PYTHON-5805

Changes in this PR

Lets CSFLE and Queryable Encryption tunnel KMS traffic through an HTTP proxy, which networks that force outbound 443 through a proxy currently make impossible. The caller opens the connection and the driver still performs the KMS TLS handshake, so verification targets the KMS host rather than the proxy.

  • Adds kms_connect_callback on AutoEncryptionOpts, ClientEncryption and AsyncClientEncryption, plus KMSConnectContext.
  • Adds HTTPProxyKMSConnect and AsyncHTTPProxyKMSConnect, so most users pass a helper instead of writing a callback.
  • Splits TLS wrapping out of the connect helpers in pymongo/pool_shared.py, leaving existing connection paths unchanged.
  • Raises ConfigurationError, without retrying, when a callback returns the wrong thing; network errors stay retryable.
  • Adds the six prose tests from section 28 of the client-side-encryption test specification.
  • Skips prose case 5 as a known specification discrepancy, tracked in PYTHON-6037.

Mostly tests: 804 of the 1222 added lines, half of them the synchro-generated mirror.

Test Plan

Prose tests against real AWS KMS through the drivers-evergreen-tools proxies, both flavors: 10 passed, 2 skipped, 0 failed. The proxy logged connect_target kms.us-east-1.amazonaws.com:443. Unit tests: 18 passed. just lint, just typing and just docs clean.

Evergreen patch, 7 encryption variants across RHEL8, macOS and Windows: https://spruce.corp.mongodb.com/version/6a873cdeb7e195000786c854

Implements all six cases of spec section 28 "KMS Connect Callback":
plain and TLS proxy tunneling via kms_connect_callback, auto encryption
through a proxy, callback error propagation, timeout visibility on
KMSConnectContext, and retry after a callback network error.
… 5 gap

The docstring promised the driver could pass timeout=None, but the only
producer (max(_csot.clamp_remaining(...), 0.001)) is always a positive
float. Reworded to describe actual behavior without narrowing the
Optional[float] type. Also added a comment on the case 5 timeout
assertion in TestKmsConnectCallbackProse recording that explicit
ClientEncryption operations set no CSOT deadline, so timeoutMS on the
key-vault client does not currently tighten the value asserted.
Case 5 asserts the KMS connect callback receives a non-zero timeout. That
cannot fail in PyMongo: ClientEncryption does not support timeoutMS and
explicit encryption operations establish no CSOT deadline, so the callback
always receives the default KMS connect timeout. Skip the case rather than
leave it passing vacuously, and record the deviation on KMSConnectContext,
which the CSOT specification requires for any blocking section timeoutMS
does not cover. Tracked in PYTHON-6037.
Factor the duplicated HTTP CONNECT handshake out of the two
KMSConnectContext examples so the TLS-proxy example shows only what is
different about it, the socketpair relay. Trim the CSOT deviation note,
the changelog entry, and the case 5 comment, which restated the reason
already carried by the skip decorator. No behavior change.
…pwire

Raise ConfigurationError for kms_connect_callback contract violations
instead of a private sentinel exception. It is the right public type for
a misconfigured callback, and the no-retry clause in kms_request now keys
off it.

Remove the flavor-specific 'Must be a coroutine function.' sentence from
the ClientEncryption parameter docs. KMSConnectContext already documents
both flavors, so the synchro replacement entry and the tripwire that
guarded it are no longer needed. Rewording the awaitable-guard message
also removes the split string literals that dodged synchro's rewriting.
ssl.SSLContext.wrap_socket refuses a non-blocking socket, and a callback
has no reason to care which mode it leaves the socket in. Set the timeout
in _connect_kms rather than pushing the requirement onto the caller.

Do it there and not in _async_wrap_socket_tls, which is shared with every
MongoDB connection and currently handshakes under the connect-derived
timeout; forcing socket_timeout for all callers would change behavior on
that path.

Narrow the docstring accordingly. The real constraint is a real socket
the event loop is not managing, not the blocking mode: asyncio streams
and transports are not sockets, and the socket under one stays
registered with the loop.
transport.get_extra_info('socket') returns an asyncio TransportSocket,
which is not a socket.socket, so the existing contract check already
rejects it. Say so in the message and point at loop.sock_connect, rather
than leaving the caller to work out why their socket was refused.

Also correct the docstring: loop.sock_connect leaves an ordinary socket
behind once it completes, so it is usable here. Only streams, transports,
and the transport socket underneath them are not.
Merge the two KMSConnectContext paragraphs that both described what the
callback returns, and shorten the asyncio guidance to the three facts a
caller needs.

Shorten the contract error: an exception should point at the mistake, not
restate the docstring.

Drop four test comments that the assertion on the next line already
states, and condense the ones that explain something non-obvious.
Writing a callback by hand meant implementing the CONNECT handshake and,
for a TLS proxy, a socketpair bridge with two relay threads, because
Python cannot layer TLS over an ssl.SSLSocket. That is the most delicate
code in the feature and every user would have copied it from a docstring.

Ship it instead. HTTPProxyKMSConnect and its async variant handle plain
and TLS proxies and are usable directly as kms_connect_callback. The
callback option is unchanged and remains the escape hatch for cases the
helper does not cover, such as proxy authentication.

The prose tests now drive the shipped class rather than a private copy,
so the spec tests cover the public API. KMSConnectContext's docstring
drops from 117 lines to 44, since it no longer carries two worked
examples.
asyncio.to_thread is run_in_executor(None, ...) plus a contextvars copy.
The propagation buys nothing here, since the helper takes its timeout as
an argument and never reads the CSOT contextvar in the thread, so the
only effect was introducing a second idiom for a job auth_oidc.py already
does one way when it runs a user-supplied callback off the loop.
The worked CONNECT example moved to HTTPProxyKMSConnect when the helper
landed, so the cross-reference to KMSConnectContext was stale.
