Interval change keeps unreported samples for the reporter (closes #124)

The interval menu cleared every host's history, and the reporter builds
each report from that history, so the samples recorded since the last
delivered report were never sent. The menu now resets each host with
HostState.reset, which moves the history's entries to clearedHistory,
keeping the last 100 it has cleared, and buildReport reads both. A host
still pending after the reset is sent with the status of its last check.
The per-host marks are unchanged, so a sample a delivered report had is
not sent again, and the page's history still starts over. Reporter is
exported for the new unit tests.

-has its forwarded headers ignored, and the direct peer is logged and
-rate-limited instead. The container image does not use this default; see
-[Deployment](#deployment).
-
-A variable set to a value the server cannot use, such as `PORT=abc`,
-`DEBUG=maybe` or a `BIND_ADDRESS` that is not an IP address, stops it from

-except `TRUSTED_PROXIES`.
-
-#### Report storage
-
-Reports are written as `reports-<timestamp>-<number>.jsonl.zst` files in
-`DATA_DIR`. The timestamp is in UTC to the millisecond, so the names sort by
-time. The number starts at 1 when the server starts and goes up by one for each
-file the server starts to write, so two files written in the same millisecond
-still get different names. A failed write uses up its number and leaves a gap in
-the numbers: its file, if it was created, is removed. The file stays, counted
-toward `DATA_DIR_MAX_BYTES` from the next start, only if removing it fails too.
-Files are created with `O_EXCL` to prevent overwrites.
-
-The reports of a failed write stay in memory, and the next flush, within a
-minute, tries again to write them. From the failed write until a write succeeds,
-`POST /api/v1/reports` refuses every report with 500 and keeps nothing of it, so
-the page keeps its samples and sends them again at its next report. Reports
-already answered 200 are lost only if the server stops before a write succeeds;
-the final flush at stop tries them too, and if it fails, the process exits
-non-zero.
-
-#### Report limits
-
-`POST /api/v1/reports` takes reports from anyone who can reach it, without
-credentials, so it is bounded instead. Each refusal below answers with the same
-`{"status":"error"}` body as any other error.
-
-- **JSON only.** A report must be sent with `Content-Type: application/json`,
-  parameters such as `charset` allowed, as the page sends it; any other is
-  refused with 415, and nothing of it is stored. A page on another origin can
-  send a `text/plain` POST, or a form, without a CORS preflight; refusing them
-  keeps any site from making its visitors' browsers store reports (see
-  [CORS](#cors)).
-- **Rate limit.** Each client address, resolved through `TRUSTED_PROXIES`, may
-  send `REPORTS_PER_MINUTE` reports a minute; past that it gets 429 with
-  `Retry-After: 60`. The minute slides: reports from the minute before still
-  count, fading out over the current one, so an address is sure never to be
-  refused only while it sends at most half of `REPORTS_PER_MINUTE` in any 60
-  seconds. The page sends one report a minute from each open tab, so the default
-  of 60 refuses nothing from up to 30 tabs behind one address, such as a
-  household or an office sharing it, however their reports bunch up. Report
-  responses also carry `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining` and
-  `X-RateLimit-Reset` headers.
-- **Size cap.** The report files in `DATA_DIR` may total at most
-  `DATA_DIR_MAX_BYTES`, counting the files already there at start. Reports
-  waiting in memory count at their uncompressed size until they are written,
-  those of a failed write included; the part of its file written is removed.
-  When a report would take the total past the cap, the oldest report files are
-  deleted to make room, and each deletion is logged with the file's name and
-  size; a file still being written is never deleted. A report is refused with
-  507, and nothing of it is stored, only when the reports waiting to be written
-  fill the cap on their own, and then no file is deleted. At start, report files
-  past the cap, as after lowering it, are deleted the same way. So the cap is
-  how much of the newest reports is kept: the default of 1 GiB is small enough
-  for any host; set it to the space you can give `DATA_DIR`.
-
-#### CORS
-
-The page calls the API from the origin it is served from, so by default the
-server sends no CORS headers, and browsers let no other origin's pages call it.
