Cloud gateway refuses a pinned certificate stored in a symlinked file

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal2
Internals

A symlinked TLS pin file makes the cloud gateway refuse outright rather than retry.

What

If the credentials file holding the cloud gateway's TLS pin is a symlink, the connection is refused outright and not retried. An unreadable pin is now reported as its own separate failure.

Details
  • Two distinct error kinds: gateway_pin_refused for the symlink case, gateway_pin_unreadable for a pin that cannot be read.
  • The symlink refusal suppresses retry; nothing turns this check off.
Evidence

Cloud gateway TLS pin is in a symlinked credentials file

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
