# 2025-11-09 — Authority LDAP Plug-in Readiness (PLG7.IMPL-005)

## Summary
- Added a dedicated LDAP quick-reference section to the Authority plug-in developer guide covering mutual TLS requirements, DN→role regex mappings, Mongo-backed claim caching, and the client-provisioning audit mirror.
- Refreshed the sample manifest at `etc/authority.plugins/ldap.yaml` so operators see cache-enabled defaults, placeholder usage for regex mappings, and audit-mirror notes that match the implementation.
- Documented that Offline Kits now ship the LDAP plug-in binaries plus the curated manifest, enabling air-gapped installs to drop the assets directly into `plugins/authority/**`.
- Logged the shipment in release notes so Security/Docs guilds can reference the change and testers can align their smoke runs.

## Impact
- Documentation now tells operators exactly how to enable mutual TLS, configure regex mappings, and size caches/audit mirrors before turning the plug-in on.
- Offline Kit consumers understand that LDAP plug-in artefacts are part of the bundle and no longer have to copy manifests manually across environments.
- Sprint 100 tracker reflects PLG7.IMPL-005 as DONE, unblocking Authority/Docs sign-off for the LDAP plug-in workstream.
