# MCIAS Project Plan
Discrete implementation steps with acceptance criteria.
See ARCHITECTURE.md for design rationale.
---
2026-03-16 15:21:26 -07:00
## Status
**v1.0.0 tagged (2026-03-15). All phases complete.**
All packages pass `go test ./...`; `golangci-lint run ./...` clean.
See PROGRESS.md for the detailed development log.
Phases 09 match the original plan. Phases 1013 document significant
features implemented beyond the original plan scope.
---
## Phase 0 — Repository Bootstrap **[COMPLETE]**
2026-03-11 11:26:47 -07:00
### Step 0.1: Go module and dependency setup
**Acceptance criteria:**
2026-03-27 02:03:46 -07:00
- `go.mod` exists with module path `git.wntrmute.dev/mc/mcias`
2026-03-11 11:26:47 -07:00
- Required dependencies declared: `modernc.org/sqlite` (CGo-free SQLite),
`golang.org/x/crypto` (Argon2, Ed25519 helpers), `github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5`,
`github.com/pelletier/go-toml/v2`, `github.com/google/uuid`,
`git.wntrmute.dev/kyle/goutils`
- `go mod tidy` succeeds; `go build ./...` succeeds on empty stubs
### Step 0.2: .gitignore
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `.gitignore` excludes: build output (`mciassrv`, `mciasctl`), `*.db`,
`*.db-wal`, `*.db-shm`, test coverage files, editor artifacts
---
2026-03-16 15:21:26 -07:00
## Phase 1 — Foundational Packages **[COMPLETE]**
2026-03-11 11:26:47 -07:00
### Step 1.1: `internal/model` — shared data types
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `Account`, `Role`, `Token`, `AuditEvent`, `PGCredential` structs defined
- Account types and statuses as typed constants
- No external dependencies (pure data definitions)
- Tests: struct instantiation and constant validation
### Step 1.2: `internal/config` — configuration loading
**Acceptance criteria:**
- TOML config parsed into a `Config` struct matching ARCHITECTURE.md §11
- Validation: required fields present, listen_addr parseable, TLS paths
non-empty, Argon2 params within safe bounds (memory >= 64MB, time >= 2)
- Master key config: exactly one of `passphrase_env` or `keyfile` set
- Tests: valid config round-trips; missing required field → error; unsafe
Argon2 params rejected
### Step 1.3: `internal/crypto` — key management and encryption helpers
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `GenerateEd25519KeyPair() (crypto/ed25519.PublicKey, crypto/ed25519.PrivateKey, error)`
- `MarshalPrivateKeyPEM(key crypto/ed25519.PrivateKey) ([]byte, error)` (PKCS#8)
- `ParsePrivateKeyPEM(pemData []byte) (crypto/ed25519.PrivateKey, error)`
- `SealAESGCM(key, plaintext []byte) (ciphertext, nonce []byte, err error)`
- `OpenAESGCM(key, nonce, ciphertext []byte) ([]byte, error)`
- `DeriveKey(passphrase string, salt []byte) ([]byte, error)` — Argon2id KDF
for master key derivation (separate from password hashing)
- Key is always 32 bytes (AES-256)
- `crypto/rand` used for all nonce/salt generation
- Tests: seal/open round-trip; open with wrong key → error; PEM round-trip;
nonces are unique across calls
### Step 1.4: `internal/db` — database layer
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `Open(path string) (*DB, error)` opens/creates SQLite DB with WAL mode and
foreign keys enabled
- `Migrate(db *DB) error` applies schema from ARCHITECTURE.md §9 idempotently
(version table tracks applied migrations)
- CRUD for `accounts`, `account_roles`, `token_revocation`, `system_tokens`,
`pg_credentials`, `audit_log`, `server_config`
- All queries use prepared statements (no string concatenation)
- Tests: in-memory SQLite (`:memory:`); each CRUD operation; FK constraint
enforcement; migration idempotency

2026-03-16 15:21:26 -07:00
## Phase 2 — Authentication Core **[COMPLETE]**
2026-03-11 11:26:47 -07:00
### Step 2.1: `internal/token` — JWT issuance and validation
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `IssueToken(key ed25519.PrivateKey, claims Claims) (string, error)`
- Header: `{"alg":"EdDSA","typ":"JWT"}`
- Claims: `iss`, `sub`, `iat`, `exp`, `jti` (UUID), `roles`
- `ValidateToken(key ed25519.PublicKey, tokenString string) (Claims, error)`
- **Must** check `alg` header before any other processing; reject non-EdDSA
- Validates `exp`, `iat`, `iss`, `jti` presence
- Returns structured error types for: expired, invalid signature, wrong alg,
missing claim
- `RevokeToken(db *DB, jti string, reason string) error`
- `PruneExpiredTokens(db *DB) (int64, error)` — removes rows past expiry
- Tests: happy path; expired token rejected; wrong alg (none/HS256/RS256)
rejected; tampered signature rejected; missing jti rejected; revoked token
checked by caller; pruning removes only expired rows
