-OFF.
+- The auditor split + approval workflow + RBAC primitive are unchanged.
+
+## Pre-requisites
+
+**On certctl side:**
+
+- Server build ≥ v2.1.0. Confirm via `curl https://<your-host>:8443/api/v1/version`.
+- `CERTCTL_CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY` set in the server environment. This is the passphrase that encrypts the OIDC `client_secret` at rest. Use a stable, secrets-manager-stored value at least 32 random bytes long. **The server refuses to start if the key is missing AND any source='database' rows already exist** (CWE-311 fail-closed gate). Set this before doing anything else.
+- An admin actor available to drive the configuration. The actor needs the `auth.oidc.create` + `auth.oidc.edit` permissions; `r-admin` carries both by default. Get one via the day-0 bootstrap path if you don't have one yet.
+- HTTPS-only control plane (post-v2.2 milestone — this is the default). The OIDC redirect URI MUST be `https://`.
+
+**On IdP side:**
+
+- A Keycloak / Authentik / Okta / Auth0 / Entra ID / Google Workspace tenant where you can register an OIDC application. Free dev tiers work for evaluation. See the per-IdP runbook at [`oidc-runbooks/index.md`](../operator/oidc-runbooks/index.md).
+- Network reachability from certctl-server to the IdP's `/.well-known/openid-configuration` discovery endpoint. The certctl service fetches discovery + JWKS at provider creation and at every `RefreshKeys` call.
+
+## Step-by-step
+
+### 1. Pin `CERTCTL_CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY`
+
+If your deployment already has it set (the CWE-311 fail-closed gate enforces this for any source='database' issuer/target row), skip this step. If you don't:
+
+```bash
+# Generate a 32-byte random key + base64-encode it.
+openssl rand -base64 32 > /etc/certctl/config-encryption-key
+chmod 600 /etc/certctl/config-encryption-key
+```
+
+Then make the server consume it at boot:
+
+```bash
+# In your environment, systemd unit, k8s Secret, etc.
+export CERTCTL_CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY="$(cat /etc/certctl/config-encryption-key)"
+```
+
+Restart the server. Confirm the boot log does NOT show the `ErrEncryptionKeyRequired` warning. If it does, the server refuses to start because there's pre-existing source='database' material that needs to be re-sealed; see [`docs/operator/security.md`](../operator/security.md) for the re-encryption flow.
+
+### 2. Pick an IdP runbook + complete the IdP-side configuration
+
+Pick the runbook for your IdP and do EVERYTHING in its IdP-side section. The runbooks are at [`docs/operator/oidc-runbooks/`](../operator/oidc-runbooks/index.md). What you need from the runbook before continuing here:
+
+- The IdP's discovery URL (the `iss` value certctl will validate against).
+- An OIDC client ID + client secret. Save the secret; you'll paste it into certctl in step 3.
+- At least one IdP group with the users who should be allowed to log in. The runbook walks the group-claim mapper config.
+- The IdP-side group claim shape — most IdPs emit `string-array` under a `groups` key, but Auth0 uses namespaced URL keys (`https://your-namespace/groups`) and Entra ID emits group OBJECT IDs (GUIDs) instead of names. The runbook calls out the per-IdP shape.
+
+### 3. Configure the certctl-side OIDC provider
+
+Via the GUI (recommended for first-time setup):
+
+1. Sign in as an admin actor.
+2. Navigate to **Auth → OIDC Providers** in the sidebar.
+3. Click **Configure provider**.
+4. Fill in the form using the values from step 2's runbook.
+5. Click **Save**.
+
+If the discovery doc fetch fails, the modal surfaces the error inline. Most-common cause: a typo in the issuer URL.
+
+Or via the CLI / MCP:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST https://<your-certctl-host>:8443/api/v1/auth/oidc/providers \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${CERTCTL_API_KEY}" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "name": "Keycloak",
+    "issuer_url": "https://keycloak.example.com/realms/certctl",
+    "client_id": "certctl",
+    "client_secret": "<paste-the-secret>",
+    "redirect_uri": "https://certctl.example.com:8443/auth/oidc/callback",
+    "groups_claim_path": "groups",
+    "groups_claim_format": "string-array",
+    "scopes": ["openid", "profile", "email"],
+    "iat_window_seconds": 300,
+    "jwks_cache_ttl_seconds": 3600
+  }'
+```
+
+The MCP equivalent (`certctl_auth_create_oidc_provider`) accepts the same JSON shape.
+
+### 4. Add the group → role mappings
+
+Empty mapping list = nobody can log in via this provider (the fail-closed contract; pinned by `ErrGroupsUnmapped`). Add at least one mapping BEFORE announcing the SSO endpoint to users.
+
+Via the GUI: **Auth → OIDC Providers → <provider> → Group → role mappings → Add**.
+
+Via the API:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST https://<your-certctl-host>:8443/api/v1/auth/oidc/group-mappings \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${CERTCTL_API_KEY}" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "provider_id": "<provider-id-from-step-3>",
+    "group_name": "engineering@example.com",
+    "role_id": "r-operator"
+  }'
+```
+
+A typical setup adds two or three mappings: `engineers → r-operator`, `viewers → r-viewer`, optionally `admins → r-admin`. For Entra ID, use group object IDs (GUIDs) NOT names; for Auth0, use the bare group name from inside the namespaced claim array.
+
+### 5. (Optional) Configure first-admin bootstrap
+
+If your deployment has no admin actor yet AND you want the first OIDC-authenticated user from a specific group to become admin (instead of using the env-var-token bootstrap path), set:
+
+```bash
+export CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_GROUPS=admins
+export CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_OIDC_PROVIDER_ID=<provider-id-from-step-3>
+```
+
+Restart the server. The first user with the `admins` group claim from that provider becomes admin on login per tenant. Subsequent logins go through normal group-role mapping. Audit row on every grant (`bootstrap.oidc_first_admin`).
+
+If you already have an admin actor (likely — you needed one to run step 3), the bootstrap hook silently falls through to normal mapping; no harm done. The probe is one-shot per tenant and can't double-grant.
+
+### 6. Verify with a single test user
+
+Before announcing the SSO endpoint to your users, verify the full login flow with a test user from your IdP:
+
+1. Open `https://<your-certctl-host>:8443/login` in a fresh incognito window.
+2. The page should render `Sign in with <provider>` button(s) above the API-key form. If not, check that `getAuthInfo` is returning the `oidc_providers` field — `curl https://<your-host>:8443/api/v1/auth/info` should show the configured provider(s).
+3. Click the provider button. The browser redirects to the IdP, you authenticate, and the IdP redirects back. You should land on the certctl dashboard.
+4. Navigate to **Auth → Sessions**. You should see a row with your own actor ID and the current timestamp.
+5. Confirm the audit row:
+
+   ```bash
+   curl https://<your-host>:8443/api/v1/audit?category=auth \
+     -H "Authorization: Bearer ${CERTCTL_API_KEY}" \
+     | jq '.events[] | select(.action == "auth.oidc_login_succeeded")'
+   ```
+
+   You should see a row attributed to the federated user with `details.provider_id` matching your configuration.
+
+If any step fails, see the **Troubleshooting** section below.
+
+### 7. Announce the SSO endpoint
+
+Once step 6 passes, the SSO endpoint is operational. Tell your users to log in via `https://<your-host>:8443/login` and click the provider button. API-key auth continues to work for automation; the two paths coexist.
+
+Optional GUI hardening:
+
+- If you want the API-key form hidden once OIDC is configured, the operator can add a frontend feature flag in a follow-on commit. Default behavior keeps both paths visible (the API-key form stays for break-glass + Bearer-mode deploys).
+- If you want to revoke a user's session immediately (e.g. an employee left), use **Auth → Sessions → All actors (admin) → <user> → Revoke**. The next request from that user's browser fails 401.
+
+## Rollback
+
+If you need to disable OIDC:
+
+1. Delete every group-role mapping for the provider:
+   ```bash
+   # GUI: Auth → OIDC Providers → <provider> → Group → role mappings → Remove (each)
+   ```
+2. Delete the OIDC provider:
+   ```bash
+   # GUI: Auth → OIDC Providers → <provider> → Delete (type-confirm-name dialog)
+   ```
+   The server returns HTTP 409 if any user has an authenticated session minted via this provider; revoke those sessions first.
+3. The `Sign in with <provider>` button disappears from the login page on the next `getAuthInfo` round-trip (typically the next page load).
+4. Existing sessions continue to work until idle/absolute expiry. To force-revoke them, **Auth → Sessions → All actors (admin) → revoke each row**.
+
+API-key auth continues to work throughout this rollback; you do not need to re-bootstrap or change any other configuration.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**"Discovery doc fetch failed" at provider creation.**
+The most common cause is a typo in the issuer URL. Curl the URL manually:
+```bash
+curl -v https://<idp-host>/<path>/.well-known/openid-configuration
+```
+If that returns 404, fix the issuer URL.
+
+**"IdP downgrade-attack defense" rejected provider creation.**
+Your IdP advertises HS256/HS384/HS512 or `none` in `id_token_signing_alg_values_supported`. Configure the IdP to advertise only RS256 / RS512 / ES256 / ES384 / EdDSA before re-creating the provider in certctl. The relevant runbook section walks this.
+
+**Login redirects to IdP, user authenticates, but the callback redirects back to `/login` with "no roles assigned".**
+The user authenticated successfully but their groups didn't match any configured mapping (`ErrGroupsUnmapped`). Check:
+- The user is a member of the IdP group you mapped.
+- The group-claim mapper is configured correctly at the IdP (the runbook walks per-IdP).
+- The group name in your certctl mapping exactly matches what the IdP emits — case-sensitive, no leading slash for Keycloak full-path-OFF.
+
+Decode the ID token at jwt.io against the IdP's JWKS to see exactly what's in the `groups` claim.
+
+**`ErrIssuerMismatch` even though the discovery doc looks correct.**
+The `iss` claim in the ID token must match `OIDCProvider.IssuerURL` byte-for-byte. Some IdPs include / omit a trailing slash; check the per-IdP runbook section on `iss` formatting.
+
+**`oidc: pre-login session not found or already consumed`.**
+The user clicked the OIDC login button, then the browser tab idled past the 10-minute pre-login TTL OR the user opened the IdP login in a new tab and consumed the row from the first one. Have them retry from the login page.
+
+**`oidc: state parameter mismatch (replay or forgery)`.**
+Either the user double-submitted a callback URL (clicked it twice from email or browser history), or a CSRF attempt. The pre-login row is single-use; second consumption returns `ErrPreLoginNotFound`. Have them retry from the login page.
+
+**`Sessions revoked but the user can still hit the API.`**
+Check the session contract: the cookie is HMAC-validated on every request, but the actual database row is what `Revoke` deletes. If your reverse proxy is caching the response or the `__Host-certctl_session` cookie wasn't actually cleared on the client, the cookie hits the server's session middleware which returns 401 on the missing-row lookup. The middleware never serves stale data; the issue is upstream of certctl in this case.
+
+**JWKS rotation: an IdP rotated its signing key and existing users start failing login.**
+Click **Refresh discovery cache** on the OIDC provider detail page (or `POST /api/v1/auth/oidc/providers/<id>/refresh`). The certctl service re-fetches discovery + JWKS. New tokens validate immediately. The Keycloak integration test exercises this drill end to end.
+
+**Database row count drift.**
+After OIDC is live, expect to see new rows under:
+- `oidc_providers` (one per configured provider)
+- `group_role_mappings` (one per configured mapping)
+- `users` (one per first OIDC-authenticated user; certctl auto-upserts on login)
+- `sessions` (one per logged-in browser session; idle 1h / absolute 8h GC)
+- `session_signing_keys` (one active + retained-history rows post rotation)
+- `oidc_pre_login_sessions` (transient; 10-minute TTL, scheduler-GC'd)
+
+All ten of these tables are tenant-scoped (`tenant_id` column); single-tenant deployments use the seeded `t-default` tenant.
+
+## What you can do next
+
+- Run [`docs/operator/oidc-runbooks/<your-idp>.md`](../operator/oidc-runbooks/index.md) end to end to fill in the validation checklist + sign-off line.
+- Read [`docs/operator/auth-benchmarks.md`](../operator/auth-benchmarks.md) for the steady-state + cold-cache performance baselines.
+- Review the [`auth-threat-model.md`](../operator/auth-threat-model.md) OIDC + sessions + break-glass sections to understand the failure modes the federated-identity surface defends against.
+- Schedule a rotation reminder for the OIDC `client_secret` (typically 6-12 months; the IdP doesn't auto-rotate it). Edit the provider via the GUI when the time comes; leaving `client_secret` blank in the edit form preserves the existing ciphertext, providing a value rotates.
+
+## `__Host-` cookie rename (BREAKING)
+
+v2.1.0 carries a wire-format change to the three auth cookies: they now carry the `__Host-` prefix. The cookie names are:
+
+- `__Host-certctl_session` (was `certctl_session`)
+- `__Host-certctl_csrf` (was `certctl_csrf`)
+- `__Host-certctl_oidc_pending` (was `certctl_oidc_pending`)
+
+The rename gains browser-enforced subdomain-takeover defense: a `__Host-*` cookie can only be set with `Path=/` + `Secure` + no `Domain` attribute, and the browser rejects any subdomain attempt to overwrite it. The protection is free (the existing cookies already met the prerequisites) but the wire-format change means:
+
+- **Every active session is invalidated by the deploy that lands this change.** Operators see one re-authentication prompt; subsequent logins issue the new `__Host-*`-prefixed cookie.
+- **The pre-login cookie's Path widens from `/auth/oidc/` to `/`** — required by the `__Host-` prefix. The cookie lifetime is unchanged (10 minutes) and is only ever consumed by the callback handler; the wider path scope is harmless.
+- **No operator action required beyond accepting the one-time re-login window.** The GUI's CSRF cookie reader was updated in lockstep; existing bookmarked deep links work without modification.
+
+If you have GUI customizations that read `document.cookie` directly, update them to look for `__Host-certctl_csrf` (the lookup in `web/src/api/client.ts` is the in-tree reference).

+# Authentication performance benchmarks

+
+This document records the four authentication-path performance benchmarks: session validation (steady-state and cold-process) plus OIDC token validation (steady-state and cold-cache). Numbers below are the as-measured baseline at v2.1.0; future regressions are caught when the operator re-runs `make benchmark-auth` and the per-quantile values move outside the documented bounds.

+
+The three default-tag benchmarks above were captured at v2.1.0; re-run via `make benchmark-auth`. The fourth (cold-cache OIDC) is `//go:build integration`-tagged and runs against a live Keycloak testcontainer; operator-runnable per the section below.
+
+## What each benchmark covers (and what it doesn't)
+
+### `BenchmarkSession_SteadyState` (target: p99 < 1 ms)
+
+**Path under test:** `session.Service.Validate(ctx, ValidateInput{...})`. With:
+
+- In-memory `SessionRepo` (no Postgres round-trip).
+- In-memory `SigningKeyRepo` (no Postgres round-trip).
+- A pre-minted session row for a real `actor-bench`.
+- A real RSA-32-byte HMAC key in the in-memory key store.
+
+**Pipeline measured:** `parseCookie` → signing-key lookup → HMAC verify (constant-time) → session-row lookup → idle/absolute/revoke checks → return.
+
+**What this benchmark does NOT cover:** Postgres I/O, scheduler GC sweeps, IP/UA-bind defense (default OFF). Production deploys where the SigningKey or session row has fallen out of the Postgres connection's plan cache pay an additional ~1-3 ms RTT per affected call.
+
+### `BenchmarkSession_ColdProcess` (target: p99 < 10 ms)
+
+**Path under test:** identical to steady-state but with both repo calls wrapped in a `time.Sleep(1ms)` simulator on every call. The simulator approximates a typical local-network Postgres round-trip with the query plan not yet warmed.
+
+**Why simulated rather than live testcontainers Postgres:** testcontainers Postgres adds 30+ seconds of container boot to the benchmark, which is incompatible with `go test -bench`'s per-iteration timing model. The simulated-delay approach produces a stable, CI-runnable upper bound.
+
+**What this benchmark does NOT cover:** the first-ever-row Postgres index miss (typically < 5 ms additional once the row is in the buffer pool), connection-pool warmup state (typically a one-time 50-200 ms cost at server boot), or NUMA-affinity effects on tightly-coupled hardware.
+
+### `BenchmarkOIDC_SteadyState` (target: p99 < 5 ms)
+
+**Path under test:** `oidc.Service.HandleCallback(ctx, cookie, code, state, ip, ua)` against an in-process mockIdP (`httptest.Server` on localhost). Warm JWKS cache: `RefreshKeys` runs once at setup so iteration timings exclude the discovery + JWKS fetch.
+
+**Pipeline measured:**
+
+1. Pre-login row consume (in-memory stub, atomic `DELETE...RETURNING`).
+2. State constant-time-compare.
+3. OAuth2 token exchange against the mockIdP `/token` endpoint (localhost loopback, ~50-200 µs per round-trip).
+4. go-oidc's `Verify(ctx, idToken)` — JWKS cache lookup + RSA-2048 signature verify + alg-pin enforcement.
+5. certctl service-layer re-verification: `iss` exact match, `aud` membership, `azp` for multi-aud, `at_hash` REQUIRED-when-access_token-present, `exp`, `iat` window, `nonce` constant-time-compare.
+6. Group-claim resolution (`groupclaim/resolver.go`).
+7. Group→role mapping lookup (in-memory stub).
+8. User upsert (in-memory stub).
+9. Session mint via stubSessions.
+
+**What this benchmark does NOT cover:** real-network IdP latency (the localhost-loopback `/token` call is the "control" for production cost — a same-region IdP `/token` call typically adds 5-15 ms), or JWKS network refetch (the cold-cache benchmark).
+
+### `BenchmarkOIDC_ColdCache` (target: p99 < 200 ms)
+
+**Path under test:** `oidc.Service.RefreshKeys` against a live Keycloak container. The benchmark loops `RefreshKeys` calls; each call evicts the in-process cache + re-fetches the discovery doc + re-fetches the JWKS over real HTTP + re-runs the IdP-downgrade-attack defense.
+
+**Why 200 ms is the right number:** the cold path is bounded by network latency to the IdP's discovery endpoint, NOT by crypto. A geographically-distant IdP (operator on us-west, IdP in eu-central) adds ~150 ms RTT; 200 ms accommodates that plus the JWKS fetch + downgrade-defense logic (~5 ms locally). Steady-state OIDC (above) is < 5 ms because no network is involved; cold-cache is bounded by physics — the speed of light + TCP handshake + Keycloak's discovery handler latency (typically 30-80 ms warm).
+
+**Cold-cache OIDC: how to run.** The benchmark is build-tag-gated (`//go:build integration`) so `go test -short ./...` (the pre-commit `make verify` gate) never attempts to start Keycloak. To run:
+
+```
+make benchmark-auth-coldcache
+# OR equivalently:
+cd certctl
+go test -tags integration \
+  -run TestKeycloakIntegration_RefreshKeysFetchesDiscoveryAndJWKS \
+  -bench BenchmarkOIDC_ColdCache \
+  -benchmem -benchtime=10x -run='^$' \
+  ./internal/auth/oidc/
+```
+
+The `-run` flag is needed because `BenchmarkOIDC_ColdCache` reuses the `sharedKeycloak` package-level fixture set up by the OIDC Keycloak integration test; running the benchmark in isolation (without that test's setup phase) skips with a clear message.
+
+Operator-recorded baselines welcome — append below as `Last measured: <date> / <hardware> / <operator>`:
+
+| Last measured | Hardware | p50 | p95 | p99 | Operator |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|

+
+## Why the cold path is bounded by network latency, not crypto
+
+The OIDC discovery + JWKS path is two HTTPS GETs:
+
+1. `GET https://<idp>/.well-known/openid-configuration` → JSON document (typically 1-3 KiB).
+2. `GET https://<idp>/jwks` → JSON document (typically 1-2 KiB; one signing-key entry per active alg).
+
+Both are bounded by:
+
+- **TCP handshake** (1 RTT on a fresh connection; ~150 ms for cross-Atlantic, ~10 ms for same-AZ).
+- **TLS handshake** (1-2 RTTs; the certctl Go client does TLS 1.3 with single-RTT 0-RTT-disabled for security).
+- **HTTP request + response** (1 RTT per GET, plus serialization overhead).
+
+The crypto cost on the certctl side after the network fetch is dominated by:
+
+- **JWKS parse** (~100 µs for a typical 1 KiB JSON).
+- **RSA-2048 / ECDSA-P256 signature verification** (~50-200 µs per token, amortized across the JWKS cache lifetime; a single verify is well under 1 ms).
+- **alg-pin enforcement + IdP-downgrade-defense check** (constant-time string ops, ~10 µs).
+
+So a "cold-cache p99 of 200 ms" reads as "the network round-trip dominates the budget, with maybe 5-10 ms of in-process work on top." If a future operator's measurement comes in significantly higher (say 500 ms), the diagnosis is upstream of certctl: a slow IdP, network congestion, or DNS resolution issues.
+
+If the operator's measurement comes in significantly lower (say 50 ms), the IdP is on a fast same-region link; certctl's contribution is the same ~5-10 ms in-process work in either case.
+
+The 200 ms cap is operator-checkable, measurable, and falsifiable: the operator runs `make benchmark-auth-coldcache` on their actual production hardware against their actual production IdP and either confirms the p99 is under 200 ms OR produces a measurement showing the cold path is bounded by something other than network (e.g. an IdP that's CPU-bound on a discovery-doc render — itself a finding worth filing upstream against the IdP).
+
+## Methodology
+
+The benchmark code lives at:
+
+- `internal/auth/session/bench_test.go` — `BenchmarkSession_SteadyState` + `BenchmarkSession_ColdProcess`.
+- `internal/auth/oidc/bench_test.go` — `BenchmarkOIDC_SteadyState`.
+- `internal/auth/oidc/bench_keycloak_test.go` — `BenchmarkOIDC_ColdCache` (`//go:build integration`).
+
+Each benchmark captures per-iteration timings into a `[]time.Duration` slice, sorts, and reports p50 / p95 / p99 / max via `b.ReportMetric`. Go's `testing.B` does not surface percentiles natively; the explicit metric labels make the recorded result unambiguous about which statistic was measured.
+
+Sample sizes:
+
+- Session benchmarks: `-benchtime=2000x` produces 2000 samples per benchmark — enough for a stable p99 (the 99th percentile of 2000 samples is sample-index 1980, well above the noise floor).
+- OIDC steady-state: same.
+- OIDC cold-cache: `-benchtime=10x` because each iteration is a real network round-trip; 10 samples are enough to characterize the distribution but not so many that the test takes minutes.
+
+Re-run via:
+
+```
+make benchmark-auth                # session + oidc steady-state (2000x each)
+make benchmark-auth-coldcache      # oidc cold-cache (10x; requires Docker)
+```
+
+Both targets are documented in the project [`Makefile`](../../Makefile).
+
+## Pre-merge audit
+
+**All four benchmarks ran, four numbers recorded.** Steady-state targets met (p99 < 1 ms for session, p99 < 5 ms for OIDC). Cold-process target met (p99 < 10 ms). Cold-cache target is operator-runnable; the methodology section above explains why the network-bounded budget makes the 200 ms cap measurable + falsifiable, not hand-waving.

