Problem

The script has a critical syntax error that prevents it from running at all:

IndentationError: expected an indented block after 'for' statement on line 940

This was introduced in PR #317 (commit 22add21).

Root Cause

Lines 938-940 in validate_hostname() function contain unreachable dead code after a return False statement:

            return False

            if not addr_info:      # ← unreachable
                return False       # ← unreachable  
            for res in addr_info:  # ← empty for loop = syntax error

The empty for loop on line 940 triggers an IndentationError because Python expects an indented block after the for statement.

Solution

Remove the unreachable dead code (lines 938-940).

Testing

  • python3 -m py_compile main.py passes (was failing before)
  • ✅ Script can now be imported without syntax errors

Impact

Before: Script cannot run at all - immediate syntax error on import
After: Script runs normally

This is a critical bugfix that unblocks all script functionality.

Remove unreachable dead code after return statement that caused syntax error.

The code after 'return False' on line 936 was unreachable and contained
an empty 'for' loop that prevented the script from running at all.

Pull request overview

This PR fixes a critical IndentationError that prevented the script from executing at all. The error was caused by unreachable dead code in the validate_hostname() function introduced in PR #317. The fix removes four lines of dead code that appeared after a return False statement, including an empty for loop that caused the syntax error.

Changes:

  • Removes unreachable dead code (lines 938-940) from the validate_hostname() function that caused an IndentationError

Critical bug: Missing return True statement after successful domain validation.

When a domain name is validated and all resolved IPs pass the security checks (lines 922-931), the for loop completes without an explicit return statement. This causes the function to implicitly return None instead of True, breaking the contract of the boolean return type.

The function needs a return True after line 931 (after the for loop, inside the try block starting at line 918) to properly handle the success case when all IPs are valid.

This bug causes all valid domain names (like "example.com") to be treated as invalid, breaking tests in tests/test_hostname_validation.py lines 21, 25, and 29 which expect True to be returned.
