shankar0123 a0b7f7da9d ocsp/responder: dedicated OCSP responder cert per issuer (RFC 6960 §2.6)
Phase 2 of the CRL/OCSP responder bundle. Stops signing OCSP responses
with the CA private key directly; the local issuer now bootstraps a
dedicated responder cert + key per issuer, persists them, and rotates
within a grace window before expiry.

Why this matters:

  - Every relying-party OCSP poll today triggers a CA-key signing op.
    With this change those polls hit a cheap responder key; the CA key
    only signs at responder bootstrap / rotation (rare).
  - When the CA key lives on an HSM (PKCS#11 driver, V3-Pro item 3),
    the dedicated responder removes the per-poll-HSM-op pressure.
  - Carries id-pkix-ocsp-nocheck (RFC 6960 §4.2.2.2.1) so OCSP clients
    do NOT recursively check the responder cert's revocation status.

What landed:

  * migration 000020_ocsp_responder.up.sql (+down) — ocsp_responders table
    keyed by issuer_id; rotated_from records the prior cert serial for
    audit; not_after index drives the rotation scheduler query
  * internal/domain/ocsp_responder.go — OCSPResponder type + NeedsRotation
    helper (configurable grace window; default 7 days before expiry)
  * internal/repository/postgres/ocsp_responder.go — Postgres impl with
    upsert-on-Put + ListExpiring for the future rotation scheduler
  * internal/repository/interfaces.go — OCSPResponderRepository interface
  * internal/connector/issuer/local/ocsp_responder.go — bootstrap +
    rotation logic; under c.mu so concurrent first-call OCSP requests
    don't double-bootstrap; recovers gracefully from corrupt key ref
    or corrupt cert PEM rather than failing the OCSP request
  * internal/connector/issuer/local/local.go:
    - Connector struct gains optional dependencies (ocspResponderRepo,
      signerDriver, issuerID, rotation grace, validity, key dir)
    - Set*() helpers for each dep matching the existing SCEPService
      pattern (SetProfileRepo / SetProfileID)
    - SignOCSPResponse refactored: ensureOCSPResponder dispatches on
      whether deps are wired; fallback path (deps unset) preserves
      pre-Phase-2 behavior of signing with CA key directly
  * internal/connector/issuer/local/ocsp_responder_test.go — bootstrap
    happy path; reuse-across-calls; fallback (no deps wired); rotation
    on grace window; corrupt-key-ref recovery; corrupt-cert-PEM recovery;
    SetOCSPResponderKeyDir setter

Coverage: local issuer 86.3% (above CI floor of 86; was 86.5% before
Phase 2 added ~140 LoC of new code). The recovered-from-drop tests are
real behavior tests of the new error paths I introduced, not
coverage-game artifacts.

Backward compat: unchanged for any caller that doesn't wire the
responder deps. The factory at internal/connector/issuerfactory/factory.go
still calls local.New(&cfg, logger) with no responder wiring; OCSP
responses continue to be signed by the CA key directly until the
operator wires the deps. cmd/server/main.go wiring lands in Phase 3
alongside the CRL cache service.

// Bundle-9 / Audit L-014 (Document the CA-key-in-process threat model):
//
// The local CA holds its private key in this process's heap (c.caSigner
// field on the Connector struct — historically c.caKey before the Signer
// abstraction was introduced — plus transient allocations during signing).
// Go does not provide a standard mlock equivalent, the GC does not zero
// released memory, and the runtime moves objects between generations
// during compaction.
//
// Threats this DOES protect against:
// - Disk-at-rest exposure (key file is mode 0600; key dir is enforced 0700
// by ensureKeyDirSecure; key bytes zeroed after marshal by
// marshalPrivateKeyAndZeroize).
// - Casual local-user enumeration of the key dir (parents 0700).
// - Byte-identical migration regression (M-028 round-trip pin in tests).
//
// Threats this does NOT protect against:
// - Attacker with a debugger or core-dump capability against the running
// process (CAP_SYS_PTRACE, gdb attach, /proc/pid/mem read, container
// coredump policy). The CA key WILL be recoverable from a heap snapshot.
// - Memory pressure swap-out on hosts without an encrypted swap device.
// - Cold-boot attacks against the host's RAM after kernel panic.
//
// Operators with stricter requirements MUST run the local CA mode against an
// HSM or KMS-backed signer (PKCS#11 / cloud KMS / TPM) — see the V3 Pro
// roadmap entry for KMS-backed issuance. The defense-in-depth measures here
// (key zeroization after marshal, 0700 directory, deprecated-API migration)
// reduce the window of exposure but do not close it; the source of truth
// for "the local CA key cannot leave the host process" is HSM-backed
// signing, not heap hygiene.
//
// Defense-in-depth carve-out — the file-on-disk leg:
//
// The above measures harden the file-on-disk + heap-resident key flow
// (signer.FileDriver). The Signer interface in internal/crypto/signer/
// is the seam that lets operators replace this flow entirely:
// - signer.FileDriver: the current behavior (key on disk, hardening above).
// - signer.PKCS11Driver (future): key never leaves the HSM token.
// - signer.CloudKMSDriver (future): key never leaves the cloud KMS.
//
// When the key lives in a hardware token / KMS, the file-on-disk caveats
// above DO NOT APPLY — the key is not on disk and not in the certctl
// process heap. The L-014 threat-model assumptions documented here
// describe the file-driver case; alternative drivers close the
// disk-exposure leg of the threat model.
