certctl-copilot 63d6ed256d docs: README + concepts + features reflect CRL/OCSP responder bundle
Audit pass against cowork/crl-ocsp-responder-prompt.md found three
operator-facing docs still describing the pre-bundle CRL/OCSP surface
(GET-only OCSP, CA-key-direct signing, no scheduler-driven cache). Each
claim updated below was ground-truthed against repo HEAD before edit.

README.md
  * Standards & Revocation table — CRL row now mentions
    scheduler-pre-generated cache (CERTCTL_CRL_GENERATION_INTERVAL,
    crl_cache table); OCSP row mentions GET + POST forms, dedicated
    responder cert per RFC 6960 §2.6, id-pkix-ocsp-nocheck per
    §4.2.2.2.1, 7d auto-rotation grace.
  * Revocation paragraph — corrected the 'Embedded OCSP responder'
    one-liner to call out the dedicated-responder-cert design (the CA
    private key is never used directly for OCSP signing, which is the
    load-bearing security property for the future PKCS#11/HSM driver
    path) and added the link to the relying-party guide.

docs/concepts.md
  * CRL paragraph — added the scheduler pre-generation + singleflight
    coalescing detail. Kept the existing 24h validity claim (verified
    against internal/connector/issuer/local/local.go:956 — 'NextUpdate:
    now.Add(24 * time.Hour)').
  * OCSP paragraph — corrected the description so it covers both GET
    and POST forms (POST per RFC 6960 §A.1.1 is what production
    clients use: Firefox, OpenSSL s_client -status, cert-manager,
    Intune); added the dedicated-responder-cert + nocheck-extension +
    auto-rotation explanation; cross-link to docs/crl-ocsp.md.

docs/features.md
  * Revocation Infrastructure section — CRL Endpoint, OCSP Responder,
    new Admin Cache Observability subsection, new GUI Revocation
    Endpoints Panel subsection. Corrected the previously-wrong 'Signs
    with the issuing CA key' OCSP claim — the bundle's load-bearing
    security improvement is exactly that the CA key is NOT used
    directly. Cross-link to crl-ocsp.md.
  * Local CA env vars table — added all four new
    CERTCTL_CRL_GENERATION_INTERVAL / CERTCTL_OCSP_RESPONDER_KEY_DIR
    (with the prod 'MUST set' callout) / _ROTATION_GRACE / _VALIDITY
    rows. Closes the G-3 'env var defined in Go but never documented'
    drift that broke CI on commit 0ffd9ea.
  * Migrations table — added 000019_crl_cache and 000020_ocsp_responder
    rows so the table reflects the bundle's persisted surface area;
    also clarified the table is illustrative + pointed readers at
    'ls migrations/*.up.sql' for the full sequence (the table had
    drifted behind reality at 000010 even before this bundle).

docs/architecture.md was already updated in commit 0a548aa with the
same content scope, so no further architecture edits.

Verification:
  * Local G-3 set difference: empty (Go-defined ∖ docs-mentioned for
    CRL/OCSP env vars).
  * 24h CRL validity claim verified against local.go:956 NextUpdate.
  * Migration numbers verified against 'ls migrations/000019* 000020*'.
  * id-pkix-ocsp-nocheck OID verified against
    internal/connector/issuer/local/ocsp_responder.go:60.
