+## Package Cache Management
+
+### Module: `src/packages/cache.rs`
+
+The package cache module manages the local package index state, ensuring that package metadata is current before performing operations.
+
+**Key Components:**
+- `PackageCacheState` - Thread-safe in-memory cache state with Mutex protection
+- `PackageCacheStatus` - Snapshot of cache state for reporting
+- `CacheStateFile` - Persistent state format for serialization
+- `is_fetch_error()` - Detects 404/fetch errors for automatic retry
+- `apply_with_cache_retry()` - Generic retry wrapper for cache-related failures
+- `run_command_with_timeout()` - Executes cache refresh commands with timeout
+
+**State Persistence:**
+- Cache state persists to `/var/lib/linux_patch_api/state/cache.json`
+- State is loaded on service startup and saved after every update
+- Persists `last_cache_update` timestamp and `last_update_success` flag
+- Parent directory is auto-created if missing
+
+**Stale Detection:**
+- Cache is considered stale after 4 hours (`STALE_THRESHOLD_SECS = 14400`)
+- Health check automatically refreshes stale cache
+- Patch apply operations always refresh cache before proceeding (mandatory)
+
+**Refresh-Before-Apply Flow:**
+1. `POST /patches/apply` creates a job and spawns background task
+2. Background task refreshes package cache (mandatory, not configurable)
+3. If refresh fails: job fails immediately with error message
+4. If refresh succeeds: job progresses to 10%, applies patches
+5. If apply fails with 404/fetch error: refresh cache and retry once
+6. If retry also fails: job fails with error
+
+**Cache Refresh Timeout:** 120 seconds (`CACHE_REFRESH_TIMEOUT_SECS`)

 ```
 
+## Building Arch Package (.pkg.tar.zst)
+
+### Quick Build
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/linux_patch_api
+
+# Build release binary
+cargo build --release
+
+# Build Arch package
+chmod +x build-arch.sh
+SKIP_CARGO_BUILD=1 ./build-arch.sh
+
+# Package will be created in releases/
+ls -la releases/*.pkg.tar.zst
+```
+
+### Detailed Build Process
+
+```bash
+# 1. Install build dependencies (Arch Linux)
+sudo pacman -Syu --noconfirm rust cargo systemd git base-devel gcc
+
+# 2. Build release binary
+cargo build --release
+
+# 3. Run build script
+chmod +x build-arch.sh
+./build-arch.sh
+
+# 4. Verify package contents
+bsdtar -tf releases/linux-patch-api-*.pkg.tar.zst
+
+# 5. Verify package info
+pacman -Qi releases/linux-patch-api-*.pkg.tar.zst
+```
+
+### Install Script Hooks
+
+The Arch package includes an `.install` file (`configs/linux-patch-api.install`) that runs automatically on install:
+
+- **post_install**: Creates directories, copies example configs, enables systemd service
+- **post_upgrade**: Reloads systemd daemon
+- **pre_remove**: Stops and disables service
+- **post_remove**: Cleans up empty directories
+
+### Installation Test
+
+```bash
+# Install the package
+sudo pacman -U ./releases/linux-patch-api-*.pkg.tar.zst
+
+# Verify installation
+systemctl status linux-patch-api
+linux-patch-api --version
+
+# Check installed files
+pacman -Ql linux-patch-api
+
+# Verify config files exist
+ls -la /etc/linux_patch_api/
+
+# Remove package
+sudo pacman -R linux-patch-api
+```
+
+**Note:** The build script creates a `builduser` for `makepkg` when running as root (typical in CI environments). The `.install` hook handles directory creation, config copying, and service enablement.
