shankar0123 2419f8cd27 docs(features): reconcile env-var inventory with config.go (G-3 master)
Closes three 2026-04-24 audit findings (all P2, all category cat-g):

  - cat-g-renewal_check_interval_rename_drift: features.md:152
    advertised CERTCTL_RENEWAL_CHECK_INTERVAL but config.go renamed
    that to CERTCTL_SCHEDULER_RENEWAL_CHECK_INTERVAL. Fixed in prose
    + the scheduler-loops table on line 1117.

  - cat-g-b8f8f8796159: 6 env vars in config.go that were never
    documented:
      CERTCTL_DATABASE_MIGRATIONS_PATH
      CERTCTL_JOB_AWAITING_APPROVAL_TIMEOUT
      CERTCTL_JOB_AWAITING_CSR_TIMEOUT
      CERTCTL_SCHEDULER_AGENT_HEALTH_CHECK_INTERVAL
      CERTCTL_SCHEDULER_JOB_PROCESSOR_INTERVAL
      CERTCTL_SCHEDULER_NOTIFICATION_PROCESS_INTERVAL
    Added to the scheduler-loops table at features.md:1117 and
    (DATABASE_MIGRATIONS_PATH) to the new Database Schema preamble.

  - cat-g-163dae19bc59: 37 env vars in docs not defined in config.go.
    The audit's strict comm over-flagged this set: most "phantoms"
    are integration-surface contracts (script env vars certctl
    EXPORTS to user-provided ACME DNS-01 / OpenSSL CA scripts;
    StepCA / Webhook per-issuer-or-notifier config-blob field
    names; CERTCTL_QA_* test fixtures; agent-side env vars defined
    in cmd/agent/main.go). The closure narrows the gate to the
    one true phantom (the rename) and allowlists the documented
    integration contracts in the CI guard. Each allowlist entry
    has a one-line justification.

CI regression guardrail:
- .github/workflows/ci.yml::"Forbidden env-var docs drift regression
  guard (G-3)" — runs `comm -23` both ways between the env vars
  defined in Go source (config.go + cmd/* + ACME DNS export +
  test fixtures) and env vars mentioned in README + docs/ +
  deploy/helm/. Fails the build if either set is non-empty modulo
  the documented integration-surface allowlist.

Verification:
- comm -23 docs vs defined → empty post-fix (allowlist applied)
- comm -23 defined vs docs → empty post-fix
- golangci-lint v2.11.4 run ./... → 0 issues
- tsc --noEmit → clean
- S-1 stale-counts guardrail still passes

Audit findings closed:
- cat-g-163dae19bc59 (P2, docs-only env vars)
- cat-g-b8f8f8796159 (P2, config-only env vars)
- cat-g-renewal_check_interval_rename_drift (P2, renamed env var still in docs)

Deferred follow-ups:
- The 26 documented-but-unimplemented integration contracts on the
  allowlist (CERTCTL_OPENSSL_*, CERTCTL_ACME_EAB_*, CERTCTL_WEBHOOK_*,
  CERTCTL_AUDIT_EXCLUDE_PATHS, CERTCTL_TLS_*, CERTCTL_ACME_DNS_PROPAGATION_WAIT)
  are documented in features.md / connectors.md / demo-advanced.md but
  not yet read by any Go source. Either implement in config.go (each is
  its own M-X) or delete from docs (separate cleanup PR). Neither
  expansion fits inside G-3's "reconcile drift" scope.
