Long-lived integration branch. One commit per work unit lands here; this PR accumulates them until it is merged to `main`.

## Landed units

- **Run all linting in Docker via `Dockerfile.lint` + `script/lint`** — #134

    golangci-lint is no longer installed or run on the host. New root `Dockerfile.lint` COPYs the repo into the digest-pinned `golangci/golangci-lint:v2.12.2` image and lints as a build step, so a successful build IS a clean lint; `script/lint` is reduced to a thin wrapper that builds it. This also works where the docker daemon is remote and bind mounts are impossible.

    **Pinned digest and how it was verified.** `golangci/golangci-lint:v2.12.2@sha256:5cceeef04e53efe1470638d4b4b4f5ceefd574955ab3941b2d9a68a8c9ad5240`, exactly as quoted in the issue. It resolves, and it is genuinely v2.12.2:

    ```
    $ docker buildx imagetools inspect golangci/golangci-lint:v2.12.2
    Name:      docker.io/golangci/golangci-lint:v2.12.2
    MediaType: application/vnd.oci.image.index.v1+json
    Digest:    sha256:5cceeef04e53efe1470638d4b4b4f5ceefd574955ab3941b2d9a68a8c9ad5240

    $ docker run --rm golangci/golangci-lint@sha256:5cceeef04e...ad5240 golangci-lint --version
    golangci-lint has version 2.12.2 built with go1.26.2 from c0d3ddc9 on 2026-05-06T11:07:58Z
    ```

    The tag's index digest is the quoted digest, and the binary inside reports commit `c0d3ddc9`, matching the org's canonical pin `c0d3ddc9cf3faa61a4e378e879ece580256d76e5`.

    **Forcing the linter to actually run.** `Dockerfile.lint` is split into a `deps` stage (base image + `go mod download`) and a `lint` stage (source copy + linter run). `script/lint` runs:

    ```
    docker build --progress=plain --no-cache-filter=lint --target lint -f Dockerfile.lint .
    ```

    Caching is explicitly waived for linting, and a cached build lints nothing, so the `lint` stage is invalidated on every invocation. The invalidation is scoped: the `deps` stage stays cached and no global cache wipe is performed. `--progress=plain` keeps the linter's own output visible.

    **`golangci-lint config verify`: deliberately NOT included.** It fetches its JSON schema over a live, unpinned HTTPS call, which would make linting network-dependent and defeat hash-pinning. Omitted for that reason, and the reason is recorded in a comment at the top of `Dockerfile.lint`.

    **`script/bootstrap`** no longer installs golangci-lint (and its pinned ref is gone); it warns non-fatally when `docker` is absent instead. The `goimports` install stays, because `script/fmt` and `script/fmt-check` still run on the host. Header comment updated accordingly.

    **Root `Dockerfile`** — required consequence, not scope creep. Its builder stage ran `make check`, which now calls `script/lint`, which shells out to `docker build`; there is no docker daemon inside a docker build, so `script/cibuild` and `script/docker` would have broken. It gains its own lint stage on the same pinned image (linter invoked directly, with a comment explaining why not `make lint`), with the builder stage depending on it via `COPY --from=lint /src/go.sum /dev/null` and running `make fmt-check`, `make test`, `make build`. The now-unneeded golangci-lint install is gone from the builder stage.

    **README** `Entrypoints` and `Building` sections now describe linting as a docker-only operation. `TODO.md` updated in the same commit.

    ### Verification

    All runs via `make` / `script/` entrypoints only.

