## Description Behind a corporate TLS-inspection proxy (Zscaler, Netskope) on Python 3.13+, Headroom can't reach the network even with the corporate root correctly installed and trusted. Every path fails with: ``` [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: Basic Constraints of CA cert not marked critical ``` This isn't a missing-CA problem — the cert is found and trusted. Python 3.13 + OpenSSL 3.x enable `VERIFY_X509_STRICT` by default, which enforces RFC 5280 §4.2.1.9 (a CA cert's `basicConstraints` MUST be marked critical). Inspection roots set `CA:TRUE` without the critical bit, so the chain is rejected. Adding the CA to a bundle does nothing — it's the strict check that fails, and the existing README section only covers `unable to get local issuer certificate`. There are two independent sources of the strict flag (both reported in the issue): Python's own `ssl.create_default_context()` (hits the httpx upstream client), and urllib3 ≥ 2.5's `create_urllib3_context()` (hits the `huggingface_hub` model-download path). Closes #1308 ## Type of Change - [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue) - [ ] New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality) - [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change) - [ ] Documentation update - [ ] Performance improvement - [ ] Code refactoring (no functional changes) ## Changes Made - `ssl_context.py`: added `HEADROOM_TLS_STRICT`. `tls_strict_disabled()` reads the toggle (off-values `0/false/no/off`, default strict). `build_httpx_verify()` resolves the httpx `verify=` value: a configured CA bundle wins; otherwise, when the toggle is off, a default-trust-store context with **only** `VERIFY_X509_STRICT` cleared (so a corporate root that lives in the OS store but trips strict mode still validates); otherwise `True` (httpx default). `apply_global_tls_relaxation()` monkeypatches urllib3's `create_urllib3_context` to drop the strict flag — idempotent, guarded, no-op if urllib3 is absent or the toggle is on. - `server.py`: the proxy's httpx upstream client now uses `build_httpx_verify()` instead of `find_ca_bundle()`-or-`True`. - `cli/proxy.py`: calls `apply_global_tls_relaxation()` at module import, before `huggingface_hub`/`requests` import and cache their context. - README: a distinct SSL-inspection subsection for the `Basic Constraints ... not marked critical` failure, separate from `unable to get local issuer certificate`. Documents that the Rust core's ONNX download (`cdn.pyke.io`) uses a separate stack (rustls/OS trust store) unaffected by the toggle — corporate root must be in the Windows **machine** store, or pre-provision via `ORT_STRATEGY=system`. Chain validation, signature, expiry, and hostname checks all stay on — `HEADROOM_TLS_STRICT=0` is strictly narrower than `verify=False`. Default is strict, matching Python's own default. ## Testing - [x] Unit tests pass (`pytest`) - [ ] Linting passes (`ruff check .`) - [ ] Type checking passes (`mypy headroom`) - [x] New tests added for new functionality - [ ] Manual testing performed ### Test Output ```text $ python -m pytest tests/test_ssl_context.py -q 31 passed # 19 existing + 12 new (TestTlsStrictDisabled, TestBuildHttpxVerify, TestApplyGlobalTlsRelaxation). ``` ## Real Behavior Proof - Environment: Windows 11, Python 3.10.11 (OpenSSL build that exposes `VERIFY_X509_STRICT`). - Exact command / steps: exercised the module directly — set/unset `HEADROOM_TLS_STRICT`, inspected the resolved httpx `verify` value and the urllib3 context's `verify_flags`. - Observed result: default → `verify=True` (strict preserved); `HEADROOM_TLS_STRICT=0` → httpx gets an `SSLContext` with `VERIFY_X509_STRICT` cleared but `verify_mode == CERT_REQUIRED` and the full default trust store (cert_store x509_ca > 1); `apply_global_tls_relaxation()` patches `urllib3.util.ssl_.create_urllib3_context` so new contexts have the strict flag cleared, and is idempotent. A configured `SSL_CERT_FILE` still wins over the toggle. - Not tested: an actual handshake through a live Zscaler/Netskope MITM on Python 3.13 — I don't have that environment. The fix targets exactly the flag the issue identifies (`VERIFY_X509_STRICT`) on both reported context builders; I verified the flag manipulation and resolution logic directly rather than simulating the proxy. ## Review Readiness - [x] I have performed a self-review - [x] This PR is ready for human review ## Checklist - [x] My code follows the project's style guidelines - [x] I have performed a self-review of my code - [x] I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas - [x] I have made corresponding changes to the documentation - [x] My changes generate no new warnings - [x] I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works - [x] New and existing unit tests pass locally with my changes - [ ] I have updated the CHANGELOG.md if applicable ## Additional Notes - The toggle is opt-in and defaults to strict, so behavior is unchanged unless a user explicitly sets `HEADROOM_TLS_STRICT=0`. It clears only the strict flag, never disables verification. - The httpx path uses an explicit context (clean, testable); the urllib3 path needs a monkeypatch because `huggingface_hub` → `requests` builds its context internally and never sees ours. - CHANGELOG.md isn't touched — release-please generates it from the `fix(tls):` commit subject. - I scoped this to the two Python TLS stacks the issue calls out and documented (rather than tried to patch) the separate Rust/ONNX path, since that one resolves through the OS trust store and isn't something this Python toggle can reach.

"""Unit tests for headroom.proxy.ssl_context.find_ca_bundle.

|
|
Covers:
|
|
- Returns None when no env var is set
|
|
- Returns an ssl.SSLContext when SSL_CERT_FILE points to a valid PEM file
|
|
- Returns an ssl.SSLContext when REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE points to a valid PEM file
|
|
- Replacement contexts relax OpenSSL VERIFY_X509_STRICT for custom CA bundles
|
|
- Returns an ssl.SSLContext when NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS points to a valid PEM file
|
|
- The NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS SSLContext is additive: default/system roots are preserved (#998)
|
|
- Priority order: SSL_CERT_FILE beats REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE beats NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS
|
|
- Nonexistent paths are skipped (returns None if all paths are missing)
