shankar0123 67f346cd87 docs(arch-h1): Phase 13 Sprint 13.1 — categorize OpenAPI exceptions + bucket guards
Phase 13 Sprint 13.1 closure (architecture diligence audit ARCH-H1):
splits api/openapi-handler-exceptions.yaml's 64 entries into two
buckets via a required `category:` field, extends the parity script
with bucket reporting + a `--bucket=` subcommand, and adds a sibling
monotonic-decrease guard pinned to a checked-in baseline file. Pure
YAML + bash + doc; zero runtime change.

Strategy
========
The audit originally framed ARCH-H1 as "burn down the 64-entry
exception list to ≤20." Sprint 13.1 reframes against the structural
reality: 36 of the 64 entries are legitimate IETF-RFC wire-protocol
contracts (SCEP RFC 8894, ACME RFC 8555, ACME ARI RFC 9773, EST
RFC 7030) that MUST stay; the remaining 28 are REST-shaped routes
whose OpenAPI op was deferred. Categorize the two buckets, monotone-
gate the rest-deferred bucket against a baseline, and Sprints
13.4-13.6 drive rest-deferred to zero.

Categorization rule applied per-entry
=====================================
An entry is `category: wire-protocol` if ANY of:
  1. `why:` cites an RFC anchor (RFC 8894 / 8555 / 9773 / 7030).
  2. `why:` contains the strings "wire-protocol", "wire protocol",
     "sibling", or "shorthand".
  3. Route path starts with `/scep`, `/scep-mtls`, `/acme/`, or
     `/acme` (wire-protocol prefix).
Otherwise: `category: rest-deferred`.

This rule produced the 36 / 28 split that the Sprint 13.1 audit
prompt expected — verified by python assertion + manual eyeball
review of every entry's `why:` field before categorizing.

Per-entry decisions (read off the post-categorization YAML)
===========================================================

WIRE-PROTOCOL (36) — RFC contracts; never burn down:

  SCEP family (8) — RFC 8894 + RFC 7030 SCEP-mTLS sibling:
    GET    /scep                  RFC 8894 §3.1 GetCACert / GetCACaps
    POST   /scep                  RFC 8894 §3.1 PKCSReq / RenewalReq
    GET    /scep/                 trailing-slash variant (ChromeOS)
    POST   /scep/                 trailing-slash variant (ChromeOS)
    GET    /scep-mtls             EST RFC 7030 Phase 6.5 sibling
    POST   /scep-mtls             SCEP-mTLS POST variant
    GET    /scep-mtls/            SCEP-mTLS trailing-slash variant
    POST   /scep-mtls/            SCEP-mTLS trailing-slash POST

  ACME per-profile (12) — RFC 8555 §7.x + RFC 9773 ARI:
    GET    /acme/profile/{id}/directory             RFC 8555 §7.1.1
    HEAD   /acme/profile/{id}/new-nonce             RFC 8555 §7.2
    GET    /acme/profile/{id}/new-nonce             RFC 8555 §7.2
    POST   /acme/profile/{id}/new-account           RFC 8555 §7.3
    POST   /acme/profile/{id}/account/{acc_id}      RFC 8555 §7.3.2/.6
    POST   /acme/profile/{id}/new-order             RFC 8555 §7.4
    POST   /acme/profile/{id}/order/{ord_id}        RFC 8555 §7.4 PoG
    POST   /acme/profile/{id}/order/{ord_id}/finalize  RFC 8555 §7.4
    POST   /acme/profile/{id}/authz/{authz_id}      RFC 8555 §7.5
    POST   /acme/profile/{id}/challenge/{chall_id}  RFC 8555 §7.5.1
    POST   /acme/profile/{id}/cert/{cert_id}        RFC 8555 §7.4.2
    POST   /acme/profile/{id}/key-change            RFC 8555 §7.3.5
    POST   /acme/profile/{id}/revoke-cert           RFC 8555 §7.6
    GET    /acme/profile/{id}/renewal-info/{cert_id} RFC 9773 ARI

  ACME default-profile shorthand (14) — sibling routes; same wire
  semantics, dispatched when CERTCTL_ACME_SERVER_DEFAULT_PROFILE_ID
  is set:
    GET    /acme/directory
    HEAD   /acme/new-nonce
    GET    /acme/new-nonce
    POST   /acme/new-account
    POST   /acme/account/{acc_id}
    POST   /acme/new-order
    POST   /acme/order/{ord_id}
    POST   /acme/order/{ord_id}/finalize
    POST   /acme/authz/{authz_id}
    POST   /acme/challenge/{chall_id}
    POST   /acme/cert/{cert_id}
    POST   /acme/key-change
    POST   /acme/revoke-cert
    GET    /acme/renewal-info/{cert_id}

REST-DEFERRED (28) — gaps; Sprints 13.4-13.6 author into openapi.yaml:

  auth/sessions cluster (3):
    GET    /api/v1/auth/sessions
    DELETE /api/v1/auth/sessions
    DELETE /api/v1/auth/sessions/{id}

  auth/oidc CRUD + JWKS + test + refresh cluster (10):