    Two consecutive `make lint` runs on an unchanged tree, both executing the linter:

    ```
    # run 1
    #10 [lint 2/2] RUN golangci-lint run --config .golangci.yml ./...
    #10 10.98 0 issues.
    #10 DONE 12.0s

    # run 2, tree untouched
    #10 [lint 2/2] RUN golangci-lint run --config .golangci.yml ./...
    #10 14.63 0 issues.
    ```

    A third run shows the cache scoping is working as intended — `deps` served from cache, `lint` re-executed:

    ```
    #6 [deps 2/4] WORKDIR /src
    #6 CACHED
    #7 [deps 3/4] COPY go.mod go.sum ./
    #7 CACHED
    #8 [deps 4/4] RUN go mod download
    #8 CACHED
    #9 [lint 1/2] COPY . .
    #10 [lint 2/2] RUN golangci-lint run --config .golangci.yml ./...
    ```

    **Negative control.** A deliberate violation (an unused function containing an ineffectual assignment) was added to `internal/config/config.go`:

    ```
    #10 11.26 internal/config/config.go:29:2: ineffectual assignment to x (ineffassign)
    #10 11.26 internal/config/config.go:28:6: func negativeControlUnused is unused (unused)
    #10 11.26 2 issues:
    #10 ERROR: process "/bin/sh -c golangci-lint run --config .golangci.yml ./..." did not complete successfully: exit code: 1
    ERROR: failed to build: failed to solve: process "/bin/sh -c golangci-lint run --config .golangci.yml ./..." did not complete successfully: exit code: 1
    make: *** [Makefile:26: lint] Error 1
    ```

    `make lint` exited non-zero naming both findings and their exact lines. After reverting the file, `make lint` was clean again (`0 issues.`).

    **`make check`** green end to end (test, lint, fmt-check), exit 0.

    **`script/cibuild`** green, confirming the `Dockerfile` restructure does not recurse: the lint stage ran (`#16 12.56 0 issues.`), then `#22 [builder 8/9] RUN make test` with `PASS` lines, then `#23 [builder 9/9] RUN make build`.

    ### Notes for the owner

    This supersedes two PRs you still have queued for merge, both of which tune host linting that no longer exists after this change: #128 (isolates the host golangci-lint cache and lock) and #131 (always installs the pinned lint tools in `script/bootstrap`). Neither was merged or incorporated here.

    Made moot by this change: #121 and #130.

    ### Review outcome

    Reviewed at #136 (comment) — **PASS**. Three non-blocking comment-accuracy findings were recorded there for the next touch of those files; the reviewer independently confirmed the lint gate is live by negative control from a warm cache.

- **Live DNS tests made robust instead of gated; test caps moved to the org-wide 60s/20s/90s values** — #93

    The resolver's live-DNS tests failed nondeterministically, a different subset each run. Fixed by engineering the nondeterminism out, not by routing around the network. **Nothing is mocked, faked, stubbed, recorded or replayed; there is no `-short` flag, no build tag, no skip, and no environment-tolerance for restricted egress.** Production resolver behaviour is unchanged.

    ### Root causes, all test-side

    1. **Burst fan-out at one root server.** Every test in `internal/resolver` calls `t.Parallel()` and the build hosts have many cores (48 here), so all ~35 iterative resolutions started within milliseconds of each other, and because `queryServers` walks `rootServerList()` in fixed order they all aimed their first query at `198.41.0.4`. Root servers rate-limit that, which fits the reported symptom of a different arbitrary subset failing each run.
    2. **No retry anywhere.** One dropped UDP packet in a delegation chain failed a test outright.
    3. **Unanimity assertions.** `TestQueryAllNameservers_AllReturnOK` and `_NXDomainFromAllNS` required *every* nameserver of a domain to answer — four independent chances to fail per run, with no tolerance for one being slow.

