Description
Dear @simplex-chat team,
Can you add the support of RFC 9266: Channel Bindings for TLS 1.3?
Channel Bindings for TLS: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5929
- XEP-0388: Extensible SASL Profile: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0388.html
- XEP-0440: SASL Channel-Binding Type Capability: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0440.html
- XEP-0474: SASL SCRAM Downgrade Protection: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0474.html
- XEP-0480: SASL Upgrade Tasks: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0480.html
Little details, to know easily:
- tls-unique for TLS =< 1.2 (RFC5929)
- tls-server-end-point =< 1.2 + 1.3 (RFC5929)
- tls-exporter for TLS = 1.3 (RFC9266)
After the jabber.ru MITM, it is time to add it:

Thanks in advance.

Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by reading RFC 9266 alongside RFC 5929 and the referenced XMPP SASL specifications, then locate the repository's SASL and TLS integration. Done means supporting the TLS 1.3 tls-exporter channel binding without regressing the specified TLS 1.2 bindings, with coverage for the relevant negotiation behavior.