### Step 2.2: `internal/auth` — login and credential verification
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `HashPassword(password string, params ArgonParams) (string, error)` — returns
PHC-format string
- `VerifyPassword(password, hash string) (bool, error)` — constant-time;
re-hashes if params differ (upgrade path)
- `ValidateTOTP(secret []byte, code string) (bool, error)` — RFC 6238,
1-window tolerance, constant-time
- `Login(ctx, db, key, cfg, req LoginRequest) (LoginResponse, error)`
- Orchestrates: load account → verify status → verify password → verify TOTP
(if required) → issue JWT → write token_revocation row → write audit_log
- On any failure: write audit_log (login_fail or login_totp_fail); return
generic error to caller (no information about which step failed)
- Tests: successful login; wrong password (timing: compare duration against
a threshold — at minimum assert no short-circuit); wrong TOTP; suspended
account; deleted account; TOTP enrolled but not provided; constant-time
comparison verified (both branches take comparable time)

2026-03-16 15:21:26 -07:00
## Phase 3 — HTTP Server **[COMPLETE]**
2026-03-11 11:26:47 -07:00
### Step 3.1: `internal/middleware` — HTTP middleware
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `RequestLogger` — logs method, path, status, duration, IP
- `RequireAuth(key ed25519.PublicKey, db *DB)` — extracts Bearer token,
validates, checks revocation, injects claims into context; returns 401 on
failure
- `RequireRole(role string)` — checks claims from context for role; returns
403 on failure
- `RateLimit(rps float64, burst int)` — per-IP token bucket; returns 429 on
limit exceeded
- Tests: logger captures fields; RequireAuth rejects missing/invalid/revoked
tokens; RequireRole rejects insufficient roles; RateLimit triggers after
burst exceeded
### Step 3.2: `internal/server` — HTTP handlers and router
**Acceptance criteria:**
- Router wired per ARCHITECTURE.md §8 (all endpoints listed)
- `POST /v1/auth/login` — delegates to `auth.Login`; returns `{token, expires_at}`
- `POST /v1/auth/logout` — revokes current token from context; 204
- `POST /v1/auth/renew` — validates current token, issues new one, revokes old
- `POST /v1/token/validate` — validates submitted token; returns claims
- `DELETE /v1/token/{jti}` — admin or role-scoped; revokes by JTI
- `GET /v1/health` — 200 `{"status":"ok"}`
- `GET /v1/keys/public` — returns Ed25519 public key as JWK
- `POST /v1/accounts` — admin; creates account
- `GET /v1/accounts` — admin; lists accounts (no password hashes in response)
- `GET /v1/accounts/{id}` — admin; single account
- `PATCH /v1/accounts/{id}` — admin; update status/fields
- `DELETE /v1/accounts/{id}` — admin; soft-delete + revoke all tokens
- `GET|PUT /v1/accounts/{id}/roles` — admin; get/replace role set
- `POST /v1/auth/totp/enroll` — returns TOTP secret + otpauth URI
- `POST /v1/auth/totp/confirm` — confirms TOTP enrollment
- `DELETE /v1/auth/totp` — admin; removes TOTP from account
- `GET|PUT /v1/accounts/{id}/pgcreds` — get/set Postgres credentials
2026-03-16 15:21:26 -07:00
- `GET /v1/pgcreds` — list all accessible credentials (owned + granted)
2026-03-11 11:26:47 -07:00
- Credential fields (password hash, TOTP secret, Postgres password) are
**never** included in any API response
- Tests: each endpoint happy path; auth middleware applied correctly; invalid
JSON body → 400; credential fields absent from all responses
### Step 3.3: `cmd/mciassrv` — server binary
**Acceptance criteria:**
- Reads config file path from `--config` flag
- Loads config, derives master key, opens DB, runs migrations, loads/generates
signing key
- Starts HTTPS listener on configured address
- Graceful shutdown on SIGINT/SIGTERM (30s drain)
- If no signing key exists in DB, generates one and stores it encrypted
- Integration test: start server on random port, hit `/v1/health`, assert 200

- All commands make HTTPS requests to mciassrv (base URL from `-server` flag
2026-03-11 11:26:47 -07:00
or `MCIAS_SERVER` env var)
- Tests: flag parsing; missing required flags → error; help text complete

2026-03-16 15:21:26 -07:00
## Phase 5 — End-to-End Tests and Hardening **[COMPLETE]**
2026-03-11 11:26:47 -07:00
### Step 5.1: End-to-end test suite
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `TestE2ELoginLogout` — create account, login, validate token, logout,

- `go test -race ./...` passes with zero race conditions
- Manual review checklist:
- [ ] No password/token/secret in any log line (grep audit)

## Phase 6 — mciasdb: Database Maintenance Tool **[COMPLETE]**
See ARCHITECTURE.md §16 for full design rationale, trust model, and command
surface.