    ### What was built

    New `internal/resolver/livedns_test.go` holds all the live-DNS machinery, so `resolver_test.go` itself takes only call-site edits:

    - **Bounded live concurrency.** A package-wide semaphore (`liveConcurrency = 6`) caps how many live resolutions are in flight at once. Tests keep `t.Parallel()`; only their network work is throttled. This is the direct fix for cause 1, and the 60s budget is what makes it affordable.
    - **Retry with exponential backoff.** Three attempts per live operation, 8s deadline each, 500ms base backoff doubling. The retry predicate is deliberately **transport-level** — "did a nameserver answer at all" — and never the assertion the test is making, so a resolver that answers *incorrectly* still fails on the first attempt rather than being retried into a false green.
    - **Quorum instead of unanimity, tolerating SILENCE ONLY.** A strict majority of the discovered nameservers must answer as expected, and every individual result must additionally fall inside a closed **allowlist** of statuses the test explicitly sanctions: `ok`/`timeout`/`error` for the all-OK test, `nxdomain`/`timeout`/`error` for the NXDOMAIN test. A nameserver that stays silent is tolerated; one that answers **wrongly** is not, at any count. The allowlist is the load-bearing part — see the rework note below for why a blocklist was not enough.

    New `internal/resolver/livedns_harness_test.go` tests that machinery directly — quorum arithmetic, status counting, the allowlist, the gate's concurrency bound, per-attempt deadlines, and recovery from a transient failure. It performs no DNS resolution of any kind, so it neither mocks DNS nor depends on it.

    ### Rework after review — the quorum could not fail on a wrong answer

    The review at #136 (comment) returned **FAIL** on `9cb2c2b`, correctly. Fixed in `87bce43`.

    **The defect.** The claim above was, as first written, false for `resolver.StatusNoData`. Each test banned exactly one wrong status — `_AllReturnOK` banned only `nxdomain`, `_NXDomainFromAllNS` banned only `ok` — and `nodata` is neither. It is a **wrong answer, not silence**: `answeredCount` counted it as answered, so it did not even trigger a retry, and with a quorum of 3-of-4 a single wrong nameserver slid through undetected. The pre-change unanimity assertions would have caught it. That is robustness work quietly becoming assertion-loosening, which is exactly what this repo cannot afford.

    **The fix.** Tolerance is now an allowlist, not a blocklist of one status. New `unsanctionedStatuses()` returns every per-nameserver result whose status the caller did not explicitly sanction, and each test asserts that list is empty in addition to its quorum. A blocklist bans the one wrong answer its author thought of and silently admits everything else, including any status added to the resolver later; an allowlist fails on anything nobody sanctioned. `answeredCount` was reframed the same way — it now counts the closed set `ok`/`nxdomain`/`nodata`, so an unfamiliar status is treated as silence and can only ever cause a retry and then a loud failure, never a quiet pass.

    **Evidence — the reviewer's exact probe, re-run.** `queryEachNS` in `internal/resolver/iterative.go` was patched to force one of `google.com`'s four nameservers to return `StatusNoData` with empty records. `make test` now goes **red**, naming the offending nameserver and status:

    ```
    exit=2
    --- FAIL: TestQueryAllNameservers_AllReturnOK (1.12s)
        Error:    Should be empty, but was [ns1.google.com.=nodata]
        Messages: every nameserver must answer OK or not answer at all:
                  ns1.google.com.=nodata ns2.google.com.=ok
                  ns3.google.com.=ok ns4.google.com.=ok
    --- FAIL: TestQueryAllNameservers_NXDomainFromAllNS (1.34s)
        Error:    Should be empty, but was [ns1.google.com.=nodata]
        Messages: every nameserver must report NXDOMAIN or not answer at all:
                  ns1.google.com.=nodata ns2.google.com.=nxdomain
                  ns3.google.com.=nxdomain ns4.google.com.=nxdomain
    FAIL  sneak.berlin/go/dnswatcher/internal/resolver  1.704s
    ```

    That is the same input that returned `exit=0` with both tests **passing** under the old assertions. Probe reverted, tree clean, suite green again:

    ```
    exit=0
    ok  sneak.berlin/go/dnswatcher/internal/resolver  4.185s  coverage: 77.1% of statements
    (zero `(cached)` lines)
    ```

    Two harness tests lock the regression in without any probe: three OK plus one `nodata` (quorum satisfied, no NXDOMAIN present — the exact input that used to pass) is reported as unsanctioned, and an unknown status is neither counted as answered nor tolerated.

