Project b5847ebf-0830-4774-934d-083e7e5393cd, environment 8edc0690-8ecb-45f6-8192-f9e1818b2355, service c0fcbdc1-502a-4919-af48-bb2d531fb2b5 (edge: ord1).
https://www.minimumviablehuman.ca returns the Railway fallback page (404, x-railway-fallback: true, "the train has not arrived at the station") on every request. Example request IDs: B9_E5AKSQXKylAM-Y53eZw, vjL9hWx4RWi6wOpOnPRhug, fix6QGfBT6enquGWjq4OvQ.
Everything the checklist covers is green:
- Custom domain object
03769bb7-77b9-4670-aa0d-7795c6b3656f(created 2026-07-06 21:10 UTC): the API reports the CNAME (www→3girn9x9.up.railway.app) asDNS_RECORD_STATUS_PROPAGATED, and public resolvers agree. - TLS is fine: after
customDomainIssueCertificate, the cert forwww.minimumviablehuman.caissued (valid to 2026-10-04) and is what the edge now serves. Only HTTP routing falls through to fallback. - The apex custom domain
minimumviablehuman.caon the same service serves 200 normally, as does the service domainminimum-viable-human-production.up.railway.app. Both domain objects have identical config (targetPort: null).
History: this is the third incarnation of the www domain object since 2026-07-05 — deleting and recreating the object cleared the identical symptom before, but it keeps returning, so the recreate loop looks like symptom treatment. A fresh redeploy (deployment 8d6e4888-12f5-4bf9-be2c-f16d2b87adfa, SUCCESS) also did not clear it; example post-deploy request: YK0lqZcOQEuJxiRUljLL4A. Could you take a look at the edge route registration for this hostname? Happy to provide anything else.

You need to add a TXT record for _railway-verify.www.minimumviablehuman.ca. If you are using the API to add your custom domain, you can find it in verificationToken under status.

That was it — the API's status.verificationToken needed a TXT at _railway-verify.www; created it and the domain verified + routed within ~3 minutes. Thank you!
