+External certificate files under `/etc/letsencrypt` or `/etc/ssl` remain read-only under the systemd sandbox. `ReadOnlyPaths=` does not grant Unix permissions; use narrow POSIX ACLs for the `rustproxy` user. For traversal of a protected root, for example:

+Grant `r--` only on the certificate/key files RustProxy actually needs; never grant write access to the service identity.
+If Certbot or another renewer recreates a key as `0600`, reapply the named file ACL to the newly resolved target in the renewal hook before calling the RustProxy reload API.