    Also fixed from the review: the per-attempt deadline assertion in `livedns_harness_test.go` had no lower bound, so it passed for a deadline far shorter than intended. It now asserts the remaining time exceeds `liveAttemptTimeout/2` as well.

    Deliberately **not** done in this rework, per the review and the owner: no `-count=1` in `script/test` (the test-cache issue is real but pre-existing and repo-wide, filed separately); the remaining non-DNS mocks stay for #97; `queryServers` root-ordering stays untouched under #138.

    ### The `-timeout` backstop value: 90s

    Per the ruling at sneak/prompts#41 (comment) the cap is org-wide with two tiers: **60s hard cap for CI green, 20s target, and anything between the two must be filed as an improvement bug.** The backstop is **`90s`**, matching sneak/prompts#42 and preserving the 1.5x backstop-to-cap ratio the old 20s/30s pair had. It must strictly exceed the 60s cap or the cap is unreachable — the old `-timeout 30s` would have killed a 60s-capped suite at half its allowance. Applied to `script/test`; nothing else in the repo carried the old `30s`.

    Worst case for one live operation is 3 attempts x 8s plus ~1.5s of backoff, about 26s — comfortably inside the 90s backstop even if several operations exhaust their attempts at once.

    ### `REPO_POLICIES.md` is re-vendored, not hand-edited

    The file is org-canonical, so it was **copied byte-for-byte** from `prompts/REPO_POLICIES.md` on `sneak/prompts` branch `org-wide-60s-test-cap` (commit `52b5192`) rather than reworded to approximately the same thing. Verified:

    ```
    $ cmp prompts/REPO_POLICIES.md dnswatcher/REPO_POLICIES.md && echo identical
    identical
    $ sha256sum REPO_POLICIES.md
    bcf11c312a1bee18a0e937eb412b51914411c1ab23308b8362409f3f88379ff7
    ```

    **What that byte-identity does and does not certify.** The source branch `org-wide-60s-test-cap` is an **unmerged proposal** — sneak/prompts#42 — not `prompts` `main`. So, precisely:

    - The **60s hard cap and 20s improvement-bug tier ARE the owner's ruling** (sneak/prompts#41 (comment)).
    - The **`90s` backstop is our own proposed number and is NOT ratified** (sneak/prompts#41 (comment)).
    - The vendored text is therefore **the proposed canonical text, pending** sneak/prompts#42. If that PR lands with different numbers, this file must be re-vendored to match; it should not be hand-edited here either way.

    **Known mismatch with this repo's actual state, recorded not papered over.** Re-vendoring also picked up the paragraph at `REPO_POLICIES.md:266-271` mandating that canonical golangci-lint be installed commit-pinned via `go install ...@c0d3ddc9...`. This repo does **not** comply with that mechanism: `cc86473` in this same PR made linting Docker-only, and `script/bootstrap` now installs golangci-lint nowhere. The **version and commit match** (`v2.12.2` / `c0d3ddc9`); the **installation mechanism does not**. The vendored file is org-canonical and must not be edited downstream, so this is being raised upstream for the org text to accommodate Docker-only linting rather than patched here.

    `TESTING.md`'s stale "within the 30-second target" follows to 60. That edit is deliberately a single line so it merges cleanly when #97 lands.

    ### Verification

    All runs through `make` / `script/` entrypoints only; lint runs in Docker.

