Research direction

Start by reproducing the Azure DevOps clone on the stated .NET 8 Ubuntu 22.04 image with libssl3. Read the failing paths in Ensure.cs, Proxy.cs, and Repository.cs, then trace where credentials and the native SSL dependency are loaded. Done means the supplied CloneOptions can complete the clone without the libssl error.
