- this repo is dependent on letsencrypt and its limits
- to simpify the outside API, smartacme is stateful, meaning it works with a mongodb and a collection called 'SmartacmeCert'.

## Certificate Request Behavior

As of v7.4.0, SmartAcme no longer automatically requests wildcard certificates for all domain requests. This change was made to fix issues with HTTP-01 only configurations which cannot validate wildcard domains.

- By default, `getCertificateForDomain('example.com')` only requests a certificate for `example.com`
- To request both regular and wildcard certificates, use `getCertificateForDomain('example.com', { includeWildcard: true })`
- Wildcard certificates require a DNS-01 challenge handler to be configured
- Direct wildcard requests like `getCertificateForDomain('*.example.com')` only request the wildcard certificate

This change ensures HTTP-01 only configurations work properly while still allowing wildcard certificates when needed and supported.

## ACME Protocol Implementation

As of v8.1.0, the `acme-client` npm package has been replaced with a custom OOP implementation under `ts/acme/`. This uses `node:crypto` for all cryptographic operations and `@peculiar/x509` solely for CSR generation. The implementation follows RFC 8555.

Key files:
- `ts/acme/acme.classes.client.ts` — Top-level facade (`AcmeClient`), accepts optional `logger` callback
- `ts/acme/acme.classes.crypto.ts` — Key gen, JWK, JWS signing, CSR (`AcmeCrypto`)
- `ts/acme/acme.classes.http-client.ts` — JWS-signed HTTP transport with nonce management and logging
- `ts/acme/acme.classes.error.ts` — Structured `AcmeError` with type URN, subproblems, Retry-After, `isRetryable`/`isRateLimited`
- `ts/acme/acme.classes.account.ts` — Account registration
- `ts/acme/acme.classes.order.ts` — Order lifecycle + polling
- `ts/acme/acme.classes.challenge.ts` — Key authorization + challenge completion
- `ts/acme/acme.classes.directory.ts` — CA directory URL constants (`ACME_DIRECTORY_URLS`)

Usage in `ts/plugins.ts`: `import * as acme from './acme/index.js'` (replaces `acme-client`)

## Dependency Notes

- `acme-client` was replaced with custom implementation in `ts/acme/` + `@peculiar/x509` for CSR generation
- `@push.rocks/smartfile`, `@api.global/typedserver`, `@push.rocks/smartrequest`, `@push.rocks/smartpromise` were removed as unused dependencies in v8.1.0
- The `@apiclient.xyz/cloudflare` `convenience` namespace is deprecated but still functional. The `Dns01Handler` accepts an `IConvenientDnsProvider` interface which remains stable.
- Test imports use `@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle` (not `@push.rocks/tapbundle`)
- Build uses `tsbuild` (no flags needed, v4+)