    **Ten consecutive `make check` runs, all green, none served from cache.** Go's test cache will happily report `ok pkg (cached)` without executing anything, which proves nothing about nondeterminism, so every run was forced to actually execute and each log was checked for zero `(cached)` lines:

    ```
    check#1  exit=0 wall=32s resolver=2.895s fails=0 cached=0
    check#2  exit=0 wall=27s resolver=2.872s fails=0 cached=0
    check#3  exit=0 wall=47s resolver=2.729s fails=0 cached=0
    check#4  exit=0 wall=36s resolver=2.885s fails=0 cached=0
    check#5  exit=0 wall=32s resolver=2.899s fails=0 cached=0
    check#6  exit=0 (harness tests added)      fails=0 cached=0
    check#7  exit=0 wall=41s resolver=2.891s fails=0 cached=0
    check#8  exit=0 wall=36s resolver=2.871s fails=0 cached=0
    check#9  exit=0 wall=26s resolver=2.846s fails=0 cached=0
    check#10 exit=0 wall=46s resolver=2.833s fails=0 cached=0
    ```

    After the rework commit `87bce43`, `make check` green again end to end, zero `(cached)` test lines, Docker lint stage demonstrably executed rather than served from cache:

    ```
    exit=0  cached=0
    #8 [deps 4/4] RUN go mod download
    #8 CACHED
    #10 [lint 2/2] RUN golangci-lint run --config .golangci.yml ./...
    #10 30.72 0 issues.
    ```

    The Docker lint stage was confirmed to execute rather than cache on each run:

    ```
    #8 [deps 4/4] RUN go mod download
    #8 CACHED
    #9 [lint 1/2] COPY . .
    #9 DONE 0.6s
    #10 [lint 2/2] RUN golangci-lint run --config .golangci.yml ./...
    #10 DONE 39.7s
    ```

    **`make test` wall time: 3.6-4.1s** across three timed uncached runs (`4093ms`, `3649ms`, `3729ms`). `internal/resolver` went from 2.0s to ~2.9s — the concurrency gate's cost. That is inside the 20s target, so no improvement bug is owed under the new two-tier rule.

    **Honest note on what these runs do and do not prove.** Live DNS was healthy throughout: **no live-DNS retry fired even once**, and no flake was observed either before or after the change (six pre-change baseline runs were also clean). So these runs demonstrate the change is not itself flaky and does not slow the suite; they do **not** demonstrate recovery from a real DNS failure, because no real DNS failure occurred. The original flakiness is *not reproduced* rather than *shown fixed*. The retry path is instead proven by `TestRetryLiveRecoversFromTransientFailure`, the only source of the single `retrying in 500ms` line in each log:

    ```
    livedns_harness_test.go:90: transient: attempt 1 of 3 failed
        (no answer from live DNS), retrying in 500ms
    ```

    ### Observation, not acted on

    The single most effective remaining lever against root-server rate limiting would be to stop `queryServers` always trying `rootServerList()` in the same order, so that load spreads across all thirteen roots instead of concentrating on `a.root-servers.net`. That is **production** code and this issue scopes the work as test-side, so it was left alone rather than changed quietly. It is now tracked for the owner's decision at #138.

    ### Interaction with #97

    `TESTING.md` and `internal/resolver/resolver_test.go` auto-merge — that PR touches `resolver_test.go` only at the import block and the final timeout-test section, while this change touches the body of the file and adds two new files, and it leaves the mock-`DNSClient` timeout test at the tail of `resolver_test.go` entirely alone since removing it is that PR's job. `TODO.md` does conflict; that PR is already labelled `needs-rebase`, so this adds nothing material to its rebase.

- **Go's test cache disabled, so every `make test` actually queries live DNS** — #139

    `script/test` did not pass `-count=1`, so on an unchanged tree Go served the whole suite from cache: exit 0 in ~0.2s, every package marked `(cached)`, and not one DNS query made. This repo's suite exists to exercise live resolution on every run (`TESTING.md`), so that green asserted nothing — and it is exactly the green used as evidence that a flakiness fix works, since "run it a few times" stops being runs after the first. It had already misled two agents, each of whom forced uncached runs by hand.

    `-count=1` now disables caching on every invocation.

