deploy-ha.sh no longer takes a <data-dir> argument or --build-config
flag. Every deploy now generates a fresh self-signed TLS cert/key
(openssl, RSA 2048, 10y validity) directly into the deploy dir's
certs/, and builds cluster.bin directly into controller/ctrl-1/conf/
via xceadmin -- no intermediate staging directory, nothing preserved
across runs. run-ha-soak.sh (/xce-test-ha) updated to match: dropped
its own XCE_HA_DATADIR-based precondition entirely. Updated 4 callers
(run-ha-soak.sh, test-heartbeat-tolerance.sh, test-commit-durability.sh,
both xce-deploy-ha/xce-test-ha SKILL.md docs).
Separately: xcecommon.wire.connect() was loading a client-side TLS
cert, diverging from the real reference client -- netio.c's
create_ssl_context() presents no certificate at all when acting as a
client (cert_file/key_file both NULL, bare TLS_client_method()).
Fixed connect() to match, and since nothing else consumed cert_dir
(verify_mode=CERT_NONE throughout, no CA check either), removed it
end-to-end: discovery.follow_redirects(), push.push_config()/
probe_config(), and the --cert-dir CLI flag.
Server-side cert loading (mock TLS test servers) is unaffected --
moved into a shared session-scoped tls_certs fixture (new
tests/conftest.py, openssl-generated) replacing 3 duplicated
REPO_HA_DATA_DIR/skipif blocks. Net result: those tests no longer skip
under a hermetic nix build sandbox (which never had ha/data/) --
verified 165/165 passed, 0 skipped, via both meson compile and a full
nix build --option sandbox false .#xcecore_debug rebuild (previously
128 passed / 37 skipped there).
ha/data/{xce.crt,xce.key} removed from git tracking. Requirements
2.3/2.4 and 8.3/8.4/8.5 marked superseded in requirements.md with
dated correction notes.
