What changed, and when we noticed

Acted on an independent accuracy audit. The email DNS checker now flags null MX, sender-less SPF, and revoked DKIM keys instead of showing them green. The scam check, username checker, and calculator handle edge cases honestly. Corrected guidance on payment testing, .ca expiry and redemption, safe nameserver changes, builder exits, platform link rules, and the privacy page, and replaced three dead official links.
