Security hints: RDAP domain metadata #283

Description

@mortenn

Part of #249 and meta #245.

Scope

Implement the first external lookup vector: manual, opt-in RDAP domain metadata.

  • Discover authoritative RDAP services through the IANA RDAP bootstrap registry.
  • Query the registrable domain only, not the full URL.
  • Show registration age and useful registration events when available.
  • Disclose that the registry or registrar RDAP service may see the domain lookup.

Acceptance Notes

  • Disabled by default and user-triggered only.
  • No automatic lookup on picker open, including when a URL matches Defaults.
  • Cache bootstrap data and domain results.
  • Treat 429, unsupported TLDs, malformed responses, and unavailable data as neutral not available results.
  • Avoid logging full URLs or API keys.

Out of Scope

  • Malware/reputation providers.
  • Public CT history providers.
  • Automatic external checks.