### Step 6.1: `cmd/mciasdb` — binary skeleton and config loading
**Acceptance criteria:**
- Binary at `cmd/mciasdb/main.go` parses `--config` flag
- Loads `[database]` and `[master_key]` sections from mciassrv config format
- Derives master key (passphrase or keyfile, identical logic to mciassrv)
- Opens SQLite DB with WAL mode and FK enforcement (reuses `internal/db`)
- Exits with error if DB cannot be opened (e.g., busy-timeout exceeded)
- Help text lists all subcommands
### Step 6.2: Schema subcommands
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `mciasdb schema verify` — opens DB, reports current schema version, exits 0
if up-to-date, exits 1 if migrations pending
- `mciasdb schema migrate` — applies any pending migrations, reports each one
applied, exits 0
- Tests: verify on fresh DB reports version 0; migrate advances to current
version; verify after migrate exits 0
### Step 6.3: Account and role subcommands
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `mciasdb account list` — prints uuid, username, type, status for all accounts
- `mciasdb account get --id UUID` — prints single account record
- `mciasdb account create --username NAME --type human|system` — inserts row,
prints new UUID
- `mciasdb account set-password --id UUID` — prompts twice (confirm), re-hashes
with Argon2id, updates row; no `--password` flag permitted
- `mciasdb account set-status --id UUID --status STATUS` — updates status
- `mciasdb account reset-totp --id UUID` — clears totp_required and
totp_secret_enc
- `mciasdb role list --id UUID` — prints roles
- `mciasdb role grant --id UUID --role ROLE` — inserts role row
- `mciasdb role revoke --id UUID --role ROLE` — deletes role row
- All write operations append an audit log row with actor tagged `mciasdb`
- Tests: each subcommand happy path against in-memory SQLite; unknown UUID
returns error; set-password with mismatched confirmation returns error
### Step 6.4: Token subcommands
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `mciasdb token list --id UUID` — prints jti, issued_at, expires_at,
revoked_at for account
- `mciasdb token revoke --jti JTI` — sets revoked_at = now on the row
- `mciasdb token revoke-all --id UUID` — revokes all non-revoked tokens for
account
- `mciasdb prune tokens` — deletes rows from `token_revocation` where
expires_at < now; prints count removed
- All write operations append an audit log row
- Tests: revoke on unknown JTI returns error; revoke-all on account with no
active tokens is a no-op (exits 0); prune removes only expired rows
### Step 6.5: Audit log subcommands
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `mciasdb audit tail [--n N]` — prints last N events (default 50), newest last
- `mciasdb audit query --account UUID` — filters by actor_id or target_id
- `mciasdb audit query --type EVENT_TYPE` — filters by event_type
- `mciasdb audit query --since TIMESTAMP` — filters by event_time >= RFC-3339
timestamp
- Flags are combinable (AND semantics)
- `--json` flag on any audit subcommand emits newline-delimited JSON
- Tests: tail returns correct count; query filters correctly; --json output is
valid JSON
### Step 6.6: Postgres credentials subcommands
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `mciasdb pgcreds get --id UUID` — decrypts and prints host, port, db,
username, password with a warning header that output is sensitive
- `mciasdb pgcreds set --id UUID --host H --port P --db D --user U` — prompts
for password interactively (no `--password` flag), encrypts with AES-256-GCM,
stores row
- All write operations append an audit log row
- Tests: get on account with no pgcreds returns error; set then get round-trips
correctly (decrypted value matches original)
### Step 6.7: .gitignore and documentation
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `.gitignore` updated to exclude `mciasdb` binary
- README.md updated with mciasdb usage section (when to use vs mciasctl,
config requirements, example commands)
- `PROGRESS.md` updated to reflect Phase 6 complete
---
2026-03-16 15:21:26 -07:00
## Phase 7 — gRPC Interface **[COMPLETE]**
See ARCHITECTURE.md §17 for full design rationale, proto definitions, and
transport security requirements.
