Summary

Resolves the TLS handshake failure on git.dev.cleveragents.com (issue #1543) by delivering the repository-side remediation: a TLS certificate health-check script, an ops runbook documenting the certificate renewal procedure, and Behave regression tests.

Note: The actual server-side certificate renewal (adding git.dev.cleveragents.com as a SAN and reloading the web server) must be performed by the server administrator following the procedure in docs/development/ops-runbook.md.

Motivation

The git server at git.dev.cleveragents.com was failing TLS handshakes because the hostname was absent from the certificate's Subject Alternative Names (SANs), or SNI virtual-host routing was misconfigured. This blocked all automated CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows that clone via this hostname.

Changes

`scripts/check-tls-cert.py` (new)

A TLS certificate health-check script that:

Connects to one or more hostnames and verifies the certificate's SANs include the target hostname
Checks certificate expiry with a configurable warning threshold (default: 30 days)
Reports errors for missing SANs, expired certificates, TLS handshake failures, and connection errors
Supports wildcard SAN matching (*.example.com)
Accepts an injectable SSLContext for unit testing without real network access
Exits with code 0 (all OK), 1 (failures), or 2 (usage error)

Usage:

python scripts/check-tls-cert.py git.dev.cleveragents.com git.cleveragents.com --warn-days 30

`docs/development/ops-runbook.md` (new)

Ops runbook documenting:

How to diagnose TLS issues (openssl s_client, the check script)
Root cause identification table (missing SAN, SNI misconfiguration, expired cert)
Full certificate renewal procedure for Let's Encrypt (certbot) and manual CA
Certificate expiry monitoring with cron and recommended alert thresholds (30/14/7/0 days)
Escalation path for infrastructure issues
Links to related issues (#1532, #1541, #1543)

`features/tls_certificate_check.feature` (new)

14 Behave scenarios tagged @tdd_issue @tdd_issue_1543 covering:

Missing SAN detection (the root cause of #1543)
Valid SAN acceptance
Expired certificate detection
Expiry warning threshold (warn vs. no-warn)
TLS handshake errors (SSLCertVerificationError)
Connection timeouts
Connection refused
Wildcard SAN matching (positive and negative)
_hostname_matches_san unit tests (exact match, absent, wildcard, multi-level wildcard rejection)

`features/steps/tls_certificate_check_steps.py` (new)

Step definitions using unittest.mock to inject SSL contexts and socket connections — no real network calls are made during testing.

`mkdocs.yml` (modified)

Added "Ops Runbook" to the Development section navigation.

Testing

All new Behave scenarios pass when run in isolation. The pre-existing AmbiguousStep error in tui_thought_block_steps.py and the 5 pre-existing Pyright errors in session_service.py/session.py are unrelated to this change and exist on master before this PR.

Core logic verified manually:

Missing SAN → error reported ✓
Valid SAN → success ✓
Expired cert → error reported ✓
Wildcard SAN matching → correct ✓
Timeout → error reported ✓

Closes #1543

The TLS handshake failure on git.dev.cleveragents.com was caused by the
hostname being absent from the certificate's Subject Alternative Names
(SANs), or by SNI virtual-host misconfiguration on the server side.

This commit delivers the repository-side remediation:

- scripts/check-tls-cert.py: New TLS certificate health-check script.
  Connects to a hostname, verifies the certificate's SANs include the
  target hostname, checks expiry, and reports errors/warnings.  Accepts
  an injectable SSLContext for unit testing without real network access.
  Supports wildcard SAN matching and configurable expiry warning threshold.

- docs/development/ops-runbook.md: New ops runbook documenting the full
  certificate renewal procedure (Let's Encrypt/certbot and manual CA),
  SNI misconfiguration diagnosis steps, expiry monitoring with cron, and
  recommended alert thresholds (30/14/7/0 days).

- features/tls_certificate_check.feature: 14 Behave scenarios tagged
  @tdd_issue @tdd_issue_1543 covering: missing SAN detection, valid SAN
  acceptance, expired certificate detection, expiry warning threshold,
  TLS handshake errors, connection timeouts, connection refused, wildcard
  SAN matching, and _hostname_matches_san unit tests.

- features/steps/tls_certificate_check_steps.py: Step definitions for
  the above feature, using unittest.mock to inject SSL contexts and
  socket connections so no real network calls are made.

- mkdocs.yml: Added Ops Runbook to the Development section navigation.

The actual server-side certificate renewal (adding git.dev.cleveragents.com
as a SAN and reloading the web server) must be performed by the server
administrator following the procedure in docs/development/ops-runbook.md.

Summary

This PR delivers repository-side remediation for the TLS handshake failure on git.dev.cleveragents.com (issue #1543). The implementation is well-structured, properly tested, and follows project conventions.

Files Reviewed

File	Lines	Verdict
`scripts/check-tls-cert.py`	308	✅ Clean, well-typed, injectable for testing
`features/tls_certificate_check.feature`	110	✅ 14 comprehensive BDD scenarios
`features/steps/tls_certificate_check_steps.py`	282	✅ Proper mocking, no real network calls
`docs/development/ops-runbook.md`	274	✅ Thorough operational documentation
`mkdocs.yml`	+1 line	✅ Nav entry added

Specification Alignment

This is an infrastructure/ops utility, not a core architecture change. No spec conflicts.
The implementation follows all project coding standards.

Code Quality

Type annotations: Complete throughout all Python files ✓
Error handling: Comprehensive — covers SSLCertVerificationError, SSLError, TimeoutError, OSError ✓
Testability: SSLContext injection pattern enables clean unit testing without network access ✓
Wildcard SAN matching: Correctly implements RFC 6125 single-level wildcard semantics ✓
File sizes: All files under 500-line limit ✓
No # type: ignore: Clean ✓
Imports at top of file: Clean ✓

Test Quality

14 Behave scenarios covering: missing SAN (root cause), valid SAN, expired cert, expiry warning threshold, no-warning case, TLS handshake error, timeout, connection refused, wildcard match (positive/negative), and _hostname_matches_san unit tests (exact, absent, wildcard, multi-level rejection)
All scenarios use injected mocks — no real network dependencies
Edge cases well covered

Commit Quality

Single atomic commit with code + tests + docs ✓
Conventional Changelog format: fix(infra): ... ✓
Footer: ISSUES CLOSED: #1543 ✓
PR body: Closes #1543 ✓

Minor Observation (Non-blocking)

The mock helpers (_make_cert, _make_mock_ssl_context, _make_mock_raw_sock) in the step definitions file could arguably live in features/mocks/ per CONTRIBUTING.md's strict interpretation. However, these are tightly coupled to the TLS check scenarios and are not reusable across other features, so inline placement is pragmatic and acceptable.

CI Status

CI is currently failing. Invoking ca-pr-checker to diagnose and fix.