+
+## Building Alpine Package (.apk)
+
+### Quick Build
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/linux_patch_api
+
+# Build release binary (MUSL target for Alpine)
+cargo build --release --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
+
+# Build Alpine package
+chmod +x build-alpine.sh
+SKIP_CARGO_BUILD=1 ./build-alpine.sh
+
+# Package will be created in releases/
+ls -la releases/*.apk
+```
+
+### Detailed Build Process
+
+```bash
+# 1. Install build dependencies (Alpine Linux)
+apk add --no-cache alpine-sdk rust cargo openssl openssl-dev elogind-dev musl-dev abuild gcc
+
+# 2. Add Rust MUSL target
+rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
+
+# 3. Build release binary
+cargo build --release --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
+
+# 4. Run build script
+chmod +x build-alpine.sh
+./build-alpine.sh
+
+# 5. Verify package contents
+apk verify releases/*.apk
+
+# 6. List package contents
+tar -tzf releases/*.apk
+```
+
+### Install Script Hooks
+
+The Alpine package includes an install script (`configs/linux-patch-api.apk-install`) that runs automatically on install:
+
+- **pre_install**: Creates directories, sets ownership and permissions
+- **post_install**: Copies example configs, adds service to default runlevel
+- **pre_deinstall**: Stops and removes service from runlevel
+- **post_deinstall**: Cleans up empty directories
+
+### Installation Test
+
+```bash
+# Install the package
+sudo apk add --allow-unstable ./releases/linux-patch-api-*.apk
+
+# Verify installation
+rc-service linux-patch-api status
+linux-patch-api --version
+
+# Check installed files
+apk info -L linux-patch-api
+
+# Verify config files exist
+ls -la /etc/linux_patch_api/
+
+# Remove package
+sudo apk del linux-patch-api
+```
+
+**Important:** Alpine uses **OpenRC** instead of systemd. Key differences:
+- Start service: `rc-service linux-patch-api start`
+- Stop service: `rc-service linux-patch-api stop`
+- Check status: `rc-service linux-patch-api status`
+- Service init script: `/etc/init.d/linux-patch-api`
+- The `abuild` tool generates signing keys automatically for CI builds

 ## Self-Enrollment Deployment
 
-Self-enrollment allows a new host to automatically request and receive mTLS certificates from the `linux_patch_manager` without manual PKI distribution. The daemon extracts its machine identity, registers with the manager, polls for admin approval, and provisions certificates before starting the mTLS server.
+Self-enrollment allows a new host to automatically request and receive mTLS certificates from the `linux_patch_manager` without manual PKI distribution. The daemon supports two enrollment modes:
+
+1. **Auto-enrollment (recommended):** When `enrollment.manager_url` is configured in `config.yaml`, the daemon automatically enrolls on startup when certificates are missing or invalid. After provisioning, it continues to normal mTLS server startup.
+
+2. **Manual enrollment:** Run `linux-patch-api --enroll <manager_url>` explicitly. The process provisions certificates and **exits** — it does NOT start the server. Start the service separately after enrollment completes.
 
 ### How It Works
 
 The enrollment workflow operates in three phases:
 
 1. **Registration:** Extracts `/etc/machine-id`, FQDN, IP address, and OS details. Submits an unauthenticated `POST /api/v1/enroll` request to the manager. Receives a temporary `polling_token`.
-2. **Polling & Approval:** Enters a polling loop querying `GET /api/v1/enroll/status/{token}` (default: every 60 seconds, up to 1440 attempts = 24 hours). Aborts on HTTP 403/404 (denied/purged).
-3. **Provisioning:** On HTTP 200, downloads the PKI bundle (`ca.crt`, `server.crt`, `server.key`), writes certificates to configured mTLS paths, appends manager IP to whitelist, and transitions to standard mTLS listening mode.
+2. **Polling & Approval:** Enters a polling loop querying `GET /api/v1/enroll/status/{token}` (default: every 60 seconds, up to 1440 attempts = 24 hours). Aborts on HTTP 403/404 (denied/purged). The polling token is persisted to `config.yaml` for resume after service restart.
+3. **Provisioning:** On HTTP 200, downloads the PKI bundle (`ca.crt`, `server.crt`, `server.key`), writes certificates to configured mTLS paths, appends manager IP to whitelist. For auto-enrollment, transitions to standard mTLS listening mode. For `--enroll`, exits with code 0.
+
+### Certificate Validation
+
+On startup, the daemon validates all configured TLS certificates before attempting to bind the listening port:
+
+1. **Existence:** All three cert files must exist at configured paths
+2. **Parse:** Each file must be valid PEM (X.509 for certs, PKCS#8/PKCS#1 for keys)
+3. **Expiry:** Certs must not be expired. Certs expiring within `cert_renewal_threshold_days` (default 7) trigger a warning
+4. **Key match:** Server cert public key must correspond to server key private key
+5. **CA trust:** Server cert must be signed by the CA cert
+
+Validation results determine startup behavior:
+
+| Result | Action |
+|--------|--------|
+| Valid | Start normally with mTLS |
+| ExpiringSoon | Log warning, start normally, schedule re-enrollment |
+| Missing/Corrupt/Expired/KeyMismatch/Untrusted | Auto-enroll if `enrollment.manager_url` configured, otherwise exit with guidance |

-### Step-by-Step Enrollment Procedure
+### Deployment Method 1: Auto-Enrollment (Recommended)
 
-#### Step 1: Install linux-patch-api Package
+The simplest deployment. Just install the package, configure the manager URL, and start the service. The daemon handles the rest.
