fix(P05): final review fixes — PERSONAS.md body, config --addr precedence, migration 0007 dedup

Audit fix: PERSONAS.md body roster updated for v0.7 (was stale v0.6
content). Review P1-004: daemon --addr now uses cmd.Flags().Changed()
to detect explicit flag, so config listen_addr only applies when --addr
was not explicitly passed (correct flag>env>file>default precedence).
Review P1-001: migration 0007 now dedups existing duplicate serial_hex
rows before creating the UNIQUE index (backward-compat with v0.6 DBs
that accumulated duplicates before the constraint existed).

+# Ideation: Orca v0.7 — Hardening & Completion
+
+Full autonomy mode: all ideas with confidence >= 0.60 are auto-accepted.
+The RESEARCH stage (commit `7c4b603`) surfaced 5 codebase gaps which are
+assessed below alongside 8 additional ideas generated by the 3-tier
+ideation process.
+
+Total generated: 13 ideas (5 Tier 1 + 5 Tier 2 + 3 Tier 3) plus 5
+inherited research findings = 18 considered. 13 accepted (all >= 0.60),
+0 skipped, 0 deferred. 4 of the accepted ideas are implementation
+refinements with no new REQ; 4 map to the v0.7 REQs (REQ-053..056)
+already declared in SPECIFY; the research findings confirmed the v0.7
+scope.
+
+## Tier 1: Mechanical Analysis (git + filesystem)
+
+### 1.1 Git-Native Pattern Mining
+
+- `git log --all --grep="lessons:"` — 1 lesson found (orch-engine P00
+  config.json schema reference). No repeated lessons in orca's own
+  history → no systemic process gap.
+- `git log --all --grep="escalation:"` — 0 escalations. The pipeline
+  has run clean across v0.1–v0.6.
+- `git log --all --grep="compound:"` — 0 compound learnings.
+- Low-confidence decisions (confidence < 0.7): none in `---ci---`
+  blocks. The lowest-confidence v0.7 decision is D-040 (pprof) at 0.85,
+  above threshold.
+
+### 1.2 Coverage Gap Analysis
+
+| ID | Idea | Source | Confidence | Status | Maps to |
+|----|------|--------|------------|--------|---------|
+| I-401 | `orca cert` command tree is unreachable — `NewCommand` in `internal/cli/cert.go` is never AddCommand'd to `rootCmd` | research §1.1 + `grep -rn "rootCmd.AddCommand"` (cert absent) | 0.98 | Accepted | REQ-053 |
+| I-402 | `internal/store/cert_repo.go` has no test file — every other repo has one | research §1.2 + `ls internal/store/*_test.go` | 0.95 | Accepted | REQ-053 (P01 companion) |
+| I-403 | `internal/engine` coverage 8.3% — only `scheduler_test.go` exists; executor, dispatcher, peer untested | research §1.3 + `go test -cover` | 0.90 | Accepted | REQ-055 |
+| I-404 | `internal/transport` coverage 26.3% — only `idempotency_test.go`; mtls, dispatch, handshake_log untested | research §1.3 | 0.90 | Accepted | REQ-055 |
+| I-405 | `internal/audit` has no test files — Emit, EmitWithErr, LogHandshake* untested | research §1.3 + `ls internal/audit/*_test.go` | 0.88 | Accepted | REQ-055 |
+
+### 1.3 Verification Layer Inversion (missing items)
+
+- **Structural**: `internal/cli/cert.go` defines a command that is
+  never wired in — a "documented but unreachable" component (I-401).
+- **Behavioral**: 4 packages below 50% coverage (I-403/404/405 + proxmox).
+- **Security**: no STRIDE gap — v0.7 adds no new trust boundary (pprof
+  is operator-only, addr-gated; cert registration exposes existing
+  security code).
+- **Quality**: no unresolved P1/P2 findings from v0.6 final review.
+
+## Tier 2: Backend-Enriched Analysis
+
+| ID | Idea | Source | Confidence | Status | Maps to |
+|----|------|--------|------------|--------|---------|
+| I-406 | HCL config file parser — `internal/config` package reusing `hclsimple.Decode` pattern from jobspec; D-009 promised it, never built | research §1.4 + D-009 | 0.92 | Accepted | REQ-054 |
+| I-407 | `--pprof <addr>` opt-in on `orca daemon` — I-308 deferred since v0.2; stdlib only, separate mux | research §1.5 + I-308 | 0.82 | Accepted | REQ-056 |
+| I-408 | Config precedence flag>env>file>default — table-driven test covering all 4 layers | backend-enriched (D-039) | 0.90 | Accepted | (refinement of REQ-054; no new REQ) |
+| I-409 | pprof on separate `*http.Server` + `*http.ServeMux`, never on mTLS daemon listener | backend-enriched (AD-024) | 0.90 | Accepted | (refinement of REQ-056; no new REQ) |
+| I-410 | CI coverage gate: `go test -cover ./internal/engine ./internal/transport ./internal/proxmox ./internal/audit` assert each ≥ 50% | backend-enriched (AD-025) | 0.85 | Accepted | (refinement of REQ-055; no new REQ) |
+
+## Tier 3: Cross-Project Pattern Transfer
+
+| ID | Idea | Source | Confidence | Status | Maps to |
+|----|------|--------|------------|--------|---------|
+| I-411 | `orca version --json` already outputs structured `{version, commit, go_version, build_time}` (I-307 accepted v0.2) — verify still works, no new REQ | cross-project (carry-forward from v0.2 I-307) | 0.80 | Accepted (verification only) | (no new REQ; confirm in P03) |
+| I-412 | `orca cert` registration via `init()` co-located in `cert.go` — matches the self-registering pattern in `daemon.go`/`audit.go` | cross-project (orca's own convention) | 0.88 | Accepted | (refinement of REQ-053; no new REQ) |
+| I-413 | No new direct dependencies in v0.7 — `net/http/pprof` (stdlib), `hashicorp/hcl/v2` (already direct) | cross-project (minimal-deps ethos) | 0.95 | Accepted | (constraint; no new REQ) |
+
+## Research-stage findings (assessed)
+
+| Finding | Verdict | Maps to |
+|---------|---------|---------|
+| cert command unreachable (§1.1) | **Accepted** (I-401) | REQ-053 (P01) |
+| cert_repo has no test (§1.2) | **Accepted** (I-402) | REQ-053 (P01) |
+| low coverage: engine/transport/proxmox/audit (§1.3) | **Accepted** (I-403/404/405) | REQ-055 (P03) |
+| no HCL config parser (§1.4) | **Accepted** (I-406) | REQ-054 (P02) |
+| pprof deferred since v0.2 (§1.5) | **Accepted** (I-407) | REQ-056 (P04) |
+
+All 5 findings map to the v0.7 REQs declared in SPECIFY. The IDEATE
+stage confirms the scope and adds 8 implementation refinements
+(I-408..I-413) that inform the PLAN stage.
+
+## Dropped ideas (confidence < 0.60)
+
+None. The lowest-confidence accepted idea is I-407 (pprof) at 0.82.
+
+## Accepted Ideas (auto-accepted, full autonomy)
+
+13 ideas accepted (5 Tier 1 + 5 Tier 2 + 3 Tier 3). 4 map to net-new
+REQs (REQ-053..056, already declared in SPECIFY); 9 are implementation
+refinements recorded for the PLAN stage's benefit.
+
+## Resulting REQ additions
+
+| New REQ | Title | Phase | Source ideas |
+|---------|-------|-------|--------------|
+| REQ-053 | `orca cert` command tree registered + cert_repo tests | P01 | I-401, I-402, I-412 |
+| REQ-054 | HCL config file parsing (`internal/config`) | P02 | I-406, I-408 |
+| REQ-055 | Test coverage uplift — engine/transport/proxmox/audit ≥ 50% | P03 | I-403, I-404, I-405, I-410 |
+| REQ-056 | `--pprof <addr>` opt-in on `orca daemon` | P04 | I-407, I-409 |
+
+**Total net-new REQs**: 4 (REQ-053..056). All declared in SPECIFY;
+IDEATE confirms mapping and adds implementation refinements.
+
+## Deferred (recorded but not v0.7)
+
+None. I-308 (pprof) is no longer deferred — it is REQ-056 in P04.
+
+## Followup notes for PLAN stage
+
+- **P01** is the highest-impact, lowest-effort phase: a 1-line
+  `rootCmd.AddCommand` + a regression test + cert_repo_test.go. The
+  smoke test should run `cert ca-init` + `cert gen` + `cert show` +
+  `cert fingerprint` against a temp `ORCA_HOME` to catch any latent
+  bugs in the never-exercised cert subcommands.
+- **P02** config package must be a pure function (`Load(paths) ->
+  *Config`) with no package-level state. The `--config` flag on root
+  command loads the file and passes the merged `*Config` down via
+  cobra's `cmd.SetContext` or a struct field on the command.
+- **P03** coverage: target the interface seams (SSH dialer, peer
+  client) for mocks; use `httptest.NewTLSServer` for transport. Any
+  races uncovered by `-race` get fixed in P03, not deferred.
+- **P04** pprof: keep the daemon's mTLS listener untouched; start a
+  second `http.Server` only when `--pprof` is non-empty. Log a WARN
+  that the endpoint is unauthenticated.

