README, TODO and the viewport README say what the tree does (closes #24)

README.md: Getting Started leads with make targets; a Backend section
gives netwatch-server's routes and how the image builds and runs it,
pointing to backend/README.md for its settings; the checks are GET
requests; the WAN host list, health states, summary figures, sorting
and missing features match src/main.js; the TODO section points to
TODO.md, which holds the one to-do list.

TODO.md: Workflow branches from next and opens the PR against next;
Status, Next Step and Future Steps describe the open work, linked to
its issue where one exists.

not vitest.

-  written to the browser console
-  ([#114](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/netwatch/issues/114)). The Hetzner
-  speed-test servers close the connection without an answer when the URL has a

-  recorded check that fails writes one `console.error` line, and the same line
-  to the debug log, with the target's name and URL, the time, what failed and
-  how long the request took; a target that answers after failed checks writes
-  one `console.info` line. Checks the page does not record write none, so the
-  debug log no longer lists failures in the first round or in the recovery probe

-  ([#111](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/netwatch/issues/111)): each check is a
-  `fetch`, the browser picks IPv4 or IPv6 for each WAN host, and the local
-  targets are IPv4 addresses. The rest of the footer is unchanged

   a new Backend section says what `netwatch-server` stores, its routes and how