+
+#### Step 1: Install Package
 
 ```bash
 # Debian/Ubuntu
-dpkg -i linux-patch-api_1.0.0-1_amd64.deb
+dpkg -i linux-patch-api_1.2.0-1_amd64.deb
 
 # RHEL/CentOS/Fedora
-rpm -ivh linux-patch-api-1.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm
+rpm -ivh linux-patch-api-1.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm
 ```
 
-#### Step 2: Run Enrollment Command
+#### Step 2: Configure Enrollment URL
 
 ```bash
-# Basic enrollment with manager URL
-sudo linux-patch-api --enroll https://manager.example.com
+# Edit the config to add manager URL
+cat >> /etc/linux_patch_api/config.yaml <<EOF
 
-# With verbose logging for troubleshooting
-sudo linux-patch-api --enroll https://manager.example.com --verbose
+enrollment:
+  manager_url: "https://linux-patch-manager-dev.moon-dragon.us"
+  polling_interval_seconds: 60
+  max_poll_attempts: 1440
+  cert_renewal_threshold_days: 7
+EOF
 ```
 
-The enrollment process will:
-- Extract machine identity from `/etc/machine-id` and system properties
-- Submit registration request to manager
-- Enter polling loop (logs progress every 60 seconds)
-- Await admin approval on the manager side
-- Download and install certificates automatically
-- Update IP whitelist with manager address
-- Start mTLS server upon successful provisioning
-
-#### Step 3: Monitor Enrollment Progress
+#### Step 3: Start Service
 
 ```bash
-# View enrollment logs in real-time
+# Enable and start
+systemctl enable linux-patch-api
+systemctl start linux-patch-api
+
+# Watch auto-enrollment progress
 journalctl -u linux-patch-api -f
-
-# Or if running manually:
-sudo linux-patch-api --enroll https://manager.example.com --verbose
 ```
 
-**Expected log progression:**
-```
-INFO Enrollment mode activated - manager_url=https://manager.example.com
-INFO Phase 1: Submitting registration request
-INFO Registration submitted - polling_token=abc123...
-INFO Phase 2: Polling for approval (interval=60s, max_attempts=1440)
-INFO Poll attempt 1/1440 - status=pending
-... (admin approves on manager side) ...
-INFO Phase 3: Provisioning certificates
-INFO ca.pem written to /etc/linux_patch_api/certs/ca.pem
-INFO server.pem written to /etc/linux_patch_api/certs/server.pem
-INFO server.key written to /etc/linux_patch_api/certs/server.key
-INFO Manager IP added to whitelist
-INFO Enrollment complete - proceeding to server startup
-```
+The daemon will:
+1. Validate certificates → find them missing
+2. Read `enrollment.manager_url` → begin auto-enrollment
+3. Register with manager, poll for approval
+4. Provision certificates after admin approval
+5. Continue to normal mTLS server startup
+
+**No manual `--enroll` command needed.** The service self-heals on restart if certificates are missing or invalid.

+### Deployment Method 2: Manual Enrollment
+
+For environments where auto-enrollment is not desired, or for initial setup before the service is enabled.
+
+#### Step 1: Install Package
+
+```bash
+# Debian/Ubuntu
+dpkg -i linux-patch-api_1.2.0-1_amd64.deb
+
+# RHEL/CentOS/Fedora
+rpm -ivh linux-patch-api-1.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm
+```
+
+#### Step 2: Run Enrollment Command
+
+```bash
+# Basic enrollment with manager URL
+sudo linux-patch-api --enroll https://linux-patch-manager-dev.moon-dragon.us
+
+# With verbose logging for troubleshooting
+sudo linux-patch-api --enroll https://linux-patch-manager-dev.moon-dragon.us --verbose
+```
+
+**Important:** The `--enroll` command provisions certificates and **exits**. It does NOT start the server. This prevents port conflicts with the systemd service.
+
+The enrollment process will:
+- Extract machine identity from `/etc/machine-id` and system properties
+- Submit registration request to manager
+- Enter polling loop (logs progress every 60 seconds)
+- Await admin approval on the manager side
+- Download and install certificates automatically
+- Update IP whitelist with manager address
+- Print: "Enrollment complete. Start service: systemctl start linux-patch-api"
+- Exit with code 0
+
+#### Step 3: Start Service
+
+```bash
+systemctl enable linux-patch-api
+systemctl start linux-patch-api
+systemctl status linux-patch-api
+```
+
+### Certificate Renewal
+
+Certificates can be renewed manually or automatically:
+
+```bash
+# Manual renewal

+
+# Auto-renewal: certs expiring within cert_renewal_threshold_days trigger re-enrollment on startup

+**Post-install:** The package automatically creates directories, copies example configs, enables the service, and prints next steps. Configure `/etc/linux_patch_api/config.yaml` and place TLS certificates in `/etc/linux_patch_api/certs/` before starting.
