Contributions summary:Will primarily focused on enhancing the `kt` command-line tool by implementing certificate options for secure Kafka communication. Their work involved adding command-line flags and related configurations for `tlsCA`, `tlsCert`, and `tlsCertKey` across multiple commands (consume, produce, group, and topic). They also addressed a code formatting issue related to newline characters, and then subsequently reverted, and re-applied the fix in the test code.
