docs: complete feature documentation rewrite

Comprehensive documentation overhaul for Charon features:

Rewrite features.md as marketing overview (87% reduction)
Create comprehensive dns-challenge.md for new DNS feature
Expand 18 feature stub pages into complete documentation:
SSL certificates, CrowdSec, WAF, ACLs, rate limiting
Security headers, proxy headers, web UI, Docker integration
Caddyfile import, logs, WebSocket, backup/restore
Live reload, localization, API, UI themes, supply chain security
Update README.md with DNS Challenge in Top Features
Total: ~2,000+ lines of new user-facing documentation

Refs: #21, #461

## Overview
<!-- TODO: Add detailed overview -->
Supply chain attacks are increasingly common. Charon protects you with multiple verification layers that prove the image you're running was built from the official source code, hasn't been tampered with, and contains no hidden dependencies.
Coming soon.
### Security Artifacts
## Configuration
| Artifact | Purpose | Standard |
|----------|---------|----------|
| **Cosign Signature** | Cryptographic proof of origin | Sigstore |
| **SLSA Provenance** | Build process attestation | SLSA Level 3 |
| **SBOM** | Complete dependency inventory | SPDX/CycloneDX |
<!-- TODO: Add configuration steps -->
## Why Supply Chain Security Matters
Coming soon.
| Threat | Mitigation |
|--------|------------|
| **Compromised CI/CD** | SLSA provenance verifies build source |
| **Malicious maintainer** | Signatures require private key access |
| **Dependency hijacking** | SBOM enables vulnerability scanning |
| **Registry tampering** | Signatures detect unauthorized changes |
| **Audit requirements** | Complete traceability for compliance |
## Verifying Image Signatures
### Prerequisites
```bash
# Install Cosign
# macOS
brew install cosign
# Linux
curl -LO https://github.com/sigstore/cosign/releases/latest/download/cosign-linux-amd64
chmod +x cosign-linux-amd64 && sudo mv cosign-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/cosign
```
### Verify a Charon Image
```bash
# Verify signature (keyless - uses Sigstore public transparency log)
cosign verify ghcr.io/wikid82/charon:latest \
--certificate-identity-regexp='https://github.com/Wikid82/charon/.*' \
--certificate-oidc-issuer='https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com'
# Successful output shows:
# Verification for ghcr.io/wikid82/charon:latest --
# The following checks were performed on each of these signatures:
# - The cosign claims were validated
# - The signatures were verified against the specified public key
```
### Verify SLSA Provenance
```bash
# Install slsa-verifier
go install github.com/slsa-framework/slsa-verifier/v2/cli/slsa-verifier@latest
# Verify provenance attestation
slsa-verifier verify-image ghcr.io/wikid82/charon:latest \
--source-uri github.com/Wikid82/charon \
--source-tag v2.0.0
```
## Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)
### What's Included
The SBOM lists every component in the image:
- Go modules and versions
- System packages (Alpine)
- Frontend npm dependencies
- Build tools used
### Retrieving the SBOM
```bash
# Download SBOM attestation
cosign download sbom ghcr.io/wikid82/charon:latest > charon-sbom.spdx.json
# View in human-readable format
cat charon-sbom.spdx.json | jq '.packages[] | {name, version}'
```
### Vulnerability Scanning
Use the SBOM with vulnerability scanners:
```bash
# Scan with Trivy
trivy sbom charon-sbom.spdx.json
# Scan with Grype
grype sbom:charon-sbom.spdx.json
```
## SLSA Provenance Details
SLSA (Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts) provenance includes:
| Field | Content |
|-------|---------|
| `buildType` | GitHub Actions workflow |
| `invocation` | Commit SHA, branch, workflow run |
| `materials` | Source repository, dependencies |
| `builder` | GitHub-hosted runner details |
### Example Provenance
```json
{
"buildType": "https://github.com/slsa-framework/slsa-github-generator",
"invocation": {
"configSource": {
"uri": "git+https://github.com/Wikid82/charon@refs/tags/v2.0.0",
"entryPoint": ".github/workflows/release.yml"
}
},
"materials": [{
"uri": "git+https://github.com/Wikid82/charon",
"digest": {"sha1": "abc123..."}
}]
}
```
## Enterprise Compliance
These artifacts support compliance requirements:
- **SOC 2**: Demonstrates secure build practices
- **FedRAMP**: Provides software supply chain documentation
- **PCI DSS**: Enables change management auditing
- **NIST SSDF**: Aligns with secure development framework
