Add read-only certificate inventory loading with service ownership and rotation policy metadata. Report deterministic human-readable and JSON certificate status using the enhancement's zone thresholds.

Example Output:

$ sudo ./_output/bin/microshift certs status

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a certificate status command with table, JSON, and YAML output.
    • Certificate reports include names, services, issuing authorities, rotation policies, validity status, and renewal urgency.
    • Certificate status and renewal results use standardized formats for CLI output, with structured error details in JSON and YAML.
    • Certificate API types support JSON and YAML serialization.
    • Added user documentation for inspecting certificates.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Certificate entries appear in a consistent order.
    • Unsupported output formats produce a clear error.
    • Invalid arguments, insufficient privileges, and configuration failures return structured errors in JSON and YAML; configuration errors avoid exposing sensitive details.

Add read-only certificate inventory loading with service ownership and rotation policy metadata. Report deterministic human-readable and JSON certificate status using the enhancement's zone thresholds.

Walkthrough

The change adds certificate service and rotation metadata, disk-backed inventory loading, certificate API types, and a certs status command with table, JSON, and YAML output.

Changes

Certificate status

Layer / File(s) Summary
Certificate chain metadata
pkg/cmd/init.go, pkg/cmd/init_test.go, pkg/util/cryptomaterial/certchains/signerbuilder.go, pkg/util/cryptomaterial/certchains/signers.go
Signer builders and production certificate definitions add service and rotation metadata. Setup uses the configured data directory. Tests compare generated and disk-loaded certificate inventory.
Inventory loading and validity zones
pkg/util/cryptomaterial/certchains/chainsbuilder.go, pkg/util/cryptomaterial/certchains/inventory.go, pkg/util/cryptomaterial/certchains/inventory_test.go
Inventory entries include certificate identity, service, parent CA, and rotation policy. Disk loading parses certificates in deterministic order, and ZoneAt classifies certificate validity using policy thresholds.
Certificate API and status command
pkg/apis/certificates/v1alpha1/*, scripts/generate-crds.sh, cmd/microshift/main.go, pkg/cmd/certs.go, pkg/cmd/certs_output.go, pkg/cmd/certs_test.go, pkg/cmd/certs_output_test.go, cmd/microshift/main_test.go, test/suites/standard2/cert-status.robot, docs/user/*certificates*, docs/user/README.md, docs/contributor/architecture.md
The API types use metav1.TypeMeta, and Error.Details uses *runtime.RawExtension. The command loads inventory and writes status or error output. Tests and documentation cover serialization, output formats, error behavior, and command use.

In `@pkg/cmd/certs_output.go`:
- Line 80: In the output flag parsing flow, define `help`/`h` on the independent
pflag.FlagSet so `--help` or `-h` before `-o` does not stop parsing before the
output format is captured. Handle the result of `flags.Parse(args)` instead of
discarding it, returning the parsed output value on error; keep the change

/test e2e-aws-tests

Sanitize configuration-loading failures at the certificate-command boundary so raw YAML and proxy credentials are not exposed in plain, JSON, or YAML diagnostics.

Add Go and Robot regression tests for sensitive configuration disclosure. Validate service, role, parent CA, and rotation-policy metadata for the full production inventory using a temporary PKI directory, preserving production certificate paths.

Add certificate command documentation covering status output, privileges, warnings, and structured errors, and update the user index and contributor CLI inventory.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

  • Added a certificate status command with table, JSON, and YAML output.

  • Certificate reports include names, services, issuing authorities, rotation policies, validity status, and renewal urgency.

  • Certificate status and renewal results use standardized formats for CLI output, with structured error details in JSON and YAML.

  • Certificate API types support JSON and YAML serialization.

  • Added user documentation for inspecting certificates.

  • Bug Fixes

  • Certificate entries appear in a consistent order.

  • Unsupported output formats produce a clear error.

  • Invalid arguments, insufficient privileges, and configuration failures return structured errors in JSON and YAML; configuration errors avoid exposing sensitive details.

New changes are detected. LGTM label has been removed.

Replace color-based zones with Healthy, ExpiresSoon, ExpirationImminent, and Expired states. Rename the structured output fields to status and forceRestartOnExpirationImminent to match the enhancement.

Remove the redundant REASON column and explain warning or critical thresholds in table messages using each certificate lifetime and rotation policy. Share threshold definitions with status classification while preserving existing policy values.

Update user documentation and Go and Robot coverage for descriptive states, expiry boundaries, structured output, and threshold messages.

Status enum conflates "not yet valid" with "about to expire"

In StatusAt() (pkg/util/cryptomaterial/certchains/inventory.go):

if now.Before(certificate.NotBefore) {
    return CertificateStatusExpirationImminent, nil
}

A certificate whose validity window hasn't started yet (now < NotBefore) — e.g. right after rotation, or under any clock skew between the signer and the reader — gets the same CertificateStatusExpirationImminent value as a certificate that's genuinely about to expire.

humanCertificateStatus() in pkg/cmd/certs.go papers over this for the table view by independently re-checking now.Before(item.NotBefore.Time) and printing "Valid in N days" instead of the generic imminent-expiry message. But the Status field itself — the only thing JSON/YAML output exposes — stays "ExpirationImminent":

{ "status": "ExpirationImminent", "notBefore": "2026-10-05T00:00:00Z", ... }

Anything scripted against -ojson/-oyaml (alerting, health checks) that keys off status == "ExpirationImminent" will false-positive on a freshly-rotated, not-yet-valid cert — the opposite of what this status seems meant to flag.

Suggest a distinct value, e.g. CertificateStatusNotYetValid, returned from that branch instead of reusing ExpirationImminent.

`certs`'s own PersistentPreRunE silently shadows root's injected log-init hook

`RunCertsCommand` (`cmd/microshift/main.go`) calls `cli.RunNoErrOutput(root)`, passing the whole `microshift` root command. Root has no `PersistentPreRun` set in `newCommand()`, so component-base's `run()` injects `logs.InitLogs()`/`logRaceDetection()` onto root's `PersistentPreRun`.

But `certs` defines its own `PersistentPreRunE` (the privilege check in `certs.go`). Cobra only runs the nearest ancestor's persistent hook unless `EnableTraverseRunHooks` is set (confirmed it isn't, anywhere in this repo) — so for any `certs` subcommand, cobra finds `certs`'s own hook first and never reaches root's injected one.

No visible impact today — the certs subcommand doesn't call klog directly — but it's a silent trap: any future root-level `PersistentPreRunE` (telemetry, feature-gate checks, audit logging) will quietly not apply to the `certs` family, with nothing to catch it. Not a blocker, but might be worth having `certs`'s `PersistentPreRunE` explicitly call through to whatever root would have run, so the two compose intentionally rather than by accident.

Report certificates before NotBefore as NotYetValid in table, JSON, and YAML output. Update the API enum, documentation, and validity-boundary tests while preserving Expired precedence and existing startup behavior.

Move certificate privilege checks to subcommand PreRunE hooks so root initialization runs first. Use the existing klog API to suppress extra diagnostics in structured output and restore logging afterward, without adding dependencies.

Skip threshold calculations for healthy messages and align the test expectations. Add regression coverage for root hooks, failure propagation, structured output, and certificate validity in Go and Robot tests.