Added `idempotent-bootstrap` constraint (D-036 — re-run must be skip-and-refresh) and `golang.org/x/crypto/ssh` to frameworks.
+- **Reason**: Owns `internal/config` package (P02 — HCL config file parsing, Load + MergeOverrides with flag>env>file>default precedence per D-039). No package-level state (AD-023). Config is a pure function passed explicitly to consumers.

The config package handles paths only (no secrets). Existing security constraints (file modes, redaction) are exercised by P01 smoke tests but not extended.
 
 ### devops-engineer
-- **Active**: false (v0.6)
-- **Reason**: Deactivated — v0.6 has no install.sh, Dockerfile, .coreci.yml, or release-pipeline surface. The Proxmox SSH bootstrap is backend + security work, not devops. Was active in v0.5 (distribution milestone).

 ## Territory Enforcement
 
 - **Mode**: `warn` (per `config.json`)
 - **Behavior**: Out-of-territory file changes log a warning but do not block.
-- **Key overlaps in v0.6** (lead-developer adjudicates):
-  - `internal/proxmox/bootstrap.go` — security-engineer (SSH auth, sudoers, PVE role) + backend-engineer (session orchestration, error handling). Boundary: security package exposes `BootstrapProxmox(ctx, opts) error`; the function lives in `internal/proxmox` but imports `internal/security` for SSH key handling.
-  - `internal/doctor/doctor.go` `Proxmox()` — reuses `internal/proxmox` SSH client (security) but check scaffolding clones `doctor.Network()` pattern. Backend-engineer adjudicates (network-engineer deactivated).
-  - `internal/store/node_repo.go` — data-engineer territory, but the `UpdateLastSeenAndOS` caller is `internal/cli/init.go` (backend). Standard repo-consumer boundary.
+- **Key overlaps in v0.7** (lead-developer adjudicates):
+  - `internal/cli/root.go` — backend-engineer (config flag + context wiring) + lead-developer (existing root command). Boundary: backend owns `--config` flag + `configFromCtx`; lead owns all other root command behavior.
+  - `internal/cli/daemon.go` — lead-developer (pprof flag + config listen_addr wiring) + backend-engineer (config consumption). Boundary: lead owns the daemon command; backend's config package is consumed, not modified.
+  - `internal/store/migrations/` — data-engineer owns all migrations. No overlap in v0.7.

+# Phase 1 Verification — Orca v0.6 P01
+
+**Phase**: P01 — `orca init` Full Bootstrap + Schema 0006
+**REQ Coverage**: REQ-047, REQ-048, REQ-049
+**Verification date**: 2026-08-03
+**Result**: ✅ PASS (all 4 layers)
+
+## Structural Verification
+
+- ✅ `go build ./...` — PASS (no compile errors)
+- ✅ `go vet ./...` — PASS (no vet warnings)
+- ✅ `gofmt -l .` — PASS (all changed Go files formatted)
+- ✅ `make lint` — PASS (golangci-lint clean)
+- ✅ Migration 0006 follows existing naming convention (`0006_*.sql`)
+- ✅ `model.Node` struct follows existing field/tag conventions
+- ✅ `NodeRepo` methods follow existing error-wrapping + `scanner` pattern
+
+## Behavioral Verification
+
+### REQ-047: `orca init` auto-provisions CA + server cert + DB + localhost node
+- ✅ `TestInit_FullBootstrap`: init creates namespace dir, CA (ca.crt 0644 + ca.key 0600), server cert, DB (migrations 0001..0006), localhost node
+- ✅ `TestInit_IdempotentReRun`: re-running init does NOT regenerate CA/server cert (D-036), does NOT duplicate localhost node, refreshes last_seen, preserves id + joined_at
+- ✅ E2E smoke test: `orca init` → CA provisioned (fp shown), server cert provisioned (fp shown), DB initialized, localhost node registered
+
+### REQ-048: `orca init` registers localhost node with auto-detected OS
+- ✅ `TestInit_FullBootstrap`: localhost node has `kind=localhost`, non-empty `os`, `address=localhost:8443`
+- ✅ `TestParseOSReleaseID_*` (10 tests): ubuntu, debian, alpine, pve, quoted/unquoted values, missing ID, empty content, comments, unknown ID returned verbatim
+- ✅ `TestDetectOS_*` (3 tests): reads /etc/os-release, falls back to /usr/lib/os-release, falls back to "linux"
+- ✅ E2E smoke test: `OS detected: ubuntu` (this host is Ubuntu 24.04)
+
+### REQ-049: Node schema extension (kind + os columns, migration 0006)
+- ✅ `TestMigrationVersion`: version = "0006_node_kind_os.sql"
+- ✅ `TestNodeRepo_KindOS_RoundTrip`: insert with kind/os → get returns them correctly
+- ✅ `TestNodeRepo_NullKindOS_EmptyString`: NULL columns → `""` in Go struct (no nil-deref)
+- ✅ `TestNodeRepo_GetByName`: found by name, ErrNotFound for missing
+- ✅ `TestNodeRepo_UpdateLastSeenAndOS`: refreshes last_seen + os, preserves id + joined_at (D-036)
+- ✅ Existing node tests still pass (backward compatible)
+- ✅ `TestDBCheck_IntegrityOK`: doctor db check reports migration 0006
+
+## Security Verification
+
+- ✅ CA key file mode 0600 enforced (`TestInit_FullBootstrap` checks mode)
+- ✅ CA cert + server cert mode 0644 enforced (via `security.WriteCert`/`writeAtomic`)
+- ✅ No secrets in logs (init output shows fingerprint prefixes, not full keys)
+- ✅ `--json` output excludes private key material (only fingerprints)
+- ✅ No new external dependencies (P1 is pure Go stdlib + existing deps)
+
+## Quality Verification
+
+- ✅ `go test -race -count=1 ./internal/store/... ./internal/cli/... ./internal/model/... ./internal/doctor/...` — all PASS
+- ✅ Test coverage: init idempotency, osdetect parsing (10 cases), kind/os round-trip, NULL handling, GetByName, UpdateLastSeenAndOS, namespace dir creation, JSON output
+- ✅ Error wrapping with `fmt.Errorf("...: %w", err)` (REQ-018 convention)
+- ✅ `context.Context` propagation in all new I/O (REQ-017)
+- ✅ No goroutine leaks (init is synchronous; no new goroutines)
+- ✅ D-036 idempotency verified: 2× init run, no duplicate node, no cert regen
+

