+# Azure DNS Provider Setup
+
+## Overview
+
+Azure DNS is Microsoft's cloud-based DNS hosting service that provides name resolution using Microsoft Azure infrastructure. This guide covers setting up Azure DNS as a provider in Charon for wildcard certificate management.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Azure subscription (pay-as-you-go or Enterprise Agreement)
+- Azure DNS zone created for your domain
+- Domain nameservers pointing to Azure DNS
+- Permissions to create App registrations in Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD)
+- Permissions to assign roles in Azure RBAC
+
+## Step 1: Gather Azure Subscription Information
+
+1. Log in to the [Azure Portal](https://portal.azure.com/)
+2. Navigate to **Subscriptions**
+3. Note your **Subscription ID** (e.g., `12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc`)
+4. Navigate to **Resource groups**
+5. Note the **Resource group name** containing your DNS zone
+
+> **Tip:** You can find this information in the DNS zone overview page as well.
+
+## Step 2: Verify DNS Zone Configuration
+
+Ensure your domain is properly configured in Azure DNS:
+
+1. Navigate to **DNS zones**
+2. Select your DNS zone
+3. Note the **Azure nameservers** listed (typically 4 servers like `ns1-01.azure-dns.com`)
+4. Verify your domain registrar is configured to use these nameservers
+
+<!-- Screenshot placeholder: Azure DNS zone overview showing nameservers -->
+
+## Step 3: Create App Registration in Microsoft Entra ID
+
+Create an application identity for Charon:
+
+1. Navigate to **Microsoft Entra ID** (formerly Azure Active Directory)
+2. Select **App registrations** from the left menu
+3. Click **New registration**
+4. Configure the application:
+   - **Name:** `charon-dns-challenge`
+   - **Supported account types:** Select **Accounts in this organizational directory only**
+   - **Redirect URI:** Leave blank (not needed for service-to-service auth)
+5. Click **Register**
+
+### Note Application Details
+
+After registration, note the following from the **Overview** page:
+
+- **Application (client) ID:** `xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx`

+<!-- Screenshot placeholder: App registration overview showing client and tenant IDs -->
+
+## Step 4: Create Client Secret
+
+1. In your app registration, navigate to **Certificates & secrets**
+2. Click **New client secret**
+3. Configure the secret:
+   - **Description:** `Charon DNS Challenge`
+   - **Expires:** Choose an expiration period (recommended: 12 months or 24 months)
+4. Click **Add**
+5. **Copy the secret value immediately** (shown only once)
+
+> **Warning:** The client secret value is displayed only once. Copy it now and store it securely. If you lose it, you'll need to create a new secret.
+
+### Secret Expiration Management
+
+| Expiration | Use Case |
+|------------|----------|
+| 6 months | Development/testing environments |
+| 12 months | Production with regular rotation schedule |
+| 24 months | Production with less frequent rotation |
+| Custom | Enterprise requirements |
+
+## Step 5: Assign DNS Zone Contributor Role
+
+Grant the app registration permission to manage DNS records:
+
+1. Navigate to your **DNS zone**
+2. Select **Access control (IAM)** from the left menu
+3. Click **Add** → **Add role assignment**
+4. In the **Role** tab:
+   - Search for **DNS Zone Contributor**
+   - Select **DNS Zone Contributor**
+   - Click **Next**
+5. In the **Members** tab:
+   - Select **User, group, or service principal**
+   - Click **Select members**
+   - Search for `charon-dns-challenge`
+   - Select the app registration
+   - Click **Select**
+6. Click **Review + assign**
+7. Click **Review + assign** again to confirm
+
+> **Note:** Role assignments may take a few minutes to propagate.
+
+### Required Permissions
+
+The **DNS Zone Contributor** role includes:
+
+| Permission | Purpose |
+|------------|---------|
+| `Microsoft.Network/dnsZones/read` | Read DNS zone configuration |
+| `Microsoft.Network/dnsZones/TXT/read` | Read TXT records |
+| `Microsoft.Network/dnsZones/TXT/write` | Create/update TXT records |
+| `Microsoft.Network/dnsZones/TXT/delete` | Delete TXT records |
+| `Microsoft.Network/dnsZones/recordsets/read` | List DNS record sets |
+
+> **Security Note:** For tighter security, you can create a custom role with only the permissions listed above.
+
+## Step 6: Configure in Charon
+
+1. Navigate to **DNS Providers** in Charon
+2. Click **Add Provider**
+3. Fill in the form:
+   - **Provider Type:** Select `Azure DNS`
+   - **Name:** Enter a descriptive name (e.g., "Azure DNS - Production")

