shankar0123 d030c26914 fix(security): close BUNDLE 2 — safe first run, demo mode, agent bootstrap
Bundle 2 closure (2026-05-12 acquisition diligence audit). Closes the
"docker compose up == accidental production" hazard: pre-Bundle-2 the
base deploy/docker-compose.yml WAS the demo path (AUTH_TYPE=none +
DEMO_MODE_ACK=true + KEYGEN_MODE=server + DEMO_SEED=true + literal
change-me-... placeholder creds), the README claimed "drop the demo
overlay for a clean install", and ENVIRONMENTS.md table documented
auth-type default as api-key — three contradictory stories layered on
the same compose file.

Source findings closed:
  R2 R3 C1 D9 finding-2 S9               (repo audit)
  SEC-H2 SEC-M1 SEC-M3 OPS-M3 LOW-5 HIGH-6 (cowork audit)

Compose split (deploy/docker-compose.yml + deploy/docker-compose.demo.yml):
The base now ships production-shaped — no AUTH_TYPE override, no
KEYGEN_MODE override, no DEMO_MODE_ACK, no DEMO_SEED, no literal
placeholder fallbacks. POSTGRES_PASSWORD / CERTCTL_AUTH_SECRET /
CERTCTL_CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY / CERTCTL_API_KEY / CERTCTL_AGENT_ID
must come from deploy/.env (sample template in deploy/.env.example +
root .env.example). The demo overlay carries the full demo posture
(every env var + every placeholder credential) so the
`-f docker-compose.demo.yml` one-flag flip remains a zero-config
populated-dashboard path.

Fail-closed startup guards (internal/config/config.go::Validate):
Three new gates layered on the existing HIGH-12 demo-mode listen-bind
guard. All three exempt CERTCTL_DEMO_MODE_ACK=true so the demo overlay
keeps working:
  • HIGH-6:  AUTH_SECRET = "change-me-in-production"        → refuse
  • HIGH-6:  CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY = "change-me-32-char..." → refuse
  • LOW-5:   CORS_ORIGINS contains "*"  (CWE-942 + CWE-352) → refuse

Visible DEMO MODE banner (cmd/server/main.go): every boot under
DEMO_MODE_ACK=true now emits a prominent WARN line with a 6-step
production-promotion checklist. The 2026-04-19 incident (a screenshot
run that kept running for three days) drove this; the per-startup
banner makes the posture unmissable in any log scraper.

Agent enrollment doc alignment:
  • docs/reference/configuration.md L83: corrected the non-existent
    URL `POST /api/v1/agents/register` to the real route
    `POST /api/v1/agents`; added the bootstrap-token note and the
    install-agent.sh handoff sequence.
  • docs/reference/architecture.md L154: replaced "agents register
    themselves at first heartbeat" (false — cmd/agent/main.go fail-
    fasts when CERTCTL_AGENT_ID is unset) with the actual two-step
    operator-driven flow (REST or GUI registration first, returned ID
    fed to install-agent.sh second).

Tests + CI guard:
  • 9 new TestValidate_Bundle2_* cases in internal/config/config_test.go
    covering: placeholder-secret refused + demo-ack exempt; placeholder
    encryption-key refused + demo-ack exempt; real key not mistaken for
    placeholder; wildcard CORS refused + demo-ack exempt; wildcard mixed
    into a concrete allowlist still refused; concrete allowlist accepted.
  • scripts/ci-guards/B2-compose-base-no-demo-env.sh: greps the base
    compose for any of the demo-mode env vars + placeholder credentials.
    Comments stripped before checking so the narrative header in the
    base file can still reference the overlay's posture in prose.

Cold-DB CI smoke (.github/workflows/ci.yml::cold-db-compose-smoke):
Switched to layering -f docker-compose.demo.yml on top of the base —
the new production base requires real env vars the smoke doesn't have,
and the smoke's purpose (catch migration-on-cold-DB regressions + the
bootstrap-token mint path) is orthogonal to which auth posture the
boot lands in.

Remaining operator warnings (not blocking; tracked in CLAUDE.md
"Open decisions"):
  • The first `docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d` against a
    pre-Bundle-2 .env (placeholder values still in place) will now
    fail-fast. This is the intended posture but operators upgrading
    from v2.0.x via .env-from-old-master need to rotate before
    upgrading. The CHANGELOG note for the v2.1.0 release should
    call this out alongside Auth Bundle 2's other breaking changes.

# =============================================================================
# certctl DEMO overlay — Bundle 2 (2026-05-12)
# =============================================================================
#
# Layered on top of the production-shaped base (docker-compose.yml) to give
# operators a one-command, zero-config demo path:
#
# docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml \
# -f deploy/docker-compose.demo.yml up -d --build
#
# What this overlay does:
#
# 1. Flips CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=none + CERTCTL_DEMO_MODE_ACK=true. Every
# request is served as the synthetic admin actor `actor-demo-anon`;
# the server emits a prominent ⚠ DEMO MODE WARN banner at boot with
# a production-promotion checklist (cmd/server/main.go::emitDemoBanner).
#
# 2. Flips CERTCTL_KEYGEN_MODE=server (the demo issues + holds the key on
# the server to keep the dashboard populated; production deploys must
# use the default `agent` mode where keys never leave the agent box).
#
# 3. Flips CERTCTL_DEMO_SEED=true. The server applies migrations/seed_demo.sql
# at boot via postgres.RunDemoSeed AFTER baseline migrations + seed.sql,
# pre-seeding 180 days of simulated history across 13 issuers + 8 agents.
#
# 4. Supplies the change-me-... placeholder values for POSTGRES_PASSWORD,
# CERTCTL_API_KEY, CERTCTL_CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY, and CERTCTL_AGENT_ID
# so the demo runs without a deploy/.env file. The Bundle 2 fail-closed
# Validate() rejects these placeholders outside demo mode, so this only
# works alongside DEMO_MODE_ACK=true.
#
# U-3 history: pre-U-3 this overlay mounted seed_demo.sql into postgres
# `/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/`. That worked only because the production
# stack also mounted the migrations there. Once U-3 dropped the production
# initdb mounts (single source of truth: server runs RunMigrations + RunSeed
# at boot), the demo seed could no longer be applied at initdb time — the
# tables it references wouldn't exist yet. Post-U-3 the overlay just sets
# CERTCTL_DEMO_SEED=true; the server applies seed_demo.sql at boot via
# postgres.RunDemoSeed AFTER baseline migrations + seed.sql.
#
# Bundle 2 history: pre-Bundle-2 the base compose IS this demo path; this
# overlay was a single-flag thin shim. Bundle 2 split the demo env vars
# out of the base so `docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml up`
# (no overlay) boots production-shaped — which is what every operator
# reading the README quickstart line "drop the demo overlay for a clean
# install" expected. The overlay carries the full demo posture now.
#
# To start fresh (wipe previous data):
# docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml \
# -f deploy/docker-compose.demo.yml down -v
# docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml \
# -f deploy/docker-compose.demo.yml up -d --build

# Fixed weak password is intentional for the no-setup demo path.
