shankar0123 0161bb201c docs: remove internal engineering docs; docs must be tool- or story-relevant
Operator policy: docs in the public repo must help (a) a user
deploying certctl or (b) the product story. Internal engineering
process documentation belongs in cowork/ scratchpads or in git
commit history, not docs/.

Removed (docs/contributor/, 8 files, 2,323 lines):
  - release-sign-off.md         — internal release-day checklist
  - ci-pipeline.md              — what runs in CI (internal)
  - ci-guards.md                — what the guards are (internal)
  - testing-strategy.md         — internal testing strategy
  - qa-test-suite.md            — internal QA reference (445 lines)
  - qa-prerequisites.md         — internal QA setup
  - gui-qa-checklist.md         — manual GUI QA checklist
  - test-environment.md         — 1,103-line redundant with
                                  docs/getting-started/quickstart.md +
                                  docs/getting-started/advanced-demo.md

Removed supporting script:
  - scripts/qa-doc-seed-count.sh — CI guard for the deleted
                                   qa-test-suite.md seed-data table

Cross-reference cleanup:
  - README.md: dropped the Contributor audience row + footer
    pointer to docs/contributor/.
  - Makefile: dropped `verify-docs` target + qa-stats comment refs.
  - .github/workflows/ci.yml: dropped the QA-doc seed-count drift
    CI step + dead comment refs.
  - docs/reference/cli.md: repointed qa-prerequisites.md → quickstart.md.
  - docs/operator/performance-baselines.md: dropped ci-pipeline.md
    cross-ref.
  - scripts/ci-guards/README.md: dropped the 'Guards explicitly
    NOT here' section that referenced the deleted QA-doc guards.

G-3 env-docs-drift guard improvements (a real consequence: deleting
the contributor docs surfaced that some env vars only had a home
there). Refit the guard to the new doc topology:
  - Defined-scan widened from `config.go + cmd/*` to all of `cmd/ +
    internal/` (production code), excluding `*_test.go` — catches
    service-layer env vars like CERTCTL_STEPCA_ROOT_CERT and
    CERTCTL_ZEROSSL_EAB_URL that were previously invisible to the
    guard.
  - Docs-scan widened to include deploy/ENVIRONMENTS.md (the
    canonical env-var inventory table — should have been in scope
    from day one). Kept narrow to README + docs/ + deploy/helm/ +
    ENVIRONMENTS.md to avoid pulling in compose/test fixtures.
  - ALLOWED filter now applies to both DOCS_ONLY and CONFIG_ONLY
    directions, so dynamic per-profile dispatch surfaces
    (CERTCTL_SCEP_PROFILE_<NAME>_*, CERTCTL_EST_PROFILE_<NAME>_*,
    CERTCTL_QA_*) don't need static doc entries.
  - Added CERTCTL_SCEP_PROFILE_[A-Z_]+ and CERTCTL_EST_PROFILE_[A-Z_]+
    to ALLOWED for the same reason.

deploy/ENVIRONMENTS.md: added CERTCTL_ZEROSSL_EAB_URL row — real
operator override (overrides the ZeroSSL EAB-credentials endpoint;
read at internal/connector/issuer/acme/acme.go:372) that was
defined in Go source but never documented. G-3 caught it after the
defined-scan widened.

scripts/ci-guards/S-1-hardcoded-source-counts.sh: removed dead
WORKSPACE-CHANGELOG.md allowlist entry (the file was deleted in
the prior workspace cleanup).

Verified:
  All 35 scripts/ci-guards/*.sh green (FAIL=0).
  No remaining references to docs/contributor/ or qa-doc-seed-count
  in tracked files.

# `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
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.
## Running the full set locally
```bash
for g in scripts/ci-guards/*.sh; do
echo "=== $(basename "$g") ==="
bash "$g" || echo " FAILED"
done
