Operator Action: Malformed Vercel Domain

Severity: Low (no functional impact — the malformed domain returns 404 for any request and does not affect production routing).

Detected: Vercel sent a domain warning about get.zen-mesh.io.zen-mesh.io.

Root cause​

The domain get.zen-mesh.io.zen-mesh.io appears to be a Vercel dashboard artifact. When adding get.zen-mesh.io as a custom domain in the zen-mesh.io Vercel project, the dashboard may have auto-appended .zen-mesh.io (the Vercel project's auto-generated domain suffix), producing the concatenated string get.zen-mesh.io.zen-mesh.io.

The correct domain is get.zen-mesh.io (used by middleware.ts for the Edge Lite install bootstrap: curl -fsSL https://get.zen-mesh.io | sh).

Affected project​

Action​

  1. Open the Vercel dashboard for the zen-mesh.io project → Settings → Domains
  2. Find the entry get.zen-mesh.io.zen-mesh.io
  3. Remove it (it is not a usable domain)
  4. If get.zen-mesh.io is not already listed as a custom domain:
    • Add get.zen-mesh.io as a custom domain
    • Set environment to Production
    • Configure DNS: CNAME get → cname.vercel-dns.com (or the current Vercel edge hostname)

Do NOT remove the get.zen-mesh.io entry in middleware.ts — it is correct.

Verification​

# After fix, this should return 200 (no warning)
curl -sI https://get.zen-mesh.io/install-edge-lite.sh | head -5

# Vercel dashboard should show only valid domains:
#   zen-mesh.io       → Production
#   www.zen-mesh.io    → Production
#   get.zen-mesh.io    → Production  (if explicitly added)

Risk​

  • Removing the malformed domain: None — it is not functional
  • Adding get.zen-mesh.io: Low if DNS is configured correctly
  • Leaving the malformed domain: Low — Vercel warnings and potential confusion

If dashboard access is blocked​

This action requires Vercel dashboard access (owner or admin role). If not available, the malformed domain entry can remain — it does not affect routing for any valid domain.
