Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by searching the Go code for ACME renewal or maintenance logging, then reproduce the renewal/maintenance cycle with default settings. Done means the tls.loader.acme entries use a single maintenance segment across update cycles and the relevant tests or reproduction pass.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

bug

Logger path accumulates repeated "maintenance" segments (tls.loader.acme/maintenance/maintenance/...), producing noisy lines when ACME renewals run.

Repro (assume defaults):

Enable ACME in maddy.
Wait for renewal/maintenance cycle.
Observe tls.loader.acme log entries.

Observed:
tls.loader.acme/maintenance/maintenance/...: got renewal info { ... }
tls.loader.acme/maintenance/maintenance/...: updated and stored ACME renewal information { ... }

Expected:
tls.loader.acme/maintenance: got renewal info { ... }
tls.loader.acme/maintenance: updated and stored ACME renewal information { ... }

Sanitized example:
tls.loader.acme/maintenance/maintenance/...: got renewal info {"cert_expiry":"","identifiers":[""],"next_ari_update":"","remote_ip":""}
tls.loader.acme/maintenance/maintenance/...: updated and stored ACME renewal information {"cert_expiry":"","next_update":"","remote_ip":""}

maintenance line grows every update cycle