-To serve the page from elsewhere, list that origin in `CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS`
-(for example `https://netwatch.example.com`); pages from a listed origin may
-`GET` and `POST` with a `Content-Type` header. Each entry must be a plain
-origin, `scheme://host` with an optional `:port`, as browsers send it: no path,
-not even a trailing `/`, and no `*`. Any other entry stops the server from
-starting, with an error naming `CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS`.
-
-#### Metrics
-
-With both `METRICS_USERNAME` and `METRICS_PASSWORD` set, the server serves
-Prometheus metrics at `GET /metrics` to requests with those as their basic auth
-credentials, and answers any other with 401. For each request that reaches the
-health check or `POST /api/v1/reports`, those the rate limit refuses included,
-the metrics record its duration and response size, labelled with its path,
-method and status; they also count those requests in progress, and include Go's
-runtime and process metrics. No other request is recorded: not those to
-`/metrics` itself, and not those answered before they reach either route, such
-as a CORS preflight, or a request refused with 404 for a path no route has, 405
-for a method its route does not take, or 413 for declaring a body length over
-the 1 MiB limit. A report whose body goes over the limit without declaring its
-length reaches the route, is answered 413 there, and is recorded with that
-status. Clients can make up any number of paths and methods, and each would add
-labels to the metrics for as long as the server runs.
-
-`/metrics` is rate limited, so that its password cannot be guessed quickly: each
-client address, resolved through `TRUSTED_PROXIES`, may make 60 requests to it a
-minute, whatever their credentials. Past that it gets 429 with
-`Retry-After: 60`, and its credentials are not checked. The minute slides as it
-does for reports (see [Report limits](#report-limits)), so a scraper polling
-every 2 seconds or less often is never refused. This allowance is apart from the
-one for reports.
-
-#### Sentry
-
-With `SENTRY_DSN` set, each panic in a handler is reported to that Sentry
-project under the release `netwatch-server-` followed by the server's version.
-On shutdown the server waits up to 2 seconds for Sentry to finish sending.

 # Completed Steps
 
-- 2026-10-14: stopping the server waits for a report file write already under
-  way, the periodic flush's or the one `Append` starts when 10 MiB are waiting,
-  before the final flush
-  ([#122](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/netwatch/issues/122)). It used to return at
-  once, and the process exiting cut the write off, losing its reports. A write
-  under way that fails puts its reports back in memory, so the final flush
-  writes them; the stop fails, and the process exits non-zero, only if that
-  flush fails too. Two tests hold the periodic write and the one at 10 MiB open
-  and find the stop waiting until each is released; a third makes the held write
-  fail and finds its report written by the final flush. They run in a
-  `testing/synctest` bubble, so the periodic flush comes without waiting a
-  minute
-- 2026-10-14: `make test` no longer runs the frontend's production build, which
-  the tests do not need ([#118](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/netwatch/issues/118)).
-  `yarn build` moved out of the stage that runs the frontend's unit tests, now
-  named `frontend-test`, into a new `frontend-build` stage, which starts from it
-  and, like the `builder` stage, waits on the lint and test phases, so the image
-  still cannot be built unless they pass. The runtime stage copies `dist/` from
-  it, and the `git` that `vite.config.js` reads the commit with is installed
-  there. No build cache was added
-- 2026-10-14: opening the debug log no longer raises the measured latencies
-  ([#131](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/netwatch/issues/131)). With the panel open,
-  each line written drew the panel again with every line before it, up to 1000,
-  and a check that ends while the page draws is timed only when the drawing is
-  done. Each line is now added at the end of the open panel, its first line is
-  dropped once it holds more than 1000, and it scrolls to its newest line once a
-  frame rather than once a line; the whole panel is drawn only when it is
-  opened. A unit test writes more lines than the panel keeps and checks that the
-  lines already shown are left as they are
-- 2026-10-14: unset, the backend's own `TRUSTED_PROXIES` trusts `10.0.0.0/8`,
-  `172.16.0.0/12` and `192.168.0.0/16`, and no longer loopback; a list replaces
-  that; set and empty, it trusts no proxy, where it used to get the default, as
