Internal release evidence (NOT customer-facing)

Judge grades and ledger URNs per change. Kept out of CHANGELOG.md (DC-170 docs batch r3: the distributable changelog must stay clean).

Judging per-change is recorded in commit messages and the internal ledger. Grade lines consolidated here:

DC-171 phase 1 — BIND 9 live AXFR verification (2026-10-30)

Deploy judge r1 (dc-prod-deploy-dc171, grade D urn:ump:iesjvepuqb5poim7wu22ff4jtd5vhpw2lotfhogljemsw2h4y6vq) blocked the cutover on dig argv order (AXFR/zone swapped vs the documented dig [name] [type] contract) and demanded verification against an actual BIND 9 endpoint. Resolution (fix commit acd0352):

1. ARGV FIXED to @server -p port <zone> AXFR +options (documented order).

2. LIVE BIND 9 ENDPOINT: a real BIND 9.18.50 (Extended Support Version — the line Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 ship) was stood up in Docker (internetsystemsconsortium/bind9:9.18) on this host with zone dc171test.internal (master, allow-transfer any; SOA/NS/3xA/TXT/CNAME records). The ADAPTER'S OWN CODE PATH (real execFile dig, real parser, zero mocks) ran listRecords({zone:'dc171test.internal'}):

   BIND 9 LIVE AXFR VIA ADAPTER — SUCCESS zone: dc171test.internal | count: 7 dc171test.internal. 300 SOA ns1.dc171test.internal. admin.dc171test.internal. 2026102901 3600 900 604800 300 dc171test.internal. 300 NS ns1.dc171test.internal. app.dc171test.internal. 300 A 192.0.2.10 db.dc171test.internal. 300 A 192.0.2.20 ns1.dc171test.internal. 300 A 192.0.2.53 txt.dc171test.internal. 300 TXT "dc171 live verification" www.dc171test.internal. 300 CNAME app.dc171test.internal. types: SOA,NS,A,TXT,CNAME

   named.log: zone dc171test.internal/IN: loaded serial 2026102901. The same check against the production Technitium server (100.121.150.22, zone sami) returned 48 records (SOA/A/NS, real fleet names) — the AXFR path works across both server implementations; BIND is the judge-required one and is satisfied above. Older-dig (9.11–9.16) leniency could not be reproduced in-container (bullseye security mirrors currently 404); the shipped argv follows the documented positional contract on ALL dig versions, which is the portable form.

3. Suites at acd0352: DNS parity 23/23; full backend 174/3754; frontend 68/68.

Production gate record (this deploy)

• Deploy tree HEAD at gate time: 1747c23 (dc167-deploy2 = 9f5e97c + the DC-171 batch); production rollback target: 9f5e97c (current prod HEAD).
• Rollback = TWO operations: cd /opt/dashcaddy && git reset --hard 9f5e97c AND systemctl restart dashcaddy-api.
• Bundles at gate time: SW cache dashcaddy-shell-b87d8c8095, CSP hash sha256-LqwtGSCiBtjq9Bnb5wA3kQFrFRgZWtDWcswiK656gEk= (unchanged).
• Test log paths: full backend suite run in /root/dashcaddy/dashcaddy-api (174 suites / 3754 tests at acd0352); frontend runner npm test in /root/dashcaddy/status (68/68); deploy-tree DNS parity 23/23 (jest tests/dns in /opt/dashcaddy/dashcaddy-api).
