Descripción
**What problem would this solve?**
Remote extension allowlists are an administrator policy input, but Goose currently accepts any configured URL and follows redirects without defining an authenticated-transport requirement. Existing deployments may rely on plaintext HTTP, especially for local services, so changing this needs an explicit compatibility policy.
**What would a good outcome look like?**
Remote allowlist content has a documented transport-authentication rule that is enforced for the initial URL and every redirect. Administrators get a clear error for disallowed configurations and a narrowly defined migration path where needed.
**Possible approaches**
- Require HTTPS for all remote allowlists and reject downgrade redirects.
- Permit plaintext HTTP only for loopback addresses.
- Offer an explicit insecure compatibility override with prominent diagnostics and documentation.
The decision should cover redirects, local certificate deployments, startup failure behavior, and existing managed installations.
**Additional context**
- [x] I have verified this does not duplicate an existing feature request
Do not begin implementation until the issue reaches **Ready** on the [Goose Issues board](https://github.com/orgs/aaif-goose/projects/1).
Guía de contribución
Línea de trabajo
Look for the code that fetches remote extension allowlists, likely in a configuration or security module. Examine how URLs are resolved and redirects are handled. The outcome is a defined policy enforced at fetch time, with clear error messages for non-compliant configurations. Testing will involve simulating different URL schemes and redirect scenarios.