+   - **Client ID:** Paste the Application (client) ID from Step 3
+   - **Client Secret:** Paste the secret value from Step 4
+   - **Subscription ID:** Paste the Subscription ID from Step 1
+   - **Resource Group:** Enter the resource group name containing your DNS zone
+
+### Configuration Fields Summary
+
+| Field | Description | Example |
+|-------|-------------|---------|
+| **Tenant ID** | Microsoft Entra ID tenant identifier | `12345678-1234-5678-9abc-123456789abc` |
+| **Client ID** | App registration application ID | `abcdef12-3456-7890-abcd-ef1234567890` |
+| **Client Secret** | App registration secret value | `abc123~XYZ...` |
+| **Subscription ID** | Azure subscription identifier | `98765432-1234-5678-9abc-987654321abc` |
+| **Resource Group** | Resource group containing DNS zone | `rg-dns-production` |
+
+### Advanced Settings (Optional)
+
+Expand **Advanced Settings** to customize:
+
+- **Propagation Timeout:** `120` seconds (Azure DNS propagates quickly)
+- **Polling Interval:** `10` seconds (default)
+- **Set as Default:** Enable if this is your primary DNS provider
+
+## Step 7: Test Connection
+
+1. Click **Test Connection** button
+2. Wait for validation (usually 5-10 seconds)
+3. Verify you see: ✅ **Connection successful**
+
+The test verifies:
+- Credentials are valid
+- App registration has required permissions
+- DNS zone is accessible
+- Azure DNS API is reachable
+
+If the test fails, see [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) below.
+
+## Step 8: Save Configuration
+
+Click **Save** to store the DNS provider configuration. All credentials are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM.
+
+## Step 9: Use with Wildcard Certificates
+
+When creating a proxy host with a wildcard domain:
+
+1. Navigate to **Proxy Hosts** → **Add Proxy Host**
+2. Enter a wildcard domain: `*.example.com`
+3. Select **Azure DNS** from the DNS Provider dropdown
+4. Configure remaining settings
+5. Save
+
+Charon will automatically obtain a wildcard certificate using DNS-01 challenge.
+
+## Example Configuration
+
+```yaml
+Provider Type: azure
+Name: Azure DNS - example.com
+Tenant ID: 12345678-1234-5678-9abc-123456789abc
+Client ID: abcdef12-3456-7890-abcd-ef1234567890
+Client Secret: ****************************************
+Subscription ID: 98765432-1234-5678-9abc-987654321abc
+Resource Group: rg-dns-production
+Propagation Timeout: 120 seconds
+Polling Interval: 10 seconds
+Default: Yes
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Connection Test Fails
+
+**Error:** `Invalid credentials` or `AADSTS7000215: Invalid client secret`
+
+- Verify the client secret was copied correctly
+- Check the secret hasn't expired
+- Ensure no extra whitespace was added
+- Create a new client secret if necessary
+
+**Error:** `AADSTS700016: Application not found`
+
+- Verify the Client ID is correct
+- Ensure the app registration exists in the correct tenant
+- Check the Tenant ID matches your organization
+
+**Error:** `AADSTS90002: Tenant not found`
+
+- Verify the Tenant ID is correct
+- Ensure you're using the correct Azure environment (public vs. government)
+
+**Error:** `Authorization failed` or `Forbidden`
+
+- Verify the DNS Zone Contributor role is assigned
+- Check the role is assigned at the DNS zone level
+- Wait a few minutes for role assignment propagation
+- Verify the resource group name is correct
+
+**Error:** `Resource group not found`
+
+- Check the resource group name spelling (case-sensitive)
+- Ensure the resource group exists in the specified subscription
+- Verify the subscription ID is correct
+
+**Error:** `DNS zone not found`
+
+- Verify the DNS zone exists in the resource group
+- Check the domain matches the DNS zone name
+- Ensure the app has access to the subscription
+
+### Certificate Issuance Fails
+
+**Error:** `DNS propagation timeout`
+
+- Azure DNS typically propagates in 30-60 seconds
+- Increase Propagation Timeout to 180 seconds
+- Verify nameservers are correctly configured with your registrar
+- Check Azure Status page for service issues
+