### Step 7.1: Protobuf definitions and generated code
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `proto/mcias/v1/` directory contains `.proto` files for all service groups:
2026-03-16 15:21:26 -07:00
`auth.proto`, `token.proto`, `account.proto`, `policy.proto`, `admin.proto`,
`common.proto`
- All RPC methods mirror the REST API surface (see ARCHITECTURE.md §8 and §17)
- `proto/generate.go` contains a `//go:generate protoc ...` directive that
produces Go stubs under `gen/mcias/v1/` using `protoc-gen-go` and
`protoc-gen-go-grpc`
- Protobuf field conventions: `snake_case` field names, `google.protobuf.Timestamp`
for all time fields, no credential fields in response messages (same exclusion
rules as JSON API)
- `go generate ./...` re-runs `protoc` idempotently
- Tests: generated code compiles cleanly (`go build ./...` succeeds)
### Step 7.2: `internal/grpcserver` — gRPC handler implementations
**Acceptance criteria:**
- Package `internal/grpcserver` implements all generated gRPC service interfaces
- Handlers delegate to the same `internal/auth`, `internal/token`, and
`internal/db` packages used by the REST server — no duplicated logic
- Authentication: Bearer token extracted from gRPC metadata key `authorization`,
validated via `internal/middleware` logic (same JWT validation path)
- Admin RPCs require the `admin` role (checked identically to REST middleware)
- Errors mapped to canonical gRPC status codes:
- Unauthenticated → `codes.Unauthenticated`
- Forbidden → `codes.PermissionDenied`
- Not found → `codes.NotFound`
- Invalid input → `codes.InvalidArgument`
- Internal error → `codes.Internal` (no internal detail leaked to caller)
- Tests: unit tests for each RPC handler; unauthenticated calls rejected;
credential fields absent from all response messages
### Step 7.3: TLS and interceptors
**Acceptance criteria:**
- gRPC server uses the same TLS certificate and key as the REST server (loaded
from config); minimum TLS 1.2 enforced via `tls.Config`
- Unary server interceptor chain:
2026-03-16 15:21:26 -07:00
1. Sealed interceptor (blocks all RPCs when vault sealed, except Health)
2. Request logger (method name, peer IP, status, duration)
3. Auth interceptor (extracts Bearer token, validates, injects claims into
`context.Context`)
2026-03-16 15:21:26 -07:00
4. Rate-limit interceptor (per-IP token bucket, same parameters as REST)
- No credential material logged by any interceptor
- Tests: interceptor chain applied correctly; rate-limit triggers after burst
### Step 7.4: `cmd/mciassrv` integration — dual-stack server
**Acceptance criteria:**
- mciassrv starts both the REST listener and the gRPC listener on separate ports
(gRPC port configurable: `[server] grpc_addr`; defaults to same host, port+1)
- Both listeners share the same signing key, DB connection, and config
- Graceful shutdown drains both servers within the configured drain window
- Config: `grpc_addr` added to `[server]` section (optional; if absent, gRPC
listener is disabled)
- Integration test: start server, connect gRPC client, call `Health` RPC,
assert OK response
### Step 7.5: `cmd/mciasgrpcctl` — gRPC admin CLI (optional companion)
**Acceptance criteria:**
- Binary at `cmd/mciasgrpcctl/main.go` with subcommands mirroring `mciasctl`
- Uses generated gRPC client stubs; connects to `--server` address with TLS
- Auth via `--token` flag or `MCIAS_TOKEN` env var (sent as gRPC metadata)
- Custom CA cert support identical to mciasctl
- Tests: flag parsing; missing required flags → error; help text complete
### Step 7.6: Documentation and commit
**Acceptance criteria:**
- ARCHITECTURE.md §17 written (proto service layout, transport security,
interceptor chain, dual-stack operation)
- README.md updated with gRPC section: enabling gRPC, connecting clients,
example `grpcurl` invocations
- `.gitignore` updated to exclude the `mciasgrpcctl` binary (using a
root-anchored path `/mciasgrpcctl`); generated code in `gen/` is committed
to the repository so that consumers do not need the protoc toolchain
- `PROGRESS.md` updated to reflect Phase 7 complete
---
2026-03-16 15:21:26 -07:00
## Phase 8 — Operational Artifacts **[COMPLETE]**
See ARCHITECTURE.md §18 for full design rationale and artifact inventory.
