Description

It looks like although challtestrv supports setting a CAA record, pebble does not check those records, and does not issue an error if CAA policy do not allow letsencrypt.org to issue certificates.

It would be nice to test this type of error.

Research direction

Start by tracing Pebble's certificate issuance validation for CAA records and compare it with challtestrv's existing CAA behavior. Identify the relevant issuance tests and add coverage for a CAA policy that does not allow letsencrypt.org to issue certificates, with the expected error confirming the policy is enforced.