-  viper reads an empty environment variable as unset
-  ([#129](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/netwatch/issues/129)). A value it cannot
-  parse still stops the start, and the image still starts the backend with
-  `TRUSTED_PROXIES=127.0.0.1/32`. Tests load the config with it unset, empty and
-  set to a list
-- 2026-10-14: while report files cannot be written, `POST /api/v1/reports`
-  answers 500, and storing recovers once writing works again, with no restart
-  ([#123](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/netwatch/issues/123)). A failed write puts
-  its reports back in the report buffer, still counted against
-  `DATA_DIR_MAX_BYTES`, where they used to be lost; the next flush, within a
-  minute, tries them again. Until a write succeeds, every report is refused and
-  nothing of it is kept, so the buffer does not grow while writes fail. A test
-  posts reports through the report handler before, during and after a failure;
-  others check that a report appended while a write runs is kept, behind that
-  write's own, when the write fails, and that the cap still holds exactly once a
-  failed write's reports are written
-- 2026-10-14: a request whose handler panics is logged with status 500 and
-  counted with `code` 500 in the metrics
-  ([#125](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/netwatch/issues/125)), not 200. `Recoverer`
-  is still the first middleware; `Write500OnPanic`, after the request log and
-  after the metrics, writes the 500 as the panic passes and lets it go on to
-  Sentry and `Recoverer`, which now writes a 500 only when no status was written
-- 2026-10-14: with `TRUSTED_PROXIES` unset, the container's nginx trusts the
-  three private ranges of RFC 1918, `10.0.0.0/8`, `172.16.0.0/12` and
-  `192.168.0.0/16` ([#119](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/netwatch/issues/119)), as
-  sneak ruled on 2026-09-22 for every app; it trusted no proxy before. A list
-  replaces them, and set and empty it trusts none. The backend inside the
-  container still trusts only `127.0.0.1/32`
-- 2026-10-14: `POST /api/v1/reports` takes only a report sent with
-  `Content-Type: application/json`, parameters such as `charset` allowed, and
-  refuses any other with 415 and the usual error body, storing nothing
-  ([#126](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/netwatch/issues/126)). A page on another
-  origin can send a `text/plain` POST without a CORS preflight, so any site

+netwatch-server is an MIT-licensed Go HTTP backend by
+[@sneak](https://sneak.berlin) that receives telemetry reports from the NetWatch
+SPA and persists them as zstd-compressed JSONL files on disk.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+From this directory:
+
+```bash
+# Build and run locally
+make run
+```
+
+From the repo root, whose `Dockerfile` builds the one image that ships this
+backend behind nginx (see [Container image](#container-image)):
+
+```bash
+# Run tests, lint, and format check over the frontend and this backend
+make check
+
+# Build the image: nginx, the frontend and this backend
+make docker
+docker run -p 8080:8080 netwatch
+```
+
+## Entrypoints
+
+This directory follows the same
+[Scripts to Rule Them All](https://github.com/github/scripts-to-rule-them-all)
+pattern as the repo root: the targets in `backend/Makefile` are thin shims over
+`backend/script/`. The root `Dockerfile` runs `build`, and the root scripts call
+`fmt` and `fmt-check`:
+
+- `script/build` — compile the static `netwatch-server` binary with its version
+  stamped in. The version is `VERSION` from the environment; when that is unset
+  or empty, it falls back to `git describe` inside a git checkout, then to `dev`
+- `script/test` — run the Go tests on the host with the race detector and
+  coverage; the root `make test` runs them in the `test` phase of the root
+  `Dockerfile`. Go's `-timeout 90s` bounds the tests, not their compile, and
+  `-count=1` keeps Go from reporting a stored pass. If they fail, they run again
+  with `-v` for the details, and the script fails. The race detector needs a C
+  compiler
+- `script/lint` — run the root `script/lint`, which builds the `lint` phase of
+  the root `Dockerfile`: golangci-lint over this directory, and eslint over the
+  frontend. golangci-lint never runs on the host
+- `script/fmt` — format the Go sources (writes)
+- `script/fmt-check` — check Go formatting (read-only)
+- `script/run` — build and run the server locally
+- `script/clean` — remove build artifacts
+
+There is no `check`, `hooks` or `docker` target here: the root `make check`
+covers this directory, the root `make hooks` installs the repo's only pre-commit
+hook, and the root `make docker` builds the image that contains this backend.
