…efault The default changed from false to true in Aspire 13.4, and the feature now works on macOS and Linux (using cert/key files) in addition to Windows (thumbprint). Update configuration.mdx table and the certificate-configuration.mdx DCP section to reflect the new defaults, cross-platform support, and opt-out behavior.
