shankar0123 5313cd8492 auth-bundle-1 Phase 13 follow-up: em-dash sweep + broken-link fix
Self-audit on e7a94b6 flagged the prompt's 'zero em dashes'
discipline rule. The four new Phase 13 docs and the v2.1.0
CHANGELOG section had 97 em-dash hits between them; this commit
sweeps them all to ASCII hyphens.

Counts before -> after:
  docs/operator/rbac.md                  28 -> 0
  docs/operator/auth-threat-model.md     36 -> 0
  docs/migration/api-keys-to-rbac.md     16 -> 0
  docs/operator/security.md               8 -> 0
  docs/reference/profiles.md              3 -> 0
  CHANGELOG.md                            6 -> 0

Mechanical: ' - ' (spaced em dash) and bare em-dash both replaced
with spaced ASCII hyphen, then double-spaces collapsed. Markdown
list bullets ('^- ', '^  - ', '^    - ') verified intact across
all six files. Internal-link sweep also re-run.

Also fixes a pre-existing broken link the audit caught:
  docs/operator/security.md:70 referenced
  '../internal/crypto/encryption.go' which is a 1-level-up jump
  from docs/operator/, not the 2-level-up jump it actually needs
  ('../../internal/crypto/encryption.go'). Pre-Bundle-1 link rot;
  fixed in lockstep so the merge gate's docs validation passes
  cleanly.

Final state across the Phase-13 docs + CHANGELOG:
  - 0 em dashes
  - 0 broken internal links
  - Last-reviewed: 2026-05-09 header on every new doc

Bundle 1 documentation is now ready for the operator-side merge
gate review.

