feat(pki): add CRL generation, distribution endpoint, and enrollment bundle extension (#26)

* feat(pki): add CRL generation, distribution endpoint, and enrollment bundle extension

Implements manager-side CRL infrastructure for issue #7:
- Add CertAuthority::generate_crl() using rcgen 0.13
- Add GET /api/v1/pki/crl.pem public endpoint
- Extend PkiBundle with ca_chain and crl_pem fields
- Update enrollment route to include CRL in bundle
- Mount pki route as public endpoint
- Add proptest dev-dependency

* style: fix cargo fmt in enrollment.rs

+# Issue #7: Certificate Revocation Enforcement — Full CRL Design
+
+**GitHub Issue:** https://github.com/Draco-Lunaris/Linux-Patch-Manager/issues/7
+**Companion issue (agent repo):** https://github.com/Draco-Lunaris/Linux-Patch-Api/issues/20
+**Status:** Design finalized — implementation pending
+**Repos affected:** linux-patch-manager (this), linux-patch-api (agent)
+**Last updated:** 2026-06-05
+
+---
+
+## 1. Goal
+
+Enforce certificate revocation at the mTLS handshake by having the manager (CA operator) publish a Certificate Revocation List (CRL) and the agent (linux-patch-api) consult it during TLS client certificate validation.
+
+**Connection direction:** The manager (this repo) is the mTLS client. The agent (linux-patch-api) is the mTLS server. The manager connects TO the agent and presents a client cert. The agent validates it. Agent-to-manager connections occur only for enrollment.
+
+---

+
+### 2.3 Sub-CA handling
+
+**Both root and sub-CA modes are supported.**
+
+- **Root mode:** Manager is a self-signed CA. The CA cert in the bundle is also the trust anchor. CRL signature chains directly to it.
+- **Sub-CA mode:** Manager is a sub-CA under an external root. The enrollment bundle includes the full chain: external root + manager's intermediate cert. The agent pins both. CRL signature chains up to the external root.
+
+**Required code change for sub-CA support:** Extend `PkiBundle` to include the full chain (new `ca_chain` field containing intermediate + root as a single PEM bundle). The existing single `ca_crt` field is preserved for backward compat (it becomes the leaf-most cert in the chain).
+
+The external root's own CRL is **out of scope** for this design. Documented assumption: the external root is long-lived and trusted by the agent's system trust store, or the operator accepts the risk of a long-lived external root.
+
+### 2.4 Cert lifetime
+
+**No change to current 1-year lifetime.** Revocation lag of up to 24h is acceptable given the 1-year cert validity. Shortening to 90 days was considered and deferred (Phase 1+ works correctly with either lifetime).
+
+---
+
+## 3. Final Decisions (12 concerns walked through with Kelly)
+
+| # | Concern | Decision |
+|---|---------|----------|
+| 1 | Sub-CA enrollment bundle chain | Extend `PkiBundle` to include full chain (intermediate + root) as new `ca_chain` field. Single `ca_crt` field preserved for backward compat. |
+| 2 | CRL generation library | rcgen 0.13 on manager (sign). x509-parser on agent (parse). webpki for chain validation in custom verifier. No new system deps. |
+| 3 | Custom ClientCertVerifier | Use rustls `danger::ClientCertVerifier` trait. Wrapper struct delegates chain validation to `WebPkiClientVerifier`, adds serial lookup against parsed CRL. Only ~80 lines of custom code. |
+| 4 | Stale-CRL failure mode | (c) Degraded. Continue serving with stale CRL, log warning, health check reports degraded. Missing CRL = degraded. Invalid signature = refuse to start (fail-closed). |
+| 5 | CRL size at scale | Not a concern. Max 2500 clients/manager. CRLs KB-range. No index on (status, not_after) needed. |
+| 6 | Health check backward compat | Missing `crl_status` field from older agent = degraded (not unhealthy). New agent with missing > 24h after enrollment = unhealthy. UI: host details page + list icon + dashboard widget. |
