test: tighten DNS corpus assertions to close CodeQL false positives

[EONRaider]

Summary

Closes #166. CodeQL flagged 3 open py/incomplete-url-substring-sanitization alerts (#7, #8, #9) in tests/test_dns.py, all on assertions checking decoded DNS names against a fixed pcap corpus (CORPUS_DNS) — not security-relevant URL/domain trust checks, but exactly the raw substring/endswith pattern the rule is built to flag. Rather than dismissing the alerts via the code-scanning API, this tightens the checks to exact equality against the known decoded values, which removes the flagged pattern entirely and is strictly more precise than what it replaces.

What's included

• tests/test_dns.py: test_names_decompress_to_real_domains now asserts names == {"example.com", "accounts.youtube.com"} instead of two in membership checks; test_answers_parse_to_real_records now asserts cname.rdata_text == "www3.l.google.com" instead of .endswith("google.com"). Both replacement values were confirmed by running the actual decoder against tests/fixtures/udp_dns.pcap, not assumed.
• CHANGELOG.md: ### Development entry under a new ## [Unreleased] section.

Verification

• uv run ruff check and uv run ruff format --check are clean
• uv run mypy is clean (strict)
• uv run pytest passes locally (CI runs it on Python 3.12 / 3.13 / 3.14)
• CHANGELOG.md has an entry under ## [Unreleased]

uv run --frozen pytest --cov=netprotocols --cov-report=term
...
TOTAL   2055   1   99%
Required test coverage of 98.0% reached. Total coverage: 99.95%

New protocol or dispatch change — also:

N/A — no new protocol or dispatch change, this block doesn't apply.

Notes

No alerts were dismissed via the code-scanning API for this fix — the substring/endswith pattern CodeQL keys on is gone from the code, so the next analysis of master (this PR's own CodeQL run included) shouldn't reproduce findings at these locations, and GitHub should auto-close #7/#8/#9 as fixed once this merges.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The DNS corpus tests now use exact equality for expected question names and the decompressed CNAME target. The changelog documents the assertion changes and related CodeQL alerts.

Changes

DNS assertion tightening

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Exact DNS corpus checks tests/test_dns.py, CHANGELOG.md	The tests require the exact names example.com and accounts.youtube.com, and the exact CNAME target www3.l.google.com. The changelog records the changes and related CodeQL alerts.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 61894

DNS corpus tests now enforce exact decoded names and CNAME values, but the changelog formatting can fail Markdown lint until a blank line is added after the Development heading.

Re: the "Docstring Coverage" pre-merge check (0% on test_names_decompress_to_real_domains / test_answers_parse_to_real_records, vs. an 80% threshold) — declining this one, checked against the codebase's actual conventions rather than the generic default:

• Project-wide, docstring coverage on tests/*.py methods is ~16.5% (108/656), with several test files at a flat 0%. test_dns.py itself is at 13.6% (9/66), in line with that average — not an outlier.
• Within this exact file and class (TestCorpusDNS), the established pattern is a self-documenting method name plus a targeted inline # comment where a specific assertion needs justification, not a leading docstring — test_answers_parse_to_real_records already follows this (two comments at its two non-obvious assertions); test_names_decompress_to_real_domains's single assertion doesn't need one.
• This is a ratified project policy, not just an emergent pattern: pyproject.toml's ruff config enables D100/D101/D103 (missing-docstring) but scopes them to src/ only, via per-file-ignores for tests/, with an inline maintainer rationale that tests rely on descriptive names, not docstrings, by established convention.
• Docstrings that do exist in test_dns.py cluster around genuinely non-obvious content — linked issue numbers, boundary/regression conditions — never a restatement of what the method name already says, which is what one on these two methods would be.

No .coderabbit.yaml in this repo adopts the 80% threshold, and it isn't a blocking check.