+
+**Note:** Arch uses systemd by default. The install hook runs `systemctl enable` but does not start the service. You must configure before starting.
+
+#### Alpine Linux (.apk)
+
+```bash
+# Install the package
+sudo apk add --allow-unstable ./linux-patch-api-1.0.0-r0.apk
+
+# Verify installation
+rc-service linux-patch-api status
+linux-patch-api --version
+
+# Check installed files
+apk info -L linux-patch-api
+
+# Remove package
+sudo apk del linux-patch-api
+```
+
+**Prerequisites:** `openrc` (included by default on Alpine)
+
+**Post-install:** The package automatically creates directories, copies example configs, adds the service to the default runlevel, and prints next steps. Configure `/etc/linux_patch_api/config.yaml` and place TLS certificates in `/etc/linux_patch_api/certs/` before starting.
+
+**Important differences from systemd-based systems:**
+- Alpine uses **OpenRC** instead of systemd. Use `rc-service` commands instead of `systemctl`
+- Start service: `rc-service linux-patch-api start`
+- Stop service: `rc-service linux-patch-api stop`
+- Check status: `rc-service linux-patch-api status`
+- The service is added to the `default` runlevel automatically on install
+- Service init script: `/etc/init.d/linux-patch-api`
+
 ### Manual Installation
 
 For systems without package manager support:
 
 ```bash
 # Run interactive installer (requires root)
-./install.sh
+sudo ./install.sh
 ```
 
 The installer will:
 - Detect operating system
-- Create system user and group
-- Set up directory structure
-- Install binary and configuration files
+- Create directory structure (`/etc/linux_patch_api/`, `/var/lib/linux_patch_api/`, `/var/log/linux_patch_api/`)
+- Install binary to `/usr/bin/linux-patch-api`
+- Install example configs
 - Configure systemd service
+- Set correct permissions
 
 ### Building from Source
 
+#### Prerequisites (all platforms)
+
+- Rust toolchain (stable channel, 1.75+)
+- OpenSSL development headers
+- systemd development headers
+- C compiler (gcc)
+
+#### Build Debian Package (.deb)
+
 ```bash
-# Clone repository
-git clone https://gitea.internal/linux-patch-api.git
-cd linux-patch-api
-
-# Build release binary
-cargo build --release --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
-
-# Build Debian package
-dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b
-
-# Or build RPM package
-rpmbuild -ba linux-patch-api.spec
+# On Debian/Ubuntu
+apt-get install -y build-essential debhelper pkg-config libsystemd-dev libssl-dev cargo rustc
+cargo build --release
+sudo dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b
 ```
 
+#### Build RPM Package (.rpm)
+
+```bash
+# On Fedora/RHEL/CentOS
+dnf install -y rpm-build cargo rust gcc openssl-devel systemd-devel pkgconfig
+cargo build --release --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
+chmod +x build-rpm.sh
+./build-rpm.sh
+```
+
+**Note:** The RPM spec includes `BuildRequires` for native RPM build environments. When building in CI containers (where deps are pre-installed via apt-get), these are informational only.
+
+#### Build Arch Package (.pkg.tar.zst)
+
+```bash
+# On Arch Linux/Manjaro
+pacman -Syu --noconfirm rust cargo systemd git base-devel gcc
+cargo build --release
+chmod +x build-arch.sh
+SKIP_CARGO_BUILD=1 ./build-arch.sh
+```
+
+**Note:** The build script creates a `builduser` for `makepkg` when running as root (typical in CI). The `.install` hook handles directory creation, config copying, and service enablement.
+
+#### Build Alpine Package (.apk)
+
+```bash
+# On Alpine Linux 3.18+
+apk add --no-cache alpine-sdk rust cargo openssl openssl-dev elogind-dev musl-dev abuild gcc
+cargo build --release --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
+chmod +x build-alpine.sh
+SKIP_CARGO_BUILD=1 ./build-alpine.sh
+```
+
+**Important:** Alpine requires the `x86_64-unknown-linux-musl` target for static linking. The build script handles `abuild` key generation and runs as a `builduser` when executed as root.
+
 See [BUILD_PACKAGES.md](./BUILD_PACKAGES.md) for detailed build instructions.

+## Reporting a Vulnerability
 
-## Threat Model
+**Do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub Issues.**
 
-### Threat Actor Profile
+Instead, use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting:
 
-| Attribute | Description |
-|-----------|-------------|
-| **Origin** | Internal network only |
-| **Skill Level** | Moderate to High |
-| **Resources** | Limited (not nation-state) |
-| **Motivation** | Unauthorized system access, privilege escalation |
-| **Access** | Must bypass mTLS + IP whitelist |
+👉 [Report a vulnerability for Linux-Patch-Api](https://github.com/Draco-Lunaris/Linux-Patch-Api/security/advisories/new)
 
-### STRIDE Threat Analysis
+This allows us to coordinate a fix before public disclosure.
