Pull request overview
This PR expands X.509 certificate policy test coverage by generating more nuanced certificate chains (including a 4-cert chain with per-intermediate extensions) and validating chain-policy behavior across platforms. It also fixes a policy constraint depth accounting bug in the CertificatePolicy implementation.
Changes:
- Extend
TestDataGenerator.MakeTestChainto support per-intermediate extension sets for longer chains. - Add table-driven certificate policy mapping/constraint test cases and a 4-cert chain test helper in
DynamicChainTests. - Fix incorrect depth decrement logic in
CertificatePolicy.ReadPoliciesfor policy mapping inhibition.

The Android failures were all the same "hey, Android seems to have changed how policies are processed" bug as #128890, so I marked the new test(s) ActiveIssue. or Full Log Snippet |

This change adds several new certificate policy tests to better cover edge cases.
Since this is one of the areas that is just a thin projection above the Windows OS APIs on .NET Framework, the de facto answers are "our Windows behavior is right".
