Description

Change Description

We should prevent operators from deleting the last working TLS certificate. Currently, we continue to serve expired certificates to prevent locking operators out. However, they are able to delete that certificate before creating a new one. This block them from creating a new certificate and require Oxide intervention to "un-delete" the certificate in CRDB to allow them to create the new certificate.

Expected Behavior

Operators are not able to delete the last certificate.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by tracing the certificate deletion API and the existing handling of the last working certificate; done means deletion is rejected when it would remove the final certificate, with coverage for the expected behavior.