    GET    /api/v1/auth/oidc/group-mappings
    POST   /api/v1/auth/oidc/group-mappings
    DELETE /api/v1/auth/oidc/group-mappings/{id}

    GET    /api/v1/auth/runtime-config
    POST   /api/v1/auth/demo-residual/cleanup
    GET    /api/v1/audit/export

  OIDC + breakglass browser flows (5):

    GET    /auth/oidc/callback
    POST   /auth/oidc/back-channel-logout
    POST   /auth/logout
    POST   /auth/breakglass/login

Files changed
=============

api/openapi-handler-exceptions.yaml (+1 line per entry):
  - Header rewritten to document the two-bucket contract + the
    Phase 13 burn-down plan + the baseline-file convention.
  - Every existing `route:` + `why:` pair preserved verbatim.
  - `    category: <bucket>` line inserted after each `why:` line.
  - Pyyaml round-trip parses to 64 entries cleanly.

api/openapi-handler-exceptions-baseline.txt (NEW, 1 line):
  - Contains single integer `28` matching the current rest-deferred
    count. Sprints 13.4-13.6 decrement this in lockstep with each
    batch of OpenAPI ops authored.

scripts/ci-guards/openapi-handler-parity.sh (rewritten):
  - Reports `wire-protocol: N` + `rest-deferred: N` lines alongside
    the existing total.
  - New `--bucket=wire-protocol|rest-deferred` subcommand prints
    just the bucket count + exits 0. Used by the new monotonic
    guard + by Sprint 13.7's hard-floor pin.
  - New fail condition: any entry missing the required `category:`
    field, or carrying an unknown category value, fails the build
    with a clear ::error:: annotation.
  - Existing exit-code semantics preserved (drift / orphan / stale
    detection paths unchanged).

scripts/ci-guards/openapi-rest-deferred-monotonic.sh (NEW):
  - Reads the rest-deferred count via the parity script's --bucket
    subcommand.
  - Reads the baseline file at
    api/openapi-handler-exceptions-baseline.txt.
  - Fails with ::error:: if current count exceeds OR falls below the
    baseline. The fall-below path forces operators to update the
    baseline in the same commit as the corresponding YAML deletion
    — keeps the monotonic-decrease contract honest.
  - CI workflow auto-discovers any scripts/ci-guards/*.sh; no
    .github/workflows/ci.yml change required (verified — the loop
    at .github/workflows/ci.yml::Regression\ guards uses a glob).

scripts/ci-guards/README.md (+33 lines):
  - Two new entries in the per-finding regression-guards table for
    `openapi-handler-parity` (existing; bucket subcommand documented)
    and `openapi-rest-deferred-monotonic` (new).
  - New "ARCH-H1 OpenAPI exception two-bucket contract" section
    documenting the wire-protocol vs rest-deferred decision rule +
    the canonical close path for a rest-deferred entry (author op
    + delete exception + decrement baseline in same PR) + the
    bucket-count inspection commands.

Verification (all local, sandbox /sessions partition full so
disk-tmpfile-dependent guards skipped — see Hotfix #4 commit msg
for sandbox-disk context)

Negative test (corrupted baseline → guard fails):
  $ echo "abc" > api/openapi-handler-exceptions-baseline.txt
  $ bash scripts/ci-guards/openapi-rest-deferred-monotonic.sh
    ::error::api/openapi-handler-exceptions-baseline.txt must contain
    a single non-negative integer; got: 'abc'

Negative test (rest-deferred over baseline → guard fails):
  $ echo "27" > api/openapi-handler-exceptions-baseline.txt
  $ bash scripts/ci-guards/openapi-rest-deferred-monotonic.sh
    ::error::rest-deferred bucket grew: 28 > baseline 27.

Negative test (missing category → parity script fails):
  $ # delete first 'category: wire-protocol' line
  $ bash scripts/ci-guards/openapi-handler-parity.sh
    ::error::api/openapi-handler-exceptions.yaml: 1 entries missing
    required `category:` field:
      GET /scep

Ambiguous entries surfaced for operator review
==============================================
None. Every entry's category derived deterministically from the
3-rule decision tree (RFC anchor → wire-protocol; wire/sibling/
shorthand keyword in `why:` → wire-protocol; route prefix matches
wire-protocol family → wire-protocol; otherwise rest-deferred).