+# Phase 1 Verification Report — v0.7: Register `orca cert` Command Tree
+
+**Phase**: 1  
+**Branch**: `phase/01-cert-register`  
+**REQ Coverage**: REQ-053  
+**Milestone**: v0.7 (Hardening & Completion)
+
+## Structural Verification
+
+### Files Modified
+- `internal/cli/cert.go` — added `init()` registering `NewCommand` on `rootCmd` (AD-022)
+- `internal/cli/init_test.go` — updated expected migration version 0006 → 0007
+- `internal/doctor/doctor_test.go` — relaxed DB check assertion to check `"migrations up to"` prefix (migration-version-agnostic)
+- `internal/store/migrate_test.go` — updated expected migration version 0006 → 0007
+
+### Files Created
+- `internal/cli/cert_test.go` — regression test for cert command registration + subcommand tree
+- `internal/cli/cert_smoke_test.go` — end-to-end smoke test (ca-init, gen, show, fingerprint, renew, file modes)
+- `internal/store/cert_repo_test.go` — 11 tests covering Insert/Get/List/ListByNode/LatestForKind/PruneOlderThan/Delete + error paths
+- `internal/store/migrations/0007_certs_serial_unique.sql` — UNIQUE index on `certs.serial_hex` (I-107; migration-driven, not backfilled into 0004)
+
+## Behavioral Verification
+
+### Test Results
+```
+go test ./...               → all PASS (exit 0)
+go test -race ./...         → all PASS (exit 0)
+go vet ./...                → clean
+make build                  → clean (v0.6.0)
+```
+
+### Coverage (store package)
+- Store total: 60.5% (up from 46.9%)
+- `cert_repo.go`: Insert 91.7%, Get 100%, LatestForKind 100%, PruneOlderThan 85.7%, Delete 85.7%, List/ListByNode 81.8%
+
+### CLI Smoke Test (manual)
+```
+./bin/orca cert                    → prints help (was: "unknown command")
+./bin/orca cert ca-init --cn X     → ✓ CA initialized, 0644/0600 modes
+./bin/orca cert fingerprint --which ca → 64-char hex SHA-256
+```
+
+## Security Verification
+
+- `orca cert show` redacts private key material (REQ-035) — verified in smoke test
+- Cert file modes enforced: 0600 keys, 0644 certs (REQ-033) — verified in smoke test
+- No secrets in logs — `cert.ca_init`/`cert.issued`/`cert.renewed` log events contain only fingerprints, never key bytes
+- Migration 0007 is additive (UNIQUE index), backward-compatible — no data loss
+
+## Quality Verification
+
+- No new dependencies added (`go.mod` unchanged)
+- No comments added (per project convention)
+- Test style matches existing `node_repo_test.go` / `root_test.go` patterns
+- All `---ci---` blocks present in commits
+
+## Must-Haves Checklist
+
+- [x] `internal/cli/cert.go` — `init()` with `rootCmd.AddCommand(NewCommand(slog.Default()))`
+- [x] `internal/cli/cert_test.go` — regression test for registration + subcommands
+- [x] `internal/cli/cert_smoke_test.go` — e2e: ca-init, gen, show (redaction), fingerprint, renew, file modes
+- [x] `internal/store/cert_repo_test.go` — 11 tests covering full CRUD + rotation history + duplicate serial
+- [x] `internal/store/migrations/0007_certs_serial_unique.sql` — UNIQUE index (I-107)
+
+## Verdict
+
+**PASS** — all 4 verification layers (structural, behavioral, security, quality) pass. REQ-053 is fully covered. The `orca cert` command tree is now reachable from the CLI, cert_repo has comprehensive tests, and the serial_hex UNIQUE constraint is enforced via migration.

+# Phase 2 Verification — Orca v0.6 P02
+
+**Phase**: P02 — Proxmox SSH Join
+**REQ Coverage**: REQ-050, REQ-051
+**Verification date**: 2026-08-03
+**Result**: ✅ PASS (all 4 layers; integration test against real PVE deferred — unit tests cover all logic)
+
+## Structural Verification
+
+- ✅ `go build ./...` — PASS
+- ✅ `go vet ./...` — PASS
+- ✅ `gofmt -l .` — PASS (all Go files formatted)
+- ✅ `make lint` — PASS
+- ✅ `golang.org/x/crypto v0.54.0` added as direct dep (D-030); transitive: x/sys v0.47.0, x/term v0.45.0
+- ✅ `internal/proxmox` new package follows existing package layout conventions
+- ✅ `internal/security/sshkey.go` follows the CAInit pattern (idempotent fast-path, writeAtomic, mode enforcement)
+
+## Behavioral Verification
+
+### REQ-050: Proxmox SSH bootstrap via golang.org/x/crypto/ssh
+- ✅ `TestGenerateOrLoadSSHKey_Generates`: Ed25519 keygen, 0600/0644 modes, ssh-ed25519 pub format, ssh.ParsePrivateKey round-trip
+- ✅ `TestGenerateOrLoadSSHKey_IdempotentLoad`: second call loads existing (D-036)
+- ✅ `TestGenerateOrLoadSSHKey_CreatesDir`: nested dir creation
+- ✅ `TestBootstrapProxmox_Validation`: missing host → error, missing password → error
+- ✅ `TestDefaultOptions`: DefaultProxmoxUser=orca, DefaultProxmoxRole=OrcaOperator, DefaultSSHPort=22
+- ✅ CLI `--type proxmox --host ... --password ...` flag wiring verified via `orca node join --help`
+- ✅ Password from `--password` flag OR `$ORCA_PROXMOX_PASSWORD` env var (D-031)
+- ✅ TOFU host-key via `knownhosts.New` (D-035, avoids deprecated InsecureIgnoreHostKey)
+- ✅ File upload via session heredoc (no SFTP dep — D-030)
+
+### REQ-051: OrcaOperator role + orca@pam user + sudoers
+- ✅ `TestSudoersContent`: NOEXEC on pct/qm, NOPASSWD on apt-get/dpkg (no NOEXEC), pvesh excluded from command lines (AD-020)
+- ✅ `TestSudoersContent_CustomUser`: custom user name works
+- ✅ `TestOrcaOperatorPrivileges`: exactly 3 privileges (VM.Audit, Datastore.AllocateSpace, SDN.Use) space-separated (D-033)
+- ✅ `orca@pam` realm (AD-019 — not @pve)
+- ✅ `pveum` commands use `--privs` (space-separated), probe-then-add idempotency pattern
+- ✅ `visudo -cf` validation step aborts bootstrap on syntax error
+- ✅ Node registered with kind=proxmox, os=pve
+
+## Security Verification
+
+- ✅ SSH private key mode 0600 enforced (TestGenerateOrLoadSSHKey_Generates)
+- ✅ SSH public key mode 0644 enforced
+- ✅ Password never persisted (D-031) — used only for SSH auth, zeroed after use
+- ✅ Password from env var preferred over flag (reduces ps/proc exposure)
+- ✅ pvesh excluded from sudoers (AD-020 — API execute bypasses NOEXEC)
+- ✅ NOEXEC on pct/qm (blocks shell escapes via dynamically-linked perl)
+- ✅ TOFU host-key pinning (D-035) — capture on first connect, verify on subsequent, fail closed on mismatch
+- ✅ No secrets in logs (audit log entries contain host, user, role — never password)
+- ✅ sudoers file mode 0440 enforced (sudo requirement)
+
+## Quality Verification
+
+- ✅ `go test -race -count=1 ./internal/proxmox/... ./internal/security/... ./internal/cli/...` — all PASS
+- ✅ Test coverage: sshkey (4 tests), proxmox (5 tests), sudoers content (2 tests), privileges (1 test), validation (1 test), defaults (1 test)
+- ✅ Error wrapping with `fmt.Errorf("...: %w", err)` (REQ-018)
+- ✅ `context.Context` propagation (REQ-017)
+- ✅ Idempotency: all bootstrap steps probe-before-add (D-036)
+- ✅ New direct dep: 1 (golang.org/x/crypto) — matches D-030 minimal-deps rationale
+
+## Integration Test Note
+
+A live integration test against a real Proxmox VE 8/9 host is out of
+scope for automated CI (requires a PVE host + credentials). The SSH
+bootstrap logic is tested via:
+- Unit tests for command builders (sudoers content, privilege set)
+- Unit tests for validation (missing host/password)
+- Unit tests for SSH key generation (Ed25519, modes, idempotency)
+- Manual verification via `orca node join --help` (flag surface)
+
+A `// +build integration` test against a real PVE host can be added
+in a future phase if a PVE test environment becomes available.
+
+## Must-Have Checklist
+
+- [x] `go.mod` / `go.sum` — golang.org/x/crypto v0.54.0
+- [x] `internal/certpaths/certpaths.go` — SSHKeyPath, SSHPubPath, KnownHostsPath
+- [x] `internal/security/sshkey.go` — GenerateOrLoadSSHKey (Ed25519)
+- [x] `internal/proxmox/bootstrap.go` — BootstrapProxmox full SSH dance
+- [x] `internal/cli/node.go` — --type/--host/--password flag wiring + joinProxmox
+- [x] `internal/security/sshkey_test.go` — 4 tests
+- [x] `internal/proxmox/bootstrap_test.go` — 5 tests

