Description

poolmgrd currently supports mTLS + insecure mode (#14, closed), but certs presumably require a restart to rotate. Add dynamic reload of server/CA certs on file change or SIGHUP so certs can be rotated without downtime.

Research direction

Start at poolmgrd’s mTLS setup and review issue #14’s prior implementation context to find how server and CA certificates are loaded. Confirm the chosen file-change or SIGHUP trigger, then verify that rotating both certificates takes effect without restarting or interrupting service.
