Exercise the unavailable-verdict path.
Line 493 uses MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_BAD_INPUT_DATA, which already maps to SOLIDSYSLOG_MBEDTLS_STREAM_ERROR_HANDSHAKE_REJECTED regardless of the verification result. The test can pass if the 0xFFFFFFFFU handling is removed.
Use MBEDTLS_ERR_X509_CERT_VERIFY_FAILED with 0xFFFFFFFFU. This verifies that an unavailable verdict from a refused certificate handshake falls back to the generic error.

Extract the repeated refused-handshake setup into test helpers.
The refusal tests repeat multi-line stream, certificate, and forced-handshake-failure setup. Add shared fixture helpers so each test contains only its specific arrangement, operation, and assertion. Apply the same pattern to the corresponding integration scenarios.

Purpose
Part of #731. Both TLS adapters refuse a handshake with one code, so an
integrator whose device will not connect is told the handshake failed, not that
the collector's certificate expired last Tuesday. That sends them looking at the
network for a fault that is on a certificate.
No behaviour changes. Delivery still stops in every case the adapters already
stopped for; what changes is what the report says.
Change Description
Each adapter reads the verification verdict its library already recorded and
maps it to a detail code, appended before
_MAXso existing values stay put:PEER_CERTIFICATE_UNTRUSTED,PEER_NAME_MISMATCHED,PEER_CERTIFICATE_EXPIRED,PEER_CERTIFICATE_NOT_YET_VALID. Severity andcategory are unchanged -
ERROR+CAT_TLS_STREAM_HANDSHAKE_FAILED, which iswhat
docs/error-severity.mdalready prescribes for a rejection. A refusal withno verification fault behind it keeps
HANDSHAKE_REJECTED, which is theprotocol-or-network case an integrator needs told apart from a certificate one.
Three decisions worth stating.
Read the verdict rather than install a verify hook.
SSL_get_verify_resultand
mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_resultboth survive the failed handshake:ssl_verify_cert_chainwritess->verify_resultas path validation runs, andmbedTLS accumulates its flags onto the session being negotiated. A per-
certificate callback would be needed to override a verdict, which is #753's
problem, not this one.
UNTRUSTEDis the catch-all, not an enumerated list. A revoked certificate,an unacceptable hash and a key too weak for the profile all mean the certificate
did not validate, and the integrator's next step - replace the certificate, not
the network - is the same for each. Leaving them as
HANDSHAKE_REJECTEDwouldhave said "this might be your network" about a fault that is not.
mbedTLS follows OpenSSL's precedence, not its own. OpenSSL reports one code,
fixed by
verify_chain:build_chainthencheck_idtheninternal_verify, soan untrusted chain is reported ahead of a name, and a name ahead of the dates.
mbedTLS accumulates flags and has to be told which wins; matching OpenSSL means
the two adapters agree on a compound fault as well as on a single one. This is
deliberately not mbedTLS's own alert-selection order, which puts CN mismatch
first and
NOT_TRUSTEDlast.0xFFFFFFFF- mbedTLS for "no verdict available" - is recognised rather thanmapped. Every flag reads as set in it, so without the guard a refusal with no
certificate behind it would be reported as an untrusted one.
Test Evidence
Unit tests, one per reason per adapter, each written failing first against the
fakes (
SSL_get_verify_resultadded toOpenSslFake,mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_resulttoMbedTlsFake). Three further mbedTLS testsdrove shape the single-reason tests did not: the precedence on a compound
verdict, the catch-all on a flag the cascade does not name, and the unavailable
verdict.
The mapping is then pinned against the real libraries rather than the fakes'
canned verdicts.
HandshakeRejectedWhenServerCertIsExpired,...HostnameDoesNotMatchand...DoesNotTrustServerCertasserted only thatOpenreturned false; they now assert the code as well, and an expired, anot-yet-valid and a no-anchors case join them.
MbedTlsTestCertgrewValidityFrom/ValidityTofor this - it hard-coded a window that neverexpires.
SolidSyslogTests1506/1506,OpenSslIntegrationTests17/17 (debug preset)against the real libraries
clang-format --dry-run --Werrorclean over the whole treemisra_renumber.py: no new rule/file pairs against the base branch, verifiedby running the script on both. The one new finding it did surface - 8.9 on a
file-scope constant used in a single function - was fixed by moving the
constant to block scope rather than suppressed
Areas Affected
Platform/OpenSslandPlatform/MbedTlsstream adapters and their public errorenums; both fakes; both integration suites. The "A refused connection does not
say which check refused it" divergence comes off both platform pages.
While reading that list, the Mbed TLS page's remaining no-trust-anchors
divergence turned out to describe the old behaviour - it now reports an
untrusted peer rather than a bare refusal. The divergence itself stands, since
neither names the missing anchors, so the prose is corrected and the #753 link
stays. An integration test pins what it actually reports.