+# Phase 2 Verification Report — v0.7: HCL Config File Parsing
+
+**Phase**: 2  
+**Branch**: `phase/02-config-parser`  
+**REQ Coverage**: REQ-054  
+**Milestone**: v0.7 (Hardening & Completion)
+
+## Structural Verification
+
+### Files Created
+- `internal/config/config.go` — `Config` struct (HCL tags), `CapacityConfig`, `Flags`, `Environ`, `Load(paths...)`, `(*Config).MergeOverrides(flags, env)`
+- `internal/config/config_test.go` — 11 tests (Load valid/missing/malformed/first-existing, MergeOverrides precedence all 4 layers, NodeCapacity)
+- `internal/config/testdata/config.hcl` — example fixture
+
+### Files Modified
+- `internal/cli/root.go` — added `--config` persistent flag, `configCtxKey`, `configFromCtx` helper; `PersistentPreRunE` loads config if `--config` set (AD-023)
+- `internal/cli/daemon.go` — daemon uses `cfg.ListenAddr` from config when flag is at default (`:8080`) (D-039 precedence: flag > config)
+- `internal/cli/root_test.go` — added `TestConfigFlagRegistered` + `TestConfigFlagLoadsFile`
+
+## Behavioral Verification
+
+### Test Results
+```
+go test ./...               → all PASS (exit 0)
+go test -race ./internal/config/... ./internal/cli/... → all PASS
+go vet ./...                → clean
+make build                  → clean (v0.6.1)
+```
+
+### API Surface
+```go
+func Load(paths ...string) (*Config, error)
+func (c *Config) MergeOverrides(flags Flags, env Environ) *Config
+```
+- `Load` returns zero `&Config{}` if no file exists (no error)
+- `MergeOverrides` precedence: flag > env > file > default (D-039)
+- No package-level state (AD-023)
+
+### CLI Verification
+```
+./bin/orca --help → shows --config string flag
+```
+
+## Security Verification
+
+- Config file is read-only (no writes); parsed via `hclsimple.Decode` (no eval, no external commands)
+- No secrets in config (paths only; no tokens/keys in config.hcl)
+- Config file permissions not enforced (operator's responsibility; config contains no secrets)
+
+## Quality Verification
+
+- No new dependencies (`hashicorp/hcl/v2` already in go.mod for jobspec)
+- No comments added (per project convention)
+- Test style matches existing `jobspec/spec_test.go` + `cli/root_test.go`
+- `go.mod` unchanged
+
+## Must-Haves Checklist
+
+- [x] `internal/config/config.go` — Config struct + Load + MergeOverrides
+- [x] `internal/config/config_test.go` — 11 tests (all 4 precedence layers)
+- [x] `internal/config/testdata/config.hcl` — example fixture
+- [x] `internal/cli/root.go` — `--config` persistent flag + context wiring
+- [x] `internal/cli/daemon.go` — uses `cfg.ListenAddr` (flag still wins)
+- [x] `internal/cli/root_test.go` — config flag registration + load test
+
+## Verdict
+
+**PASS** — all 4 verification layers pass. REQ-054 is fully covered. The `internal/config` package provides HCL config file parsing with flag > env > file > default precedence, wired into the root command via `--config` and consumed by the daemon.

+# Phase 3 Verification — Orca v0.6 P03
+
+**Phase**: P03 — Doctor Extensions + Audit Logging
+**REQ Coverage**: REQ-052
+**Verification date**: 2026-08-03
+**Result**: ✅ PASS (all 4 layers)
+
+## Structural Verification
+
+- ✅ `go build ./...` — PASS
+- ✅ `go vet ./...` — PASS
+- ✅ `gofmt -l .` — PASS
+- ✅ `make lint` — PASS
+- ✅ `internal/osdetect` new shared package (extracted from cli to avoid import cycle)
+- ✅ `doctor.OS()` and `doctor.Proxmox()` follow existing check pattern (Check struct, Result, Run func)
+- ✅ `doctor.All()` extended with OS + Proxmox in logical order
+
+## Behavioral Verification
+
+### REQ-052: doctor os + doctor proxmox + audit logging
+- ✅ `TestOSCheck_MissingLocalhostNode`: no localhost node → FAIL with clear message
+- ✅ `TestOSCheck_Match`: stored os matches detected → PASS
+- ✅ `TestOSCheck_Drift`: stored os differs from detected → WARN ("OS drift: init=debian, now=ubuntu")

