+"""Minimal authoritative DNS server for canary tokens (stdlib only).
+
+We don't need a full resolver — only enough to:
+
+1. Decode an inbound query's qname.
+2. If the qname matches ``<slug>.<canary_zone>``, log the callback,
+   publish ``canary.<token_id>.triggered`` on the bus, and return a
+   plausible A record (any RFC-5737 reserved address would do; we
+   use 192.0.2.1) so the attacker's resolver doesn't loop on
+   NXDOMAIN.
+3. For unknown qnames return NXDOMAIN.
+
+DNS-over-UDP wire format is well-trodden: 12-byte header + name
+labels + qtype + qclass.  We implement just the bits we need.
+
+This module deliberately avoids the ``dnslib`` PyPI package so the
+canary worker has no extra dependency surface.  If we ever need
+EDNS0, DNSSEC, or other niceties we'll swap to dnslib then.

+"""``decnet canary`` worker — HTTP + DNS callback receivers.
+
+Two surfaces, one process:
+
+* **HTTP** — a tiny FastAPI app on its own port (default 8088).  The
+  only useful route is ``GET /c/{slug}`` which looks up the slug in
+  the canary token table, persists a :class:`CanaryTrigger` row,
+  publishes ``canary.<token_id>.triggered`` on the bus, and returns
+  a 1×1 transparent GIF (or 204 if the client's ``Accept`` doesn't
+  list any image type).
+* **DNS** — an authoritative UDP server (default 5353 if non-root,
+  53 if root) for ``*.<canary_zone>``.  Same lookup + persist +
+  publish flow, plus a sinkhole A record so the attacker's resolver
+  doesn't loop on NXDOMAIN.
+
+Both surfaces are **stealth** by policy
+(:mod:`feedback_stealth`): no DECNET strings in headers / banners /
+error pages.  The HTTP app strips the default ``Server: uvicorn``
+header in middleware; FastAPI's docs/openapi UI is disabled because
+discovering them would tip off the attacker that this is a honeypot.
+
+The worker is supervised by its own systemd unit
+(``decnet-canary.service``); like every other DECNET worker, it
+crashes loudly rather than masking failures.

+"""HTTP surface coverage for the canary worker.
+
+We exercise the FastAPI app via Starlette's TestClient so the test
+doesn't need a real socket. Asserts:
+
+* ``GET /c/{slug}`` for a known slug returns 200 + image/gif, persists
+  a trigger row, bumps the token's counters, and publishes
+  ``canary.<token_id>.triggered`` on the bus.
+* ``GET /c/{slug}`` for an unknown slug returns the same 200 (stealth)
+  but persists nothing.
+* The Server header is rewritten to a generic value (``nginx``).
+* Bare root returns 404.
+* X-Forwarded-For is honored.