### Step 8.1: systemd service unit
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `dist/mcias.service` — a hardened systemd unit for mciassrv:
- `Type=notify` with `sd_notify` support (or `Type=simple` with explicit
`ExecStart` if notify is not implemented)
- `User=mcias` / `Group=mcias` — dedicated service account
- `CapabilityBoundingSet=` — no capabilities required (port > 1024 assumed;
document this assumption)
- `ProtectSystem=strict`, `ProtectHome=true`, `PrivateTmp=true`
- `ReadWritePaths=/var/lib/mcias` for the SQLite file
- `EnvironmentFile=/etc/mcias/env` for `MCIAS_MASTER_PASSPHRASE`
- `Restart=on-failure`, `RestartSec=5`
- `LimitNOFILE=65536`
- `dist/mcias.env.example` — template environment file with comments explaining
each variable
- Tests: `systemd-analyze verify dist/mcias.service` exits 0 (run in CI if
systemd available; skip gracefully if not)
### Step 8.2: Default configuration file
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `dist/mcias.conf.example` — fully-commented TOML config covering all sections
from ARCHITECTURE.md §11, including the new `grpc_addr` field from Phase 7
- Comments explain every field, acceptable values, and security implications
- Defaults match the ARCHITECTURE.md §11 reference config
- A separate `dist/mcias-dev.conf.example` suitable for local development
(localhost address, relaxed timeouts, short token expiry for testing)
### Step 8.3: Installation script
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `dist/install.sh` — POSIX shell script (no bash-isms) that:
- Creates `mcias` system user and group (idempotent)
- Copies binaries to `/usr/local/bin/`
- Creates `/etc/mcias/` and `/var/lib/mcias/` with correct ownership/perms
- Installs `dist/mcias.service` to `/etc/systemd/system/`
- Prints post-install instructions (key generation, first-run steps)
- Does **not** start the service automatically
- Script is idempotent (safe to re-run after upgrades)
- Tests: shellcheck passes with zero warnings
### Step 8.4: Man pages
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `man/man1/mciassrv.1` — man page for the server binary; covers synopsis,
description, options, config file format, signals, exit codes, and files
- `man/man1/mciasctl.1` — man page for the admin CLI; covers all subcommands
with examples
- `man/man1/mciasdb.1` — man page for the DB maintenance tool; includes trust
model and safety warnings
- `man/man1/mciasgrpcctl.1` — man page for the gRPC CLI (Phase 7)
- Man pages written in `mdoc` format (BSD/macOS compatible) or `troff` (Linux)
- `make man` target in Makefile generates compressed `.gz` versions
- Tests: `man --warnings -l man/man1/*.1` exits 0 (or equivalent lint)
### Step 8.5: Makefile
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `Makefile` at repository root with targets:
- `build` — compile all binaries to `bin/`
- `test``go test -race ./...`
- `lint``golangci-lint run ./...`
- `generate``go generate ./...` (proto stubs from Phase 7)
- `man` — build compressed man pages
- `install` — run `dist/install.sh`
2026-03-16 15:21:26 -07:00
- `docker``docker build -t mcias:$(VERSION) -t mcias:latest .`
- `docker-clean` — remove local `mcias:$(VERSION)` and `mcias:latest` images;
prune dangling images with the mcias label
- `clean` — remove `bin/`, compressed man pages, and local Docker images
- `dist` — build release tarballs for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 (using
`GOOS`/`GOARCH` cross-compilation)
- `make build` works from a clean checkout after `go mod download`
- Tests: `make build` produces binaries; `make test` passes; `make lint` passes
### Step 8.6: Dockerfile
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `Dockerfile` at repository root using a multi-stage build:
- Build stage: `golang:1.26-bookworm` — compiles all four binaries with
`CGO_ENABLED=1` (required for SQLite via `modernc.org/sqlite`) and
`-trimpath -ldflags="-s -w"` to strip debug info
- Runtime stage: `debian:bookworm-slim` — installs only `ca-certificates`
and `libc6`; copies binaries from the build stage
- Final image runs as a non-root user (`uid=10001`, `gid=10001`; named `mcias`)
- `EXPOSE 8443` (REST) and `EXPOSE 9443` (gRPC); both are overridable via env
- `VOLUME /data` — operator mounts the SQLite database here
- `ENTRYPOINT ["mciassrv"]` with `CMD ["-config", "/etc/mcias/mcias.conf"]`
- Image must not contain the Go toolchain, source code, or build cache
- `dist/mcias.conf.docker.example` — config template suitable for container
deployment: `listen_addr = "0.0.0.0:8443"`, `grpc_addr = "0.0.0.0:9443"`,
`db_path = "/data/mcias.db"`, TLS cert/key paths under `/etc/mcias/`
- Tests:
- `docker build .` completes without error (run in CI if Docker available;
skip gracefully if not)
- `docker run --rm mcias:latest mciassrv --help` exits 0
### Step 8.7: Documentation
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `README.md` updated with: quick-start section referencing both the install
script and the Docker image, links to man pages, configuration walkthrough
- ARCHITECTURE.md §18 updated to include the Dockerfile in the artifact
inventory and document the container deployment model

## Phase 9 — Client Libraries **[COMPLETE]**
See ARCHITECTURE.md §19 for full design rationale, API surface, and per-language
implementation notes.