 
-| Threat Category | Potential Threat | Mitigation | Status |
-|-----------------|------------------|------------|--------|
-| **Spoofing** | Attacker impersonates valid client | mTLS certificate validation, unique certs per client | ✅ Mitigated |

-| **Information Disclosure** | Error messages leak system info | Detailed errors only for authenticated clients | ✅ Mitigated |
-| **Denial of Service** | Resource exhaustion via many requests | Internal network only, IP whitelist limits exposure | ⚠️ Partial |
-| **Denial of Service** | Job queue flooding | Configurable concurrent job limit (default: 5) | ✅ Mitigated |
-| **Denial of Service** | Long-running job starvation | 30-minute job timeout enforcement | ✅ Mitigated |
-| **Elevation of Privilege** | Unauthorized package installation | Root required, but mTLS + IP whitelist required | ✅ Mitigated |
-| **Elevation of Privilege** | Subprocess escape | SystemCallFilter, ProtectSystem=strict | ✅ Mitigated |
+### Response Timeline
 
-### Attack Vectors & Mitigations
+- **Acknowledgment** within 48 hours
+- **Initial assessment** within 7 days
+- **Ongoing updates** on remediation progress
 
-| Attack Vector | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
-|---------------|------------|--------|------------|
-| Network interception | Low | Critical | TLS 1.3 only, mTLS required |
-| Certificate theft | Medium | Critical | Cert permissions (600), internal CA only |
-| IP spoofing | Low | High | IP whitelist + mTLS (both required) |

+## Disclosure Policy
 
----
+We follow **coordinated disclosure**:
 
-## Authentication & Authorization
+- We ask for **90 days** before public disclosure of a vulnerability
+- Security advisories are published via [GitHub Security Advisories](https://github.com/Draco-Lunaris/Linux-Patch-Api/security/advisories)
+- We will work with you to determine an appropriate disclosure timeline when a fix requires more time
 
-### Authentication Requirements
+## Security Best Practices
 
-- **Method:** mTLS certificate-based authentication
-- **Certificate Type:** Unique client certificate per client (1-year validity)
-- **CA:** Internal self-hosted Certificate Authority
-- **TLS Version:** TLS 1.3 only
-- **Multi-factor:** Certificate + IP whitelist (dual requirement)
-- **Session Management:** Stateless (no sessions)
+This project is a security tool — we hold ourselves to a high standard:
 
-### Authorization Model
+- **Signed commits**: All commits must be signed (SSH signing)
+- **CI enforcement**: All PRs require passing CI checks (fmt, clippy, test, audit, build)
+- **Dependency auditing**: `cargo audit` runs in CI to catch known vulnerabilities
 
-- **Model:** Binary authorization (all-or-nothing)
-- **Permission Levels:** Single level (full access if authenticated)
-- **Requirements:**
-  - Valid mTLS certificate (not expired, signed by internal CA)
-  - Source IP in whitelist (YAML config, instant apply)
-- **No RBAC:** All authenticated clients have full API access
+## Credit
 
----
-
-## Data Security
-
-### Encryption at Rest
-
-- **Certificates:** File permissions 600 for private keys
-- **Job Storage:** `/var/lib/linux_patch_api/jobs/` (cleared on restart)
-- **Config Files:** `/etc/linux_patch_api/` (644 for config, 600 for keys)
-- **Audit Logs:** systemd journal (immutable by default)
-
-### Encryption in Transit
-
-- **Protocol:** TLS 1.3 only
-- **Port:** 12443
-- **Cipher Suites:** TLS 1.3 default (no legacy cipher support)
-- **Certificate Validation:** Mutual TLS (server + client cert required)
-
-### Key Management
-
-- **CA Private Key:** Stored securely on CA host only
-- **Server Certificates:** `/etc/linux_patch_api/certs/server.key` (600)
-- **Client Certificates:** Distributed manually to authorized clients
-- **Rotation:** 1-year certificate expiry, manual renewal process
-- **Revocation:** Not implemented (rely on expiry + physical cert retrieval)
-
----
-
-## API Security
-
-### Input Validation
-
-- **Package Names:** Alphanumeric + standard package chars only
-- **Versions:** Semantic versioning validation
-- **IP Addresses:** IPv4 + CIDR validation for whitelist
-- **JSON Schema:** Strict schema validation for all request bodies
-- **Path Traversal:** Blocked (no `..` in paths)
-
-### Rate Limiting
-
-- **Not Required:** Internal network only with strict IP whitelist
-- **Job Concurrency:** Configurable limit (default: 5 concurrent jobs)
-- **Job Timeout:** 30-minute maximum per job
-
-### CORS Policy
-
-- **Not Applicable:** API is not browser-accessible
-- **Origin:** mTLS clients only (no browser CORS concerns)
-
----
-
-## Audit & Logging
-
-### Security Events to Log
-
-- All API requests (endpoint, method, timestamp, client cert ID, source IP)
