Default Doppler Shift is evidence for the varying speed of light.

This statement is based on the following assumptions:
1. The wavelength of a source such as the sodium is a defined
universal constant 589 nm in all frames.

There's your problem! BTW, you got the numbers wrong because air and
vacuum refractive indices are different - and it's plural, jackass,
because it's a pair of lines,

Metrologia 17 77 (1981)
589.7566617 nm and 589.1580220 nm.

Now be a good little idiot and look up whether those are vacuum or air
values.

Why don't you use the hydrogen atom triplet-singlet hyperfine decay?
It is a single line at 1.4204057517667 GHz or 10,000X more accurately
known. Then all your equipment can have the same precision but with
bigger, easier dimensions - like Frankenstein's monster giving Victor
more elbow room (presumably including a commensurately bigger pecker).