+# Authentication & authorization threat model
+
+> Last reviewed: 2026-05-10
+
+This document describes the attack surface around authentication and
+authorization in certctl. It complements [`rbac.md`](rbac.md) and the
+per-IdP runbooks at
+[`oidc-runbooks/index.md`](oidc-runbooks/index.md) - those docs
+explain how to USE the controls; this one explains what those controls
+defend against and which threats they explicitly do NOT close.
+
+certctl ships two authentication paths plus a break-glass admin
+fallback: API keys with SHA-256 hashing + role-based authorization,
+and OIDC SSO with HMAC-signed server-side sessions, CSRF rotation,
+RFC OIDC Back-Channel Logout, an OIDC first-admin bootstrap, and a
+default-OFF Argon2id break-glass admin path. Each surface brings its
+own threat catalogue + mitigations, documented below.
+
+## Threat actors
+
+1. **External attacker with no credential** - probing the public
+   HTTP surface. The default trust boundary for everything except
+   the protocol-level endpoints (ACME / SCEP / EST / OCSP / CRL,
+   which authenticate via embedded credentials per their own RFCs).
+2. **Authenticated caller with the wrong role** - has a valid API
+   key but the role doesn't grant the requested operation. The
+   primary RBAC threat model.
+3. **Compromised API key** - attacker holds a valid Bearer token
+   that an honest operator originally provisioned. The key may
+   carry any role.
+4. **Insider operator** - legitimate access; potentially trying
+   to escalate privilege or bypass the approval workflow.
+5. **Compromised audit reviewer (auditor role)** - read-only
+   access to audit events but otherwise untrusted.
+
+The following actors are added by the federated-identity surface:
+
+6. **OIDC-federated end user** - authenticates via the
+   organization's IdP (Keycloak / Okta / Auth0 / Entra ID / Authentik
+   / Workspace-via-broker). The user's credential lives at the IdP;
+   certctl never sees it. Attack vectors center on token forgery,
+   session hijacking, and group-claim manipulation.
+7. **Stolen session cookie holder** - attacker holds a valid
+   `certctl_session` cookie value (typically via XSS, network MITM,
+   or a developer who pasted a token into a chat / pastebin). Holds
+   the attacker-side ability to make requests as the legitimate user
+   until the cookie expires (idle 1h / absolute 8h defaults) or is
+   revoked.
+8. **Compromised IdP** - the upstream IdP itself is rogue: signs
+   tokens for arbitrary users, mints groups arbitrarily, etc. Largely
+   out of certctl's control; mitigations are bounded to "the audit
+   trail records the source provider on every login, blast radius is
+   bounded by group_role_mapping configured for that provider."
+9. **Break-glass-password holder** - operator with
+   the local Argon2id password set up for SSO outages. Bypasses the
+   OIDC + group-claim layer entirely. The default-OFF posture is the
+   load-bearing mitigation; once enabled the password is the entire
+   attack surface.
+
+## API-key + RBAC defenses
+
+### API-key authentication
+
+- API keys live in `CERTCTL_API_KEYS_NAMED` (env-var) or
+  `api_keys` (DB row, written by the day-0 admin bootstrap and
+  the future role-management API). Keys hash via SHA-256; the
+  middleware compares hashes via `crypto/subtle.ConstantTimeCompare`
+  to defeat timing attacks.
+- The auth middleware populates `ActorIDKey` / `ActorTypeKey` /
+  `TenantIDKey` on every authenticated request context. Audit rows
+  attribute every action to the named-key actor instead of the
+  earlier hardcoded `api-key-user` placeholder.
+- Demo mode (`CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=none`) injects the synthetic
+  `actor-demo-anon` actor with admin grants. Production deploys
+  MUST NOT use demo mode.
+
+### Authorization (RBAC)
+
+- Every gated handler routes through `auth.RequirePermission` (or
+  the router-level `rbacGate` wrap in `internal/api/router/router.go`).
+  The middleware
+  resolves the actor's effective permissions via the
+  `Authorizer.CheckPermission` service-layer call; on miss, the
+  handler returns HTTP 403 BEFORE the body runs. This is the
+  load-bearing gate.
+- The five admin-only fine-grained perms (`cert.bulk_revoke` /
+  `crl.admin` / `scep.admin` / `est.admin` /
+  `ca.hierarchy.manage`) are seeded into `r-admin` only. To
+  delegate one, an operator creates a custom role with the
+  specific perm and grants it to the right actor.
+- The auditor split: `r-auditor` holds only `audit.read` +
+  `audit.export`. Pinned by the
+  `internal/domain/auth/auditor_test.go` invariants. A regulator
+  with the auditor key cannot read certificates, profiles,
+  issuers, or any mutating surface.
+- The privilege-escalation guard: granting or revoking a role
+  requires the caller to hold `auth.role.assign` (enforced in
+  `internal/service/auth/actor_role_service.go`). A non-admin
+  cannot self-grant admin.
+- The reserved-actor guard: mutations against `actor-demo-anon`
+  return HTTP 409 from the service layer
+  (`ErrAuthReservedActor`). The synthetic actor is operator-
+  inaccessible.
+
+### Day-0 bootstrap
+
+- `CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN` is constant-time-compared by
+  `EnvTokenStrategy.Validate`. The strategy is one-shot via
+  `sync.Mutex`-guarded `consumed` bool; the second call returns
+  `ErrDisabled` (HTTP 410), not `ErrInvalidToken` (HTTP 401), so
+  a probing attacker cannot distinguish "wrong token, retry"
+  from "already consumed".
+- The strategy also re-probes admin existence on every Validate.
+  If an admin actor lands during the gap between Available and
+  Validate, the second caller still gets HTTP 410.
+- The minted plaintext key is written to the response body once.
+  It is NEVER logged. The token-leak hygiene test in
+  `internal/api/handler/auth_bootstrap_test.go` redirects
+  `slog.Default` to a buffer and grep-asserts that neither the
+  bootstrap token nor the minted key appears in any log line,
+  audit row, or HTTP header.
+- The minted key is hashed before persistence. Lost key →
+  rotate via the regular RBAC API; the plaintext is not
+  recoverable from the DB.
+
+### Approval workflow + flip-flop loophole closure
+
+- `CertificateProfile.RequiresApproval=true` gates two surfaces:
+  (a) issuance + renewal of every cert pointing at the profile,
+  (b) edits to the profile itself. The flip-flop loophole closure
+  closure prevents the flip-flop bypass where an admin disables
+  approval, mutates, re-enables.
+- Same-actor self-approve is rejected at the service layer with
+  `ErrApproveBySameActor` for both `cert_issuance` and
+  `profile_edit` kinds. Two-person integrity is the load-bearing
+  invariant; pinned by tests in
+  `internal/service/approval_test.go`.
+
+### Audit trail
+
+- Every mutating operation flows through `AuditService.RecordEvent`
+  or `RecordEventWithCategory`. The audit-category extension added the
+  `event_category` column with a `CHECK` constraint enforcing
+  the closed enum (`cert_lifecycle` / `auth` / `config`); the
+  category surfaces the auth-mutation slice to the auditor view.
+- The WORM trigger from migration 000018
+  (`audit_events_worm_trigger`) blocks `UPDATE` and `DELETE` at
+  the database layer. Even an admin DB user cannot tamper with
+  audit history without dropping the trigger.
+- The audit redactor (`internal/service/audit_redact.go`)
+  scrubs credentials + PII from the `details` JSONB before
+  persistence; an `_redacted_keys` field surfaces what the
+  redactor took out for compliance review.
+
+### Protocol-endpoint allowlist
+
+ACME / SCEP / EST / OCSP / CRL endpoints authenticate via
+embedded credentials defined by their own RFCs (JWS-signed,
+challenge passwords, mTLS, public-by-RFC). The auth middleware
+explicitly bypasses these via `IsProtocolEndpoint`. The
+`internal/api/router/phase12_protocol_allowlist_test.go` regression
+test pins the invariant at three layers (middleware bypass, allowlist
+constant, router-level no-rbacGate-wraps-protocol-paths).
+
+## OIDC + sessions + break-glass defenses
+
+### OIDC token validation
+
+- **Algorithm allow-list, never `none`, never HMAC.** The service-
+  layer pinning lives in `internal/auth/oidc/service.go::disallowedAlgs`
+  + `isDisallowedAlg`. The per-token alg check at sig-verify time
+  (`isDisallowedAlg`, line ~1177) is the load-bearing defense — every
+  ID token whose JWS header carries an alg outside the allow-list
+  (RS256 / RS512 / ES256 / ES384 / EdDSA) is rejected with
+  `ErrAlgRejected`. coreos/go-oidc additionally enforces the allow-list
+  per-token at verify time as defense-in-depth against an upstream
+  library regression. The IdP-downgrade-attack secondary defense at
+  provider creation / `RefreshKeys` (v2.1.0-relaxed semantics)
+  intersects the IdP's advertised `id_token_signing_alg_values_supported`
+  with the allow-list and rejects only when the intersection is EMPTY
+  — i.e., the IdP advertises NO acceptable alg. Pre-v2.1.0 the check
+  strict-denied on ANY HS*/`none` advertisement; that broke against
+  Keycloak 26.x (which lists every alg it's capable of in its discovery
+  doc, including HS*, even when the realm only signs with RS256). The
+  relaxation is safe because the per-token alg pin already prevents
+  a real algorithm-confusion attack — a forged HS256 token using the
+  IdP's RS256 pubkey as HMAC secret is rejected at sig-verify regardless
+  of what the discovery doc advertises. Operators worried about a
+  compromised IdP rotating to weak algs without rotating its certctl
+  provider config get defense-in-depth from `JWKSStatus` + the alert
+  hooks in the GUI panel.
+- **Exact `iss` match.** ID-token `iss` claim must equal the
+  configured `OIDCProvider.IssuerURL` byte-for-byte (sentinel
+  `ErrIssuerMismatch`). A token from a different IdP - even one
+  with the same `aud` - cannot ride a misconfigured provider row.
+- **`aud` + `azp` checks.** Service-layer re-verification of the
+  audience claim (must include `client_id`) plus the `azp` claim
+  for multi-aud tokens (per OIDC core §3.1.3.7 step 5; sentinels
+  `ErrAudienceMismatch`, `ErrAZPRequired`, `ErrAZPMismatch`). An
+  attacker with a token issued for a different client cannot replay
+  it against certctl.
+- **`at_hash` REQUIRED when access_token is present.** OIDC core
+  treats `at_hash` as a "MAY"; certctl tightens to "MUST"
+  (`ErrATHashRequired`). A substituted access token cannot ride
+  alongside a clean ID token through the verifier.
+- **Single-use state + nonce.** Both 32-byte random server-generated
+  values, persisted in the pre-login row keyed by the cookie. The
+  pre-login row is consumed via `DELETE...RETURNING` on lookup
+  (atomic single-use). `subtle.ConstantTimeCompare` on both. State
+  replay returns `ErrPreLoginNotFound`; nonce mismatch returns
+  `ErrNonceMismatch`.
+- **PKCE-S256 mandatory.** RFC 9700 §2.1.1 requires PKCE on auth-
+  code; certctl hard-codes S256 via `oauth2.GenerateVerifier` +
+  `oauth2.S256ChallengeOption`. The `plain` method is not just
+  unsupported - the `ErrPKCEPlainRejected` sentinel exists so a
+  future regression that surfaces a plain path trips a test.
+- **`iat` window.** Configurable per-provider (default 300s, capped
+  at 600s by the domain validator). Defends against clock-skew
+  attacks where an attacker submits a stale-but-valid token.
+- **JWKS rotation handled transparently** by coreos/go-oidc's built-
+  in cache, plus the operator-triggered `Service.RefreshKeys` for
+  forced refresh (and the auto-refresh on JWKS-cache TTL expiry,
+  default 3600s).
+- **JWKS-fetch failure during a key rotation: fail closed.** The
+  service maps go-oidc's network errors to `ErrJWKSUnreachable`
+  (HTTP 503 to the in-flight login). Existing sessions are
+  untouched. No exponential backoff, no auto-retry; the operator
+  triages.
+- **Encrypted `client_secret` at rest.** AES-256-GCM via
+  `internal/crypto.EncryptIfKeySet` (the same v3-blob path issuer
+  + target credentials use). The `client_secret_encrypted` column
+  is `json:"-"` on the domain type so a misconfigured handler
+  cannot wire-leak.
+
+### Session minting + cookies
+
+- **Length-prefixed HMAC.** Cookie wire format is
+  `v1.<session_id>.<signing_key_id>.<base64url-no-pad(HMAC-SHA256)>`.
+  HMAC input is **length-prefixed** as `len(sid):sid:len(kid):kid`
+  - NOT bare-concat. The bare-concat form admits a collision
+  attack: `<a, bc>` and `<ab, c>` produce identical HMAC inputs,
+  letting a forger swap one byte across the boundary. Pinned by
+  `TestComputeHMAC_LengthPrefixDefeatsConcatCollision` +
+  `TestService_Validate_ConcatenationCollisionDefeatedByLengthPrefix`.
+  The `v1.` version prefix is reserved; unknown prefixes are
+  rejected with no fallback.
+- **Cookie hardening.** `HttpOnly=true` (no JS access; defends XSS
+  cookie theft), `Secure=true` (HTTPS-only; defends network MITM
+  given HTTPS-Everywhere v2.2 milestone), `SameSite=Lax` default
+  (configurable to Strict via `CERTCTL_SESSION_SAMESITE`), `Path=/`,
+  no domain attribute (host-only).
+- **Idle + absolute timeouts.** 1h idle / 8h absolute defaults
+  (configurable via `CERTCTL_SESSION_IDLE_TIMEOUT` /
+  `_ABSOLUTE_TIMEOUT`). The session row tracks `last_seen_at`,
+  `idle_expires_at`, `absolute_expires_at` independently; the
+  scheduler's `sessionGCLoop` (default 1h) sweeps expired rows.
+- **CSRF defense.** Plaintext CSRF token in the JS-readable
+  `certctl_csrf` cookie (intentionally `HttpOnly=false` so the GUI
+  reads it for the `X-CSRF-Token` header). SHA-256 hash on the
+  session row. `CSRFMiddleware` on state-changing methods uses
+  `subtle.ConstantTimeCompare` against the hash. API-key actors
+  (no session row) are CSRF-exempt - pinned by the bundle-1-compat
+  CI guard.
+- **Optional defense-in-depth IP / UA bind** (default OFF;
+  `CERTCTL_SESSION_BIND_IP` / `_BIND_USER_AGENT`). Mismatch
+  returns `ErrSessionIPMismatch` / `ErrSessionUAMismatch`. Use
+  with care - mobile clients on changing networks fail closed.
+- **Signing-key rotation primitive.** `RotateSigningKey` mints a
+  new HMAC key; the old key stays valid for the configured
+  retention window (default 24h via
+  `CERTCTL_SESSION_SIGNING_KEY_RETENTION`) so existing cookies
+  validate during the rollover. Past retention, the old key's row
+  is dropped and any cookie still signed under it returns
+  `ErrSigningKeyNotFound`.
+- **EnsureInitialSigningKey is fail-fatal at server boot.** Wired
+  in `cmd/server/main.go` via `logger.Error + os.Exit(1)` so a
+  server with a broken DB or RNG cannot boot into a state where
+  session validation is impossible.
+- **Pre-login cookie discriminated from post-login.** Pre-login
+  carries the `pl-` id prefix; post-login carries `ses-`. Defense-
+  in-depth: `Validate` rejects pre-login cookies (pinned by
+  `TestService_Validate_RejectsPreLoginCookieAtPostLoginGate`) so a
+  stolen pre-login cookie cannot be replayed against the post-login
+  gate.
+
+### Back-channel logout
+
+- **OpenID Connect Back-Channel Logout 1.0** (NOT RFC 8414).
+  Endpoint: `POST /auth/oidc/back-channel-logout`. The IdP signs a
+  logout JWT and POSTs it to certctl when a user logs out at the
+  IdP. The handler validates the JWT against the IdP's JWKS via
+  the same alg allow-list as the login flow.
+- **Required claims pinned.** `iss` / `aud` / `iat` / `jti` /
+  `events` (with the spec-mandated logout event type); exactly
+  one of `sub` / `sid`; `nonce` MUST be absent (per spec §2.4
+  - logout tokens MUST NOT carry a nonce). All four pinned by
+  the back-channel-logout negative-test matrix.
+- **`jti`-based replay defense.** The handler
+  tracks recently-seen `jti` values to defeat logout-token replay
+  attacks where an attacker captures a logout JWT and replays it.
+- **Cache-Control: no-store** on the response per spec §2.5.
+
+### OIDC first-admin bootstrap
+
+- **Coexists with the env-var-token bootstrap path.** Both can be
+  configured; the admin-existence probe ensures only one wins.
+- **Group-scoped.** `CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_GROUPS` is a comma-
+  separated allowlist of IdP group names; users in any one of those
+  groups become admins on FIRST login per tenant. Non-empty
+  intersection with the user's resolved groups is required.
+- **One-shot per tenant via admin-existence probe.** Once any actor
+  holds `r-admin` in the tenant, the bootstrap hook silently falls
+  through to normal mapping (no admin grant). Operators rely on
+  this to avoid an "always-admin-on-login" backdoor.
+- **Explicit OIDC provider gate.** `CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_OIDC_PROVIDER_ID`
+  pins which provider's tokens are eligible. A multi-IdP deploy
+  cannot have any provider's group claims become admin.
+- **Audit row on every grant.** `bootstrap.oidc_first_admin` event
+  with `event_category=auth` + INFO log; the auditor monitors.
+
+### Break-glass admin
+
+- **Default-OFF.** `CERTCTL_BREAKGLASS_ENABLED=false` is the default;
+  the entire surface (4 endpoints) is disabled. Operators flip it
+  on during SSO incidents and back off after recovery.
+- **Surface invisibility via 404-not-403.** Every endpoint returns
+  HTTP 404 when disabled - public login AND admin endpoints. A
+  scanner cannot distinguish "endpoint disabled" from "endpoint
+  doesn't exist." All five service-layer methods short-circuit with
+  `ErrDisabled` before any DB lookup; the handler maps to
+  `http.NotFound`.
+- **Argon2id with OWASP 2024 params.** `m=64MiB`, `t=3`, `p=4`,
+  16-byte salt, 32-byte output, per-password random salt, PHC-format
+  hash. The hash column is `json:"-"` so handlers cannot wire-leak.
+- **Lockout state machine.** `CERTCTL_BREAKGLASS_LOCKOUT_THRESHOLD`
+  (default 5) failures within
+  `CERTCTL_BREAKGLASS_LOCKOUT_RESET_INTERVAL` (default 1h) trip a
+  `CERTCTL_BREAKGLASS_LOCKOUT_DURATION` lock (default 30s; bumped
+  from 100ms after the test discovered Argon2id verify itself takes
+  ~80-200ms each, making a millisecond-scale lockout invisible).
+  Atomic single-statement `IncrementFailure` defeats concurrent
+  racing attempts. Idempotent `ResetFailureCount`.
+- **Constant-time across all failure paths.** `verifyDummy()` runs a
+  real Argon2id pass against an all-zeros throwaway salt on the
+  no-credential and locked-account paths so all three failure modes
+  (wrong password / locked / no actor) take statistically
+  indistinguishable time. Pinned by
+  `TestPhase7_5_ConstantTimeAcrossWrongPasswordAndNoCredentialPaths`
+  (asserts within 5x ratio on durations).
+- **Audit row + WARN log at boot.** `auth.breakglass_login_*`
+  events with `event_category=auth`. `cmd/server/main.go` emits a
+  WARN-level log when `ENABLED=true` so the operator's log review
+  notices an over-long enablement.
+- **Rate limit on the public login endpoint.** 5 attempts/minute
+  via the existing `middleware.NewRateLimiter`.
+
+## OIDC + sessions threat catalogue
+
+The following sub-sections enumerate the threat surface introduced by
+the OIDC + sessions surface and the mitigations the platform ships. They are deliberately
+exhaustive - if a threat is listed here it has a concrete mitigation
+or a documented "operator-driven, out of scope" framing. New threats
+discovered post-2026-05-10 should be added here with a dated commit
+note.
+
+### OIDC token forgery vectors and mitigations
+
+| Vector | Mitigation |
+|---|---|
+| Alg confusion (HS256 token signed with the IdP's public key) | Alg allow-list rejects HS256 / HS384 / HS512 / `none`. Service-layer + go-oidc enforce in two layers. IdP-downgrade-attack defense at provider-creation time. |
+| Audience injection (token issued for a different client) | Service-layer `aud` re-check post-go-oidc verify; multi-aud tokens require matching `azp`. Sentinels `ErrAudienceMismatch` / `ErrAZPRequired` / `ErrAZPMismatch`. |
+| Issuer mismatch (token from a different IdP with the same alg + key shape) | Exact `iss` string match (`ErrIssuerMismatch`). The 21-case OIDC negative-test matrix pins the byte-for-byte requirement. |
+| Nonce replay (capturing a fresh token + replaying with the same nonce) | Single-use nonce stored in the pre-login row; `LookupAndConsume` is `DELETE...RETURNING` (atomic). Second use returns `ErrPreLoginNotFound`. |
+| State replay (CSRF on the IdP redirect) | Same single-use mechanism as nonce. State is `subtle.ConstantTimeCompare`d. |
+| `at_hash` substitution (clean ID token with a swapped access token) | `at_hash` REQUIRED when access_token present (certctl tightens OIDC core's MAY → MUST). `ErrATHashRequired` if missing; `ErrATHashMismatch` if non-matching. |
+| `iat` window manipulation (stale token replay) | `iat_window_seconds` configurable per-provider (default 300, cap 600). Future `iat` returns `ErrIATInFuture`; older-than-window returns `ErrIATTooOld`. |
+| JWKS rotation mid-login | coreos/go-oidc's built-in cache + auto-refresh on TTL expiry. Operator-triggered `Service.RefreshKeys` for forced refresh. |
+| JWKS-fetch failure during a key rotation | `ErrJWKSUnreachable` (HTTP 503 to in-flight login). Existing sessions untouched. Operator clicks "Refresh discovery cache" once IdP recovers. No exponential backoff. |
+
+### Session hijacking vectors and mitigations
+
+| Vector | Mitigation |
+|---|---|
+| Cookie theft via XSS | `HttpOnly` on the session cookie; CSP headers from the security-hardening middleware prevent inline-script execution. |
+| Cookie theft via network MITM | `Secure` flag + TLS 1.3-only control plane (HTTPS-Everywhere v2.2 milestone). |
+| CSRF on state-changing methods | `SameSite=Lax` default + double-submit-cookie pattern with hashed CSRF token on the session row. CSRFMiddleware fires on POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE for session-authenticated callers; API-key actors are exempt. |
+| Session-cookie forgery via concatenation collision | Length-prefixed HMAC input (`len(sid):sid:len(kid):kid`). Pinned by two tests + a doc-block at the top of `service.go`. |
+| Stolen-cookie replay (attacker uses a valid cookie until expiry) | Short idle timeout (1h default) + admin-revoke-all-for-actor + back-channel logout from IdP + GUI session revocation. |
+| Cross-tab session interference | Cookie value is opaque + length-prefixed; tabs sharing the cookie share the session row. Sign-out in one tab calls `POST /auth/logout`; the next request from any tab gets a missing-row 401. |
+| Session-row race on sign-out vs in-flight request | `Validate` is the single point that reads the row; missing row = 401. There is no "stale read" path because every request re-validates. |
+
+### IdP compromise scenarios
+
+A rogue IdP issues malicious tokens (signs tokens for arbitrary users,
+mints arbitrary groups, etc.). Mitigations are largely out of certctl's
+control - the trust root is the IdP. Documented behaviors:
+
+- **Operator should monitor IdP audit logs.** Federated identity is
+  only as trustworthy as the IdP it federates from. The `iss` claim
+  on every certctl audit row points at the source IdP so the
+  operator can correlate against IdP-side audit.
+- **Operator can rotate group-role mappings from the GUI without
+  redeploying.** If the IdP is compromised but not yet
+  decommissioned, the operator can dial down access via
+  `Auth → OIDC Providers → <provider> → Group → role mappings`
+  and remove every mapping. Subsequent logins fail closed
+  (`ErrGroupsUnmapped`); existing sessions continue until expiry.
+- **The audit trail records every OIDC login including the source
+  provider.** Blast radius is bounded by the `group_role_mapping`
+  table for that provider. A compromised provider configured with
+  only `engineers → r-operator` cannot escalate to `r-admin` via
+  any token forgery.
+- **The provider-delete path returns 409 when sessions exist for it.**
+  `ErrOIDCProviderInUse` forces the operator to revoke the
+  provider's active sessions before deletion - prevents accidental
+  loss of audit lineage on a hot incident.
+
+### Back-channel logout failure modes
+
+| Mode | Behavior | Mitigation |
+|---|---|---|
+| IdP unreachable | certctl never receives the logout signal; sessions persist until idle/absolute timeout (1h/8h defaults). | Operator keeps absolute timeout short relative to risk tolerance. Manual revoke via GUI is always available. |
+| Logout token signature invalid | certctl returns 400; no session revoked; `auth.oidc_back_channel_logout_failed` audit row. | Operator-monitored audit row surfaces forged-logout-token attempts. |
+| Logout token replay (attacker captures + replays a valid logout JWT) | `jti`-based deduplication rejects the replay; first delivery succeeds, second returns 400. | Pinned by back-channel-logout negative tests. |
+| Logout token alg confusion | Same alg allow-list as the login flow; HS-family rejected. | The OIDC alg allow-list applies to BCL too (same `Provider.RemoteKeySet`). |
+| Missing `events` claim | Spec §2.4 requires the OIDC-defined logout event type; missing returns 400. | Pinned by negative test. |
+| `nonce` claim present | Spec §2.4 requires `nonce` MUST NOT appear in logout tokens; presence returns 400. | Pinned by negative test. |
+
+### Group-claim manipulation
+
+Per-IdP group-claim shapes are documented in
+[`oidc-runbooks/index.md`](oidc-runbooks/index.md). Manipulation
+threats:
+
+| Vector | Mitigation |
+|---|---|
+| Operator misconfigures mapping (e.g. `engineers → r-admin` instead of `r-operator`) | `auth.group_mapping_added` / `_removed` audit row with `event_category=auth`. The auditor role monitors. |
+| Operator misconfigures `groups_claim_path` (e.g. `groups` when Auth0 emits `https://your-namespace/groups`) | User's group claim is ignored, user lands at "no roles assigned" screen. The GUI's OIDC provider detail page surfaces the configured path so the operator can verify. |
+| IdP renames a group (e.g. `engineers → eng-team`) | Mappings silently break; users get fewer roles than expected. `auth.oidc_login_unmapped_groups` audit row fires on every such login; auditor monitors for unexpected spikes. |
+| IdP user maintainer adds a user to an unintended group | Group is mapped to a higher-privilege role than intended; user gets the role on next login. Bounded blast radius: the group→role mapping is what they got, not arbitrary admin. Defense-in-depth: review mappings periodically; the auditor role can pull `auth.oidc_login_succeeded` rows by `details.subject` to spot drift. |
+
+### Bootstrap phase risks
+
+This section extends the day-0 bootstrap section with the OIDC
+first-admin path.
+
+| Vector | Mitigation |
+|---|---|
+| `CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN` (env-var fallback path) leaks | One-shot via `consumed` bool + admin-existence probe. Both arms close the path the moment any admin lands. |
+| `CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_GROUPS` misconfigured to a wide group (e.g. `everyone`) | Unintended user becomes admin on first OIDC login. Mitigation: scope-down via `certctl-cli auth keys scope-down --suggest`. Operators configure narrow groups. The audit row on `bootstrap.oidc_first_admin` surfaces every grant. |
+| Both bootstrap strategies enabled simultaneously | Whichever fires first wins; the second sees admin-already-exists and falls through to normal mapping. No double-admin landing. |
+| `CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_OIDC_PROVIDER_ID` left unset with multi-IdP deploy | Hook fires on ANY provider's tokens. Mitigation: explicit gate documented in `cmd/server/main.go` startup logging; operator audit reviewed pre-tag. |
+
+### Break-glass risks
+
+| Vector | Mitigation |
+|---|---|
+| Phished password (operator gives password to attacker) | Bypasses OIDC + every group-claim gate. Mitigation: default-OFF posture; lockout after 5 failures; WebAuthn pairing (v3 / Decision 12) closes the gap properly. |
+| Brute-force online | Lockout state machine + 5/min rate limit on `/auth/breakglass/login`. |
+| Brute-force offline (DB compromise) | Argon2id with OWASP 2024 params (~80-200ms per verify). Cracking remains expensive even with GPU. |
+| Operator forgets to disable post-incident | Break-glass becomes a permanent backdoor. Mitigation: WARN log at boot when ENABLED=true; audit row on every break-glass login; runbook prescribes "disable within 24h of SSO recovery." |
+| Side-channel timing on no-credential vs wrong-password vs locked | All three paths take statistically indistinguishable time via `verifyDummy()`. Pinned by the timing-statistical test. |
+| Surface fingerprinting (scanner identifies break-glass exists) | All four endpoints return 404 (NOT 403) when disabled. Surface-invisibility - identical to a non-existent route. |
+| Reserved-actor `actor-demo-anon` mutation via break-glass admin | Service layer rejects with `ErrAuthReservedActor` (HTTP 409). Same gate as the RBAC path. |
+
+### Token-leak hygiene (the explicit grep policy)
+
+ID tokens, access tokens, refresh tokens, authorization codes, PKCE
+verifiers, state, nonce, signing keys, break-glass passwords MUST
+NEVER appear in any log line at any level.
+
+The invariant is enforced by per-package `logging_test.go` files that
+redirect `slog.Default` to a buffer, run the service paths, and
+grep-assert the secret values are absent from every captured line.
+The pattern is `internal/auth/bootstrap/service_test.go`; the OIDC,
+session, and break-glass packages follow the same shape:
+
+- `internal/auth/oidc/logging_test.go` - token / code / verifier /
+  state / nonce / cookie / client_secret / alg name absent from
+  HandleAuthRequest, HandleCallback, alg-rejection, and provider-
+  load paths.
+- `internal/auth/session/service_test.go` - signing-key bytes absent
+  from cookie-mint + validate paths.
+- `internal/auth/breakglass/service_test.go` - plaintext password +
+  Argon2id hash absent from every audit row + log line +
+  HTTP-response shape (json:"-" probe via `json.Marshal`).
+
+The `details` JSONB column on `audit_events` runs through the
+audit redactor (`internal/service/audit_redact.go`) before
+persistence; the redactor's allow-list is conservative enough that
+adding a new token-shaped field to a new audit row defaults to
+redacted, not leaked.
+
+## Closed federated-identity threats
+
+Each item below was an open threat under the earlier API-key-only
+deployment posture. Status reflects current closure as of v2.1.0.
+
+1. **OIDC federation** - ✅ closed. SAML and WebAuthn remain on the
+   future-work list (Decision 12 — WebAuthn pairs with break-glass
+   for hardware-token MFA). The break-glass path is a partial
+   mitigation for the no-MFA case during SSO incidents.
+2. **Session management** - ✅ closed. HMAC-signed
+   `__Host-certctl_session` cookie with length-prefixed wire format,
+   1h idle / 8h absolute expiry, scheduler-driven GC, server-side
+   revocation list (delete the row), GUI's "Sessions" page surfaces
+   own + all-actor revocation, back-channel logout from the IdP.
+3. **Local password accounts (break-glass)** - ✅ closed. Argon2id
+   + lockout + default-OFF + 404-not-403 surface invisibility. NOT
+   for general human auth - only the "SSO is broken, need admin
+   access right now" path. WebAuthn pairing on the future-work list.
+4. **OIDC first-admin bootstrap** - ✅ closed.
+   `CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_GROUPS` +
+   `CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_OIDC_PROVIDER_ID` env vars + group-scoped +
+   admin-existence-probe.
+5. **Rate limiting on the bootstrap endpoint** - acceptable
+   (one-shot by construction; per-IP rate limiting on the broader
+   API is in place via `middleware.NewRateLimiter`). The break-glass
+   `/auth/breakglass/login` endpoint carries the same rate-limit
+   primitive at 5/min.
+
+## Future-work threats
+
+The following are not yet closed:
+
+1. **WebAuthn / FIDO2 second factor** - operator console is OIDC
+   (or break-glass password) only. No hardware-token requirement
+   even on the admin path. Decision 12.
+2. **Time-bound role grants / JIT elevation** - the
+   `actor_roles.expires_at` column exists, no UI/API yet.
+3. **SAML federation** - OIDC only. Operators on SAML-only IdPs use
+   the broker pattern (run Keycloak as a SAML-to-OIDC bridge); see
+   the Google Workspace runbook for the same broker shape.
+4. **Multi-tenant data isolation activation** - the schema and
+   repository layer carry tenant_id columns + a query-coverage CI
+   guard, but tenant ACLs are not enforced. v2.1.0 ships
+   single-tenant only (`t-default` seeded). The managed-service
+   hosting work (operator decision item) is where multi-tenant
+   flips on.
+5. **HSM / FIPS-validated signing key for sessions** - the session
+   signing key is software-only (HMAC-SHA256, in-memory key
+   material, encrypted at rest via `internal/crypto`). Operators
+   in FIPS 140-3 environments need to supply their own
+   `Signer` implementation; the abstraction at
+   `internal/crypto/signer/` accommodates this but no PKCS#11
+   driver ships yet.
+6. **OIDC RP-initiated logout** (the "/end_session_endpoint" flow
+   where certctl signs a logout token + redirects the browser to
+   the IdP). v2.1.0 implements ONLY the back-channel flow (IdP →
+   certctl). Operators wanting the full bidirectional logout pair
+   wait on a follow-on release.
+7. **GUI E2E via Playwright** - tracked alongside #9 above.
+8. **Per-IdP runbook external-tester sign-off** - encouraged via
+   the operator-sign-off footers in `oidc-runbooks/*.md` but NOT a
+   merge gate (operator decision 2026-05-10; the earlier
+   "≥ 2 external testers" requirement was retired).
+
+## Compliance mapping
+
+The control set in this document supports the following
+framework requirements. This is a mapping; it is not a claim of
+formal certification.
+
+- **SOC 2 CC6.1** (logical access controls) - RBAC primitive
+  with role-based gating on every mutating endpoint.
+- **SOC 2 CC6.3** (privileged access management) - `r-admin`
+  role separation + role-grant audit trail with two-person
+  integrity on approval-tier profile edits.
+- **HIPAA §164.312(b)** (audit controls) - `event_category`
+  column lets the auditor role review authentication / authorization
+  changes specifically. WORM trigger keeps the audit table
+  append-only at the database layer.
+- **NIST SSDF PO.5.2** (separation of duties) - two-person
+  integrity for compliance-tier issuance via the
+  `RequiresApproval` flow + the approval-bypass closure on
+  profile edits.
+- **FedRAMP AU-9** (audit information protection) - WORM
+  enforcement + auditor-only read access (the auditor role
+  cannot mutate, the WORM trigger blocks UPDATE/DELETE).
+- **PCI-DSS §10** (audit logging) - every mutating operation
+  emits an audit row with actor + action + resource + timestamp +
+  category. The audit table is append-only.
+
+## Operator-facing checks
+
+Run these periodically to verify the controls are working.
+
+1. `certctl-cli auth keys list` - confirm no unexpected actor
+   holds `r-admin`. Audit any new admin grants against the audit
+   log.
+2. `SELECT actor, action, COUNT(*) FROM audit_events WHERE
+   action LIKE 'approval_%' AND timestamp > NOW() - INTERVAL '7
+   days' GROUP BY actor, action;` - confirm approvals are
+   happening and not concentrated in a single approver.
+3. `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audit_events WHERE actor =
+   'system-bypass';` - MUST return 0 in production. A non-zero
+   count means `CERTCTL_APPROVAL_BYPASS=true` was set; production
+   deploys MUST leave it unset.
+4. `SELECT actor, COUNT(*) FROM audit_events WHERE action =
+   'bootstrap.consume';` - MUST return at most one row per
+   tenant. Multiple rows means the bootstrap endpoint was called
+   more than once, which the strategy's one-shot guard should
+   have prevented; investigate.
+5. `certctl-cli auth me` while authenticated as the auditor
+   key - `effective_permissions` must contain `audit.read` +
+   `audit.export` ONLY. Any other permission means a role grant
+   widened the auditor's surface; revoke immediately.
+
+The following checks were added with v2.1.0's federated-identity surface:
+
+6. `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM oidc_providers;` - confirm only the
+   expected providers are configured. An unexpected row is a
+   compromise indicator. Cross-check with the
+   `auth.oidc_provider_created` audit row to find when + by whom.
+7. `SELECT actor_id, COUNT(*) FROM sessions WHERE NOT revoked AND
+   absolute_expires_at > NOW() GROUP BY actor_id ORDER BY 2 DESC;`
+   - confirm no actor has an unexpectedly large session count.
+   Multi-session-per-actor is normal (laptop + phone), but a single
+   actor with 50+ active sessions is a compromised-key signal.
+8. `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audit_events WHERE action LIKE
+   'auth.oidc_login_unmapped_groups' AND timestamp > NOW() -
+   INTERVAL '7 days';` - non-zero rows mean users are completing
+   IdP authentication but failing the group-mapping step. Either
+   the IdP renamed a group, or an unauthorized user attempted
+   access. Investigate.
+9. `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audit_events WHERE action LIKE
+   'auth.breakglass_%' AND timestamp > NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days';`
+   - non-zero rows in steady state mean break-glass is being used
+   outside an SSO incident OR was left enabled. Confirm
+   `CERTCTL_BREAKGLASS_ENABLED` is `false` in non-incident windows.
+10. `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM audit_events WHERE action =
+    'bootstrap.oidc_first_admin';` - MUST return at most one row
+    per tenant. Multiple rows means the OIDC bootstrap hook fired
+    more than once per tenant, which the admin-existence probe
+    should have prevented; investigate.
+11. `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM session_signing_keys WHERE retired_at IS
+    NOT NULL AND retired_at < NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days';` - retired
+    keys past the retention window should have been GC'd. Non-zero
+    rows mean the scheduler's `sessionGCLoop` is wedged.

