+## Troubleshooting Console Enrollment
+
+### Engine Shows "Offline" in Console
+
+Your CrowdSec Console dashboard shows your engine as "Offline" even though it's running locally.
+
+**Why this happens:**
+
+CrowdSec sends periodic "heartbeats" to the Console to confirm it's alive. If heartbeats stop reaching the Console servers, your engine appears offline.
+
+**Quick check:**
+
+Run the diagnostic script to test connectivity:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/diagnose-crowdsec.sh
+```
+
+Or use the API endpoint:
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8080/api/v1/cerberus/crowdsec/diagnostics/connectivity
+```
+
+**Common causes and fixes:**
+
+| Cause | Fix |
+|-------|-----|
+| Firewall blocking outbound HTTPS | Allow connections to `api.crowdsec.net` on port 443 |
+| DNS resolution failure | Verify `nslookup api.crowdsec.net` works |
+| Proxy not configured | Set `HTTP_PROXY`/`HTTPS_PROXY` environment variables |
+| Heartbeat service not running | Force a manual heartbeat (see below) |
+
+**Force a manual heartbeat:**
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/cerberus/crowdsec/console/heartbeat
+```
+
+### Enrollment Token Expired or Invalid
+
+**Error messages:**
+
+- "token expired"
+- "unauthorized"
+- "invalid enrollment key"
+
+**Solution:**
+
+1. Log in to [console.crowdsec.net](https://console.crowdsec.net)
+2. Navigate to **Instances → Add Instance**
+3. Generate a new enrollment token
+4. Paste the new token in Charon's enrollment form
+
+Tokens expire after a set period. Always use a freshly generated token.
+
+### LAPI Not Started / Connection Refused
+
+**Error messages:**
+
+- "connection refused"
+- "LAPI not available"
+
+**Why this happens:**
+
+CrowdSec's Local API (LAPI) needs 30-60 seconds to fully start after the container launches.
+
+**Check LAPI status:**
+
+```bash
+docker exec charon cscli lapi status
+```
+
+**If you see "connection refused":**
+
+1. Wait 60 seconds after container start
+2. Check CrowdSec is enabled in the Security dashboard
+3. Try toggling CrowdSec OFF then ON again
+
+### Already Enrolled Error
+
+**Error message:** "instance already enrolled"
+
+**Why this happens:**
+
+A previous enrollment attempt succeeded but Charon's local state wasn't updated.
+
+**Verify enrollment:**
+
+1. Log in to [console.crowdsec.net](https://console.crowdsec.net)
+2. Check **Instances** — your engine may already appear
+3. If it's listed, Charon just needs to sync
+
+**Force a re-sync:**
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/cerberus/crowdsec/console/heartbeat
+```
+
+### Network/Firewall Issues
+
+**Symptom:** Enrollment hangs or times out
+
+**Test connectivity manually:**
+
+```bash
+# Check DNS resolution
+nslookup api.crowdsec.net
+
+# Test HTTPS connectivity
+curl -I https://api.crowdsec.net
+```
+
+**Required outbound connections:**
+
+| Host | Port | Purpose |
+|------|------|---------|
+| `api.crowdsec.net` | 443 | Console API and heartbeats |
+| `hub.crowdsec.net` | 443 | Hub presets download |
+
+## Using the Diagnostic Script
+
+The diagnostic script checks CrowdSec connectivity and configuration in one command.
+
+**Run all diagnostics:**
+
+```bash
+./scripts/diagnose-crowdsec.sh
+```
+
+**Output as JSON (for automation):**
+
+```bash
+./scripts/diagnose-crowdsec.sh --json
+```
+
+**Use a custom data directory:**
+
+```bash
+./scripts/diagnose-crowdsec.sh --data-dir /custom/path
+```
+
+**What it checks:**
+
+- LAPI availability and health
+- CAPI (Central API) connectivity
+- Console enrollment status
+- Heartbeat service status
+- Configuration file validity
+
+## Diagnostic API Endpoints
+
+Access diagnostics programmatically through these API endpoints:
+
+| Endpoint | Method | What It Does |
+|----------|--------|--------------|
+| `/api/v1/cerberus/crowdsec/diagnostics/connectivity` | GET | Tests LAPI and CAPI connectivity |
+| `/api/v1/cerberus/crowdsec/diagnostics/config` | GET | Validates enrollment configuration |
+| `/api/v1/cerberus/crowdsec/console/heartbeat` | POST | Forces an immediate heartbeat check |
+
+**Example: Check connectivity**
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8080/api/v1/cerberus/crowdsec/diagnostics/connectivity
+```
+
+**Example response:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "lapi": {
+    "status": "healthy",
+    "latency_ms": 12
+  },
+  "capi": {
+    "status": "reachable",
+    "latency_ms": 145
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Reading the Logs
+
+Look for these log prefixes when debugging:
+
+| Prefix | What It Means |
+|--------|---------------|
+| `[CROWDSEC_ENROLLMENT]` | Enrollment operations (token validation, CAPI registration) |
+| `[HEARTBEAT_POLLER]` | Background heartbeat service activity |
+| `[CROWDSEC_STARTUP]` | LAPI initialization and startup |
+
+**View enrollment logs:**
+
+```bash
+docker logs charon 2>&1 | grep CROWDSEC_ENROLLMENT
+```
+
+**View heartbeat activity:**
+
+```bash
+docker logs charon 2>&1 | grep HEARTBEAT_POLLER
+```
+
+**Common log patterns:**
+
+| Log Message | Meaning |
+|-------------|---------|
+| `heartbeat sent successfully` | Console communication working |
+| `CAPI registration failed: timeout` | Network issue reaching CrowdSec servers |
+| `enrollment completed` | Console enrollment succeeded |
+| `retrying enrollment (attempt 2/3)` | Temporary failure, automatic retry in progress |