+- ✅ E2E: `orca doctor os --json` → valid JSON
+- ✅ E2E: `orca doctor` (full) → 6 PASS / 1 WARN / 1 FAIL (network=daemon not running, expected)
+- ✅ osdetect package: 11 tests (ubuntu/debian/alpine/pve parsing, quoted/unquoted, missing ID, comments, fallback)
+- ✅ Audit logging: proxmox.BootstrapProxmox emits `proxmox.bootstrap_ok` (P02); doctor checks are read-only
+
+## Security Verification
+
+- ✅ Doctor checks are strictly read-only (no state changes)
+- ✅ SSH probe uses orca SSH key (not password) — no password in doctor flow
+- ✅ TOFU host-key verification via knownhosts.New (D-035)
+- ✅ 3s timeout per proxmox probe (D-038 bounded-probe-timeout pattern)
+- ✅ No secrets in doctor output (fingerprints only, never private keys)
+
+## Quality Verification
+
+- ✅ `go test -race -count=1 ./...` — all PASS (13 packages)
+- ✅ Test coverage: osdetect (11 tests), doctor OS (3 tests), doctor Proxmox (2 tests)
+- ✅ Error wrapping with `fmt.Errorf("...: %w", err)` (REQ-018)
+- ✅ `context.Context` propagation (REQ-017)
+- ✅ No goroutine leaks (netDialer cleans up on ctx cancellation)
+- ✅ D-036: doctor os handles pre-0006 rows (empty os field → WARN)

+**Branch**: `phase/03-coverage-uplift`  
+**REQ Coverage**: REQ-055  
+**Milestone**: v0.7 (Hardening & Completion)
+
+## Structural Verification
+
+### Files Created
+- `internal/engine/peer_test.go` — 8 tests (PeerRegistry Add/Get/Remove/All/Len/UpdateLastSeen + validation)
+- `internal/engine/executor_test.go` — 7 tests (Submit success/missing-command/malformed/failing, Status not-found, Run success, Run context-cancel)
+- `internal/engine/dispatcher_test.go` — 10 tests (empty spec, idempotency hit, local-capacity, explicit-target, no-peers, LocalSubmit/LocalStatus, nil guards, parseInlineSpec)

+
+### Files Modified
+- `internal/transport/dispatch.go` — **bug fix**: `bytesReadCloser.Read` returned `fmt.Errorf("EOF")` instead of `io.EOF`, breaking HTTP request body transmission. This was a latent bug that prevented any client-side dispatch from working end-to-end.
+- `internal/proxmox/bootstrap_test.go` — extended with 10 new tests (mockSSHDialer, SSH auth failure, dial-addr/port/user propagation, SSH key generation, known_hosts, nil/custom logger, cancelled context, deployPubKey edge cases)

+
+All 4 packages exceed the 50% floor (AD-025).
+
+### Total new tests: 94 (37 engine+audit + 57 transport+proxmox)
+
+## Security Verification
+
+- The `dispatch.go` bug fix (`io.EOF` vs `fmt.Errorf("EOF")`) is a correctness fix — HTTP request bodies now terminate correctly. No security implications (the bug caused requests to fail, not to leak data).
+- No new dependencies added.
+- Test fixtures use temp dirs (`t.TempDir()`) — no persistent state.
+- No secrets in test code (SSH keys are test-generated Ed25519 pairs).
+
+## Quality Verification
+
+- No comments added (per project convention).
+- Test style matches existing patterns (`scheduler_test.go`, `node_repo_test.go`, `certgen_test.go`).
+- `go.mod` unchanged.
+- Bug fix in `dispatch.go` is minimal (1 line: `return fmt.Errorf("EOF")` → `return io.EOF` + `io` import).

+- [x] Bug fix: `dispatch.go` bytesReadCloser EOF (latent bug, root-caused during P03)
+- [x] All 4 target packages ≥ 50% coverage
+
+## Verdict
+
+**PASS** — all 4 verification layers pass. REQ-055 is fully covered. All 4 target packages exceed the 50% coverage floor (engine 65.1%, transport 84.6%, proxmox 82.7%, audit 100%). A latent bug in `dispatch.go` (non-`io.EOF` return) was found and fixed during coverage uplift.

+# Phase Plans: Orca v0.7 — Hardening & Completion
+
+All 4 execution phases + final review with vertical-slice structure, wave
+ordering, and REQ-ID mapping. v0.7 scope: **Hardening & Completion** —
+register the unreachable `orca cert` command, add HCL config file parsing,
+uplift test coverage in core packages, and add the long-deferred pprof
+endpoint.
+
+Branching: `phase/01-cert-register`..`phase/05-final-review-ship` on the
+`milestone/v0.7-hardening-completion` branch (numbering restarts per
+milestone per branch-strategy.md).
+
+Milestone type: **NFR** (all phases are fix/test/chore; no `feat` phases).
+Tags run on the v0.6.x patch line: `v0.6.0` (P0) … `v0.6.5` (P05 =
+milestone release).
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: Register `orca cert` Command Tree + cert_repo Tests (Wave 1)
+
+**Branch**: `phase/01-cert-register`
+**REQ Coverage**: REQ-053
+**Persona leads**: lead-developer (cert registration + smoke test), data-engineer (cert_repo tests)
+**Source ideas**: I-401, I-402, I-412
+
+### Must-Haves
+
+#### lead-developer territory
+- [ ] `internal/cli/cert.go` — add `init()` that calls `rootCmd.AddCommand(NewCommand(slog.Default()))`. This is the one-line fix that makes the entire `cert ca-init | gen | show | renew | fingerprint` tree reachable. (AD-022)
+- [ ] `internal/cli/cert_test.go` (NEW) — regression test asserting `rootCmd.Commands()` contains a child whose `Use == "cert"`; assert each subcommand (`ca-init`, `gen`, `show`, `renew`, `fingerprint`) is present on the cert child.
+- [ ] `internal/cli/cert_smoke_test.go` (NEW) — end-to-end smoke test against a temp `ORCA_HOME`:
+  - [ ] `orca cert ca-init --cn test-ca` → succeeds, `ca.crt` + `ca.key` exist with modes 0644/0600
+  - [ ] `orca cert gen --cn test-server --san localhost --san 127.0.0.1` → succeeds, `server.crt` + `server.key` exist with modes 0644/0600
+  - [ ] `orca cert show` → outputs PEM with no `PRIVATE KEY` blocks (REQ-035 redaction)
+  - [ ] `orca cert fingerprint --which ca` → outputs a 64-char hex SHA-256
+  - [ ] `orca cert fingerprint --which server` → outputs a 64-char hex SHA-256
+  - [ ] `orca cert renew` → succeeds, server cert file mtime updates
+- [ ] `internal/cli/root_test.go` — extend the existing root test to assert `orca cert` is in the command tree (belt-and-suspenders with cert_test.go)
+
+#### data-engineer territory
+- [ ] `internal/store/cert_repo_test.go` (NEW) — table-driven tests for `CertRepo`:
+  - [ ] `Insert` a cert row → `Get` by serial returns matching row
+  - [ ] `Insert` duplicate `serial_hex` → returns error (UNIQUE constraint, I-107)
+  - [ ] `List` returns certs ordered by `issued_at desc`
+  - [ ] Rotation history: Insert 4 certs for the same node → only last N=3 retained (REQ-025); oldest is pruned
+  - [ ] `GetActive` returns the most-recent cert for a node
+  - [ ] `Delete` removes a cert by serial

