jarl token rotate, a Rotate button in the web UI and
POST /api/v1/tokens/{id}/rotate give a token a new secret while it keeps
its ID, name, user and grants. The old secret stops at once or after a
grace period of up to 7 days, during which jarld logs who still uses it.
A token that expires gets its lifetime again. --save writes the new
secret where the CLI got the old one (its configuration or --token @FILE),
--write FILE to any file, and --current picks the token the CLI runs
with, so a restricted token can renew itself. A restricted token can't
rotate a wider token of its user.
Also fixes token create --save for named servers, and future times
(token expiry) shown as "just now" in the web UI.

- CLI: name several servers and groups in the config file; select them
with -s/--server NAME|GROUP|all|URL or JARL_SERVER. A command aimed at
several servers is dry-run on all of them first and only runs if every
one accepts it. Named servers always use their own token.
- Reverse zones: /32 and /128 get single-address zones; networks between
octet or nibble boundaries (e.g. a /22) are covered by several zones
created together, from the CLI and the web UI.
- Fix: under jarl.service's RestrictSUIDSGID, creating a view directory
failed on chmod with the setgid bit; fall back to the permission bits.
- Web UI: the review/live switch is a small header button, and the
pending-changes bar only shows when there are pending changes.
- TSIG key wording; the keys page points to restricted API tokens.
- Docs: several servers (cli.md), a secondary server (operations.md),
tokens vs TSIG keys (permissions.md); CHANGELOG.

- New zone dialog: choose Domain or Reverse zone. Reverse zones are
created from a network and their name is generated; both kinds show the
exact zone name and flag likely mistakes (addresses or URLs as names,
host-like names, duplicates in the view, parent/child zones, networks
off the octet/nibble boundaries) before anything is submitted.
- Record form: clears every field but the type after an add; shows the
record exactly as it will be stored and warns about unqualified names.
In reverse zones it takes an address, defaults to PTR, suggests host
names of A/AAAA records with that address and warns about a second PTR;
the record list shows addresses.
- Address match lists (options, view match lists, ACL elements) offer the
existing ACLs, TSIG keys and built-ins as one-click suggestions and
flag unknown names.
- Server: in reverse zones a record can be named by its address, and a
PTR target like nas.example.com without the final dot is read as the
full host name (a bare label is refused). Warnings noticed while parsing
record data reach the result again.
- Fixes: brand link hover underline, the dashboard's "New zone" link
opening the dialog twice.

Off by default (stats in jarl.yaml). When enabled, Jarl adds a loopback
statistics channel and a response log to named's configuration (merged
into existing logging/statistics-channels statements) and switches
response logging with rndc responselog, because the responselog option
only counts when named starts. jarld polls named's counters every minute
and tails the response log (resuming after restarts and across
rotation). It stores aggregates, never individual queries, in a separate
SQLite database: per-minute, hourly and daily counters (queries, result
codes, record types, views, zones, cache hits, upstream latency, DNSSEC)
and hourly/daily top lists (names, clients, NXDOMAIN and SERVFAIL names,
refused clients), each with its own retention. Clients can be anonymized
or excluded.
- Web UI: Statistics page with KPI tiles, queries and failed answers over
time, a weekday x hour heatmap, top lists and breakdowns; SVG charts
with hover/keyboard readouts, a table view and light/dark palettes
validated for colour-vision deficiency.
- CLI: jarl stats status|summary|top|timeline|heatmap|breakdown.
- API: /api/v1/stats/*, behind a new "stats" permission resource.
- jarld brings named's configuration up to date with jarl.yaml at
startup (engine.SyncConfig), never overwriting hand-edited files.
- resync now refuses to overwrite drifted files without force, as
documented.
- tmpfiles.d creates /var/log/named (allowed by named's AppArmor profile
on Debian 13 and Ubuntu).
- The e2e harness runs named with -f like the Debian unit.
- docs/stats.md, plus API, CLI, configuration, permissions and README
updates.

Jarl keeps a BIND 9.20 server's whole configuration (views, ACLs, TSIG
keys, zones of every type, records, named.conf options) in SQLite and
renders named.conf, keys.conf and zone files from it.
Every change goes through one changeset pipeline: whole-configuration
validation, named-checkconf -z and named-checkzone in a staging
directory, atomic install, rndc reconfig/reload, serial verification
with rndc zonestatus, and rollback if named does not load the change.
Changes apply one at a time by default or are bundled and applied
together. Applied changesets can be reverted.
- jarld: the daemon with the REST API and an embedded web UI, plus import,
adopt, check, resync, backup and local user recovery commands
- jarl: the CLI, including ACME DNS-01 hooks for certbot and acme.sh
- users with argon2id passwords and CSRF-protected sessions; hashed API
tokens with granular grants and roles; an audit log
- systemd unit, sysusers.d/tmpfiles.d files, Makefile
- unit tests, integration tests against a real named, scripts/e2e.sh
- docs/ guides, README and CHANGELOG