+# Manual Test Plan: CrowdSec Console Enrollment
+
+**Issue**: #586
+**PR**: #609
+**Date**: 2025-01-29
+
+## Overview
+
+This test plan covers manual verification of CrowdSec console enrollment functionality to ensure the engine appears online in the CrowdSec console after enrollment.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker container running with CrowdSec enabled
+- Valid CrowdSec console account
+- Fresh enrollment token from console.crowdsec.net
+
+## Test Cases
+
+### TC1: Fresh Enrollment
+
+| Step | Action | Expected Result |
+|------|--------|-----------------|
+| 1 | Navigate to Security → CrowdSec | CrowdSec settings page loads |
+| 2 | Enable CrowdSec if not enabled | Toggle switches to enabled |
+| 3 | Enter valid enrollment token | Token field accepts input |
+| 4 | Click Enroll | Loading indicator appears |
+| 5 | Wait for completion | Success message shown |
+| 6 | Check CrowdSec console | Engine appears online within 5 minutes |
+
+### TC2: Heartbeat Verification
+
+| Step | Action | Expected Result |
+|------|--------|-----------------|
+| 1 | Complete TC1 enrollment | Engine enrolled |
+| 2 | Wait 5 minutes | Heartbeat poller runs |
+| 3 | Check logs for `[HEARTBEAT_POLLER]` | Heartbeat success logged |
+| 4 | Check console.crowdsec.net | Last seen updates to recent time |
+
+### TC3: Diagnostic Endpoints
+
+| Step | Action | Expected Result |
+|------|--------|-----------------|
+| 1 | Call GET `/api/v1/cerberus/crowdsec/diagnostics/connectivity` | Returns connectivity status |
+| 2 | Verify `lapi_reachable` is true | LAPI is running |
+| 3 | Verify `capi_reachable` is true | Can reach CrowdSec cloud |
+| 4 | Call GET `/api/v1/cerberus/crowdsec/diagnostics/config` | Returns config validation |
+
+### TC4: Diagnostic Script
+
+| Step | Action | Expected Result |
+|------|--------|-----------------|
+| 1 | Run `./scripts/diagnose-crowdsec.sh` | All 10 checks execute |
+| 2 | Verify LAPI status check passes | Shows "running" |
+| 3 | Verify console status check | Shows enrollment status |
+| 4 | Run with `--json` flag | Valid JSON output |
+
+### TC5: Recovery from Offline State
+
+| Step | Action | Expected Result |
+|------|--------|-----------------|
+| 1 | Stop the container | Container stops |
+| 2 | Wait 1 hour | Console shows engine offline |
+| 3 | Restart container | Container starts |
+| 4 | Wait 5-10 minutes | Heartbeat poller reconnects |
+| 5 | Check console | Engine shows online again |
+
+### TC6: Token Expiration Handling
+
+| Step | Action | Expected Result |
+|------|--------|-----------------|
+| 1 | Use an expired enrollment token | |
+| 2 | Attempt enrollment | Error message indicates token expired |
+| 3 | Check logs | Error is logged with `[CROWDSEC_ENROLLMENT]` |
+| 4 | Token is NOT visible in logs | Secret redacted |
+
+### TC7: Already Enrolled Error
+
+| Step | Action | Expected Result |
+|------|--------|-----------------|
+| 1 | Complete successful enrollment | |
+| 2 | Attempt enrollment again with same token | |
+| 3 | Error message indicates already enrolled | |
+| 4 | Existing enrollment preserved | |
+
+## Known Issues
+
+- **Edge case**: If LAPI takes >30s to start after container restart, first heartbeat may fail (retries automatically)
+- **Console lag**: CrowdSec console may take 2-5 minutes to reflect online status

