DNS

DNS serves each Domain’s records as data, signs every zone with DNSSEC, and flags missing, drifted or dangling records daily.

An Agent reads what a Domain answers and changes it through a previewed Change.

Contract

ClauseTerms
RecordEach DNS Record holds DNSRecord.type, DNSRecord.name and DNSRecord.value: the declared answer.
OwnerDNSRecord.owner is platform for records that serve the Site, authenticate mail and validate certificates, or startup for every other record.
ChangesDNSRecord.set adds or changes a startup record through a Change, previewed against what the Domain answers today. A revert restores the previous answer.
RemovesDNSRecord.remove stops a startup record from answering; its history stays.
RefusesDNSRecord.set and DNSRecord.remove refuse a platform record, so no Agent takes its own Site offline.
ChecksEvery day the check reads public DNS into DNSRecord.observed and sets DNSRecord.status: ok, missing, drifted or dangling.
DanglingA dangling record points at a target that no longer answers, the opening for a subdomain takeover; Domain.verify names its fix.
SigningEvery registered Domain is signed with DNSSEC by Domain.register, and its CAA record names only the certificate authorities the platform uses.
Connected namesFor a Domain attached with Domain.connect, whose DNS sits at another host, the platform lists the records it needs and observes each one.
