Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Set models[].requestOptions.caBundlePath to the PEM chain (clientCertificate for mTLS); verify with curl --cacert; verifySsl:false only as a temporary diagnostic.
Option: Configure caBundlePath [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: see problem
Steps:
1. openssl s_client -showcerts -connect host:443
2. Save root/intermediate PEM
3. requestOptions: caBundlePath: /path/ca-chain.pem
Expected: Requests succeed