+# CrowdSec Enrollment & Console Connectivity Debug Plan
+
+**Issue Reference:** #586
+**Problem:** CrowdSec engine showing as offline since 12/19/25 in web console
+**Date Created:** 2026-02-03
+**Status:** Research Complete - Ready for Implementation
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This document provides a comprehensive debugging and testing strategy for diagnosing and resolving CrowdSec console enrollment and connectivity issues. The issue manifests as the CrowdSec engine appearing offline in the crowdsec.net web console despite being enrolled locally.
+
+### Key Findings from Research
+
+**Architecture Components Identified:**
+1. **CrowdSec Handler** (`backend/internal/api/handlers/crowdsec_handler.go`) - Manages lifecycle, enrollment, status
+2. **Console Enrollment Service** (`backend/internal/crowdsec/console_enroll.go`) - Handles enrollment with retry logic
+3. **Startup Service** (`backend/internal/services/crowdsec_startup.go`) - Auto-starts CrowdSec on container boot
+4. **Docker Entrypoint** (`.docker/docker-entrypoint.sh`) - Initializes CrowdSec configuration
+5. **Database Model** (`backend/internal/models/crowdsec_console_enrollment.go`) - Stores enrollment state
+6. **LAPI** - Runs on port 8085, health checks via `cscli lapi status`
+7. **Feature Flag** - `feature.crowdsec.console_enrollment` controls console enrollment UI visibility
+
+**Current Test Coverage:**
+- ✅ Integration tests for CrowdSec decisions (`backend/integration/crowdsec_decisions_integration_test.go`)
+- ✅ Integration tests for CrowdSec startup (`backend/integration/crowdsec_integration_test.go`)
+- ✅ E2E tests for CrowdSec configuration page (`tests/security/crowdsec-config.spec.ts`)
+- ✅ Unit tests for startup service (`backend/internal/services/crowdsec_startup_test.go`)
+- ❌ **No E2E tests for console enrollment**
+- ❌ **No integration tests for LAPI heartbeat/connectivity**
+- ❌ **No tests for enrollment token validation**
+- ❌ **No tests for console status polling**
+
+---
+
+## Problem Analysis
+
+### Symptom: Engine Offline in Console
+
+When CrowdSec shows as "offline" in the crowdsec.net console, it indicates one or more of the following:
+
+1. **LAPI Not Running** - The Local API process is not active
+2. **Enrollment Not Completed** - Token accepted locally but not on crowdsec.net
+3. **Heartbeat Failure** - LAPI running but not sending heartbeats to console
+4. **Network Connectivity** - Container cannot reach crowdsec.net APIs
+5. **Token Expiry** - Enrollment token expired or revoked
+6. **CAPI Not Registered** - Central API credentials missing or invalid
+7. **Config Corruption** - Missing or corrupt `online_api_credentials.yaml`
+
+### Known Failure Points
+
+#### 1. Enrollment Token Handling
+**Location:** `backend/internal/crowdsec/console_enroll.go:124-149`
+
+**Current Implementation:**
+```go
+token, err := normalizeEnrollmentKey(req.EnrollmentKey)
+if err != nil {
+    return ConsoleEnrollmentStatus{}, err
+}
+```
+
+**Issues:**
+- Token validation only checks format (alphanumeric, 10-64 chars)
+- No check for token expiry before attempting enrollment
+- Token is encrypted and stored but never re-validated
+- No explicit error for expired tokens (generic failure message)
+
+**Impact:** Users may submit valid-format tokens that are already expired, leading to silent enrollment failures.
+
+#### 2. LAPI Connectivity
+**Location:** `backend/internal/crowdsec/console_enroll.go:218-246`
+
+**Current Implementation:**
+```go
+func (s *ConsoleEnrollmentService) checkLAPIAvailable(ctx context.Context) error {
+    maxRetries := 3
+    retryDelay := 2 * time.Second
+
+    for i := 0; i < maxRetries; i++ {
+        args := []string{"lapi", "status"}
+        // ... execute cscli command
+        if err == nil {
+            return nil // LAPI is available
+        }
+        time.Sleep(retryDelay)
+    }
+
+    return fmt.Errorf("CrowdSec Local API is not running after %d attempts", maxRetries)
+}
+```
+
+**Issues:**
+- Only 3 retries with 2-second delays (6 seconds total)
+- LAPI initialization can take 10-15 seconds on slow hardware
+- No exponential backoff (fixed 2s delay)
+- Timeout per attempt is 3 seconds (may be insufficient for cold start)
+- No check for LAPI process vs LAPI readiness
+
+**Impact:** LAPI may still be initializing when enrollment check fails, causing false negatives.
+
+#### 3. Network Configuration
+**Location:** `.docker/docker-entrypoint.sh:212-219`, `docker-compose.yml:47-49`
+
+**Current Implementation:**
+```yaml
+services:
+  charon:
+    image: wikid82/charon:latest
+    container_name: charon
+    ports:
+      - "80:80"
+      - "443:443"
+      - "8080:8080"
+    # LAPI port 8085 NOT exposed by default
+```
+
+**Issues:**
+- LAPI listens on `127.0.0.1:8085` (localhost only)
+- No port mapping for LAPI (intentional for security)
+- Console heartbeats must originate from within container
+- Network mode defaults to bridge (may block outbound HTTPS to crowdsec.net)
+- No explicit DNS resolution configuration
+
+**Impact:** Enrollment may succeed locally but heartbeats fail due to network restrictions.
+
+#### 4. CAPI Registration
+**Location:** `backend/internal/crowdsec/console_enroll.go:248-267`
+
+**Current Implementation:**
+```go
+func (s *ConsoleEnrollmentService) ensureCAPIRegistered(ctx context.Context) error {
+    credsPath := filepath.Join(s.dataDir, "config", "online_api_credentials.yaml")
+    if _, err := os.Stat(credsPath); err == nil {
+        return nil // Assume registered if file exists
+    }
+
+    // Register with CAPI
+    args := []string{"capi", "register"}
+    out, err := s.exec.ExecuteWithEnv(ctx, "cscli", args, nil)
+    if err != nil {
+        return fmt.Errorf("capi register: %s: %w", string(out), err)
+    }
+    return nil
+}
+```
+
+**Issues:**
+- Only checks file existence, not validity
+- No validation of credentials format
+- No retry logic for CAPI registration failures
+- No check for CAPI connectivity before registration
+- Credentials may be corrupt or revoked
+
+**Impact:** CAPI registration failures block console enrollment but error is generic.
+
+#### 5. Config File Management
+**Location:** `.docker/docker-entrypoint.sh:117-156`
+
+**Current Implementation:**
+```bash
+# Initialize CrowdSec configuration
+if [ ! -f "$CS_CONFIG_DIR/config.yaml" ]; then
+    echo "Initializing persistent CrowdSec configuration..."
+    if [ -d "/etc/crowdsec.dist" ]; then
+        cp -r /etc/crowdsec.dist/* "$CS_CONFIG_DIR/"
+    fi
+fi
+
+# Configure LAPI port
+sed -i 's|listen_uri: 127.0.0.1:8080|listen_uri: 127.0.0.1:8085|g' /etc/crowdsec/config.yaml
+```
+
+**Issues:**
+- Config only initialized on first run (not validated on restarts)
+- Port replacement uses `sed` (brittle if config format changes)
+- No validation of `config.yaml` syntax
+- No validation of `acquis.yaml` (required for datasources)
+- `online_api_credentials.yaml` assumed valid if present
+
+**Impact:** Config corruption after first run is not detected until CrowdSec fails to start.
+
+#### 6. Enrollment Status Management
+**Location:** `backend/internal/models/crowdsec_console_enrollment.go:7-21`
+
+**Current Implementation:**
+```go
+type CrowdsecConsoleEnrollment struct {
+    UUID               string     `json:"uuid"`
+    Status             string     `json:"status"` // not_enrolled, enrolling, pending_acceptance, enrolled, failed
+    Tenant             string     `json:"tenant"`
+    AgentName          string     `json:"agent_name"`
+    EncryptedEnrollKey string     `json:"-"`
+    LastError          string     `json:"last_error"`
+    LastAttemptAt      *time.Time `json:"last_attempt_at"`
+    EnrolledAt         *time.Time `json:"enrolled_at"`
+    LastHeartbeatAt    *time.Time `json:"last_heartbeat_at"` // NOT USED
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+**Issues:**
+- `LastHeartbeatAt` field exists but is never updated
+- No automatic polling of console status
+- Status is set to `pending_acceptance` after local enrollment
+- No mechanism to detect when user accepts enrollment on crowdsec.net
+- No mechanism to detect when engine goes offline
+- Status remains `pending_acceptance` indefinitely unless user manually checks
+
+**Impact:** Database shows "pending" but user has already accepted on console (status never updates).
+
+#### 7. Health Check Limitations
+**Location:** `backend/internal/api/handlers/crowdsec_handler.go:327-367`
+
+**Current Implementation:**
+```go
+func (h *CrowdsecHandler) Status(c *gin.Context) {
+    running, pid, err := h.Executor.Status(ctx, h.DataDir)
+    lapiReady := false
+    if running {
+        args := []string{"lapi", "status"}
+        _, checkErr := h.CmdExec.Execute(checkCtx, "cscli", args...)
+        lapiReady = (checkErr == nil)
+    }
+    c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{
+        "running": running,
+        "pid": pid,
+        "lapi_ready": lapiReady,
+    })
+}
+```
+
+**Issues:**
+- Only checks if LAPI responds to `cscli lapi status`
+- Does not check if LAPI can reach crowdsec.net
+- Does not verify CAPI credentials are valid
+- Does not check if console enrollment is active
+- No check for heartbeat status
+
+**Impact:** Status endpoint shows "running" but doesn't detect console connectivity issues.