+## Phase 2: HCL Config File Parsing (Wave 1)
+
+**Branch**: `phase/02-config-parser`
+**REQ Coverage**: REQ-054
+**Persona leads**: backend-engineer (config package), lead-developer (root command --config flag wiring)
+**Source ideas**: I-406, I-408
+**Depends on**: Phase 1 (cert registration lands first so the CLI surface is complete before config extends it)
+
+### Must-Haves
+
+#### backend-engineer territory
+- [ ] `internal/config/config.go` (NEW package) — `Config` struct with HCL tags:
+  - [ ] `DBPath string `hcl:"db_path,optional"``
+  - [ ] `ListenAddr string `hcl:"listen_addr,optional"``
+  - [ ] `CAPath string `hcl:"ca_path,optional"``
+  - [ ] `ServerCertPath string `hcl:"server_cert_path,optional"``
+  - [ ] `ServerKeyPath string `hcl:"server_key_path,optional"``
+  - [ ] `NodeCapacity *CapacityConfig `hcl:"node_capacity,block"` (optional block)
+  - [ ] `Load(paths ...string) (*Config, error)` — loads the first existing file from `paths` via `hclsimple.Decode` (reuse the jobspec pattern, `internal/jobspec/spec.go:40`); returns a zero-value `Config` if no file exists (no error)
+  - [ ] `(*Config).MergeOverrides(flags Flags, env Environ) *Config` — applies precedence flag > env > file > default (D-039). Only non-zero flag values override; only set env vars override; file values are the base; missing fields fall back to `certpaths.*` defaults.
+  - [ ] No package-level state (AD-023). `Load` is a pure function.
+- [ ] `internal/config/config_test.go` (NEW) — table-driven tests:
+  - [ ] Load from a valid HCL file → all fields populated
+  - [ ] Load from a missing file → zero Config, no error
+  - [ ] Load from a malformed HCL file → error
+  - [ ] MergeOverrides: flag wins over env wins over file wins over default (all 4 layers exercised)
+  - [ ] MergeOverrides: empty flag does NOT override a set env value
+  - [ ] MergeOverrides: empty env does NOT override a set file value
+  - [ ] Optional `node_capacity` block parsed correctly
+
+#### lead-developer territory
+- [ ] `internal/cli/root.go` — add `--config string` persistent flag (default `""`). In `PersistentPreRunE`, if `--config` is set, call `config.Load(flag)` and stash the `*Config` in `cmd.Context()` via a context key. If `--config` is empty, `config.Load` is not called (zero overhead; existing flag/env behavior unchanged).
+- [ ] `internal/cli/daemon.go` — in the daemon command, if a `*Config` is present in the context, use `cfg.ListenAddr` as the default addr (flag still overrides per D-039).
+- [ ] `internal/cli/root_test.go` — extend with `--config <tmpfile>` test: pass a config file, assert the merged values reach the daemon command.
+- [ ] `testdata/config.hcl` (NEW) — example config file for tests:
+  ```hcl
+  db_path       = "/tmp/orca/test.db"
+  listen_addr   = "127.0.0.1:9999"
+  ca_path       = "/tmp/orca/ca.crt"

+**Source ideas**: I-403, I-404, I-405, I-410
+**Depends on**: Phase 1 + Phase 2 (tests build on the now-reachable cert tree + config package)
+
+### Must-Haves
+
+#### lead-developer territory — internal/engine
+- [ ] `internal/engine/executor_test.go` (NEW) — test `Executor.Start`/`Wait` lifecycle:
+  - [ ] Start a command (`/bin/echo hello`) → Wait → exit code 0, stdout captured
+  - [ ] Start a failing command (`/bin/false`) → exit code non-zero
+  - [ ] Cancel via ctx → process killed, `WaitDelay` honored (REQ-021)
+  - [ ] Env propagation: `Env=["FOO=bar"]` → child process sees `FOO=bar`
+- [ ] `internal/engine/dispatcher_test.go` (NEW) — test `Dispatcher.Submit`/`Dispatch`:
+  - [ ] Submit a job → dispatched to the correct peer (mock peer client)
+  - [ ] Idempotency key present → retry on transient failure (mock returns error twice then succeeds)
+  - [ ] Idempotency key absent → no retry (REQ-037)
+  - [ ] Bounded queue backpressure: fill the channel → Submit blocks (with timeout assertion)
+- [ ] `internal/engine/peer_test.go` (NEW) — test the peer HTTP client:
+  - [ ] `httptest.NewTLSServer` mock → peer client POSTs a dispatch request
+  - [ ] TLS handshake failure → structured error with `peer` + `err` fields
+
+#### lead-developer territory — internal/transport
+- [ ] `internal/transport/mtls_test.go` (NEW) — test mTLS handshake:
+  - [ ] `httptest.NewTLSServer` with a test CA → client with valid cert handshakes OK
+  - [ ] Client with expired cert → handshake fails with `event=mtls.handshake` log assertion
+  - [ ] Client with wrong CA → handshake fails
+- [ ] `internal/transport/dispatch_test.go` (NEW) — test `Dispatch` RPC:
+  - [ ] Successful dispatch → 200 OK
+  - [ ] Dispatch with `X-Orca-Idempotency-Key` → idempotent
+  - [ ] Dispatch without key → 400 (per REQ-037)
+- [ ] `internal/transport/handshake_log_test.go` (NEW) — assert `LogHandshakeOK`/`LogHandshakeFailed` emit the correct slog fields (`event`, `peer`, `cert_fp`, `err`)
+
+#### lead-developer territory — internal/audit
+- [ ] `internal/audit/audit_test.go` (NEW) — test the `Audit` wrapper:
+  - [ ] `Emit` with `ActionCertIssued` + `ResultSuccess` → `engine.Record` called with correct args (mock `engine.Audit`)
+  - [ ] `EmitWithErr` → `engine.Record` called with `result=failure` + err in metadata
+  - [ ] `LogHandshakeOK` → slog output contains `event=mtls.handshake`, `result=ok`, `peer`, `cert_fp`
+  - [ ] `LogHandshakeFailed` → slog output contains `result=failed` + `err`
+  - [ ] Nil-safe: `(*Audit)(nil).Emit(...)` → no panic
+
+#### data-engineer territory — internal/proxmox
+- [ ] `internal/proxmox/bootstrap_test.go` — extend the existing test:
+  - [ ] Mock the `sshDialer` interface (already present at `bootstrap.go:211`) → assert the full bootstrap sequence calls the right shell commands in order (user create, role create, role assign, sudoers drop, pubkey deploy)
+  - [ ] Idempotent re-run: mock returns "already exists" for user create → bootstrap succeeds without re-creating
+  - [ ] SSH auth failure → bootstrap returns wrapped error
+  - [ ] Assert no password is logged (D-031)
+
+#### CI gate (I-410)
+- [ ] `.coreci.yml` — add a `coverage-gate` step in the `test` pipeline that runs `go test -cover ./internal/engine ./internal/transport ./internal/proxmox ./internal/audit` and fails if any package < 50% (AD-025). Use a small shell snippet + `awk`/`grep` to parse coverage percentages.

+**REQ Coverage**: REQ-056
+**Persona leads**: lead-developer (daemon flag + pprof server)
+**Source ideas**: I-407, I-409
+**Depends on**: Phase 3 (daemon tests exist; pprof adds a new daemon path)
+
+### Must-Haves
+
+#### lead-developer territory
+- [ ] `internal/daemon/pprof.go` (NEW) — `StartPprof(addr string, log *slog.Logger) (*http.Server, error)`:
+  - [ ] Create a dedicated `*http.ServeMux` (NOT `http.DefaultServeMux`)
+  - [ ] `import _ "net/http/pprof"` → register `pprof.Index`, `pprof.Cmdline`, `pprof.Profile`, `pprof.Symbol`, `pprof.Trace`, `pprof.Handler` on the dedicated mux
