A DNS-TXT channel under *.dl.wel1.ru (hostnames such as sdk.dl.wel1.ru also reassembled via.join('')) reconstructs a base64-encoded payload from numbered subdomains as an out-of-band delivery/fallback channel. A marker file at /tmp/.analytics_state (or %TEMP%\\analytics_state) with a TTL rate-limits re-execution.