+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Phase 1: Unit Tests for Enrollment Logic
+
+**Objective:** Validate enrollment service behavior in isolation
+
+**Test File:** `backend/internal/crowdsec/console_enroll_test.go` (NEW)
+
+**Test Cases:**
+
+#### 1.1 Token Validation
+```go

+            }
+        })
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### 1.2 LAPI Availability Check with Retries
+```go
+func TestConsoleEnrollmentService_CheckLAPIAvailable(t *testing.T) {
+    tests := []struct {
+        name          string

+            }
+        })
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### 1.3 CAPI Registration
+```go
+func TestConsoleEnrollmentService_EnsureCAPIRegistered(t *testing.T) {
+    tests := []struct {
+        name          string
+        credsExist    bool
+        registerErr   error
+        wantErr       bool

+            // Test CAPI registration logic
+        })
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### 1.4 Enrollment Status Transitions
+```go
+func TestConsoleEnrollmentService_StatusTransitions(t *testing.T) {
+    // Test: not_enrolled → enrolling → pending_acceptance
+    // Test: pending_acceptance → enrolled (manual transition)
+    // Test: enrolling → failed (on error)
+    // Test: failed → enrolling (retry)
+}
+```
+
+#### 1.5 Concurrent Enrollment Prevention
+```go
+func TestConsoleEnrollmentService_ConcurrentEnrollment(t *testing.T) {
+    // Test: Multiple simultaneous enrollment attempts should be blocked
+    // Test: Mutex prevents race conditions
+}
+```
+
+#### 1.6 Token Encryption/Decryption
+```go
+func TestConsoleEnrollmentService_TokenEncryption(t *testing.T) {
+    // Test: Token is encrypted before storage
+    // Test: Decryption works correctly
+    // Test: Encryption key derivation
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Integration Tests for LAPI Connectivity
+
+**Objective:** Verify LAPI health checks and connectivity in real environment
+
+**Test File:** `backend/integration/crowdsec_lapi_integration_test.go` (NEW)
+
+**Test Cases:**
+
+#### 2.1 LAPI Startup and Health
+```go
+//go:build integration
+func TestCrowdSecLAPIStartup(t *testing.T) {
+    // 1. Start CrowdSec via API: POST /api/v1/admin/crowdsec/start
+    // 2. Wait for LAPI to initialize (up to 30s)
+    // 3. Verify: GET /api/v1/admin/crowdsec/status returns lapi_ready: true
+    // 4. Verify: docker exec cscli lapi status returns 0
+    // 5. Verify: LAPI health endpoint responds: curl http://localhost:8085/health
+}
+```
+
+#### 2.2 LAPI Readiness After Restart
+```go
+//go:build integration
+func TestCrowdSecLAPIRestartPersistence(t *testing.T) {
+    // 1. Enroll CrowdSec
+    // 2. Stop CrowdSec
+    // 3. Restart container
+    // 4. Verify LAPI comes back online
+    // 5. Verify enrollment status persists
+}
+```
+
+#### 2.3 LAPI Port Configuration
+```go
+//go:build integration
+func TestCrowdSecLAPIPortConfiguration(t *testing.T) {
+    // 1. Verify LAPI listens on 8085 (not 8080)
+    // 2. Verify Charon can reach LAPI at 127.0.0.1:8085
+    // 3. Verify LAPI is NOT exposed to host
+}
+```
+
+#### 2.4 CAPI Connectivity
+```go
+//go:build integration
+func TestCrowdSecCAPIConnectivity(t *testing.T) {
+    // 1. Verify CAPI can be reached from container
+    // 2. Verify CAPI registration succeeds
+    // 3. Verify online_api_credentials.yaml is created
+    // 4. Verify credentials are valid (cscli capi status)
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 3: E2E Tests for Console Enrollment
+
+**Objective:** Verify complete enrollment flow from UI
+
+**Test File:** `tests/security/crowdsec-console-enrollment.spec.ts` (NEW)
+
+**Test Cases:**
+
+#### 3.1 Enrollment Flow (Happy Path)
+```typescript
+test('should complete console enrollment successfully', async ({ page, request }) => {
+  // Prerequisite: Ensure CrowdSec is enabled
+  await enableCrowdSec(request);
+
+  // Step 1: Navigate to CrowdSec configuration
+  await page.goto('/security/crowdsec');
+  await waitForLoadingComplete(page);
+
+  // Step 2: Verify console enrollment section is visible
+  const enrollmentSection = page.getByTestId('console-enrollment-section');
+  await expect(enrollmentSection).toBeVisible();
+
+  // Step 3: Enter enrollment token
+  const tokenInput = page.getByTestId('enrollment-token-input');
+  await tokenInput.fill(process.env.TEST_CROWDSEC_ENROLLMENT_TOKEN || 'test-token-123');
+
+  // Step 4: Enter agent name
+  const agentNameInput = page.getByTestId('agent-name-input');
+  await agentNameInput.fill('test-agent-e2e');
+
+  // Step 5: Submit enrollment
+  const enrollButton = page.getByRole('button', { name: /enroll/i });
+  await enrollButton.click();
+
+  // Step 6: Wait for enrollment request to complete
+  const enrollResponse = await page.waitForResponse(
+    resp => resp.url().includes('/api/v1/admin/crowdsec/console/enrollment') && resp.request().method() === 'POST'
+  );
+  expect(enrollResponse.ok()).toBeTruthy();
+
+  // Step 7: Verify status changes to pending_acceptance
+  await expect(page.getByText(/pending acceptance/i)).toBeVisible({ timeout: 10000 });
+
+  // Step 8: Verify enrollment record was created
+  const statusResponse = await request.get('/api/v1/admin/crowdsec/console/enrollment');
+  expect(statusResponse.ok()).toBeTruthy();
+  const status = await statusResponse.json();
+  expect(status.status).toBe('pending_acceptance');
+  expect(status.agent_name).toBe('test-agent-e2e');
+});
+```
+
+#### 3.2 Enrollment Validation Errors
+```typescript
+test('should show validation errors for invalid enrollment data', async ({ page }) => {
+  await page.goto('/security/crowdsec');
+
+  // Test: Empty token
+  await page.getByRole('button', { name: /enroll/i }).click();
+  await expect(page.getByText(/enrollment.*required/i)).toBeVisible();
+
+  // Test: Invalid token format
+  await page.getByTestId('enrollment-token-input').fill('invalid@token!');
+  await page.getByRole('button', { name: /enroll/i }).click();
+  await expect(page.getByText(/invalid.*enrollment/i)).toBeVisible();
+
+  // Test: Empty agent name
+  await page.getByTestId('enrollment-token-input').fill('validtoken123');
+  await page.getByRole('button', { name: /enroll/i }).click();
+  await expect(page.getByText(/agent.*required/i)).toBeVisible();
+});
+```
+
+#### 3.3 Enrollment When LAPI Not Running
+```typescript
+test('should show error when LAPI is not running', async ({ page, request }) => {
+  // Prerequisite: Stop CrowdSec
+  await request.post('/api/v1/admin/crowdsec/stop');
+  await page.waitForTimeout(2000);
+
+  // Attempt enrollment
+  await page.goto('/security/crowdsec');
+  const tokenInput = page.getByTestId('enrollment-token-input');
+  await tokenInput.fill('validtoken123');
+  await page.getByRole('button', { name: /enroll/i }).click();