    **The conditional verbose rerun was missing and is added here.** `REPO_POLICIES.md` mandates it; the primary run had been unconditionally `-v`, which is the failure mode the policy exists to prevent (unreadable CI and `docker build` logs on success). Tests now run quiet, and only a failure triggers the `-v` rerun. Two properties matter and both are covered: the rerun carries `-count=1` too, so it cannot replay a cached copy of the failure it is meant to diagnose; and its exit status is discarded in favour of a forced `1`, so a flake that passes the second time cannot turn the build green — the first failure already proved the suite broken.

    **`-timeout 90s` untouched.** It is a deliberate backstop that must strictly exceed the 60s hard cap.

    **No special-casing for the Docker build**, which reaches the same script via `RUN make test`: a fresh container's test cache is empty, so `-count=1` is a no-op there, and carving out an exception would only create a second code path that could drift.

    ### Verification

    **Proven from a warm cache, not a cold one.** The suite was run first to populate the cache, and the pre-change state confirmed:

    ```
    ok  sneak.berlin/go/dnswatcher/internal/config    (cached)  coverage: 92.6% of statements
    ok  sneak.berlin/go/dnswatcher/internal/resolver  (cached)  coverage: 77.1% of statements
    ...8 of 8 packages (cached)...
    real 0m0.203s
    ```

    With the change applied to that same warm cache, three back-to-back runs on an unchanged tree, **zero `(cached)` markers** in all three:

    ```
    # run 1                                          # run 2
    ok  .../internal/config     1.045s               ok  .../internal/config     1.040s
    ok  .../internal/handlers   1.029s               ok  .../internal/handlers   1.021s
    ok  .../internal/notify     1.148s               ok  .../internal/notify     1.252s
    ok  .../internal/portcheck  1.026s               ok  .../internal/portcheck  1.025s
    ok  .../internal/resolver   3.005s               ok  .../internal/resolver   2.846s
    ok  .../internal/state      1.078s               ok  .../internal/state      1.097s
    ok  .../internal/tlscheck   1.067s               ok  .../internal/tlscheck   1.079s
    ok  .../internal/watcher    1.566s               ok  .../internal/watcher    1.544s
    real 0m4.174s                                    real 0m4.015s

    # run 3: grep -c '(cached)' => 0                 real 0m4.519s
    ```

    **Measured uncached wall time: 4.0-4.5s** (was ~0.2s served from cache). Inside the 20s target, so no improvement bug is owed under the two-tier rule at sneak/prompts#41 (comment).

    **`-count=1` composes with `-race` and `-cover`**: both still present in the primary run, and the per-package coverage percentages above are identical to the pre-change values.

    **The failure path was exercised, not assumed.** A purpose-built flaky test that fails on its first run and passes every run after (marker file kept outside the module, so the tree stays byte-identical and a cached result would be served if caching were on) was run through the script:

    ```
    exit code: 1
    --- FAIL: TestFlaky (0.00s)
    FAIL    flakeproof  0.013s
    --- Rerunning with -v for details ---
    --- PASS: TestFlaky (0.00s)
    ok      flakeproof  1.014s
    ```

    Quiet failure, verbose rerun that genuinely re-executed (it passed, so it did not replay the cached `FAIL`), and exit `1` regardless of the rerun passing. Scratch module removed afterwards.

    **`make check` green**, exit 0, with the Docker lint stage demonstrably executed rather than served from cache:

    ```
    #8  [deps 4/4] RUN go mod download
    #8  CACHED
    #10 [lint 2/2] RUN golangci-lint run --config .golangci.yml ./...
    #10 21.36 0 issues.
    #10 DONE 26.2s
    ```

    `README.md` and `TESTING.md` record why the cache is waived, and `TODO.md` is updated in the same commit.

    ### Question for the owner, not filed as a defect

    The Docker lint run emits `The linter 'gomodguard' is deprecated (since v2.12.0) due to: new major version. Replaced by gomodguard_v2.` It is pre-existing and out of this issue's scope. It is not filed as an issue here because `.golangci.yml` tracks the org-canonical config, so switching to `gomodguard_v2` looks like an upstream `sneak/prompts` decision rather than a per-repo fix. Say the word and it gets filed in whichever place you consider canonical.