-- Authentication events (success/failure, cert validation result)
-- Authorization events (IP whitelist match/failure)
-- Package operations (package name, version, action, result)
-- Configuration changes (config reload, whitelist updates)
-- Job lifecycle events (create, start, complete, fail, timeout, rollback)
-- Service events (start, stop, restart, config validation failures)
-
-### Log Protection
-
-- **Primary Storage:** systemd journal (immutable, access-controlled)
-- **Secondary Storage:** Optional remote syslog
-- **Fallback:** Local file `/var/log/linux_patch_api/audit.log` (640)
-- **Retention:** 30 days with daily rotation and compression
-- **Access:** Root only, audit group read access
-- **Integrity:** systemd journal provides tamper evidence
-
----
-
-## Compliance Requirements
-
-- **Internal Standards:** Follows organizational security policies
-- **No External Compliance:** Not designed for PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC2 (can be extended)
-- **Audit Trail:** Comprehensive logging supports internal audit requirements
-- **Access Control:** mTLS + IP whitelist provides strong access control
-
----
-
-## Security Testing
-

 ## Certificate Management
 
 - **CA Type:** Internal self-hosted Certificate Authority
-- **Distribution:** Manual certificate distribution OR automated Self-Enrollment
-  - Self-Enrollment provides automatic PKI provisioning after admin approval on linux_patch_manager
+- **Distribution:** Automated Self-Enrollment (preferred) OR manual certificate distribution
+  - Auto-Enrollment: daemon automatically enrolls on startup when certs are missing/invalid and `enrollment.manager_url` is configured
+  - Manual Enrollment: `linux-patch-api --enroll <url>` for explicit enrollment (exits after completion, does not start server)
   - Eliminates manual certificate copy/permission management for new hosts
 - **Scope:** Limited distribution (small number of authorized clients)
 - **Validity Period:** 1 year standard expiration
 - **Client Identity:** Unique certificate per client (no shared certs)
-- **Rotation:** Manual renewal process before expiration
+- **Rotation:** Automatic re-enrollment when certs are expiring within threshold, or manual via `--renew-certs`
+
+## Certificate Validation
+
+On startup, the daemon validates all configured TLS certificates before attempting to bind the listening port. Validation checks (in order):
+
+1. **Existence**: All three cert files (`ca_cert`, `server_cert`, `server_key`) must exist at configured paths
+2. **Parse**: Each file must be valid PEM — CA and server cert must parse as X.509, server key must parse as PKCS#8 or PKCS#1
+3. **Expiry**: CA cert and server cert must not be expired (`not_after > now`). Certs expiring within `cert_renewal_threshold_days` (default 7) trigger a warning and auto-re-enrollment
+4. **Key match**: Server cert's public key must correspond to server key's private key
+5. **CA trust**: Server cert must be signed by the CA cert (or chain validates to CA)
+
+Validation results determine startup behavior:
+
+| Result | Action |
+|--------|--------|
+| Valid | Start normally with mTLS |
+| ExpiringSoon | Log warning, start normally, schedule background re-enrollment |
+| Missing/Corrupt/Expired/KeyMismatch/Untrusted | Trigger auto-enrollment if `enrollment.manager_url` configured, otherwise exit with guidance |
 
 ## Self-Enrollment Workflow
 
-The `linux_patch_api` daemon supports an automated self-enrollment workflow to securely request identity from the `linux_patch_manager` without manual PKI distribution.
+The `linux_patch_api` daemon supports automated self-enrollment to securely request identity from the `linux_patch_manager` without manual PKI distribution. Enrollment can be triggered automatically on startup or manually via CLI.
+
+### Auto-Enrollment on Startup
+
+When cert validation fails AND `enrollment.manager_url` is configured in config.yaml, the daemon automatically enters enrollment mode:
+
+1. Log: "Certs [status]. Auto-enrolling with <url>"
+2. Skip cert validation (`skip_tls_validation=true`)
+3. Register with manager (POST /api/v1/enroll)
+   - If host already exists: log warning, skip to step 5 (polling for re-provisioning)
+   - If new registration: receive polling token
+4. Poll for approval (GET /api/v1/enroll/status/{token})
+   - Persist `polling_token` to config.yaml for resume after restart
+   - Retry with exponential backoff on network errors
+5. When approved: provision certs (ca.pem, server.pem, server.key)
+6. Re-validate certs (should now be Valid)
+7. Continue to normal mTLS server startup
+
+If enrollment fails (network error, manager unreachable):
+- Log: "Auto-enrollment failed: [error]. Retrying on next restart."
