- PR #127638: fix(ssl): keep the pre-injection stdlib SSLContext usable after truststore injection (#126808)

These issues and fixes address race conditions and ordering problems with platform truststore injection, ensuring the trust store is installed before SDKs capture ssl.SSLContext and that the pre-injection stdlib SSLContext remains usable afterward.