### Step 9.1: API surface definition and shared test fixtures
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `clients/README.md` — defines the canonical client API surface that all
language implementations must expose:
- `Client` type: configured with server URL, optional CA cert, optional token
- `Client.Login(username, password, totp_code) → (token, expires_at, error)`
- `Client.Logout() → error`
- `Client.RenewToken() → (token, expires_at, error)`
- `Client.ValidateToken(token) → (claims, error)`
- `Client.GetPublicKey() → (public_key_jwk, error)`
- `Client.Health() → error`
- Account management methods (admin only): `CreateAccount`, `ListAccounts`,
`GetAccount`, `UpdateAccount`, `DeleteAccount`
- Role management: `GetRoles`, `SetRoles`
- Token management: `IssueServiceToken`, `RevokeToken`
- PG credentials: `GetPGCreds`, `SetPGCreds`
- `clients/testdata/` — shared JSON fixtures for mock server responses (used
by all language test suites)
- A mock MCIAS server (`test/mock/`) in Go that can be started by integration
tests in any language via subprocess or a pre-built binary
### Step 9.2: Go client library
**Acceptance criteria:**
2026-03-27 02:03:46 -07:00
- `clients/go/` — Go module `git.wntrmute.dev/mc/mcias/clients/go`
- Package `mciasgoclient` exposes the canonical API surface from Step 9.1
- Uses `net/http` with `crypto/tls`; custom CA cert supported via `x509.CertPool`
- Token stored in-memory; `Client.Token()` accessor returns current token
- Thread-safe: concurrent calls from multiple goroutines are safe
- All JSON decoding uses `DisallowUnknownFields`
- Tests:
- Unit tests with `httptest.Server` for all methods
- Integration test against mock server (Step 9.1) covering full login →
validate → logout flow
- `go test -race ./...` passes with zero race conditions
- `go doc` comments on all exported types and methods
### Step 9.3: Rust client library
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `clients/rust/` — Rust crate `mcias-client`
- Uses `reqwest` (async, TLS-enabled) and `serde` / `serde_json`
- Exposes the canonical API surface from Step 9.1 as an async Rust API
(`tokio`-compatible)
- Custom CA cert supported via `reqwest::Certificate`
- Token stored in `Arc<Mutex<Option<String>>>` for async-safe sharing
- Errors: typed `MciasError` enum covering `Unauthenticated`, `Forbidden`,
`NotFound`, `InvalidInput`, `Transport`, `Server`
- Tests:
- Unit tests with `wiremock` or `mockito` for all methods
- Integration test against mock server covering full login → validate → logout
- `cargo test` passes; `cargo clippy -- -D warnings` passes
- `cargo doc` with `#[doc]` comments on all public items
### Step 9.4: Common Lisp client library
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `clients/lisp/` — ASDF system `mcias-client`
- Uses `dexador` for HTTP and `yason` (or `cl-json`) for JSON
- TLS handled by the underlying Dexador/Usocket stack; custom CA cert
documented (platform-specific)
- Exposes the canonical API surface from Step 9.1 as synchronous functions
with keyword arguments
- Errors signalled as conditions: `mcias-error`, `mcias-unauthenticated`,
`mcias-forbidden`, `mcias-not-found`
- Token stored as a slot on the `mcias-client` CLOS object
- Tests:
- Unit tests using `fiveam` with mock HTTP responses (via `dexador` mocking
or a local test server)
- Integration test against mock server covering full login → validate → logout
- Tests run with SBCL; `(asdf:test-system :mcias-client)` passes
- Docstrings on all exported symbols; `(describe 'mcias-client)` is informative
### Step 9.5: Python client library
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `clients/python/` — Python package `mcias_client`; supports Python 3.11+
- Uses `httpx` (sync and async variants) or `requests` (sync-only acceptable
for v1)
- Exposes the canonical API surface from Step 9.1 as a `MciasClient` class
- Custom CA cert supported via `ssl.create_default_context()` with `cafile`
- Token stored as an instance attribute; `client.token` property
- Errors: `MciasError` base class with subclasses `MciasAuthError`,
`MciasForbiddenError`, `MciasNotFoundError`
- Typed: full `py.typed` marker; all public symbols annotated with PEP 526
type annotations; `mypy --strict` passes
- Tests:
- Unit tests with `pytest` and `respx` (httpx mock) or `responses` (requests)
for all methods
- Integration test against mock server covering full login → validate → logout
- `pytest` passes; `ruff check` and `mypy --strict` pass
- Docstrings on all public classes and methods; `help(MciasClient)` is
informative
### Step 9.6: Documentation and commit
**Acceptance criteria:**
- Each client library has its own `README.md` with: installation instructions,
quickstart example, API reference summary, error handling guide
- ARCHITECTURE.md §19 written (client library design, per-language notes,
versioning strategy)
- `PROGRESS.md` updated to reflect Phase 9 complete

## Phase 10 — Web UI (HTMX) **[COMPLETE]**
Not in the original plan. Implemented alongside and after Phase 3.
