RQ-2425: "Allow insecure SSL" toggle UI + docs#73
Merged
Conversation
Adds an "Allow insecure SSL certificates" switch to Desktop Settings. It reads and writes the desktop `allowInsecureCerts` user preference over IPC (USER_PREFERENCE:GET/UPDATE_ALLOW_INSECURE_CERTS). Off by default (verify); turning it on lets the proxy reach self-signed / internal upstreams. Applied on app restart. Pairs with requestly-desktop-app + requestly-proxy RQ-2425 changes.

- New public interceptor doc explaining the desktop setting: what it does, that it's off by default, when to use it, and the SSL error tokens shown when verification fails. - Register it in the Capture Traffic nav group. - Cross-link from the untrusted-SSL troubleshooting page, distinguishing the destination site's certificate from the RQProxyCA certificate. Images referenced by the page (desktop-settings-toggle.png, ssl-error-page.png) to be added under documentation/images/allow-insecure-ssl/.

The toggle drives desktop IPC (USER_PREFERENCE:*_ALLOW_INSECURE_CERTS) + proxy support that ships in desktop 26.6.22. The web app is loaded live by every desktop version, so without a gate older desktops would render a toggle whose IPC is unhandled (silent no-op). Gate it via isFeatureCompatible so it only appears on desktop 26.6.22+. - Add FEATURES.ALLOW_INSECURE_SSL. - Add compatibility entry: DESKTOP "26.6.22", EXTENSION null. - Wrap <InsecureCerts /> in isFeatureCompatible(FEATURES.ALLOW_INSECURE_SSL). semver.gte comparison confirms 26.6.8 is hidden, 26.6.22+ shows it.
