When certmanager_create_hosted_zone = true, Route53 assigns unique nameservers that must be configured at the domain registrar before cert-manager can issue certificates. This adds:

  • Full DNS delegation walkthrough in certmanager README with steps for getting nameservers, updating registrars, verifying propagation, and forcing cert-manager to retry after DNS is live
  • Troubleshooting table for common DNS delegation issues
  • certmanager_hosted_zone_nameservers and certmanager_dnssec_ds_record outputs surfaced at all 4 environment levels
  • Expanded post-apply instructions in examples/certmanager.tfvars
