DNS and lifecycle

Creating a domain returns the expected records in dns_records. A subdomain receives a CNAME to the edge; an apex receives the stable edge IPv4 A addresses.

Normal lifecycle

Status Meaning
pending_dns Expected records are not visible yet
validating DNS is detected and validation has started
provisioning The certificate and route are being published
active DNS, certificate, and routing are operational

Secondary states are misconfigured, failed, suspended, and deleting. A route is published only after certificate validation; unknown domains receive 421.
