This PR adds a test intended to validate CAA record parsing, but the test only compares two hardcoded strings to each other and never exercises the actual parser, so it will always pass regardless of parser correctness. This is a test-quality issue rather than a production risk, since no non-test code is touched, but the test should be corrected to actually validate the parser before it is relied upon for coverage.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Exercise the production parser.

This test assigns "issue" and "letsencrypt.org" to caaRecord and compares those same literals. The condition at Line 18 is always false. The test passes even when the CAA parser returns incorrect data or is not called. Build an encoded CAA record, parse it with the production parser, and assert the returned Flag, Tag, and Value.
