Major Themes

Skip the self-check with waitInsteadOfSelfCheck

cert-manager 1.21 adds the waitInsteadOfSelfCheck solver option for ACME HTTP01 and DNS01 challenges. When set, cert-manager skips its own self-check and instead waits the configured duration after presentation before asking the ACME server to validate. This is an escape hatch for environments where cert-manager cannot reliably observe the same validation path as the ACME server, such as split-horizon DNS or NAT loopback (or hairpinning).

See Skip the self-check with waitInsteadOfSelfCheck for configuration details.
