- Line 535: Reject non-empty per-call TLSGroups wherever non-ctls clients can
accept them: validate at the service boundary in Service.ConnectWithOptions
using the configured scan mode, and add guards to the exported
ConnectWithOptions methods in auto.Client, ztls.Client, and openssl.Client.
Return an error stating TLSGroups are supported only with ctls before delegating
or attempting fallback.
Review comments at @pkg/tlsx/clients/curves.go:
- Around line 11-28: Update ToCurveIDs and its related curve definitions so Go
1.25 cannot accept SecP256r1MLKEM768, SecP384r1MLKEM1024, or MLKEM1024 as
supported TLS groups. Remove these IDs from canonicalCurveMap, the numeric
switch, and SupportedTLSGroups, or explicitly reject them in ToCurveIDs.
Review comments at @pkg/tlsx/tlsx.go:
- Around line 93-110: Update the failed-probe response in ConnectWithOptions to
prefer the per-call options.TLSGroups when populating ConfiguredGroups, falling
back to s.options.TLSGroups only when no per-call groups are provided.

Reject per-call TLSGroups outside ctls.
Service.ConnectWithOptions forwards non-empty ConnectOptions.TLSGroups to every backend. In auto, the ctls attempt can apply the groups, but fallback to ztls or openssl can succeed while silently ignoring them. Direct ztls.ConnectWithOptions, openssl.ConnectWithOptions, and auto.ConnectWithOptions calls have the same gap. The existing guards validate only constructor-level Options.TLSGroups.
Reject non-empty per-call groups at the service boundary and in the exported non-ctls client methods.

site:github.com/golang/go/blob/go1.25.0/src/crypto/tls/common.go CurvePreferences unknown CurveID ignored ClientHello
💡 Result:
In **Go 1.25.0**, an unknown `CurveID` in `tls.Config.CurvePreferences` is ignored when choosing curves—not rejected just because it is present. `curvePreferences` filters the configured preferences through Go’s supported curve order; unsupported entries therefore don’t make it into the list used for key exchange. This is an inference from the implementation, not a documented promise about all future versions. ([github.com](https://github.com/golang/go/blob/go1.25.0/src/crypto/tls/handshake_server_tls13.go))
That means an unknown ID is **not advertised in the ClientHello**. If the configured list contains no recognized, usable curves, the handshake may fail rather than silently falling back to defaults. The `common.go` page for the exact tag timed out during lookup, so I can’t verify its comment text directly; the linked sources are the Go 1.25.0 implementation files.

Reject TLS groups that Go 1.25 cannot negotiate.
go.mod declares Go 1.25.0, but that toolchain does not implement SecP256r1MLKEM768, SecP384r1MLKEM1024, or MLKEM1024. ToCurveIDs accepts these IDs and assigns them to tls.Config.CurvePreferences. Go 1.25 filters unsupported configured IDs when selecting curves, so -tg MLKEM1024 does not constrain the ClientHello to that group. If no supported group remains, the handshake can fail.
Remove these IDs from canonicalCurveMap, the numeric switch, and SupportedTLSGroups, or reject them explicitly in ToCurveIDs.

Report the per-connection TLS groups on failed probes.
When ProbeStatus is enabled, ConnectWithOptions builds the ctls configuration with the per-call options.TLSGroups. If the connection fails, the response currently prefers s.options.TLSGroups, so ConfiguredGroups can report the service list instead of the groups used by the failed connection.
