📋 Decision Context

Question:

How to resolve vitto-api.gograb.space DNS not resolving despite CNAME being configured?

Task: Session 100: DNS verification handoff for Vitto deployment

🎯 Decision Made

Chosen:

Add CNAME record to Cloudflare DNS dashboard (authoritative nameservers for gograb.space)

Options Considered:

1. Fix cPanel CNAME record
2. Add CNAME to Cloudflare (authoritative DNS)
3. Switch nameservers back to cPanel
4. Use Railway generated domain instead of custom domain

💭 Reasoning

dig gograb.space NS shows kara.ns.cloudflare.com and colin.ns.cloudflare.com as authoritative nameservers. The CNAME was created in cPanel which is completely ignored when Cloudflare is authoritative. Railway shows 'Waiting for DNS update' because it can't verify the CNAME against Cloudflare. Existing API subdomains (api, ai-api, docs-api) are all configured in Cloudflare with Proxied mode and work. Handoff created to cowork browser agent to fix this in Cloudflare dashboard and verify all infrastructure post-migration.