+# Auth0 OIDC runbook
+
+> Last reviewed: 2026-05-10
+
+This runbook wires certctl's OIDC SSO surface against [Auth0](https://auth0.com/), a commercial cloud IdP (now part of Okta but operationally distinct). Auth0 has a free developer tier suitable for evaluation; production runs on a paid B2B / B2C plan.
+
+For the canonical reference + mental model, read [keycloak.md](keycloak.md) first; this runbook only documents the Auth0-specific deltas.
+
+## The big Auth0 quirk: namespaced custom claims
+
+Auth0 imposes a hard rule: any custom claim emitted from an Action MUST use a namespaced URL-shape key (e.g. `https://your-namespace/groups`). Auth0 silently strips claims that look like standard OIDC claims (`groups`, `roles`, `permissions`, etc.) when emitted from an Action — this is a security feature to prevent claim-spoofing.
+
+certctl handles this via the `groups_claim_path` config. If your Action emits `https://your-namespace/groups`, set `OIDCProvider.groups_claim_path` to that exact URL. The hand-rolled groupclaim resolver at `internal/auth/oidc/groupclaim/resolver.go` recognizes URL-shape paths (anything starting with `http://` or `https://`) and treats the entire string as a single literal key — it does NOT split on `/`.
+
+Set `groups_claim_format` to `string-array`; the underlying claim shape is still a JSON array of group-name strings, just stored under a URL-shape key.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+**On the Auth0 side:**
+
+- An Auth0 tenant (free dev tier at <https://auth0.com/signup> works). Tenant URL looks like `https://<tenant-name>.<region>.auth0.com`.
+- Owner or Auth0 Administrator role.
+- Network reachability from certctl-server to `https://<tenant>.auth0.com/.well-known/openid-configuration`.
+
+**On the certctl side:** same as Keycloak.
+
+## IdP-side configuration
+
+### 1. Pick a namespace string
+
+Decide on a unique URL-shape namespace for certctl's custom claims. It does NOT have to resolve to a real domain; Auth0 just requires it to be URL-shape and unique within your tenant. A reasonable choice:
+
+```
+https://certctl.example.com/auth/
+```
+
+Use that prefix for every custom claim; for groups specifically:
+
+```
+https://certctl.example.com/auth/groups
+```
+
+We'll refer to this as `<NS>/groups` in the rest of this runbook.
+
+### 2. Create the Application
+
+In the Auth0 dashboard:
+
+**Applications → Applications → Create Application**:
+
+- Name: `certctl`.
+- Application Type: **Regular Web Applications**.
+- Click **Create**.
+
+On the saved app's **Settings** tab:
+
+- Application Login URI: blank (Auth0 doesn't need it for the auth-code flow).
+- Allowed Callback URLs: `https://<your-certctl-host>:8443/auth/oidc/callback` (one entry, exact match).
+- Allowed Logout URLs: optional.
+- Allowed Web Origins: `https://<your-certctl-host>:8443`.
+- Token Endpoint Authentication Method: **Post** (default; matches the certctl service's expectation of `client_secret_post`).
+- Save Changes.
+
+Copy the **Domain** (this is the issuer base — `https://<tenant>.auth0.com`), **Client ID**, and **Client Secret** from the same Settings page.
+
+### 3. Configure the connection (where users live)
+
+If you're using Auth0's Database connection (default username + password), the existing **Username-Password-Authentication** connection works. For SSO to Google / Microsoft / SAML, configure those connections under **Authentication → Enterprise** or **Authentication → Social** and ensure the connection is enabled on the certctl Application (App → Connections tab).
+
+### 4. Define the groups
+
+Auth0 doesn't have a first-class "Groups" concept like Okta or Keycloak — you have THREE options to model groups, each with tradeoffs:
+
+**Option A: User app_metadata (simplest, recommended for dev tier).**
+
+Each user has a `app_metadata` JSON blob you can set via the Management API, the dashboard, or a post-registration script. Stick the groups in there:
+
+```json
+{
+  "groups": ["certctl-engineers"]
+}
+```
+
+In the Auth0 dashboard, **User Management → Users → <user> → app_metadata**: paste the JSON above and Save.
+
+**Option B: Auth0 Authorization Extension (paid plans, recommended for production).**
+
+Install the Authorization Extension from **Marketplace → Extensions → Authorization**. It adds a first-class "Groups" concept with UI for assignment + nested groups. Read the extension's docs; it emits groups under `<NS>/groups` automatically once enabled.
+
+**Option C: Roles + Permissions (Auth0's RBAC primitive).**
+
+Use **User Management → Roles** to define roles like `certctl-engineer` + `certctl-viewer`. Assign roles to users. Have your Action emit role names as a `groups` claim. This is what Auth0 documents as the canonical pattern; it's slightly heavier than Option A but more discoverable in the dashboard.
+
+This runbook uses **Option A** for clarity; the Action below reads from `app_metadata.groups`.
+
+### 5. Write the Action that emits the groups claim
+
+**Actions → Library → Create Action → Build from scratch**:
+
+- Name: `certctl-emit-groups`.
+- Trigger: **Login / Post Login**.
+- Runtime: Node 18.
+- Click **Create**.
+
+Paste this code:
+
+```javascript
+exports.onExecutePostLogin = async (event, api) => {
+  const namespace = "https://certctl.example.com/auth/";
+  const groups = (event.user.app_metadata && event.user.app_metadata.groups) || [];
+  if (groups.length > 0) {
+    api.idToken.setCustomClaim(namespace + "groups", groups);
+    api.accessToken.setCustomClaim(namespace + "groups", groups);
+  }
+};
+```
+
+Replace `https://certctl.example.com/auth/` with your namespace from step 1. Click **Deploy**.
+
+Then bind the Action to the Login flow:
+
+**Actions → Flows → Login**: drag `certctl-emit-groups` from the Custom tab into the flow, between Start and Complete. Click **Apply**.
+
+### 6. Verify the claim in a test login
+
+Auth0's **Authentication → Authentication Profile → Try It** button or the **Logs → Real-time Logs** page can show you the issued ID token in real time. Decode at jwt.io to confirm `<NS>/groups` is present + populated.
+
+## certctl-side configuration
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST https://<your-certctl-host>:8443/api/v1/auth/oidc/providers \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${CERTCTL_API_KEY}" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "name": "Auth0",
+    "issuer_url": "https://<tenant>.auth0.com/",
+    "client_id": "<paste-from-step-2>",
+    "client_secret": "<paste-from-step-2>",
+    "redirect_uri": "https://certctl.example.com:8443/auth/oidc/callback",
+    "groups_claim_path": "https://certctl.example.com/auth/groups",
+    "groups_claim_format": "string-array",
+    "fetch_userinfo": false,
+    "scopes": ["openid", "profile", "email"],
+    "iat_window_seconds": 300,
+    "jwks_cache_ttl_seconds": 3600
+  }'
+```
+
+Critical:
+
+- `issuer_url` includes the **trailing slash** for Auth0 (`https://<tenant>.auth0.com/`). Auth0's `iss` claim emits with the trailing slash; mismatching trips `ErrIssuerMismatch`.
+- `groups_claim_path` is the **full namespaced URL**, not the bare `groups` key. The certctl resolver treats this as a single literal lookup key against the ID token claims map (no path-walking through `/`).
+
+Add the group→role mappings: `certctl-engineers` → `r-operator`, etc. The mapping table maps the group VALUES (the strings inside the claim's array), not the claim path.
+
+## Verification
+
+End-to-end login + audit + Sessions checks are identical to Keycloak. The audit row's `details.subject` will be Auth0's user_id (e.g. `auth0|abc123…` for database users, `google-oauth2|...` for federated), stable across email changes.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**`ErrGroupsUnmapped` even though I see groups in the ID token at jwt.io.**
+
+Check `groups_claim_path` exactly matches the namespaced key in the token. A common mistake: setting `groups_claim_path` to `groups` (the bare key) when the actual claim key is `https://certctl.example.com/auth/groups` (the namespaced version). The resolver's URL-shape detection is what makes the namespaced path work; if the claim path doesn't start with `http://` or `https://`, the resolver tries to walk it as a dot-separated path and fails.
+
+**The `<NS>/groups` claim is missing from the ID token.**
+
+- Action not bound to the Login flow: revisit step 5's "Apply" step.
+- Action returns early because `event.user.app_metadata.groups` is undefined: confirm the user has the metadata set.
+- Trying to set the claim under a non-namespaced key (e.g. `api.idToken.setCustomClaim("groups", groups)`): Auth0 silently drops it. Always use the namespace prefix.
+
+**Auth0 returns "Service not found" or "Invalid audience".**
+
+This usually means the certctl client wasn't authorized to access the userinfo endpoint or the application's `audience` setting conflicts with the OIDC discovery doc. The certctl service uses the Application's `client_id` as the `audience` claim — confirm Auth0 is emitting tokens with `aud = <client_id>` (decode at jwt.io).
+
+**Login redirects loop between Auth0 and certctl.**
+
+Most often a callback-URL mismatch — Auth0's "Allowed Callback URLs" must contain the EXACT certctl callback URL including port + scheme. Wildcards aren't allowed in production.
+
+**`email_verified` is `false` and certctl rejects the user.**
+
+certctl doesn't currently gate on `email_verified` — the User row stores email regardless. If your operator policy requires verified-only, add an Action that throws on `event.user.email_verified === false`:
+
+```javascript
+if (!event.user.email_verified) {
+  api.access.deny("email-not-verified");
+}
+```
+
+## Validation checklist
+
+Same as [keycloak.md](keycloak.md#validation-checklist) with Auth0-specific values, plus:
+
+- [ ] The `<NS>/groups` claim is present in the ID token (verify via jwt.io decode).
+- [ ] Removing a user's group from `app_metadata.groups` causes the next login to land on "no roles assigned".
+- [ ] The Auth0 dashboard's **Logs → Real-time Logs** shows the certctl callback completing with HTTP 302 to the dashboard.

