Bring TODO.md Status and Next Step to the run in progress (closes #251)

Status and Next Step described the 24-hour run of 9bd0e91, whose outcome
was posted on issue 226 on 3 November. They now describe the run of
e58c663 on issue 232: at least 24 hours, then on until the feed stalls or
reconnects, up to 72 hours, and what its outcome reports. Two Completed
Steps entries of 10 November are rewritten: the ProtonVPN entry ran past
30 words, and the busy-host test entry referred to waits it had not named.
The PTR entry defines TTL. An entry for this read is added.

-A five-day run of `1c65656` on the live feed, from 2026-10-27 to 2026-11-01,
-found three problems:
+Five runs of `next` on the live feed have ended since 2026-10-27, from three
+hours to five days long. The runs found the handlers dropping updates for five
+causes, and the WHOIS fetcher asking a registry that had refused it. Each is
+fixed on `next`, and its Completed Steps entry below names its issue. A 21-hour
+run of `742e759`, which has every fix but one, dropped no update except after
+the feed stalled. That cause, https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/routewatch/issues/229,
+is fixed on `next`.
 
-- The prefix handler dropped updates while a peer's session went down
-  (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/routewatch/issues/216).
-- The AS handler dropped updates when the feed burst
-  (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/routewatch/issues/217).
-- The WHOIS fetcher kept asking a registry that had refused it

-A run of `26d939a` on the live feed showed the prefix handler still dropping
-updates while the home page's cards were worked out.
-https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/routewatch/issues/226 fixed that on `next`.
-https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/routewatch/issues/225, also on `next`, takes the peers

 # Next Step
 
-Post the outcome of the 24-hour run of `9bd0e91` on
-https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/routewatch/issues/226: whether any handler still drops
-updates, and the process's peak memory against 5 GiB. File an issue for each
-problem the run finds.
+Post the outcome of the 24-hour run of `e58c663` on
+https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/routewatch/issues/232. The run lasts at least 24
+hours. If the feed has not stalled or reconnected by then, the run goes on until
+it does, up to 72 hours in all. The outcome says:
+
+- whether the feed stalled or reconnected
+- whether any handler dropped an update, and the most messages the prefix
+  handler's queue held at once
+- the most messages the prefix handler held back at once
+- the size of the `origin_changes` table on disk
+- the process's peak memory against 5 GiB
+
+File an issue for each problem the run finds.
 
 # Completed Steps
