Pull request overview
Removes expensive self-signature verification during X.509 parsing and relies on DN/SKID/AKID heuristics to mark certificates as “self-signed” for path-building purposes.
Changes:
- Replace signature verification with a heuristic: subject DN == issuer DN, and (when present) SKID == AKID.
- Default to
self_signed = truewhen subject==issuer but SKID/AKID are missing. - Expand inline documentation explaining the rationale and intended usage.