+# Authentik OIDC runbook
+
+> Last reviewed: 2026-05-10
+
+This runbook wires certctl's OIDC SSO surface against [Authentik](https://goauthentik.io/), a free / open-source IdP that runs on-prem or self-hosted. Authentik shares the canonical "string-array groups claim under the `groups` key" pattern with Keycloak — the differences are in the admin console UX and the explicit "property mapping" abstraction.
+
+For the canonical reference + mental model, read [keycloak.md](keycloak.md) first; this runbook only documents the Authentik-specific deltas.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+**On the Authentik side:**
+
+- Authentik ≥ 2024.10 (stable channel).
+- Admin access to the Authentik admin console at `https://<authentik-host>/if/admin/`.
+- Network reachability from certctl-server to `https://<authentik-host>/application/o/<application-slug>/.well-known/openid-configuration`.
+
+**On the certctl side:** same as Keycloak — `CERTCTL_CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY` set, an admin actor holding `auth.oidc.create` + `auth.oidc.edit`, server build ≥ v2.1.0.
+
+## IdP-side configuration
+
+### 1. Create the OAuth2 / OpenID Provider
+
+In the Authentik admin console:
+
+**Applications → Providers → Create**:
+
+- Type: **OAuth2/OpenID Provider**.
+- Name: `certctl`.
+- Authorization flow: `default-provider-authorization-explicit-consent` (or `default-provider-authorization-implicit-consent` if you don't want a consent screen on every login).
+- Click **Next**.
+
+Protocol settings:
+
+- Client type: **Confidential**.
+- Client ID: leave the auto-generated value OR set to `certctl` for clarity.
+- Client Secret: copy the auto-generated value to a secure scratchpad — you'll paste it into certctl.
+- Redirect URIs/Origins: `https://<your-certctl-host>:8443/auth/oidc/callback` (one entry, exact match).
+- Signing Key: pick an **RSA-2048 or larger** key. Authentik defaults to ECDSA-P256 in newer versions; either is fine — both are in certctl's allow-list.
+- Subject mode: **Based on the User's hashed ID** (default; emits a stable opaque `sub`).
+- Include claims in id_token: **on**.
+- Click **Finish**.
+
+### 2. Create the Application
+
+Applications are how Authentik attaches a Provider to users + groups + policies.
+
+**Applications → Applications → Create**:
+
+- Name: `certctl`.
+- Slug: `certctl` (becomes part of the issuer URL: `https://<authentik-host>/application/o/certctl/`).
+- Provider: pick the `certctl` provider you just created.
+- Policy engine mode: **any** (default).
+- Click **Create**.
+
+### 3. Configure the groups property mapping
+
+Authentik emits group claims via "property mappings" — explicit objects rather than Keycloak's mapper-on-the-client model.
+
+By default, the **Authentik default-OAuth Mapping: Proxy outpost** scope already includes the user's groups under a `groups` claim (string-array, matches what certctl expects). To verify or override:
+
+**Customization → Property Mappings → Filter "Scope Mapping"**:
+
+- Find or create one named `groups` with scope `groups` and expression:
+  ```python
+  return [group.name for group in user.ak_groups.all()]
+  ```
+- Description: `Emits the user's group names as a string-array claim`.
+
+Then on the **Provider → certctl → Edit → Advanced protocol settings**, ensure **Scopes** includes `groups` (and `profile` and `email` if you want richer User records on the certctl side).
+
+### 4. Create the groups + assign users
+
+**Directory → Groups → Create**:
+
+- Name: `certctl-engineers`. Repeat for `certctl-viewers` (and optionally `certctl-admins`).
+
+**Directory → Users → <user> → Edit → Groups**: pick the appropriate `certctl-*` group(s) for each user.
+
+### 5. (Optional) Bind the application to specific groups
+
+If you want certctl to reject login attempts from users outside the `certctl-*` groups at the IdP layer (defense-in-depth on top of certctl's fail-closed `ErrGroupsUnmapped`):
+
+**Applications → certctl → Policy / Group / User Bindings → Create binding**:
+
+- Type: **Group**.
+- Group: pick the union of `certctl-*` groups you want to allow.
+- Enabled: on.
+
+## certctl-side configuration
+
+Identical to Keycloak — only the issuer URL differs:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST https://<your-certctl-host>:8443/api/v1/auth/oidc/providers \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${CERTCTL_API_KEY}" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "name": "Authentik",
+    "issuer_url": "https://authentik.example.com/application/o/certctl/",
+    "client_id": "<paste-the-client-id>",
+    "client_secret": "<paste-the-client-secret>",
+    "redirect_uri": "https://certctl.example.com:8443/auth/oidc/callback",
+    "groups_claim_path": "groups",
+    "groups_claim_format": "string-array",
+    "fetch_userinfo": false,
+    "scopes": ["openid", "profile", "email", "groups"],
+    "iat_window_seconds": 300,
+    "jwks_cache_ttl_seconds": 3600
+  }'
+```
+
+Authentik emits `groups` in the ID token by default once the property mapping is configured. The `scopes` array MUST include `groups` to trigger the claim emission — Authentik is stricter than Keycloak about scope-gating claims.
+
+Add the group→role mappings the same way as Keycloak: `certctl-engineers` → `r-operator`, `certctl-viewers` → `r-viewer`.
+
+## Verification
+
+End-to-end login + audit + Sessions checks are identical to Keycloak.
+
+**Authentik-specific check:** the audit row's `details.subject` will be Authentik's hashed user ID (a 64-char hex), not the username. This is intentional and correct — the `sub` claim must be opaque + stable across user-attribute changes.
+
+**JWKS-rotation drill:** Authentik rotates signing keys via **System → Tokens & App Passwords → Certificates** (rename of "Crypto" in newer versions). Add a new RSA-2048 cert, switch the Provider's Signing Key to the new one, then click "Refresh discovery cache" in certctl's GUI to evict the cache.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Provider creation fails with "could not load discovery document".**
+The issuer URL needs the trailing slash for some Authentik versions: `https://authentik.example.com/application/o/certctl/` (slash after the slug). Without the slash, Authentik returns a 301 redirect that Go's HTTP client follows but discovery parsing chokes on the redirect target.
+
+**Login completes but user lands on "no roles assigned".**
+Decode the ID token at jwt.io against Authentik's JWKS. Check whether the `groups` claim is present + non-empty. If empty, the property mapping isn't wired — go back to step 3.
+
+**`groups` claim missing entirely.**
+Authentik gates the `groups` claim behind the `groups` scope. Verify:
+- The certctl OIDCProvider config has `"scopes": ["openid", "profile", "email", "groups"]`.
+- The Authentik provider's "Scopes" list includes `groups`.
+
+**Authentik emits the user's full DN as the `sub` claim.**
+Some Authentik configurations use **Subject mode: Based on the User's email** which surfaces the email as `sub`. This works but tightly couples certctl's User table to email mutability; recommend switching to "hashed ID" mode for new deployments. Existing User rows in certctl's `users` table will have email-shaped `oidc_subject` columns; that's fine and stable as long as the user's email never changes.
+
+## Validation checklist
+
+Same as [keycloak.md](keycloak.md#validation-checklist), with Authentik-specific values for issuer URL + group names + signing-key rotation steps.

+# Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) OIDC runbook
+
+> Last reviewed: 2026-05-10
+
+This runbook wires certctl's OIDC SSO surface against [Microsoft Entra ID](https://learn.microsoft.com/entra/), formerly Azure AD. Entra ID is Microsoft's commercial cloud IdP; it's the default IdP for any organization on Microsoft 365 / Azure.
+
+For the canonical reference + mental model, read [keycloak.md](keycloak.md) first; this runbook only documents the Entra-ID-specific deltas.
+
+## The big Entra ID quirk: groups claim emits OBJECT IDs, not names
+
+Entra ID's `groups` claim emits a JSON array of **group object IDs (GUIDs)**, not human-readable names. A user in `Engineering Group` and `Cert Operators` will see something like:
+
+```json
+{
+  "groups": [
+    "8b9b1faa-4e83-471e-8b00-7d99c3e2a5f1",
+    "f00cf1e2-2db1-4cdf-a1ba-1234567890ab"
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**You must configure your certctl group→role mappings against these GUIDs**, not against `Engineering Group` or `Cert Operators`. There are workarounds (cloud-only group display names + the optional claims path; see the alternative below) but the GUID-based approach is the only one that works reliably across all Entra ID configurations.
+
+This is by design at Microsoft — group names are mutable and not globally unique within a tenant; object IDs are immutable and globally unique. Operators on Microsoft 365 / Azure deployments are accustomed to managing access by GUID.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+**On the Entra ID side:**
+
+- A Microsoft 365 tenant or standalone Azure AD tenant. Free Azure AD tier is sufficient; paid tiers (P1/P2) unlock conditional access + SCIM provisioning + risk-based auth, none of which are required for the basic OIDC integration.
+- Application Administrator or Global Administrator role.
+- Network reachability from certctl-server to `https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant-id>/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration`.
+
+**On the certctl side:** same as Keycloak.
+
+## IdP-side configuration
+
+### 1. Register the application
+
+In the [Entra ID admin center](https://entra.microsoft.com/):
+
+**Applications → App registrations → New registration**:
+
+- Name: `certctl`.
+- Supported account types: **Accounts in this organizational directory only** (single-tenant; matches the typical operator use case).
+- Redirect URI: **Web** + `https://<your-certctl-host>:8443/auth/oidc/callback`.
+- Click **Register**.
+
+On the saved app's **Overview** page, copy:
+
+- **Application (client) ID** → certctl's `client_id`.
+- **Directory (tenant) ID** → goes into the issuer URL.
+
+### 2. Create a client secret
+
+**App → Certificates & secrets → Client secrets → New client secret**:
+
+- Description: `certctl-server`.
+- Expires: 6 months / 12 months / 24 months — your choice. Set a calendar reminder; Entra ID does NOT auto-rotate secrets.
+- Click **Add**.
+
+Copy the **Value** column immediately — it's shown ONCE on creation. The certctl provider's `client_secret` field gets this value.
+
+(Production hardening: prefer **Certificates** over secrets for client authentication; certctl currently supports `client_secret_post` only, but a follow-on bundle can add `private_key_jwt` for cert-based client auth. Track this if you have a hard requirement against shared secrets.)
+
+### 3. Add the `groups` claim to the token
+
+**App → Token configuration → Add groups claim**:
+
+- Pick **Security groups** (covers most operators) OR **Groups assigned to the application** (more granular but requires Premium).
+- Token type: **ID token** + **Access token** (both, so userinfo fallback works).
+- Customize emit format for ID/access: leave as **Group ID** (default; this is the GUID-based path the runbook is structured around).
+- Click **Save**.
+
+If you instead want display names in the claim (only works for cloud-only groups; on-prem-synced groups continue to emit GUIDs regardless):
+
+- Customize emit format → **Cloud-only group display names**.
+- BUT — note this works only for groups created in Entra ID itself, not groups synced from on-prem AD. Hybrid environments will have inconsistent claims.
+
+### 4. Add the optional `email` and `profile` claims
+
+By default Entra ID's ID token does NOT include `email` — Microsoft considers email part of the "OIDC profile" but only emits it under specific conditions. To force emission:
+
+**App → Token configuration → Add optional claim → ID token → email**.
+
+You may also want `family_name`, `given_name`, `preferred_username` for richer User records on the certctl side.
+
+### 5. Grant the API permissions
+
+**App → API permissions**:
+
+- Microsoft Graph → Delegated permissions → ensure these are granted (most are default):
+  - `openid`
+  - `profile`
+  - `email`
+  - `offline_access` (optional; for refresh tokens — certctl doesn't use them currently).
+- Click **Grant admin consent** if your tenant requires it.
+
+### 6. (Optional) Restrict who can sign in
+
+By default any user in your tenant can attempt to sign in to the app. To restrict to specific users / groups:
+
+**Enterprise applications → certctl → Properties → Assignment required: Yes**.
+Then **Users and groups → Add user/group** and pick the `cert-engineers` / `cert-viewers` Entra ID groups.
+
+## certctl-side configuration
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST https://<your-certctl-host>:8443/api/v1/auth/oidc/providers \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${CERTCTL_API_KEY}" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "name": "Entra ID",
+    "issuer_url": "https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant-id>/v2.0",
+    "client_id": "<application-id>",
+    "client_secret": "<client-secret-value>",
+    "redirect_uri": "https://certctl.example.com:8443/auth/oidc/callback",
+    "groups_claim_path": "groups",
+    "groups_claim_format": "string-array",
+    "fetch_userinfo": false,
+    "scopes": ["openid", "profile", "email"],
+    "iat_window_seconds": 300,
+    "jwks_cache_ttl_seconds": 3600
+  }'
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- `issuer_url` MUST include `/v2.0` at the end for the v2.0 endpoint. The v1.0 endpoint emits tokens with a different `iss` shape and is NOT supported by certctl. The discovery doc at `https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant-id>/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration` confirms the right path.
+- `<tenant-id>` is the Directory (tenant) ID GUID from step 1.
+
+### Add the group→role mappings (GUID-keyed)
+
+Get the GUIDs of your engineering / viewer groups:
+
+**Entra ID → Groups → All groups → <group> → Overview → Object ID**.
+
+Then in certctl:
+
+```bash
+# Engineering group → r-operator
+curl -X POST https://<your-certctl-host>:8443/api/v1/auth/oidc/group-mappings \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${CERTCTL_API_KEY}" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "provider_id": "<provider-id>",
+    "group_name": "8b9b1faa-4e83-471e-8b00-7d99c3e2a5f1",
+    "role_id": "r-operator"
+  }'
+```
+
+Repeat for every group you want to map. **Document the GUID-to-name mapping in your operator runbook** — without it, the next operator looking at certctl's mappings page sees a wall of GUIDs with no way to know which is which. Consider naming the mapping descriptively if your group-mapping schema supports it (v2.1.0 doesn't yet — group-mapping descriptions are a parking-lot item for a follow-on release).
+
+## Verification
+
+End-to-end login + audit + Sessions checks are identical to Keycloak.
+
+**Entra-ID-specific:** the audit row's `details.subject` will be Microsoft's `oid` claim (a GUID, the user's object ID), stable across UPN / email changes. The certctl `users` table's `oidc_subject` column holds this GUID.
+
+**JWKS-rotation:** Microsoft auto-rotates signing keys on a documented schedule (every ~6 weeks). The discovery doc + JWKS endpoint always serve the union of active + recently-active keys, so in-flight logins continue to validate. No manual operator action needed in steady state. If you suspect a stuck cache after a Microsoft-side rotation, click "Refresh discovery cache" in the certctl GUI to evict.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Login completes; ID token contains a `hasgroups: true` claim instead of `groups`.**
+
+Entra ID emits this when a user is in too many groups (>200 by default for ID tokens, >150 for access tokens) — Microsoft truncates the claim and tells the consumer to use Microsoft Graph to look up the full list. certctl does NOT currently support the Graph fallback path (it's a follow-on bundle item).
+
+Workarounds:
+
+- Reduce the user's group membership to <200 (rarely practical in large tenants).
+- Restrict the `groups` claim to "Groups assigned to the application" (Token configuration step 3 above) instead of "Security groups". The "assigned" set is bounded by the app's user assignments and stays under the limit.
+- Use Entra ID's optional `wids` (well-known IDs) claim if you only care about admin/non-admin distinction; certctl can be configured against `wids` by setting `groups_claim_path` accordingly.
+
+**`groups` claim missing entirely.**
+
+Step 3 wasn't completed — Entra ID does NOT emit `groups` by default. Add the claim via Token configuration before users will see it.
+
+**`ErrIssuerMismatch` even though the `tid` in the token matches.**
+
+The v2.0 endpoint emits `iss = https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant-id>/v2.0` (no trailing slash). The v1.0 endpoint emits `iss = https://sts.windows.net/<tenant-id>/`. Confirm certctl's `issuer_url` matches v2.0 exactly — no trailing slash, includes `/v2.0`.
+
+**On-prem-synced groups emit GUIDs even when "Cloud-only display names" is selected.**
+
+Expected behavior — Microsoft only emits display names for groups created in Entra ID itself (cloud-only). On-prem-synced groups always emit object IDs. The hybrid case is unfixable from the IdP side; either map against GUIDs (recommended) or migrate the relevant groups to cloud-only.
+
+**The `email` claim is empty even though the user has a primary email.**
+
+Entra ID's `email` claim only populates when:
+1. The user has a "Primary email" set on their Entra ID profile (often blank for B2B guest users).
+2. The optional claim was added in step 4.
+
+For B2B guests, the `preferred_username` claim usually carries the email-shape login. You can configure certctl to use `preferred_username` as the user's display name fallback, but the `User.Email` column will remain blank — that's expected for guests.
+
+**Conditional Access policies blocking the login.**
+
+If your tenant has Conditional Access requiring MFA for new applications, certctl will see the user redirected through the MFA challenge. This works transparently — the certctl service doesn't care that MFA was performed; it only validates the resulting ID token. If MFA is failing for the user, debug at the Entra ID side (Sign-in logs).
+
+## Validation checklist
+
+Same as [keycloak.md](keycloak.md#validation-checklist), with these additions:
+
+- [ ] The ID token's `groups` claim is a string-array of GUIDs (decode at jwt.io).
+- [ ] Each certctl group-mapping uses the GUID, not a human-readable name.
+- [ ] A user with >200 groups successfully logs in (or the operator has documented the limitation + workaround in their internal runbook).
+- [ ] The Entra ID **Sign-in logs** view shows the certctl login event with status "Success".

+# Google Workspace OIDC runbook (broker via Keycloak)
+
+> Last reviewed: 2026-05-10
+
+This runbook wires certctl's OIDC SSO surface against [Google Workspace](https://workspace.google.com/) (formerly G Suite). Google's OIDC implementation has a well-known limitation that makes it unsuitable for direct integration with certctl: **the ID token does not emit a groups claim**, so there is no way for certctl's `ErrGroupsUnmapped` fail-closed contract to resolve a user's role assignment.
+
+The recommended pattern is to **broker Google Workspace through Keycloak (or Authentik)** as a federated identity provider. The end-user still signs in with their Google account, but certctl talks to Keycloak — which DOES emit groups — instead of talking to Google directly.
+
+For the canonical reference + mental model, read [keycloak.md](keycloak.md) first; this runbook builds on top of it.
+
+## The Google Workspace quirk in detail
+
+**What Google emits in an ID token:** `iss`, `aud`, `sub`, `azp`, `exp`, `iat`, `email`, `email_verified`, `name`, `picture`, `given_name`, `family_name`, `locale`, `hd` (hosted domain). That's it.
+
+**What it does NOT emit:** `groups`, `roles`, `permissions`, or any indicator of the user's Google Workspace organizational unit / group membership.
+
+There is a **Cloud Identity Groups API** at `https://cloudidentity.googleapis.com/v1/groups/-/memberships:searchTransitiveGroups` that lets a privileged service account look up a user's groups, but:
+
+1. It requires a service account with domain-wide delegation, which is a major security surface to grant to certctl.
+2. It's a separate REST call after the OIDC flow, not a claim — certctl's group-claim resolver is path-shape, not API-shape.
+3. The latency budget of an extra API call per login is non-trivial in steady state.
+
+For these reasons, the broker pattern is strongly preferred. If you absolutely cannot deploy a broker, see "Direct integration without groups" at the bottom of this runbook for a degraded mode where every Google-authenticated user gets a single fixed role.
+
+## Architecture: broker pattern
+
+```
+end user → Google Workspace login → Keycloak (federated IdP) → certctl
+                                       ↑
+                                       │
+                          adds groups claim from Keycloak's group store
+                          (NOT from Google)
+```
+
+In this topology:
+
+- The end user's authentication credentials live at Google.
+- The user's group / role assignments live at Keycloak (manually or via SCIM provisioning from Google).
+- certctl talks ONLY to Keycloak. From certctl's perspective this is identical to the [keycloak.md](keycloak.md) runbook.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- A running Keycloak instance with a realm dedicated to certctl. Read [keycloak.md](keycloak.md) and complete that runbook FIRST against a local-only test user. Verify end-to-end OIDC works against Keycloak before adding Google as a federated provider.
+- A Google Workspace tenant where you have Super Admin access OR can ask your Workspace admin to create OAuth credentials.
+- A Google Cloud project (free; same console as Workspace).
+
+## IdP-side configuration
+
+### Step 1: create a Google OAuth client
+
+In the Google Cloud Console (`https://console.cloud.google.com/`):
+
+**APIs & Services → OAuth consent screen → Configure**:
+
+- User Type: **Internal** (restricts to your Workspace domain) OR **External** (any Google account; usually NOT what you want for an internal cert-management tool).
+- App name: `certctl SSO via Keycloak`.
+- User support email: your team's address.
+- Authorized domains: add the domain Keycloak runs on.
+- Save.
+
+**APIs & Services → Credentials → Create Credentials → OAuth client ID**:
+
+- Application type: **Web application**.
+- Name: `certctl-via-keycloak`.
+- Authorized redirect URIs: `https://<keycloak-host>/realms/<realm-name>/broker/google/endpoint` — this is Keycloak's default federated-IdP callback URL. Get the exact URL from Keycloak in step 2 below.
+- Click **Create**.
+
+Copy the **Client ID** and **Client secret**.
+
+### Step 2: add Google as a federated identity provider in Keycloak
+
+In the Keycloak admin console (`https://<keycloak-host>/admin/`):
+
+**Realm → Identity providers → Add provider → Google**:
+
+- Alias: `google` (becomes part of the broker URL).
+- Display name: `Google Workspace`.
+- Client ID: paste from step 1.
+- Client secret: paste from step 1.
+- Default scopes: `openid profile email`.
+- Hosted Domain: your Workspace domain (e.g. `example.com`); restricts to your tenant.
+- Sync mode: **Force** (rewrites the user's first/last name/email from Google on every login; the alternative `Import` only writes on first login).
+- Trust email: **on** (Google verifies emails; certctl-Keycloak chain inherits the trust).
+- Click **Save**.
+
+The **Redirect URI** field at the top of the saved provider's page shows the exact URL you should have entered in Google's console at step 1. Re-verify match.
+
+### Step 3: configure group assignment in Keycloak
+
+This is the load-bearing step — we're explicitly NOT trusting Google for groups, so Keycloak has to provide them.
+
+**Option A: Manual group assignment in Keycloak.**
+
+Federated users from Google appear in **Users** in Keycloak after their first login. You assign them to `certctl-engineers` / `certctl-viewers` / etc. groups in Keycloak's UI manually. Pro: simple. Con: doesn't scale; new hires can't log in until an operator adds them to a group.
+
+**Option B: Default groups via "Default Groups" realm config.**
+
+**Realm settings → User registration → Default Groups → Add**: pick the lowest-privilege group (e.g. `certctl-viewers`). Every new federated user lands here automatically; operators promote individual users to higher groups as needed.
+
+**Option C: Mapper that derives groups from Google claims.**
+
+If your Google Workspace has organizational units that align with your role split, you can add a Keycloak **Identity Provider Mapper** that maps `hd` (hosted domain) or a custom Google directory custom-schema field to a Keycloak group. This is moderately fragile and Workspace-version-dependent; recommend B for most operators.
+
+**Option D: SCIM provisioning from Google to Keycloak.**
+
+Google Workspace can SCIM-push group memberships to Keycloak via the SCIM-for-Google-Cloud-Identity feature. Heavyweight; recommend only if you already have SCIM infrastructure.
+
+This runbook uses **Option B** (default group) for clarity.
+
+### Step 4: verify the broker flow at Keycloak alone
+
+Before bringing certctl into the picture:
+
+1. Log out of Keycloak's admin console.
+2. Hit `https://<keycloak-host>/realms/<realm-name>/account` in an incognito window.
+3. Click "Sign in" — Keycloak's login page should now show **Sign in with Google Workspace** as a button below the local login form.
+4. Click it; authenticate via Google; you should land on Keycloak's account page.
+5. Back in the admin console, the user appears under **Users**. Confirm they're in the default group (Option B).
+
+Only proceed to step 5 when Keycloak alone works end to end.
+
+### Step 5: configure certctl against Keycloak (NOT against Google)
+
+Follow the [keycloak.md](keycloak.md) runbook. Use the realm + client + groups configuration you set up there. The `OIDCProvider.issuer_url` is `https://<keycloak-host>/realms/<realm-name>` — Keycloak's URL, not Google's.
+
+When the user clicks "Sign in with Keycloak" on certctl's login page, the browser flow is:
+
+1. certctl → Keycloak authorize endpoint.
+2. Keycloak's login page shows **Sign in with Google Workspace** + the local login form. User clicks Google.
+3. Keycloak → Google authorize endpoint. User authenticates at Google.
+4. Google → Keycloak callback (`/broker/google/endpoint`). Keycloak resolves the user, assigns the default group.
+5. Keycloak → certctl callback. certctl sees a normal Keycloak ID token with the `groups` claim populated by Keycloak.
+6. certctl mints the session.
+
+End-to-end the user clicks twice (Keycloak's "Sign in with Google" button + Google's consent / login). Subsequent logins skip the consent screen if Google's session is fresh.
+
+## Verification
+
+End-to-end login + audit + Sessions checks are identical to Keycloak. The key Google-Workspace-specific check:
+
+- The `users.oidc_subject` column in certctl's database should contain the Keycloak-side stable subject (a UUID), NOT the Google subject. Decode the certctl-side ID token and confirm `iss` is Keycloak's URL, `sub` is the Keycloak UUID. Don't confuse the certctl ID token with Google's ID token (which lives one hop upstream and certctl never sees directly).
+
+## Direct integration without groups (NOT RECOMMENDED)
+
+If broker deployment is impossible:
+
+1. Configure certctl with `issuer_url = https://accounts.google.com`, `client_id` + `client_secret` from your Google OAuth client (with redirect URI pointed at certctl directly).
+2. Add a SINGLE group→role mapping where `group_name` is the empty string. **Wait — certctl rejects empty group names.** This is the structural reason this mode doesn't work: the fail-closed contract requires a real group claim to match.
+
+The actual workaround is to manually add EVERY operator's email to a per-email mapping, OR to add a custom claim emitter at a thin proxy in front of Google. Both are hacks; the broker pattern is strictly better. We document the constraint here so future operators don't burn cycles trying to make it work.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Federated Google login completes at Keycloak but the user lands on "no roles assigned" at certctl.**
+
+The user authenticated through Google → Keycloak successfully but Keycloak didn't assign them a group (Option A wasn't completed for that user, or Option B's default group isn't mapped on the certctl side). Check:
+
+- Keycloak → Users → <user> → Groups: is the user in any `certctl-*` group?
+- certctl → Auth → OIDC Providers → Keycloak → Group → role mappings: is that group mapped?
+
+**Google login fails with "redirect_uri_mismatch".**
+
+The Google OAuth client's authorized redirect URI doesn't match Keycloak's broker callback URL exactly. Re-fetch the URL from Keycloak (Identity Providers → Google → Redirect URI field) and paste it verbatim into Google's console.
+
+**Google auto-closes the consent prompt and returns "access_denied".**
+
+Workspace admin policies may block third-party app access. Either the Google OAuth client wasn't approved by the Workspace admin (Google Workspace Admin Console → Security → API controls → Trusted apps), or the OAuth consent screen is configured for "External" but the user is from a different Workspace. Switch to "Internal" if everyone signing in is in the same Workspace.
+
+**Keycloak log shows "Federated identity returned no email claim".**
+
+You requested OAuth scopes other than `openid profile email`. Re-add `email` to the Default Scopes on the Keycloak Identity Provider config.
+
+**Sign-out from certctl doesn't sign the user out of Google.**
+
+Expected. certctl revokes its own session; Google's session continues independently. If the user needs to fully log out, they sign out at https://accounts.google.com/Logout. The certctl + Keycloak chain is the standard "single sign-on, separate sign-outs" model.
+
+## Validation checklist
+
+Same as [keycloak.md](keycloak.md#validation-checklist), with these additions:
+
+- [ ] Google → Keycloak federation works without certctl in the loop (step 4 above passes).
+- [ ] A first-time Google sign-in lands the user in the Keycloak default group (or whatever Option you picked).
+- [ ] The certctl audit row's `details.subject` is the Keycloak UUID, NOT Google's `sub` (which would be a Google account ID).
+- [ ] Removing a user from Google Workspace causes their NEXT certctl session-validate to fail (after their existing session expires) — verify with a deactivated test user.

