Summary

In this pull request, the following changes are made:

Problem

The existing warning message:

Domain expiry unsupported for '.de' because its RDAP endpoint is not listed in the IANA database.

Left users confused. Popular TLDs like .de and .eu not supporting RDAP is counterintuitive, and the message gave no guidance on what to do next.

Solution

The new message:

Domain expiry monitoring is not supported for '.de' TLD — no RDAP endpoint is registered for it in the IANA database. Please verify this domain's expiry date manually via your registrar or https://lookup.icann.org.

Changes:

  • Clarifies it is a TLD-level limitation, not a configuration error
  • Explains why (no RDAP endpoint registered)
  • Directs users to verify manually via their registrar or ICANN lookup

  • ⚠️ CI passes and is green.

The previous log message only stated that the RDAP endpoint was
not in the IANA database, which left users confused about what to
do next. This expands the message to clarify the TLD is the issue
and directs users to verify expiry manually via their registrar
or https://lookup.icann.org.
