Task List (Prioritized)

  1. T01 – Fix DNS compressed-name parsing regression — Address issue #26 in Dns/DnsProtocol/DnsMessage and add regression tests to ensure compliant decoding/encoding under RFC 1035.
  2. T02 – Authoritative response verification suite — Added dnstest integration coverage that boots dns-cli with deterministic zone/config assets to assert AA/RA/SOA flags, TTL stability, and NXDOMAIN authority responses (run via dotnet test csharp-dns-server.sln).
  3. T03 – Implement RFC 2308-compliant caching — Extend DnsServer/DnsCache to honor positive/negative TTLs, flush stale entries, and cover with tests (issue #15).
  4. T04 – Harden SmartZoneResolver concurrency — Ensure zone reloads and address dispensers are thread-safe and resilient to null/empty provider updates.
  5. T05 – Health-probe simulation tests — Build deterministic tests for Dns/ZoneProvider/IPProbe strategies to guarantee consistent handling of latency/timeouts.
  6. T06 – Migrate to Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection — Replace Ninject usage in Dns/Program.cs and related projects with built-in DI, updating configuration wiring accordingly.
  7. T07 – Upgrade solution to .NET 8 — Move all projects to net8.0, update dependencies, and validate builds/tests across Windows/Linux.
  8. T08 – Instrument DNS & HTTP surfaces (OpenTelemetry-ready) — Add metrics/tracing hooks (without bundling collectors) so operators can export via OTLP (issue #16).
  9. T09 – Fix CA2241 format warning — Update the logging call in Dns/DnsServer.cs (line 250) to use the correct string-format arguments so builds are warning-free.
  10. T10 – Secure HTTP admin surface — Provide configuration for bindings/authz and document operational guidance to avoid exposing diagnostic endpoints unintentionally.
  11. T11 – Complete BIND zone provider — Implement parsing logic for Dns/ZoneProvider/Bind, supporting $ORIGIN, $TTL, and core record types (addresses “Static Zone declaration file” issue #1).
  12. T12 – Add dynamic configuration providers — Introduce REST/service-backed configuration sources with validation and hot reload pipelines (issues #7/#8/#19).
  13. T13 – Implement parental/time-based/MAC policies — Deliver requested zone behaviors (issues #3/#4/#9) leveraging the SmartZoneResolver framework.
  14. T14 – Extend health probes (HTTP/TCP) — Add richer probe strategies with retries/weights within the IPProbe provider.
  15. T15 – Enhance HTTP operational UX — Replace HTML dumps with JSON/metrics endpoints and improvements requested in issue #25.
  16. T16 – Trace logging tools — Implement structured trace logging and tooling per issue #10.
  17. T17 – Implement BitPacker.Write — Complete the BitPacker.Write implementation and accompanying tests (issue #11).
  18. T18 – Windows/NT service packaging — Add installers/scripts so the server can run as a Windows service (issue #5).
  19. T19 – DNSSEC support — Add foundational DNSSEC record handling and validation paths (issue #2).
  20. T20 – Documented static zone workflow — Provide a simple static zone declaration option (issue #1) for setups that don’t rely on the BIND parser.
  21. T21 – Fix AppVeyor build configuration — Repair appveyor.yml so CI restores/builds/tests the .NET solution using the current SDK/runtime matrix.
  22. T22 – Add GitHub Actions CI pipeline — Introduce a workflow under .github/workflows/ that restores, builds, and tests the solution on Windows/Linux runners aligned with PR gating guidance.
  23. T23 – Correct IPv4 RDATA endianness (Critical) — Fix ANameRData.Parse so addresses parsed from wire format are not byte-swapped before being forwarded to clients; add regression tests.
  24. T24 – Stabilize UDP listener shutdown & endpoint capture (High) — Refactored Dns/UdpListener with cancellation-aware start/stop behavior, per-packet endpoint cloning, and new tests ensuring clean shutdown plus correct response routing.
  25. T25 – Support larger UDP payloads (Medium) — Increase UdpListener buffer sizing and/or detect truncated packets so EDNS-sized responses don’t silently corrupt parsing.
  26. T26 – Allow full 8-bit DNS labels (Medium) — Relax DnsProtocol.ReadString ASCII enforcement in line with RFC 2181 so internationalized/underscored names don’t throw.
  27. T27 – Refresh VS Code launch/tasks configs — Update .vscode/launch.json and tasks.json to mirror the current build/test/debug workflow so contributors get accurate defaults.
  28. T28 – Evaluate grammar-based BIND parsing — Prototype a BIND zone grammar in BNF/EBNF and assess tooling like Irony (lexer/parser generators) to simplify maintenance versus the current handwritten parser; document findings and recommended next steps.
  29. T29 – IPv6 resolution support — Extend SmartZoneResolver/DnsServer so AAAA records flow end-to-end (zone providers, dispensers, response writer) with regression tests proving dual-stack answers work across providers.
