Why this game exists. Week 8 is cloud hosting and web foundations, and a DNS record, a certificate and a redirect are exactly the layer between a browser and this lab: it ships as plain files behind a CDN, with a header comment on this very site confirming that a CDN sends every response, and no build step in front of any of it. None of these rounds needs a story. A wrong record, an expired certificate and a stale cache are three of the most common ways a real deploy actually breaks, and they break the same way whether the site behind them is this lab or anything else on the web.
