How do I configure an Apex Domain for Cloudflare Workers & Static Assets?

I've worked through the following setup guides to configure an Astro site on Cloudflare Workers & Static Assets: - Framework guide for Astro - Custom Domains for Workers I have a domain that is managed by Cloudflare. I've configured my project's wrangler.jsonc with the following: 
{
  "assets": {
    "directory": "./dist"
  },
  "compatibility_date": "2025-05-04",
  "name": "mysite",
  "routes": [
    {
      "custom_domain": true,
      "pattern": "mysite.com"
    },
    {
      "custom_domain": true,
      "pattern": "www.mysite.com"
    }
  ],
  "preview_urls": true,
  "workers_dev": false
}
{
  "assets": {
    "directory": "./dist"
  },
  "compatibility_date": "2025-05-04",
  "name": "mysite",
  "routes": [
    {
      "custom_domain": true,
      "pattern": "mysite.com"
    },
    {
      "custom_domain": true,
      "pattern": "www.mysite.com"
    }
  ],
  "preview_urls": true,
  "workers_dev": false
}
My questions are: - On my domain's "DNS Records" page, I am shown an "Add an A, AAAA, or CNAME for your root domain so mysite.com will resolve" message. Is this message not relevant to my Cloudflare Workers setup, or am I missing a configuration step? - What is the best practice for configuring a www redirect, so requests to www.mysite.com instead go to mysite.com?

Would static redirects be preferable over Redirect Rules?

For the domain problem: I bought the domain on Namecheap and pointed the DNS from Namecheap to Cloudflare via the Cloudflare Nameservers.

After doing so and setting up my Cloudflare Worker, I still see these "Recommended steps to complete zone setup".