+  - [ ] Return a `*http.Server` listening on `addr` with the dedicated mux
+  - [ ] Log a WARN: `pprof endpoint exposed unauthenticated on <addr> — operator-only, do not expose publicly`
+  - [ ] Never touch the mTLS daemon listener (AD-024)
+- [ ] `internal/daemon/server.go` — add a `pprofAddr string` field to `Options` (default `""` = disabled). In `Start`, if `pprofAddr != ""`, call `StartPprof` and store the `*http.Server` for `Shutdown`.
+- [ ] `internal/daemon/pprof_test.go` (NEW) — test:
+  - [ ] `StartPprof("127.0.0.1:0", ...)` → server starts, GET `/debug/pprof/` returns 200
+  - [ ] GET `/debug/pprof/cmdline` returns the cmdline
+  - [ ] `Shutdown` stops the pprof server
+  - [ ] The mTLS daemon server (if running) is unaffected by pprof start/stop
+- [ ] `internal/cli/daemon.go` — add `--pprof string` flag (default `""` = disabled). Pass it into `daemon.Options.PprofAddr`. Document in `--help`: "enable pprof endpoint on <addr> (e.g. :6060); unauthenticated, operator-only".
+- [ ] `internal/cli/daemon_test.go` — extend: `--pprof 127.0.0.1:0` → daemon starts with pprof; flag absent → no pprof server.
+
+### Verification
+
+- `go build ./...` PASS
+- `go vet ./...` PASS
+- `go test -race ./internal/daemon/...` PASS
+- `./bin/orca daemon --pprof 127.0.0.1:0` (in background) → `curl http://127.0.0.1:<port>/debug/pprof/` returns 200
+- `./bin/orca daemon` (no `--pprof`) → no pprof listener, `/debug/pprof/` not reachable on the daemon port
+- pprof mux is separate from the mTLS daemon mux (asserted in test)

+
+The 5 v0.7 decisions (D-038..D-042) were auto-resolved at full autonomy
+within the `clarify_budget` (10):
+
+| ID | Question | Decision | Rationale | Confidence |
+|----|----------|----------|-----------|------------|
+| D-038 | Config file format — HCL or YAML? | **HCL** | D-009 already specced `config.hcl`. HCL is already a direct dep (hashicorp/hcl/v2 for jobspec). Adding YAML would introduce a second parser dep — violates minimal-deps. Use the existing `hclparse` pkg from jobspec. | 0.93 |
+| D-039 | Config precedence order (flag vs env vs file vs default)? | **flag > env > file > default** | Standard layered config: the most explicit (flag) wins, then the runtime (env), then the persisted (file), then the built-in default. Matches cobra/viper convention without the viper dep. | 0.92 |
+| D-040 | pprof security — bind to localhost only, or operator-chosen addr? | **Operator-chosen `--pprof <addr>` (default disabled)** | Default disabled keeps the minimalist posture. Operator picks the addr — localhost for dev, unix socket for prod. Separate mux so it never touches the mTLS daemon listener. No auth (pprof is operator-only, addr is the gate). | 0.85 |
+| D-041 | cert command registration — where in root command order? | **After `cert` is unreachable today, append after `node` in rootCmd.AddCommand order** | Alphabetical-ish with the existing cluster (audit, daemon, doctor, init, job, node, cert, status, version). No behavior change to existing commands. | 0.88 |
+| D-042 | Coverage target — 50% floor or higher? | **50% floor per package, 70% target for new packages** | 50% is achievable for the concurrent packages (engine, transport) without heroic mock effort; 70% is the floor for new code in P02/P04. Avoids a "raise coverage everywhere" rathole. | 0.85 |
+
+## v0.7 Scope Summary — Hardening & Completion
+
+v0.7 is a 4-execution-phase **NFR milestone** that closes out gaps
+surfaced by the v0.7 IDEATE stage: an unreachable command tree, a
+missing config file layer, low test coverage in core packages, and the
+long-deferred pprof endpoint. The engine functionality from v0.1–v0.6
+is unchanged; this milestone is purely about **correctness, coverage,
+and operability**:
+
+- **P01 — Register `orca cert` command tree + cert_repo tests.** The
+  `internal/cli/cert.go` command (`cert ca-init`, `cert gen`, `cert
+  show`, `cert renew`, `cert fingerprint`) is fully implemented but
+  never wired into `rootCmd`. This phase adds the missing
+  `rootCmd.AddCommand(newCertCmd(...))` and adds the missing
+  `internal/store/cert_repo_test.go`. Covers REQ-053.
+- **P02 — HCL config file parsing (`config.hcl`).** D-009 specified
+  `~/.orca/config.hcl` and `/etc/orca/orca.hcl` as config locations,
+  but no HCL config-file parser exists — the CLI relies entirely on
+  flags and env vars. This phase adds a minimal `internal/config`
+  package that loads `config.hcl` (keys: `db_path`, `listen_addr`,
+  `ca_path`, `server_cert_path`, `server_key_path`, `node_capacity`),
+  merges with env/flag overrides (flag > env > file > default), and
+  surfaces it via `--config` flag on the root command. Covers
+  REQ-054.
+- **P03 — Test coverage uplift.** Adds tests for the lowest-coverage
+  packages: `internal/engine` (executor, dispatcher, peer — currently
+  8.3%), `internal/transport` (mtls, dispatch, handshake_log —
+  currently 26.3%), `internal/proxmox` (bootstrap SSH path —
+  currently 5.1%), and `internal/audit` (no tests). Target: every
+  package ≥ 50% coverage. Covers REQ-055.
+- **P04 — `--pprof` opt-in on `orca daemon`.** Adds the long-deferred
+  I-308 pprof endpoint behind an opt-in `--pprof <addr>` flag (default
+  disabled). `net/http/pprof` mounted on a separate mux so it never
+  touches the mTLS daemon listener. Covers REQ-056.
+- **P05 — Final review + ship + audit.** Milestone release.
+
+The vision ("minimalist, offline-first, CLI-first orchestration
+engine") is unchanged. v0.7 is a hardening milestone, not a direction
+change. Milestone type: NFR (all phases are fix/test/chore); the final
+phase's progressive patch IS the deliverable per `run.md` versioning
+logic. Tags run on the v0.6.x patch line: `v0.6.0` (P0) … `v0.6.5` (P05
+= milestone release).

+  absent. `./bin/orca cert` returns `error: unknown command "cert"`.
+- The function is named `NewCommand` (not `newCertCmd`), so it is not
+  picked up by any init-based registration convention.
+- **Impact**: every cert operation the spec promises (REQ-023, REQ-025,
+  REQ-033, REQ-035, REQ-036) is unreachable from the CLI. Operators
+  cannot bootstrap a CA, issue a server cert, or rotate one without
+  hand-crafting calls into the `security` package. This is the single
+  highest-impact bug in the v0.1–v0.6 line.
+- **Fix**: one-line `rootCmd.AddCommand(NewCommand(log))` in
+  `internal/cli/cert.go` (or a new `init()`), plus a regression test
+  that asserts `rootCmd.Commands()` contains a child whose `Use ==
+  "cert"`.
+
+### 1.2 `internal/store/cert_repo.go` has no test file
+
+- `internal/store/cert_repo.go` exists (the `certs` table from
+  migration 0004) but `internal/store/cert_repo_test.go` does not.
+- Every other repo in `internal/store/` has a `_test.go`:
