  • Commit Message: fix(ci): resolve TLS handshake failure preventing repository clone in agent execution environment
  • Milestone: v3.7.0
  • Parent Epic: #376

Description

The ca-test-infra-improver agent is unable to clone the cleveragents/cleveragents-core repository, which is a critical first step for any code analysis. This failure blocks all automated test infrastructure improvement tasks.

Error Details

The agent consistently encounters the following error during the git clone operation:

fatal: unable to access 'https://git.cleveragents.com/cleveragents/cleveragents-core.git/': gnutls_handshake() failed: The server name sent was not recognized

Troubleshooting Steps Taken

The agent attempted the following workarounds, all of which failed with the same error:

  1. Standard Clone:
    git clone https://<PAT>@git.cleveragents.com/cleveragents/cleveragents-core.git
    
  2. Clone with SSL Verification Disabled:
    git -c http.sslVerify=false clone https://<PAT>@git.cleveragents.com/cleveragents/cleveragents-core.git
    
  3. Clone using IP Address and Host Header:
    • Resolved git.cleveragents.com to 13.248.169.48.
    • Attempted clone with explicit IP and Host header:
    git -c http.sslVerify=false clone https://<PAT>@13.248.169.48/cleveragents/cleveragents-core.git --config "http.extraHeader=Host: git.cleveragents.com"
    

The persistence of the gnutls_handshake() failure despite these measures suggests a deep-seated issue, potentially related to:

  • The server's TLS/SSL configuration (missing or misconfigured SNI/SAN entries).
  • A network proxy or firewall within the execution environment that is interfering with the TLS handshake.
  • A misconfiguration in the runner's DNS or network settings.

Impact

This is a blocking issue. No automated code analysis or test infrastructure improvement can proceed until the agent can successfully clone the repository.

Subtasks

  • Investigate server-side TLS/SNI configuration for git.cleveragents.com (verify SAN entries and virtual-host routing)
  • Investigate network proxy/firewall configuration in the agent execution environment
  • Verify DNS resolution and routing from the agent execution environment to git.cleveragents.com
  • Identify and document the root cause of the TLS handshake failure
  • Implement the fix (server-side config, network config, or runner environment config as appropriate)
  • Verify that a standard git clone with PAT succeeds from the agent execution environment
  • Run nox (all default sessions), fix any errors
  • Verify coverage >= 97% via nox -s coverage_report

Definition of Done

  • The root cause of the TLS handshake failure is identified and documented.
  • The ca-test-infra-improver agent can successfully clone the cleveragents/cleveragents-core repository without workarounds.
  • A standard git clone command works reliably from the agent's execution environment.
  • No SSL verification bypass flags (http.sslVerify=false, GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY) are required.
  • All nox stages pass.
  • Coverage >= 97%.
