Hello everyone,

The original PR for this GEP (#3894) is unlikely to make the v1.4 release, as the author (@kflynn) has limited availability to continue the work.

After speaking with Flynn and getting their approval, I am taking ownership of this GEP. To meet the v1.4 release timeline, I've reduced the scope of the original proposal and added more info to some sections.

This pull request supersedes #3894.

Hi @karthikbox. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes-sigs member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Docs: Clarify and resolve inconsistencies in GEP-3792
a0db3f2 
This commit addresses several logical inconsistencies and ambiguities
in GEP-3792 (Out-of-Cluster Gateways) to provide a clearer path for
implementers.

Key changes:
- Resolves the contradiction in the "Protocol Problem" by definitively
  stating that the initial release will use standard "bare" mTLS,
  deferring a custom ALPN to a future GEP.
- Clarifies the "Trust Problem" solution by establishing Secret
  references as the baseline for conformance, while recommending
  ClusterTrustBundle as the preferred, forward-looking approach.
