MLIR, zstd, and fallback-manifest downloads use the runner's Node trust store. Document a temporary Ubuntu 24.04 caller workaround with a patched CA package and explicit OpenSSL trust selection. Explain verification with the runner's bundled Node, private CA preservation, installer trust, and the limit that a workflow step cannot protect runner bootstrap.

Remove the override after the deployed runner images and Node trust configuration are verified to reject all advisory test chains. Runtime defaults are unchanged.

Validation: README hooks pass. The Ubuntu package example was not executed on this Windows host; a package version alone is not proof of effective trust.

Codex assisted with this change. Human reviewers retain acceptance and responsibility.

⚠️ AI text below ⚠️

Closing this documentation-only PR after reassessing the scope. Its full diff only changes README.md with temporary eMudhra workaround guidance; it does not update a dependency, container, or runtime implementation. This guidance is better maintained upstream and will become obsolete as the affected OS and tool trust stores are updated. Actual dependency, container, and runtime fixes remain in their separate PRs.

Upstream incident and update guidance: https://emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com/