- **MIT `LICENSE` added; README states the licence** — #102

    The repo had no licence file at all, so publicly readable code was all-rights-reserved by default and nobody could legally use it. `LICENSE` was also the last file missing from `REPO_POLICIES.md`'s required minimum.

    MIT, by standing org policy rather than a per-repo call: any public repo lacking a licence gets MIT, and a private one with no licence is already all-rights-reserved. `sneak/dnswatcher` is public (`private: false` on the Gitea repo record).

    `README.md`'s first line now names the licence, per the Description requirement, and the License section states MIT and points at the file instead of recording the decision as pending. `TODO.md` updated in the same commit.

    ### Verification

    `LICENSE` is the canonical MIT text byte-for-byte with only the copyright line filled in (`Copyright (c) 2026 sneak`) — no clauses added, removed, reworded, or reflowed. It was not typed from memory: the file was copied from an existing verbatim MIT template on disk and only the copyright line edited (`diff` against that template shows that one line and nothing else), then the result was word-diffed against SPDX `MIT.txt` fetched from `spdx/license-list-data`, ignoring only line wrapping and the placeholder — identical.

    `make fmt` did **not** touch `LICENSE`, and cannot: `script/fmt` runs `gofmt -s -w .` and `goimports -w .` only, with no prettier or markdown step in the repo, so no exclusion was needed.

    `make check` green, exit 0. Tests executed rather than replayed (zero `(cached)` lines, `internal/resolver 3.098s`), and the Docker lint stage ran rather than cached:

    ```
    #10 [deps 4/4] RUN go mod download
    #10 CACHED
    #12 [lint 2/2] RUN golangci-lint run --config .golangci.yml ./...
    #12 36.44 0 issues.
    #12 DONE 36.7s
    ```

- **Comment-only corrections in `script/bootstrap`, `script/cibuild`, and `Dockerfile.lint`** — #137

    Follow-up to this PR's own review. Nothing executable changed: the diff touches comment lines, one warning string, and `TODO.md`.

    - `script/bootstrap`'s header justified the pinned `goimports` install by claiming `script/fmt-check` runs it on the host. Verified against the script: `script/fmt-check` runs `gofmt -l .` and nothing else. The header now credits `script/fmt` alone. That `fmt-check` does not verify goimports at all is #119 and was deliberately left alone.
    - `script/cibuild`'s header still said the `Dockerfile` runs `make check`. It now describes the current file: lint stage runs `make fmt-check` and `golangci-lint`, builder stage runs `make test` and `make build`.
    - The `docker`-missing warning was three fragments, each re-prefixed with `bootstrap:` mid-clause. Now one sentence: `bootstrap: WARNING: docker not found; install it to run make lint and make docker.`
    - `Dockerfile.lint`'s comment explained why `golangci-lint config verify` is omitted but read as though the omission were free. It now states the residual risk: unknown top-level keys in `.golangci.yml` are silently ignored, so a mistyped or wrong-schema key lints clean while applying nothing. `config verify` was **not** added — the network-dependence reasoning stands.

    ### Verification

    `make check` green, exit 0. Tests executed rather than replayed (zero `(cached)` lines, `internal/resolver 2.820s`), Docker lint stage executed rather than cached:

    ```
    #8 [deps 4/4] RUN go mod download
    #8 CACHED
    #10 [lint 2/2] RUN golangci-lint run --config .golangci.yml ./...
    #10 13.30 0 issues.
    ```

    Comment-only confirmed by reading the whole diff: no statement, flag, or command changed anywhere.

The commits on `next` each carry a bare `(closes #N)` in their subject, but the
references in the prose above are full URLs, which Gitea's auto-close parser
does not act on. Listing them here in bare form so the merge to `main`
definitively closes them rather than leaving them open to be re-picked up as
idle work:
