Netlify custom domain stuck on *.netlify.app — LE never issues

If your custom domain verifies in Netlify but the live site still serves *.netlify.app, and Let's Encrypt never issues (or renew fails with "certificate parameter is required" / NXDOMAIN on _acme-challenge), you are in the last-mile SSL trap.

Common shapes this week:

  • DNS looks fine; browser still shows hostname mismatch on the default Netlify cert
  • Wildcard / CertOrder path stuck while www never joins the cert
  • LE renew dying on DNS-01 before expiry

I put the operator packet on a one-pager: what to check, what to fix, when to stop guessing.

Not a course. The packet.