See ARCHITECTURE.md §8 (Web Management UI) for design details.
### Step 10.1: `internal/ui` — HTMX web interface
**Acceptance criteria:**
- Go `html/template` pages embedded at compile time via `web/embed.go`
- CSRF protection: HMAC-signed double-submit cookie (`mcias_csrf`)
- Session: JWT stored as `HttpOnly; Secure; SameSite=Strict` cookie
- Security headers: `Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'`,
`X-Frame-Options: DENY`, `Referrer-Policy: strict-origin`
- Pages: login, dashboard, account list/detail, role editor, tag editor,
pgcreds, audit log viewer, policy rules, user profile, service-accounts
- HTMX partial-page updates for mutations (role updates, tag edits, policy
toggles, access grants)
- Empty-state handling on all list pages (zero records case tested)
### Step 10.2: Swagger UI at `/docs`
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `GET /docs` serves Swagger UI for `openapi.yaml`
- swagger-ui-bundle.js and swagger-ui.css bundled locally in `web/static/`
(CDN blocked by CSP `default-src 'self'`)
- `GET /docs/openapi.yaml` serves the OpenAPI spec
- `openapi.yaml` kept in sync with REST API surface
---
## Phase 11 — Authorization Policy Engine **[COMPLETE]**
Not in the original plan (CLI subcommands for policy were planned in Phase 4,
but the engine itself was not a discrete plan phase).
See ARCHITECTURE.md §20 for full design, evaluation algorithm, and built-in
default rules.
### Step 11.1: `internal/policy` — in-process ABAC engine
**Acceptance criteria:**
- Pure evaluation: `Evaluate(input PolicyInput, rules []Rule) (Effect, *Rule)`
- Deny-wins: any explicit deny overrides all allows
- Default-deny: no matching rule → deny
- Built-in default rules (IDs -1 … -7) compiled in; reproduce previous
binary admin/non-admin behavior exactly; cannot be disabled via API
- Match fields: roles, account types, subject UUID, actions, resource type,
owner-matches-subject, service names, required tags (all ANDed; zero value
= wildcard)
- Temporal constraints on DB-backed rules: `not_before`, `expires_at`
- `Engine` wrapper: caches rule set in memory; reloads on policy mutations
- Tests: all built-in rules; deny-wins over allow; default-deny fallback;
temporal filtering; concurrent access
### Step 11.2: Middleware and REST integration
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `RequirePolicy(engine, action, resourceType)` middleware replaces
`RequireRole("admin")` where policy-gated
- Every explicit deny produces a `policy_deny` audit event
- REST endpoints: `GET|POST /v1/policy/rules`, `GET|PATCH|DELETE /v1/policy/rules/{id}`
- DB schema: `policy_rules` and `account_tags` tables (migrations 000004,
000006)
- `PATCH /v1/policy/rules/{id}` supports updating `priority`, `enabled`,
`not_before`, `expires_at`
---
## Phase 12 — Vault Seal/Unseal Lifecycle **[COMPLETE]**
Not in the original plan.
See ARCHITECTURE.md §8 (Vault Endpoints) for the API surface.
### Step 12.1: `internal/vault` — master key lifecycle
**Acceptance criteria:**
- Thread-safe `Vault` struct with `sync.RWMutex`-protected state
- Methods: `IsSealed()`, `Unseal(passphrase)`, `Seal()`, `MasterKey()`,
`PrivKey()`, `PubKey()`
- `Seal()` zeroes all key material before nilling (memguard-style cleanup)
- `DeriveFromPassphrase()` and `DecryptSigningKey()` extracted to `derive.go`
for reuse by unseal handlers
- Tests: state transitions; key zeroing verified; concurrent read/write safety
### Step 12.2: REST and UI integration
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `POST /v1/vault/unseal` — rate-limited (3/s burst 5); derives key, unseals
- `GET /v1/vault/status` — always accessible; returns `{"sealed": bool}`
- `POST /v1/vault/seal` — admin only; zeroes key material
- `GET /v1/health` returns `{"status":"sealed"}` when sealed
- All other `/v1/*` endpoints return 503 `vault_sealed` when sealed
- UI redirects all paths to `/unseal` when sealed (except `/static/`)
- gRPC: `sealedInterceptor` first in chain; blocks all RPCs except Health
- Startup: server may start in sealed state if passphrase env var is absent
- Audit events: `vault_sealed`, `vault_unsealed`
---
## Phase 13 — Token Delegation and pgcred Access Grants **[COMPLETE]**
Not in the original plan.
See ARCHITECTURE.md §21 (Token Issuance Delegation) for design details.
