kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 5 fc0881ff33 fix(env): point python at the OS trust store ...

The package-cache frontend terminates TLS for package traffic and signs
with its own CA: probed from inside the test container, pypi.org arrives
as subject CN=pypi.org issued by CN=Infinito Package-Cache Frontend CA.
package-frontend-ca.sh installs that CA into the OS store, which is why
apt, pip, curl and urllib work — but requests reads certifi, which has
never heard of it, so test-external failed its reachability precondition
with CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED. Upgrading certifi does not help; the
issuer is not a public root.

load.sh is where the runner puts the venv on PATH, so it is also where the
interpreter carrying the pip certifi is chosen; pointing REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE
and SSL_CERT_FILE at the store the stack deliberately fills keeps one trust
decision instead of two. A caller-set value still wins.

The bundle location was about to become a fourth copy: dev-nix and the
network diagnose CLI each carried their own candidate list, and the two had
already drifted apart in their fourth entry. All of them now read
group_vars CA_BUNDLE_CANDIDATES — Ansible directly, the shell through a
generated env key, python through read_group_paths.
