"Could not create TLS config: failed to read mTLS cert pair" freezes build

[tmancey]

If the files engflow.crt and engflow.key are missing from the specified paths, reproxy becomes unresponsive instead of providing a clear error message.

Running reproxystatus -watch 1s indicated that the system status was reported as is OK.

Enabling verbose logging with export RBE_v=2 produced the following logs:

Thanks for reporting this. We are going to patch a CL to terminate the reproxy binary (break the build) if inputprocess or sdk failed during initialization.