### Step 13.1: Service account token delegation
**Acceptance criteria:**
- DB migration 000008: `service_account_delegates` table
- `POST /accounts/{id}/token/delegates` — admin grants delegation
- `DELETE /accounts/{id}/token/delegates/{grantee}` — admin revokes delegation
- `POST /accounts/{id}/token` — accepts admin or delegate (not admin-only)
- One-time token download: nonce stored in `sync.Map` with 5-minute TTL;
`GET /token/download/{nonce}` serves token as attachment, deletes nonce
- `/service-accounts` page for non-admin delegates
- Audit events: `token_delegate_granted`, `token_delegate_revoked`
### Step 13.2: pgcred fine-grained access grants
**Acceptance criteria:**
- DB migration 000005: `pgcred_access_grants` table
- `POST /accounts/{id}/pgcreds/access` — owner grants read access to grantee
- `DELETE /accounts/{id}/pgcreds/access/{grantee}` — owner revokes access
- `GET /v1/pgcreds` — lists all credentials accessible to caller (owned +
granted); includes credential ID for reference
- Grantees may view connection metadata; password is never decrypted for them
- Audit events: `pgcred_access_granted`, `pgcred_access_revoked`

## Phase 14 — FIDO2/WebAuthn and Passkey Authentication
**Goal:** Add FIDO2/WebAuthn support for passwordless passkey login and hardware
security key 2FA. Discoverable credentials enable passwordless login;
non-discoverable credentials serve as 2FA. Either WebAuthn or TOTP satisfies
the 2FA requirement.
### Step 14.1: Dependency, config, and model types
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `github.com/go-webauthn/webauthn` dependency added
- `WebAuthnConfig` struct in config with RPID, RPOrigin, DisplayName
- Validation: if any field set, RPID+RPOrigin required; RPOrigin must be HTTPS
- `WebAuthnCredential` model type with encrypted-at-rest fields
- Audit events: `webauthn_enrolled`, `webauthn_removed`, `webauthn_login_ok`, `webauthn_login_fail`
- Policy actions: `ActionEnrollWebAuthn`, `ActionRemoveWebAuthn`
### Step 14.2: Database migration and CRUD
**Acceptance criteria:**
- Migration 000009: `webauthn_credentials` table with encrypted credential fields
- Full CRUD: Create, Get (by ID, by account), Delete (ownership-checked and admin),
DeleteAll, UpdateSignCount, UpdateLastUsed, Has, Count
- DB tests for all operations including ownership checks and cascade behavior
### Step 14.3: WebAuthn adapter package
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `internal/webauthn/` package with adapter, user, and converter
- `NewWebAuthn(cfg)` factory wrapping library initialization
- `AccountUser` implementing `webauthn.User` interface
- `EncryptCredential`/`DecryptCredential`/`DecryptCredentials` round-trip encryption
- Tests for encrypt/decrypt, interface compliance, wrong-key rejection
### Step 14.4: REST endpoints
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `POST /v1/auth/webauthn/register/begin` — password re-auth, returns creation options
- `POST /v1/auth/webauthn/register/finish` — completes registration, encrypts credential
- `POST /v1/auth/webauthn/login/begin` — discoverable and username-scoped flows
- `POST /v1/auth/webauthn/login/finish` — validates assertion, issues JWT
- `GET /v1/accounts/{id}/webauthn` — admin, returns metadata only
- `DELETE /v1/accounts/{id}/webauthn/{credentialId}` — admin remove
- Challenge store: `sync.Map` with 120s TTL, background cleanup
### Step 14.5: Web UI
**Acceptance criteria:**
- Profile page: passkey enrollment form, credential list with delete
- Login page: "Sign in with passkey" button with discoverable flow
- Account detail page: passkey section with admin remove
- CSP-compliant `webauthn.js` (external script, base64url helpers)
- Empty state handling for zero credentials
### Step 14.6: gRPC handlers
**Acceptance criteria:**
- Proto messages and RPCs: `ListWebAuthnCredentials`, `RemoveWebAuthnCredential`
- gRPC handler implementation delegating to shared packages
- Regenerated protobuf stubs
### Step 14.7: mciasdb offline management
**Acceptance criteria:**
- `mciasdb webauthn list --id UUID`
- `mciasdb webauthn delete --id UUID --credential-id N`
- `mciasdb webauthn reset --id UUID` (deletes all)
- `mciasdb account reset-webauthn --id UUID` alias
- All operations write audit events
### Step 14.8: OpenAPI and documentation
**Acceptance criteria:**
- All 6 REST endpoints documented in openapi.yaml
- `WebAuthnCredentialInfo` schema, `webauthn_enabled`/`webauthn_count` on Account
- ARCHITECTURE.md §22 with design details
- PROJECT_PLAN.md Phase 14
- PROGRESS.md updated
