Guards the includeChain socket integration test against a Node.js regression: Node 26.8.0 stopped exposing the server-side peer certificate chain via getPeerCertificate(true) (nodejs/node#65579, fix nodejs/node#65602). The test now asserts the chain only when the runtime exposes it, and README plus the troubleshooting guide document the regression and workarounds.

Supersedes #225.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Documented a Node.js 26.8.x regression affecting socket-based certificate-chain extraction.
    • Added troubleshooting guidance, including workarounds such as pinning leaf fingerprints, configuring intermediates, or using an earlier Node.js version.
  • Tests

    • Updated mutual TLS integration checks to accommodate runtimes that do not expose peer certificate chains while preserving leaf-certificate validation.

Walkthrough

The mTLS integration test detects peer-chain availability before checking issuer certificates. The README and troubleshooting guide document the Node.js 26.8.x socket regression, the unaffected header path, and configuration or runtime-version workarounds.

Changes

Peer certificate chain compatibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime-adaptive mTLS assertions
test/test-integration-mtls.js
The integration suite probes getPeerCertificate(true) and makes issuer-chain assertions conditional on issuerCertificate availability. Leaf-certificate validation remains unconditional.
Regression guidance
README.md, docs/guide/troubleshooting.md
The documentation describes the Node.js 26.8.x socket-path regression, the unaffected header-based path, and workarounds using allowFingerprints, allowCA, or an older Node.js version.

Explanation

The PR adapts the integration test and documents the Node.js 26.8.0 regression, but it does not implement the linked issue's required non-destructive peer-chain read or the dedicated hasPeerCertificate() binding.

Resolution

Add or link the implementation that copies issuer certificates without consuming the chain and replaces the certificate-presence check with hasPeerCertificate(). Otherwise, link an issue that covers only the test and documentation updates.

Node 26.8.0 stopped exposing the server-side peer chain via
getPeerCertificate(true) (nodejs/node#65579, fix nodejs/node#65602), so the
socket-path includeChain test failed there. It now probes the running Node
once and asserts the issuerCertificate chain only when the runtime still
exposes it. README and the troubleshooting guide note the regression and the
allowFingerprints/allowCA/header-path workarounds.
