One Caddy block, both names, same root. The prerendered HTML already carries
<link rel="canonical"> and og:url pointing at the primeintellectgrowth name on
every route, so the alias does not split search ranking or leave a shared link
ambiguous about which site it belongs to. Verified byte-identical: both
hostnames return the same sha256 for /demos/wordle.

Worth recording why the alias failed before this rather than 404ing.
lumbridgecorp.com resolves on a WILDCARD, so every subdomain of it points at
cloud-2 whether or not Caddy knows the name. DNS completes, TLS opens, Caddy
finds no certificate for that SNI and aborts the handshake — the browser reports
ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR, which reads as "the site is down" rather than "wrong
hostname". primeintellectgrowth.com has no wildcard, which is why the canonical
name needed an explicit A record.

deploy.sh now smoke-tests the alias too: if the block is ever edited to drop the
second name, the failure mode is a TLS error, and nothing else would catch it.

The live block is mirrored into deploy/Caddyfile.demo so the config is
reviewable in the repo rather than only on the host.

## Two hostnames, one root
Both names serve the same build. The prerendered HTML carries
`<link rel="canonical">` and `og:url` pointing at the **primeintellectgrowth**
name on every route, so the alias does not split search ranking or make a shared
link ambiguous about which site it belongs to.
⚠️ **`lumbridgecorp.com` resolves on a wildcard.** Every subdomain of it points
at cloud-2 whether or not Caddy has a block for it — so an unconfigured or
mistyped name completes DNS, opens TLS, finds no certificate for that SNI, and
fails the handshake with `ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR`. That reads as "the site is
broken" when it means "that is not a site". `primeintellectgrowth.com` has no
wildcard, which is why the canonical name needed an explicit A record.
`deploy.sh` smoke-tests the alias for exactly this reason: if the block is ever
edited to drop the second name, the failure is a TLS error rather than a 404,
and nothing else would notice.
