Proposed fix: [WSL2 after Windows sleep/resume] Clock skew breaks apt ('Release file for ... is not valid yet (invalid for another ...)'), TLS cert validation, signed API requests — VM clock not resyn
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Resync the guest clock (sudo hwclock -s, or ntpdate/chrony/systemd-timesyncd via systemd or a [boot] command in /etc/wsl.conf), or restart the VM with wsl --shutdown; do not disable apt date checks.
Option: Resync the WSL clock [evidence: documented_workaround]
Applies when: After sleep/resume
Steps:
1. sudo hwclock -s (or sudo ntpdate <server>)
2. Optionally automate via systemd time sync or /etc/wsl.conf [boot] command
3. Or wsl --shutdown and reopen
Expected: date matches host; apt/TLS work
