## §12.5 DNS TXT Record Discovery (G20)

Agents MAY verify that a domain is a legitimate EEP participant by checking its DNS TXT record:
Agents MAY discover a domain's EEP manifest by checking its DNS TXT record at `_eep.<domain>`:

```
_eep.publisher.example. IN TXT "v=EEP1 did=did:web:publisher.example"
_eep.publisher.example. IN TXT "v=eep1; manifest=https://publisher.example/.well-known/eep.json"
```

**Format:** `v=EEP1 did=<DID>`. Agents SHOULD treat absence of this record as a trust signal downgrade but MUST NOT treat it as an outright rejection (DNS deployment takes time).
**Format:** `v=eep1; manifest=<https-url>` — a version token (`eep1`) and `;`-separated `key=value` pairs; the `manifest` URL MUST be HTTPS. This is the format encoded by the manifest schema's `discovery_hints.dns_txt_record` field and parsed by the reference implementation (`@eep-dev/discovery` `parseDnsTxtRecord`); the publisher's DID is resolved from the manifest it points to. Agents SHOULD treat absence of this record as a trust-signal downgrade but MUST NOT treat it as an outright rejection (DNS deployment takes time).
