Description

Add config options for:

  • Setting the validity duration of generated certs
  • Lookahead time for the regenerate-when-expiry-is-near trigger

We should put off doing this until more frequent cert rotations are safe WRT availability. The work for doing so is listed in the "Allow Setting Cert Validity Duration" milestone.

Research direction

Review the "Allow Setting Cert Validity Duration" milestone and the certificate-generation flow, focusing on how generated cert validity and the regenerate-when-expiry-is-near trigger are currently handled. Confirm the availability constraints before implementation; done means both config options are defined and safely control those behaviors without making frequent rotations unsafe.
