New metrics: section (enabled, listen, allow, token). /metrics is served on
the main listeners, the local socket (root and jarld's user) and optional
metrics-only addresses; a scrape needs an allowed address or the bearer
token. Exports health (named up, problems, drift, backups, blocklists,
DNSSEC phases, token expiry) and, with stats on, named's and Jarl's query
counters since jarld started plus named's process and cache gauges.
docs/metrics.md has example queries and alerts checked with promtool.

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.

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