+- Exit code 1 (triggers systemd restart with backoff)
+
+If no enrollment URL is configured and certs are invalid:
+- Log clear error with guidance (add URL, run --enroll, or place certs manually)
+- Exit code 0 (don't trigger restart loop)
+
+### Polling Token Resume
+
+If the service restarts during enrollment polling:
+1. Read `polling_token` from config.yaml (persisted during enrollment)
+2. If token exists and `enrollment.manager_url` is configured:
+   a. Resume polling from where left off
+   b. Don't re-register (host already has a pending request)
+3. On successful provisioning:
+   a. Clear `polling_token` from config.yaml
+   b. Continue to normal server startup
+
+### CLI Enrollment (`--enroll`)
 
-### CLI Invocation
 ```

 |------|-------------|
 | `--config <PATH>` or `-c` | Path to configuration file (default: `/etc/linux_patch_api/config.yaml`) |

+| `--enroll <MANAGER_URL>` | Run self-enrollment flow with manager at URL, then EXIT (does not start server) |

 | `--version` or `-V` | Print version information and exit |
 | `--help` or `-h` | Display help information and exit |
 
 ### Enrollment Mode Behavior
-- When `--enroll` is specified, the daemon executes the self-enrollment flow before starting the mTLS server
-- On enrollment success: proceeds to normal server startup with provisioned certificates
-- On enrollment failure: exits immediately with error code (no server started)
-- TLS verification disabled on initial manager connection (manager approval workflow provides security)
+
+- **`--enroll <URL>`**: Executes enrollment flow, provisions certs, then **exits with code 0**. Does NOT start server or bind port. Print guidance message on completion.
+- **Auto-enrollment (startup)**: Triggered when cert validation fails and `enrollment.manager_url` is configured. After provisioning, continues to normal server startup.
+- **`--renew-certs`**: Validates existing certs. If expiring within threshold or invalid, re-enrolls using `enrollment.manager_url` from config. Exits with code 0 after completion.
+- TLS verification is disabled on initial manager connection (manager approval workflow provides security)
+
+### Exit Codes
+
+| Code | Meaning | systemd Behavior |
+|------|---------|------------------|
+| 0 | Clean exit: no certs and no enrollment URL configured, or --enroll/--renew-certs success | No restart |
+| 1 | Error: config error, enrollment network failure, cert validation error | Restart with backoff |
+| 2 | Certs invalid, auto-enrollment in progress (will retry) | Restart with backoff |
 
 - **Phase 1 Acceptance Criteria:**
   - All endpoints functional with mTLS authentication

+- Add mandatory package cache refresh before patch_apply
+- Add health check cache refresh when stale (>4h)
+- Add cache status fields to health response
+- Add 404/fetch error retry with cache refresh
+- Add degraded health status on cache failure
+- New src/packages/cache.rs module
+
+* Tue May 20 2026 Echo <echo@moon-dragon.us> - 1.1.16-1
+- Add Pacman package manager backend for Arch Linux
+- Fix: Pacman backend not yet implemented error on Arch systems
+- Support pacman -Q for package listing, pacman -Qi for package details
+- Support pacman -Qu for patch/update detection
+- Fix Arch CI: add stale package cleanup and version verification
+
+* Tue May 20 2026 Echo <echo@moon-dragon.us> - 1.1.15-1
+- Add DNF package manager backend for Fedora/RHEL/CentOS 8+
+- Add YUM package manager backend for RHEL/CentOS 7
+- Fix: DNF backend not yet implemented error on Fedora systems
+- Support rpm -qa for package listing, rpm -qi for package details
+- Support dnf check-update (exit code 100) for patch detection
+- Support yum check-update (exit code 100) for patch detection
+
+* Tue May 20 2026 Echo <echo@moon-dragon.us> - 1.1.14-1
+- Fix RPM packaging: pre-build binary before tarball (like Alpine/Arch pattern)
+- Fix rpmbuild can't find cargo in PATH - binary now included in source tarball
+- Fix config file ownership: add %defattr(-,root,root,-) in %files section
+- Fix Requires: libsystemd -> systemd-libs for Fedora compatibility
+- Remove Requires: systemd (not needed, may not exist in containers)
+- Add stale RPM cleanup and version verification to build-rpm.sh

+- Fix RPM packaging: runtime deps, match Debian install behavior, comment BuildRequires for CI
+- Remove system user creation (service runs as root per systemd unit)
+- Fix ownership to root:root matching Debian package
