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.

- 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.

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
