# TLS Version Constraint
#
# Restrict accepted TLS versions via `min_version`.
# Use `tls13` to require TLS 1.3 exclusively, rejecting
# TLS 1.2 handshakes. Useful for environments that mandate
# modern cipher suites and forward secrecy (PCI DSS 4.0,
# internal zero-trust networks, API-only services).

#   Client                          Praxis :8443
#     |                                |
#     |--- ClientHello (TLS 1.2) ----->|
#     |                                | min_version: tls13
#     |<-- handshake_failure ----------|

#     |<===== encrypted session ======>|
#
# Accepted values for min_version:
#   tls12  (default) allows TLS 1.2 and 1.3
#   tls13            allows TLS 1.3 only