+- Add openssl-libs and ca-certificates runtime dependencies
+
+* Mon May 18 2026 Echo <echo@moon-dragon.us> - 1.1.8-1

+# Alpine Packaging Root Cause Analysis
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-20
+**Author:** Echo
+**Status:** Fixed in v1.1.10
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+Alpine APK packages for linux-patch-api did not create required files on `apk add`:
+- No `/etc/linux_patch_api/config.yaml` (from config.yaml.example)
+- No `/etc/linux_patch_api/config.yaml.example`
+- No directories created
+- No service enabled
+- No post-install messages
+
+## Root Cause
+
+**The install script format was completely wrong for Alpine's `abuild` package builder.**
+
+### Technical Details
+
+Alpine's `abuild` (lines 247-257 of `/usr/bin/abuild`) validates install script suffixes against a whitelist:
+
+```shell
+for i in $install; do
+    pre-install|post-install|pre-upgrade|post-upgrade|pre-deinstall|post-deinstall);;
+    *) die "$i: unknown install script suffix"
+```
+
+**Valid suffixes:** `pre-install`, `post-install`, `pre-upgrade`, `post-upgrade`, `pre-deinstall`, `post-deinstall`
+
+**Invalid suffix used:** `.apk-install` — this caused `abuild` to die with `"unknown install script suffix"`
+
+**Why it wasn't caught:** The CI build script (`build-alpine.sh`) used `|| true` after `abuild`, which **silently masked the failure**. The APK was built without any install scripts, and `apk add` ran with no pre/post hooks.
+
+### Original (Broken) Format
+
+Single file `configs/linux-patch-api.apk-install` containing function definitions:
+```sh
+pre_install() { ... }
+post_install() { ... }
+pre_deinstall() { ... }
+post_deinstall() { ... }
+```
+
+APKBUILD referenced it as:
+```
+install="linux-patch-api.apk-install"
+```
+
+**Two fatal errors:**
+1. `.apk-install` is not a valid abuild suffix (should be `.pre-install`, `.post-install`, etc.)
+2. Function definitions (`pre_install()`) are NOT how abuild install scripts work — each must be a standalone shell script
+
+### Correct Format
+
+Four separate files, each a standalone shell script:
+- `linux-patch-api.pre-install` — runs before package files are laid down
+- `linux-patch-api.post-install` — runs after package files are laid down
+- `linux-patch-api.pre-deinstall` — runs before package removal
+- `linux-patch-api.post-deinstall` — runs after package removal
+
+APKBUILD references them as:
+```
+install="linux-patch-api.pre-install linux-patch-api.post-install linux-patch-api.pre-deinstall linux-patch-api.post-deinstall"
+```
+
+## Fix
+
+### Files Changed
+1. **Deleted** `configs/linux-patch-api.apk-install` (invalid format)
+2. **Created** `configs/linux-patch-api.pre-install` (create dirs, set permissions)
+3. **Created** `configs/linux-patch-api.post-install` (copy example configs, enable service)
+4. **Created** `configs/linux-patch-api.pre-deinstall` (stop and disable service)
+5. **Created** `configs/linux-patch-api.post-deinstall` (clean up empty dirs)
+6. **Updated** `build-alpine.sh` — copy 4 install scripts to workspace, update `install=` line in APKBUILD
+
+### Verification on Alpine Runner
+
+Inspected v1.1.10 APK contents:
+```
+.SIGN.RSA.root-69eeaa18.rsa.pub
+.PKGINFO
+.pre-install
+.post-install
+.pre-deinstall
+.post-deinstall
+etc/init.d/linux-patch-api
+etc/linux_patch_api/config.yaml.example
+etc/linux_patch_api/whitelist.yaml.example
+usr/bin/linux-patch-api
+var/lib/linux_patch_api/
+var/log/linux_patch_api/
+```
+
+All install scripts and example configs are now properly embedded in the APK.
+
+### abuild Validation
+
+Ran `abuild verify` on the Alpine runner with the new format:
+```
+>>> linux-patch-api: Checking install script suffixes...
+>>> linux-patch-api: Checking if install script names match pkgname...
+```
+
+Both checks PASSED. The old `.apk-install` format would have failed with `"unknown install script suffix"`.
+
+## Prevention
+
+1. **Always verify on actual target systems before pushing.** SSH to the runner, inspect the built artifact, test the install.
+2. **Read the tool's source code when documentation is unclear.** The abuild source code at `/usr/bin/abuild` clearly shows the valid suffixes.
+3. **Never use `|| true` to mask build failures.** The CI build script masked the abuild failure, hiding the root cause.
+4. **Never assume a file edit is correct without runtime verification.** Multiple edits to .apk-install were made without testing on Alpine.
