+# Administrator domain-conflict recovery
+
+Use this procedure only when a Worker environment was quarantined after a
+custom-domain attach returned Cloudflare HTTP `409` with provider error
+`100117` (`DOMAIN_ALREADY_BOUND`). This is an administrator recovery contract,
+not a normal customer deployment command.
+
+## Endpoint
+
+```text
+POST /api/admin/workers/domain-conflict-recovery
+Authorization: Bearer <existing-admin-session-or-token>
+Content-Type: application/json
+```
+
+The endpoint uses the backend's existing administrator authentication and
+authorization. Do not create a temporary token, put a Cloudflare token in the
+request, or send an xAPI key to the Worker hostname. The caller must already be
+an xAPI platform administrator.
+
+Request the exact identifiers and revision from the backend audit record:
+
+```json
+{
+  "workerId": "<worker-id>",
+  "environmentId": "<environment-id>",
+  "domainId": "<domain-id>",
+  "hostname": "app.example.com",
+  "expectedRevision": 236,
+  "expectedProviderStatus": 409,
+  "expectedProviderCode": 100117
+}
+```
+
+## Preconditions and result
+
+xAPI checks that the environment is the requested Worker, the legacy writer is
+the one-step custom-domain `PUT` that recorded `409 / 100117`, and the
+`domainProvision` scope in that writer matches the submitted domain, hostname,
+zone, and dispatch service. It also verifies that Cloudflare shows another
+service owning the hostname and that the xAPI dispatch service does not own it.
+
+The platform route KV must be absent, or must point to the failed script and be
+safe to remove. If ownership evidence is missing, ambiguous, or belongs to
+another xAPI script, recovery fails closed.
+
+Successful recovery clears only the failed legacy writer, returns the
+environment to `LEGACY`, records the local domain as `ERROR` with
+`worker_domain_conflict`, and writes an audit record. It does not detach or
+delete the binding owned by another Cloudflare service. The user must resolve
+the hostname conflict separately before trying another bind.
+
+After recovery, verify the returned state, the audit event
+`control.legacy_domain_conflict_recovered`, and the unchanged external binding.
