jarld can now answer lego's httpreq DNS provider
(POST /api/v1/acme/httpreq/present and /cleanup), so lego and Traefik
publish DNS-01 challenges with only environment variables, without the
jarl CLI. lego's username and API token arrive as HTTP Basic auth,
accepted on these routes only.
The endpoint is off by default (acme.httpreq.enabled) and HTTPS-only by
default: jarld's own TLS, or a trusted proxy that says so with
X-Forwarded-Proto or Forwarded (the last value counts). Plain HTTP can be
allowed from loopback only or everywhere. GET /api/v1/acme/httpreq shows
how jarld sees a request, to check a proxy setup.
jarl acme and the endpoint share their code in internal/acme. Documented
in docs/acme.md, configuration.md, api.md and permissions.md.

contrib/lego/jarl-lego.sh turns lego's "present|cleanup FQDN VALUE" calls
into jarl acme set|unset --exact, so lego (and CNAME delegation to a
dedicated ACME zone) works with Jarl. docs/acme.md explains the setup.

Add the logo, a Viking jarl drawn like a woodcut whose spear-pointed crown
holds a DNS tree. It is generated by scripts/logo.py, which mirrors the
left half so the figure is exactly symmetrical, as logo.svg (white on a
Nordic-blue disc) and logo-white.svg. It links home in the header, sits on
the login page and is the favicon.
The login page shows an angular "JARL" wordmark drawn as SVG paths over a
rule with a "DNS" node, coloured from the theme. The header's "Jarl" uses
a self-hosted Cinzel Bold subset (SIL OFL); jarld serves .woff2 as
font/woff2.

- 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 zone list showed only primary zones. zone create binds its --type
flag (default "primary") to the same variable as list's --type, so the
default leaked into the list filter and hid hint, secondary and forward
zones. list now has its own variable. TestListQueries runs list
commands against a fake server and checks the filters they send.
- named-checkconf/named-checkzone messages are classified by the tool's
exit code: on success, everything printed is a warning. Warnings such
as 'both "recursion no;" and "allow-recursion" active' were shown as
errors. The CLI, jarld check and the web UI now label them as warnings
and skip the routine "loaded serial" lines.
- The zone_outside_view error points at --adopt-zones.
- docs/views.md: step-by-step split DNS for a server that has no views
yet, tested on a copy of a stock Ubuntu 26.04 setup. Linked from the
README, concepts and validation docs.

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