+
+#### 3.4 Re-enrollment (Force)
+```typescript
+test('should allow re-enrollment with force flag', async ({ page, request }) => {
+  // Prerequisite: Complete initial enrollment
+  // ... (same as happy path)
+
+  // Attempt enrollment again (should fail without force)

+  // Test: Not enrolled
+  await page.goto('/security/crowdsec');
+  await expect(page.getByText(/not enrolled/i)).toBeVisible();

+  // (Mock enrolled state)
+  await expect(page.getByText(/enrolled/i)).toBeVisible();
+  await expect(page.getByTestId('enrollment-success-badge')).toBeVisible();
+});
+```
+
+#### 3.6 Clear Enrollment State
+```typescript
+test('should clear enrollment state to allow fresh enrollment', async ({ page, request }) => {
+  // Prerequisite: Complete enrollment
+  // ...
+
+  // Click "Clear Enrollment" button
+  const clearButton = page.getByRole('button', { name: /clear.*enrollment/i });

+  );
+  expect(deleteResponse.ok()).toBeTruthy();
+
+  // Verify status resets to not_enrolled
+  await expect(page.getByText(/not enrolled/i)).toBeVisible();

+
+### Phase 4: E2E Tests for Console Status Monitoring
+
+**Objective:** Verify console connectivity monitoring and heartbeat tracking
+
+**Test File:** `tests/security/crowdsec-console-monitoring.spec.ts` (NEW)
+
+**Test Cases:**
+
+#### 4.1 Console Status Endpoint
+```typescript
+test('should fetch console enrollment status', async ({ request }) => {
+  const response = await request.get('/api/v1/admin/crowdsec/console/enrollment');
+  expect(response.ok()).toBeTruthy();
+
+  const status = await response.json();

+});
+```
+
+#### 4.2 Heartbeat Tracking (Future Enhancement)
+```typescript
+test.skip('should track console heartbeats', async ({ request }) => {
+  // NOTE: This test is skipped because LastHeartbeatAt is not currently implemented
+  // Once implemented, this test should:
+  // 1. Enroll with console
+  // 2. Wait for heartbeat to be sent (typically every 10s)
+  // 3. Verify last_heartbeat_at is updated in database
+  // 4. Verify status endpoint returns heartbeat timestamp
+});
+```
+
+### Phase 5: Diagnostic and Monitoring Tests
+
+**Objective:** Verify diagnostic endpoints and log collection
+
+**Test File:** `tests/security/crowdsec-diagnostics.spec.ts` (NEW)
+
+**Test Cases:**
+
+#### 5.1 Config File Validation

+
+#### 5.2 LAPI Health Endpoint
+```typescript
+test('should verify LAPI health endpoint responds', async ({ request }) => {
+  // Prerequisite: Ensure CrowdSec is running
+  await enableCrowdSec(request);
+  await waitForLAPIReady(request, 30000);

+```
+
+**Route:** `GET /api/v1/admin/crowdsec/diagnostics/connectivity`
+
+#### 1.2 Add Config Validation Endpoint
+**File:** `backend/internal/api/handlers/crowdsec_handler.go`
+

+
+    c.JSON(http.StatusOK, validation)
+}
+```
+
+**Route:** `GET /api/v1/admin/crowdsec/diagnostics/config`
+
+#### 1.3 Add Heartbeat Status Endpoint (Future)
+**File:** `backend/internal/api/handlers/crowdsec_handler.go`
+
+```go
+// GetHeartbeatStatus returns console heartbeat status
+// NOTE: This is a placeholder for future implementation
+// Currently, LastHeartbeatAt is not tracked in the database
+func (h *CrowdsecHandler) GetHeartbeatStatus(c *gin.Context) {
+    if h.Console == nil {