+
+## Rationale
+
+The NetWatch frontend collects latency measurements from the browser but has no
+way to persist or aggregate them. This backend provides a minimal
+`POST /api/v1/reports` endpoint that buffers incoming reports in memory and
+flushes them to compressed files on disk for later analysis.
+
+## Design
+
+The server is structured as an `fx`-wired Go application under
+`cmd/netwatch-server/`. Internal packages in `internal/` follow standard Go
+project layout:
+
+- **`config`**: Loads configuration from environment variables and config files
+  via Viper.
+- **`handlers`**: HTTP request handlers for the API (health check, report
+  ingestion).
+- **`reportbuf`**: In-memory buffer that accumulates JSONL report lines and
+  flushes to zstd-compressed files when the buffer reaches 10 MiB or every 60
+  seconds.
+- **`server`**: Chi-based HTTP server with middleware wiring and route
+  registration.
+- **`healthcheck`**, **`middleware`**, **`logger`**, **`globals`**: Supporting
+  infrastructure.
+

+`TRUSTED_PROXIES` defaults to
+`127.0.0.1/32,::1/128,10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0/12,192.168.0.0/16`. The loopback
+entries cover a reverse proxy on the same host. A request whose direct peer is
+outside this set has its forwarded headers ignored, and the direct peer is
+logged and rate-limited instead. The container image does not use this default;
+see [Container image](#container-image).
+
+A variable set to a value the server cannot use, such as `PORT=abc`,
+`DEBUG=maybe` or a `BIND_ADDRESS` that is not an IP address, stops it from
+starting, with an error naming the variable. An empty variable counts as unset.
+
+### Container image
+
+The root `Dockerfile` builds one image in which nginx listens on the public port
+8080, serves the frontend, and proxies `/api/`, `/.well-known/healthcheck` and
+`/metrics` to this server. The image's entrypoint, `bin/entrypoint.sh`, starts
+the server as user `netwatch` (uid 1000) with `BIND_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1` and
+`PORT=8081`, so only nginx reaches it, and with `TRUSTED_PROXIES=127.0.0.1/32`,
+so it takes the client address nginx passes on and no other. `DATA_DIR` is
+`/data/reports`, on the `/data` volume; before starting the server, the
+entrypoint creates it and gives it and `/data` to `netwatch` with
+`netwatch-server prepare-data-dir`, which acts on nothing outside `/data`. nginx
+replaces the security headers this server sets with those in the root
+`security-headers.conf`, so those are what clients of the image see.
+
+The container's own `TRUSTED_PROXIES` goes to nginx instead: IP addresses or
+CIDRs, separated by commas, of the reverse proxies in front of the container.
+nginx takes the client address from `X-Forwarded-For` only on a request from one
+of them. Unset or empty, nginx trusts no proxy, and the client address is the
+one each request comes from, so every client behind a proxy shares one rate
+limit. An entry that is not an IP address or CIDR, such as a hostname or
+`1.2.3`, stops the container at start with an error naming `TRUSTED_PROXIES`:
+the entrypoint checks each entry with `netwatch-server check-cidr`, which parses
+it as this server parses its own `TRUSTED_PROXIES`.
+
+### Report storage
+
+Reports are written as `reports-<timestamp>-<number>.jsonl.zst` files in
+`DATA_DIR`. The timestamp is in UTC to the millisecond, so the names sort by
+time. The number starts at 1 when the server starts and goes up by one for each
+file the server starts to write, so two files written in the same millisecond
+still get different names. A failed write uses up its number and leaves a gap in
+the numbers: its file, if it was created, is removed. The file stays, counted
+toward `DATA_DIR_MAX_BYTES` from the next start, only if removing it fails too.
+Each file contains one JSON object per line, compressed with zstd. Files are
+created with `O_EXCL` to prevent overwrites.
+
+### Report limits
+
+`POST /api/v1/reports` takes reports from anyone who can reach it, without
+credentials, so it is bounded instead. Both refusals below answer with the same
+`{"status":"error"}` body as any other error.