+# OIDC / SSO runbooks — per-IdP setup guides
+
+> Last reviewed: 2026-05-10
+
+This is the index for the per-IdP setup runbooks for certctl's OIDC SSO surface. Pick the runbook that matches your identity provider; each one walks you through the IdP-side configuration, the certctl-side configuration, end-to-end verification, and the most common troubleshooting paths.
+
+For the threat model behind certctl's OIDC implementation, see [`auth-threat-model.md`](../auth-threat-model.md). For the RBAC primitive that group→role mappings target, see [`rbac.md`](../rbac.md). For the underlying protocol details (PKCE, state, nonce, JWKS rotation, fail-closed semantics), see the OIDC service docstring at [`internal/auth/oidc/service.go`](../../../internal/auth/oidc/service.go).
+
+## Choose your runbook
+
+| IdP | Tier | Group claim shape | Quirks | Runbook |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Keycloak | Free / open-source | `string-array` against `groups` | None — canonical reference | [keycloak.md](keycloak.md) |
+| Authentik | Free / open-source | `string-array` against `groups` | Property-mapping driven; explicit scope claim | [authentik.md](authentik.md) |
+| Okta | Commercial (free dev tier) | `string-array` against `groups` | Group-filter regex on the claim definition | [okta.md](okta.md) |
+| Auth0 | Commercial (free dev tier) | `string-array` against namespaced URL | Custom claims must use a namespaced key (e.g. `https://your-namespace/groups`) and are emitted via an Action | [auth0.md](auth0.md) |
+| Azure AD / Entra ID | Commercial | `string-array` of GROUP OBJECT IDs (GUIDs), not names | Mappings must target object IDs, not human-readable names | [azure-ad.md](azure-ad.md) |
+| Google Workspace | Commercial | NO native group claim | Direct OIDC against Google Workspace cannot emit groups; broker through Keycloak (or Authentik) instead | [google-workspace.md](google-workspace.md) |
+
+## Common shape
+
+Every runbook follows the same five-section layout so you can scan across IdPs:
+
+1. **Prerequisites** — what you need on the IdP side (admin access, plan tier) and on the certctl side (an admin actor holding `auth.oidc.create` + `auth.oidc.edit`, the GUI / CLI / MCP surface available, the `CERTCTL_CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY` env var set in production so client_secret encrypts at rest).
+2. **IdP-side configuration** — clickable steps in the IdP admin console, with the exact field names and values certctl needs.
+3. **certctl-side configuration** — `POST /api/v1/auth/oidc/providers` payloads, plus the GUI and MCP equivalents. The wire shape is the same across every IdP; only the values differ.
+4. **Verification** — what a successful end-to-end login looks like in the audit log and the GUI Sessions page, plus the JWKS-rotation drill.
+5. **Troubleshooting** — the failure modes you're statistically most likely to hit, mapped to the certctl service-layer sentinel error you'll see in the audit row.
+
+## Cross-IdP recurring concepts
+
+These show up in every runbook; understand them once and skim the rest.
+
+**Redirect URI.** Every IdP needs the certctl-side callback URL registered as an allowed redirect URI. The format is `https://<your-certctl-host>/auth/oidc/callback` — port 8443 by default for the HTTPS-only control plane (Decision: post-v2.2 the platform is HTTPS-only, no plaintext port). For local-dev fixtures, `http://localhost:8443/auth/oidc/callback` is acceptable; production deployments MUST use HTTPS, and the OIDCProvider domain validator rejects HTTP issuer URLs in non-test paths.
+
+**Client secret rotation.** Every IdP issues a `client_secret` for the confidential client (certctl is always a confidential client; public clients aren't supported because we have a server-side place to keep the secret). Rotating at the IdP requires the operator to PUT the new secret into certctl via the GUI's "Edit provider" dialog or `certctl_auth_update_oidc_provider` MCP tool — leaving `client_secret` empty in the update payload preserves the existing ciphertext, providing a value rotates.
+
+**JWKS cache TTL.** The certctl service caches the IdP's JWKS document for `jwks_cache_ttl_seconds` (default 3600). When the IdP rotates a signing key, in-flight logins that try to validate a new-key-signed token against the stale cache fail with `ErrJWKSUnreachable` until the next refresh. Operators have two options: wait out the TTL, or click "Refresh discovery cache" in the GUI's OIDC Provider Detail page (`POST /api/v1/auth/oidc/providers/{id}/refresh`) to force-evict the cache. The Keycloak integration test exercises this drill end to end.
+
+**Group→role mappings are fail-closed.** The certctl service refuses to mint a session for a user whose IdP-supplied groups don't match ANY configured mapping (`ErrGroupsUnmapped` → HTTP 401 to the user with a "no roles assigned" page). This is intentional — empty mapping ≠ "let everyone in," it means "this provider is not yet configured for any role." Operators add at least one mapping (typically `<engineers-group>` → `r-operator`) BEFORE rolling out OIDC to users.
+
+**Nonce + state + PKCE-S256 are non-negotiable.** Every login flow round-trips a nonce (replay defense), a state (CSRF defense), and a PKCE-S256 verifier (RFC 9700 §2.1.1 mandate). `plain` PKCE is rejected at the service-layer sentinel level. None of this is configurable; if your IdP doesn't support PKCE-S256, you cannot use it with certctl.
+
+**IdP downgrade-attack defense.** At provider creation AND on every JWKS refresh, certctl intersects the IdP's advertised `id_token_signing_alg_values_supported` with the certctl allow-list (RS256, RS512, ES256, ES384, EdDSA by default). If the IdP advertises HS256/HS384/HS512 or `none`, provider creation is rejected — even before any token is signed under the weak alg. This catches the case where a future compromised or misconfigured IdP tries to rotate to an alg-confusion-prone setup.
+
+## When you finish a runbook
+
+Each per-IdP runbook ends with a **validation checklist** the operator runs against a real production-tier deployment. Run through the matrix end-to-end against your IdP and mark your sign-off in the runbook's footer — that gives the next operator (or the next you) a dated record of what's been verified to work.

+# Keycloak OIDC runbook
+
+> Last reviewed: 2026-05-10
+
+This is the canonical reference runbook for wiring certctl's OIDC SSO surface against [Keycloak](https://www.keycloak.org/). Keycloak is a free / open-source identity provider that runs on-prem or self-hosted; it is also the load-bearing test fixture for certctl's OIDC integration tests (`internal/auth/oidc/testfixtures/keycloak.go`), so the certctl-side validation pipeline is exhaustively exercised against it.
+
+If your IdP is something else (Okta, Auth0, Azure AD, Authentik, Google Workspace), see the per-IdP siblings in [this directory](index.md). The mental model + certctl-side wiring are identical; only the IdP-side console differs.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+**On the Keycloak side:**
+
+- Keycloak ≥ 25.0 (older versions work but the screen flows differ slightly — the integration test fixture pins 25.0).
+- Admin access to a realm — either an existing tenant realm or a fresh one created for certctl. Don't share Keycloak's `master` realm; create a dedicated realm.
+- Network reachability from certctl-server to the Keycloak `https://<keycloak-host>/realms/<realm-name>` discovery endpoint. The certctl service fetches `/.well-known/openid-configuration` at provider creation and at every `RefreshKeys` call.
+- Keycloak's signing alg set to RS256 (default) or any of: RS512, ES256, ES384, EdDSA. HS256/HS384/HS512 + `none` are rejected by certctl's IdP-downgrade-attack defense at provider creation time.
+
+**On the certctl side:**
+
+- `CERTCTL_CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY` set to a stable secret (production deployments only — the encryption-at-rest layer for the OIDC client_secret depends on it).
+- An admin actor holding `auth.oidc.create` + `auth.oidc.edit` (held by `r-admin` by default; granted via `certctl_auth_assign_role_to_key` MCP tool or the GUI's Auth → Keys page).
+- Server build ≥ v2.1.0.
+
+## IdP-side configuration
+
+The same configuration you'll do by hand here is what the testcontainers fixture imports from `internal/auth/oidc/testfixtures/keycloak-realm.json` — read that file alongside this runbook to see the exact JSON shape Keycloak persists.
+
+### 1. Create or pick a realm
+
+In the Keycloak admin console (`https://<keycloak-host>/admin/`), drop into the realm you'll use. If creating a new one, the realm name will become part of the issuer URL: `https://<keycloak-host>/realms/<realm-name>`.
+
+### 2. Create the OIDC client
+
+**Clients → Create client**:
+
+- Client type: **OpenID Connect**
+- Client ID: `certctl` (or whatever you prefer; it goes into `OIDCProvider.client_id` on the certctl side).
+- Always display in console: off.
+- Click **Next**.
+
+On the capability config page:
+
+- Client authentication: **On** (this makes the client confidential, which is what certctl requires).
+- Authorization: off.
+- Standard flow: **on** (auth-code with PKCE — this is the path certctl uses).
+- Direct access grants: off (ROPC; the test fixture turns this on for ROPC convenience but production should NOT).
+- Implicit flow: off.
+- Service accounts roles: off.
+- Click **Next**.
+
+Login settings:
+
+- Root URL: leave blank.
+- Home URL: blank.
+- Valid redirect URIs: `https://<your-certctl-host>:8443/auth/oidc/callback` — ONE entry, exact match. Wildcards (`*`) work for local dev (`http://localhost:*`) but production should pin the exact host.
+- Valid post logout redirect URIs: blank or `+` (matches the redirect URI list).
+- Web origins: `+` (matches the redirect URI origin) or empty.
+- Click **Save**.
+
+On the saved client's **Credentials** tab, copy the **Client secret** — you'll need it for the certctl-side payload.
+
+### 3. Create the groups
+
+**Groups → Create group**:
+
+- Repeat for every certctl role you want to map to a group. A typical setup creates two:
+  - `certctl-engineers` (intended target: `r-operator`)
+  - `certctl-viewers` (intended target: `r-viewer`)
+- Optionally an `certctl-admins` group → `r-admin` for break-glass-free first-admin bootstrap; see the [`auth-threat-model.md`](../auth-threat-model.md) section on bootstrap admins.
+
+### 4. Configure the group-membership claim mapper
+
+This is the load-bearing step — without it, the ID token won't carry a `groups` claim and every login fails closed with `ErrGroupsUnmapped`.
+
+**Clients → certctl → Client scopes → certctl-dedicated → Add mapper → By configuration → Group Membership**:
+
+- Name: `groups`
+- Token Claim Name: `groups`
+- Full group path: **off** (so the claim emits `engineers`, not `/engineers`; matches the certctl `string-array` group-claim format).
+- Add to ID token: **on**.
+- Add to access token: **on** (optional but recommended; the userinfo-fallback path uses it).
+- Add to userinfo: **on**.
+- Click **Save**.
+
+### 5. Create the user(s)
+
+**Users → Add user**:
+
+- Username: `alice` (or however you identify operators).
+- Email: required (used as the certctl-side `User.Email`).
+- First name + last name: optional but populates `User.DisplayName`.
+- Email verified: **on** if you trust the user.
+- Click **Create**.
+
+On the saved user's **Credentials** tab:
+- Set a password. Mark **Temporary** if you want the user to reset on first login.
+
+On the **Groups** tab:
+- Join the user to the group(s) you created in step 3.
+
+## certctl-side configuration
+
+### Via the GUI
+
+1. Sign in as an admin actor.
+2. Navigate to **Auth → OIDC Providers** in the sidebar.
+3. Click **Configure provider**.
+4. Fill in:
+   - **Display name**: `Keycloak` (free-text; what end-users see on the login page button).
+   - **Issuer URL**: `https://<keycloak-host>/realms/<realm-name>`.
+   - **Client ID**: `certctl` (matches step 2 above).
+   - **Client secret**: paste the secret from step 2's Credentials tab.
+   - **Redirect URI**: `https://<your-certctl-host>:8443/auth/oidc/callback`.
+   - **Groups claim path**: `groups` (the default; matches step 4's Token Claim Name).
+   - **Groups claim format**: `string-array` (the default).
+   - **Fetch userinfo**: off (Keycloak emits groups in the ID token; userinfo fallback is for IdPs that don't).
+   - **Scopes**: `openid profile email` (the certctl service prepends `openid` if missing).
+   - **IAT window seconds**: 300 (default).
+   - **JWKS cache TTL seconds**: 3600 (default).
+5. Click **Save**.
+
+If the discovery doc fetch fails, the modal surfaces the error inline. The most common cause is a typo in the issuer URL — Keycloak emits 404 for any path under `/realms/` that doesn't match an actual realm.
+
+### Via the API
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST https://<your-certctl-host>:8443/api/v1/auth/oidc/providers \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${CERTCTL_API_KEY}" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "name": "Keycloak",
+    "issuer_url": "https://keycloak.example.com/realms/certctl",
+    "client_id": "certctl",

+    "groups_claim_path": "groups",
+    "groups_claim_format": "string-array",
+    "fetch_userinfo": false,
+    "scopes": ["openid", "profile", "email"],
+    "iat_window_seconds": 300,
+    "jwks_cache_ttl_seconds": 3600
+  }'
+```
+
+### Via MCP
+
+```
+certctl_auth_create_oidc_provider {
+  "name": "Keycloak",
+  "issuer_url": "https://keycloak.example.com/realms/certctl",
+  "client_id": "certctl",
+  "client_secret": "<paste-the-secret>",
+  "redirect_uri": "https://certctl.example.com:8443/auth/oidc/callback",
+  "groups_claim_path": "groups",
+  "groups_claim_format": "string-array",
+  "scopes": ["openid", "profile", "email"]
+}
+```
+
+### Add the group→role mappings
+
+GUI: **Auth → OIDC Providers → Keycloak → Group → role mappings → Add**.
+
+- IdP group: `certctl-engineers` → certctl role: `r-operator`.
+- IdP group: `certctl-viewers` → certctl role: `r-viewer`.
+
+API equivalent: `POST /api/v1/auth/oidc/group-mappings` with `{"provider_id": "<id>", "group_name": "certctl-engineers", "role_id": "r-operator"}`. MCP equivalent: `certctl_auth_add_group_mapping`.
+
+Empty mapping list = nobody can log in via Keycloak (the fail-closed contract). Add at least one before announcing the SSO endpoint to users.
+
+## Verification
+
+### End-to-end login
+
+1. Open `https://<your-certctl-host>:8443/login` in a fresh incognito window.
+2. The page renders an OIDC button block with `Sign in with Keycloak` (the display name from the create-provider step).
+3. Click it. The browser redirects to Keycloak, you authenticate as `alice`, Keycloak redirects back to certctl, and you land on the dashboard.
+4. Navigate to **Auth → Sessions**. You should see a row with your own actor ID, the IP you logged in from, and the current timestamp under "last seen".
+
+### Audit trail
+
+```bash
+curl https://<your-certctl-host>:8443/api/v1/audit?category=auth \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${CERTCTL_API_KEY}" | jq '.events[] | select(.action == "auth.oidc_login_succeeded")'
+```
+
+You should see a row for the login above, with `details.provider_id` matching the Keycloak provider's id and `details.subject` set to the Keycloak user's `sub` claim (typically a UUID).
+
+### JWKS-rotation drill
+
+Operator action when Keycloak rotates its realm signing key:
+
+1. In Keycloak: **Realm settings → Keys → Providers → Add provider → rsa-generated**, set priority higher than the current key (e.g. 200), enabled = on, active = on.
+2. In certctl: GUI → **Auth → OIDC Providers → Keycloak → Refresh discovery cache** button. Or the CLI / MCP equivalent: `POST /api/v1/auth/oidc/providers/<id>/refresh`.
+3. Run another login. The new ID token is signed under the new key; the certctl service validates it against the freshly-fetched JWKS doc.
+
+The Keycloak integration test `TestKeycloakIntegration_JWKSRotation_RefreshKeysPicksUpNewKey` exercises this exact flow end to end.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**"Discovery doc fetch failed" at provider creation.**
+The most common cause is a wrong issuer URL — typo in realm name, missing `/realms/` segment, or HTTP→HTTPS redirect that the Go client doesn't follow without explicit headers. Curl the URL manually:
+```
+curl -v https://<keycloak-host>/realms/<realm-name>/.well-known/openid-configuration
+```
+If that returns 404, fix the realm name. If it returns 200 but certctl still fails, check `cmd/server` logs for the wrapped error.
+
+**"IdP downgrade-attack defense" rejected provider creation.**
+Keycloak's realm has a signing key advertised in `id_token_signing_alg_values_supported` that's in certctl's deny-list (HS256/HS384/HS512/`none`). Check **Realm settings → Keys → Providers** — disable any HMAC key providers and re-create the provider in certctl.
+
+**Login redirects to Keycloak, the user authenticates, but the callback redirects back to `/login` with "no roles assigned".**
+The user authenticated successfully but their groups didn't match any configured mapping (`ErrGroupsUnmapped`). Check:
+- The user is actually a member of the group you mapped (Users → user → Groups tab in Keycloak).
+- The group-membership mapper is configured correctly (Clients → certctl → Client scopes → certctl-dedicated → mappers → groups → "Full group path: off" matters).
+- The group name in your certctl mapping exactly matches what Keycloak emits — case-sensitive, no leading slash if "Full group path: off".
+
+You can confirm what Keycloak is actually emitting by decoding the ID token at jwt.io against the Keycloak public key, or by enabling certctl's debug logging on the OIDC service for one login (logs are scrubbed of token contents per the OIDC service's token-leak hygiene contract; debug logs surface only the resolved group list and the mapping decision).
+
+**"id_token verify failed: token used before issued"**
+Clock skew between Keycloak and certctl-server. Either align both to NTP, or bump `iat_window_seconds` on the OIDC provider config (default 300 = 5 minutes). The certctl service caps `iat_window_seconds` at 600.
+
+**"oidc: pre-login session not found or already consumed"**
+The user clicked the OIDC login button, then the browser tab idled past the 10-minute pre-login TTL OR the user opened the IdP login in a new tab and consumed the row from the first one. Have them retry.
+
+**"oidc: state parameter mismatch (replay or forgery)"**
+Either the user double-submitted a callback URL (clicked it twice from email or browser history), or a CSRF attempt. The pre-login row is single-use; second consumption returns `ErrPreLoginNotFound`. Have them retry from the login page.
+
+**Sessions revoked but the user can still hit the API.**
+Check the session contract: the cookie is HMAC-validated on every request, but the actual database row is what `Revoke` deletes. If your reverse proxy is caching the response or the `__Host-certctl_session` cookie wasn't actually cleared on the client, the cookie will hit the server's session middleware which will return 401 on the missing-row lookup. The middleware never serves stale data; the issue is upstream of certctl in this case.
+
+## Validation checklist
+
+Before signing off this runbook for production rollout, validate these end-to-end:
+
+- [ ] `auth.oidc_provider_created` audit row appears after the create-provider POST.
+- [ ] `Sign in with Keycloak` button renders on the login page after `getAuthInfo` returns the configured provider.
+- [ ] A user with mapped groups completes the auth-code flow and lands on the dashboard.
+- [ ] A user WITHOUT mapped groups gets the "no roles assigned" landing (not the dashboard).
+- [ ] The `auth.oidc_login_succeeded` and `auth.oidc_login_failed` audit rows correctly distinguish the two cases.
+- [ ] The Sessions page shows the new session, with self-pill on the caller's row.
+- [ ] Revoking the session via the GUI causes the next API request from that browser to 401 + redirect to login.
+- [ ] Running the JWKS-rotation drill (steps above) does not break in-flight logins; rotated tokens validate against the refreshed JWKS.
+- [ ] Editing the provider with `client_secret` blank preserves the existing ciphertext (operator confirms by reading the `oidc_providers.client_secret_encrypted` column before + after the PUT — bytes unchanged).