+    })
+}
+```
+
+**Route:** `GET /api/v1/admin/crowdsec/console/heartbeat`
+
+### Phase 2: Enhanced Enrollment Validation (Week 2)
+
+**Goal:** Improve enrollment validation and error messaging
+
+#### 2.1 Increase LAPI Check Retries
+**File:** `backend/internal/crowdsec/console_enroll.go`
+
+**Change:**
+```go
+// Before:
+maxRetries := 3
+retryDelay := 2 * time.Second
+
+// After:
+maxRetries := 5 // Increased from 3
+retryDelay := 3 * time.Second // Increased from 2s
+// Add exponential backoff
+for i := 0; i < maxRetries; i++ {
+    // ... existing code ...
+    if i < maxRetries-1 {
+        // Exponential backoff: 3s, 6s, 12s, 24s
+        delay := time.Duration(retryDelay.Seconds() * math.Pow(2, float64(i))) * time.Second
+        time.Sleep(delay)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### 2.2 Add Token Expiry Detection
+**File:** `backend/internal/crowdsec/console_enroll.go`
+
+**Add new function:**
+```go
+// checkTokenExpiry attempts to detect if enrollment token is expired
+// Returns true if token appears expired, false otherwise
+func (s *ConsoleEnrollmentService) checkTokenExpiry(token string) (bool, error) {
+    // Tokens from crowdsec.net have a limited lifetime (typically 24-48 hours)
+    // We can't validate this client-side without calling the API
+    // Best we can do is check the error message from cscli
+
+    // For now, this is a placeholder
+    // Future: Could call crowdsec.net API to validate token before enrollment
+    return false, nil
+}
+```
+
+#### 2.3 Improve Error Messages
+**File:** `backend/internal/crowdsec/console_enroll.go`
+
+**Enhance `extractCscliErrorMessage`:**
+```go
+func extractCscliErrorMessage(output string) string {
+    output = strings.TrimSpace(output)
+    if output == "" {
+        return ""
+    }
+
+    // Check for specific error patterns
+    errorPatterns := map[string]string{
+        "token is expired":           "Enrollment token has expired. Please generate a new token from crowdsec.net",
+        "token is invalid":           "Enrollment token is invalid. Please verify the token from crowdsec.net",
+        "agent is already enrolled":  "Agent is already enrolled. Use force=true to re-enroll",
+        "LAPI is not reachable":      "Cannot reach Local API. Ensure CrowdSec is running",
+        "CAPI is not reachable":      "Cannot reach Central API. Check network connectivity",
+    }
+
+    for pattern, message := range errorPatterns {
+        if strings.Contains(strings.ToLower(output), pattern) {
+            return message
+        }
+    }
+
+    // Fall back to existing extraction logic
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Heartbeat Monitoring Implementation (Week 3)
+
+**Goal:** Implement console heartbeat tracking and status polling
+
+#### 3.1 Add Heartbeat Polling Service
+**File:** `backend/internal/crowdsec/heartbeat_poller.go` (NEW)

+```
+
+#### 3.2 Integrate Heartbeat Poller in Main
+**File:** `backend/cmd/api/main.go`
+
+```go
+// Initialize heartbeat poller
+if consoleEnrollmentEnabled {
+    heartbeatPoller := crowdsec.NewHeartbeatPoller(db, &crowdsec.SecureCommandExecutor{}, crowdsecDataDir)
+    heartbeatPoller.Start()
+    defer heartbeatPoller.Stop()
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 4: Enhanced Logging and Monitoring (Week 3-4)
+
+**Goal:** Improve observability for troubleshooting
+
+#### 4.1 Add Structured Logging for Enrollment
+**File:** `backend/internal/crowdsec/console_enroll.go`
+
+**Enhance logging throughout enrollment process:**
+```go
+// Log at each critical step
+logger.Log().WithFields(map[string]any{

+
+### Phase 5: Documentation and User Guidance (Week 4)
+
+**Goal:** Provide clear troubleshooting documentation for users
+
+#### 5.1 Update Cerberus Documentation
+**File:** `docs/cerberus.md`
+
+**Add new section:**
+```markdown
+### Troubleshooting Console Enrollment
+
+#### Symptom: Enrollment shows "pending_acceptance" but I already accepted on crowdsec.net
+
+**Cause:** Status polling not implemented (manual refresh required)
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Refresh the Charon UI page
+2. Check `/api/v1/admin/crowdsec/console/enrollment` endpoint
+3. If still pending, check `cscli console status` inside container:
+   ```bash
+   docker exec charon cscli console status
+   ```
+
+#### Symptom: "Local API is not running after X attempts"
+
+**Cause:** LAPI is still initializing or failed to start
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Check CrowdSec process:
+   ```bash
+   docker exec charon ps aux | grep crowdsec
+   ```
+2. Check LAPI logs:
+   ```bash
+   docker exec charon tail -100 /var/log/crowdsec/crowdsec.log
+   ```
+3. Verify LAPI config:
+   ```bash
+   docker exec charon grep listen_uri /etc/crowdsec/config.yaml
+   ```
+4. Test LAPI manually:
+   ```bash
+   docker exec charon cscli lapi status
+   ```
+
+#### Symptom: Enrollment fails with "CAPI is not reachable"
+
+**Cause:** Network connectivity issue or CAPI credentials invalid
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Test connectivity to crowdsec.net:
+   ```bash
+   docker exec charon curl -I https://api.crowdsec.net/health
+   ```
+2. Check CAPI credentials:
+   ```bash
+   docker exec charon test -f /etc/crowdsec/config/online_api_credentials.yaml
+   ```
+3. Re-register with CAPI:
+   ```bash
+   docker exec charon cscli capi register
+   ```
+
+#### Symptom: Engine shows offline in console despite successful enrollment
+
+**Possible Causes:**
+1. Heartbeats not being sent
+2. Network/firewall blocking outbound HTTPS
+3. Token expired or revoked
+4. LAPI process crashed after enrollment
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Verify LAPI is running:
+   ```bash
+   docker exec charon ps aux | grep crowdsec
+   ```
+2. Check console status:
+   ```bash
+   docker exec charon cscli console status
+   ```
+3. Check CrowdSec logs for heartbeat errors:
+   ```bash
+   docker exec charon tail -100 /var/log/crowdsec/crowdsec.log | grep -i heartbeat
+   ```
+4. Test outbound HTTPS:
+   ```bash
+   docker exec charon curl -v https://api.crowdsec.net/health
+   ```
+5. Check crowdsec.net console for agent last seen timestamp
+```
+
+#### 5.2 Add Diagnostic Script
+**File:** `scripts/diagnose-crowdsec.sh` (NEW)
+
+```bash

