### Description In `verify_https_client(ctx)` (`apisix/init.lua`), `local matched_ssl = ngx.ctx.matched_ssl` is read and immediately indexed via `matched_ssl.value.client` without checking whether `matched_ssl` or `matched_ssl.value` is nil. When an HTTPS request arrives without a matching custom SSL configuration in APISIX (for example, falling back to default certificates configured via Nginx directives or when connecting to an unknown SNI / IP), `ngx.ctx.matched_ssl` is `nil`. This causes a runtime crash: ```text attempt to index local 'matched_ssl' (a nil value) ``` and aborts request handling with HTTP 500. This patch adds nil guards for `matched_ssl` and `matched_ssl.value` before accessing `matched_ssl.value.client`. #### Which issue(s) this PR fixes: Fixes #14056 ### Checklist - [x] I have explained the need for this PR and the problem it solves - [x] I have explained the changes or the new features added to this PR - [x] I have added tests corresponding to this change - [ ] I have updated the documentation to reflect this change - [x] I have verified that this change is backward compatible (If not, please discuss on the [APISIX mailing list](https://github.com/apache/apisix/tree/master#community) first) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
