The repository had no licence file at all, which makes publicly readable code all-rights-reserved by default: nobody may legally use it. That is a 1.0 blocker rather than a nicety, and `LICENSE` was the only file from `REPO_POLICIES.md`'s required minimum still missing here. The choice is standing org policy rather than a per-repo call: any public repo lacking a licence gets MIT, while a private repo with no licence is already all-rights-reserved and needs nothing. `sneak/dnswatcher` is public, so MIT. `LICENSE` carries the canonical MIT text byte-for-byte with only the copyright line filled in; no clauses added, removed, reworded, or reflowed. `README.md`'s first line now names the licence, which the Description requirement in `REPO_POLICIES.md` calls for, and the License section states MIT and points at the file instead of recording the decision as pending.