# Changelog
## v2.1.0 - Auth Bundle 1: RBAC primitive ⚠️
> **SECURITY: AUDIT YOUR API KEYS.**
>
> Bundle 1 ships role-based authorization. Every existing API key
> configured via `CERTCTL_API_KEYS_NAMED` (or the legacy
> `CERTCTL_AUTH_SECRET`) is mapped to the **r-admin role on the first
> upgrade boot** so existing automation keeps working unchanged. Most
> keys do NOT need full admin power; downgrade them before tagging
> the next release.
>
> Recommended post-upgrade flow:
>
> ```bash
> # 1. List every key with its current role:
> certctl-cli auth keys list
>
> # 2. Walk an interactive prompt that downgrades each key:
> certctl-cli auth keys scope-down
>
> # 3. Or get a heuristic suggestion based on 30 days of audit history:
> certctl-cli auth keys scope-down --suggest
> certctl-cli auth keys scope-down --suggest --apply # applies the suggestion
>
> # 4. Or drive scope-down from a JSON config (Helm post-upgrade hook):
> certctl-cli auth keys scope-down --non-interactive ./scope-down.json
> ```
>
> The synthetic `actor-demo-anon` actor (used when
> `CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=none` is configured) is system-managed and
> excluded from the prompt loop.
What else changed in v2.1.0:
- **RBAC primitive shipped.** `tenants`, `roles`, `permissions`,
`role_permissions`, `actor_roles` tables (migration 000029); 33-permission
canonical catalogue; 7 default roles (`admin`, `operator`, `viewer`,
`agent`, `mcp`, `cli`, `auditor`); per-handler permission gates via
`auth.RequirePermission` middleware (replaces the legacy
`IsAdmin` boolean check on the 5 admin-only handlers).
- **Day-0 admin bootstrap.** Set `CERTCTL_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN` on a fresh
deploy and POST a single curl call against `/api/v1/auth/bootstrap` to
mint the first admin API key; one-shot, never logged, and locks
closed once any admin actor exists. Migration 000031 ships the
`api_keys` table that stores the SHA-256 hash; the plaintext is
shown in the response body once and never persisted.
- **Auditor role split.** New `auditor` role holds only `audit.read`
+ `audit.export`. Compliance reviewers can read the audit trail
without holding mutation power. Migration 000032 adds
`audit_events.event_category` so auditors can filter to
authentication-related events specifically.
- **`/v1/auth/check` enrichment.** Response now includes the actor's
standing roles and effective permissions, so the GUI gates
affordances from a single fetch on app boot.
- **Approval-bypass closure.** Edits to a profile that has (or
would have) `RequiresApproval=true` now route through the
`ApprovalService` two-person integrity gate (Phase 9). Migration
000033 adds `approval_kind` + `payload` to
`issuance_approval_requests` so cert-issuance and profile-edit
approvals share the same workflow. Same-actor self-approve is
rejected with `ErrApproveBySameActor` for both kinds. Closes the
flip-flop loophole where an admin could disable approval, mutate,
re-enable. Documented at
[`docs/reference/profiles.md`](docs/reference/profiles.md).
- **GUI: Roles / API Keys / Auth Settings / Approvals queue.**
Four new pages under `/auth/*` consume `/v1/auth/me` for
permission-aware rendering. The Approvals queue blocks
self-approve at the client layer (Approve/Reject buttons hidden
when requested_by == current actor_id) on top of the server-side
enforcement. AuditPage gains a category filter (cert_lifecycle /
auth / config) for the auditor view.
- **MCP server gains 12 RBAC tools.** Operators driving certctl
from Claude / VS Code / any MCP client get parity with the GUI
+ CLI. Each tool routes through the same HTTP handler; permission
gates fire server-side.
- **OpenAPI catalogues every new route.** Every Bundle 1 endpoint
ships with an `operationId`; the parity test guards against drift.
- **Coverage gates.** `internal/auth/` and `internal/service/auth/`
now have ≥85% coverage floors in `.github/coverage-thresholds.yml`.
The 12-path negative-test list from the Bundle 1 prompt is
fully covered (path #12 deferred with in-tree TODO).
- **Protocol-endpoint allowlist pinned at three layers.** The
middleware bypass (`auth.IsProtocolEndpoint`), the router-level
`AuthExemptRouterRoutes` constant, and a new
`phase12_protocol_allowlist_test.go` AST scan all guard against
accidentally wrapping ACME / SCEP / EST / OCSP / CRL routes in
`rbacGate`.
- **Bundle 2 (OIDC + sessions) starts after Bundle 1 lands on
master.** Roadmap entry remains in `cowork/auth-bundle-2-prompt.md`.
Migration ordering, idempotency, and downgrade are documented in
[`docs/migration/api-keys-to-rbac.md`](docs/migration/api-keys-to-rbac.md).
The threat model + compliance mapping live at
[`docs/operator/auth-threat-model.md`](docs/operator/auth-threat-model.md).
Day-2 RBAC operations live at
[`docs/operator/rbac.md`](docs/operator/rbac.md).
## v2.0.68 - Image registry path changed ⚠️
> **Image registry path changed.** Starting this release, container images publish to `ghcr.io/certctl-io/certctl-server` and `ghcr.io/certctl-io/certctl-agent`. Existing pulls from `ghcr.io/shankar0123/certctl-{server,agent}:<tag>` continue to work for previously-published tags (the registry never deletes images), but the `:latest` tag at the old path stops moving forward at this release. Update your `docker pull` paths, `docker-compose.yml` `image:` keys, or Helm `image.repository` values to receive future updates. Old `git clone` / `git push` / install-script / API URLs continue to redirect forever - only the container-registry path changed.
This is the only operator-action-required change in v2.0.68. Other changes in this release are cosmetic URL refreshes after the GitHub-org transfer from `shankar0123/certctl` to `certctl-io/certctl` (HTTP redirects mean no other operator action is required) plus an internal contextcheck lint fix in the agent. Full commit list is on the [GitHub release page](https://github.com/certctl-io/certctl/releases/tag/v2.0.68).
---
certctl no longer maintains a hand-edited per-version changelog. Per-release
notes are auto-generated from commit messages between consecutive tags.
**Where to find what changed in a given release:**
- **[GitHub Releases](https://github.com/certctl-io/certctl/releases)** - every
tag has an auto-generated "What's Changed" section pulled from the commits
between that tag and the previous one, plus per-release supply-chain
verification instructions (Cosign / SLSA / SBOM).
- **`git log <prev-tag>..<this-tag> --oneline`** - same content, locally.
**Why no hand-edited CHANGELOG.md:**
certctl is solo-developed and pushes directly to master. Maintaining a
hand-edited CHANGELOG meant the file drifted (entries piled into
`[unreleased]` and never got promoted to per-version sections when tags were
cut). A stale CHANGELOG is worse than no CHANGELOG - it signals abandoned
maintenance to security-conscious operators doing diligence.
The auto-generated release notes work here because commit messages follow a
descriptive convention: `<area>: <summary>` with a longer body for non-trivial
changes (see `git log v2.0.50..HEAD` for the established pattern). Anyone
reading the GitHub Releases page can see exactly what landed in each version
without depending on the author to manually update a separate file.
**For the historical record:** earlier versions (pre-v2.2.0 and the [2.2.0]
tag itself) had a hand-edited CHANGELOG. That content is preserved in
[git history](https://github.com/certctl-io/certctl/blob/v2.2.0/CHANGELOG.md)
at the v2.2.0 tag.
