There was a problem hiding this comment.
I was super confused by this PR until I realized that WS in Play doesn't refer to WebSockets but to "Web Services", the default HTTP client. What a terrible name. 🙃
Anyway, LGTM. Hopefully this fixes the Overpass API issue; even if it does not, defaulting to TLS v1.3 and only using v1.2 as a fallback is a better behavior for all outbound HTTP requests we make.

Overpass API endpoints have tightened their connection requirements, and outbound requests from the backend's Play WS client can fail during the TLS handshake. This sets TLS 1.3 as the WS client's preferred protocol, with TLS 1.2 still allowed as a fallback.
This is the error i was seeing and why i made the change. I didnt find anything online that said TLS requirements changed.