+| 7 | Test coverage | Layers 1-3 (unit + property + integration) required for ship. Layer 4 (E2E docker-compose) incremental. Layer 5 (fuzz) added now. Property-based tests with `proptest` added now. |
+| 8 | Deployment order | 6 PRs sequential. No feature flag (disk state is the implicit flag). All-at-once rollout for PR 2 (agent). |
+| 9 | Documentation | Full scope. New `docs/security/revocation.md` as top-level doc. Mermaid diagrams in markdown (GitHub renders natively). |
+| 10 | Phasing risk | Low. Pre-production stage, no live users to disrupt. Bounded window between PR 1 and PR 2. |
+| 11 | mTLS direction | Confirmed. Manager = client, agent = server. Agent-to-manager only for enrollment. |
+| 12 | New host enrollment during CRL outage | Enrollment succeeds without CRL. Health check reports missing. Agent fetches CRL on next refresh cycle. |
+
+---
+
+## 4. Phased Implementation (6 PRs)
+
+### PR 1 — Manager: CRL generation + endpoint + enrollment bundle
+
+**Repo:** linux-patch-manager (this)
+**Scope:**
+- Extend `PkiBundle` to include full chain (new `ca_chain` field)
+- Add `generate_crl()` to `pm-ca/src/ca.rs` using rcgen 0.13
+- Add `GET /api/v1/pki/crl.pem` route in new `crates/pm-web/src/routes/pki.rs`
+- Include CRL PEM in enrollment response
+- Background task: regenerate CRL every 12h and on every `revoke_cert` call
+- No DB schema changes
+
+**Testing:**
+- Unit tests for `generate_crl()` (revoked serials present, non-revoked absent, expired excluded)
+- Property tests (proptest) for CRL generation roundtrip
+- Fuzz harness for CRL generation
+- Integration test: `GET /pki/crl.pem` returns 200 + valid PEM + correct `Cache-Control`
+- Integration test: enrollment bundle includes CRL
+
+**Backward compat:** Endpoint is dark until an agent is updated to consume it. Older agents ignore it. Zero impact on existing flows.
+
+---
+
+### PR 2 — Agent: CRL consumption + custom verifier
+
+**Repo:** linux-patch-api
+**Scope:**
+- New `src/auth/crl.rs` module: CRL load, signature verification, in-memory serial map (ArcSwap)
+- New `src/auth/crl_refresh.rs`: background task fetching CRL every 24h from `GET {manager_url}/api/v1/pki/crl.pem`
+- Extend `src/auth/mtls.rs`: replace direct `WebPkiClientVerifier` usage with `CrlClientCertVerifier` wrapper
+- Persist CRL to `/etc/linux-patch-api/certs/crl.pem`
+- Config additions: `crl_path`, `crl_refresh_interval`, `manager_url`
+
+**Custom verifier (sketch):**
+
+```rust
+pub struct CrlClientCertVerifier {
+    inner: Arc<dyn rustls::client::danger::ClientCertVerifier>,
+    crl: arc_swap::ArcSwap<Crl>,
+}
+
+impl rustls::client::danger::ClientCertVerifier for CrlClientCertVerifier {
+    fn verify_client_cert(
+        &self,
+        end_entity: &CertificateDer<'_>,
+        intermediates: &[CertificateDer<'_>],
+        now: UnixTime,
+    ) -> Result<ClientCertVerified, rustls::Error> {
+        // Delegate chain validation to WebPKI (battle-tested)
+        self.inner.verify_client_cert(end_entity, intermediates, now)?;
+        
+        // Extract serial from the leaf cert
+        let serial = extract_serial(end_entity)
+            .map_err(|e| rustls::Error::General(format!("serial extract: {}", e)))?;
+        
+        // Check CRL (O(1) hash lookup)
+        let crl = self.crl.load();
+        if crl.is_revoked(serial) {
+            return Err(rustls::Error::General(format!(
+                "cert serial {} is revoked", serial
+            )));
+        }
+        
+        Ok(ClientCertVerified::assertion())
+    }
+    
+    // Delegate remaining trait methods to self.inner
+    fn supported_verify_schemes(&self) -> Vec<rustls::SignatureScheme> {
+        self.inner.supported_verify_schemes()
+    }
+    
+    fn verify_tls12_signature(&self, ...) -> Result<...> {
+        self.inner.verify_tls12_signature(...)
