Use this when the user asks about SPF 'too many lookups', the 10-lookup limit, an SPF PermError, or whether an SPF record is valid. Validate an SPF record and count what it costs. Returns record_valid (the record parses as RFC 7208 SPF), findings (per-term diagnostics), has_pass_all (a +all that authorizes the whole internet to send as this domain), multiple_all (more than one all, which makes everything after the first unreachable), the parsed terms, and the lookup count against the limit of 10 with over_limit/near_limit and the offending_mechanisms that push it over. Pass EXACTLY ONE of domain (resolves the published record and counts recursively through nested includes) or record (parses a pasted record, its own terms only). This is the SPF validator — there is no separate one. Diagnose-only: no SPF fix record is ever returned, because removing a mechanism can silently de-authorize a real sender — relay the findings and let the domain's owner decide what to drop.