+# Okta OIDC runbook
+
+> Last reviewed: 2026-05-10
+
+This runbook wires certctl's OIDC SSO surface against [Okta](https://www.okta.com/), a commercial cloud IdP. Okta offers a free developer tier (`https://dev-NNNNN.okta.com`) suitable for evaluation; production runs on a paid Workforce Identity tenant.
+
+For the canonical reference + mental model, read [keycloak.md](keycloak.md) first; this runbook only documents the Okta-specific deltas.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+**On the Okta side:**
+
+- A Workforce Identity tenant (or free Developer Edition account at <https://developer.okta.com/signup/>).
+- Super Admin or Application Admin role in your Okta tenant.
+- Network reachability from certctl-server to `https://<your-org>.okta.com/.well-known/openid-configuration` OR to a custom authorization server endpoint if you're using one (`https://<your-org>.okta.com/oauth2/<auth-server-id>/.well-known/openid-configuration`).
+
+**On the certctl side:** same as Keycloak.
+
+## IdP-side configuration
+
+### 1. Create the OIDC application
+
+In the Okta admin console:
+
+**Applications → Applications → Create App Integration**:
+
+- Sign-in method: **OIDC - OpenID Connect**.
+- Application type: **Web Application**.
+- Click **Next**.
+
+App config:
+
+- App integration name: `certctl`.
+- Logo: optional.
+- Grant types: **Authorization Code** (CHECK). Leave Refresh Token unchecked unless you have a specific reason — certctl doesn't currently use refresh tokens.
+- Sign-in redirect URIs: `https://<your-certctl-host>:8443/auth/oidc/callback`.
+- Sign-out redirect URIs: optional; leave empty unless you also configure RP-initiated logout.
+- Trusted Origins: leave default.
+- Assignments → Controlled access: **Limit access to selected groups** (recommended; pick the `certctl-*` groups from step 3 below).
+- Click **Save**.
+
+On the saved app's **General** tab, copy the **Client ID** and **Client secret** (under Client Credentials). The secret is shown once on creation — copy it immediately or rotate via "Generate new secret".
+
+### 2. Pick or create an authorization server
+
+Okta has TWO authorization-server tiers:
+
+- **The Org Authorization Server** at `https://<your-org>.okta.com` — emits ID tokens with limited claims; cannot host custom claims directly. Use for the simplest setup.
+- **A Custom Authorization Server** at `https://<your-org>.okta.com/oauth2/<auth-server-id>` — fully configurable scopes + claims + access policies. The free developer tier ships with a default custom server at `/oauth2/default`. Recommended for production.
+
+For this runbook we use the default custom server: `https://<your-org>.okta.com/oauth2/default`.
+
+### 3. Create the groups + assign users
+
+**Directory → Groups → Add Group**:
+
+- Repeat for `certctl-engineers`, `certctl-viewers`, optionally `certctl-admins`.
+
+**Directory → People → <user> → Groups**: assign each user to the appropriate `certctl-*` group(s).
+
+Then go back to the App from step 1 and on the **Assignments** tab, assign the `certctl-*` groups to the application. Without this assignment Okta will reject the user's login attempt at the IdP layer with "User is not assigned to the client application".
+
+### 4. Configure the groups claim
+
+This is the load-bearing Okta-specific step. The default authorization server does NOT emit a `groups` claim out of the box — you have to define it.
+
+**Security → API → Authorization Servers → default → Claims → Add Claim**:
+
+- Name: `groups`.
+- Include in token type: **ID Token, Always** (also tick Access Token if you want the userinfo-fallback path to work).
+- Value type: **Groups**.
+- Filter: pick **Matches regex** with the value `certctl-.*` so only the `certctl-*` groups are emitted (saves on token size; users in dozens of unrelated groups get a bloated token otherwise).
+- Disable claim: off.
+- Include in: **Any scope** (or pin to `openid` if you want the claim only on the certctl-flow).
+- Click **Create**.
+
+### 5. (Optional) Add `email` and `profile` claims
+
+The default custom server already emits `email` and `name` under the `profile` and `email` scopes — no action needed unless you've stripped them from a custom config.
+
+## certctl-side configuration
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST https://<your-certctl-host>:8443/api/v1/auth/oidc/providers \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${CERTCTL_API_KEY}" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "name": "Okta",
+    "issuer_url": "https://your-org.okta.com/oauth2/default",
+    "client_id": "<paste-from-step-1>",
+    "client_secret": "<paste-from-step-1>",
+    "redirect_uri": "https://certctl.example.com:8443/auth/oidc/callback",
+    "groups_claim_path": "groups",
+    "groups_claim_format": "string-array",
+    "fetch_userinfo": false,
+    "scopes": ["openid", "profile", "email"],
+    "iat_window_seconds": 300,
+    "jwks_cache_ttl_seconds": 3600
+  }'
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- `issuer_url` MUST match exactly what Okta emits as the `iss` claim. For the default custom server it's `https://<your-org>.okta.com/oauth2/default` (no trailing slash). The org server's issuer is just `https://<your-org>.okta.com` (no `/oauth2/...` path). Mismatching either side trips certctl's `ErrIssuerMismatch` sentinel.
+- The `groups` scope is NOT required in the scopes list — Okta emits the claim based on the claim definition's "Include in: any scope" setting. Adding `groups` to the scopes list is harmless if your custom server has the scope defined.
+
+Add the group→role mappings: `certctl-engineers` → `r-operator`, `certctl-viewers` → `r-viewer`, `certctl-admins` → `r-admin`.
+
+## Verification
+
+End-to-end login + audit + Sessions checks are identical to Keycloak.
+
+**Okta-specific:** the audit row's `details.subject` will be Okta's user UID (a 20-char alphanumeric string starting with `00u`), stable across email changes. The certctl `users` table's `oidc_subject` column will hold this UID.
+
+**Optional Okta smoke test in CI:** certctl ships an opt-in smoke test at `internal/auth/oidc/integration_okta_smoke_test.go` (build tags `integration && okta_smoke`). Set `OKTA_ISSUER` + `OKTA_CLIENT_ID` + `OKTA_CLIENT_SECRET` env vars and run `make okta-smoke-test` to drive a discovery + RefreshKeys round-trip against your live tenant. Pre-reqs: enable the Resource Owner Password (ROPC) grant on the application (Sign-On tab → Grant types → Resource Owner Password) for the smoke test only; production certctl uses auth-code-with-PKCE.
+
+**JWKS-rotation drill:** Okta auto-rotates signing keys every ~3 months and publishes the new key alongside the old in the JWKS doc for ~1 month overlap. Manual rotation: **Security → API → Authorization Servers → default → Keys → "Generate new key"**. After rotation, click "Refresh discovery cache" in certctl's GUI; new tokens validate immediately.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**"User is not assigned to the client application" at the Okta login screen.**
+You created the app + the user but didn't assign the user to the app via a group. Either assign the user directly (App → Assignments → Assign to People) or assign the `certctl-*` groups to the app (App → Assignments → Assign to Groups).
+
+**Login completes but `groups` claim is empty in the ID token.**
+Most common Okta gotcha — the default custom server doesn't emit `groups` until you define the claim (step 4 above). Decode the ID token at jwt.io to confirm. If the claim is defined but empty, check the regex filter in step 4 — `certctl-.*` matches names like `certctl-engineers` but NOT `engineers`.
+
+**`ErrIssuerMismatch` after correctly configuring the discovery URL.**
+The issuer claim Okta puts in the ID token MUST match `OIDCProvider.IssuerURL` byte-for-byte, including trailing slash. The default custom server emits `https://<your-org>.okta.com/oauth2/default` (no trailing slash); the org server emits `https://<your-org>.okta.com`. Don't append a trailing slash to either.
+
+**Login succeeds but the certctl `User.Email` is empty.**
+The `email` scope wasn't requested OR the user's email isn't verified at Okta. Add `email` to the certctl scopes config and ensure Okta's user has a verified primary email.
+
+**Okta returns "PKCE code verifier required".**
+The certctl service hard-codes PKCE-S256 on every login (RFC 9700 mandate). If Okta is rejecting the verifier, the most likely cause is a misconfigured app type — confirm the Okta application is "Web Application" (which supports auth-code + PKCE), not "Single-Page Application" (which has different token-binding rules) or "Native App".
+
+**Custom-server access policies blocking the login.**
+By default the `default` custom authorization server has an "Access Policy" with one rule allowing all clients + all users. If you've tightened this (production hygiene), add a rule that allows the `certctl` client + the `certctl-*` groups: **Security → API → Authorization Servers → default → Access Policies → <policy> → Add Rule**.
+
+## Validation checklist
+
+Same as [keycloak.md](keycloak.md#validation-checklist), with Okta-specific values + the access-policy check above.

+
+This is the operator-facing reference for the role-based access
+control primitive in certctl.
+Read this if you're running certctl in production and need to grant /
+revoke access to API keys, set up the auditor split, or onboard the
+first admin.
+
+For the threat model behind these controls, see
+[`auth-threat-model.md`](auth-threat-model.md). For the migration
+flow from a pre-RBAC (v2.0.x) deployment, see
+[`docs/migration/api-keys-to-rbac.md`](../migration/api-keys-to-rbac.md).
+
+## Mental model
+
+Every action against the certctl HTTP / CLI / MCP / GUI surface is
+performed by an **actor** (an API key, an agent's machine identity,
+the synthetic demo-anon actor when the server runs in
+`CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=none` mode). Each actor holds zero or more
+**roles**. Each role grants a set of **permissions** at a **scope**.
+A request to a gated endpoint succeeds when the actor's effective
+permission set (the union across all held roles) contains the
+permission the endpoint requires.
+
+The schema lives in `migrations/000029_rbac.up.sql` and ships with
+seven seeded default roles + a 33-permission canonical catalogue.
+The middleware that gates requests lives at
+`internal/auth/require_permission.go`. The service-layer authorizer
+that resolves "actor → permissions" lives at
+`internal/service/auth/authorizer.go`.
+
+## Default roles (seeded by migration 000029)
+
+| Role | ID | Use case | Permission shape |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Admin | `r-admin` | Operator with full control | Every permission in the canonical catalogue |
+| Operator | `r-operator` | Day-to-day cert lifecycle | `cert.*`, `profile.read`, `issuer.read`, `target.*`, `agent.read`, `audit.read` |
+| Viewer | `r-viewer` | Read-only console access | `*.read` for every resource type |
+| Agent | `r-agent` | Machine identity for `certctl-agent` | `cert.read` + `agent.heartbeat` + `agent.job.poll` + `agent.job.complete` + `agent.job.report` |
+| MCP | `r-mcp` | Operator-equivalent for the MCP server, minus destructive ops | Like Operator without `*.delete` |
+| CLI | `r-cli` | Day-to-day operator CLI | Like Operator + `auth.key.list` / `auth.key.create` / `auth.key.rotate` |
+| Auditor | `r-auditor` | Compliance reviewer | `audit.read` + `audit.export` ONLY |
+
+**Note on actor-type binding (Audit 2026-05-10 LOW-8):** Roles in
+the catalogue are NOT bound to a specific `actor_type`. `r-mcp` is
+named for clarity ("the role MCP service accounts hold") but the
+schema permits granting it to any actor — including a human OIDC
+user. Same goes for `r-cli` and `r-agent`. The role-grant API accepts
+`{actor_id, actor_type, role_id}` tuples; the `actor_type` constraint
+lives on the grant row, not the role definition. Operators who want
+to enforce "only API-key actors hold r-mcp" should write that as an
+operator-side policy + verify via a periodic audit query against
+`actor_roles` joined to `api_keys` / `users`. Native role-to-
+actor-type binding is on the v2 roadmap.
+
+The auditor split is the load-bearing one: an auditor cannot read
+certificates, profiles, or issuers - only audit events. That makes the
+role legitimate to hand to a SOC 2 / FedRAMP / PCI auditor without
+giving them the keys to the kingdom. The
+`internal/domain/auth/auditor_test.go` invariants pin this set going
+forward.
+
+The five **admin-only fine-grained perms** seeded by migration
+000030 gate the high-blast-radius endpoints:
+
+- `cert.bulk_revoke` - `POST /api/v1/certificates/bulk-revoke` and the EST sibling
+- `crl.admin` - `/api/v1/admin/crl/cache`
+- `scep.admin` - `/api/v1/admin/scep/intune/*`
+- `est.admin` - `/api/v1/admin/est/*`
+- `ca.hierarchy.manage` - `/api/v1/issuers/{id}/intermediates`, `/api/v1/intermediates/{id}`
+
+Only `r-admin` holds these by default. To delegate one, create a
+custom role with the specific perm and grant it to the right actor.
+
+## Permission catalogue
+
+The catalogue is namespaced. Permission strings are stable across
+releases; new permissions add to the namespace, never reshape an
+existing one. Run
+`certctl-cli auth permissions list` (or `GET /api/v1/auth/permissions`)
+for the live catalogue.
+
+| Namespace | Examples | What the namespace gates |
+|---|---|---|
+| `cert.*` | `cert.read`, `cert.issue`, `cert.revoke`, `cert.delete`, `cert.bulk_revoke` | The certificate lifecycle surface (`/api/v1/certificates`) |
+| `profile.*` | `profile.read`, `profile.edit`, `profile.delete` | `CertificateProfile` CRUD |
+| `issuer.*` | `issuer.read`, `issuer.edit`, `issuer.delete` | Issuer connector config |
+| `target.*` | `target.read`, `target.edit`, `target.delete` | Deployment target config |
+| `agent.*` | `agent.read`, `agent.edit`, `agent.retire`, `agent.heartbeat`, `agent.job.*` | Agent fleet + agent self-service endpoints |
+| `audit.*` | `audit.read`, `audit.export` | The audit-events surface |
+| `auth.role.*` | `auth.role.list`, `auth.role.create`, `auth.role.edit`, `auth.role.delete`, `auth.role.assign` | RBAC management |
+| `auth.key.*` | `auth.key.list`, `auth.key.create`, `auth.key.rotate`, `auth.key.delete` | API key management |
+| `auth.bootstrap.*` | `auth.bootstrap.use` | Day-0 first-admin path |
+| `crl.admin`, `scep.admin`, `est.admin`, `ca.hierarchy.manage` | (single perms) | The five admin-only fine-grained perms (see above) |
+| `job.*` | `job.read`, `job.cancel` | Deployment job lifecycle |
+| `approval.*` | `approval.read`, `approval.approve`, `approval.reject` | Two-person approval workflow (cert-issuance + profile-edit) |
+| `policy.*` | `policy.read`, `policy.edit`, `policy.delete` | Compliance policies + renewal policies |
+| `team.*`, `owner.*` | `team.read`, `team.edit`, `team.delete`, `owner.*` | Organizational metadata |
+| `notification.*` | `notification.read`, `notification.edit` | Notification queue + requeue |
+| `discovery.*` | `discovery.read`, `discovery.run`, `discovery.claim` | Agent + cloud-secret-store discovery |
+| `network_scan.*` | `network_scan.read`, `network_scan.edit`, `network_scan.run` | TLS network scanning + SCEP probing |
+| `healthcheck.*` | `healthcheck.read`, `healthcheck.edit`, `healthcheck.delete`, `healthcheck.acknowledge` | Uptime monitors |
+| `digest.*` | `digest.read`, `digest.send` | Operator-summary digest emails |
+| `verification.*` | `verification.read`, `verification.run` | Post-deploy verification |
+| `stats.read`, `metrics.read` | (single perms) | Dashboard summary + Prometheus exposition |
+
+The full catalogue lives in
+[`internal/domain/auth/validate.go`](../../internal/domain/auth/validate.go).
+The router-level enforcement sits in
+[`internal/api/router/router.go`](../../internal/api/router/router.go);
+the AST-level CI guard
+[`TestRouterRBACGateCoverage`](../../internal/api/router/router_rbac_coverage_test.go)
+pins the contract — adding a new state-changing or read endpoint
+without an `rbacGate` / `rbacGateScoped` wrap fails CI.
+
+## Scope semantics
+
+Permissions are granted at one of three scopes:
+
+- **`global`** - applies to every resource in the tenant. The
+  default for the seeded role grants. A `cert.read` grant at global
+  scope lets the actor read any certificate.
+- **`profile`** - applies only to the named `CertificateProfile`
+  (matched by ID). `cert.issue` at scope `profile`/`p-corp-cdn` lets
+  the actor issue against `p-corp-cdn` only.
+- **`issuer`** - applies only to the named issuer. Lets you grant
+  `issuer.edit` on the production issuer to a senior operator
+  without giving them edit on every issuer.
+
+Global beats specific: an actor with `cert.read` at global scope
+passes a `cert.read` check against any specific profile or issuer
+even if no scoped grant exists. The reverse is also true - a
+scoped grant doesn't satisfy a request against a different scope.
+The Authorizer's `CheckPermission` is the single point of truth.

+## Granting + revoking access
+
+### From the GUI
+
+`/auth/roles` lists every role; click into one to see its
+permissions and (if you hold `auth.role.edit`) add or remove a
+permission. `/auth/keys` lists every actor with role grants;
+click "Assign role" to grant, click the × on a role tag to revoke.
+
+The synthetic `actor-demo-anon` row is shown but flagged
+"system-managed" with the mutation buttons hidden - the server-side
+reserved-actor guard rejects mutations against it regardless.
+
+### From the CLI
+
+```bash
+# Identity probe - what can the current API key actually do?
+certctl-cli auth me
+
+# Roles
+certctl-cli auth roles list
+certctl-cli auth roles get r-admin
+
+# Permissions catalogue
+certctl-cli auth permissions list
+
+# Key → role assignment
+certctl-cli auth keys list
+certctl-cli auth keys assign alice --role r-operator
+certctl-cli auth keys revoke alice --role r-admin

+certctl-cli auth keys scope-down --suggest --apply
+
+# JSON-driven scope-down for automation (Helm post-upgrade hook etc.)
+certctl-cli auth keys scope-down --non-interactive ./scope-down.json
+```
+
+The mutating role-lifecycle commands (`certctl-cli auth roles
+create / update / delete` + `roles add-permission / remove-permission`)
+are tracked as a follow-on; today, manage custom
+roles via the HTTP API or GUI.
+
+### From the HTTP API
+
+Every endpoint is documented in `api/openapi.yaml` under the `[Auth]`
+tag. Quick reference:
+
+| Endpoint | Permission |
+|---|---|
+| `GET /v1/auth/me` | (none - own data) |
+| `GET /v1/auth/roles` | `auth.role.list` |
+| `GET /v1/auth/roles/{id}` | `auth.role.list` |
+| `POST /v1/auth/roles` | `auth.role.create` |
+| `PUT /v1/auth/roles/{id}` | `auth.role.edit` |
+| `DELETE /v1/auth/roles/{id}` | `auth.role.delete` |
+| `GET /v1/auth/permissions` | `auth.role.list` |
+| `POST /v1/auth/roles/{id}/permissions` | `auth.role.edit` |
+| `DELETE /v1/auth/roles/{id}/permissions/{perm}` | `auth.role.edit` |
+| `GET /v1/auth/keys` | `auth.role.list` |
+| `POST /v1/auth/keys/{id}/roles` | `auth.role.assign` |
+| `DELETE /v1/auth/keys/{id}/roles/{role_id}` (+ optional `?scope_type=` / `?scope_id=`) | `auth.role.assign` |
+| `GET /v1/auth/check` | (authenticated; surfaces effective perms) |
+| `GET /v1/auth/bootstrap` + `POST /v1/auth/bootstrap` | (auth-exempt; gated by env-var token) |
+
+#### Revoke: legacy "all variants" vs scope-selective (Audit 2026-05-11 A-4)
+
+`DELETE /v1/auth/keys/{id}/roles/{role_id}` runs in one of two modes,
+selected by presence of the optional query parameters:
+
+- **No query params (legacy "revoke all variants")** — every scoped grant of
+  this role held by this actor is dropped. Idempotent: zero-row deletes
+  return 204 (no error). This is the pre-A-4 behaviour and remains the
+  default for the CLI / GUI buttons that don't know about scope.
+
+  ```bash
+  # Drop EVERY variant of r-operator from alice (global, profile-scoped,
+  # issuer-scoped — all gone).
+  curl -X DELETE https://certctl.example.com/api/v1/auth/keys/alice/roles/r-operator
+  ```
+
+- **`?scope_type=` (+ optional `?scope_id=`)** — drop ONE variant. Used
+  when an actor holds the same role at multiple scopes (HIGH-10 made
+  that representable; A-4 makes it selectively revocable).
+  `scope_type=global` requires `scope_id` to be absent; `scope_type=profile`
+  / `issuer` require `scope_id`. No match returns 404 so operators get
+  feedback when they target a scope variant the actor doesn't hold.
+
+  ```bash
+  # Alice holds r-operator scoped to p-acme AND p-globex.
+  # Drop ONLY the p-acme grant; the p-globex grant stays.
+  curl -X DELETE 'https://certctl.example.com/api/v1/auth/keys/alice/roles/r-operator?scope_type=profile&scope_id=p-acme'
+
+  # Drop ONLY the global grant of r-operator (keeps any profile / issuer variants):
+  curl -X DELETE 'https://certctl.example.com/api/v1/auth/keys/alice/roles/r-operator?scope_type=global'
+  ```
+
+The audit row's `details` payload records which mode fired —
+`scope: "all_variants"` for the legacy path, or the explicit
+`scope_type` + `scope_id` for selective revoke — so SOC / SIEM can
+distinguish wide cleanups from targeted demotions in the access log.
+
+### From the MCP server
+
+The MCP server ships 12 RBAC tools:
+`certctl_auth_me`, `certctl_auth_list_roles`, `certctl_auth_get_role`,
+`certctl_auth_create_role`, `certctl_auth_update_role`,
+`certctl_auth_delete_role`, `certctl_auth_list_permissions`,
+`certctl_auth_add_permission_to_role`,
+`certctl_auth_remove_permission_from_role`,
+`certctl_auth_list_keys`, `certctl_auth_assign_role_to_key`,
+`certctl_auth_revoke_role_from_key`. Each routes through the same
+HTTP surface above; permission gates fire server-side.
+
+## The auditor pattern
+
+Hand the auditor key to compliance reviewers. They get:
+
+- `GET /api/v1/audit?category=auth` - every auth/authz mutation
+  in the system (role creates, role grants on actors, bootstrap
+  consumption, etc.).
+- `GET /api/v1/audit?category=cert_lifecycle` - every cert event.
+- `GET /api/v1/audit?category=config` - every issuer / target /
+  settings edit.
+- `GET /api/v1/audit/export` - bulk export.
+
+They do NOT get cert read, profile read, issuer read, or any
+mutating permission. The categorization is enforced by the database
+CHECK constraint (migration 000032); the WORM trigger from
+migration 000018 keeps the audit table append-only at the DB layer.
+
+To create an auditor key:
+
+1. `certctl-cli auth keys assign <key-id> --role r-auditor`
+2. (Optional) Revoke any other roles the key holds with
+   `certctl-cli auth keys revoke <key-id> --role r-...`
+3. Confirm via `certctl-cli auth me` while authenticated as the
+   auditor key - the response should show only `audit.read` and
+   `audit.export` in `effective_permissions`.
+
+## Day-0 bootstrap (first-admin path)
+
+certctl ships a one-shot bootstrap endpoint for fresh
+deployments where no admin actor exists yet.
+
+1. Set `CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN=$(openssl rand -hex 32)` in the
+   server environment.
+2. Boot the server. Logs include
+   "bootstrap endpoint enabled - POST /api/v1/auth/bootstrap to
+   mint the first admin key (one-shot)" when the path is callable.
+3. Run a single curl:
+
+   ```bash
+   curl -X POST $URL/api/v1/auth/bootstrap \
+     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+     -d '{"token":"<the-token>","actor_name":"first-admin"}'
+   ```
+
+4. Capture the `key_value` from the response. **It is shown ONCE.**
+   The server never logs it.
+5. Use the new key to authenticate against the rest of the API.
+   The bootstrap path is now closed: subsequent calls return HTTP
+   410 Gone, even with the same valid token, because an admin
+   actor exists.
+
+The token is constant-time-compared. The server logs a startup
+warning if `CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN` is set AND admin actors
+already exist (config-drift signal). For the OIDC-first-admin
+path (the "first user who signs in via SSO becomes admin"
+pattern), see
+[`docs/migration/oidc-enable.md`](../migration/oidc-enable.md).
+
+## Demo mode (`CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=none`)
+
+When auth is disabled, the server injects a synthetic actor
+`actor-demo-anon` into every request context. That actor holds
+`r-admin` at global scope (seeded by migration 000029), so every
+gated route resolves with a populated actor and admin grants. The
+synthetic actor is reserved: the API rejects any mutation that
+targets it (HTTP 409 with `ErrAuthReservedActor`).
+
+Production deployments MUST NOT use demo mode - there is no
+per-request actor identity for the audit trail, and every request
+flows as admin. Use it for the `docker compose up` demo + the five
+example folders only.

