Expired domain iba.com.br shows as registered by RDAP response #20

Description

@adrukh

iba.com.br registration has expired in July 2025.
Its WHOIS record says release process: waiting. However, rdapper returns "isRegistered": true.

Is this a bug? Should registered a while back, expired since, in release process now mean not registered?

I believe so, and would like to suggest the following changes:

  1. RDAP parser: Replace hardcoded isRegistered: true with logic that checks:
  • Presence of registration data (events, statuses, nameservers, dates)
  • Status values for inactive/deleted states
  • Expiration + lack of nameservers = likely released
  1. WHOIS patterns: Add /\brelease process[:\s]*waiting\b/i to catch Brazilian .br domains
  2. Validation strategy: When RDAP response is suspiciously minimal, validate against WHOIS
