internal/config/config.go lines 131 to 135, at v1.0.0-rc1: DEBUG is parsed with strconv.ParseBool, so only true, false, 1, 0, t, f and their case variants are accepted; DEBUG=yes, DEBUG=on or DEBUG=debug stop the server, and in the image stop the container at start. README.md documents this ("DEBUG=maybe ... stops it from starting"), and #59 asked for it.
How to see it: docker run -e DEBUG=yes netwatch exits 1 with DEBUG "yes": must be true or false.
What is right: prompts/CODE_STYLEGUIDE.md item 7 (line 34 to 36): "Debug mode is enabled by setting the environment variable DEBUG to a non-empty string." prompts/GO_HTTP_SERVER_CONVENTIONS.md reads it with viper.GetBool, which treats any other value as false. The two documents differ from each other; neither refuses to start. This is for sneak to decide: which document wins, and whether the strict parsing stays as a documented exception.
Severity: low.
Definition of done
sneak's ruling is recorded on this issue: DEBUG enables debug mode for any non-empty value (code style guide), is a boolean read as false when unparsable (conventions), or stays strict (the tree today).
The code, internal/config/config_test.go (TestDebugMustBeTrueOrFalse) and the DEBUG rows of README.md Settings and "Running under upaas" match the ruling; if the strict parsing stays, the README says it departs from the code style guide and why.
TODO.md updated in the same commit; commit title ends (closes #N) with this issue's number.

Decided from the record rather than asked: prompts/CODE_STYLEGUIDE.md item 7 is the general rule, "Debug mode is enabled by setting the environment variable DEBUG to a non-empty string", and no ruling of sneak's chose the strict parsing (it came from a plan comment on #59). Reading an unparsable value as false, as GO_HTTP_SERVER_CONVENTIONS.md does, is ruled out by the standing rule that a set but unparsable setting stops the start. So: DEBUG unset or empty is off, any other value turns debug logging on, and no value stops the start. internal/config/config.go, its test (in place of TestDebugMustBeTrueOrFalse), and the DEBUG rows of README.md Settings and "Running under upaas" change to match, and the README no longer gives false as a value to set.

Built as decided above in #175: DEBUG unset or empty is off, any other value turns debug logging on, and no value stops the start. bin/entrypoint.sh and the Dockerfile do not handle DEBUG, so they are unchanged.
