Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked urllib3 security documentation and GnuTLS TOFU reference. Investigate Python's available support for trust-on-first-use, then compare the appropriate behavior for CLI users and daemons. Done means the support requirements and user-facing behavior are defined clearly enough to guide implementation.
