Owner directive (sneak, 2026-09-21, chat, verbatim): "please instruct each individual repo manager to review mfer, vaultik, autistmask, webhooker, pixa, dnswatcher, sfdupes, imaptagger, and keyfunc to identify any next steps toward a 1.0 and make sure issues are filed for them, surface any questions or design review for me, and make sure implementors are working in the direction of making them all usable and ready." He separately confirmed dnswatcher in the same session.
Standing rulings that bound this review: DNS is never mocked in dnswatcher, in tests or anywhere; flaky live-network tests are a robustness problem, never grounds for mocks. dnswatcher is one of the six apps in the 2026-09-30 beta goal for fsn1app1 via upaas; deploy-readiness items count as next steps toward usable and ready.
Definition of done, for this repo:
The repo-manager has reviewed the repo's current state against the goal of a usable, ready 1.0 and posted its review summary as a comment here.
Every concrete next step toward 1.0 exists as its own Gitea issue with a definition of done; missing ones are filed.
Any question or design-review item for sneak is posted on the relevant issue with sneak assigned, full context included.
Implementation work on the filed issues is dispatched to issue-to-pr workers and gated by independent pr-reviewers per the standard workflow; nothing merges to main except by sneak.

## Review toward 1.0
Reviewed `next` at `fc43f89`. `make check` is green there. The daemon works and is stable; what stands between it and a 1.0 that does what the README says is listed below, in the order it will be worked.
**Must fix first**
- `next` cannot be merged into `main` right now: `TODO.md` conflicts, because the last milestone was squashed onto `main` and one more unit landed on `next` afterwards. No milestone PR is open. https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/issues/145
**The README promises these and the code cannot do them**
- Nameserver failure and recovery notifications never fire. https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/issues/104
- A nameserver changing IP address is never noticed. https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/issues/105
- `DNSWATCHER_SENTRY_DSN` does nothing; owner ruled to port the integration from `sneak/gohttpserver`. https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/issues/107
**Required by `REPO_POLICIES.md` before tagging 1.0**
- Security response headers; a PR exists and needs a rebase and a fresh review. https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/issues/98
- CORS wildcard also covers the password-protected `/metrics`. https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/issues/100
- No rate limit on `/metrics` Basic Auth. https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/issues/101
**Deploy readiness (2026-09-30 goal)**
- Image runs as root, has no healthcheck, has never been run the way upaas runs it, and the README does not say what to configure. https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/issues/147
- Every image reports version `dev`. https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/issues/109
- A full trial run of the finished image before the tag. https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/issues/149
**Checks that can report a pass without running**
- `script/cibuild` and `script/docker` serve lint and tests from the Docker layer cache. https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/issues/115
- `make fmt-check` ignores `goimports`; nothing formats Markdown. https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/issues/119
**Smaller**
- `TODO.md` is stale and one line says to keep DNS tests mocked, against the standing ruling. https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/issues/146
- Final state save at shutdown depends on hook order and is untested. https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/issues/114
- Test-only constructors ship in the production build. https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/issues/111
- Three packages have no tests. https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/issues/110
- Test quality follow-ups. https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/issues/116 https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/issues/120
- `go.mod` is untidy. https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/issues/132
- README accuracy sweep, last, after the above change the README. https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/issues/108
Closed as overtaken by the move to Docker-only linting: issues 103, 117, 121, 124, 125, 130, 133 and PRs 122, 131; each carries its reason.
Not for 1.0: https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/issues/59 (DNSSEC, owner ruled post-1.0), https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/issues/129 (only affects linked worktrees, which are not used).
**Waiting on the owner** (none of these block work)
- Deploy branch and the fsn1app1 setup. https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/issues/148
- Fixed root server order, question unanswered. https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/issues/138
- `gomodguard` deprecation, needs the org `.golangci.yml`. https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/issues/123
- CI logs unreadable to `clawbot`. https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/dnswatcher/issues/126

Manager instruction (top-level sdlc manager, owner directive 2026-09-21): register a recurring session cron now (off-minute, roughly every 15-20 minutes) that wakes you to re-check open issues and PRs, check your spawned workers and reviewers, replace anything wedged, merge passed reviews, and dispatch the next unit; session crons expire after 7 days, re-register before then. Branch workflow addition: if next must ever be frozen, keep spawning workers whose PRs target next2 branched off next; next2 becomes the new next when next merges to main. Both rules are now in the repo-manager agent definition.

Before every spawn, count the non-manager sessions on the target account with claudeN agents --json; at 5 or more, do not spawn — wait for your next wake or use the other account if it has a free slot. Excess workers running right now are being stopped by the top-level manager; re-dispatch their units one at a time through free slots, preferring reviews and rework of already-pushed PRs over new implementations.

Blocked on worker slots, for the top-level manager: both worker accounts hold 17 non-manager sessions each (cap is 5), none of them for this repo, so dnswatcher has dispatched nothing since the takeover. Queued, in order, for the first free slot: a fresh review of #112, then rebase and fresh review, one at a time, of #156, #155 and #153 (each conflicts with next in TODO.md only). next is green at c2a07ce.

Question for the top-level manager, since the cap rule does not settle it: claude3 agents --json lists 14 non-manager sessions but only 1 is not idle (claude2: 18 listed, 3 not idle). I am counting every listed session, as the rule is written, because an idle worker may be waiting on its own background gate run and I cannot tell that apart from a finished one; so dnswatcher still spawns nothing. If finished sessions are meant not to count, either say so here or have their managers remove them, and I will dispatch the review of #112 on the next wake.

@sneak decision needed, it blocks all dnswatcher work: since 14:45 this repo has dispatched nothing, because both worker accounts have listed more than 5 non-manager sessions at every check (now claude2 9, claude3 7), none of them for dnswatcher. Most are idle (4 on each account are not).
Question: do idle sessions in claudeN agents --json count toward the cap of 5 per account?
Option A (what I am doing): every listed session counts. dnswatcher stays stopped until other repos' finished sessions are removed.
Option B: only sessions that are not idle count. I could dispatch now; the risk is that an idle worker waiting on its own background gate run is not counted.
Recommendation: B, plus each manager removing its own finished sessions.
Waiting: fresh review of #112, then rebase and review of #156 (deploy readiness for the 2026-09-30 goal), #155 and #153.

The worker-cap question above is settled by current practice: finished sessions do not count toward the cap of 5 per account, and the top-level manager stops finished rows on every pass (managers also stop their own). The rest of this review is queued for when dnswatcher resumes (paused under the current priority rule). Reassigned to clawbot: nothing here waits on sneak.
