 ## Mistakes That Break Your Build
@@ -45,7 +45,7 @@ Access patterns:
 
 7. **Pinning the asset canister Wasm version below `0.30.2`.** The `ic_env` cookie (used by `safeGetCanisterEnv()` from `@icp-sdk/core` to read canister IDs and the root key at runtime) is only served by asset canister Wasm versions >= `0.30.2`. The Wasm version is set via `configuration.version` in the recipe, independently of the recipe version itself. If you pin an older Wasm version, the cookie is silently missing and frontend code relying on `ic_env` will fail. Either omit `configuration.version` (latest is used) or pin to `0.30.2` or later.
 
-8. **Not configuring `allow_raw_access` correctly.** The asset canister has two serving modes: certified (via `ic0.app` / `icp0.io`, where HTTP gateways verify response integrity) and raw (via `raw.ic0.app` / `raw.icp0.io`, where no verification occurs). By default, `allow_raw_access` is `true`, meaning assets are also available on the raw domain. On the raw domain, boundary nodes or a network-level attacker can tamper with response content undetected. Set `"allow_raw_access": false` in `.ic-assets.json5` for any sensitive assets. Only enable raw access when strictly needed.

 9. **Downgrading the asset canister WASM version.** Upgrading a canister to an older WASM version can fail with "Cannot parse header" panics if the stable memory format changed between versions. Prefer the `@dfinity/asset-canister` recipe over `type: pre-built` with a manually specified WASM URL — the recipe loads the latest asset canister version automatically if not explicitly specified in `configuration.version`. If you must pin a version, ensure it matches or exceeds the version currently deployed on-chain. If a downgrade is intentional, use reinstall mode (`icp deploy --mode reinstall`) instead of upgrade — this wipes stable memory and all uploaded assets.

You configure DNS, deploy a domain ownership file to your canister, and register via a REST API. The HTTP gateways then handle TLS certificate provisioning, renewal, and routing automatically.
 
 Custom domains work at the boundary node level — they map a domain to any canister ID via DNS. This works with any canister that can serve `/.well-known/ic-domains` over HTTP, not just asset canisters. That includes asset canisters, Juno satellites, and custom canisters implementing `http_request`.

 7. **Not explicitly registering the domain.** DNS configuration alone is not enough. You must call `POST /custom-domains/v1/CUSTOM_DOMAIN` to start registration. It is not automatic.
 
-8. **Not setting `host` in HttpAgent on custom domains.** When serving from a custom domain, the `HttpAgent` cannot automatically infer the IC API host like it can on `icp0.io`. You must set `host: "https://icp-api.io"` explicitly for mainnet.
+8. **Setting `HttpAgent`'s `host` to your custom domain.** `host` is the **API endpoint** canister calls go to, not the domain your frontend is served from. Your custom domain is the HTTP gateway — it does not serve `/api/v2`, so pointing `host` at it (or at `window.location.origin`) makes calls fail. You do not need to set `host`: a recent `@icp-sdk/core` `HttpAgent` resolves an omitted `host` to `https://icp-api.io` (the mainnet API boundary nodes) on a custom domain. Leave it unset, or set it explicitly to `https://icp-api.io` — never the gateway domain.
 
 9. **Forgetting alternative origins for Internet Identity.** II principals depend on the origin domain. Switching from a canister URL to a custom domain changes principals. Configure `.well-known/ii-alternative-origins` to keep the same principals. See the `internet-identity` skill.

 ## HttpAgent Configuration
 
-On custom domains, the agent cannot auto-detect the IC API host. Set it explicitly:
+A frontend served from your custom domain still makes its canister calls through the mainnet **API boundary nodes** (`https://icp-api.io`), not through the domain it is served from. `HttpAgent`'s `host` is that API endpoint — *not* your frontend's origin. The custom domain is the HTTP gateway and does not serve `/api/v2`.
+
+You do not need to set `host`. When it is omitted, a recent `@icp-sdk/core` `HttpAgent` resolves to `https://icp-api.io` on a custom domain (and on `icp.net`). Do **not** point `host` at your custom domain or `window.location.origin` — that is the gateway, so calls would fail.
 
 ```typescript
 import { HttpAgent } from "@icp-sdk/core/agent";
 
-const isProduction = process.env.NODE_ENV === "production";
-const host = isProduction ? "https://icp-api.io" : undefined;
-const agent = await HttpAgent.create({ host });