+**Error:** `Record creation failed`
+
+- Verify app registration has DNS Zone Contributor role
+- Check for existing `_acme-challenge` TXT records that may conflict
+- Review Charon logs for detailed API errors
+
+**Error:** `Rate limit exceeded`
+
+- Azure DNS has API rate limits per subscription
+- Increase Polling Interval to reduce API calls
+- Contact Azure support to increase limits if needed
+
+### Nameserver Propagation
+
+**Issue:** DNS changes not visible globally
+
+- Nameserver changes can take 24-48 hours to propagate
+- Use [DNS Checker](https://dnschecker.org/) to verify global propagation
+- Verify your registrar shows Azure DNS nameservers
+- Wait for full propagation before attempting certificate issuance
+
+### Client Secret Expiration
+
+**Issue:** Certificates stop renewing
+
+- Client secrets have expiration dates
+- Set calendar reminders before expiration
+- Create new secret and update Charon configuration before expiry
+- Consider using Managed Identities for Azure-hosted Charon deployments
+
+## Security Recommendations
+
+1. **Dedicated App Registration:** Create a separate app registration for Charon
+2. **Least Privilege:** Use DNS Zone Contributor role (not broader roles)
+3. **Secret Rotation:** Rotate client secrets before expiration (every 6-12 months)
+4. **Conditional Access:** Consider conditional access policies for the app
+5. **Audit Logging:** Enable Azure Activity Log for DNS operations
+6. **Private Endpoints:** Use private endpoints if Charon runs in Azure
+7. **Managed Identity:** Use Managed Identity if Charon is hosted in Azure (eliminates secrets)
+8. **Monitor Sign-ins:** Review app sign-in logs in Microsoft Entra ID
+
+## Client Secret Rotation
+
+To rotate the client secret:
+
+1. Navigate to your app registration → **Certificates & secrets**
+2. Create a new client secret
+3. Update the configuration in Charon with the new secret
+4. Test the connection to verify the new secret works
+5. Delete the old secret from the Azure portal
+
+> **Best Practice:** Create the new secret before the old one expires to avoid downtime.
+
+## Using Azure CLI for Verification (Optional)
+
+Test configuration before adding to Charon:
+
+```bash
+# Login with service principal
+az login --service-principal \
+  --username CLIENT_ID \
+  --password CLIENT_SECRET \
+  --tenant TENANT_ID
+
+# Set subscription
+az account set --subscription SUBSCRIPTION_ID
+
+# List DNS zones
+az network dns zone list \
+  --resource-group RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME
+
+# Test record creation
+az network dns record-set txt add-record \
+  --resource-group RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME \
+  --zone-name example.com \
+  --record-set-name _acme-challenge-test \
+  --value "test-value"
+
+# Clean up test record
+az network dns record-set txt remove-record \
+  --resource-group RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME \
+  --zone-name example.com \
+  --record-set-name _acme-challenge-test \
+  --value "test-value"
+```
+
+## Using Managed Identity (Azure-Hosted Charon)
+
+If Charon runs in Azure (VM, Container Instance, AKS), consider using Managed Identity:
+
+1. Enable System-assigned managed identity on your Azure resource
+2. Assign **DNS Zone Contributor** role to the managed identity
+3. Configure Charon to use managed identity authentication (no secrets needed)
+
+> **Benefits:** No client secrets to manage, automatic credential rotation, enhanced security.
+
+## Azure DNS Limitations
+
+- **Zone-scoped permissions only:** Cannot restrict to specific record types within a zone
+- **No private DNS support:** Charon requires public DNS for ACME challenges
+- **Regional availability:** Azure DNS is a global service, no regional selection needed
+- **Billing:** Azure DNS charges per zone and per million queries
+
+## Cost Considerations
+
+Azure DNS pricing (approximate):
+
+- **Hosted zones:** ~$0.50/month per zone
+- **DNS queries:** ~$0.40 per million queries
+
+Certificate challenges generate minimal queries (<100 per certificate issuance).