+    }
+    
+    fn verify_tls13_signature(&self, ...) -> Result<...> {
+        self.inner.verify_tls13_signature(...)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Backward compat:** If CRL file is missing or fails signature verification, fall back to `WebPkiClientVerifier` directly (current behavior). Log warning. Health check from manager reports degraded.
+
+**Testing:**
+- Unit tests: CRL load (valid, malformed, missing, tampered, expired)
+- Unit tests: custom verifier (valid cert accepted, revoked cert rejected, no false positives)
+- Property tests (proptest): random certs + random CRLs, no false negs/pos
+- Fuzz harness for CRL load and verifier
+- Integration test: end-to-end mTLS (valid cert connects, revoked cert rejected)
+- Integration test: stale CRL fallback to WebPKI (no connection rejection)
+
+---
+
+### PR 3 — Manager: Health check schema + UI
+
+**Repo:** linux-patch-manager (this)
+**Scope:**
+- Extend health check response schema to include `crl_status` and `crl_age_seconds` fields (optional, backward compat)
+- Add UI: CRL section in host details page
+- Add hosts list icon (green/yellow/red) for CRL status
+- Add dashboard widget: "hosts with degraded CRL: N"
+
+**Backward compat:** Older agents don't report these fields → UI shows "CRL not configured". No regression.
+
+---
+
+### PR 4 — Agent: Health response includes CRL status
+
+**Repo:** linux-patch-api
+**Scope:**
+- Add `crl_status` and `crl_age_seconds` to the agent's health response payload
+- Logic: `valid` if CRL loaded + signature good + not expired, `expired` if `nextUpdate` passed, `missing` if no CRL on disk, `invalid` if signature fails
+
+**Backward compat:** Field is additive. Manager treats missing field as "unknown" / "missing".
+
+---
+
+### PR 5 — Manager: Health aggregation logic
+
+**Repo:** linux-patch-manager (this)
+**Scope:**
+- Aggregate per-host CRL health into the host's overall health
+- Implement severity rules: invalid signature → unhealthy; missing > 24h on new agent → unhealthy; missing on old agent → degraded; > 25h old → degraded; otherwise healthy
+- Add audit events: `CrlStaleDetected`, `CrlMissing`, `CrlInvalid`
+
+**Backward compat:** Logic only fires when PR 3 + PR 4 are deployed. Safe to merge ahead of those.
+
+---
+
+### PR 6 — E2E integration test harness
+
+**Repos:** both (new `tests/e2e/` directory in this repo, mirroring setup in agent repo)
+**Scope:**
+- docker-compose harness running both pm-web and linux-patch-api
+- Test scenarios:
+  - Issue → enroll → connect (fresh agent connects successfully)
+  - Issue → enroll → revoke → refresh → connect (rejected)
+  - Issue → enroll → revoke → no refresh → connect (succeeds with stale CRL + warning)
+  - Manager down → connect (succeeds with stale CRL + degraded health)
+- Independent CI for each repo; full E2E runs on main branch merges
+
+**Backward compat:** Test-only, no production impact.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Failure Modes and Operational Behavior
+
+### 5.1 Stale CRL on agent
+
+**Scenario:** Agent's CRL has `nextUpdate` passed. Background refresh fails (manager unreachable).
+
+**Behavior:**
+- Agent continues serving mTLS connections using the stale CRL
+- Logs warning every refresh attempt
+- Reports `crl_status=expired` and `crl_age_seconds` in health response
+- Manager's health aggregation marks host as `degraded`
+- Worst case: ~24h of accepting a cert that was revoked after the agent's CRL was generated
+- The cert's `not_after` is still the hard backstop (1 year from issuance)
+
+### 5.2 Missing CRL on agent
+
+**Scenario:** New agent enrolls, but CRL generation fails on the manager. Or older agent predates CRL feature.