+
+## Risk Mitigation
+
+### Risk 1: LAPI Initialization Timing
+**Mitigation:**
+- Increase retry attempts from 3 to 5
+- Implement exponential backoff (3s, 6s, 12s, 24s)
+- Add detailed logging for each retry attempt
+- Document expected initialization time (10-15s on slow hardware)
+
+### Risk 2: Network Connectivity Variability
+**Mitigation:**
+- Add explicit connectivity checks before enrollment
+- Test against both api.crowdsec.net and main crowdsec.net domains
+- Document firewall/proxy requirements clearly
+- Provide fallback diagnostic commands
+
+### Risk 3: Token Expiry Edge Cases
+**Mitigation:**
+- Improve error message extraction to detect expiry
+- Document token lifetime (24-48 hours)
+- Add warning in UI when token is >24 hours old
+- Provide clear instructions to regenerate token
+
+### Risk 4: Database State Corruption
+**Mitigation:**
+- Add validation for enrollment state transitions
+- Implement database migration to ensure schema consistency
+- Add repair mechanism for corrupted enrollment records
+- Document manual DB cleanup procedures
+
+### Risk 5: Test Flakiness
+**Mitigation:**
+- Use deterministic wait strategies (not arbitrary sleeps)
+- Implement retry logic for network-dependent tests
+- Mock external dependencies where possible
+- Run tests in isolated containers to prevent interference
+
+---
+
+## Monitoring and Alerting
+
+### Metrics to Track
+1. **Enrollment Success Rate:** `charon_crowdsec_enrollment_attempts_total{status="success"}`
+2. **Enrollment Failure Rate:** `charon_crowdsec_enrollment_attempts_total{status="failed"}`
+3. **LAPI Health:** `charon_crowdsec_lapi_healthy` (1 = healthy, 0 = unhealthy)
+4. **Heartbeat Latency:** `charon_crowdsec_heartbeat_latency_seconds`
+5. **Enrollment Duration:** `charon_crowdsec_enrollment_duration_seconds`
+
+### Alerts to Create
+1. **LAPI Down:** Alert if `charon_crowdsec_lapi_healthy == 0` for >5 minutes
+2. **Enrollment Failures:** Alert if enrollment failure rate >20% over 1 hour
+3. **Heartbeat Timeout:** Alert if no heartbeat received for >10 minutes (when enrolled)
+4. **Console Offline:** Alert if engine shows offline in console for >30 minutes
+
+### Log Queries
+```bash
+# Enrollment attempts in last hour
+grep "crowdsec console enrollment" /var/log/charon.log | tail -100
+
+# LAPI health check failures
+grep "LAPI check" /var/log/charon.log | grep -i error
+
+# Heartbeat status
+grep "heartbeat" /var/log/crowdsec/crowdsec.log | tail -50
+```

+### CrowdSec-Specific Tests
+
+The new CrowdSec console enrollment tests were executed:
+
+#### ✅ Passing Tests (crowdsec-console-enrollment.spec.ts)
+
+- `should fetch console enrollment status via API`
+- `should fetch diagnostics connectivity status`
+- `should fetch diagnostics config validation`
+- `should fetch heartbeat status`
+- `should display console enrollment section in UI when feature is enabled`
+- `should display enrollment status correctly`
+- `should show enroll button when not enrolled`
+- `should show agent name field when enrolling`
+- `should validate enrollment token format`
+- `should persist enrollment status across page reloads`
+
+#### ✅ Passing Tests (crowdsec-diagnostics.spec.ts)
+
+- `should validate CrowdSec configuration files via API`
+- `should report config.yaml exists when CrowdSec is initialized`
+- `should report LAPI port configuration`
+- `should check connectivity to CrowdSec services`
+- `should report LAPI status accurately`
+- `should check CAPI registration status`
+- `should optionally report console reachability`
+- `should export CrowdSec configuration`
+- `should include filename with timestamp in export`
+- `should list CrowdSec configuration files`
+- `should display CrowdSec status indicators`
+- `should display LAPI ready status when CrowdSec is running`
+- `should handle CrowdSec not running gracefully`
+- `should report errors in diagnostics config validation`
+
+### ❌ Failed Tests
+
+#### 1. CrowdSec Diagnostics - Configuration Files API
+
+**File:** [crowdsec-diagnostics.spec.ts](../../tests/security/crowdsec-diagnostics.spec.ts#L320)
+**Test:** `should retrieve specific config file content`
+
+**Error:**
+
+```text
+Error: expect(received).toHaveProperty(path)
+Expected path: "content"
+Received value: {"files": [...]}
+```
+
+**Root Cause:** API endpoint `/api/v1/admin/crowdsec/files?path=...` is returning the file list instead of file content when a `path` query parameter is provided.
+
+**Remediation:**
+
+1. Update backend to return `{content: string}` when `path` query param is present
+2. OR update test to use a separate endpoint for file content retrieval
+
+**Severity:** Low - Feature not commonly used (config file inspection)
+
+---
+
+#### 2. Break Glass Recovery - Admin Whitelist Verification
+
+**File:** [zzzz-break-glass-recovery.spec.ts](../../tests/security-enforcement/zzzz-break-glass-recovery.spec.ts#L177)
+**Test:** `Step 4: Verify full security stack is enabled with universal bypass › Verify admin whitelist is set to 0.0.0.0/0`
+
+**Error:**
+
+```text
+Error: expect(received).toBe(expected)
+Expected: "0.0.0.0/0"
+Received: undefined
+```
+
+**Root Cause:** The `admin_whitelist` field is not present in the API response when using universal bypass mode.
+
+**Remediation:**
+
+1. Update backend to include `admin_whitelist` field in security settings response
+2. OR update test to check for the bypass mode differently
+
+**Severity:** Low - Test verifies edge case (universal bypass mode)
+
+---
+
+### ✅ WAF Settings Handler Fix Verified
+
+The **WAF module enable failure** (previously P0) has been **FIXED**:
+- `PATCH /api/v1/security/waf` endpoint now working
+- Break Glass Recovery Step 3 (Enable WAF module) now passes
+- WAF settings can be toggled successfully in E2E tests
+
+---
+
+### ⏭️ Skipped Tests (24)
+
+Tests skipped due to:
+
+1. **CrowdSec not running** - Many tests require active CrowdSec process
+2. **Middleware enforcement** - Rate limiting and WAF blocking are tested in integration tests
+3. **LAPI dependency** - Console enrollment requires running LAPI

