feat: recursive DNS + DNSSEC + TCP fallback (#17)

* feat: recursive resolution + full DNSSEC validation

Numa becomes a true DNS resolver — resolves from root nameservers
with complete DNSSEC chain-of-trust verification.

Recursive resolution:
- Iterative RFC 1034 from configurable root hints (13 default)
- CNAME chasing (depth 8), referral following (depth 10)
- A+AAAA glue extraction, IPv6 nameserver support
- TLD priming: NS + DS + DNSKEY for 34 gTLDs + EU ccTLDs
- Config: mode = "recursive" in [upstream], root_hints, prime_tlds

DNSSEC (all 4 phases):
- EDNS0 OPT pseudo-record (DO bit, 1232 payload per DNS Flag Day 2020)
- DNSKEY, DS, RRSIG, NSEC, NSEC3 record types with wire read/write
- Signature verification via ring: RSA/SHA-256, ECDSA P-256, Ed25519
- Chain-of-trust: zone DNSKEY → parent DS → root KSK (key tag 20326)
- DNSKEY RRset self-signature verification (RRSIG(DNSKEY) by KSK)
- RRSIG expiration/inception time validation
- NSEC: NXDOMAIN gap proofs, NODATA type absence, wildcard denial
- NSEC3: SHA-1 iterated hashing, closest encloser proof, hash range
- Authority RRSIG verification for denial proofs
- Config: [dnssec] enabled/strict (default false, opt-in)
- AD bit on Secure, SERVFAIL on Bogus+strict
- DnssecStatus cached per entry, ValidationStats logging

Performance:
- TLD chain pre-warmed on startup (root DNSKEY + TLD DS/DNSKEY)
- Referral DS piggybacking from authority sections
- DNSKEY prefetch before validation loop
- Cold-cache validation: ~1 DNSKEY fetch (down from 5)
- Benchmarks: RSA 10.9µs, ECDSA 174ns, DS verify 257ns

Also:
- write_qname fix for root domain "." (was producing malformed queries)
- write_record_header() dedup, write_bytes() bulk writes
- DnsRecord::domain() + query_type() accessors
- UpstreamMode enum, DEFAULT_EDNS_PAYLOAD const
- Real glue TTL (was hardcoded 3600)
- DNSSEC restricted to recursive mode only

* feat: TCP fallback, query minimization, UDP auto-disable

Transport resilience for restrictive networks (ISPs blocking UDP:53):
- DNS-over-TCP fallback: UDP fail/truncation → automatic TCP retry
- UDP auto-disable: after 3 consecutive failures, switch to TCP-first
- IPv6 → TCP directly (UDP socket binds 0.0.0.0, can't reach IPv6)
- Network change resets UDP detection for re-probing
- Root hint rotation in TLD priming

Privacy:
- RFC 7816 query minimization: root servers see TLD only, not full name

Code quality:
- Merged find_starting_ns + find_starting_zone → find_closest_ns
- Extracted resolve_ns_addrs_from_glue shared helper
- Removed overall timeout wrapper (per-hop timeouts sufficient)
- forward_tcp for DNS-over-TCP (RFC 1035 §4.2.2)

Testing:
- Mock TCP-only DNS server for fallback tests (no network needed)
- tcp_fallback_resolves_when_udp_blocked
- tcp_only_iterative_resolution
- tcp_fallback_handles_nxdomain
- udp_auto_disable_resets
- Integration test suite (4 suites, 51 tests)
- Network probe script (tests/network-probe.sh)

* feat: DNSSEC verified badge in dashboard query log

- Add dnssec field to QueryLogEntry, track validation status per query
- DnssecStatus::as_str() for API serialization
- Dashboard shows green checkmark next to DNSSEC-verified responses
- Blog post: add "How keys get there" section, transport resilience section,
  trim code blocks, update What's Next

* fix: use SVG shield for DNSSEC badge, update blog HTML

* fix: NS cache lookup from authorities, UDP re-probe, shield alignment

- find_closest_ns checks authorities (not just answers) for NS records,
  fixing TLD priming cache misses that caused redundant root queries
- Periodic UDP re-probe every 5min when disabled — re-enables UDP
  after switching from a restrictive network to an open one
- Dashboard DNSSEC shield uses fixed-width container for alignment
- Blog post: tuck key-tag into trust anchor paragraph

* fix: TCP single-write, mock server consistency, integration tests

- TCP single-write fix: combine length prefix + message to avoid split
  segments that Microsoft/Azure DNS servers reject
- Mock server (spawn_tcp_dns_server) updated to use single-write too
- Tests: forward_tcp_wire_format, forward_tcp_single_segment_write
- Integration: real-server checks for Microsoft/Office/Azure domains

* feat: recursive bar in dashboard, special-use domain interception

Dashboard:
- Add Recursive bar to resolution paths chart (cyan, distinct from Override)
- Add RECURSIVE path tag style in query log

Special-use domains (RFC 6761/6303/8880/9462):
- .localhost → 127.0.0.1 (RFC 6761)
- Private reverse PTR (10.x, 192.168.x, 172.16-31.x) → NXDOMAIN
- _dns.resolver.arpa (DDR) → NXDOMAIN
- ipv4only.arpa (NAT64) → 192.0.0.170/171
- mDNS service discovery for private ranges → NXDOMAIN

Eliminates ~900ms SERVFAILs for macOS system queries that were
hitting root servers unnecessarily.

* chore: move generated blog HTML to site/blog/posts/, gitignore

- Generated HTML now in site/blog/posts/ (gitignored)
- CI workflow runs pandoc + make blog before deploy
- Updated all internal blog links to /blog/posts/ path
- blog/*.md remains the source of truth

* fix: review feedback — memory ordering, RRSIG time, NS resolution

- Ordering::Relaxed → Acquire/Release for UDP_DISABLED/UDP_FAILURES
  (ARM correctness for cross-thread coordination)
- RRSIG time validation: serial number arithmetic (RFC 4034 §3.1.5)
  + 300s clock skew fudge factor (matches BIND)
- resolve_ns_addrs_from_glue collects addresses from ALL NS names,
  not just the first with glue (improves failover)
- is_special_use_domain: eliminate 16 format! allocations per
  .in-addr.arpa query (parse octet instead)

* feat: API endpoint tests, coverage target

- 8 new axum handler tests: health, stats, query-log, overrides CRUD,
  cache, blocking stats, services CRUD, dashboard HTML
- Tests use tower::oneshot — no network, no server startup
- test_ctx() builds minimal ServerCtx for isolated testing
- `make coverage` target (cargo-tarpaulin), separate from `make all`
- 82 total tests (was 74)
