 ## Safety model
 
-- Creates a **new unique subdomain** every run using `random_id`.
+- Creates a **new disposable subdomain** using configurable `test_prefix` and `test_suffix` values.
 - Hostname format is:
-  - `<test_prefix>-<random_hex>.<dynu_root_domain>`
+  - `<test_prefix>-<test_suffix>.<dynu_root_domain>`
 - Creates exactly one record:
   - `A` record, default content `198.51.100.10`, default TTL `300`.
 - Does **not** import, update, replace, or delete existing production hostnames/records.

 ## Workflow

 ## Cleanup guidance
 
 - Always run `terraform destroy` after testing.
 - If apply is interrupted or partially succeeds, rerun `terraform destroy` from this same

 - If re-running without destroying first, Terraform may keep state for the previous
