Follow-up to a report on Appwrite Cloud that an MX record with priority 0 could not be added. The bug was in the console, and the API took the value fine, but the check across the stack turned up that nothing in this library holds zero.

priority, weight and port are nullable because most record types do not carry them. Every place that reads them already uses ?? 0, not ?: 0 — correctly, since a zero the caller set is not a zero the caller omitted. MX priority 0 is the highest priority a mail exchange can be given, and RFC 2782 gives all three SRV fields a meaning at zero: highest priority, no share of the weighted draw, and the port that marks the service unavailable on that target.

The existing coverage uses 10 for MX, 5/10/5060 for SRV, and 10/20/50 in the zone fixtures. So ?? 0 could become ?: '' in File::formatRdata and only the zone export would break — silently, into a line File::parseRdata then refuses, which fails the import of the entire zone rather than the one record.

Adds four cases to RecordTest (MX priority 0 and SRV 0 0 0, encode and decode) and two to FileTest (export/import round trip for both).

Seen red: rewriting the MX branch of File::formatRdata to $pri = $priority ?: '' exports mail\t300\tIN\tMX\t mail and fails testExportAndImportKeepZeroMxPriority.

OK (146 tests, 514 assertions)

Pint passes. The 15 PHPStan findings are pre-existing in src/DNS/Server.php; src/ is untouched here.

`priority`, `weight` and `port` are nullable because most record types do not
carry them, and every place that reads them uses `?? 0` rather than `?: 0` --
correctly, since a zero the caller set is not a zero the caller omitted. MX
priority 0 is the highest priority a mail exchange can be given, and RFC 2782
gives all three SRV fields a meaning at zero.

Nothing held that. The MX and SRV cases in `RecordTest` used 10 and 5/10/5060,
and the zone fixtures use 10, 20 and 50, so `?? 0` could become `?: ''` and
only the zone export broke -- silently, into a line `File::parseRdata` then
refuses, taking the whole zone with it.

Covers encode, decode and the zone export/import round trip for MX priority 0
and SRV 0 0 0. Verified red: rewriting the MX branch of `File::formatRdata` to
`$pri = $priority ?: ''` exports `mail 300 IN MX  mail` and fails the round
trip test.

Greptile Summary

This PR adds regression coverage preserving zero-valued MX and SRV fields across wire encoding, decoding, and zone-file round trips. It also independently changes authoritative apex SOA resolution.

  • Covers MX priority 0 and SRV priority, weight, and port values of 0.
  • Returns the separately stored zone SOA as an authoritative apex answer.
  • The new SOA path does not fully account for equivalent trailing-dot names or DNS question classes.

Confidence Score: 3/5

The PR is not yet safe to merge because the new apex SOA response path can return the wrong result for trailing-dot names and class-mismatched questions.

The shortcut handles ordinary IN-class apex SOA queries, but its strict name comparison rejects equivalent fully qualified names and it returns the SOA without checking the requested DNS class.

Files Needing Attention: src/DNS/Zone/Resolver.php, tests/unit/DNS/Zone/ResolverTest.php

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
src/DNS/Zone/Resolver.php Adds authoritative apex SOA responses, but exact name matching and missing class validation leave valid query cases incorrect.
tests/unit/DNS/Zone/ResolverTest.php Covers apex SOA responses with and without ordinary records, but only for identical undotted names and default IN class.
tests/e2e/DNS/ClientTest.php Updates the end-to-end SOA expectation from the authority section to the answer section.
tests/unit/DNS/Message/RecordTest.php Adds exact byte-level encode and decode coverage for zero-valued MX and SRV numeric fields.
tests/unit/DNS/Zone/FileTest.php Adds export/import round-trip coverage ensuring zero-valued MX and SRV fields remain present.

### Issue 1
src/DNS/Zone/Resolver.php:46-48
**Trailing dots miss SOA**

A programmatically constructed apex SOA question such as `example.com.` keeps its trailing dot, while this new path requires exact string equality with the zone name. The query therefore falls through and returns NXDOMAIN or NODATA instead of the zone's SOA, leaving the apex SOA fix incomplete.

### Issue 2
src/DNS/Zone/Resolver.php:234-238
**SOA shortcut ignores class**

The new shortcut returns the zone's SOA without checking the question class. For example, a CH-class apex SOA question against an IN-class zone receives an authoritative IN record instead of no matching answer, violating the DNS question-class contract.