Closes: Phase 13 Sprint 13.1 of the certctl architecture diligence
remediation (ARCH-H1 structural categorization). Unblocks Sprints
13.4-13.6 (OpenAPI authoring batches against the rest-deferred
bucket).

scripts/ci-guards/ — Regression-guard scripts

Each <id>.sh script in this directory pins one closed audit finding from regressing. CI runs the full set on every push via the Regression guards step in .github/workflows/ci.yml. Operators can run any script locally:

bash scripts/ci-guards/G-3-env-docs-drift.sh

Contract

Every script in this directory MUST:

  1. Be exit-code 0 on a clean repo (no regression present).
  2. Be exit-code non-zero on regression, with a ::error:: annotation prefix so PR reviewers see the failing line in the GitHub Actions UI.
  3. Be runnable from repo root via bash scripts/ci-guards/<id>.sh with NO arguments and NO env-var requirements. The CI loop step (for g in scripts/ci-guards/*.sh; do bash "$g"; done) iterates every .sh here without args; any script that requires an arg or env var WILL fail in that loop.
  4. Carry a head-comment block matching the in-source justification from the original ci.yml entry: the audit-finding reference, the closure rationale, the exempt-surface list (if any).
  5. Use set -e early to fail-fast on internal command errors.
  6. Produce no output on the happy path beyond a final echo "<id>: clean." confirmation line.

Helpers vs guards

Scripts that consume input artifacts (a test-output log, a coverage.out file) or env vars (PR_NUMBER, GH_TOKEN) are HELPERS, not guards. They live in scripts/, NOT scripts/ci-guards/.

Current helpers:

  • scripts/vendor-e2e-skip-check.sh — consumes test-output.log arg from the deploy-vendor-e2e job
  • scripts/coverage-pr-comment.sh — consumes coverage.out + PR_NUMBER + GH_TOKEN env from the go-build-and-test job
  • scripts/check-coverage-thresholds.sh — consumes coverage.out
    • .github/coverage-thresholds.yml

Adding a new guard

  1. Drop a new <id>.sh in this directory with the head-comment block describing the audit finding it closes.
  2. Make it executable: chmod +x scripts/ci-guards/<id>.sh.
  3. Verify it fails on a deliberate regression and passes on clean repo.
  4. CI auto-picks up new scripts via the for g in scripts/ci-guards/*.sh loop in the Regression guards step — no ci.yml change required.

Guards in this directory

Count: re-derive on demand via ls scripts/ci-guards/*.sh | wc -l. The table below names each one — keep it in sync as guards are added.

Forward-looking guards (Auditable Codebase Bundle, post-v2.1.0 anti-rot)

These guards catch defect classes BEFORE they get audit findings — they pin invariants on the codebase that the v2.0 audit history showed are easy to lose.

ID Item Catches
complete-path-config-coverage post-v2.1.0 / item-1 "Lying field" — CERTCTL_* env var defined in internal/config/config.go that no consumer outside internal/config/ actually reads. Operator-facing config that the docs claim works but the code never honors. Companion Go test at internal/config/coverage_test.go.
doc-rot-detector post-v2.1.0 / item-5 Docs older than 90 days warn (yellow), older than 120 days fail (red). Uses HEAD commit timestamp for reproducibility. docs/archive/ allowlisted in bulk.

The cold-DB compose smoke (post-v2.1.0 / item-6) is NOT a script in this directory — it is inlined directly into .github/workflows/ci.yml::cold-db-compose-smoke because there is no value in a developer running it locally (the whole point of the gate is that CI owns the cold-DB state). To inspect or modify the smoke logic, read that workflow job; there is intentionally no scripts/ci-guards/cold-db-compose-smoke.sh.

The fourth Bundle artifact (internal/ciparity/) is Go tests, not shell guards — runs under the standard Go test step. Pins the MCP tool catalogue floor + naming convention; reports CLI/MCP/OpenAPI surface counts as a trend metric.

ARCH-H1 OpenAPI exception two-bucket contract (Phase 13 Sprint 13.1)

api/openapi-handler-exceptions.yaml lists every router route that is intentionally NOT in api/openapi.yaml. Each entry carries a required category: field with one of two values:

  • category: wire-protocol — the route's wire shape is dictated by an IETF RFC (SCEP RFC 8894, ACME RFC 8555, ACME ARI RFC 9773, EST RFC 7030) or it's a sibling/shorthand variant of one. The canonical reference for these endpoints lives in docs/acme-server.md + docs/operator/scep.md + docs/operator/est.md — duplicating their wire contract in openapi.yaml would add no information. Wire-protocol entries never burn down.

  • category: rest-deferred — the route is REST-shaped (resource CRUD, JSON request/response, RBAC-gated) but its OpenAPI operation was deferred when the handler shipped. Rest-deferred entries must monotonically decrease to zero. Authoring an OpenAPI op for a deferred route + deleting the corresponding exception entry + decrementing api/openapi-handler-exceptions-baseline.txt in the same PR is the canonical close path.

Adding a new exception entry

The default category for new entries is rest-deferred. Only set wire-protocol when:

  1. The why: field cites a specific RFC anchor (e.g. "RFC 8555 §7.1.1 directory"), AND
  2. The route's wire shape is dictated by the RFC (not a REST resource that happens to live alongside one).

When in doubt, default to rest-deferred and author the OpenAPI op. The two guards in this directory enforce both buckets:

  • openapi-handler-parity.sh reports bucket counts + fails on missing/unknown category: fields + fails on stale exceptions / undocumented router routes.
  • openapi-rest-deferred-monotonic.sh fails if rest-deferred grows vs the baseline file at api/openapi-handler-exceptions-baseline.txt.
