    notes: >
      This software implements the DNS-AID specification (draft-01):
      SVCB/HTTPS record discovery, TXT capability records,
      underscored naming (_agent._protocol._agents.domain),
      custom SVCB parameters (cap, cap-sha256, bap, policy, realm,
      connect-class, connect-meta, enroll-uri),
      DNSSEC validation, and DANE certificate matching.
