Deploying the m11-44b768b image (p6 sharding + p7 mTLS + p8 ops + p9 correctness)
surfaced two blockers; both fixed here.
1. statefulset.yaml: the m11p7 change made the :9500 HTTP plane serve TLS, but the
startup/liveness/readiness probes still used scheme HTTP — kubelet got a TLS
handshake back ("malformed HTTP response \x15\x03\x03") and pods never went
Ready. Set scheme: HTTPS on all three probes (kubelet skips cert verification
for httpGet probes, so the cert's DNS-only SANs are fine). Image pinned to the
m11-44b768b amd64 digest.
2. tidal-stress: the generator's reqwest client did default cert verification and
had no way to trust the cluster's private CA, so https:// targets failed. Added
--ca-cert <pem> (verified TLS against the mounted tidaldb-cluster-tls ca.crt)
and --insecure (skip verification, escape hatch). New StressError::CaCert for
the PEM read fault.
stress-job-m11p6-baseline.yaml: T2-A-equivalent quorum-write throughput run on the
new stack — https:// targets, ca.crt mounted from the tidaldb-cluster-tls Secret,
--ca-cert verified TLS. Drops the removed --write-path flag (m11p6 unified the
write path to hash-routing).