+## 6. Security Scan Results
+
+### Trivy Filesystem Scan
+
+| Target | Vulnerabilities |
+|--------|-----------------|
+| `package-lock.json` | 0 |
+
+**Status:** ✅ No HIGH/CRITICAL vulnerabilities in codebase
+
+### Trivy Docker Image Scan
+
+| Target | HIGH | CRITICAL |
+|--------|------|----------|
+| `charon:local` (debian 13.3) | 2 | 0 |
+| Go binaries (charon, caddy, crowdsec) | 0 | 0 |
+
+**Details:**
+
+| Library | CVE | Severity | Status |
+|---------|-----|----------|--------|
+| libc-bin | CVE-2026-0861 | HIGH | Unpatched in base image |
+| libc6 | CVE-2026-0861 | HIGH | Unpatched in base image |
+
+**Finding:** glibc integer overflow vulnerability in Debian Trixie base image. This is an upstream issue awaiting a Debian security patch.
+
+**Remediation:**
+
+1. Monitor Debian security updates for glibc patch
+2. Consider using Alpine-based image as alternative (trade-off: musl vs glibc)
+3. No immediate code-level remediation available
+
+**Risk Assessment:** LOW for Charon use case - exploitation requires specific heap allocation patterns unlikely in web proxy context.
+
+### CodeQL Static Analysis
+
+| Language | Findings |
+|----------|----------|
+| Go | 0 |
+| JavaScript | 0 |
+
+**Status:** ✅ No security vulnerabilities detected
+
+---
+
+## 7. Issues Requiring Remediation
+
+### Critical (Block Merge)
+
+None
+
+### High Priority (FIXED ✅)
+
+1. ~~**WAF Module Enable Failure**~~ ✅ **FIXED**
+   - Added `PATCH /api/v1/security/waf` endpoint
+   - Break Glass Recovery Step 3 now passes
+
+2. ~~**Backend Coverage Gap**~~ ✅ **FIXED**
+   - Current: 85.3%
+   - Target: 85%
+   - Status: Threshold met
+
+### Medium Priority (Fix in Next Sprint)
+
+1. **CrowdSec Files API Design**
+   - Issue: Single endpoint for list vs content retrieval
+   - Action: Split into `/files` (list) and `/files/:path` (content)
+
+2. **Admin Whitelist Response Field**
+   - Issue: `admin_whitelist` field not in API response for universal bypass
+   - Action: Include field in security settings response
+
+### Low Priority (Technical Debt)
+
+1. **Base Image glibc Vulnerability**
+   - Monitor Debian security updates
+   - No immediate action required
+

+| CodeQL SARIF (JS) | `codeql-results-javascript.sarif` |
+
+---
+
+## 9. Recommendations
+
+### For Merge
+
+1. ✅ WAF module enable failure **FIXED**
+2. ✅ Backend unit tests reach 85% coverage **FIXED**
+3. ⚠️ 2 remaining E2E failures are **LOW severity** (edge case tests)
+   - CrowdSec config file content retrieval (feature gap)
+   - Admin whitelist verification in universal bypass (test assertion issue)
+
+### For Follow-up
+
+1. Split CrowdSec files API endpoints
+2. Add `admin_whitelist` field to security settings response
+3. Monitor glibc vulnerability patch
+
+---
+
+## 10. Approval Status
+
+| Reviewer | Verdict | Notes |
+|----------|---------|-------|
+| QA Automation | ✅ **PASS** | WAF fix verified, coverage threshold met |
+
+**Final Verdict:** The CrowdSec console enrollment implementation is **ready for merge**:
+
+1. ✅ WAF settings handler fix verified
+2. ✅ Backend coverage at 85.3% (threshold: 85%)
+3. ✅ All 27 backend packages pass
+4. ✅ Pre-commit hooks all pass
+5. ⚠️ 2 LOW severity E2E test failures (edge cases, non-blocking)
+
+---
+
+## Validation Summary (2026-02-03)
+
+### What Was Fixed
+
+1. **WAF settings handler** - Added `PATCH /api/v1/security/waf` endpoint
+2. **Backend coverage** - Increased from 83.6% to 85.3%
+
+### Validation Results

-| CodeQL Scan | ✅ PASS | 0 errors, 0 warnings |
+| Backend Tests | ✅ PASS | 27/27 packages pass (with race detection) |
+| E2E Tests | ⚠️ PARTIAL | 167 passed, 2 failed, 24 skipped (87% pass rate) |
+| Pre-commit | ✅ PASS | All 13 hooks pass |
+
+### Remaining Issues (Non-Blocking)
+
+| Test | Issue | Severity |
+|------|-------|----------|
+| CrowdSec config file content | API returns file list instead of content | Low |
+| Admin whitelist verification | `admin_whitelist` field undefined in response | Low |
+
+### Verdict
+
+**PASS** - Core functionality verified. Remaining 2 test failures are edge cases that do not block release.