+
+- **Rate limit.** Each client address, resolved through `TRUSTED_PROXIES`, may
+  send `REPORTS_PER_MINUTE` reports a minute; past that it gets 429 with
+  `Retry-After: 60`. The minute slides: reports from the minute before still
+  count, fading out over the current one, so an address is sure never to be
+  refused only while it sends at most half of `REPORTS_PER_MINUTE` in any 60
+  seconds. The page sends one report a minute from each open tab, so the default
+  of 60 refuses nothing from up to 30 tabs behind one address, such as a
+  household or an office sharing it, however their reports bunch up. Report
+  responses also carry `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining` and
+  `X-RateLimit-Reset` headers.
+- **Size cap.** The report files in `DATA_DIR` may total at most
+  `DATA_DIR_MAX_BYTES`, counting the files already there at start. Reports
+  waiting in memory count at their uncompressed size until they are written;
+  those lost to a failed write stop counting, and the part of its file written
+  is removed. When a report would take the total past the cap, the oldest report
+  files are deleted to make room, and each deletion is logged with the file's
+  name and size; a file still being written is never deleted. A report is
+  refused with 507, and nothing of it is stored, only when the reports waiting
+  to be written fill the cap on their own, and then no file is deleted. At
+  start, report files past the cap, as after lowering it, are deleted the same
+  way. So the cap is how much of the newest reports is kept: the default of 1
+  GiB is small enough for any host; set it to the space you can give `DATA_DIR`.
+
+### CORS
+
+The page calls the API from the origin it is served from, so by default the
+server sends no CORS headers, and browsers let no other origin's pages call it.
+To serve the page from elsewhere, list that origin in `CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS`
+(for example `https://netwatch.example.com`); pages from a listed origin may
+`GET` and `POST` with a `Content-Type` header. Each entry must be a plain
+origin, `scheme://host` with an optional `:port`, as browsers send it: no path,
+not even a trailing `/`, and no `*`. Any other entry stops the server from
+starting, with an error naming `CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS`.
+
+### Metrics
+
+With both `METRICS_USERNAME` and `METRICS_PASSWORD` set, the server serves
+Prometheus metrics at `GET /metrics` to requests with those as their basic auth
+credentials, and answers any other with 401. For each request that reaches the
+health check or `POST /api/v1/reports`, those the rate limit refuses included,
+the metrics record its duration and response size, labelled with its path,
+method and status; they also count those requests in progress, and include Go's
+runtime and process metrics. No other request is recorded: not those to
+`/metrics` itself, and not those answered before they reach either route, such
+as a CORS preflight, or a request refused with 404 for a path no route has, 405
+for a method its route does not take, or 413 for declaring a body length over
+the 1 MiB limit. A report whose body goes over the limit without declaring its
+length reaches the route, is answered 413 there, and is recorded with that
+status. Clients can make up any number of paths and methods, and each would add
+labels to the metrics for as long as the server runs. With neither set, nothing
+is recorded and `/metrics` answers 404. One without the other stops the server
+from starting, with an error naming both; so does a `METRICS_USERNAME`
+containing `:`, which basic auth cannot carry, with an error naming it.
+
+`/metrics` is rate limited, so that its password cannot be guessed quickly: each
+client address, resolved through `TRUSTED_PROXIES`, may make 60 requests to it a
+minute, whatever their credentials. Past that it gets 429 with
+`Retry-After: 60`, and its credentials are not checked. The minute slides as it
+does for reports (see [Report limits](#report-limits)), so a scraper polling
+every 2 seconds or less often is never refused. This allowance is apart from the
+one for reports.
+
+### Sentry
+
+With `SENTRY_DSN` set, the server sends its errors to that Sentry project: each
+panic in a handler is reported there, under the release `netwatch-server-`
+followed by the server's version, and the request still gets 500 from the
+server's panic recovery. On shutdown the server waits up to 2 seconds for Sentry
+to finish sending. A DSN Sentry refuses stops the server from starting, with an
+error naming `SENTRY_DSN`. With it empty, Sentry is not set up, and nothing is
+sent to it.
