Custom domain ownership validation stuck despite TXT record propagated

I'm trying to add a custom domain buckle.colourblind.com.au to my Railway frontend service. The domain ownership validation has been stuck on "Validating domain ownership" for several hours despite the DNS records being correctly configured.

DNS records in VentraIP:
- CNAME: buckle → 0m2z58rs.up.railway.app (showing green in Railway dashboard)
- TXT: _railway-verify.buckle → railway-verify=f05c780d6bd2a16045b98399d37660e0170ecd29100d959e797eb66cdd0f4571

The TXT record is resolving correctly on dnschecker.org with ticks from almost all global DNS servers. I've tried removing and re-adding the custom domain multiple times — each time Railway generates a new CNAME which I update in VentraIP, but the TXT record value stays the same and verification never completes.

Can you help force the domain verification or investigate why it's stuck?

Your domain buckle.colourblind.com.au is actually fully verified, the SSL certificate is valid, and the CNAME is correctly propagated on our side. The dashboard may be displaying a stale status. Try refreshing the page or navigating away and back to the custom domain settings to see the updated state.