+- Cloud DNS API is accessible
+
+If the test fails, see [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) below.
+
+## Step 8: Save Configuration
+
+Click **Save** to store the DNS provider configuration. Credentials are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM.
+
+## Step 9: Use with Wildcard Certificates
+
+When creating a proxy host with a wildcard domain:
+
+1. Navigate to **Proxy Hosts** → **Add Proxy Host**
+2. Enter a wildcard domain: `*.example.com`
+3. Select **Google Cloud DNS** from the DNS Provider dropdown
+4. Configure remaining settings
+5. Save

+Service Account JSON: {"type":"service_account",...}
+Propagation Timeout: 120 seconds
+Polling Interval: 10 seconds
+Default: Yes
+```
+
+## Required Permissions
+
+The service account needs the following Cloud DNS permissions:
+
+| Permission | Purpose |
+|------------|---------|
+| `dns.changes.create` | Create DNS record changes |
+| `dns.changes.get` | Check status of DNS changes |
+| `dns.managedZones.list` | List available DNS zones |
+| `dns.resourceRecordSets.create` | Create TXT records for ACME challenges |
+| `dns.resourceRecordSets.delete` | Clean up TXT records after validation |
+| `dns.resourceRecordSets.list` | List existing DNS records |
+| `dns.resourceRecordSets.update` | Update DNS records if needed |
+
+> **Note:** The **DNS Administrator** role includes all these permissions. For fine-grained control, create a custom role.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Connection Test Fails
+
+**Error:** `Invalid service account JSON`
+
+- Verify the entire JSON content was pasted correctly
+- Ensure no extra whitespace or line breaks were added
+- Check the JSON is valid (use a JSON validator)
+- Re-download the key file and try again
+
+**Error:** `Project not found` or `Project mismatch`
+
+- Verify the Project ID matches the project in the service account JSON
+- Check the `project_id` field in the JSON matches your input
+- Ensure the project exists and is active
+
+**Error:** `Permission denied` or `Forbidden`
+
+- Verify the service account has the DNS Administrator role
+- Check the role is assigned at the project level
+- Ensure Cloud DNS API is enabled
+- Wait a few minutes after role assignment (propagation delay)
+
+**Error:** `API not enabled`
+
+- Navigate to APIs & Services → Library
+- Search for and enable Cloud DNS API
+- Wait 2-3 minutes for activation
+
+### Certificate Issuance Fails
+
+**Error:** `DNS propagation timeout`
+
+- Cloud DNS typically propagates in 30-60 seconds
+- Increase Propagation Timeout to 180 seconds
+- Verify nameservers are correctly configured with your registrar
+- Check Google Cloud Status page for service issues
+
+**Error:** `Zone not found`
+
+- Ensure the DNS zone exists in Cloud DNS
+- Verify the domain matches the zone's DNS name
+- Check the service account has access to the zone
+
+**Error:** `Record creation failed`
+
+- Check for existing `_acme-challenge` TXT records that may conflict
+- Verify service account permissions
+- Review Charon logs for detailed API errors
+
+### Nameserver Propagation
+
+**Issue:** DNS changes not visible globally
+
+- Nameserver changes can take 24-48 hours to propagate globally
+- Use [DNS Checker](https://dnschecker.org/) to verify propagation
+- Verify your registrar shows Google Cloud DNS nameservers
+- Wait for full propagation before attempting certificate issuance
