tls_context() now defaults to real certificate verification instead of the
tool's original always-CERT_NONE posture; measure_tls() only falls back to
unverified on ssl.SSLCertVerificationError, retiming the retry since the
failed attempt's duration isn't representative. This is also the only way
to get subject/issuer/notAfter at all - getpeercert() returns {} for a
chain that never validated.
Every TLS result now carries cert_sha256 (SHA-256 of the full DER cert, not
the SPKI - that would need the cryptography package, a dependency this
doesn't need), cert_issuer, cert_days_remaining, and the long-dead
cert_verified field finally gets written. New tls.pinned_fingerprints
config (host -> expected hash, capped and hex-validated) drives three new
findings: a pin mismatch is crit, an unpinned validation failure is warn,
an expiring cert is warn.
Live-tested with --tls against real Cloudflare/Google endpoints - verified
handshake, correct issuer and expiry both times.

New Phase 0 in diagnose(): three generate_204-style probes run before every
other module, using detect-and-tag rather than short-circuit — a portal is
rarely total (DNS/ICMP often pass while only HTTP is intercepted), and an
aborted run would look identical to a dead link. On detection every later
phase still runs, tagged with a crit finding and a banner at the top of the
report.
Caught live before it shipped: detectportal.firefox.com/success.txt (one of
the original three default check URLs) returns 200 "success" on a genuinely
clean connection, which the generate_204-shaped classifier misread as a
portal redirect. Swapped for a second real generate_204 endpoint instead of
teaching the classifier a second success shape.
Also redesigned the speedtest server geo-sanity check after checking the
bundled Ookla CLI's actual JSON output: its server object never carries
lat/lon (documented schema, not a version gap), so speed.server_other_country
compares server_country against the client's own country instead of a
haversine distance that no tier can actually supply.

Every run used to write all three files (en.md, ru.md, json) unconditionally.
Default is now English Markdown only, sourced from output.formats in
config.yaml; --format/--ru/--json pick exactly what a run writes, and any
explicit --format replaces the default rather than adding to it (all/none
supported). write_report() moved from a fixed 3-positional-arg signature to
a {format: text} mapping so writes are conditional instead of always-three.
The en/ru Markdown cross-link header is now only set when both languages are
actually being written.
