git-echo	fe9bdce3c1	feat(crl): add CRL consumption and custom verifier for mTLS revocation enforcement Implements agent-side CRL consumption for mTLS certificate revocation checking, as specified in issue #20. Changes: - NEW: src/auth/crl.rs - CRL loading, parsing, signature verification, in-memory revoked serial index (HashSet), 24h background refresh task - MODIFY: src/auth/mtls.rs - CrlAwareVerifier wrapping WebPkiClientVerifier with post-chain CRL serial lookup; fails closed on invalid signature, degrades gracefully when CRL is missing - MODIFY: src/auth/mod.rs - Register crl module, re-export CrlState/CrlStatus - MODIFY: src/config/loader.rs - Add crl_path field to TlsConfig - MODIFY: src/main.rs - Load CRL on startup, spawn refresh task, wire SharedCrlState into server and health endpoint - MODIFY: src/api/handlers/system.rs - Add crl_status and crl_age_seconds to health check response - MODIFY: Cargo.toml - Add arc-swap, base64 deps; enable x509-parser verify feature for CRL signature verification Design decisions: - ArcSwap for lock-free atomic CRL state swaps on the hot path - O(1) serial lookup via HashSet<String> of hex-encoded serials - Stale CRL = continue serving + warn + health reports degraded - Invalid CRL signature = refuse to start (fail-closed) - Missing CRL = fall back to WebPKI-only (backward compatible) Companion to PR #26 in linux-patch-manager (manager-side CRL generation) Refs: #20	2026-06-05 13:42:35 -05:00

Draco Lunaris	5349cbbd05	fix: add workspace cleanup step to all self-hosted build jobs (#9 ) Previous build runs leave root-owned artifacts in releases/ directory which causes actions/checkout@v4 to fail with EACCES on subsequent runs. - Added sudo rm -rf releases/ before checkout in all 6 self-hosted jobs - Alpine build unaffected (runs in Docker container, clean each run) Co-authored-by: git-echo <git-echo@moon-dragon.us>	2026-05-31 17:07:14 -05:00

This bypasses the dpkg-buildpackage subprocess chain (dh → make → debian/rules → cargo) which does not inherit the rustup environment (RUSTUP_HOME, CARGO_HOME, default toolchain) from GitHub Actions. Same approach as Linux-Patch-Manager which passes CI. - Add scripts/build-package.sh (modeled after Manager) - Add Version and Installed-Size to debian/control - Update CI workflow to use build-package.sh - Fix release files path (project root, not ../) * fix: extract only binary package paragraph from debian/control dpkg-deb --build expects a single control paragraph starting with Package: field. The debian/control file has two paragraphs (source + binary). The awk command extracts only the binary package paragraph to avoid dpkg-deb parse errors. * fix: generate DEBIAN/control from scratch in build-package.sh dpkg-deb --build is fundamentally incompatible with debian/control which uses dpkg-buildpackage substitution variables like ${shlibs:Depends} and ${misc:Depends}. Generate a clean control file from scratch in the script to eliminate all incompatibilities. - No substitution variables - No source paragraph - No Build-Depends - Homepage points to GitHub - Installed-Size calculated before control file generation --------- Co-authored-by: git-echo <git-echo@moon-dragon.us>	2026-05-31 11:19:47 -05:00
