TL;DR

Allow Raw QUIC mode to use --upstream-tls-cert-path as a dedicated CA bundle for connections from stargate-k8s-router to Stargate pods. This separates the router serving identity from its outbound trust configuration.

Additional Details

Raw QUIC previously reused the router serving certificate as the upstream trust source and rejected the explicit upstream CA option. Managed deployments can terminate worker-facing QUIC with one certificate while trusting a separate private CA for Stargate pod certificates.

The Raw QUIC client now prefers STARGATE_UPSTREAM_TLS_CERT_PATH. When it is absent, the existing serving-certificate fallback remains for backward compatibility. WebTransport behavior is unchanged.

For the Reviewer

Please focus on the trust selection in quic.rs and the startup configuration test in main.rs.

For QA

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • cargo test -p stargate-k8s-router
  • cargo clippy -p stargate-k8s-router --all-targets -- -D warnings

QA is covered by unit and router integration tests. A deployment follow-up can wire the dedicated CA path after a release containing this change is available.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for separate upstream TLS trust certificates for Raw QUIC and WebTransport connections.
    • Raw QUIC can now use a dedicated upstream certificate bundle, with fallback to the serving certificate when none is provided.
    • Added consistent TLS configuration behavior across tunnel transport options.
  • Documentation

    • Updated tunnel transport documentation to describe certificate configuration, fallback behavior, and insecure mode.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The router now accepts a dedicated upstream CA bundle for Raw QUIC. Startup loads the bundle once and shares it with Raw QUIC and WebTransport. Raw QUIC uses the dedicated bundle first and the serving certificate as fallback.

Changes

TLS trust configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Load and wire upstream trust material
src/libraries/rust/stargate/crates/stargate-k8s-router/src/main.rs, src/libraries/rust/stargate/docs/tunnel-transports.md
Startup loads the optional upstream CA bundle once. Raw QUIC accepts the option, and WebTransport reuses the loaded bundle. Documentation describes the separate TLS roles and fallback behavior. Tests verify that serving identity and upstream trust remain separate.
Select Raw QUIC trust material
src/libraries/rust/stargate/crates/stargate-k8s-router/src/quic.rs
QuicRouterConfig stores optional upstream trust material. Raw QUIC prefers it over tls_cert_pem and falls back to the serving certificate when it is absent. Tests cover both cases.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0b15b

Raw QUIC now supports a separate upstream CA bundle, but malformed or empty trust material is rejected only during later startup initialization, which can make configuration failures less clear and delay readiness. The change is mergeable with owner awareness or follow-up to validate the bundle during configuration.

Validate the upstream trust bundle during configuration.

When quic_insecure is false, RouterStartupConfig::from_args stores raw upstream_tls_cert_pem bytes without validation. serve_quic_router later parses them during critical task initialization and rejects malformed or empty bundles. Add configuration-time validation and invalid and unreadable-bundle tests. Update the related startup sequence diagram if this changes the startup flow.
