task 1: S-1 remediation — no-pop posture doc + OQ-TLS-09 + permanent impersonation pin

- AcceptAnyCertVerifier doc: the presented CertificateVerify signature
  is not verified (no proof-of-possession) — the server-extracted
  fingerprint is attacker-suppliable from observed public cert/SPKI
  bytes; states the two safe patterns (auth-layer challenge-response /
  a verifying verifier) and points at OQ-TLS-09
- FingerprintPinVerifier doc (N-1): fixed the "stolen-but-stale
  fingerprint" phrasing (the cert is presented fresh each handshake;
  the signature check defeats a stolen/observed cert used by a party
  without the private key) and added the server-verifier cross-reference
- OQ-TLS-09 recorded (open, high): which layer owns server-path
  proof-of-possession — three options; deferral noted (needs the
  auth-layer design or an API call before the first consumer)
- tests/impersonation_posture.rs (tcp-gated): the S-1 probe made
  permanent, both variants — X.509 victim cert + attacker key and RFC
  7250 victim SPKI + attacker key complete the handshake, application
  data flows, and the server extracts the victim's fingerprint; any
  future pop change must fail/update this test with the doc + OQ
- server.md / client.md synced with the same posture
- task note: the review's N-4 parenthetical ("alknet's client resolver
  offers both types") is inaccurate — rustls 0.23.41/0.23.44 offer
  [RawPublicKey] iff the resolver's only_raw_public_keys() is true;
  task 6 should write N-4 from the rustls sources

Verified: cargo test 68 default / 77 all-features (+2) green; clippy

+  attacker signer completes, and the server extracts the victim's
+  fingerprint)
+- **Status**: open (recorded 2026-09-10)
+- **Priority**: high
+- **Question**: `AcceptAnyCertVerifier` never checks the client's
+  CertificateVerify signature — the presented identity is spoofable by
+  anyone holding the public cert/SPKI bytes, and the auth layer cannot
+  detect it (the fingerprint it is handed *is* the victim's). alknet
+  ADR-034 inherited the request-but-don't-require shape without
+  recording this property. Who enforces possession?
+- **Options**:
+  - **(a) Keep request-but-don't-require; the auth layer owns
+    challenge-response** over the established channel, bound to the
+    presented public key. No crate change; the S-1 doc note on
+    `AcceptAnyCertVerifier` is the honest description until then.
+  - **(b) Add a `VerifyPresentedCertVerifier` sibling**
+    (request-and-verify): same nine-scheme list, permissive
+    `verify_client_cert`, signature methods delegate to
+    `rustls::crypto::verify_tls{12,13}_signature(_with_raw_key)` — the
+    routing the client-side `FingerprintPinVerifier` already
+    implements. Additive; must land before the first consumer (an API
+    shape decision).
+  - **(c) Make the auth layer's fingerprint resolution
+    possession-checked** (a possession proof accompanies each
+    fingerprint resolution). Cross-crate; the auth layer does not exist
+    yet.
+- **Constraints**: the spoofable posture is pinned by
+  `tests/impersonation_posture.rs` (both cert types) — any decision
+  must fail or update that test together with the

+- The probe used a tokio duplex pair + `TlsConnector`/`TlsAcceptor`

+  `ResolvesClientCert` presenting the victim's bytes with the
+  attacker's signer, `only_raw_public_keys() == false` in both

+  review-probe shape; verified against rustls 0.23.44's
+  `validate_client_cert_type_extension` — an offer of only
+  `[RawPublicKey]` would fail `IncorrectCertificateTypeExtension`
+  against `requires_raw_public_keys() == false`, so the SPKI is
+  presented under the default X.509 offer and passes through unparsed).
+- N-4 (the `requires_raw_public_keys()` doc note) is deliberately NOT
+  in this task — it belongs to `docs-pin-c1-c4-n3-n4`. While verifying
+  the probe shape, the review's N-4 parenthetical ("alknet's own
+  client resolver offers both types") was found inaccurate: rustls
+  0.23.41 AND 0.23.44 send `client_certificate_types = [RawPublicKey]`
+  whenever the resolver's `only_raw_public_keys()` is true — there is
+  no "offers both types" behavior in either version. Task 6 should
+  write the N-4 note from the rustls sources, not from the review's
+  parenthetical.
+- Docs synced beyond the type docs: `docs/architecture/server.md` §

 ## Summary
 
 > Agent fills this on completion.
+
+**Landed (this task):**
+
+1. `src/server.rs` — `AcceptAnyCertVerifier` doc rewritten: a
+   "# The presented signature is NOT verified (no proof-of-possession)"
+   section stating the spoofable-fingerprint consequence, the two safe
+   patterns (challenge-response / a verifying verifier), the
+   OQ-TLS-09 pointer, and the pinning-test reference.
+2. `src/client.rs` — `FingerprintPinVerifier` doc: the
+   "stolen-but-stale fingerprint" phrasing replaced (the cert is
+   presented fresh each handshake; the signature check defeats use of
+   a stolen/observed cert by a party without the private key) plus the
+   cross-reference: this verifier checks pop; the server-side
+   `AcceptAnyCertVerifier` does not.
+3. `docs/architecture/open-questions.md` — OQ-TLS-09 recorded, status
+   **open**, the three options (a/b/c), the pinning-test constraint,
+   and the deferral note (the decision needs the auth-layer design or
+   an API call before the first consumer).
+4. `tests/impersonation_posture.rs` (tcp-gated) — the impersonation
+   probe made permanent, both variants: X.509 victim cert + attacker
+   key, and RFC 7250 victim SPKI + attacker key; each asserts the
+   handshake completes, application data flows, and the server-extracted
+   fingerprint equals the victim's.
+
+**Verification:** 68 default / 77 all-features tests green
+(+2 new); clippy `-D warnings` clean (default + all-features); fmt
+clean; `cargo doc --no-deps` warning-free.
