server.go starts listenAndServe in an anonymous function (closes #162)

The server's OnStart hook started the HTTP listener with
`go s.listenAndServe()`; the Go style guide asks for a function called
with `go` to be wrapped in an anonymous function, so it is now
`go func() { s.listenAndServe() }()`. No other go statement in the Go
code called a function directly. Nothing the server does changed.

 # Completed Steps
 
+- 2026-10-19: the server's `OnStart` hook in `internal/server/server.go` starts
+  `listenAndServe` with `go func() { s.listenAndServe() }()`, as the Go style
+  guide asks ([#162](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/netwatch/issues/162)); it was
+  `go s.listenAndServe()`. No other `go` statement in the Go code called a
+  function directly. Nothing the server does changed
+- 2026-10-19: `.gitignore`, `.editorconfig` and `.golangci.yml` are the
+  sneak/prompts copies at `0653579`
+  ([#174](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/netwatch/issues/174)). `.gitignore` is the
+  standard file followed by this repository's own entries; `.editorconfig` is
+  the standard file alone, which now carries the `[*.go]` section.
+  `.golangci.yml` disables `canonicalheader`, as the canonical copy does,
+  because golangci-lint v2.14.0 misses its findings at random
+- 2026-10-19: `package.json` has no `version` field and is marked
+  `"private": true` ([#158](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/netwatch/issues/158)). It
+  said `1.0.0`, a release that has not been made, and nothing read it; the git
+  tag is the one version, which the image and `make build` take from
+  `git describe --tags`. The package is never published
+- 2026-10-19: Status names `v1.0.0-rc1`, the first release candidate, and says
+  release candidates are tagged on `next`, where it said there were no git tags
+  ([#157](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/netwatch/issues/157)). The rest of Status
+  matches the tree
+- 2026-10-19: `netwatch-server` starts the server only when given no arguments
+  ([#179](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/netwatch/issues/179)). `check-cidr CIDR` and
+  `prepare-data-dir DATA_DIR` behave as before; any other arguments, such as a
+  subcommand with no value or two, or a misspelt one, print a one-line usage
+  message naming both forms to stderr and exit 2. They used to start the server.
+  Unit tests call `cli.Main` with no arguments and check that it starts the
+  server, and with each subcommand given no value and two values and with a
+  misspelt subcommand, and check the exit code, the message and that the server
+  does not start
