## Summary LanceDB's remote HTTP client (reqwest) and gRPC client (tonic) used rustls with the `ring` crypto provider, while the AWS SDK and object_store use aws-lc-rs. This moves both clients to aws-lc-rs: - `tonic`: `tls-ring` → `tls-aws-lc`. - `reqwest`: 0.12 → 0.13. reqwest 0.12 has no aws-lc-rs feature; 0.13's `rustls` feature uses it. 0.13 was already in the lockfile through object_store. No code changes were needed. - `macos-system-configuration` is replaced by its 0.13 name, `system-proxy`, which also reads the system proxy on Windows. - `query` is now an opt-in feature in 0.13; it's used for request query parameters. - Certificate verification moves from `rustls-native-certs` to `rustls-platform-verifier`, which uses the OS verifier on macOS and Windows. `ring` is still compiled in, because `lance-namespace-impls` and `lance-namespace-reqwest-client` enable it through reqwest 0.12 (lance-format/lance#9855, lance-format/lance-namespace#369). Both clients here pick aws-lc-rs explicitly, so they don't depend on which providers are compiled in. ## Evidence A temporary example that connects the remote client to real HTTPS hosts: ``` https://example.com: Http error: ... 404 Not Found: <!doctype html>... # TLS handshake OK https://expired.badssl.com: Hit retry limit ... connect_failures=3/3 # bad cert rejected ``` ## Merge Risk **Door:** two-way; dependency feature changes only. **Blast Radius:** `remote` TLS and certificate verification (Python, Node, and Rust LanceDB Cloud clients). 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
