one section, not two. a provider serves many domains so the lists differ, but a
person thinks in DOMAINS — the provider is something the check discovers, and a
key only matters as the answer to "can officer do anything for THIS domain".
two tabs would make somebody hold that join in their head, and the providers
tab would be two rows most of the time. so the key is entered from the row that
needs one and stored against its provider: add it for one cloudflare domain and
every other cloudflare domain turns green at once.
THE CHECK runs before you commit, because its answer is usually the reason you
would or would not add it, and a list of unchecked rows is a list somebody has
to remember to revisit.
it reports five verdicts, not two, and the extra three are the interesting
ones. `private` — atelier.officer.dev resolves to 100.64.x, which is CORRECT
and reads as broken against any public-IP comparison. `unknown` — we could not
establish our own address, so "is that us" has no answer and saying so beats a
confident wrong one. `nowhere` — a name bought ten minutes ago. plus
maybeProxied, because a cloudflare domain resolving to cloudflare is a working
setup rather than a misconfiguration.
NS gives the DNS HOST, not the registrar. officer.dev is godaddy on both counts
here, but a domain bought at godaddy and delegated to cloudflare answers
cloudflare — and that is the one that matters, since its API is what places an
ACME challenge. the UI says so where it would otherwise be read as wrong.
only an apex has NS records, so the lookup walks up to find them. verified
live: platform.officer.dev now answers godaddy instead of nothing.
CREDENTIALS are keyed on the provider, encrypted under this plugin's purpose
key, never returned by any route. scope is narrow|broad and NOT read|write —
DNS-01 works by WRITING a TXT record, so no read-only key can ever issue a
certificate, and offering one would produce a setup that looks configured and
fails at the first renewal sixty days later. the dialog says that out loud.
the form is generated from NPM's own dns-providers template, so the field names
are the provider's and it stays right for providers we have never heard of.
the routes live under /_config, which the manifest already marks ownerOnly: a
DNS key can rewrite every record for a domain, which is strictly more than the
NPM login kept there, and declaring it once beats checking it twice.
tables verified by query rather than by db:push's exit code.

the order is a claim about what people come here for: proxy hosts,
certificates, streams, then the rest. this file argued the opposite yesterday
— "NPM's words in NPM's order" — and half of that was wrong. the VOCABULARY is
worth keeping, because somebody will end up in NPM's UI eventually and better
names just mean learning both. the ORDER is an accident of how NPM grew, and
reproducing it gives up the one thing a plugin is for.
and two new entries, listed and not built: Domains, and DNS Providers. they sit
below a line, with Connection, because they are OFFICER's own rather than
things NPM owns — what it knows about your domains, and the registrar keys it
holds.
shown rather than hidden on purpose. a nav that shows them says what this is
FOR, including to whoever opens it in six months wondering what was decided.
the pane says plainly that it does not exist and then what it will be — "not
built" alone reads as an error, a description alone reads as something broken,
and together they read as a plan.
the planned check runs BEFORE the connection check: "you have not connected
NPM" is not why Domains is empty, and would be a misleading thing to be told.

an agent deleted two proxy hosts and both stayed on screen. the person had the
answer in the transcript and a stale list six inches above it — which is the
one thing a chat beside a list has to get right, and the reason it is beside
the list at all.
so the chat panel bumps the refresh channel when a turn ran tools, and every
section re-reads. gated on hadToolCalls: a turn that only talked changed
nothing, and re-reading after every sentence would put six requests behind
every reply.
the channel is renamed with it. it was proxy-manager:connection-changed, named
after its only publisher; it has two now and the second is the bigger one, so
it says what it MEANS — something at NPM changed, read it again.

two fixed panels could show two of NPM's seven sections and had nowhere to put
the other five. now the left column is the section list — proxy hosts,
redirections, streams, 404 hosts, access lists, certificates, connection — and
the right renders whichever is chosen.
NPM's own vocabulary, in NPM's own order. somebody who has used it should find
the same words, and somebody who has not will end up in NPM's UI eventually
anyway; better names would just mean learning both. "404 hosts" reads oddly and
is theirs, so the hint under it says what it means.
the two panels never speak. the nav writes ?section= and the detail pane reads
it — navigation-audit's rule, and it is what makes a section linkable and
survive a reload. changing section clears ?host=, which belonged to the list
that was open.
three things folded up while doing it. the unconfigured check moved to the
detail pane and happens once, so all seven sections say "no connection yet" the
same way instead of six saying it badly. the settings gear is gone: connection
is a nav row now. and the four list-only sections are one component, differing
only in what a row says — proxy hosts and certificates stay separate because
they have real behaviour, and folding them in would be a props bag that is a
worse version of both.
the counts in the nav are one request each. affordable against a local NPM, and
they answer "is this worth opening" without a click. a count that fails is
absent rather than zero — zero is a fact about NPM, a failure is a fact about
the request, and the detail pane reports that properly.
