-## No DNS mocking. Ever.
-
-**DNS is never mocked in this project — not in tests, not anywhere else.**
-No mock resolvers, no fake DNS servers, no stubbed lookups.
-
-dnswatcher's entire purpose is correct behavior against the real DNS.
-Tests exercise real iterative resolution against live nameservers by
-design; a test suite that passes against a mock proves nothing about the
-one thing this program exists to do.
-
-When live tests are flaky, that is a robustness problem, and it gets
-fixed with robustness: retries with backoff, querying multiple
-independent nameservers, longer timeouts — or explicit opt-in gating
-decided by the project owner. Never with mocks.
-
-Contributions that introduce mocked, faked, or stubbed DNS will be
-rejected.

 ## Features

 ### DNS Domain Monitoring (Apex Domains)
@@ -182,46 +162,6 @@ dnswatcher exposes a lightweight HTTP API for operational visibility:
 | `GET /api/v1/status`                  | Current monitoring state       |
 | `GET /metrics`                        | Prometheus metrics (optional)  |

-### Security Headers
-
-Every response — the dashboard, the static assets under `/s/...`, the
-healthchecks, the JSON API, and `/metrics` — carries the following
-headers, set by a global middleware:
-
-| Header                      | Value                                 |
-|-----------------------------|---------------------------------------|
-| `Strict-Transport-Security` | `max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains` |
-| `Content-Security-Policy`   | see below                             |
-| `X-Frame-Options`           | `DENY`                                |
-| `X-Content-Type-Options`    | `nosniff`                             |
-| `Referrer-Policy`           | `no-referrer`                         |
-| `Permissions-Policy`        | all unused browser features denied    |
-
-The content security policy is:
-
-```
-default-src 'self'; script-src 'none'; style-src 'self'; img-src 'self';
-font-src 'none'; connect-src 'none'; object-src 'none'; base-uri 'none';
-form-action 'none'; frame-ancestors 'none'
-```
-
-The dashboard ships no JavaScript (the 30-second refresh is a
-`<meta http-equiv="refresh">`), no inline styles, no inline event
-handlers, and no images; its only subresource is the embedded stylesheet
-at `/s/css/tailwind.min.css`, which `style-src 'self'` permits. The
-policy therefore needs neither `unsafe-inline` nor `unsafe-eval`.
-`frame-ancestors 'none'` is the primary anti-framing control, with
-`X-Frame-Options: DENY` retained as the legacy fallback.
-
-HSTS is emitted unconditionally, including over plain HTTP. dnswatcher is
-expected to run behind a TLS-terminating reverse proxy, and the browser
-must still be told to enforce HTTPS end to end, so the header is never
-gated on whether the request itself arrived over TLS.
-
-`Referrer-Policy: no-referrer` is stricter than the
-`strict-origin-when-cross-origin` baseline: the dashboard has no
-cross-origin navigation needs, and its URL may name internal hosts.

 # Completed Steps

- 2026-08-09: security response headers middleware
-  (`SecurityHeaders()` in `internal/middleware/middleware.go`)
-  registered globally in `internal/server/routes.go`, so HSTS, CSP,
-  `X-Frame-Options`, `X-Content-Type-Options`, `Referrer-Policy`, and
-  `Permissions-Policy` are set on every response including `/s/...` and
-  `/metrics`; the CSP needs no `unsafe-inline`/`unsafe-eval` because the
-  dashboard ships no JavaScript and no inline styles; HSTS is emitted
-  unconditionally per policy (TLS-terminating proxy in front). Remaining
-  1.0 hardening items — `http.Server` timeouts, request body limits,
-  rate limiting, CORS scoping — are tracked separately
- 2026-08-07: golangci-lint bumped to v2.12.2 (commit-pinned installs
-  in `Dockerfile` and `script/bootstrap`); `.golangci.yml` set to the
-  org-standard v2-schema config used across the org's repos
-  (owner-authorized; same file is being landed as canonical via prompts
-  PR #24), with settings under `linters.settings` so the
-  lll/funlen/cyclop/dupl thresholds apply; fixed the resulting
-  `goconst`, `dupl`, and `lll` findings; the informational `gomodguard`
-  deprecation warning under this config is accepted
 - 2026-07-07 Adopted scripts-to-rule-them-all: `script/` entrypoints,
  Makefile shims, README Entrypoints section
 - 2026-02-20: iterative DNS resolver implemented; tests made hermetic