+  `node_repo_test.go`, `job_task_repo_test.go`, `capacity_repo_test.go`,
+  `audit_repo_test.go`, `migrate_test.go`.
+- **Fix**: add `cert_repo_test.go` covering Insert/Get/List/rotation
+  history (N=3 per REQ-025) + serial_hex uniqueness.
+
+### 1.3 Low test coverage in core packages
+
+| Package | Coverage | Missing tests for |
+|---------|----------|-------------------|
+| `internal/engine` | 8.3% | `executor.go`, `dispatcher.go`, `peer.go` (only `scheduler_test.go` exists) |
+| `internal/transport` | 26.3% | `mtls.go`, `dispatch.go`, `handshake_log.go` (only `idempotency_test.go` exists) |
+| `internal/proxmox` | 5.1% | `bootstrap.go` SSH path (only `bootstrap_test.go` exists, exercises the no-op dry-run) |
+| `internal/audit` | no test files | `audit.go` (Emit, EmitWithErr, LogHandshake*) |
+
+- Target per D-042: 50% floor per package, 70% for new code in P02/P04.
+- Strategy: table-driven tests + `httptest.NewTLSServer` for transport;
+  interface-based mocks for the SSH dialer (already an interface in
+  `proxmox/bootstrap.go:211` `defaultSSHDialer` with `DialContext`).
+
+### 1.4 No HCL config file parser
+
+- D-009 specified `~/.orca/config.hcl` and `/etc/orca/orca.hcl` as
+  config locations. `find . -name "*.hcl"` returns only testdata
+  (`testdata/hello.hcl`, `testdata/fail.hcl`) used by jobspec tests.
+- The CLI relies entirely on flags + env vars (`ORCA_HOME`,
+  `ORCA_DB`, `ORCA_PROXMOX_PASSWORD`). There is no `internal/config`
+  package.
+- `internal/jobspec/spec.go:40` already uses
+  `hclsimple.Decode(filename, data, nil, &spec)` — the exact same
+  pattern works for a `Config` struct. No new dep required (hashicorp/hcl/v2
+  is already a direct dep).
+- **Fix**: new `internal/config` package with a `Config` struct (HCL
+  tags: `db_path`, `listen_addr`, `ca_path`, `server_cert_path`,
+  `server_key_path`, `node_capacity`), a `Load(paths ...string)`
+  function, and a `--config` flag on the root command. Precedence per
+  D-039: flag > env > file > default.
+
+### 1.5 pprof endpoint (I-308, deferred since v0.2)
+
+- I-308 was deferred in v0.2 IDEATE ("keep v0.2 lean") and never
+  revisited. The daemon (`internal/daemon/server.go`) has no pprof
+  surface today.
+- `net/http/pprof` is stdlib — zero new deps. Mount on a separate
+  `*http.ServeMux` so it never touches the mTLS daemon listener.
+- **Fix**: `--pprof <addr>` flag on `orca daemon` (default disabled).
+  If set, start a second `http.Server` on `<addr>` with
+  `pprof.Index`/`pprof.Cmdline`/etc. registered. Log a WARN that the
+  endpoint is unauthenticated + operator-only.
+
+## 2. Prior art & patterns
+
+### 2.1 HCL config in HashiCorp tools
+
+Nomad, Consul, and Terraform all use HCL for config with the same
+`hclsimple.Decode` + struct-tag pattern. The precedence model (flag >
+env > file > default) is the de-facto standard; Viper implements it but
+adds a large dep. Orca's `internal/config` will implement the 4-layer
+merge by hand (~80 LOC) to stay minimal-deps.
+
+### 2.2 pprof in Go daemons
+
+Standard pattern: `import _ "net/http/pprof"` registers handlers on
+`http.DefaultServeMux`. Best practice for production daemons is a
+**separate listener** (not DefaultServeMux) so pprof is never exposed
+on the public port. Orca will use a dedicated `*http.ServeMux` +
+`http.Server` on the `--pprof` addr, default disabled.
+
+### 2.3 Test coverage for concurrent Go
+
+`internal/engine` (executor, dispatcher) and `internal/transport`
+(mtls, dispatch) are concurrent. Coverage strategy:
+- `httptest.NewTLSServer` for transport — exercise real TLS handshakes
+  against an in-process server.
+- Interface-based mocks for the SSH dialer (proxmox) and the peer
+  client (transport) — both already have interface seams.
+- `sync.WaitGroup` + channel assertions for executor/dispatcher
+  lifecycle.
+- `-race` is already on in CI (REQ-031) — new tests inherit it.
+
+## 3. v0.7 Architectural Decisions (AD-022..AD-026)
+
+| ID | Decision | Rationale |
+|----|----------|-----------|
+| AD-022 | `orca cert` registered via `init()` in `cert.go` calling `rootCmd.AddCommand(NewCommand(slog.Default()))` | Keeps registration co-located with the command definition; matches the pattern in `daemon.go`/`audit.go` where each command file self-registers. Avoids a central registration function that would drift. |
+| AD-023 | `internal/config` package: `Config` struct + `Load(paths ...string) (*Config, error)`; no global singleton | Config is passed explicitly to `daemon.NewServer`, `cli` commands, etc. No package-level state — testable, no init-order surprises. |
+| AD-024 | pprof on a separate `*http.Server` + `*http.ServeMux`, default disabled | Never co-mingles with the mTLS daemon listener. Operator opts in via `--pprof :6060`. Matches Go daemon best practice. |
+| AD-025 | Coverage floor measured per-package via `go test -cover ./<pkg>` | No aggregate threshold (aggregates hide low-coverage packages). CI gate added in P03: `go test -cover ./internal/engine ./internal/transport ./internal/proxmox ./internal/audit` and assert each ≥ 50%. |
+| AD-026 | No new direct dependencies in v0.7 | `net/http/pprof` (stdlib), `hashicorp/hcl/v2` (already direct). v0.7 preserves the minimal-deps ethos. |
+
+## 4. PERSONAS assessment
+
+v0.7 is an NFR milestone touching CLI, config, tests, and daemon. The
+default 3-persona roster (lead-developer, backend-engineer,
+data-engineer) is sufficient:
+
+- **lead-developer**: owns P01 (cert registration) + P04 (pprof) — CLI/
+  daemon territory.
+- **backend-engineer**: owns P02 (config package) — internal/config +
+  CLI integration.
+- **data-engineer**: owns P01 cert_repo tests + P03 store coverage —
+  `internal/store` territory.
+- **lead-developer** also owns P03 engine/transport/proxmox/audit
+  coverage (test-only phase, no schema changes).
+
+No new personas needed. No phase-specific personas. Territory
+enforcement stays `warn`. See `.ciagent/PERSONAS.md` (updated).
+
+## 5. Dependencies
+
+v0.7 adds **zero** new direct dependencies:
+- HCL parsing: `hashicorp/hcl/v2` (already direct, used by jobspec).
+- pprof: `net/http/pprof` (stdlib).
+- Tests: `net/http/httptest` (stdlib), existing interfaces.
+
+`go.mod` is unchanged by v0.7.
+
+## 6. Risks
+
+- **P01 cert registration** may surface latent bugs in the cert
+  subcommands (they've never been exercised end-to-end). Mitigation:
+  P01 includes a smoke test that runs `cert ca-init` + `cert gen` +
+  `cert show` + `cert fingerprint` against a temp `ORCA_HOME`.
+- **P02 config precedence** is easy to get wrong (flag/env/file/default
+  merge order). Mitigation: table-driven test covering all 4 layers.
+- **P03 coverage** on concurrent packages may reveal race conditions
+  (already hidden by the 8.3% coverage). Mitigation: `-race` is on; P03
+  fixes any races it uncovers as part of the same phase.
