Automated excerpt

Automatic Key Exchange finds what your origin supports. If X25519MLKEM768 is unavailable, Cloudflare continues using a compatible classical key agreement and can still avoid unnecessary HelloRetryRequest round trips by learning which one your origin prefers. However, Automatic Key Exchange can only prefer post-quantum connections when your origin server already supports the key agreement algorithm. The connection between cloudflared and Cloudflare already uses post-quantum key agreement.
