Problem
Core supports explicit private-CA TLS and mTLS for the A2A Router's Nacos HTTP and gRPC transports, but the product Stack still configures Router-to-Nacos traffic as plaintext. Current product acceptance proves secure Provider registration only, so the deployed Register -> Discover -> Install -> Invoke -> Record path does not yet prove the Router's secure Config Center read, initial Naming snapshot, and lifecycle watch together.
Ownership
This is a NeKiro-Stack deployment and product-acceptance slice. Core remains the owner of Router configuration and transport semantics. Stack owns ephemeral PKI generation, secure Nacos fixture assembly, immutable component pins, and product E2E success criteria.
Scope
- Generate ephemeral private-CA, server, and Router client material before the Router starts.
- Do not commit certificates or private keys.
- Terminate authenticated HTTPS and gRPC mTLS in a Stack-owned Nacos proxy fixture.
- Configure the Router's Nacos API origin and gRPC target to use only the secure fixture.
- Mount the same ephemeral client identity into the Router.
- Preserve Provider A TLS and Provider B mTLS registration acceptance.
- Prove that Config Center binding reads, initial Naming snapshots, watch updates, runtime removal/replacement, Router invocation, nested calls, and Ledger recording still pass.
- Add observable acceptance evidence that both secure HTTP and secure gRPC boundaries were actually reached.
- Document local/CI operation and the exact trust boundary.
Failure semantics
- no system trust roots
- no plaintext downgrade
- no alternate Nacos endpoint
- no retry or reconnect introduced by this slice
- no stale-success fallback
- no certificate path, PEM, private-key, or credential leakage
Fallback delta: removed 0, retained 0, added 0, net 0
Added fallback evidence: none
Acceptance
- Stack quality, manifest, compose, backend, browser, security, and required pass.
- Router starts only with valid private-CA mTLS material.
- Backend acceptance observes at least one authenticated HTTPS request and one authenticated gRPC connection from Router.
- The full A/B lifecycle and replacement/watch acceptance remain green.
- Tracked source contains no generated certificate or private-key material.
