Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR improves TLS reporting from the active channel, but an exception during pipeline lookup could incorrectly classify a plaintext connection as TLS-enabled, and one validation test no longer exercises enabled TLS. The change is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to narrow the fallback and restore the intended test coverage. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Derive TLS presence from the control channel pipeline after NettyOptions customization, so handlers added or removed by custom hooks are reported accurately. Compatibility note: this intentionally changes DriverConfigReporter, which is part of the explicitly unstable internal API. Keeping the channel-less contract would preserve an entry point that cannot report effective per-connection TLS state; custom internal reporters must be recompiled.

Pull request overview
Updates configuration reporting to detect TLS from the active control-channel pipeline after Netty customization hooks run.
Changes:
- Passes the control channel into configuration reporters.
- Detects TLS through the channel’s active
SslHandler. - Adds tests for handlers added or removed by pipeline hooks.

major: presence reads the pipeline, but hostname-verification still reads the configured factory — a hook that replaces the handler splits the group across two handlers, and this is the security-relevant half. pipeline.get(SslHandler.class).engine().getSSLParameters() would keep both on one source.

Fixed in 88b4976: TLS presence and hostname verification now come from the active pipeline handler and engine immediately before STARTUP.

minor: newSslHandler returns SslHandler, so only a hook can break this — but one that swaps in a non-SslHandler TLS codec now reports no tls group for an encrypted session. The old blind spot is traded for its inverse; worth a line in the comment.

Documented in tlsInfo: non-SslHandler TLS codecs cannot be detected generically and are reported as TLS-disabled.

design: the reporter needs two facts, but the SPI now hands every third-party implementation the live control channel mid-STARTUP. Resolving them in ProtocolInitHandler and passing a boolean / SSLEngine would keep that capability out of a diagnostics contract.
Also: upgrade_guide/index.md:35 still says the blob describes "the whole session" — tls is now control-connection-scoped while its siblings under connection aren't.

Fixed: the reporter now receives immutable TlsInfo, not the live channel. The docs clarify that TLS is control-connection-scoped.

nit: channel is inherited from ChannelHandlerRequest and is what every other line here uses; ctx resolves correctly only because the inherited field shadows the outer one. The comment above also now under-describes the blob — it carries this channel's SSL state too.

Fixed: the inherited channel creates the snapshot, and the STARTUP comment distinguishes session-wide settings from control-connection TLS.

test: no assertion pins which channel is passed — both stubs drop the second arg and the negative check is never()...(any(), any()). verify(reporter).populateControlConnectionOptions(any(), same(channel)) would.

Covered: the test asserts the exact TlsInfo passed to the reporter, plus an active replacement-engine regression test.

test: getSslHandlerFactory() is stubbed empty at L140, so no channel test ever has an SslHandler — and nothing pins that initChannel installs SSL before the init handler. Reorder it and tls silently vanishes from every report, all lanes green.

test: reporterWith mutates the shared channel, and no-ops when a handler is already there — should_report_every_built_in_engine_factory builds 4 reporters over the first one's handler. Harmless while only presence is read; not once hostname-verification comes off the live handler.

Fixed: the shared EmbeddedChannel is gone; reporter tests use independent immutable TlsInfo snapshots.

The catch covers the pipeline lookup as well as the engine read. If
pipeline().get(SslHandler.class)throws, this reports TLS as enabled for a connection that may be plaintext. Move the handler lookup out of the guarded region so the fallback applies only after anSslHandleris found.♻️ Proposed restructure

Moves active-channel TLS detection out of #999.
The configuration report now derives TLS presence and hostname verification from the active control-channel
SslHandlerafterNettyOptions.afterChannelInitialized, so custom hooks that add, remove, replace, or reconfigure the handler are reflected accurately.ProtocolInitHandlercaptures that state as an immutableTlsInfosnapshot immediately before STARTUP. The reporter receives the snapshot instead of the live Netty channel, keeping connection mutation capabilities out of the diagnostics contract.Compatibility note: this intentionally changes
DriverConfigReporter, which belongs to the explicitly unstable internal API. Custom internal reporters must be recompiled.Tests:
