Description

Quic implementation seems to not support mTLS. Server silently accepts require_client_certificate but a client without a cert can connect regardless.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the QUIC transport implementation in Envoy to find where client certificate verification should occur but is missing. Focus on connection establishment and certificate validation logic.
