+# Status
+
+pre-1.0. No git tags. Runs in production-style Docker deployment, but
+the policy compliance branch (repo-policies-compliance, make check
+passing, clean tree) is unmerged to main and the CI workflow is missing.
+
+# Next Step
+
+Merge repo-policies-compliance into main (3 commits: policy files and
+.gitignore, Makefile targets fmt-check/check/docker/hooks, gofmt pass),
+then add .gitea/workflows/check.yml as a small follow-up commit so CI
+runs make check on main.
+
+# Completed Steps
+
+- 2026-02-22: repo policy compliance: required policy files, .gitignore
+  update, Makefile fmt-check/check/docker/hooks targets, gofmt pass
+  (repo-policies-compliance, unmerged)
+- 2026-01-01: WAL checkpointing: periodic (5s), on startup with logging,
+  TRUNCATE mode; fixed slow queries
+- 2025-12-31: status page: navbar, home page with search, oldest/newest
+  route timestamps, NULL handling in WHOIS stats; container runs as
+  routewatch user with proper state dir
+- 2025-12-30: structured HTTP request logging, increased timeouts,
+  CIDR prefix URL routing fixes, status page metrics and footer
+- 2025-12-29: Dockerfile multi-stage build with source archive; SQLite
+  incremental vacuum for non-blocking space reclamation
+- 2025-07-27: initial RouteWatch BGP stream monitor
+
+# Future Steps
+
+- Verify main is green after the merge: make check locally and the new
+  CI workflow passing
+- Review stale remote branches fix-min-time-calculation and
+  optimize-sqlite-settings: land or delete
+- Clean up the tmp/ directory at the repo root: gitignore or remove