+
+**Behavior:**
+- Agent starts with no CRL on disk
+- Falls back to `WebPkiClientVerifier` (chain validation only, no CRL check)
+- Logs warning, reports `crl_status=missing`
+- Manager's health aggregation marks host as `degraded`
+- If host is a newer agent: 24h after enrollment without CRL → escalates to `unhealthy`
+- If host is an older agent: stays `degraded` indefinitely (feature gap, not a failure)
+
+### 5.3 Invalid CRL signature on agent
+
+**Scenario:** CRL file is corrupted, or the manager's CA key was compromised.
+
+**Behavior:**
+- Agent refuses to load the CRL
+- **Refuses to start the mTLS server** (fail-closed here, because invalid signature is a security event)
+- Logs critical error
+- Reports `crl_status=invalid` in health response
+- Operator must investigate: check manager's CA, re-fetch CRL manually, or restore from backup
+
+### 5.4 Manager unreachable during enrollment
+
+**Scenario:** New agent tries to enroll. Manager is down.
+
+**Behavior:**
+- Enrollment fails (manager is required for cert issuance)
+- Agent retries on its configured enrollment schedule
+- Once manager is back, enrollment succeeds, agent receives cert + CA + CRL (if available)
+
+### 5.5 New host enrollment during CRL outage
+
+**Scenario:** Manager is up, cert issuance works, but CRL generation fails (e.g., DB issue during `generate_crl`).
+
+**Behavior:**
+- Enrollment succeeds
+- Agent receives cert + CA chain, but **no CRL** in the bundle
+- Agent starts with no CRL, falls back to WebPKI
+- Reports `crl_status=missing`
+- Next 24h refresh attempts to fetch CRL from `/pki/crl.pem`
+- If CRL generation is fixed by then, agent picks it up on next refresh
+- If still failing, agent continues in degraded mode
+
+---
+
+## 6. Acceptance Criteria
+
+### Phase 1 (Manager-side MVP)
+
+- [ ] `generate_crl()` produces a valid X.509 CRL signed by the same CA key that signs leaf certs
+- [ ] CRL includes only certs where `status='revoked' AND not_after > NOW()`

+- [ ] Background task regenerates CRL every 12h
+- [ ] `revoke_cert` triggers immediate CRL regeneration
+- [ ] Unit tests, property tests, fuzz harness, integration tests all pass
+
+### Phase 2 (Agent-side consumption)
+
+- [ ] Agent fetches CRL on enrollment from enrollment bundle
+- [ ] Agent persists CRL to `/etc/linux-patch-api/certs/crl.pem`
+- [ ] Agent verifies CRL signature against pinned CA on load
+- [ ] Agent uses `CrlClientCertVerifier` wrapper that delegates to WebPKI + adds CRL check
+- [ ] Revoked cert is rejected at mTLS handshake with clear error
+- [ ] Valid (non-revoked) cert is accepted
+- [ ] Background task refreshes CRL every 24h (configurable)
+- [ ] Missing CRL falls back to WebPKI (degraded mode, not fail-closed)
+- [ ] Invalid CRL signature causes agent to refuse to start
+- [ ] Unit tests, property tests, fuzz harness, integration tests all pass
+
+### Phase 3 (Health monitoring + UI)
+
+- [ ] Health response includes `crl_status` and `crl_age_seconds`
+- [ ] Host details page shows CRL section (status, age, next update, last refresh)
+- [ ] Hosts list shows CRL status icon (green/yellow/red)
+- [ ] Dashboard widget shows count of hosts with degraded CRL
+- [ ] Health aggregation: invalid signature → unhealthy
+- [ ] Health aggregation: new agent missing > 24h → unhealthy
+- [ ] Health aggregation: old agent missing → degraded
+- [ ] Health aggregation: > 25h old → degraded
+- [ ] Audit events: `CertRevoked`, `CrlGenerated`, `CrlFetched`, `CrlStaleDetected`, `CrlMissing`, `CrlInvalid`
+
+### Phase 4 (E2E tests)
+
+- [ ] docker-compose harness runs both pm-web and linux-patch-api
+- [ ] E2E test: issue → enroll → connect (succeeds)
+- [ ] E2E test: issue → enroll → revoke → refresh → connect (rejected)
+- [ ] E2E test: issue → enroll → revoke → no refresh → connect (succeeds with stale CRL)
+- [ ] E2E test: manager down → connect (succeeds with stale CRL, degraded health)

+
+---
+
+## 7. Sign-off
+
+**All 12 concerns resolved.** Design is finalized. Implementation can begin.