+
+### Role-based authorization
+
+Role-based authorization runs on top of API-key authentication. Every
+gated handler routes through the `auth.RequirePermission` middleware
+(or its router-level wrap `rbacGate`); the middleware resolves the
+actor's effective permissions via the service-layer
+`Authorizer.CheckPermission` and returns HTTP 403 BEFORE the handler
+body runs on miss. The seven default roles (`admin` / `operator` /
+`viewer` / `agent` / `mcp` / `cli` / `auditor`), 33-permission
+canonical catalogue, and the auditor split (`r-auditor` holds only
+`audit.read` + `audit.export`) are seeded by migration 000029.
+
+For the operator how-to, see [`rbac.md`](rbac.md). For the
+threat model + compliance mapping, see
+[`auth-threat-model.md`](auth-threat-model.md). For the upgrade
+flow from an API-key-only deployment, see
+[`docs/migration/api-keys-to-rbac.md`](../migration/api-keys-to-rbac.md).
+
+### Day-0 admin bootstrap
+
+Fresh deployments where no admin actor exists yet can mint the
+first admin via `POST /api/v1/auth/bootstrap` - set
+`CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN`, POST a single curl with the token, and
+the server returns the plaintext key value once. The token is
+constant-time-compared; the strategy is one-shot via mutex; the
+admin-existence probe re-closes the path once an admin lands.
+The token is NEVER logged. The minted plaintext key flows only
+into the HTTP response body. See
+[`rbac.md`](rbac.md#day-0-bootstrap-first-admin-path) for the
+full flow.
+
+### Approval-bypass closure
+
+`CertificateProfile.RequiresApproval=true` profiles route both
+issuance/renewal AND profile edits through the
+`ApprovalService` two-person integrity gate. The flip-flop loophole
+(an admin disabling approval, mutating, re-enabling) is closed by
+gating profile-edit through the same approval flow. Same-actor
+self-approve is rejected at the service layer with
+`ErrApproveBySameActor`. See
+[`docs/reference/profiles.md`](../reference/profiles.md) for the
+full gate semantics.
+
+### OIDC federation
+
+OIDC SSO runs on top of the API-key + RBAC foundation. Operators
+configure one or more identity providers (Keycloak, Authentik, Okta,
+Auth0, Entra ID, or Google Workspace via Keycloak broker); end users
+sign in at the IdP, certctl validates the returned ID token, and a
+session cookie is minted.
+
+The token-validation pipeline pins:
+
+- Algorithm allow-list: RS256 / RS512 / ES256 / ES384 / EdDSA only.
+  HS256 / HS384 / HS512 / `none` are rejected at the service-layer
+  sentinel level.
+- IdP-downgrade-attack defense at provider creation AND every
+  RefreshKeys: the IdP's advertised
+  `id_token_signing_alg_values_supported` is intersected with the
+  allow-list; a provider that advertises HS-family is rejected
+  before any token is signed under the weak alg.
+- Exact `iss` match (`ErrIssuerMismatch`).
+- `aud` membership + `azp` for multi-aud tokens (per OIDC core
+  §3.1.3.7 step 5).
+- `at_hash` REQUIRED-when-access_token-present (a tightening of the
+  spec MAY → MUST so a substituted access token cannot ride alongside
+  a clean ID token).
+- Single-use state + nonce (32-byte random server-generated;
+  atomic `DELETE...RETURNING` on consume).
+- PKCE-S256 mandatory; `plain` rejected.
+- Configurable `iat` window (default 300s, capped 600s).
+- JWKS cache with operator-triggered RefreshKeys + auto-refresh on
+  TTL expiry (default 3600s); JWKS-fetch failure during a key
+  rotation returns 503 to the in-flight login (existing sessions
+  untouched).
+
+OIDC `client_secret` is encrypted at rest via AES-256-GCM (v3 blob
+format: magic 0x03 + salt(16) + nonce(12) + ciphertext+tag) using
+the `CERTCTL_CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY` passphrase. The encryption
+invariant is pinned by an integration test
+(`internal/repository/postgres/oidc_encryption_invariant_test.go`)
+that asserts ciphertext != plaintext + correct blob shape +
+round-trip recovery + wrong-passphrase fails.
+
+Per-IdP setup guides at
+[`oidc-runbooks/index.md`](oidc-runbooks/index.md) cover Keycloak,
+Authentik, Okta, Auth0, Entra ID, and Google Workspace.
+
+### Sessions + back-channel logout
+
+Successful OIDC login mints a session cookie:
+`v1.<session_id>.<signing_key_id>.<base64url-no-pad(HMAC-SHA256)>`.
+The HMAC input is **length-prefixed** as `len:sid:len:kid` to defeat
+concatenation-collision attacks on bare-concat designs. Cookie
+attributes:
+
+- `HttpOnly=true` (no JS access; defends XSS cookie theft).
+- `Secure=true` (HTTPS-only; defends network MITM).
+- `SameSite=Lax` default (configurable to Strict via
+  `CERTCTL_SESSION_SAMESITE`).
+- `Path=/`, host-only.
+
+Idle timeout default 1h; absolute timeout default 8h; both
+configurable via `CERTCTL_SESSION_IDLE_TIMEOUT` and
+`CERTCTL_SESSION_ABSOLUTE_TIMEOUT`. The scheduler's
+`sessionGCLoop` (default 1h interval) sweeps expired rows.
+
+CSRF defense: plaintext CSRF token in the JS-readable
+`certctl_csrf` cookie (intentionally `HttpOnly=false` for the GUI
+to echo into the `X-CSRF-Token` header); SHA-256 hash on the
+session row; `subtle.ConstantTimeCompare` in `CSRFMiddleware`.
+API-key actors are CSRF-exempt (no session row in context).
+
+Session signing keys rotate via `RotateSigningKey`; the old key
+stays valid for `CERTCTL_SESSION_SIGNING_KEY_RETENTION` (default
+24h) so existing cookies validate during rollover. Past retention,
+the old key's row is dropped and any cookie still signed under it
+returns `ErrSigningKeyNotFound`. `EnsureInitialSigningKey` is
+fail-fatal at server boot.
+
+Back-channel logout per **OpenID Connect Back-Channel Logout 1.0**
+(NOT RFC 8414): `POST /auth/oidc/back-channel-logout` accepts a
+JWT-signed logout token from the IdP, validates the JWT against
+the IdP's JWKS (same alg allow-list as login), pins required
+claims (`iss` / `aud` / `iat` / `jti` / `events`; exactly one of
+`sub` / `sid`; `nonce` MUST be absent), defeats replay via
+`jti`-based deduplication, and revokes matching sessions.
+
+For threat-model coverage of these surfaces, see
+[`auth-threat-model.md`](auth-threat-model.md). For the
+operator-runnable performance baselines, see
+[`auth-benchmarks.md`](auth-benchmarks.md).
+
+### OIDC first-admin bootstrap
+
+Coexists with the env-var-token bootstrap path. When the
+operator sets `CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_GROUPS` + (optionally)
+`CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_OIDC_PROVIDER_ID`, the first user with one of
+those IdP groups becomes admin on first login per tenant.
+Subsequent users go through normal mapping. The admin-existence
+probe ensures only one wins between the two bootstrap paths;
+once any actor holds `r-admin`, the OIDC bootstrap hook silently
+falls through to normal mapping. Audit row on every grant
+(`bootstrap.oidc_first_admin`, `event_category=auth`).
+
+### Break-glass admin
+
+Default-OFF (`CERTCTL_BREAKGLASS_ENABLED=false`). When enabled,
+the local-password admin path bypasses OIDC + group-claim layers;
+intended ONLY for SSO-broken incidents.
+
+- Argon2id with OWASP 2024 params (m=64 MiB, t=3, p=4, 16-byte
+  salt, 32-byte output, per-password random salt, PHC-format
+  hash). Hash column is `json:"-"` so handlers cannot wire-leak.
+- Lockout state machine: 5 failures (default; configurable via
+  `CERTCTL_BREAKGLASS_LOCKOUT_THRESHOLD`) within 1h reset window
+  (`_LOCKOUT_RESET_INTERVAL`) trips a 30s lockout (`_LOCKOUT_DURATION`).
+  Atomic single-statement IncrementFailure defeats concurrent
+  racing attempts.
+- Constant-time across all failure paths via `verifyDummy()` —
+  wrong-password / locked-account / no-actor all take statistically
+  indistinguishable time.
+- Surface invisibility: when disabled, ALL four endpoints return
+  HTTP 404 (NOT 403). Scanners cannot distinguish "endpoint
+  disabled" from "endpoint doesn't exist".
+- WARN log at server boot when `ENABLED=true`; audit row on every
+  break-glass login (`auth.breakglass_login_*`,
+  `event_category=auth`); WebAuthn/FIDO2 second factor pairing
+  on the v3 roadmap (Decision 12).
+
+Operator should DISABLE break-glass within 24h of SSO recovery
+to avoid a permanent backdoor; the runbook at
+[`auth-threat-model.md#break-glass-risks-phase-75`](auth-threat-model.md)
+documents the full state machine.
+
+### Demo-to-production cutover (Audit 2026-05-11 A-8)
+
+Migration `000029_rbac.up.sql` unconditionally seeds an
+`actor-demo-anon → r-admin` row into `actor_roles`. This row is the
+runtime principal injected by the demo-mode middleware when
+`CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=none`. Under any non-`none` auth type the row is
+DORMANT — the middleware chain never resolves to it. But its existence
+is a footgun: a future regression that resolves an unauthenticated
+request to `actor-demo-anon` (a misrouted CORS preflight, a fallback in
+a new auth-exempt route) would silently re-elevate to admin.
+
+certctl-server detects this residue at startup and emits a WARN log +
+an `auth.demo_residual_grants_detected` audit row listing every grant
+present on `actor-demo-anon`. **Every production deploy will see this
+WARN on first boot** — the migration baseline is part of the install,
+not a side effect of running demo mode.
+
+Operator workflow at production cutover:
+
+1. Drain the WARN by calling the cleanup endpoint with an admin API key:
+
+   ```bash
+   curl -X POST --cacert deploy/test/certs/ca.crt \
+        -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADMIN_KEY" \
+        https://certctl.example.com:8443/api/v1/auth/demo-residual/cleanup
+   # → {"removed": 1}
+   ```
+
+   The endpoint is gated `auth.role.assign` (admin-class) and refuses
+   to run when `CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=none` (HTTP 503 — the residue IS the
+   active runtime state at that auth type). The cleanup is idempotent;
+   a second call returns `{"removed": 0}` and still leaves an audit row.
+
+   Equivalent SQL for operators preferring direct DB access:
+
+   ```sql
+   DELETE FROM actor_roles WHERE actor_id = 'actor-demo-anon';
+   ```
+
+2. To make subsequent boots refuse startup if the row reappears (the
+   most paranoid stance), set:
+
+   ```
+   CERTCTL_DEMO_MODE_RESIDUAL_STRICT=true
+   ```
+
+   With the flag set, any `actor-demo-anon` row under a non-`none`
+   auth type causes certctl-server to log the WARN AND exit non-zero

+# Authentication standards implemented
+
+> Last reviewed: 2026-05-10
+
+This document is an honest informational reference for operators, external testers, and acquirers who want to know which RFCs and standards certctl's authentication surface (API keys + RBAC + OIDC + sessions + back-channel logout + break-glass admin) implements, and which CWE weakness classes the implementation closes. Every row points at a real file or migration in this repository.
+
+This document is intentionally NOT a compliance-mapping doc. The operator retired the framework-mapping subtree (`docs/compliance/{index,soc2,pci-dss,nist-sp-800-57}.md`) on 2026-05-05; framework-name-drops (SOC 2 / PCI-DSS / HIPAA / NIST SSDF / FedRAMP) are also swept from prose mentions across `README.md` and `docs/` per that decision. RFC and CWE references stay because they are precise technical pointers; framework labels were marketing-flavored and prone to overclaim. If you are an auditor mapping certctl's controls to a framework, treat the rows below as evidence and do the framework mapping yourself against the framework you are auditing against.
+
+For the wider security posture, see [`security.md`](../operator/security.md). For the threat model behind these controls, see [`auth-threat-model.md`](../operator/auth-threat-model.md). For the per-IdP setup guides, see [`oidc-runbooks/index.md`](../operator/oidc-runbooks/index.md).
+
+## Table 1: RFCs and standards implemented end-to-end
+
+Each row carries at least one negative test (a test that asserts the fail-closed branch fires when a malformed input violates the spec).
+
+| Standard | What we implement | Source | Negative-test anchor |

+| RFC 7633 (X.509 TLS Feature Extension; Must-Staple) | Per-profile certctl issuance flag; out-of-scope for the auth surface but cited here because RFC 7633 OID `id-pe-tlsfeature` is in the same crypto-stack umbrella | `internal/connector/issuer/local/local.go` | SCEP master-bundle must-staple tests; not auth-surface territory |

+- CWE-285 (Improper Authorization) — defended by the RequirePermission middleware + Authorizer.CheckPermission service-layer call. Pinned by 90+ tests across `internal/auth/` and `internal/service/auth/`.
+- CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) — pinned by `phase12_protocol_allowlist_test.go` (asserts protocol endpoints are explicitly allowlisted, NOT silently bypassing the gate).
+- CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization) — pinned by the auditor-split invariant in `internal/domain/auth/auditor_test.go` (auditor role holds exactly `audit.read` + `audit.export` ONLY).
+- CWE-732 (Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource) — five admin-only fine-grained perms (`cert.bulk_revoke`, `crl.admin`, `scep.admin`, `est.admin`, `ca.hierarchy.manage`) seeded into `r-admin` only; pinned by migration 000030 + `r-admin`-only seed test.

+## What this document is NOT
+
+To preserve the operator's 2026-05-05 retired-compliance-docs decision:
+
+- This is NOT a SOC 2 / PCI-DSS / HIPAA / NIST SP 800-53 / NIST SSDF / FedRAMP framework-mapping doc.
+- This is NOT a marketing claim that certctl "satisfies CC6.1" or "complies with §164.312(a)(2)(iii)" or any similar framework label.
+- This IS an evidence list. An auditor doing framework mapping for their own compliance purposes can use this list as the source-of-truth pointer, then map each row to the framework control they are auditing against under their own judgment.
+
+If you are an external tester, an operator's auditor, or an acquirer doing technical diligence, this document gives you concrete file paths to read and concrete tests to run. If you want a framework-mapping document, build it yourself against the rows here using the framework-mapping methodology your audit firm prescribes; this project does not own that mapping.

+# Certificate profiles
+
+> Last reviewed: 2026-05-09
+
+A `CertificateProfile` is the policy object that groups every cert with
+the same shape: which issuer mints it, which key algorithm + size are
+allowed, what EKUs and SANs the issuer should emit, what renewal
+window the scheduler uses, what targets get the cert deployed to. Every
+managed certificate references exactly one profile; changing a
+profile's policy retroactively affects renewal of every cert pointing
+at it.
+
+This file documents the profile lifecycle as it stands at v2.1.0.
+For the schema, see `migrations/000003_certificate_profiles.up.sql` +
+`migrations/000027_approval_workflow.up.sql` +
+`migrations/000033_approval_kinds.up.sql`. For the API surface,
+see `api/openapi.yaml` under `/api/v1/profiles`.

+## Anatomy
+
+| Field | Default | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `id` | autogenerated `prof-<slug>` | Stable opaque identifier; used by every other resource. |
+| `name` | required | Human-readable label; rendered in the GUI's profile picker. |
+| `issuer_id` | required | Which issuer (Local / Vault / EJBCA / ACME / SCEP / EST / ADCS / etc.) mints certs against this profile. |
+| `default_validity_days` | 90 | Rendered into the issuer call as the requested NotAfter delta. |
+| `renewal_window_days` | 30 | Scheduler enqueues a renewal Job when `cert.NotAfter - now < renewal_window_days`. |
+| `allowed_key_algorithms` | RSA 2048+, ECDSA P-256+ | Validates incoming CSRs at issuance time. |
+| `allowed_ekus` | server, client | RFC 5280 §4.2.1.12 EKU set. |
+| `must_staple` | false | Per-profile RFC 7633 `id-pe-tlsfeature` extension toggle. |
+| `requires_approval` | false | Gates issuance + renewal AND profile edits behind a four-eyes approval workflow. See below. |

+## RequiresApproval and the approval workflow
+
+Setting `requires_approval=true` on a profile does two things:
+
+1. **Issuance + renewal of every cert pointing at the profile gates
+   on a non-requester admin's approval.** The scheduler enqueues a
+   `Job` at status `AwaitingApproval`; the linked
+   `issuance_approval_requests` row stays at `pending` until either
+   approved (job → `Pending`, scheduler dispatches) or rejected (job
+   → `Cancelled`). Same actor cannot self-approve.
+2. **Edits to the profile itself gate on a non-requester admin's
+   approval.** This is the closure for the flip-flop
+   loophole - without it an admin could set `requires_approval=false`,
+   mutate any other field, set `requires_approval=true`, and the
+   approval workflow would only have been bypassed during the
+   "off" window. The profile-edit gate fires under three conditions:
+ - The live profile has `requires_approval=true` AND the operator
+     submits any edit (regardless of whether the edit changes the
+     flag).
+ - The live profile has `requires_approval=false` AND the operator
+     submits an edit that would set it to `true` (the flag-flip
+     direction is gated too because otherwise the gate could be
+     enabled by anyone and have no review).
+ - Both arms route through `ApprovalService.RequestProfileEditApproval`
+     which writes a row to `issuance_approval_requests` with
+     `approval_kind=profile_edit`. The pending profile diff is
+     serialized to `payload` (JSONB).
+
+**Edit response shape.** When the gate fires, `PUT /api/v1/profiles/{id}`
+returns HTTP 202 Accepted with body
+`{"status":"pending_approval","pending_approval_id":"ar-…"}`.
+The operator copies the approval ID, hands it to a peer admin, and
+the peer POSTs `/api/v1/approvals/{id}/approve` with their own
+credentials. On approve, the server deserializes `payload`, applies
+the diff against the live profile, and emits a
+`profile.edit_applied` audit row with `event_category=auth`. On
+reject, the pending row is dropped; the live profile is unchanged.
+
+**Same-actor self-approve is rejected** with HTTP 403 and the existing
+`ErrApproveBySameActor` sentinel. This is the load-bearing
+two-person-integrity invariant that satisfies SOC 2 CC6.3 + NIST
+SSDF PO.5.2.
+
+**Bypass mode.** `CERTCTL_APPROVAL_BYPASS=true` short-circuits both
+issuance approvals and profile-edit approvals; every request
+auto-approves with `actor=system-bypass`. Used by dev / CI for fast
+iteration; production deploys MUST leave it unset. A single SQL
+query (`SELECT FROM audit_events WHERE actor='system-bypass'`)
+confirms zero rows.
+
+## Operator workflows
+
+**Enable approval for an existing profile.** Edit the profile, set
+`requires_approval=true`. The first time you do this, the edit
+itself is gated (the live profile is non-approval but the proposed
+state is approval-tier, so the flip-on direction still routes through
+the workflow). Hand the approval ID to a peer; once approved, every
+subsequent edit and every renewal of every cert pointing at the
+profile gates on the workflow.
+
+**Disable approval.** Edit the profile, set `requires_approval=false`.
+This edit is gated because the live profile is currently
+approval-tier. A peer must approve the disable. Once disabled,
+subsequent edits flow through the direct-apply path again.
+
+**Audit who approved what.** The audit trail records every approval
+request + decision under `event_category=auth`. Filter via
+`GET /api/v1/audit?category=auth` or the `auditor` role's
+audit-only view. Each row carries the approval ID + the requester
++ the decider; the WORM trigger prevents tampering.
