From 33acec673bbfa1fa27bdfc4c1eb1437e9e609e5e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Agent Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2026 05:35:04 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] docs(sandbox): document verified TLS behavior of kubeconfig under Bun Empirically verify under Bun 1.3.14 + @kubernetes/client-node@1.4.0 which kubeconfig TLS knobs are honoured (issue #1849). @kubernetes/client-node uses node-fetch -> https.request(), not Bun's native fetch(). Bun honours agent options via https.request(): skipTLSVerify and caFile both take effect; neither is inert or dead code. NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS is defence-in-depth for k8s API calls, not required. - Rename AUTH NOTE -> TLS NOTE with accurate empirical findings. - Extract makeK8sConfig() so kubeconfig options are unit-testable. - Add three unit tests (caFile branch, skipTLSVerify branch, server/token). - kubernetes.md: demote NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS to optional; correct the false "Bun ignores kubeconfig CA" claim; note both TLS knobs are honoured. --- services/sandbox/docs/kubernetes.md | 24 +++---- .../src/backend/kubernetes/k8s-client.test.ts | 70 ++++++++++++++++++- .../src/backend/kubernetes/k8s-client.ts | 40 +++++++---- 3 files changed, 108 insertions(+), 26 deletions(-) diff --git a/services/sandbox/docs/kubernetes.md b/services/sandbox/docs/kubernetes.md index b2089c52f..1f3aa851f 100644 --- a/services/sandbox/docs/kubernetes.md +++ b/services/sandbox/docs/kubernetes.md @@ -83,18 +83,18 @@ stream.
