The parked PR (#1934) triggered re-sign by restarting hive-tls-ca
(a RemainAfterExit oneshot), which mara flagged as a hack. This
replaces that with a dedicated hive-tls-resign.{service,timer}:
- hive-tls-ca unchanged — still handles boot-time CA generation +
initial leaf signing; RemainAfterExit, runs before the gateway.
- hive-tls-resign.service — runs the leaf re-sign directly (openssl
in its own PATH); does NOT touch hive-tls-ca. Re-signs only when
the leaf is within half its validity of expiry, so the weekly timer
catches short-lived (30d default) leaves well before they lapse.
Checks sha256 before/after; if the leaf rotated it propagates into
the running gateway via systemctl -M hive-gateway (mirroring how
hive-c0re reloads the gateway after agents.conf writes — the
documented correct approach; an inotify path unit inside the
container does not work across the nspawn mount-namespace boundary).
|| true on the propagation calls so a stopped gateway never fails
the unit (its next boot imports the already-rotated leaf).
- hive-tls-resign.timer — OnCalendar=weekly, Persistent=true (fires a
missed run on next boot so a host that was off on the scheduled day
catches up rather than letting the leaf lapse silently).
- leafValidityDays doc updated to reflect automatic renewal.
Closes#1933.
