Thank you for your patience. My primary duties have been a living nightmare for the past month, completely monopolizing my life.
This looks good! Since it's been a long time since we have last time anyone has touched overall infrastructure I gave this a few extra smoke checks
chromeis enumerated in the CLI help- The
chromelint is reachable by the CLI- This includes include/exclude filtering.
- The library usage (actually the more common, I believe) is finding the new lint category just fine.
Honestly, I'm a bit surprised (pleasantly so) that it was as simple as adding a few extra enums and filesystem paths.
Thank you very much for this addition to ZLint!

Following up on my proposal on #1016, which I understand was approved, this PR introduces what's needed to support Chrome Root Program Policy-based lints and includes a first lint based on the new
ChromeRootStorePolicylint source. Specifically, the lint proposed here verifies that TLS Server certificates issued after March 15, 2027, do not have clientAuth in their EKU, as required by the CRP [1]. This check is a bit ahead of its time, if you like, but I believe it won't hurt to introduce it now.[1] https://googlechrome.github.io/chromerootprogram/#132-promote-use-of-dedicated-tls-server-authentication-pki-hierarchies
