Research direction
Start by inspecting OpenSSL::X509::Request and the existing certificate-signing request path, then compare its signing options with the shown openssl req -new ... -sigopt rsa_padding_mode:pss behavior. Done means PSS signatures are supported for requests with equivalent signature options; issue #75 may provide related context.
