shankar0123 fb6a8ead2f fix(compose): pin CERTCTL_DATABASE_URL in demo overlay (cold-DB smoke fix #4)
Fourth latent bug surfaced by the Auditable Codebase Bundle's
cold-DB compose smoke. CI run on master tip d92a0c98 fails with:

  certctl-postgres | FATAL: password authentication failed for user
  "certctl" (SQLSTATE 28P01 — invalid_password)

after every other auth gate has been satisfied. The earlier closures
(4737fff DEMO_MODE_ACK, f1aecc6 migration 000043 idempotency,
ec72c69 bootstrap-token interpolation) all hold; this one is a
different interpolation gap.

Root cause: the base compose at deploy/docker-compose.yml:177 builds
the certctl-server's database URL via compose-level interpolation:

  CERTCTL_DATABASE_URL: ${CERTCTL_DATABASE_URL:-postgres://certctl:${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}@postgres:5432/certctl?sslmode=disable}

The inner ${POSTGRES_PASSWORD} reads the SHELL environment, not the
postgres service's environment: block. The demo overlay sets
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: certctl on the postgres service (which feeds
postgres's initdb only — that's why the database is seeded with
password 'certctl'), but never exports it as a compose-level shell
var. In a zero-env-var CI run the shell var is blank, so the
generated URL is:

  postgres://certctl:@postgres:5432/certctl?sslmode=disable
                    ^ empty password

while postgres rejects with SCRAM mismatch because its pg_authid
holds the hash of 'certctl'.

Pre-CI, this gap was masked because every developer running the
demo locally had POSTGRES_PASSWORD=certctl in their shell or
deploy/.env from earlier sessions; the cold-DB smoke is the first
zero-env-var consumer of this overlay.

Fix: pin CERTCTL_DATABASE_URL with the literal demo password in the
demo overlay's certctl-server environment block. The base compose's
${CERTCTL_DATABASE_URL:-...} default is overlay-overridable, so this
literal is overlay-scoped — production deploys that supply their
own CERTCTL_DATABASE_URL still win. The overlay was always claimed
self-sufficient by its docstring ('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') — this commit makes the database
URL actually match that claim.

Same pattern as the ec72c69 BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN fix: when compose-level
interpolation reads from the shell, the overlay's environment:
block alone is not enough; the variable that references it must
also be pinned explicitly.

Verified:
  YAML parse clean (python3 yaml.safe_load).
  All 35 scripts/ci-guards/*.sh green, including
    complete-path-config-coverage.sh (CERTCTL_DATABASE_URL has a
    non-config consumer in deploy/), G-3-env-docs-drift,
    B2-compose-base-no-demo-env, S-1-hardcoded-source-counts.

# =============================================================================
# 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

postgres:
# Fixed weak password is intentional for the no-setup demo path.
# See docker-compose.yml for the production override pattern.

# Cold-DB smoke fix (2026-05-13): the base compose builds the
# database URL via compose-level `${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}` interpolation
# (deploy/docker-compose.yml line ~177), which reads the SHELL env —
# NOT the postgres service's `environment:` block above (that one
# feeds the postgres container's initdb only). In a zero-env-var
# CI run the shell var is blank, producing
# `postgres://certctl:@postgres:5432/...` and a SCRAM rejection
# against a database that initdb seeded with password `certctl`.
# Pinning the full URL here closes the gap: the demo overlay is
# now fully self-sufficient (matches the file's docstring claim)
# and the cold-DB smoke passes against a fresh GitHub-runner clone
# with no .env file or exported shell vars. Production deploys
# override CERTCTL_DATABASE_URL via the base compose's
# `${CERTCTL_DATABASE_URL:-...}` default, so this literal is
# overlay-scoped and never leaks into a production posture.