+
+### Rate Limiting
+
+Google Cloud DNS API quotas:
+
+- 10,000 queries per day (default)
+- 1,000 changes per day (default)
+- Certificate challenges typically use <20 requests
+
+If you hit limits:
+
+- Request quota increase via Google Cloud Console
+- Reduce frequency of certificate renewals
+- Contact Google Cloud support for production workloads
+
+## Security Recommendations
+
+1. **Dedicated Service Account:** Create a separate service account for Charon
+2. **Least Privilege:** Use a custom role with only required permissions
+3. **Key Rotation:** Rotate service account keys every 90 days
+4. **Key Security:** Store JSON key in a secrets manager, never in version control
+5. **Audit Logging:** Enable Cloud Audit Logs for DNS API calls
+6. **VPC Service Controls:** Consider using VPC Service Controls for additional security
+7. **Disable Unused Keys:** Delete old keys immediately after rotation
+
+## Service Account Key Rotation
+
+To rotate the service account key:
+
+1. Create a new key following Step 4
+2. Update the configuration in Charon with the new JSON
+3. Test the connection to verify the new key works
+4. Delete the old key from the GCP console
+
+```bash
+# Using gcloud CLI (optional)
+# List existing keys
+gcloud iam service-accounts keys list \
+  --iam-account=charon-dns-challenge@PROJECT_ID.iam.gserviceaccount.com
+
+# Create new key
+gcloud iam service-accounts keys create new-key.json \
+  --iam-account=charon-dns-challenge@PROJECT_ID.iam.gserviceaccount.com
+
+# Delete old key (after updating Charon)
+gcloud iam service-accounts keys delete KEY_ID \
+  --iam-account=charon-dns-challenge@PROJECT_ID.iam.gserviceaccount.com
+```
+
+## gcloud CLI Verification (Optional)
+
+Test credentials before adding to Charon:
+
+```bash
+# Activate service account
+gcloud auth activate-service-account \
+  --key-file=/path/to/service-account-key.json
+
+# Set project
+gcloud config set project YOUR_PROJECT_ID
+
+# List DNS zones
+gcloud dns managed-zones list
+
+# Test record creation (creates and deletes a test TXT record)
+gcloud dns record-sets create test-acme-challenge.example.com. \
+  --zone=your-zone-name \
+  --type=TXT \
+  --ttl=60 \
+  --rrdatas='"test-value"'
+
+# Clean up test record
+gcloud dns record-sets delete test-acme-challenge.example.com. \
+  --zone=your-zone-name \
+  --type=TXT

-# SSRF Remediation Plan (Index)
+# Charon Feature & Remediation Tracker

-This file is intentionally SSRF-focused only.
+**Last Updated:** January 3, 2026
+
+This document serves as the central index for all active plans, implementation specs, and outstanding work items.
+
+---
+
+## 1. SSRF Remediation
+
+**Status:** 🔴 IN PROGRESS

 The authoritative, Supervisor-updated SSRF plan is:

- [docs/plans/ssrf-remediation.md](docs/plans/ssrf-remediation.md)
+- [docs/plans/ssrf-remediation.md](ssrf-remediation.md)

-## Merge policy (Supervisor requirement)
+### Merge Policy (Supervisor requirement)

 - The global CodeQL exclusion for `go/request-forgery` in
-  [.github/codeql/codeql-config.yml](.github/codeql/codeql-config.yml) must be removed
+  [.github/codeql/codeql-config.yml](../../.github/codeql/codeql-config.yml) must be removed
  in the same PR/merge as the underlying SSRF fixes.
 - Phase 0 can include local-only recon (e.g., temporary local edit of CodeQL config to
  surface findings), but must not be a mergeable intermediate state.