+
+**Next action:** Start PR 1 (Manager: CRL generation + endpoint + enrollment bundle).
+
+The companion issue on linux-patch-api (#20) is filed and tracks the agent-side changes for PR 2 and PR 4.
+
+**Documented assumptions (must be confirmed before production deployment):**
+1. The external root in sub-CA mode is long-lived and trusted. Its own CRL is not consulted.
+2. 1-year cert lifetime is acceptable; revocation lag of up to 24h is the operational upper bound.
+3. Operators accept that during a CRL refresh failure, revoked certs may be accepted for up to 24h (the cert's `not_after` is the hard backstop).
+4. Max ~2500 clients per manager. If this changes, revisit CRL size and consider OCSP.

+# PR 1: Manager-side CRL generation + endpoint + enrollment bundle
+
+**Branch:** `feat/7-crl-manager-side`
+**Target issue:** https://github.com/Draco-Lunaris/Linux-Patch-Manager/issues/7
+
+## Pre-implementation
+
+- [x] Read existing `pm-ca/src/ca.rs` to understand CA structure
+- [x] Confirm rcgen 0.13 is the chosen library
+- [x] Confirm sub-CA handling: extend `PkiBundle` with `ca_chain` field
+- [x] Read design doc decisions table (concerns 1-12)
+
+## Code changes
+
+- [ ] **pm-ca/src/ca.rs**: Add `generate_crl(db: &PgPool) -> Result<String>` function
+  - Query `certificates` for `status='revoked' AND not_after > NOW()`
+  - Build CRL using rcgen 0.13 `CertificateRevocationList`
+  - Sign with CA private key
+  - Return PEM-encoded CRL
+
+- [ ] **pm-core/src/models.rs**: Extend `PkiBundle` with `ca_chain: String` field
+  - Concatenated PEM bundle of full chain (intermediate + root) for sub-CA mode
+  - For root mode, contains just the root cert (same as ca_crt)
+
+- [ ] **pm-web/src/routes/pki.rs** (NEW): `GET /api/v1/pki/crl.pem` route
+  - Public endpoint (no auth, CRLs are self-authenticating)
+  - `Cache-Control: max-age=3600`
+  - Returns latest cached CRL (regenerated on schedule or on revoke)
+
+- [ ] **pm-web/src/routes/enrollment.rs**: Include CRL in enrollment response
+  - Fetch current CRL via `generate_crl()`
+  - Add `crl_pem: String` to response
+
+- [ ] **pm-web/src/main.rs**: Wire up background CRL regeneration task
+  - Regenerate every 12 hours
+  - Hook into `revoke_cert` to trigger immediate regeneration
+  - Store latest CRL in shared state (ArcSwap or similar)
+
+- [ ] **crates/pm-web/src/state.rs** (or similar): Shared state for cached CRL
+
+## Tests
+
+- [ ] **Unit tests** in `pm-ca/src/ca.rs`:
+  - `generate_crl` produces valid X.509 CRL signed by test CA
+  - Revoked serials appear in CRL
+  - Non-revoked serials do not appear
+  - Expired certs (not_after < now) are excluded
+  - Empty table produces CRL with zero revoked entries
+
+- [ ] **Property tests** (proptest):
+  - Random revoked cert data: CRL is always parseable, signature always verifies
+  - Single-byte mutations to CRL fail signature verification
+
+- [ ] **Fuzz harness** (cargo-fuzz):
+  - Target: `pm_ca::ca::generate_crl`
+  - Target: `pm_ca::ca::parse_crl` (if we add parsing)
+
+- [ ] **Integration tests** in `pm-web/tests/`:
+  - `GET /pki/crl.pem` returns 200 + valid PEM + correct Cache-Control
+  - Enrollment bundle includes CRL
+  - Enrollment bundle includes `ca_chain` field
+
+## Documentation
+
